Chapter 765: The Weight of Life
Because the earthquake occurred in the afternoon, the collapsed school suddenly buried many students. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Five days passed, but there was still a class buried inside.
Time passed day by day, and in the torrential rain, people have done their best.
But the sturdy floor slab is definitely not something that can be easily shaken by manpower.
As the cry for help below became quieter and quieter, it touched everyone's hearts.
All of this has become the most worrying thing in the town, and everyone is trying their best to break through the thick floor slabs with hand planers and shovels.
Finally, on the fifth day, they finally opened the floor, which was nothing less than the most exciting news.
"Great, great!"
The mayor, whose eyes were bloodshot, slapped his thigh and immediately rushed out like crazy.
Looking at his posture like this, it was as if his own son was buried in it, but later Yuntian and they learned that this was not the case.
The earthquake took the lives of his wife, his parents, and twin babies in infancy.
But in the midst of this grief, he still led the party members and cadres, the militia, and the masses to rescue on the front line.
"Let's go, let's see!"
Yuntian and they were not ready to rest, and after hearing the news, the three of them immediately rushed out of the tent.
As they hurried towards the ruins in the distance, they saw that the tent was full of wounded people.
The old man and the infant child looked around in horror.
"It's the People's Liberation Army, the People's Liberation Army is coming!"
Just as they were running past a child, they suddenly heard the child behind them shouting excitedly.
These words suddenly made the weight on the shoulders of the three people a little more, and at this special moment, their military uniform is strength.
The masses are looking forward to the arrival of the people's soldiers, and in this moment of crisis, their uniforms are the national flag of the motherland.
Without further ado, the three of them immediately rushed to the ruins surrounded by a group of people.
At this time, the campus is full of rubble, and it has long lost its original appearance.
The only thing that can be identified is the plastic runway, and on that runway, some temporary structures have also been erected.
There weren't enough tents at all, and their homes were ruined, so they had to make up some broken wooden planks to put them together.
But aftershocks are very terrifying, and secondary damage is extremely dangerous, but there is nothing that can be done.
Something dug out of the rubble was kind of their temporary home.
Soon, the three of them came to the crowd, and when they separated the crowd and walked in, they finally saw everything in front of them.
The huge floor was now pierced with a large hole, like the open mouth of a monster lying on the ground.
The deep hole supported by a few logs was very dark, and who would have thought that this was a six-story roof.
The buried class is located on the first floor, which means that to enter, this floor is only the first floor.
For five days and five nights, in the case of insufficient tools, they have been working hard to move forward.
With a pair of meat hands and a shovel and pickaxe, he passed through the barrier of reinforced concrete.
"How's it going?"
The mayor was communicating with the captain in charge of the place at this time.
"The floor slab was penetrated, but because of the aftershock just now, it collapsed a little more, and it will collapse at any time!"
The captain was a militia platoon commander in his thirties, and he said angrily after wiping his tears.
Just as they were running in this direction in the clouds, a slight aftershock made their days of hard work come to naught once again.
The wooden stakes that were used as supports inside were crushed and collapsed, and in desperation, he had no choice but to let the militia inside withdraw.
You can still see the entrance to the cave now, but if the aftershocks come, everything here will disappear again.
When the time comes, let alone save people, I'm afraid that those who go in will also be buried alive.
"Okay, I know, you guys rest first, teach me here!"
Mayor Mare nodded, he had already made a decision.
"Mayor Mare, you're not going to go down, are you?"
Now the aftershocks are coming again, and there is simply a demon cave below, the militia platoon commander said hurriedly.
After all, after five days, it is unknown whether there are still people alive below, and it is too risky to do so.
"Who is a party member, stand up and follow me!"
The mayor turned to the militia standing there.
What is a party member, endure hardships in the front and enjoy in the back, otherwise how can you be worthy of the oath in front of the party flag.
"I am!"
"I'm coming!"
"And me!"
In the team, five or six people immediately walked out, although they were already covered in dust, but they still did not forget their oath.
In times of great trouble, they will not back down, clenching their fists, and they must set an example.
"Okay, come with me!"
The passage was narrow, and it was impossible for so many people to enter, and the mayor of the town gave an order, and turned around to drill down.
But at this moment, his arm was suddenly grabbed, and he turned his head and looked at the person behind him in surprise.
"You are the commander here, you can't have an accident, leave it to us!"
It was Yuntian who made the shot, and after pulling the mayor away, he rushed in without hesitation after throwing away his crutches.
Niu Boyu followed, neither of them wanted to talk nonsense, time was life.
"Don't go, let me go!"
But when Tang Xi was about to rush in, he was pulled by the mayor.
