Chapter 8: Rescue at Sea
On Saturday, the hour hand was at eleven o'clock in the afternoon, and the forest had not yet appeared. Pei Yi'an then called him, but the phone was still turned off.
"Nothing will happen, right?" Pei Yi'an muttered worriedly, and immediately denied it, "Maybe it's just a temporary task, understand, understand." ”
Three hours ago, in the Starfire rescue team, the piercing alarm was sounded.
"Dongheng Wharf in J City, a luxury cruise ship bound for Japan in J City, encountered a typhoon in the Bohai Sea, and there were many cruise tourists and the situation was critical. City J requested reinforcements from our city. Set off immediately to rescue people in distress. ”
didn't have time to think about it, Lin Ge quickly changed his pair and ran to the tarmac. Other rescue team members boarded the helicopter one after another. Lin Ge calmly started the helicopter and rushed to the scene.
"Is there a specific number of people on the cruise ship?" After the helicopter stabilized, Lin Ge asked Ding Heng, the co-pilot.
"334 people. ”
Lin Ge wrinkled his eyebrows slightly, obviously not expecting that there would be so many people.
"It's winter vacation, and the whole family travels a lot. The helicopter in J City departed immediately after the incident and has safely transported back more than 100 tourists. We're in the past, and we're just in time to wrap it up. Ding Heng reported the current situation in detail.
Looking down from the cabin, the waves rolled. Heavy rain is coming, and the weather at 9 a.m., like 6 p.m., has extremely low visibility. Lin Ge drove very carefully, but he had to speed up, and the rescue was a race against time, and one second earlier might save one more person.
"X-02 has arrived and can be rescued. Lin Ge is skilled in controlling helicopters, relying on accurate GPS positioning, and has already found a cruise ship in distress.
"X-02 began to rescue. "Commands came from the headphones.
"The rescuers are ready to hang, everyone be careful and pay attention to safety. Lin Ge instructed the rescuers as usual and opened the hatch.
The rescuers completed the hanging in order and neatly.
The pouring rain slammed heavily on the helicopter from all directions, like mellow marbles, making a loud sound. The rain, accompanied by strong winds, poured into the cabin, and the helicopter was blown to shake a little.
"Team Lin, get ready to go back to the cabin. “
"Roger. “
Lin Ge tried to stabilize the helicopter as much as possible so that rescuers and rescued people could come up smoothly. The rescue team members moved quickly, and within 15 minutes, all 25 people had been rescued on the plane.
"X-02, now return. Closing the hatch, Lin Ge raised the helicopter and turned around and headed for the J City Rescue Airport.
On the way back, a bright light flashed in the sky, and then, Lin Ge could hear a loud bang through the headphones.
"Cheng Yu, it's thundering, what's the situation on your side?" Lin Ge called Cheng Yu, who went out on a mission together, the lower it fell, the bigger it became, and the typhoon did not mean to weaken, the thunderstorm hit, and the bad weather was quite unfavorable to the entire rescue process, and Lin Ge was also nervous.
"Rest assured, it's wrapping up. Cheng Yu's tone was still in the headphones.
"Little Wu, where are you?"
"Captain rest assured, everything is going well. ”
"Xu Shinan. ”
"Report, normal. ”
"Jin Yu. ”
"Report, no problem. ”
"Everyone, the weather is getting worse and worse now, speed up the rescue process and shorten the rescue time. ”
"Yes!"
Lin Ge conveyed the order, and he also knew in his heart that shortening the time might not be able to save everyone, but he was the captain, and in such weather conditions, he must be responsible for the people who have been rescued and his teammates!
At the same time, there was also a message from the rescue airport: "According to the weather forecast, the thunderstorm will continue to increase, and all rescue helicopters will return immediately." ”
"X-02, on the way back. ”
"X-03 completed its mission and immediately returned home. ”
"X-04 completed its mission and immediately returned home. ”
"X-05 completed its mission and immediately returned home. ”
"X-06 completed its mission and immediately returned home. ”
Hearing the news of his teammates in the headphones, Lin Ge's hanging heart relaxed.
"Don't go back, please, I beg you, save my son!"
There was a noise in the headphones.
"What's the situation?"
"Reported, something happened to X-06, a couple was arguing that their son didn't come up. ”
"How can a child be left behind?" Lin Ge questioned.
Hearing Lin Ge's question, Jin Yu immediately reacted, tilted his head and whispered to the rescuers: "Shouldn't the child be rescued as soon as possible?"
The elderly, the young, the sick, the disabled, and the pregnant are the most needy groups in social morality, and whether this is a written regulation or no strict meaning positioning, it has been gradually formed in China over the past thousand years. Therefore, in the rescue process, this will also be used as a criterion. And, the child is also called hope.
The rescuer replied in a whisper: "When we went down, we didn't say there were children." After all the trapped people came up, Azhi repeatedly confirmed in the cabin that there was indeed no one, so we returned to the cabin. “
Jin Yu was silent, it was obvious that the parents had chosen themselves in the face of danger. She has no right to accuse others of being right or wrong, her duty is only to save people, "Team Lin, I apply to hang again." “
"Jin Yu, I order you to return immediately!" Lin Ge's voice was very resolute.
