Chapter 274: The Great Tribulation is Merciless

In summer, the night in Xiangsha City is actually very noisy, and there is no location.

There is no noise or laughter from barbecue food stalls, no sidewalks or motorized lanes on either side of the road, just a mess of fields and green belt trees, but cicadas chirping wildly from the trees along the roadside.

Occasionally, private cars pass by this road, but this is much less traffic than usual.

Perhaps for some people, such road conditions are already very quiet, and they can achieve a rare trace of tranquility in the hustle and bustle of the city.

Even the stars in the sky are staying quietly, not daring to disturb this tranquility.

Although Wang Pigeon was alone in the ambulance, he was not in the mood to enjoy any quiet. The chirping of cicadas and insects outside the window was buried by the roar coming from the engine compartment, and there was no pleasant white noise to be heard.

He was already distraught.

In the previous process of getting out of the car, the king pigeon has experienced all kinds of major events, and even a group of deaths and injuries, but this time the incident seems to be even bigger than the previous one.

Because Tie Kuo's expression was more serious, the atmosphere in the entire convoy and the emergency department was also more tense.

The road was dark, and the street lights were not very bright, but fortunately there were few cars on the road, and the ambulance where the iron was roughly located in front turned on its high beams to illuminate the road ahead. However, according to the lights, the king pigeon can see that the road conditions in front are generally good, and he can rest assured that he can boldly go forward and fly wildly.

But Wang Ge found that the more he drove forward, the more humid the ground became, and it was raining in the sky outside the urban area of Xiangsha City.

The ground has been wet for a long time, and there is even standing water on the side of the road, and Wang Ge judged that this rain must not have fallen with Xiangsha City, but only in this area.

He had read the weather forecast before, and he had complained to his colleagues about the good life of Xiangsha City, except for the urban area, several other counties and townships directly under the central government

The farther you go west, the heavier the rain becomes.

After all, he is already far away from the urban area of Xiangsha City. He vaguely felt that in the near future, the scene he was about to face was probably related to this heavy rain.

"Slow down ahead, we're going to turn right, we're almost there. The sound of iron rang out from the intercom's headphones.

"Whatever you see later, keep your composure!"

"Got it. "The king pigeon clicked the brakes a few times in advance to prevent the turn from turning too fast and overturning.

"I'm afraid we've entered Xiangning County, right?" asked Wang Ge.

The iron on the other end of the walkie-talkie probably didn't speak, which was considered a tacit acquiescence.

When you turn right at the intersection, the original asphalt road instantly becomes a cement pavement, and it looks like a convenient road repaired by the township government.

The cement pavement is poorly drained, the pavement is more slippery, and there is a lot of mud and water mixture on the pavement, and there seems to have been a landslide on the small hill next to it, and there have been traces of cleaning on the pavement.

But Wang Ge found that there were a lot of wheel prints on the road, and it looked like there should be a lot of vehicles passing here.

The two ambulances drove for another five minutes, and Wang Ge found that there were many tents in front of him, police cars, ambulances, and military trucks from the army were parked nearby, and five fire trucks came and parked in the open space next to the road, and the searchlight on the top shone not far ahead.

What made Wang Ge arrive and wonder was that there were many small bulldozers, excavators and other construction vehicles parked at the scene, but they were not working but just turned on the lights.

It was pouring rain outside, and the king pigeon parked the ambulance on the side of the road, turned off the fire, and couldn't see the outside clearly through the rain-stained glass. He put on the prepared jacket in the car, then rushed out of the car and took out the cart. When he came to the front again, he found that even the land under his feet had been temporarily cleared, and a generator car was parked not far from his left, providing continuous power supply for the lighting and tents on the site.

Although it was raining heavily, the shouting could still be heard very clearly.

The king pigeon took a few steps to the side of the tent with his wheelbarrow, trying to find his companions, but when he looked up and looked in the direction of the searchlight, he was surprised to close his mouth.

Directly in front of him was a large dirt slope, on which many uniformed firefighters, armed police officers and medical workers stepped on it, digging the ruins of the breakthrough with tools or with their bare hands.

