Chapter 46: Turning Point
Xue Ziyin turned her face away and leaned on Lu Jiwen's shoulder.
"It's terrible......" The chaotic crowd seems to have lost their minds, and uses fights to vent the frustration and sense of crisis accumulated after the disaster.
Lu Jiwen took off his coat and draped it on Xue Ziyin's body and hugged her shoulders.
"We ...... Just here to watch? Xue Ziyin grabbed the corner of Lu Jiwen's clothes with a trembling hand.
Lu Jiwen shook his head and pulled her to sit on the lawn together: "It's only like this, it's useless for us to go, we can't stop it." They can only wait for themselves to stop. ”
"Isn't this time when people should help each other?" Xue Ziyin looked at the crowd in the moonlight, and with the sound of crying and scolding, more people joined in.
Some wanted to go up to persuade them to fight, but after being punched by a stranger, they began to fight back.
Some girls cried and shouted to stop fighting, but they were covered by the louder beating and scolding.
At this time, it would be nice if someone stood up to stop them. Xue Ziyin rested her head on Lu Jiwen's shoulder, but who could come forward? It was dark, there were no lights, and there was just a lingering depression.
"It's okay, they'll stop soon." Lu Jiwen raised his hand and looked at his watch at the moonlight.
"Really? How do you know? ”
Lu Jiwen adjusted his relaxed posture and looked at the sky: "Now it has been nearly four hours since the earthquake happened, and the buildings around us have collapsed to varying degrees, plus it is now night, and the rescue will definitely become more difficult." In this case, where do you think the government will go first to save people? ”
"To us?!" Xue Ziyin replied emotionally.
Lu Jiwen smiled, and his slender fingers pointed upwards at the sky, "It's already here." ”
The brawl was interrupted by the sound of propellers near and far, and a white cone-shaped light slowly descended from the sky.
- It's a helicopter!!
"Someone came to save us!"
The crowd cheered to make way for the light, and the helicopter hovered above the lawn, a container-like thing hanging from a rope under the fuselage.
A man in military uniform jumped off the plane with a rope, followed by several servicemen.
The container was dropped onto the ground from a safe height, and the soldiers immediately spread out around the box to maintain order.
The officers and men at the head opened the box, which was filled with relief supplies, including water and compressed biscuits for survival, as well as flashlights and a certain number of tents.
The crowd rushed up and prepared to rush wildly, but fortunately, there were a few soldiers in control, barely maintaining order at the scene.
"Don't worry, everyone! Share! Please line up and don't scramble! ”
Xue Ziyin was in a hurry outside the crowd, she pulled Lu Jiwen's arm and wanted to quickly squeeze into the longer and longer line in the crowd.
Lu Jiwen was not in a hurry at all, but still moved slowly and leisurely: "Oh, don't worry, there are so many people here, just that little broken box will definitely be divided in a while." When the time comes, those who don't grab it will fight again for this. ”
Xue Ziyin was suddenly a little deflated: "Then what should I do?" Don't we ......"
"Shh-" Lu Jiwen put his hand on Xue Ziyin's lips, "Don't panic, follow me." ”
He led Xue Ziyin to the tail of the helicopter, from one edge of the crowd to the other.
"Where are we going?"
"Just follow me."
Lu Jiwen dragged her all the way until he saw a tall man in civilian clothes, Lu Jiwen raised his hand wearing a watch and waved to the man.
After seeing Lu Jiwen and the watch in his hand, the other party immediately ran over in the standard running posture of a soldier.
He stood still in front of Lu Jiwen, saluted, and said in a magnetic voice: "Captain Ming Lei of the Wild Wolf Alliance, report to you." Sorry, we're late. The Commander-in-Chief asks you to return on this flight, we have arranged your accommodation outside the earthquake zone. ”
Minglei's speech was sonorous and powerful, his eyes were sharp, and he was well-trained. He was dressed in black, with short, open hair and clear eyebrows.
Lu Jiwen patted him on the shoulder: "Don't be so serious!" Did the old man arrange anything other than send you to pick me up? ”
"The commander-in-chief has properly settled the rest of the family, and the eldest young master has already sent someone over."
"Hmm...... My brother's side should also be as soon as possible. Lu Jiwen touched his chin, "What about the rescue work here?" Wouldn't you have prepared such a few things? ”
"There are other supplies at the headquarters of the military region, but all the helicopters in service have been dispatched to rescue, and only one here can be delivered back and forth."
"Hmm......" Lu Jiwen pinched the flesh on his chin, thought about it for a moment, and then turned around and hugged Xue Ziyin in front of him.
Ask her, "Do you want to fly a helicopter?" The kind that goes to heaven with a sigh. ”
Xue Ziyin's eyes widened and she looked at him incredulously.
"Do you want to?"
“…… Think... I think so. Xue Ziyin was a little speechless in surprise.
"Little master, the commander-in-chief asked you to ......"
Lu Jiwen raised his hand to stop what Ming Lei wanted to say. Calmly ordered: "All of you who came this time except for you stay here to maintain order at the scene, there are too many people gathered here, and we must ensure that there is no more chaos." I'll go back to the headquarters with you to pick up supplies. Then I'll fly the helicopter to deliver the supplies, and you go to my brother's. ”
Minglei was obviously a little surprised by his decision. But the soldier just has to obey the order, he saluted Lu Jiwen with a standard military salute, and then took him and Xue Ziyin to the helicopter through the crowd.
The man with the horn was still trying to keep order on the scene.
"Don't rush! There are other supplies that have not been distributed! The next batch is coming soon! There's something for everyone! The injured are given the highest priority, please give the first aid kit to the wounded! ”
Lu Jiwen turned around and asked Minglei: "Is there a doctor who can give first aid?" ”
Minglei nodded: "Yes, but the major hospitals are already crowded, and most of the volunteers who can come now are volunteers from other places." ”
"Shall we take the wounded first?" Xue Ziyin asked, looking at the chaotic crowd.
"No, I can't. There are so many wounded that helicopters are not enough. You can only bring the doctor first. He jumped onto the helicopter with agility, and then stretched out his hand to Xue Ziyin: "Come, give me your hand." ”
After pulling Xue Ziyin up, someone also wanted to jump into the helicopter after seeing them. Stopped by the soldiers.
Minglei also jumped up after whispering to the soldiers at the scene, and said to the driver, "Take off." ”
Lu Jiwen took advantage of the preparation time for take-off to squat down and grabbed the shoulders of a soldier: "Tell them that I will come over with new relief supplies and doctors later." ”
Then he let go of the soldier and sat back in his chair. Fly with the helicopter into the black night sky.
