Chapter 63: Temporary Command

Through the thick raincoat, Ivy could actually hear his steady heartbeat. Her cheeks were hot, and she hurriedly let go of her arms and took a small step back.

Owen gripped her arm, which was as thin as a hemp rod, and couldn't help but frown. "Your shoes are not good, sooner or later they will make you fall into trouble. He seemed to blame, but there was concern in his tone.

"Let's just not wear shoes......" Ivy stuck out her tongue. She held Owen with one hand, took off her two rain boots with the other, and stood barefoot in the mud, "Ah, it feels so lighter." ”

"Will this work?" Owen looked at her with a frown.

The hat that came with the raincoat couldn't withstand the rain on her head, and Ivy's hair was already soaked, sticking to her face one by one. She wiped the water from her face, her eyes drenched in the rain, and squinted at Owen.

Even though the soles of her feet hurt from the rocks and sharp branches, she smiled heartily, tilted her head and said, "No problem, I'm not so squeamish." Let's go. ”

After walking a distance of about two or three hundred meters, a second cordon appeared in front of him, which must have been the location of the accident.

Ivy couldn't wait to cross the cordon, but Owen reached out to stop her.

He looked around: The rescue team composed of dozens of armed police, firefighters, and special police officers was busy with their own division of labor. Less than 50 meters away from the two of them, there was a simple board house made of plywood, and the light came through the window of the board house.

Owen pointed to the lighted board room with his finger on, raised his voice and said to Ivy: "There must be a temporary headquarters, you go there first to understand the situation at the scene." I'll keep it here for some footage and pick where I'm going to shoot next. Ten minutes later, we meet here. ”

"Okay!" the noise of the wind and rain is so loud that you need to shout at the top of your voice.

Ivy tiptoed to the board room, her socks were blackened by muddy water, and she couldn't distinguish the original color.

Owen looked at her back, and there was a little worry in his heart: Does her foot hurt?

The two went their separate ways.

The board room is lined with gas canisters, cooking stoves, a large pile of pots and pans, and a few plastic baskets with vegetables, which looks like the kitchen of the construction site. The power was indeed cut off at the construction site, and the light source in the room came from two rechargeable emergency lights.

There were five people in the room, a man in his fifties who looked like a civil servant in a black jacket, two men in police and firefighter uniforms, a man with a fleshy face and a gold watch, and a construction worker in a yellow hard hat and muddy water, sitting on the ground shivering.

A man in a black jacket sits upright on a rusty folding stool, his eyebrows furrowed. A man in a police uniform, holding a pen and a piece of cardboard, is drawing a picture and telling him something.

The atmosphere was suffocating, and Ivy stood in the doorway for a full five minutes, no one noticing her presence.

"Smack!" a man in a black jacket slapped his thigh, got up from the stool with a rub, and pointed at the man wearing a gold watch opposite and roared: "You are too bold, how dare you cut corners in the mountain reinforcement project?"

"Director Huang, I didn't, wronged!" The man wearing the gold watch held his head in his hands, his fat chin piled up on his neck, and made an aggrieved expression.

"You don't want to shirk your responsibilities! How many workers are buried?"

"Three or five...... Well, it seems like there are seven or eight ......" men spitting and spitting.

Director Huang suddenly grabbed him by the collar and scolded him sharply: "When is it, to be honest! Let me tell you, the buried workers can't be saved, so be ready to go bankrupt and go to prison." ”

The man was so frightened that his legs went limp, and he knew that he couldn't hide it anymore. He knew better than anyone that this disaster could have been avoided if the mountain had been strengthened according to the regulations. However, in order to save project expenses, coupled with a bit of luck, it led to misfortune.

He swallowed his saliva and said sullenly, "There may be two ......" Halfway through his words, the man suddenly stopped and looked at the door with an unkind gaze.

The rest of the room also looked at each other.

"Uh...... Hello everyone, my surname is Ai, my name is Ai Wei, and I am a reporter for a TV station. Ivy waved at the other side.

The man known as "Director Huang" was the first to speak, with displeasure in his tone, "Oh, the reporter is here so soon. ”

The man wearing a police uniform standing on the side took the initiative to introduce: "Hello comrade reporter, this is Director Huang of the Municipal Emergency Office, and I am the deputy captain of the special police brigade of the Municipal Police Bureau, Wang Jianping. ”

"Director Huang, Captain Wang, hello. My name is Ivy and I'm a reporter for the TV news channel. She glanced at the time on her phone and continued: "We will make continuous follow-up reports on the landslide, and the first live broadcast will start at eight o'clock sharp." Now I need to understand the current situation. ”

"This ......" Director Huang showed a hesitant look, as if he didn't expect the reporter to come so quickly.

Based on the current situation, the accident was not entirely a natural disaster, but was likely to be a safety liability accident. He didn't want to talk too much in front of the media, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble for himself.
