Chapter Eighty-Three: The Remains
It has been 34 hours since the accident. The heavy rain did not stop for a moment, and the soldiers searched and rescued all night, and continued to fight, and they were exhausted. Fortunately, the road has been repaired, and some cranes and excavators, as well as professional rescue equipment such as wall radar have been sent. Fighters of the naval medical corps were also sent.
The fighters quickly joined the rescue, but soon the news came that there were too many wounded, medical supplies were in short supply, and even blood bags were far from enough. And other relief supplies have not yet been delivered here.
After communicating with the captain of the medical team, Lu Qian pulled off his gloves and called Jiang Eryi while rolling up his sleeves: "Organize soldiers to donate blood." ”
Jiang Eryi grabbed her bloody arm and called her full name in a hurry: "Lu Qian, you can't donate blood anymore!" ”
"Take care of yourself."
Jiang Eryi said solemnly: "You have to take care of yourself, don't think that your body is iron!" What should I do if you have three long and two short? ”
"Fuck off!" Lu Qian withdrew his arm and said in a cold voice, "Organize the soldiers to donate blood immediately, this is an order!" ”
Jiang Eryi gritted his teeth, his cheeks bulged into a line, and finally he had to turn around and organize the soldiers to donate blood. He is a soldier, and the military order is like a mountain!
Lu Qian was the first to draw blood, rolled down his sleeves and turned to Luo Yongxu and said, "Squadron leader, the soldiers have been fighting for so long without a drop of water, and there is no food supply......
Before Lu Qian's words fell, he suddenly saw a familiar teacher limping away, followed by seven or eight survivors of the earthquake, who were carrying steamed buns and hot water, walking in this direction. Some have lost loved ones, and some are still buried under the rubble. But at this point, everyone was twisted into a rope.
They enthusiastically stuffed food into the hands of the soldiers, but the army has military rules, and the rule of soldiers is not to take a stitch from the masses. Lu Qian and Luo Yongxu exchanged glances, and finally gave the order: "Everyone rest in place for five minutes and eat something." ”
Originally, there was only a short five-minute break, but the soldiers forced it into two minutes or one minute, and the steamed buns choked on the hot water, and they didn't even taste anything.
Jiang Eryi stuffed two steamed buns in Lu Qian's hand, didn't have time to say a word, and ran away with the life detector again.
There was an intermittent sound from the command station from the satellite communication machine, and Lu Qian only heard clearly one 'magnitude 6 aftershocks may occur', she drank two sips of hot water and stuffed half a steamed bun. led the search and rescue dog into the rescue work again.
The search and rescue dog she was holding in her hand was named 'Blackback', and it was the treasure of the squadron. Blackback suddenly ran forward, then stopped in front of a crumbling school building.
"Anyone?" Lu Qian shouted, and immediately yelled in the direction of Jiang Eryi, "Snake eye detector bring it!" ”
Jiang Eryi quickly ran over and handed the things to Lu Qian.
Blackback kept digging the same pit, and Lu Qian pulled Blackback away and put the probe head in from the rubble. Soon Jiang Eryi received the feedback and waved at the large army that was searching in the distance in surprise: "Crane, crane!" ”
The crane came and moved the large stone that was pressed against the rubble. The safety officer quickly isolated the crowd at the scene, and the goose rushed over with hydraulic shears and a small air cushion to inquire about the situation.
Jiang Eryi said: "The head is buried very deeply. What about water? ”
The first common sense of earthquake rescue is to send water first when life is found. Because muscle necrosis begins after the limb is squeezed for more than 24 hours. Once the pressure is removed, necrotic muscles release large amounts of electrolytes such as myoglobin, protein, and potassium. Quickly causes heart and kidney failure and death. So liquids are crucial.
The goose handed over a bottle of water from his waist, and then bent down to carry the stones with the warriors. Lu Qian cut through the rubble with his bare hands, and only then did he see the criss-crossing steel bars below. The steel bars completely blocked the survival passage, but through the gap between the steel bars, Lu Qian finally saw a black head.
"Kid, can you hear me?! Wake up, kid! ”
"Save ...... Save me ......" a faint voice came from under the rubble, as far away as if from another world.
The sound of this weak mosquito and fly ignited the blood in the hearts of the soldiers.