She is a woman, how can she take such a risk when she is in danger, and she is a big man hiding behind her.
"See clearly, I am a soldier, regardless of gender!"
Tang Xi shook off the mayor's hand and pointed to his epaulettes.
She only knew that she was a soldier, and whether it was on the border or at the local level, she would rush to the front.
When they watched Tang Xi disappear into the mouth of the black hole, everyone was stunned.
Especially the sentence that I am a soldier, it shocked everyone's hearts.
A simple sentence explains too many meanings.
In the dark, dusty, cramped spaces, and falling dust prove that this is not solid.
The flashlight became their only light, and they could have squatted and ended up lying on their stomachs.
Crawling forward little by little, it feels like hell at this time, and people can't put it into words.
Overhead, heavy reinforced concrete can collapse at any moment, and the collapse of several tons will soon bury them.
But Yuntian did not hesitate to move forward little by little, holding a flashlight, enduring the great pain of the wound.
Constantly shuttling through the uneven ruins full of glass shards, trying to find the entrance little by little.
Finally, a slight sound caught Yuntian's attention, and he, holding the ground with both hands, searched hard.
"Anyone? Anyone? ”
Five days, a lot of precious time has been missed, and no one knows what is going on inside.
Yun Tian shouted as he crawled inside, but at this moment, his hand touched something.
Yun Tian had seen too many cold corpses, but this time, he was stunned.
It was a young corpse with a red scarf, and at this time, his life had been frozen in that moment.
Looking at the clouds where the young life disappeared, tears suddenly welled up, and this grief came from the shock of the heart.
Originally, they were supposed to sit in a spacious and bright classroom to study, but now, he was lying cold in the ruins.
"Someone! Help me! ”
Just when Yuntian was still grieving, suddenly, a subtle voice came from just now.
This suddenly made Yun Tian overjoyed, and he hurriedly crawled inside, constantly pushing away the obstacles in front of him with his hands.
"There's someone here! Someone! ”
Yuntian was like crazy, and he didn't care about the falling rocks that would collapse at any time above his head.
kept kicking with his hands and feet, and Niu Boyu and Tang Xi behind him also crawled over to help.
One minute, two minutes, three minutes, as the gravel pushed open a gap, Yun Tian finally saw the little pale faces.
The dust made them miserable, and hunger and exhaustion made their eyes glaze.
However, the instinctive willpower to survive made them still work hard to persevere.
"Found it! Got it! ”
As soon as he stretched out his hand, Yun Tian picked up a child from it like a chicken.
At this time, they were hungry and tired, and they were already in a trance and couldn't walk on their own, so Yuntian handed him to Niu Boyu.
Niu Boyu caught the child and passed it to Tang Xi behind him, Tang Xi immediately tried to hold him, supported the ground with his elbows, and crawled out.
Immediately after, the second and third were also pulled out by Yun Tian and Niu Boyu.
Crawling through the cracks of the rubble, Yuntian's heart burned like fire.
There are children down there, and they're still waiting, and they have to get on with their mission before the aftershocks hit.
When Tang Xi appeared at the entrance of the cave with the child who was about to fall unconscious, the crowd waiting there suddenly boiled.
The people, who had already lost much hope, once again ignited their fighting spirit.
"Ambulance crews, come on! Come on! ”
With tears in his eyes, the mayor cried out into the distance, holding the dying child.
"And, there's!"
When Niu Boyu just poked his head out, he was pulled out by the crowd.
Tired, he was covered in scars, but he didn't forget to shout at the people.
Finally, Yuntian, like Niu Boyu, his elbows have been worn out, but the child in his arms has not been injured again.
As the three of them rushed out, everyone began to get excited, whether it was the rescuer or the people who helped clean up, they all burst into tears at this time.
Putting down the three children, the three of them rushed in again, and they were familiar with the road, and once again climbed to the position just now.
Back and forth, the hearts of the people outside are tugging, and the cave that will collapse at any time is even more heart-wrenching.
The god of luck did not favor them all the time, and just when the three of them came out with their three children in their arms, they suddenly shook the mountains for a while.
The entrance was not very strong, but with a shake, the wooden stakes broke one after another, and the heavy prefabricated slabs suddenly overturned.
Seeing the hole collapse, Yun Tian hurriedly turned around and was about to get in, because he knew that there were more than ten children inside.
If you go in, you will definitely die, but there is only one thought in Yuntian's mind, and that is to save people.
At this critical juncture, the mayor quickly grabbed Yun Tian and pinned him to the ground, so as to prevent him from being crushed to death inside after entering.
"Let me in, let me save a few more children!"
Tears welled up in his eyes, looking at the collapsed hole Yuntian shouted desperately.
