Chapter 313: Miserable

After the commander made the mobilization, several airborne troops in the cabin who were preparing to parachute first were already lined up behind Zhang Bo, ready to follow him and jump first.

Li Ying originally wanted to jump down with Zhang Bo and the others. However, considering that he had no experience in skydiving, Zhang Bo asked him and the two paratroopers who were responsible for taking him to jump in the second batch.

As the cabin doors were about to open, a white fog began to fill the cabin. Li Ying learned from a paratrooper that the white fog was liquefied oxygen, which was to increase or decrease the oxygen content in the cabin, so that those paratroopers who were about to jump out of the cabin could take in as much oxygen as possible, so as not to faint due to severe lack of oxygen in the high altitude.

Soon, the indicator light above the cabin door began to flash and signal. When the signal light went out, the cabin door opened with a "bang", and a cold air flow blew in from outside the cabin, blowing several paratroopers standing at the cabin door almost unsteadily.

Zhang Bo stood at the forefront. He glanced outside, then jumped out without hesitation, disappearing from the cabin in an instant.

Several paratroopers jumped down in turn. When jumping to the seventh, the commander in the cabin received an order: the plane had already crossed the gap in the clouds and suspended the parachute jump.

Li Ying saw that the cabin door was about to close, remembering that it would take for the plane to return here for the second time, and he didn't know if he could still jump after a while, he couldn't help but feel anxious, just at the moment when the cabin door was about to close, he suddenly rushed to the door, like a Dapeng bird, opened his arms and jumped out of the cabin, and the person was already in the air.

At this time, Li Ying knew very well: the plane had already flown over the intended landing site at this time. If you open your umbrella bag and jump down like this, you will probably jump to the periphery of North Sichuan City, but you will still not be able to enter the urban area.

So, he decided not to open the parachute for the time being, but to take the way of free fall, looking at the place below the parachute in the air, constantly adjusting the direction of his fall, and trying to get closer to Zhang Bo and them.

Although Li Ying was parachuting for the first time, because he was carrying the free spirit, his mental quality was very good, and he did not feel a little flustered in the air, and even deliberately turned a few somersaults to ease the falling speed and buy a little time for himself to adjust his direction.

Soon, he caught up with Zhang Bo and the seven of them. At a height of about 1000, he pulled the parachute line on his chest, and with a "bang", the umbrella bag behind him was opened, and a strong buoyancy suddenly pulled his rapidly falling body up, and the speed of the fall immediately slowed down. At the same time, he also had a clear view of the earthquake-damaged city below: dust and smoke were billowing everywhere below, almost all the buildings had collapsed, and piles of rubble had buried or cut off all the streets below, looking devastated and shocking.

In the northern part of the city of northern Sichuan, half of the mountain peaks collapsed, burying several streets and buildings on that side. The Xiushui River below the hillside was also blocked by the collapsed mountain and almost cut off. The river that has been blocked upstream has flooded into the city, and many low-lying areas have become water towns.

As he was about to land, Li Ying clearly saw that in the ruins, on the streets, there were corpses lying everywhere. Some of the survivors are looking for their loved ones everywhere: some are desperately pulling through the rubble, some are running and shouting, and some are kneeling beside the bodies of their loved ones and weeping in mourning......

Li Ying and the others landed in a playground in the center of North Sichuan City, which used to be the sports center of North Sichuan City, but now, the running track of this playground has been distorted, the stadium has collapsed, and most of the rubble has piled up to the west of the playground.

On the lawn in the center of the playground, more than a hundred corpses covered with blue plastic sheeting were neatly placed. Two paratroopers accidentally landed right in the middle of the corpses. As they were about to step on the corpses, the two paratroopers suddenly lifted their feet and, at the risk of injury, lay down on their backs in the middle of the corpses.

When Li Ying saw this scene, he was very moved: these paratroopers would rather take risks themselves in order not to trample on those who died, fully demonstrating their good qualities and respect for the victims of the disaster......

After untying the parachute, Zhang Bo took Li Ying and seven other people to go up and uncover a piece of blue plastic sheeting to take a look, and saw that it was a seven or eight-year-old child, so he opened several other pieces of plastic sheeting and checked them one by one, and found that they were all children who looked like elementary school students.

Zhang Bo stood there with a solemn face, looked at the collapsed building opposite the playground, and preliminarily estimated that it should be a primary school, and the children who died should be the students of that elementary school.

When he was about to leave, Zhang Bo took these paratroopers and bowed deeply three times to the corpses of more than 100 children, and then said to Li Ying and others: "Judging from the situation where these primary school students are placed here, the local party and government in northern Sichuan City should have organized a self-rescue team, and it is estimated that search and rescue work is being carried out somewhere. We need to find their person in charge as soon as possible, find out the situation here, and report to the higher authorities as soon as possible. ”

The group of eight then left the playground and began to look for local party and government leaders and self-help teams in the city.