"Captain, how is he still a child, I want to save him!" Jin Yu's ear was the pleading of the parents: "Please, save him, he is only five years old." How scared he is now!" She couldn't bear it.
"The helicopter had to be close to the surface of the sea when it was hoisted. With the current weather, can you save the child and keep everyone on board safe?"
Jin Yu fell silent again, she couldn't do it! There was lightning and thunder outside the cabin, not to mention hanging at close range, if she didn't fly the helicopter away. The whole plane will be in danger again. If she insists on hanging, she is making a bet with the whole plane, and if she wins, everyone is happy. If you lose the bet, everyone will be drowned in this deep sea.
Jin Yu held back his crying, "X-06, return now." ”
"Why did you return to the ship, return my son, return my son!" the parents who had lost their son cried and pounced on them, banging heavily on the partition. "Drive back and save my son. You murderer, drive back!"
The hoarse shouts of the husband and wife filled the entire cabin, and also filled Jin Yu's eardrums, sharp pain. She told herself over and over again, "Don't listen, don't listen." ”
The plane returned safely to the rescue airport in J City, where medical staff were already on standby.
Jin Yu took off his flight helmet and got off the plane, his feet just stepped on the ground, and a momentum rushed towards her, almost not standing firmly. "Are you okay?" fortunately, Lin Ge was held up in time.
Jin Yu shook his head and stood up.
The couple tried to rush up, but were pulled by the rescue team. "You killed my son, you paid for my son's life! You are afraid that you will die somewhere, so you give up saving my son. You are so greedy for life and afraid of death, what kind of rescue team member are you, can you save people!"
"It's obviously your ......" Jin Yu trembled with anger, obviously they were afraid of death and left the child.
"Jin Yu, return to the team. Lin Ge stood in front of her and interrupted her, "I'm the leader of the rescue team, you can tell me if you have any opinions." “
The tears that had been held back all the way overflowed her eyes, Jin Yu looked at the back standing in front of her, as if she had found a sense of security, silently wiped away her tears, and left obediently.
After dealing with the affairs of the husband and wife, two hours passed.
"Why are you hiding here alone?" Lin Ge searched around before finding Jin Yu in a corner.
"Captain. Jin Yu raised his head, called him, and lowered his head again.
"Don't want to know the result?"
"Whatever the outcome, I didn't save any of the children. "A small life ends forever in the cold waters.
"But you saved twenty people on the plane, as well as your teammates. ”
Jin Yu didn't speak.
"What is the principle of rescue?" Lin Ge asked.
"People-oriented, safety first. "Codes to keep in mind.
"You followed the principles with the people on the plane, so you did nothing wrong. If it were me, I would make the same decision as you. ”
"Am I really right?" Jin Yu raised his head and asked uncertainly.
"You have to trust every decision you make. The couple called the police, and you'll need to make a note with the police later. Lin Ge handed her a bottle of water, "Let's go after taking a sip of water." ”
Jin Yu took it, "At this time, you should give me a bottle of wine to dispel my sorrows." ”
"Wine is free. It's over in a while, and you'll have to fly the helicopter back to Beijing. ”
"Thank you, Team Lin. ”
"It's my duty as a captain, gone. ”
Jin Yu's eyes watched Lin Ge leave without blinking. During the time she was alone, she kept asking herself whether it was right or wrong for her to choose to return. And the man said to her with certainty: "You're not wrong!"
These three words are an affirmation of her. Jin Yu let out a long sigh, and his floating heart finally settled.
When the phone rang, Pei Yi'an woke up from the sofa. saw the caller ID on the phone and quickly picked it up.
"I'm sorry, I took an urgent task early this morning and forgot to tell you. Before Pei Yi'an could speak, Lin Ge took the lead in apologizing on the other end of the phone.
After worrying for a whole day, he finally heard his voice, Pei Yi'an's heart was put back in his stomach, but he was still faintly worried, "It's okay, are you okay?"
"I've been on the phone with you, what can I do?"
If Lin Ge was angry, she didn't care about him, and she disappeared all day without leaving any news.
Pei Yi'an didn't want to speak, and Lin Ge's low laughter came from the other end of the phone. She didn't tell jokes, and Pei Yi'an asked angrily, "What are you laughing at?"
It's just that he felt that Pei Yi'an was caring about him, and he was happy in his heart, so he laughed, "I'm sorry for worrying you." Lin Ge once again expressed his apologies and made up for his own words just now.
was poked in the center, Pei Yi'an quickly replied to him with a stolen bell: "Who is worried about you!"
Lin Ge's laughter came into her ears again, and she didn't know if she was deliberately making fun of her, she didn't want to talk to him anymore, "If it's okay, I'll hang up." ”
Lin Ge: "Something. ”
Pei Yi'an: "You have something to say." ”
Lin Ge: "Can I invite you to experience our simulation cabin next Saturday?"
Pei Yi'an: "I'm not available next week. "The pigeons were released twice, even if the amusement park made up that time. But this time, she didn't want to say yes so easily.
Lin Ge: "Next week?"
Pei Yi'an: "No. ”
Lin Ge: "It's okay, I'll wait for you until I have time." ”
