Chapter 303: Time is Life
At first, Gu Ji didn't quite understand why the game would set the time limit for the mission so long.
After all, the distance from Lahore Airport to the epicenter is only more than 60 kilometers, and even if it is all mountain roads, it can be reached in one hour.
It turned out to be a trap here.
Even darker suspicions, could this aftershock be "deliberately" made by the game to make it more difficult for him?
"Thankfully, no one was seriously injured in this aftershock landslide."
Director Yan Qingwen looked at the Pakistani firefighters who were being bandaged by the nurses of the medical team, breathed a sigh of relief, and then took out the phone, but before he could unlock it, he saw the words "no signal" in the upper right corner of the screen, "Han detachment, does your mobile phone have a signal?" ”
"No, this aftershock should have destroyed the Pakistani signal base station, and we have now completely lost contact with the outside world."
Han Yue turned his head to look around, as if he was doing on-site analysis.
Gu Ji squinted, knowing that this was his only chance.
In order to complete task one as soon as possible, he must "induce" the rescue team to rush to the earthquake area as soon as possible, so he hurriedly ran over and shouted:
"Han detachment! Han detachment! I heard Director Yan say in the car that the characteristic of this earthquake is that there are a lot of aftershocks, and I think we should collect the backpacks, materials, and equipment in the bus as soon as possible, and leave here on foot as soon as possible, otherwise we will definitely be washed to the bottom of the mountain once the next aftershock happens! ”
"Oh?"
When Han Yue heard the movement, he turned around and looked, but he didn't expect it to be this black boy again, but he showed a meaningful expression.
At this time, Gu Ji found that in addition to Yan Qingwen, there was also a man with a short head, a little plateau red cheeks, and bright eyes.
Gu Ji glanced at the name on his chest, Zou Lei.
Zou Lei glared at him for some reason, "Director Yan, Han Detachment, Bian Shizhang is the dog searcher of our search team, don't be like this kid......"
"It's fine."
Han Yue narrowed his eyes, stared at Gu Ji, and muttered his name in his mouth, "Bian Shizhang, well, it seems that you are clever, boldly say your thoughts." ”
"Time is of the essence, that's what you said before."
Gu Ji was used to seeing the big world, and he didn't care about the gaze of several people.
"Our top priority now is to find out the disaster situation and save people as soon as possible, the 'golden 72 hours' is the golden rescue period after the geological disaster, from the beginning of the first main earthquake, there are only 55 hours left now, and we still have a group of Xia compatriots in the mission to be confirmed."
Hearing the words "compatriots of the Xia Kingdom", the eyes of Yan Qingwen, Han Yue, and Zou Lei flashed at the same time.
Due to the close relationship between Pakistan and Xia, many Xiaguo enterprises and construction teams will come to Pakistan to assist in construction, and a large number of Xiaguo people come to do business and work to make a living, and they are mainly distributed in Karachi, Islamabad, and the Lahore metropolitan area where they are currently located.
So.
Finding out whether there were Xia compatriots killed in the earthquake is also one of the important tasks of their operation!
"So, my suggestion is to set off on foot immediately, cross with weight, go to the earthquake area, and save people first!"
"It's a good sentence 'save people first'."
Han Yue should take a sip in his mouth.
Gu Ji's words seemed to speak to his heart.
In fact, anyone who knows a little about earthquake disasters knows that this mountain road must not be able to stay any longer, and whether they rush to the disaster area or not, there is no doubt that they will leave here as soon as possible.
"All members of the rescue team obey the order!"
"Whoa."
In an instant, everyone stopped the non-essential work in their hands at the same time, stood up straight, and waited earnestly for Han Yue to speak.
"Immediately set out to search for backpacks, supplies, and rescue equipment, and bring all the machinery and tools that can be carried, and march quickly at any cost to rush to the earthquake area to save people, can you do it!"
"Yes!!"
