As long as they could rescue the child, their suffering this time wouldn't be in vain.
With the help of the hydraulic jack, the massive boulder pressing on Joe and Charlotte was quickly lifted, creating enough space for them to crawl out of the crevice.
They narrowly escaped the danger.
After Joe and Charlotte emerged, the team leader purposefully leaned in to take a look and couldn't help but marvel.
"The gaps between these two boulders were just right. If they were even ten centimeters shorter, Mr. Smith might have been seriously injured." The team leader pointed out the two crevices and explained them to Charlotte and Joe.
Seeing this scene, Charlotte took a sharp breath.
She couldn't help but imagine the extent of Joe's injuries if the dimensions hadn't been just right.
Thinking about it, she instinctively held Joe's hand tightly.
Sensing her unease, Joe squeezed her hand and gave her a reassuring smile.
"Don't worry, I'm perfectly fine, aren't I?"
Charlotte looked deeply into his eyes and nodded firmly.
After tending to their minor cuts and scrapes, Charlotte and Joe approached the crevice.
Two experts from the research station had already descended, carefully securing the rope around Samuel. They signaled to the people above to pull him up.
However, due to Samuel being wedged tightly in the crevice, they attempted several times without success.
