Chapter 35: What to Do?
"Xiao Shen, what did the troops say?"
As soon as Ning Yu approached, the leading policeman who was on the phone just now was questioning a policeman in front of him.
"Director, the people over there said they couldn't help it."
The policeman, surnamed Shen, replied with a sad face: "They say that this canyon is too narrow for helicopters to come in."
"What then?"
The director's face was ugly, and he said, "This doesn't work, that doesn't work, can we just watch them fall?"
"There are nearly sixty people in the two cars, and even if our people are on standby below, we can guarantee that we can rescue them all?"
"There are still a lot of injured people in it, what if something happens after a long time?"
"Hurry up and urge the experts to come up with a feasible plan as soon as possible!"
Sighing, the director also knew that it was useless to get angry at a subordinate, and said to the policeman surnamed Shen.
He also knew that the current situation was too critical, and the two cars only relied on each other to interact with each other to get stuck there without falling, but no one knew how long it would last.
Looking at the degree of damage to the shell of the car, I am afraid that it will really fall off in the near future.
There were nearly sixty people in those two cars, and if the cars really fell, with the turbulence of the river below, it was another matter to say whether they could successfully save half of the people, let alone everyone.
The water of the river itself was pale yellow, mixed with a lot of sediment brought by the upper streams, and now it was the first sunny day after the rain, and the river was becoming more and more muddy, and the two cars fell, and he did not dare to think about the scene and the result.
"What about the crane, when will the crane arrive?"
Anxiously, the director grabbed a police officer passing by and asked hurriedly.
"Director, I just called, and they said they were already on the way, but it is estimated that it will take another twenty minutes."
Seeing the look on the director's face, the police officer did not dare to slack off, and immediately replied.
"Twenty minutes? Why is it so slow? The director yelled angrily.
The police didn't dare to answer, the crane itself could not run fast, plus there were a lot of traffic jams on the road, twenty minutes was already trying to come, it was estimated under ideal conditions, if there was a delay on the road, I was afraid that it would not take half an hour, and it was impossible to get here.
Although the director was impatient, he was not an irrational person, and knowing that no one could be blamed for this kind of thing, he gritted his teeth and walked to the side of the police car.
Next to the police car, several middle-aged people who looked like experts were discussing fiercely at the moment.
"Experts, have you discussed any good rescue plans?"
The anxious director forced up his patience, pressed down the mixed emotions in his heart, and asked as calmly as he could.
"The harsh terrain and environment here are too hindering for rescue."
One of the elderly experts sighed and said: "In this case, the best way is to tie up the cars with helicopters to stabilize them from falling, and then our rescuers will hang them down with cables and rescue people one by one."
"But because of the topography here, the helicopter can't work at all, so this rescue plan is not feasible at all."
"As for the rescue personnel to go down directly, this is too difficult, and we don't dare to go down rashly until the two cars can't be fixed."
"Otherwise, it will cause a commotion in the bus or accidentally move somewhere, which will be more dangerous."
The older expert said, lifted his glasses, stretched out a finger, and said: "If you want to complete the rescue, you must do one thing, that is, fix the two cars so that they are not in danger of falling!"
"As long as the car is fixed and does not fall, the rescue becomes much easier, and now we are helpless because all rescue plans must be based on the premise of stabilizing the car."
"The car is not stable, everything else is empty talk, we don't dare at all, and we can't implement the rescue plan."
"It's easy to do."
The director showed a hint of surprise on his face and said, "The crane is already on the way, and it will be here in more than ten minutes." When the time comes, we use a crane to lift the cars to ensure that they do not fall, and then we can carry out the rescue. ”
Seeing the look on the director's face, the older expert smiled bitterly, shook his head, and said, "Director, you're thinking too optimistic."
The director was stunned for a moment, the smile that had just emerged disappeared in an instant, he had just let go of his heart, raised it again, and asked a little nervously: "Elder Wang, what do you say?"
The expert surnamed Wang sighed and replied: "Director, the crane can indeed play the role of fixing the car, but there is no place for the hook of the crane to hook the two cars."
"So, if we want to fix the car, the only way is to send someone down, tie the two cars with a steel rope, and then let the crane lift it."
"But the question is, how do we tie up the car after our people go down? You know, it's very dangerous there, and if there is a slight movement, it is likely that the two cars will fall directly, not to mention that we have to tie up the cars. ”
"If one is not handled well, we can't save people, not to mention, our rescuers will still be in danger. Therefore, this plan is actually very risky. ”
After Expert Wang finished speaking, the director's heart was almost blocked in his throat.
"What then?"
The director was about to cry, nearly sixty lives hung in the balance, and he couldn't afford to take this responsibility.
If this rescue is not successful, he will have to bear a lot of responsibility for so many lives.
"There's no good way, and time doesn't allow us to think of a better way."
