Chapter 20: The county seat of beauty

The eyes of everyone in the car were focused on Platoon Commander Li, the leader of the team, and now there were several choices, either to return the same way, or get out of the car to dig and move stones to clear the road, or abandon the car and move forward on foot.

Everyone was waiting for the leader's decision, there was silence in the car, and Ye Zhenzhen suddenly proposed loudly: "Platoon Commander Li, I can climb the mountain with a weight, carry forty pounds of equipment, and walk twenty miles, no problem." ”

Ye Zhenzhen looked at the map just now, and now the place where everyone is stuck is still more than 20 miles away from Xiuli County, and the epidemic prevention and disinfection drugs carried in the car are only about 40 catties.

Immediately after Ye Zhenzhen's words, the little soldiers in the carriage scrambled to say, "Platoon commander, we can carry more weight, and we can carry the life-saving materials on the car to Xiuli County, platoon commander, give an order." ”

Looking at the firm faces of the soldiers in the car, as well as the compassionate eyes of the doctors and nurses, Platoon Leader Li shouted, "Okay, listen to my orders, the whole team gets off the car and gathers, carries disaster relief materials, and enters Xiuli County on foot." ”

The sky was drizzling with a drizzle, cold and damp, and the mountain road leading to Xiuli County was muddy and steep, with mountains that could roll down at any time on one side and steep cliffs on the other, and if you stumbled and slipped down, you would be drowned in the rushing flood below the cliffs.

There were more than 30 people in the rescue team, only three girls, Ye Zhenzhen, an epidemic prevention worker, and two young female nurses, each wearing a raincoat and carrying relief materials on their backs.

On Ye Zhenzhen's back is a disinfectant used to disinfect the drinking water and environment in the disaster area, as well as two sets of protective clothing, a set of emergency rescue kits, all of which are added together, which is just the value estimated by Ye Zhenzhen, weighing forty pounds.

The two little nurses were carrying first aid bandages, anti-inflammatory drugs, and antibiotics...... Everything was wrapped into a large backpack and carried on the shoulder, which also weighed twenty or thirty pounds.

Other relief supplies, such as life detectors, hydraulic tongs, jacks, mobile power banks, and a set of Inmarsat terminal equipment...... These materials fell on the PLA soldiers, and each of them had to carry more than fifty catties.

On the muddy mountain road of more than 20 miles, the rescue team walked for nearly four hours, and on the way, they also rescued two nearby villagers who were trapped on the mountain road, and did not arrive at Xiuli County until two o'clock in the afternoon.

Xiuli County is surrounded by mountains on three sides, one side is close to the river valley, and the rescue team stands on the mountainside next to the entrance of the highway in the east of Xiuli County, looking down on the entire county.

The once prosperous and beautiful county town has been changed beyond recognition, with buildings collapsing into ruins, and a huge bottomless crack crossing the county.

The cracks in the ground start from the canyon in the south, through the beautiful county seat, and extend to the foothills of the mountains in the north.

Around the crack in the center of the county, half of the collapsed buildings hung on the edge of the crack, and half fell into the deep valley of the crack, and there was no trace of it.

The huge crack formed by the earthquake is more than ten meters wide at the widest point, and three or four meters at the narrow place, and in the slightly narrow place, a simple bridge was temporarily built with the iron frame of the crane tower, and there were rescuers in yellow raincoats shuttling back and forth on the bridge.

High up away from the cracks in the ground, rows of army-green tents were set up in an open area, and there was a crowd of people around the tents, and it was obvious that the rescued people were concentrated around the tents.

Platoon Commander Li of the Second Rescue Team gave an order, "Meet with the First Rescue Team and start participating in the rescue!"

The soldiers began the rescue operation in an orderly manner, while Ye Zhenzhen carried disinfectants and tools to the tent area.

Outside the army-green tent area, two men in white protective suits are carrying a square disinfectant tank on their backs, spraying disinfectant around them.

The pungent smell of disinfectant water made Ye Zhenzhen's nose itch a little, and the closer she got to it, the bigger the smell.

"Ahh

Ye Zhenzhen couldn't help but sneeze.

The sound of sneezing caught the attention of a man who was spraying disinfectant not far away, and the man looked up.

Although the man was wrapped in protective clothing and wearing goggles and masks, Ye Zhenzhen still recognized the man at a glance, the familiar figure, familiar eyebrows and eyes, it was Senior Nan who was worried all the way.

Nan Zhiqiao also saw Ye Zhenzhen at a glance, his eyes flashed with surprise, and then his brows furrowed, put away the disinfectant sprinkler in his hand, walked up to Ye Zhenzhen, and asked, "Why are you here?"

Ye Zhenzhen carried more than forty pounds of things on her back, walked for more than four hours on the mountain road, originally tired, after seeing Nan Zhiqiao, suddenly felt full of energy, and replied with a smile, "I came with the second batch of rescue teams from the center, arrived at the Municipal Center for Disease Control and Prevention in the early morning, and set off from the city in the morning, encountered a mudslide outside Xiuli County, we walked twenty miles to the mountain road to get here, Senior Nan, what am I doing now?

Ye Zhenzhen tried to change the topic as much as possible.

Nan Zhiqiao ignored Ye Zhenzhen's question, and asked rhetorically, "Why didn't you call me before you came?" Also, even you are not in the laboratory, what about the work of our laboratory?"

Ye Zhenzhen hurriedly explained, "I have arranged the work in the laboratory, and this is not the first time we have traveled together, in case something happens, the students in the experimental group can handle it." As for calling in advance to tell you that I was coming to the disaster area......"

Ye Zhenzhen paused slightly, and thought to herself, I originally planned to hide it from you, if I told you in advance, can you agree to me coming?

Ye Zhenzhen's brain turned and she made an excuse, "The signal in the disaster area is not good, and I can't get through to your mobile phone, so I didn't say anything." ”

It is a fact that the signal in the disaster area is not good, and two days after the earthquake, the entire city was cut off from the outside world, and it was not until the recent launch of maritime satellite communication that the situation improved.

Sure enough, Nan Zhiqiao stopped asking, everyone was in front of him, and it was useless to ask about the past.

Nan Zhiqiao looked at the woman in front of him covered in mud, in the cold winter, but her face was full of sweat, and there was a heavy package on her back, more than 20 miles of mountain roads, the woman in front of her was like this, and she smiled in the face of her own questioning......

Nan Zhiqiao unwrapped the package on Ye Zhenzhen's back, carried it into his hand, and asked, "Have you had lunch?"

"Well, I've eaten on the way, I can participate in the rescue operation right now, Senior Nan, you can assign me a task." Ye Zhenzhen's eyes were full of anticipation.

Nan Zhiqiao pointed to the southwest corner of the tent area, "That is the tent where medical staff and epidemic prevention personnel live, and on the other side is the warehouse of medical supplies and epidemic prevention drugs and equipment, you go and tidy up, change into protective clothing, take disinfection equipment, and come to me again." ”

Assigned to the task, Vera began to execute it neatly.

Back in the tent, change into a raincoat, put on a white protective suit, bring goggles, masks, gloves, put on a disinfectant kit, pick up a sprinkler, and a complete set of equipment for epidemic prevention personnel was sorted out, which took less than ten minutes.

Equipped neatly, Ye Zhenzhen trotted in front of Nan Zhiqiao.