Still alive, still alive!!
"Kid, hold on a little longer, and we'll get you out. Definitely! Lu Qian kept talking to the little girl who was being pressed, telling her to stay awake as much as possible.
Jiang Eryi asked the on-site surveyor: "Can you lift the floor slab above?" ”
The surveyor shook his head: "I'm afraid not." ”
Jiang Eryi asked again: "What about using a small air cushion to prop up a space?" ”
The surveyor still shook his head: "The key is that once the second collapse during the lifting process, the steel bar will be pierced, and the person will not be able to save it." ”
Luo Yongxu listened, frowned, and immediately gave an order: "Let the army commando team go up and find a way to remove the steel bars first." ”
As soon as Luo Yongxu's words fell, he was about to inform the army members when the land suddenly shook again. The pebbles on the ground fluttered like millet grains in a dry pot, and there was a rumbling sound with it.
Aftershock!!
Luo Yongxu immediately blew the whistle: "Evacuate!" Quick, the whole team evacuates the scene!! ”
It was too late, and the strong aftershocks had already affected the crumbling building above Lu Qian's head.
With a loud bang, the ruins of the broken wall cracked in the aftershocks, and the huge stones suddenly fell towards Lu Qian.
At the moment of the last moment, Jiang Eryi flew up, and when everyone was not paying attention, he desperately pushed Lu Qian away......
Lu Qian fell out two meters heavily, and at the moment when she landed in response, there was a violent muffled sound of a sky collapse behind her.
At that moment, everything that happened in front of me seemed to become a slow motion in a movie. Lu Qian's ears were booming, knowing what he had heard, but he acted like he hadn't heard anything.
Even in the torrential rain, the collapsed building raised a cloud of gray sand.
The whistles, screams, and collapses in my ears grew farther and farther away. It wasn't until Lu Qian opened his eyes again that the hustle and bustle around him gradually became clear from far to near......
"No...... No, no, no......" Lu Qian turned around and saw that the ruins had long been razed to the ground.
"Jiang Eryi! Jiang Eryi!! Lu Qian crawled over and stretched out his hand to pick up the pile of rubble, "Jiang Eryi!" ”
"Lu Team ......" The goose came up and hugged Lu Qian and held her behind her.
Lu Qian kept pushing the prefabricated board, pushing desperately: "Jiang Eryi is not down there, right?" What about Jiang Eryi? Where is he? ”
Lu Qian's eyes were full of red blood, as if he was oozing blood. The goose cried and grabbed Lu Qian's wrist, the white gloves she was wearing had been completely stained red with blood, but she didn't seem to feel the slightest pain, she was desperately shaving.
"Where's Jiang Eryi?" She spread out on the ground like a puddle of soft mud, and looked helplessly at the goose, who was the most honest and never lied.
The goose cried, and tears fell on Lu Qian's arm one by one.
Lu Qian shook his head, and turned around to push the prefabricated board again: "Jiang Eryi!" You come out ......"
Luo Yongxu's two eyebrows wrinkled together, and he choked and dragged Lu Qian up: "Lu Qian, be sober, you are a soldier!" ”
You are a soldier!!
These four words suddenly hit Lu Qian's acupuncture points, she stood stiffly in the rain, and the heavy rain washed down from the top of her head, smashing down her eyelashes drop by drop. Smash into the dirt and seep into the ruins......
She bit her lip and oozed blood......
Everyone here has lost some loved ones to a greater or lesser extent. The place was devastated, but they looked at her with hopeful eyes. She lost her dearest comrade-in-arms, but she is still a soldier. She wants to fulfill her accusation and rescue Jiang Eryi.
I don't know how long it took, she finally moved slowly, pulled up her sleeves and wiped her face, and said to the goose: "Save people!" ”
After more than nine hours of rescue, the soldiers finally dug the little girl out of the ground. The medical staff gave her an infusion as soon as possible, although the child's breathing was still very weak, but because of the second collapse, it created a rescue space for her, and when she was carried on a stretcher, the child's consciousness was still quite clear. With the only hand she could move, she grabbed Lu Qian's arm.
The child's whispering voice was as small as the sound of a butterfly flapping its wings, but Lu Qian still could distinguish it from the shape of her mouth, and the two words she desperately wanted to say were - thank you.
was carried out with the child, as well as Jiang Eryi's body......
