Chapter 1357: How are you slightly stronger than others?

Chapter 1357: How are you slightly stronger than others?

Night.

Almost 10 pm.

Dong Xuebing ignored everybodys stares and smoked. He turned and looked at the pile of rubbles. He was relieved. It was dangerous, but he managed to save Zeng Jinhua.

Everybody relaxed.

The crowd started cheering.

You are fantastic, Mayor Dong!

Thats right! You managed to save that person in that situation!

How did you move that one-ton wall?

You are awesome!

The firemen had got off the ladder platform. Some checked the other buildings to see if anyone was injured, and the fire department team leader walked over to Dong Xuebing with some of his men. Thank you, Mayor Dong. Dong Xuebing had pulled him back when the floor beneath him gave way.

Dong Xuebing replied. Dont mention it.

The firemen stared at Dong Xuebings arms. They wanted to see how big his arms were.

Thats one ton!

1,000kg!

They still could not accept it and felt ashamed. Seven firemen could not move that concrete slab by an inch, and they gave up. But Mayor Dong flipped it over by himself! It was embarrassing for them. They were professional rescuers, and the civilians saw everything. The civilians might think they did not try their best. But the firemen swore they had tried everything they had. But they could not move it. They wonder how Mayor Dong did it.

Not only the firemen felt this way.

The other civilians and county government staff were puzzled.

We owe it to you. The fire department team leader said.

Dong Xuebing saw everybody looking at him and knew he must say something. He looked at the team leader. You all helped too. That concrete slab was not that heavy. You all could not lift it because it was stuck on the ground. You all loosened it when you tried to lift it, and the floor cracked afterward. It was dislodged, and I lifted it. How else do you think I can lift it? Do you all think I am that strong? How is it possible?

The firemen were doubtful. Even if it was stuck, it weighs at least 500 kg.

Everybody was doubtful. They saw the thickness and length of that concrete slab. It was very thick. Weightlifters could lift four to five hundred kilograms of barbells, but they had techniques. It is different from lifting irregular objects. A top weightlifter might only lift around 300 to 400 kilograms here. But Dong Xuebing lifted that piece of concrete slab. It weighs at least 500 kg.

Dong Xuebing could lift more than a professional weightlifter!

How strong is he?

How strong are his arms?

Even if that concrete slab weighed less than a ton, as Dong Xuebing claimed, his strength was still abnormal. This was not something an ordinary person could do.

They remembered Dong Xuebing said he was slightly stronger than most people before he got onto the ladder platform.

You lifted over 500 kg.

How is this slightly stronger than most people?

God damn!

How can you compare yourself with other people? A car is not as heavy as that concrete slab! Have you seen anyone flipping over a car? Even a weightlifter could not do it.

The other side.

The County TV station and newspaper reporters arrived. They started taking pictures of Dong Xuebing. A female reporter lifted a microphone to interview him. Mayor Dong, I am from the County TV station. Am I interrupting your treatment? Can I ask you a few questions? We saw you risking your life to save others earlier. We also saw debris falling on you. Like many others, we were touched and cried. I noticed you had been using your body to shield the victim from the falling debris with your body. Those debris were at least ten kilograms. I believe many others are as curious as I am. What were you thinking at that moment?

Dong Xuebing replied. I was not thinking about anything. All I wanted was to save that person.

The female reporter saw some leaders and staff chasing the other reporters away and quickly asked her next question. You could have got onto the ladder platform and escape the danger. Why didnt you run, and why did you continue despite the danger?

Jiang Fangfang, who had instructed the other leaders about the follow-up tasks, saw the reporter and said something to Secretary Li Xiaona.

Li Xiaona walked over quickly and stopped the interview. Mayor Dong needs rest and treatment.

But Dong Xuebing nodded to Li Xiaona and looked at the female reporter. Escape? I am a civil servant and a Party member. Everybody can retreat, but not me. I can be injured or face any dangers, but I cannot let people down. I dont want them to remember today as a County Leader, surname Dong, had left a person to die and escaped. This was not his first interview. He was interviewed at least eight times before. He had offended many people but lost count of how many people he saved.

Enough. The interview shall end here. Li Xiaona stopped the reporter.

Yao Cui and a few County Government staff came over to help Dong Xuebing. Mayor Dong, the ambulance is waiting. Lets go now. You are still bleeding.

The government staff blocked the female reporter, and she shouted. How are your injuries? Can you show it to us? I heard your blood type is RH-negative. You

The female reporter asked a few questions.

After the Party Committee meeting, Dong Xuebing was in the limelight again. Everybody in the County will be watching him from today onwards.

Dong Xuebing was used to such incidents and knew how to answer. My injuries are not important. I am more concerned about the victims condition.
