Chapter 46: Farewell in Death

  Lin Yu looked at the rising river water, his eyebrows gradually furrowed. Jiao Enjun had been in a coma all along and couldn't wake up. And the crowd finally began to get restless.

  Yes, in such a closed space, at such a critical moment, they are not impossible. Lin Yu had been feeling somewhat depressed. He knew that on the north side of this tunnel, within the boundaries of Hankou, there was definitely a road connecting to Metro Line 1, only, until now, he still hadn't found that road.

  Lin Yu made three rounds of search, all in vain. The crowd's disappointment grew stronger with each failure. Lin Yu knew he was on the verge of a mental breakdown. He couldn't afford to go for a fourth round of searching. If he still couldn't find a way out, what awaited him would be an eruption from the crowd.

  Lin Yu Ke didn't want to become the target of these idiots' final blow.

  "Son." The elderly couple walked over and leaned in close to Lin Yu, whispering to him, "Is there no other way?"

  Looking at the old man's turbid eyes, Lin Yu didn't know what to say and could only shake his head helplessly.

  "Son, we know it's not easy for you either, don't worry too much." The old man said calmly. "My wife and I have been together for 40 years, there's nothing to regret. You've done a great job, you're a heroic figure, no need to blame yourself. Besides, didn't you also get trapped in here trying to rescue us?"

  Lin Yu looked at the optimistic old couple, his heart filled with emotion. In such a desperate situation, they didn't think of their own safety, but instead comforted each other.

  Alas, when did I, Lin He, fall to the point of needing old men to ensure my safety?

  Lin smiled and glanced at the old man, deciding to proceed with the 4th search. Hehe, no matter what, one can't give up hope, even if those people want to riot, it's their business. At least he tried his best, clear conscience.

  Thinking of this, Lin Yu's heart finally had fewer worries and more calmness.

  Lin took out his flashlight, carefully adjusting it to power-saving mode. This was already his second-to-last flashlight. He might as well save a bit of battery life wherever he could. He immediately began another search of the tunnel.

  Lin had just walked out less than 50 meters when a cry of surprise came from behind him by Chen Yun.

  Lin and Xiang didn't think twice, immediately turned around and ran back. At this time, everyone here was like a madman, no one could guarantee what they would do next.

  This cry of surprise shocked Lin Yu's vigilance, and he rushed over like a flying bird. Seeing Chen Yun standing there unscathed, Lin Yu let out a sigh of relief.

  It turned out that Jiao Enjun woke up.

  "Hey, buddy." Lin Yuqiang walked up with a smile and greeted Jiao Enjun. "How was your sleep?"

  "I'm done for. I've had it." Jiao Enjun lifted his hand weakly and shook it, his face still deathly pale. "Look, my legs won't move anymore."

  "Hey, don't worry, I can carry you, and when the time comes, I'll carry you out."

  Jiao Enjun's face flashed a hint of silence, but immediately returned to its original state.

  "Lin Yu, come here, I have something to tell you."

  Lin Yi leaned against the past, how could he not know that with Jiao Enjun's injuries, it was impossible to escape from this tunnel surrounded by river water? He, who had injured both legs, couldn't swim at all.

  "I know a way, it's a bit far, but it can take us to the other side... of the forest," Jiao Enjun whispered into Lin Yu's ear.

  "Go and take a good look, about 20 meters in front of the north exit, there is a door. Behind the door, there is a passageway that leads to a worker's rest room, which is where the workers who built the tunnel rested."

  Lin was slightly startled in his heart, and he did not expect that Jiao Enjun would be so familiar with the internal environment of the tunnel. Just as he was about to speak, Jiao Enjun stopped him.

  "Don't be too happy, there's no road leading out to the outside, it's just that the terrain is higher than the tunnel. It can only delay being flooded by the river water for a while longer. If there really was a way out, I would have taken them with me long ago. This is all I can do to help you, from now on, everyone will be on their own."

  "You... you..." Lin Yu looked at Jiao Enjun's pale face, unsure of what to say for a moment. He gritted his teeth and turned around to leave.

  Under Jiao Enjun's obvious indication, Lin Yu quickly found the hidden door. However, what he didn't expect was that the door actually opened at the bottom of the tunnel. Now, it has been submerged by the river water.

  Lin Yu opened the door underwater and found a passageway inside. However, to get through it, he had to dive.

  Lin thought about Jiao Enjun's leg, and his heart ached inexplicably again, almost bringing tears to his eyes. He struggled to calm himself down, then turned around and rushed back to where everyone was gathered.

  "Alright, we've found a way to a safer place. Everyone go gather there first, I'll bring him over later." Lin nodded at Chen Yun, and she immediately led the crowd towards the north tunnel.

  Lin Yu placed a very eye-catching sign in front of them, not afraid that they wouldn't see it.

  Lin Yu watched the crowd walk away, then turned around and looked at Jiao Enjun with a complicated mood. Although he had only known this man for less than 5 hours, Lin Yu was already captivated by his unique personality charm, and from the bottom of his heart, Lin Yu had taken him as his own friend.

  After all, in such a dangerous situation, it can even hasten the friendship of the law enforcement officers. Moreover, he is such an upright man. Thinking of that timid tunnel administrator and then thinking of Jiao Enjun, Lin felt a pang of heartache.

  Is this fate?

  "I know." Jiao Enjun's face was calm as he gazed at the ceiling, saying lightly: "You must be curious why I knew that road. It's actually very simple, I'm familiar with the blueprint of this tunnel."

  He glanced at Lin Yu. "This would be suitable for my father. You should also know him, his name is Jiao Zhe."

  "What? You!!"

  "You don't have to be so surprised." Jiao Enjun's tone was surprisingly calm. "Actually, you've been feeling strange for a while now, haven't you? You're curious about how familiar I am with the tunnel, and why I'm so calm. Hehe, I grew up in my dad's office, so this tunnel, I know it better than he does."

  Jiao Enjun turned his head and looked deeply at Lin Youyi, his eyes filled with complex emotions.

  "But I can only help you this much. The road ahead, you'll have to take them there yourself."

  "No, you won't," Lin said, gritting his teeth. "I can carry you on my back, we'll definitely be able to get out."

  "Dude, who are you kidding?" Jiao Enjun smiled slightly, with a hint of indifference. "I weigh 160 pounds too, and you want me to carry you while diving? We'll both end up dead. They still need you to find a way out. You can't play with suicide."

  Lin Yu looked at Jiao Enjun's angular face and felt a pang in her heart, just as she was about to speak, but he preempted her.

  "Alright, you know it in your heart. No need to be wishy-washy. I can tell that you have a military background. A soldier shouldn't be like this. After you go out, remember to tell my dad one thing."

  Jiao Enjun struggled to sit up, and his eyes suddenly burst out with a strong divine light.

  "I may be a hoodlum, but I'm not a bad egg!!!"

  Lin Yu looked at Jiao Enjun, who was lying on the car roof, and didn't say a word for half a day. He struggled to hold back his tears and gently patted Jiao Enjun's shoulder.

  "Sorry."

  Lin Yu rushed into the endless darkness. Listening to Lin Yu's footsteps, Jiao Enjun smiled happily.

  "Dad, this time I didn't let you down again."