The mud on the slope is also mixed with the remains of many buildings, beams, tiles, cement pillars, and even some household appliances. Of course, the trunks and branches are also indispensable.

Among the medical staff, there were many people holding umbrellas and wearing black suits. They are not rescuers, they are death.

Further back, behind this small dirt slope is a hill, facing the side of the king pigeon, there is obviously a fault on the surface of the mountain, there are no trees, and the soil is new, and now the rescuers on the scene have installed a protective net to prevent landslides, and the whole is spread on the ground.

Wang Ge instantly understood that due to the fact that it was greater than for several consecutive days, a serious landslide occurred on this mountain belonging to the jurisdiction of Xiangning County, Xiangsha City, and a village at the foot of the mountain was completely buried!

At the scene, in addition to the staff, there were also surviving villagers who were also spontaneously organizing rescue activities, including men, women, the elderly, and children, all with unsightly expressions on their faces.

Probably because they were out, maybe because they were in the wilderness rather than at home, they were lucky enough to escape.

Now they don't have time to grieve, they don't have time to shout, they don't have time to cry, they have only one thought, dig their relatives and friends out from underneath!

Because there is hope!

Wang Ge swallowed his saliva, and he didn't need to count how many deaths there were at the scene, he knew that there must have been a lot of deaths in this accident.

"Wang Ge, why are you here!Don't be stunned, come and help!" Liu Ya was moving from one tent to another, his glasses were stained with rain, his whole body was already wet, he had taken off his white coat, and only wore a jacket with a red cross on his sleeve.

His eyes were very good, and he immediately saw the king pigeon who was stunned as he looked at the scene of the accident.

Wang Ge pushed the cart and hurriedly left, and followed Liu Ya to the temporary first-aid tent.

"Why are you here?" asked the king.

Liu Ya should have been on duty at twelve o'clock in the evening, and he came to the scene of the accident at nine o'clock, and he arrived earlier than the king pigeon.

"How can I not come in this situation?" Liu Ya took out a stethoscope from his pocket, due to the diagnosis and treatment of a buried patient, the promise token that Gao Yuting gave him had been stained with a lot of muddy water. "Now that there are not enough people, and the support is still behind, you have to help me here, and the car will be put aside for the time being. The last patient was black, and this one should still be saved. ”

The so-called "black" means that there is no rescue value. At the scene of such a mass death and injury, the emergency doctors will classify the patients according to their status, red represents life-threatening and must be rescued immediately, yellow is not immediately life-threatening, but life-threatening needs surgery, green is a minor injury, and black represents death or cannot be rescued.

Wang Ge hurriedly threw the cart aside, took a piece of gauze, and wiped the muddy water on Liu Ya's stethoscope. "When did this happen?"

Liu Ya wiped a handful of water droplets from his glasses, pressed the stethoscope on the patient's chest, pinched the patient's carotid artery, and signaled Wang Ge not to speak for the time being. "Take his blood pressure. ”

Wang Ge picked up the blood pressure monitor and also put on a stethoscope to measure the patient's blood pressure. These simple checks were all learned by him during the training.

After more than ten seconds, Liu Ya raised his head and looked at the king pigeon.

Wang Ge immediately understood, raised his head, and opened the button switch of the airbag in his hand, quickly releasing the air in the strap of the blood pressure monitor's arm, making a stabbing sound, "Blood pressure is fine, eighty, one hundred and one millimeters of mercury." ”

"The heartbeat and breathing are normal, the pupil reflex to light is normal, it is estimated that he is in a coma due to lack of oxygen, and he will be able to come back later. Liu Ya examined the patient's chest and abdomen, and the trauma on his limbs, and found that his right leg was red and swollen, and even a little deformed. He turned his head and shouted at Zhou Hua, an intern.

"Xiao Zhou, yellow, this person is handed over to you. Suspected leg fracture, give oxygen, buried for a long time, it rains so heavily, the body temperature is a little low, the others should be fine, replenish some energy, maintain body temperature, pay attention to observation, wait for someone to wake up before talking about the leg!. ”

"Got it, Mr. Liu, you're busy!"