Along the way, I saw broken walls and ruins everywhere. Walking through the streets is like walking in hell on earth: everywhere there are bloody corpses hanging from the collapsed buildings, everywhere there are wounded and sick* tossing and turning*, everywhere there are screams and cries of fathers and mothers......

When the wounded and sick saw Zhang Bo and them wearing camouflage uniforms, as if they had seen a savior, they immediately gathered around them and cried to them about the tragic situation after the earthquake. Some fell to their knees, begging Zhang Bo and them to rescue their families trapped under the rubble.

Zhang Bo and the others only have eight people in total, and their task is to understand the disaster situation and casualties in the city and report to their superiors, and there are no search and rescue tools. Therefore, Zhang Bo could only shake his head helplessly and said, "Fellow villagers, I'm really sorry, we still have a big task to complete." Please rest assured: tens of thousands of our soldiers have gathered outside Beichuan City, and once we get the feedback from us, we will immediately formulate a corresponding plan and rush to the rescue as soon as possible. ”

Li Ying saw that several of the wounded and sick were very seriously injured, so he walked over and sealed their wounds with true qi, and at the same time stopped the bleeding and pain for them.

The other wounded and sick and Zhang Bo and others saw that Li Ying only massaged the wounds of the seriously injured with their palms a few times, and those bleeding wounds immediately stopped the bleeding magically, and looking at the expressions of those seriously wounded, it was obvious that the pain had been greatly reduced. Many people, who had been suffering* all the time, had a relaxed expression on their faces, and they couldn't help but look at them in amazement.

It's not just someone who shouted: "Come here, everyone, there is a living immortal here who can treat everyone." ”

His shout had an immediate and tremendous effect. Many wounded and sick people nearby heard the sound and immediately surrounded Li Ying and others in the middle. The men were all covered in blood, and some of the wounds were festering and inflamed, giving off a foul smell. They all showed their broken arms and legs to Li Ying, waiting with great anticipation for him to treat them.

Li Ying sped up the speed of healing, and kept giving them luck one by one to stop the bleeding and stop the pain. But even so, it still took him nearly two hours to deal with the seriously injured people around him one by one.

Zhang Bo was anxious to find the local party and government leaders, so he asked a wounded man if there were any city leaders organizing cadres and the masses to carry out self-rescue.

The wounded and sick man happened to be a cadre of the municipal party committee office, and when he heard Zhang Bo's question, tears flowed down his eyes and he said: "When the earthquake occurred, all the members of the standing committee of the municipal party committee held a meeting in the conference room on the third floor. I heard Vice Mayor Yan say that all the buildings of the municipal party committee collapsed, and it is estimated that all the standing committee members were killed. At present, the only leader who organizes the cadres and the masses to carry out the search and rescue work is Vice Mayor Yan, who is now organizing people to rescue those high school students who were crushed under the rubble in the North Sichuan Middle School. I have heard that Vice Mayor Yan's family members have all been killed, but he has not returned home, but has been organizing cadres and citizens who have not been injured to rescue people everywhere. If you turn right from this street and cross another intersection, you should find North Sichuan Middle School. ”

Zhang Bo nodded with red eyes, took out a military satellite phone, dialed the telephone number of the leader of the emergency rescue and disaster relief headquarters, and reported in a miserable voice: "Chief, we have entered the urban area of Beichuan! The situation here is even worse than we expected, and it can be described as an idiom: miserable! We have just taken a look down from the air, and the damage rate of buildings in Beichuan City has reached 80 percent Above, half of the Qifeng Mountain in the north of the city has also collapsed, not only burying many streets and buildings in the north district, but also causing the blockage of the Xiushui River, and now the river has overflowed into the city, many corpses are floating in the river, and the urban area can already smell the stench of corpses. Now, the greatest danger is that there is a high probability of a major outbreak here. Moreover, there are still many victims buried under the rubble, waiting for rescue. Therefore, I asked the command to set up an emergency detachment as soon as possible to find ways to enter the city, rescue the survivors under the rubble, and prevent and control the occurrence of the plague. ”

After the report was completed, Zhang Bo took Li Ying and others to rush to North Sichuan Middle School according to the path pointed out by the cadre of the municipal party committee just now.

In front of the collapsed teaching building of North Sichuan Middle School, it was surrounded by cadres and masses who rescued students. When they saw Zhang Bo and others hurrying over in military uniforms, many citizens cried excitedly: "The People's Liberation Army is coming, the People's Liberation Army is coming! Our son has been saved!"

A middle-aged man in ragged clothes with his face covered by dust and ash and only a pair of shining eyes walked over, looked at Zhang Bo and the others, and asked, "This comrade, I am Yan Zhaoxin, deputy mayor of North Sichuan City. Excuse me: Has the People's Liberation Army entered the city?"
