160. Disaster relief, begins

For those who have never experienced an earthquake, a magnitude 6.5 earthquake is just a number, but it can be compared to the Ya'an earthquake in China with a magnitude of 7, affecting 1.52 million people and covering an area of 12,500 square kilometers.

However, the better thing about this earthquake is that it occurred during the day, and the area affected by the earthquake is mainly plain, which makes it easier to rescue.

Highway 8, which has just been completed, has been significantly affected, and a large number of cracks have appeared in the ground, but fortunately, the gaps are not large, and they can be repaired later.

Driving towards Wanderertown, some of the low-level roads are very problematic, and the sections of the road near the town are twisted and deformed, which shows how terrible the earthquake is.

There were pastures on both sides of the road, and Wang Bo lowered the window to look out, and most of these houses had collapsed, the pasture fence was shattered, the cattle and sheep had escaped, and the road was blocked.

"Fack!" Charlie, who was driving, slapped the steering wheel hard, and he honked the horn, and the cattle and sheep were frightened and confused, but he did not get out of the way.

Wang Bo looked around and shouted, "You still press a fart horn, drive off the road, and go around the grass!" ”

The Marauder's tires were more than a meter high, and the chassis of the car was suspended by airbags, which could be raised a little higher, and Charlie drove off the road, jolting down the potholed grass and driving forward.

The South Island has a relatively small population, with an area of 280,000 square kilometers, but a population of only one million, which means that there are less than four people in one square kilometer of land.

Except for the urban settlements, most of the rest of the country is barren grassland, and occasionally a farm or pasture can be seen, in which case the damage caused by the earthquake is relatively small.

Along the way, Wang Bo and the others saw that the situation was relatively optimistic, but after arriving near Wanderer Town, the situation changed, and the horror of the natural disaster was revealed!

They had been to this town before, and it was here that the car, wallet, and mobile phone were stolen by Xiao Hani and others, and the town was full of green grass and small buildings, like a paradise.

But now, almost all the houses in the town have collapsed, several cars have overturned on the side of the road, some trees are staggered, cattle and sheep are running around, and the terrified cries and cries of the Maori natives are everywhere.

Someone was trying to move the car, trying to open the blocked intersection, Wang Bo opened the car door and jumped out of the car, looking at the ruins in the distance and was dumbfounded: Is this the horror of the earthquake?

The sky was overcast, and it looked like it was going to rain.

The looter was extremely conspicuous, and when he appeared, a policeman ran up and shouted, "Dude, please do me a favor, can you drag this damn car away?" ”

Wang Bo had a police badge on his chest, and he nodded: "No problem, just say to my driver, and I want to ask, is Sheriff Smith from Aocheng here?" ”

Although New Zealand has frequent earthquakes, the quality of disaster relief personnel is really not very good, and there are many policemen who come to the town, at least a dozen or twenty, but no one organizes them, and they are all fighting on their own.

The policeman took Wang Bo through the rubble for a while, and inquired several times before finding the sheriff, who was also helping to dig people from the collapsed building, and was very busy.

Hearing the shout, Sheriff Smith saw Wang Bo, his heavy expression showed a hint of relief, and he asked, "Wang, how is your situation there?" How many people to bring? ”

Wang Bo said: "You know, there are no people and no houses in my town, and it is far away from here, the situation is very optimistic, I brought all the people I can bring, what about Aocheng?" ”

Sheriff Smith sighed and said, "It has been affected, some houses have collapsed, but now there are no casualties. The problem in Wanderer Town is bigger, you see, the surrounding police and fire brigades have been mobilized. ”

He assigned Wang Bo a job, and then Wang realized that the disaster relief scene was not too chaotic, and the police and firefighters did not fight on their own, but each led a few residents to save people.

There were a total of ten Maori assigned to Wang Bo's men, so with the addition of Haney, Charlie, Bowen, Anderson and the Mexican Pretty Boy, he had fifteen men in his hands. Of course, there was also a dog, and the strong man also came.

Upon learning that a house had collapsed in Aojo, he called Eva first.

The signal had been restored, but the phone was delayed, and no one answered the phone after calling several times, and his heart suddenly became anxious.

But he couldn't go to Aocheng to check on the situation, after all, he was now in a heavy responsibility.

Putting away his mobile phone, Wang Bo looked around, he had not received disaster relief training, and he didn't know what to do for a while, so he asked Charlie: "Lao Cha, what is the top priority?" ”

Charlie's brows furrowed together, and his forehead wrinkled deeply: "Are there any personnel statistics?" Who hasn't come out? Which buildings are the key targets? ”

A local Maori cried: "We can't count them, we have to go door-to-door, we don't know where we need help......

It would be better if the earthquake had occurred in other areas, and New Zealanders have built houses with a focus on earthquake resistance. However, the town of Wanderers is a Maori gathering place, and Maori houses are mainly traditional structures, mostly wood and stone structures, and it is very difficult to rescue after the earthquake.

What is even more difficult is that the work is not directed at all, and there is not even an earthquake relief command center, Wang Bo only saw Sheriff Smith and an official here, and he did not see other officials such as the mayor of the town and the inspector!

Wang Bo saw a few people next to him struggling to dig on a collapsed house, so he quickly ran over and asked, "Hey, guys, you guys have people down here, right?" Can I help you? ”

As a result, a big man replied: "We don't know, maybe there are people down there, but whether there is or not, we have to dig it up, if not, it's just a waste of effort, if there is, then our rescue is not very necessary?" ”

Wang Bo was almost choked by these words, although he is not a professional disaster relief worker, he also knows that this kind of method similar to preferring to kill by mistake is not applicable in disaster relief.

The early stage of rescue work is the golden time, and all efforts must be concentrated for effective rescue, they waste not only strength, but also time!

And at this time, time is of the essence!

Charlie also understood this and exclaimed, "Isn't there a damn count?" Isn't there a rescue focus? ”

A few of the Maori who followed them became impatient, and one shouted, "Do you want to help save people?" Do you want to stand like this all the time? ”

The best thing to do now is to find a collapsed house and start digging, and it doesn't matter if the work is necessary.

Looking at the situation in the town, it is obvious that everyone only cares about whether they work or not, and they don't care whether they work or not.

But Wang Bo didn't want to do this, he really wanted to give his useful strength in this desperate situation! (To be continued)).
