Chapter 340: I Have a Way
"Qi Feng, what's wrong, why did they all move to the north of the town to support?" After everyone got into the car and set off, Ding Hai, who was sitting in the co-pilot's seat, couldn't help but ask the driver.
Originally, the temporary command center was set up in the center of the town, which was convenient for the central command and response, but the company commander said that all the command centers were transferred, which meant that even the temporary command center was moved to the north of the town.
"The search and rescue team in the north of the town found the trapped people in the Zixu Hotel, it seems that there are more than ten or twenty people," the driver said, "There are so many people trapped in that place, and the situation is very complicated, so the company commander moved the command center and personally went to the scene to command." He was worried that there would be a large number of injured people, so he asked you to bring the emergency doctor with him. In case of any accidents, it is better to deal with them in time. ”
"Understood. Ding Hai nodded, and the expression on his face became serious.
Not long after, the vehicle arrived, and several people got out of the car with their own things.
"Report to the company commander, the emergency doctor has arrived. The driver, named Qi Feng, ran to the company commander Xu standing in front of a half-collapsed building with Ding Hai and saluted.
"Okay," Company Commander Xu nodded, "The place has been cleared out, let's stand by first." ”
"Yes!" the two agreed, standing behind the company commander.
There were no injured people at the scene for the time being, so Xiao Yao followed Ding Hai and Qi Feng to stand behind the company commander Xu and looked up at the building in front of him.
It looked like a three- or four-story building, more than half of which had collapsed. Many places above the second floor are only vertical walls, and the lower floor is relatively intact, but you can also see that many walls have cracks.
"Company Commander Xu," a middle-aged man in overalls and a hard hat walked over quickly, "I searched along the perimeter of the hotel once, and basically confirmed that the trapped people were all in the hall on the first floor. There is a commissary in the hall, there is water and food, and the physical condition of the trapped people should be fine, but the falling stones and walls have blocked all the doors and windows on the first floor, and they are all relatively large concrete stones and relatively thick concrete walls, and the current cleaning work is more difficult. The bigger problem is that I think this building is in danger of collapsing further, and we are short on time. ”
"Then can we concentrate our manpower on one point?" Company Commander Xu asked, "Is there a suitable breakthrough? Where is the easiest place to get through?"
"The weakest point now is the door of the guesthouse. "But the place is blocked by a concrete wall about twenty centimeters thick. The hammers and other tools we have now can't be broken in a short period of time. The best thing to do is to use local blasting, but we don't have any explosives at hand, and even if we did, I was worried that the vibration from the explosion would collapse the first floor of the hotel. ”
"Is there any other way?" Lian Commander Xu asked again, "Chen Gong, you are an expert, do you have any suggestions?" or in which direction do you think we should work towards?"
"We have seen all around the hotel, the hotel does not have an underground garage, only the above we have not seen. The middle-aged man known as Chen Gong said, "Now I can only find someone to climb up to the second floor of the hotel from the outside to check on them to see if it is possible to rescue them from above." But now we don't have a ladder at hand, and the first floor is a bit high, so it's not easy to go up. ”
"If you don't have a ladder, you can build a human ladder, and if you can't find a bunch of people to lie on the ground, pile up human flesh mats and put them on for him. Xu Lian said.
"Company Commander Xu, your subordinates are engineers, not special forces," Chen Gong said with a wry smile, "They are good at building bridges and paving roads, and they are not good at climbing the wall empty-handed by taking a human ladder, and the hotel is surrounded by large rocks that cannot be cleaned up. ”
"Company Commander Xu, why don't you let me go up and have a look!" Xiao Yao stood up and said.
"You?" Company Commander Xu saw Xiao Yao, remembering that he was an emergency doctor who came to support, and said with a displeased face, "You are a doctor, your duty is to treat the wounded, what kind of excitement are you making around?"
"But isn't there no wounded to treat me now?" Xiao Yao pointed to the building in front of him, "I'm good at climbing walls! I don't need other people's help, nor do I need a ladder, I can climb it empty-handed." ”
"Company Commander, why don't you let him try," Ding Hai leaned into Company Commander Xu's ear and whispered, "He's not a doctor, no, he's not a doctor by profession, and he has a lot of skills." ”
"Can you really do it?" said Lian Chang Xu, looking at Xiao Yao suspiciously.
"Okay, you'll see. Xiao Yao took off his backpack and said to Lian Chang Xu with a smile, "Please give me a pair of non-slip gloves and a hard hat." ”
"Okay," Company Commander Xu nodded, and shouted to a soldier not far away, "Cai Zhijun!"
"Here!" the soldier immediately ran over, "Company commander!"
"Take off your helmet and gloves and give them to Dr. Xiao. Company Commander Xu signaled.
"Yes!" the soldier took off his helmet and gloves and handed them over.
"Young man, pay attention to safety!" the middle-aged man named Chen Gong instructed.
"Yes. Xiao Yao nodded, took the gloves and hat and put them on, and walked quickly to the building in front of him.
After a little observation, Xiao Yao chose a place with a concrete wall that had fallen down erect and leaned against the outside of the wall on the first floor of the hotel, stretched out his foot and stomped on the wall, and after testing the firmness, he took a few steps back and ran on the pile of rocks.
