Chapter 0260: Arriving at the scene
Huaxia News: On October 12, at 7:31 a.m., 7 occurred in Meishan City, Central and Southern Province. A magnitude 2 earthquake with an epicenter depth of 10 kilometers, the urban area of 50 kilometers was destroyed, and the surrounding areas of the 200 kilometers area were severely damaged.
The direct economic losses caused by the earthquake are initially estimated to be more than 500 billion yuan, and the casualties are still being counted.
Lin Ze's group saw the news when they were changing planes, and the time was already 5:30 p.m.
"I didn't expect this earthquake to be so severe, this should be the strictest in the past 50 years. Tang Xing sighed.
"I don't know if it's the strictest in fifty years, but it's definitely the strictest since I was born, and we have to hurry. Lin Ze glanced at Li Cangyan, and the sentence behind him could be regarded as giving Li Cangyan a hope.
When Li Cangyan saw the news, he fell into endless silence.
Such a thing happened to his own loved ones, but he could not do anything about it.
The greater the impact of the earthquake, the less hope there is for his loved ones to survive.
But he didn't despair, because he still had Mr. Lin.
Mr. Lin may not be omnipotent, but Li Cangyan just believes that he will be able to bring hope to himself.
The news of the earthquake has been heard a lot, and this is the first time that the official news has been reported in detail about the earthquake.
Previous reports have only described the intensity of the earthquake, not the impact of the earthquake.
Various rescue teams have arrived in Meishan City, and Lin Ze's group is the second wave.
After the transfer, the four members of Lin Ze's group shared the same helicopter.
From the military airport thirty kilometers away, go to Meishan city.
It was already 5:30 p.m., and the remnant sun was like blood.
Helicopters flew over the outskirts of the city, and Zero looked down from the plane.
The earthquake had a devastating impact on the region, and the roads had been cracked and twisted by the earthquake.
Houses in the suburbs are scattered all over the place.
Zero looked forward and saw Meishan City after the earthquake.
It was a city completely destroyed by an earthquake, and Zero looked at it like a battlefield ravaged by shells.
This is the only way to see a city that has been indiscriminately attacked by bombers.
Although the helicopter made a lot of noise, Lin Ze could still hear the wailing below.
Lin Ze looked down and saw that there was already a rescue team below, otherwise he might give up his plan to go straight to Li Cangyan's house.
All life is equal in the presence of the doctor.
But in front of a teacher, one's own students are the most important.
The helicopter continued to move forward, and Lin Ze saw a river, which was the water system that crossed Meishan City, the Zijiang River.
The earthquake changed the course of the river, and the water of the Zijiang River has overflowed into the city.
Rescue efforts are being carried out to dredge the Zijiang River.
This is a major event on the way to the rescue, if the water of the Zijiang River is not discharged out of the city, the trapped victims will be flooded before they can be rescued.
Lin Ze was not familiar with Meishan, but Li Cangyan could see that the water flow of the Zijiang River at this moment was not as large as before.
Several dams upstream are already filling water to facilitate earthquake relief.
Fortunately, the upstream dam was not affected by the earthquake if the dam was destroyed in the course of the earthquake.
The damage is incalculable.
The national wetlands in Huanghua County have also been affected this time.
Yan Hua, who lives in Heyi Village, found that the water level in the wetland lake today is lower than in the past.
Yan Hua was originally studying at university in Yenching, but this time because of his grandfather's birthday, he asked for leave to go home to pay tribute to his grandfather.
He wanted to go to the wetland lake to catch a gold-tailed carp for his grandfather, so he took his tools and set off on a fishing boat.
In the lake, he clearly noticed that the water level was lower today than before.
As a college student, he is naturally very well-informed, and he knew early in the morning that there was an earthquake in Meishan City today.
And he also felt the earthquake in Huanghua County.
He did not know that the dam had started to impound water upstream, which had also affected the wetland lake.
However, the depth of the water level did not have a great effect on him, and the goal of Yan Hua was to catch a golden-tailed carp for his grandfather's birthday.
This is not a difficult thing for him, relying on the mountains to eat the mountains and relying on the water to eat the water, he grew up by the wetland lake since he was a child, and catching a fish is like a child playing at home.
Goldtail carp is not so easy to catch, but it depends on who shoots it and where.
Knowing Yan Hua's fishing skills and his water nature, his family was relieved to let him go fishing in the wetland lake alone.
Yan Hua drove the fishing boat to the middle of the wetland lake, where he remembered that he had caught gold-tailed carp, so he tried his luck here again.
After he expertly lowered the net, he heard a strange noise.
A whirlpool formed on the surface of the water in front of him, and he knew that he was familiar with the nature of the water, and he began to panic.
He knew what it meant to encounter a whirlpool by boat.
The water on the surface of the lake flowed towards that whirlpool, as if someone had made a hole in the bottom of the lake, and the wetland lake began to leak.
Yan Hua starts a fishing boat to escape from the whirlpool.
Although this is only an unknown vortex, Yan Hua can clearly perceive that this place is dangerous.
The roar of machinery mingled with the sound of swirling water, and was heard in the distance.
But the wetland lake is too wide for anyone to hear.
The whirlpool grows bigger and bigger, and so does the attraction generated.
Yan Hua found that he could no longer escape from the whirlpool with the power of the fishing boat.
So he started calling for help.
At the moment when the distress signal was issued, his fishing boat began to sink, and Yan Hua was also caught in the whirlpool, and his life and death were uncertain.
In Linze, Meishan City, I arrived at my destination.
Looking down from above the destination, there is no reference point, and you can only use the guò satellite positioning, accurate to 50 meters.
These last fifty meters need to be found by themselves.
The helicopter hovered over the destination, and Lin Ze's group got off the helicopter, everyone carrying their luggage.
"Li Cangyan, you walk in front, see where is your home. Lin Ze looked around and didn't know where to start.
It was impossible for him to dig a life-saving passage everywhere.
Every city has a life channel, and when planning and construction, multiple emergency command posts will be set up.
But look at 7 this time. In a magnitude 2 earthquake, the emergency command post should have also been destroyed.
According to the plan made before coming, Tang Xing and Zero went to find a nearby square, which would be an emergency command post and **********.
Li Cangyan and Lin Ze were looking for the building of Li Cangyan's house at the destination, with the aim of rescuing his relatives as soon as possible.
Li Cangyan held the GPS navigator given to him by Lin Ze in his hand, looking for the location of his home.
There is no signal on the mobile phone here, but the GPS navigator provided by Long Yuan can still be used.
He looked at the navigator in his hand and searched.
"Here it is. ”
Li Cangyan's hand pointed to a pile of ruins.