For a while, sixty-one members of the rescue team shouted in unison.
"Bian Shizhang, let's return to the team!"
"Yes!"
Gu Ji straightened his back, agreed, and returned to the search team with Xiao Jian.
But as he walked, he always felt that someone was watching him behind him.
When I turned around, it turned out to be the Zou Lei just now.
Although I don't know why the other party keeps looking at him, looking at the posture he just spoke, it should be Gu Ji's direct leader, searching for the captain of the team.
Could it be that he overstepped the report and upset him?
But Gu Ji really didn't have time to pay attention to it now.
The landslide happened relatively suddenly, except for a few people like him, who were always carrying backpacks, the rest of the rescuers' things were basically left on the luggage rack of the bus, but the more important rescue equipment and medical supplies were placed in the cargo compartment under the side of the bus.
But because the passenger car has long been squeezed and deformed by the boulder, they can only use hydraulic tongs and struts to forcibly tear the outer compartment cover open.
In practice, the bus will constantly emit a tooth-aching metal creaking sound.
This can't help but make the rescuers who pass the backpacks outside the car more and more nervous.
"Squeak ......"
Just as the equipment in the cargo compartment was halfway transferred, the body suddenly made a noticeably different movement from before.
Gu Ji, Han Yue and the others hurriedly looked over.
I saw that the tires of the passenger car facing the side of the hill gradually began to rub against the ground.
Oops!!
The equipment was removed, the weight of the cargo box was reduced, and the mechanical balance was lost for a short time, allowing the falling rocks to further compress the body!
"The bus is going to fall! Come on! ”
"Evacuate everyone!!"
Gu Ji and Han Yue shouted one after the other, reminding everyone.
Rescuers in the bus hurriedly jumped out of the shattered window, while several people standing on the back side of the car who were responsible for carrying the equipment hurriedly fled in the direction of the front of the car.
Seeing that the bus has been dumped downward.
One of the female medical staff had no time to run out with an ECG device, and her feet slipped and she fell down the hill.
Gu Ji's legs immediately tensed, and he flickered, and his speed was amazingly fast.
At the moment when the female medical staff fell, she grabbed her right hand, grabbed her ankle, and pulled out a short shovel from nowhere in her left hand, and slammed it into the mud ground, "Boom......"
"Wang! Woof! ”
"Ah——!h
"Lost the device! Grab the bushes!! ”
A shovel is not a pickaxe after all, and the tip of the shovel scrapes all the way down the dirt.
Fortunately, Gu Ji shouted in time, and the female medical staff let go of the heavy ECG equipment in her arms, and his rescue dog Xiao Jian saw that his master was in distress, so he rushed down the hillside without hesitation, bit Gu Ji's sleeve, dragged it back, and the three parties finally barely stopped in place.
But before she had time to rejoice.
In the next second, the top of his head suddenly went dark.
When I looked up, I saw that the huge bus body smashed down from the mountain road, almost grazing the scalps of the two people, smashing heavily on the ground, making a "boom" sound, and then rolling towards the river at the bottom of the mountain.
"Throw the rope!!"
Without waiting for Han Yue's order, Wang Yuexi threw off the safety rope from the hillside and landed beside Gu Ji and the female medic with great precision.
"Hold on to the rope!"
After being reminded by Gu Ji, the female doctor reacted, reached out and held the rope firmly in her hand, and with the help of the rescue team, the two returned to the mountain road step by step.
The female nurse collapsed in the arms of her fellow nurses, her face pale.
Rao is that they all came out of the armed police hospital and participated in various medical rescue operations, but when they really faced the scene when the giant bus fell down, their minds were blank except for fear, and it was completely like they were down.
There is no ability to resist at all!
"Phew, thank you, brother." After Gu Ji came up, he looked at Wang Yuexi who was wiping his sweat, and knew that he had dropped the rope in time.
"You're welcome." Wang Yuexi learned from Gu Ji's original answer, and finally smiled.