Xiao Yao had already seen the place where he landed, and the places he stepped on were relatively flat, so he didn't have to worry about his feet, so he ran faster. With this momentum, Xiao Yao jumped up as he approached the wall, and his feet took turns kicking on the falling concrete wall. With the power of pedaling, Xiao Yao rose into the air. At the back moment, Xiao Yao not only exerted all his strength, but also exerted force diagonally upwards to the right, he also flew up diagonally from straight line to right in the second step, and the whole person broke away from the wall in front of him that was more than one floor high, flew to the right, reached out and grabbed the bottom edge of a second-floor balcony next to him, and hung it on it.
"Wow~" Looking at this more thrilling scene, many people watching below exclaimed.
Xiao Yao's hands and waist and abdomen at the same time, the whole body swung up, and he stretched out his right hand and grabbed the railing of the balcony on the second floor, and then his left hand followed and grabbed the railing upwards, and lifted up again, bringing the whole person up, turning over the railing, and going up to the second floor.
"Huh~" Seeing Xiao Yao safely on the second floor, the people watching below breathed a sigh of relief.
"This young man is so skilled!" said the Chen Gong in surprise. He felt that since Xiao Yao could take the initiative to ask for help, it was estimated that he should be able to go up, but he didn't expect him to move so quickly and go up so neatly.
"I heard that he learned martial arts when he was a child, and he didn't need a stand-in for filming scenes back then, and he did everything by himself. The female reporter standing behind Company Commander Xu interjected faintly.
"Isn't he a doctor?" said Lian Commander Xu and Chen Gong, both looking back at the female reporter.
"He's not a doctor, he's an acting star who knows first aid. The female reporter said, "But what he is most famous for now is not acting, but writing and singing." ”
"He also won the top prize in the college entrance examination," Ding Hai added, "so he has a lot of skills." ”
"This..."Lian Commander Xu and Chen Gong were also speechless.
"Acting and singing can still win the top prize in the college entrance examination, and with such good skills, isn't this a monster?" Chen Gong shook his head and sighed.
"People call it a demon!" Ding Hai corrected with a smile.
About ten minutes later, Xiao Yao reappeared on the balcony on the second floor facing Company Commander Xu and them. I saw that as soon as his body turned over, he hung outside the balcony again, and then as soon as his hands were loosened, the whole person fell down.
"Wow~" The people below exclaimed again. Although the height of the two-story building and the balcony is not particularly high, there are rocks underneath, and it is dangerous to jump down like this.
It's just that everyone's exclamations haven't fallen yet, and I saw that Xiao Yao, who was falling, reached out and grabbed the bottom of the balcony, stabilized his figure, and then let go and fell. After slowing down in the middle, it would be much safer to come down again, Xiao Yao also fell to the ground unharmed, got up and ran towards Company Commander Xu and them.
"Why did you come down directly, what's the situation above?" Chen Gong immediately greeted him and asked. From Xiao Yao's running movements, he knew that he was fine, so Chen Gong was most concerned about the situation above.
"I've seen all of the above, it's no fun!" Xiao Yao shook his head and said, "The two stairwells leading from the second floor to the first floor are all blocked by large stones. I also looked at the floors on the second floor, and they were basically in good condition. There was only one place where there was a hole for one person to pass through, and I jumped down to see it, and there was a room below, and the doors and windows were blocked by large concrete stones, and there was no way to clear the passage. ”
"Then you can only make a fuss from the door of the lobby on the first floor of the hotel. Company Commander Xu muttered, "Or I'll transfer the people from the demolition team!"
"No!" Chen Gong waved his hand to stop, "The vibration of the blasting is too strong, I am afraid that it will cause further collapse, and when the whole building collapses directly, we will not save people, but harm people." ”
"What then?" said Company Commander Xu depressedly.
"The best way to do this is to make a local cut, to cut a hole in the wall that allows people to pass through, and it should be able to hold up. Chen Gongdao.
"Local cutting?" Xu Lian said, "There are firefighters on my side, but their cutting machines can only cut metal and wood, not concrete." Now it will take at least a day to temporarily adjust the concrete wall cutter, don't you say that there is a danger of further collapse? Will this building hold up for so long?"
"No, one of the walls is already cracking, and I guess we have two or three hours left at most. Chen Gong shook his head.
"Fire?" Xiao Yao looked around, pointed to a water tank fire truck in the distance and said to Company Commander Xu, "Company Commander Xu, is the water in the water tank truck full?"
"Of course it's full. Company Commander Xu nodded suspiciously.
In order to avoid fires caused by electrical circuit fires caused by earthquakes, the rescue team was also equipped with some fire trucks. However, because the excavation work is mainly done from the ground or buried places in the earthquake, it is mainly equipped with water tankers, lighting vehicles and survey vehicles, and there are few fire trucks equipped with ladders, otherwise Xiao Yao does not need to climb with his bare hands.
"I've got a way to give it a try, and I'm going to ask you to drive the water tanker to the closest place to the hotel gate. Xiao Yao said, turned around and ran to the place next to what seemed to be a construction site.
As soon as Xiao Yao ran, the female reporters and cameramen of CCTV immediately followed.
"I'll see what he can do. Chen Gong explained to Lian Commander Xu, and also pulled his legs and followed.
"Qi Feng, notify the firefighters to drive the water tanker to the door of the hotel. Company Commander Xu thought about it, ordered the driver behind him who brought Xiao Yao and them over, and also took Ding Hai to follow.
