Chapter 23: Crossing the Cable
"No...... Captain Jiang was a little hesitant, and it took a long time to say the real reason, "If Mr. Nan knows that I put you in danger, he will definitely settle accounts with me." ”
"Mention him again, believe it or not, I'll settle accounts with you now. Nan Zhiqiao spoke with a threat.
Captain Jiang was still a little hesitant, Nan Zhiqiao saw this, his tone softened, and said: "Lao Jiang, don't think about it, it's important to save people now, as long as I don't say it, he won't know, even if he knows in the future, he also knows my temper, and I can't blame you." ”
"Alright, then let's go. ”
Captain Jiang seemed to get rid of his worries, and took the rescue team, as well as Zhu Wu, Nan Zhiqiao, and Ye Zhenzhen, a total of thirteen people, carrying the necessary relief materials and medicines, and set off lightly.
Zhu Wu, a high school student, was in a hurry to go home again, so he naturally walked in the front, and Captain Jiang followed Zhu Wu, asking questions from time to time.
Ye Zhenzhen and Nan Zhiqiao walked behind Captain Jiang, and then there were nine young men from the rescue team.
Under the guidance of Zhu Wu, the rescue team set off along the muddy mountain road, like Zhujiazhuang in the mountains.
Looking at the well-trained rescue team members, Ye Zhenzhen was very curious, how could this kind of civilian rescue team listen to Senior Nan's orders?
Ye Zhenzhen couldn't help but be curious, leaned over to Nan Zhiqiao's side, and asked in a low voice: "Senior Nan, this rescue team doesn't look like a PLA officer, how do you know them?"
"They are civilian rescue agencies, and that Captain Jiang met him during the last Tangchuan earthquake. ”
So that's the case, there are many civilian rescue teams, but there are very few professional rescue agencies, because this requires a lot of money to maintain operation.
Ye Zhenzhen asked, "Captain Jiang seems to know Uncle Nan too." ”
"Well, I know, his rescue team receives donations from the Nanmu Group every year. ”
"Oh, Captain Jiang's rescue team belongs to the Nanmu Group?"
"No, Captain Jiang's rescue team is independent, but it is only funded by the Nanmu Group and other external funds, and the Nanmu Group has its own rescue team, and it is estimated that the earthquake in the city is also coming. ”
Ye Zhenzhen was a little puzzled, since Nanmu Group has its own rescue team, why does Senior Nan still need a civilian rescue team, just use his own one? Is it because of the tense relationship with his father? Thinking about it, there is also such a possibility.
Nan Zhiqiao seemed to see the doubts in Ye Zhenzhen's heart, and explained: "When the Tangchuan earthquake occurred, I once saved Captain Jiang, so the relationship between the two of us was relatively good. Jiangchuan rescue team', at the beginning I will provide some financial assistance to the Jiangchuan rescue team every year, and later, the scale of the rescue team is getting bigger and bigger, and there are more and more rescue operations to undertake, this kind of rescue is public welfare, the rescue team only does not go out, it takes a lot of funds to operate normally, Captain Jiang will also raise donations from some enterprises in the society, and by chance find Nanmu Group, Nanmu Group has become the largest sponsor of Jiangchuan rescue team. ”
"Oh, I see, most of the civilian rescue teams are difficult to operate because of lack of funds, and the Jiangchuan rescue team is lucky, with the support of you and the Nanmu Group. ”
"This is also a blessing for society and the victims. ”
On the rugged mountain road between the high mountains and mountains, Ye Zhenzhen and Nan Zhiqiao were talking about the "Jiangchuan Rescue Team" behind the leader Captain Jiang, and suddenly, Zhu Wu, who was leading the way in front, stopped, and then everyone in the rescue team stopped.
A huge east-west canyon stretched in front of the team.
The Grand Canyon is a V-shaped valley with greater depth than width, with steep sloping rock walls on both sides, and the rushing water at the valley floor lapping against the cliffs on both sides.
"How do you get there? The valley slope is too steep, and the water below is deep and the current is rapid, so we can't go from below, so should we fly over from above?"
"It's a pity that the rescue team didn't bring a glider this time. ”
"Go down to the bottom of the valley with a cable and see if you can wade across the river. ”
"No, the current is too fast, and even if we can cross the river, how can we climb to the other side? ”
"Why don't you find a place around with a gentle slope?"
……
The people in the rescue team were discussing ways to pass through the canyon, and Zhu Wu, a high school student, walked silently to the edge of the canyon alone, and pulled out the ropeway behind the grass with his hands, which turned out to be a hidden zipline bridge.
Zhu Wu shouted: "Everyone come here, we usually use this zipline bridge to go to school." ”
The zipline bridge that spans both sides of the canyon is a long, arm-thick wire rope with pulleys suspended from it and two slings underneath the pulleys.
This kind of zipline bridge used to transport people, Ye Zhenzhen is still the first time to see in reality, only seen in tourism documentary TV programs before, in Yunnan minority areas, there are many mountains and valleys, and it is inconvenient to build high-cost bridges in many places, so it is replaced by a simple zipline bridge, and there is a certain danger in crossing this kind of zipline bridge, and it is possible to fall down and break your bones if you are not careful.
Ye Zhenzhen stepped forward and touched the iron cable of the zip bridge, the rusty iron cable was hard and cold, "You usually use this to go home?"
Zhu Wu, a high school student standing on the side, nodded seriously, "Well, the zipline bridge is very convenient. ”
"Is there no other way?"
"Yes, there is a bridge to the west, which is open to cars, but it takes more than 60 miles to detour, and we usually use this zipline bridge, which is very safe. Zhu Wu said encouragingly.
Captain Jiang, the leader of the rescue team, also stepped forward and looked at the iron cable extending from his feet to the opposite bank, the high iron cable gently swayed with the mountain wind, and the translucent raindrops slid through the iron cable and fell down the river.
"Flying across the ferrata is cool!"
Captain Jiang pulled Zhu Wu over and began to assign tasks, "This zipline bridge can cross two people at a time, Zhu Wu and I will go first, and you will follow." ”
Captain Jiang and Zhu Wu, each sitting on a sling, slid along the zipline bridge to the opposite bank, and soon the two landed safely.
Followed by Nan Zhi Qiao and Ye Zhenzhen, the wind blew raindrops on their faces, and then glanced at the abyss torrent under their feet, Zhen Zhen was a little dizzy, Nan Zhi Qiao pulled the zipline with one hand, and wrapped Zhen Zhen's waist with the other, "Don't be afraid!"
"Not scared, just a little nervous. ”
The two arrived safely on the other side, and as soon as they landed, the maritime satellite mobile phone on Nan Zhiqiao's body suddenly rang.
Answering the phone, there was a faint voice of urgency and urgency, and Nan Zhiqiao's face was becoming more and more worried.
As soon as Nan Zhiqiao hung up the phone, Ye Zhenzhen asked, "Senior Nan, what happened?"
"I just received the news that the National Earthquake Administration has issued an earthquake warning, and in the next one to two days, there will be a strong earthquake near the city. ”
"Will the aftershocks be serious?" Captain Jiang, who had reached the other side of the bank before, also asked in surprise.
"Well, the official statement of the National Earthquake Administration is that the subduction of the Indian Ocean plate to the Eurasian plate caused the rapid uplift of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and led to an earthquake, that is, the earthquake three days ago, but the plateau material flows slowly to the east, squeezing eastward along the Xiulishan tectonic belt on the eastern edge of the plateau, encountering the tenacious resistance of the rigid block under the Lechuan, resulting in the long-term accumulation of tectonic stress energy, which will eventually be suddenly released in the beautiful Lechuan area. ”