The fighters lined up in a long line, and stretchers passed through the hands of the fighters. finally stopped in front of Lu Qian.
It was already dark, and only two moon lamps were left to illuminate the ruins. The figures of the warriors were cast on the stretcher, blocking his dirty face. Lu Qian took the flashlight, and a cold light shone on his face.
Stucco and blood smeared to his face, obscuring his original features.
He loves beautiful people so much......
Lu Qian held his face and wiped the dust off his face with his thumb over and over again. The heavy rain kept washing down, and the streams of rain finally returned the handsome face to Jiang Eryi.
Lu Qian looked at this face, as if he had seen the lively recruit egg again. Dressed in bright combat uniforms, stand on the wide playground. The words he said reproduced in Lu Qian's mind like a movie clip.
- I joined the fire brigade, of course, to be a hero!
- Coach Lu, in this assessment, I am the first again, you praise me!
- I will be demobilized next month.
- I don't want to be your warrior anymore! Because I like you!
- I will cherish you for the rest of my life.
- You are my bottom line.
——I will live up to the trust of the motherland, my mission, and the cultivation of the leadership!
- What should I do if you have three long and two short?
yes, what should I do?
Lu Qian knelt on the ground with a plop, silently screaming Jiang Eryi's name, she grabbed her chest fiercely, and the green tendons on her neck were raised. She looked up at the sky, and the biting rain fell on her face, drop after drop......
His neck was red, and his nails sank into the tender flesh of his palm.
Chen Qi took the white cloth from the doctor's hand, trembled his hands, and covered Jiang Eryi's face.
Luo Yongxu scooped up Lu Qian, who was soft into a puddle of mud, from the ground.
"Jiang Eryi, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry...... I'm sorry......" She kept repeating the three words, even if the sound was drowned out in the rain at the end.
Lu Qian finally trembled his hands, took off his military hat, and put it on his chest.
At this moment, all the soldiers were infected, and they took off their military hats to pay tribute to Jiang Eryi.
For a while, everything was silent, only the light of the flashlight was still flickering, like the light of life that would never be extinguished.
Half a minute later, Lu Qian wiped his face, wiped away the blood and tears on his face, and took the stretcher from another fighter. Big Goose, Shi Shi and Chen Qi also came over, lifted the stretcher with Lu Qian, and walked into the distance.
She was alone, like a clown, who finished the whole mime, and when the tears flowed out, the pain was all buried in her heart.
Jiang Eryi's departure took away all of Lu Qian's humanity, and she never shed a single tear this night.
Many soldiers couldn't bear it anymore, and began to take turns to rest under the arrangement of the captain. But Lu Qian seemed to be injected with chicken blood, constantly searching and rescuing, constantly searching and rescuing, she couldn't wait to open every piece of rubble to see, and even more eager to dig three feet into the ground.
Chen Qi and Luo Yongxu took turns to persuade her, and like a robot, she pressed the switch that was completely isolated from the outside world. I can't listen to anything, I just know how to bury my head in saving people.
Chen Qi said worriedly: "If you go on like this, you will definitely not be able to bear it." ”
Luo Yongxu took a deep breath: "Let her go, look at her, and drag people when the aftershocks occur." It's okay if you can't bear it, but you can really rest. ”
Chen Qi pulled Lu Qian: "Team Lu, can you rest for a while?" ”
Lu Qian stretched out a finger, but his gaze was extremely empty: "Save one more, you let me save another ......"
It seems that as long as you save one more person, you can get one more salvation and make up for Jiang Eryi's death.
Chen Qi couldn't hold her, he could only watch her staggering forward.
Forty hours of sleeplessness, and this kind of high-power exercise all the time, even an iron man can't stand it, let alone Lu Qian. She took a few steps, her feet were booyan, her knees went limp, and she fell forward.
Chen Qi stepped forward, but before he could catch her, he saw her and fell into the arms of another man.
The man was wearing a dark blue Air Force pilot uniform, and squatted on the ground with her in his arms: "Little ......"
In confusion, Lu Qian raised his head. The glimmer of the morning is like a glimpse of light, illuminating this strange world. Through a thin curtain of rain, she finally saw the familiar face......
The tears that had been held all night came out of my eyes with a bang......
