Someone grabbed her arm from behind, pulling her up and dragging her to a rock above, away from the river.
Bai Xiao lay face down on the spot where she was just rescued, exhausted to the point she couldn't move a muscle.
She felt as though her body was as heavy as a thousand pounds, requiring great effort even to move her little finger.
Yet she still lifted her head, looking to both sides, and finally saw the rescued doctor Zhang and Xiaoyu.
Doctor Zhang seemed to have exhausted his last bit of strength, his arms hung limp as he knelt on the riverbank, gasping and groaning softly.
At this point, he had already removed the backpack from his back and needed a good breath of air.
He collapsed dejectedly onto the ground, closed his eyes, and told himself that he was proud; he managed to keep the equipment and medicines intact. Even in his youth, he had not experienced such thrills—who would have thought that even in old age, he would feel this passionate again.
