Chapter Seventy-Five: Rescue After the Earthquake

Ran Xixi's legs were a little weak and he could barely stand.

She could only rely on Zhan Xingchuan, her eyes glued to the TV screen, and she longed to make two big holes in it.

"Don't panic yet, let me call a few more times and ask."

Zhan Xingchuan asked her to stand firm, and she had her hands free to make a call.

What he is most concerned about at the moment is whether Qiao Sijie has found Qiao Yanne, if the two brothers are together, it will sound a little easier. If the two of them hadn't met and the people were scattered, it would have been even more difficult to know their whereabouts based on the current situation.

The epicenter of the earthquake is not far from the scenic spot, and it is not yet completely the off-season for tourism, and there are not many tourists, and their placement is enough for the local authorities to have a headache.

Zhan Xingchuan was still optimistic at first, he planned to find them and the group first, let them find a way to get to the airport, and he could send a private plane to pick them up together.

However, after he made a few phone calls in person, he realized that things were definitely not so simple.

The number of people affected by the local disaster, as well as foreign tourists, is relatively staggering, and the local buildings are generally not very earthquake-resistant, basically in a state of collapse after an earthquake. Within a few hours after the earthquake, the power supply and water supply were temporarily suspended, and the communication signal was also cut off.

The time of the earthquake was around 4 a.m., before dawn, and most people were asleep.

"Be sure to notify me as soon as possible, if there is any news, please notify me as soon as possible!"

Ran Xixi vaguely heard that Zhan Xingchuan's tone was very anxious, and he kept making phone calls.

She came back to her senses a little, looked back at him, and asked nervously, "You say, will they be trapped underground?" I watched on TV that search personnel and search and rescue dogs have been dispatched! Oh my God, the earthquake at four o'clock, and the four o'clock in the morning, isn't that when I have nightmares? It seems that the dream is real, and they really all have an accident! ”

Seeing that she was flustered, Zhan Xingchuan hurriedly held Ran Xixi's hand.

It was terrifyingly cold and startled him.

He hurriedly grabbed a blanket from the couch and draped it over her shoulders for her to grasp with her hands.

"Listen to me, natural disasters, many things are difficult to dodge. Even the Earthquake Bureau can't guarantee that it will be able to accurately predict earthquakes every time, you know? So, when you encounter this kind of thing, don't blame others, and don't blame yourself! I've sent someone to investigate, but there are too many people and the situation is chaotic, and the only thing we can do now is to be patient. ”

Zhan Xingchuan hugged Ran Xixi, lest she would be cranky.

"Xingchuan, can you get a ticket, let me go, I'll stay here, I'm so panicked......"

She bit her lip and begged quietly.

He refused: "No." First, there may be aftershocks now, and there is still a danger. Second, I don't allow you to put yourself in a dangerous situation for the sake of others. Third, unless they are rescue workers, no one should enter the disaster area at will, so as not to increase the burden. ”

Ran Xixi lowered his head and muttered, "I understand everything...... However, the Qiao family has just two sons, both of them are there now, and there are babies, two generations of three! In case something happens, how do you let Mrs. Joe live......"

Zhan Xingchuan's face was grim: "In case something happens to you, how will you let me live?" How do you let Rui Rui live? Calm down! ”

She was stunned, and sure enough, she fell silent.

Yes, she is now clamoring to rush over, but she can't do anything, but will add to the chaos.

More importantly, it hurt Zhan Xingchuan's heart.

After a moment of silence, Ran Xixi gently pushed him away and said in a low voice: "I'm going to wash my face and prepare for breakfast." ”

He nodded, and she turned and went to the bathroom.

Ran Xixi washed her face and brushed her teeth, and her spirit was obviously much more uplifted.

Fortunately, the matter of Qiao Sijie going to Qiao Yanne has always been carried out in private, and only a few of them know, so at present, there has been no news from Qiao's side.

If Qiao's people knew that Qiao Da and Qiao Er were likely to have an accident together in the field, the company would have to be in chaos.

For the whole morning, Zhan Xingchuan and Ran Xixi were thinking of a way, and the phone calls kept coming.

Over time, the local power and water supply has gradually been restored, and the mobile phone signal has stabilized a lot.

Happy, but both of them are a little nervous, the golden rescue time is passing minute by minute, if they really have an accident, they have not been rescued in time, then it is equivalent to life is also passing bit by bit.

Looking at the lunch sent by Kong Miaomiao, no one could eat it.

Kong Miaomiao didn't know why at first, but when Zhan Xingchuan finished talking to her, she was obviously stunned.

"It's horrible......"

She picked up the remote control and changed a few more stations, and basically, the news was reported in various news programs.

At this moment, Zhan Xingchuan's mobile phone rang again, and he hurriedly picked it up.

"Are you sure? Can you take a few photos and let me confirm? Ok thank you! ”

There was excitement in his tone.