Although Zhou Hua is a high-achieving student, he completed his studies faster than Liu Ya, but he was very humble, respected his predecessors, and hurriedly responded, this young high-achieving student interned in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Yaxiang, and also participated in the rotation of various departments for a few months. Unexpectedly, at the end of the rotation, this guy still chose the emergency department, and he was also very strong, and he was full of guts.

"I received a call about an hour ago, and I came right away. Liu Ya saw that there was no patient for the time being, so he wiped a handful of the rain on his head and wiped himself.

"What is the situation, how serious is it?" asked the king pigeon.

"The landslide was about three and a half hours ago. There are only about 50 households in this small village, with a population of about 150 people, and although there are survivors, all of them have lost power and there is no way to call the police. The survivors ran to the nearby highway to stop the car, but for half a day the car would not stop to help. In this village, a young man came home from work on a motorcycle, only to find that the entire village had been covered with mud from the landslide. Liu Ya pointed to a young man sitting in the corner of the tent.

The young man had long hair, his hair was disheveled, he was covered in rain, the helmet of his motorcycle was thrown on the ground, his face was full of decadence, his eyes were open, and his face could not tell whether it was rain or sweat.

After a busy day, I braved the heavy rain to return to the village, only to find that my village was completely covered with mud and stones, and I couldn't even find where my home was, and the life and death of my relatives and friends were unknown.

The king pigeon sighed, God knows what the hell this young man had been through.

"What a fucking fuck. ”

"A rough estimate, there are still more than 90 people buried underneath, although there is still a lot of golden time left for rescue, but ......" Liu Ya shook his head, the situation is not optimistic.

It rains, the temperature plummets, the mud mixes with the rain, and the air is barely accessible. Even if there are survivors under the dirt, there is a small space, and as long as it lasts for a long time, suffocation and low temperature can kill people at any time.

If the body is accompanied by internal and external injuries and excessive blood loss, then the death will be faster.

"And according to the village committee, most of the young people are working outside, and the village is left with the elderly, women and children, as well as pregnant women, who are less resistant to harsh conditions and have a lower chance of survival. Liu Ya continued.

Wang Ge realized that although the small bulldozers and excavators outside had arrived, they did not participate in the rescue because there were very likely to be people alive under the soil, and the use of large equipment in the case of unknown life and death could only increase the chance of casualties among the trapped people below.

At this stage, it is necessary to carry out rescue through manual excavation by rescuers, equipment and experience. This is slow, but at least there is hope.

Once 72 hours have passed, rescuers will use large equipment to dig people out after confirming that there is no hope of survival for those who have not been rescued under the dirt and stones.

To put it mildly, it is to dig up the body.

Still, it is not possible to exhum all the remains. In this kind of landslide accident, there will always be people who are missing without knowing their fate or death, although everyone knows that the chances of survival are not high, but if the body is not found, it means that there is hope.

"Doctor, I just dug one out, and I'm still panting!" Several firefighters in camouflage uniforms walked in, they didn't have raincoats or jackets, they could only brave the heavy rain to participate in the rescue, the shovels were rotten a few times, and they almost used their hands to dig the soil, and their bodies were full of mud and water mixture, and they were still dripping water.

"Come, put people on it!" Liu Ya hurriedly ended the conversation with Wang Ge, and carefully carried the wounded to the hospital bed with the armed police officers and soldiers.

"I've handed it over to you! I finally dug it up, and I must save it! I'm still pregnant with a child!" Several firefighters just glanced at the wounded, then turned around and went out of the tent again to participate in the rescue.

The wounded looked less than 30 years old, with a big belly, and was a pregnant woman.

At this time, she was also covered in mud, and her face was not very clear. When Wang Ge wiped his hands and was about to help, he found that he didn't know when his hands were stained with blood.

He looked at his hand, and thought back to the action he had made when he carried the pregnant woman ten seconds ago, as if it had supported her head.

Liu Ya also saw the blood stains on Wang Ge's hands, and secretly screamed in his heart!

"You clean her mouth and nose!" he lowered his head and began to examine the back of the wounded's head.
