Chapter 727 Successful Rescue
Upon hearing that Fiorello was buried under the landslide, Timothy was shocked, "Fiorello is there too? Melissa, this is too dangerous, we need to leave immediately."
"Timothy, this is a great opportunity. If Fiorello is in trouble and we stay to help find him, he will owe us a favor," Melissa calculated in her mind and said, "If Fiorello is dead, we need to stay and confirm it. Without Fiorello, the Visionary Futures Group will likely fall apart."
Mainly, without Fiorello, Maggie would lose her backing. Melissa wanted to see how Maggie could still be envied.
Once Melissa made up her mind, Timothy couldn't change it, so he had to stay with her.
Wave after wave of rescue teams arrived, along with many volunteers. The local villagers organized themselves to help with the rescue.
Melissa joined the volunteer team to help, but it was all for marketing purposes.
While she was helping to search for the victims, a professional photographer was taking pictures of her.
They were all staged photos; Melissa wouldn't do the hard work.
In front of the camera, Melissa put on a compassionate look, appearing as a great philanthropist.
The rescue team was very busy. They dug out a car from under the mudslide and pulled out a deceased driver.
Melissa walked over and signaled the photographer to follow, focusing the camera on her and the deceased driver.
With a tense expression, Melissa held onto the stretcher and pretended to ask the rescue team, "How many people have been rescued so far? Can you tell me what the situation is inside?"
A man from the rescue team, fed up with Melissa's hypocrisy, shouted, "Don't interfere with our rescue efforts. You people are only hindering our work. Leave immediately. When the next mudslide comes, we won't have enough people to save you. You're playing with lives. Do you have any conscience making money this way?"
The man from the rescue team shouted at Melissa and quickly took the injured to the ambulance.
Melissa's face turned red with embarrassment. She told the photographer, "Edit out that part of the video."
Photographer said, "Yes, Melissa."
Melissa was thick-skinned and wouldn't leave because of this.
She told the photographer to shoot more discreetly and continued to stage many photos. She wanted the photographer to edit them well for a video to gain more followers.
The sky quickly darkened. It was only a little past three in the afternoon, but the sky was covered with dark clouds, and a storm was coming.
The rescue team carried out another injured person, and Melissa saw that it was Fiorello's assistant, William.
William was unconscious with multiple fractures.
Melissa asked the rescue team, "Which car did you dig him out from? Are there others?"
Since William was found, Fiorello should be among the victims.
No one paid attention to Melissa; everyone was busy.
Melissa walked towards the collapsed tunnel entrance. Timothy saw her and quickly ran over, "Melissa, you can't go forward. The next mudslide is coming."
"I just saw William. Fiorello must still be in there. Timothy, this is our chance."
Melissa was someone who wouldn't give up any opportunity. She knew how important this chance was.
Melissa walked inside, and Timothy, worried, had to follow.
After several hours of rescue efforts, a lot of the mud and rocks on the road had been cleared, and a hole was made at the tunnel entrance, allowing one person to go in and out.
Melissa watched as the rescue team and volunteers carried out one victim after another, constantly searching among them.
God favored Melissa, and she indeed found Fiorello among the injured.
Fiorello was unconscious, his head covered in blood, being carried out of the tunnel by the rescue team.
"Timothy, quick, I see Fiorello," Melissa shouted and quickly followed the rescue team.
The ambulances were not enough, and even private cars were helping to transport the injured to the hospital.
The rescue team was busy directing volunteers to take the injured to the hospital. Melissa seized the opportunity, "I have a car. Put the injured in my car, and I'll take them to the hospital."
The next wave of the mudslide was imminent, and the rescue team was in a hurry to save more people inside the tunnel. Without thinking too much, they let Melissa take Fiorello on the stretcher.