Putting down the phone, he looked at Ran Xixi and Kong Miaomiao, and said with some excitement: "It is said that a baby was sent to the hospital, and the man who was with him listened to the accent of Zhonghai, let's wait a minute, look at the photos, and see if it's them!" ”

Soon, several photos came in.

Ran Xixi leaned over to take a look, and shouted in a lost voice: "This is William!" It's Qiao Sijie's assistant, you've seen it too! ”

Zhan Xingchuan also nodded: "It turned out to be him." On the phone before, after listening to the description, I thought it was Qiao Sijie, but I didn't expect it to be William. But why is William with the child? What about Qiao Sijie and Qiao Yanne? ”

She hurriedly said: "Okay, I'm sure it's William, then you can call back the phone and see if you can talk to William directly and ask the situation clearly!" ”

Zhan Xingchuan didn't dare to delay the time, and immediately redialed the phone.

Soon, he and William struck up a conversation.

"Mr. Zhan? Is it really you? That's great! ”

William's voice trembled slightly, which showed that no matter how calm a person was usually, he would also panic when he encountered such a terrible natural disaster.

"William, are you with Josie? Can you tell us about the situation on your side? ”

Zhan Xingchuan glanced at Ran Xixi and immediately asked.

"No, we've been in the hospital since the early hours of the morning. Actually, we didn't come to the hospital because of the earthquake injuries. Last night, the baby had a fever, and it was hard for Esprit to convince Yan Ne to agree to give the child to me and let me take the child to the hospital. The two of them originally planned to leave for Yubeng this morning, but they didn't expect it...... I can't get in touch with them yet, and the hospital won't let us leave at will...... Mr. Zhan, can you contact them, or take the baby back to Zhonghai first? ”

Obviously, William is also very stressed because he has a child.

"Okay, as long as the child's condition can get on the plane, I will send someone to pick you up immediately. The problem is, Qiao Sijie and Qiao Yan are ......"

Zhan Xingchuan hesitated.

Ran Xixi whispered on the side: "Let the child come back first, he is too young, in case of an outbreak in the disaster area, it will be bad!" ”

When he heard this, he gritted his teeth and asked William and the child to stay in the hospital, and he immediately sent someone over.

Putting down the phone, the two of them sighed in unison, with joy and sorrow in their hearts.

Happily, the baby has been found, and there is no major problem. He is the youngest and weakest, and now he can be safe, which is a blessing in misfortune.

Worryingly, Qiao Sijie and Qiao Yanne are still missing, and their lives and deaths are unknown.

Zhan Xingchuan quickly arranged manpower to pick up William and Baobao and other people, and arranged for them to return to Zhonghai by special plane. In order to prevent accidents, he also specially arranged professional doctors and nurses to accompany him, and the baby was handed over to the doctor as soon as he boarded the plane.

At about eight o'clock in the evening, William and the baby were finally sent to the hospital where Zhan Xingchuan was.

The two of them did a simple physical examination and confirmed that everything was fine, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Mr. Zhan, is there any news from Sijie?"

William asked worriedly.

Seeing Zhan Xingchuan shaking his head, he said anxiously: "If he is alone, I really don't worry at all, he will definitely be fine." However, I can't be sure, his condition is very bad, nervous, as if a ghost has fallen on his body. If he was still like that during the earthquake, I was afraid that Esprit would ...... to save him."

William shook his head, his eyes reddened.

Although he looked tired, Ran Xixi couldn't help but ask for details and asked him to tell the story of the past two days.

"When we found Yan Ne, he was actually hesitant to take the baby to Yuban. As everyone knows, there are no roads on that side, only on foot or by mule. The baby was too small, so he had to hold the baby and ride a mule into it. However, Yan Ne's original intention was to walk on foot and give the child to others to hold, and he did not agree to die. Therefore, after Sijie found him, he kept persuading him to let the baby stay in the scenic spot first, and the two of them went to Yuban together. To put it mildly, he finally agreed. As a result, just after dinner, the baby began to have a low-grade fever and vomited milk, and there was no way out, so they had to let me take him to the city hospital first...... That's it, and I haven't been able to contact them......"

William sat on the couch, his fingers crossed, his face depressed.

"Don't worry, maybe they just can't reach us for a while."

Zhan Xingchuan could only comfort him like this.

Ran Xixi asked someone to bring dinner, although everyone didn't have much appetite, but they had to barely eat a little.

They were eating when William's cell phone rang.

He gobbled up the food in his mouth, quickly took out his mobile phone from his coat pocket, looked at the screen, and suddenly his eyes lit up with excitement, and he shouted: "It's the number over there!" ”

After speaking, he hurriedly picked it up: "Hey, hey!" ”

A familiar voice sounded: "William, are you alright?" ”

William shouted excitedly, "Esprit! You okay! Where are you? Have you ever been injured? ”