Expert Wang sighed and said, "Now we can only wait for the crane to come, we try to send someone down and tie up the car."
"I just took a look, and the shells of the two cars were crushed and damaged more seriously because of their weight, but I am afraid that they will not last long."
"Now all we can do is try, we send people down, although the risk is very high, but there is always a chance, it is better than doing nothing and watching the car fall."
The director sighed with a sad face, and said nothing more.
Ning Yu on the side listened to all the conversations in his ears, and sighed in his heart.
Nearly sixty lives!
As a mechanical student, Ning Yu could easily see how difficult it was to rescue this time.
The slit of this cliff has a certain angle, and the helicopter can't fly in at all, so the difficulty of rescue is increased countless times out of thin air.
Now the two cars are stuck at the bottom of the cliff, and it is shocking to look at, and it is scary to look at, and it is possible to fall at any time.
In particular, the faint crying sound from the bus made everyone feel heavy.
Nearly sixty people, trapped there......
"The crane is coming, the crane is coming!"
A policeman suddenly shouted, whether it was the onlookers or the policemen, they were all shocked and looked up at the side of the road.
Two large cranes are slowly driving over.
"There is salvation, there is salvation!"
The middle-aged man in his formal clothes stood up and muttered, tears streaming from his eyes.
The emotions of the onlookers finally rose a little, after all, seeing that the two cars were in such a dangerous situation, they felt fear at the same time, but also felt related.
Thinking that there are more than 50 people walking in the car, they are in danger all the time, and they don't know when they are going to fall off the cliff, and their lives are not guaranteed, I am afraid that except for some perverted guys, any normal person will feel very heavy.
"Please give way, please give way!"
The crane driver stuck his head out of the window and said anxiously: "Please give way, don't block the road, time is urgent!" Please the drivers move the cars on the side of the road, otherwise we won't be able to pass! ”
The crane is larger, the old road itself is not very spacious, and now there are a lot of cars parked on the side of the road, and it is difficult to drive in, so it is too anxious.
Hearing the crane driver's words, the drivers of the cars on the side of the road consciously started the car, moved as far as possible, and made way for the crane.
It took several minutes for the two cranes to finally arrive at the scene and stop on top of the two vehicles.
Before that, the experts had urgently arranged for the people to go down, and their task was to go down and tie up the two cars, and try not to let the cars shake, and at the same time, to calm the people in the car and stabilize their emotions.
After all, those people are very important, and if they have too many mood swings, they do something drastic in the car, shake the car, and they are likely to fall directly.
This task is very difficult, and no one knows what the situation of the two cars below is and how stable it is.
One is not good, the car falls directly and they will be injured.
The two policemen who received the order had already changed their equipment and had a cable tied around their waists.
"When tying the rope, be careful, take your time, and don't rush."
The director solemnly said to the two rescuers: "Time is not a problem, as long as you can hold on, we can succeed."
"Tell the people below that we can get them out right away, provided they cooperate with us and don't let the car shake."
"Try to stabilize their emotions and don't let them make drastic movements that affect the stability of the car."
"Finally, stay safe!"
"Guaranteed to complete the mission!" The two rescuers replied aloud and solemnly.
"Alright, you guys go down quickly!"
As soon as the director gave the order, the two rescuers immediately began to act.
They cautiously walked along the cliff, and the people on it slowly lowered their ropes, and as they did, they gradually descended towards the two cars.
The crowd of onlookers stopped their discussion, and there was silence all around, everyone leaning against the railing on the side of the road, holding their breath and looking down nervously.
Han Ming also came to Ning Yu's side at some point, and at this time, his eyes widened, and he looked at the two rescuers who were slowly descending without blinking.
In a short time, the two were already close to the car.
At this time, both themselves and the person controlling the rope above became more and more cautious, lest something go wrong.
"Comrade policeman, help us, many of us are injured here!"
As soon as the two rescuers approached, a man near the window saw them, who was stunned at first, and then exclaimed in surprise.
His movements were a little loud, and the car began to shake slightly, making a kazkaz sound.
The two rescuers were startled and said with a pale face: "Don't get excited, don't get excited!"
Hearing someone coming, the crying stopped, and a second later, the ragled sound came out.
"Comrade policeman, help me!"
"The police are coming? Are the police coming? ”
"What, the police are coming? Great, we are saved! Woowoo woo ......"
"Get us out!"
"I can't stand this fear of waiting for death anymore!"
"What are you eating for, it's been so long to come?"
With the commotion of the crowd, the emotions of the people in the car fluctuated violently, and various movements made the car begin to vibrate violently, and it seemed to fall back at any time.
The crowd on the highway let out a burst of exclamations, accompanied by the screams of the woman in fright, and the atmosphere instantly became tense.
The two rescuers were at a loss for what to do, and their faces turned white with fright!