"Good skills, Bian Shizhang and Wang Yuexi, you two are the vanguard of the team, responsible for leading everyone forward, no problem?"
At this time, Han Yue came over and called him from behind.
Gu Ji would let go of this good opportunity to complete the task, and decisively agreed: "Guarantee to complete the task!" ”
"Me too!" Wang Yuexi shouted excitedly.
"Okay, support team, how is the handling of materials and equipment?" Han Yue turned around and asked the team leader in charge of the material support of the rescue team.
The security captain shook his head and sighed: "Because the location of the bus is too dangerous, the team members don't dare to rush too much, but only less than half of the number is rescued." ”
"Half is enough, all the staff are ready, and set off on foot immediately!"
"Yes!"
Han Yue gave an order, and all the staff moved together.
Gu Jiyi took the lead, rushed up the dirt slope with Xiao Jian, grabbed the sharp corner of the boulder, turned over, and Wang Yuexi followed.
In the rear, sixty rescue team members followed them in two columns.
The trail after the landslide is extremely difficult to walk, full of boulders and mud piles, and it is easy to collapse if you encounter a place where the structure is not stable.
Fortunately, the vast majority of the rescue team were transferred from engineering soldiers.
Supporting each other with two handfuls can be regarded as a thrilling flip through.
After escaping from the mountains and forests, entering the plain road, Gu Ji was even more like a fish in water.
He has experienced Jinbang training, and he has to run 8 kilometers of armed cross-country running and 3 kilometers of armed swimming every day, plus he also has a blue endurance mark, so there is no need to talk about physical strength.
And the rescue team did physical work, which was enough to keep up with his rhythm.
But some of the medical staff in the team are ordinary people, plus there are a few injured Pakistani firefighters, Gu Ji still can't get up to speed.
At this time, the captain of the support team sped up and ran up and shouted: "Director Yan, Han detachment, some team members are too heavy with equipment on their backs, and their physical strength is a little unable to keep up, and the medical team has also reacted, and the wounded have been crying out in pain." ”
"All stand still!"
Han Yue suddenly shouted, and then called Gu Ji and Wang Yuexi over, and briefly described the situation of the team.
Looking at the bottom left corner, there are only 40 minutes left for the mission.
Gu Ji turned his head to look at the back of the team, and his mind quickly flashed the topographic map of Punjab Province that he had peeked at on the bus before, and quickly explained: "Director Yan, Han Detachment, if there are people in the team who can't keep up now, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult to keep up later." ”
"After this plain, there is a new mountainous area in front of it, where it is closer to the earthquake area, and the damage situation will definitely be more serious, so it is better to temporarily divide the team into two teams, leaving a part of the medical, wounded, technical, and support personnel to guard the heavy equipment, led by Director Yan, stand by in place, and continue to find a way to contact the outside world through the radio."
"The remaining search and rescue and rescue teams are all speeding up and striving to reach the earthquake area as soon as possible, and after seeing the command center of the Pakistani disaster area, they can still let the Pakistani side send emergency troops to come and answer Director Yan and them rush to the disaster area."
After listening to Gu Ji's proposal, Yan Qingwen and Han Yue glanced at each other, and seemed to think that this method was not bad.
Because it is a plain area right now, even if there are any aftershocks, there is almost no danger.
On the contrary, forcibly climbing the mountain with the wounded is more likely to cause accidents.
"Just follow Bian Shizhang's method, Director Yan, and they will be handed over to you."
"Don't worry, but when you arrive in the earthquake area, you must be careful, don't act rashly, you must observe first, and wait for the opinion of the expert group."
Han Yue and Yan Qingwen instructed each other a few words.
Immediately, the team was divided into two halves, with a small number remaining in place while the large group continued to march towards the mountains ahead.
When you run to the head of the line.
Zou Lei couldn't help but glance at him again, and this scene happened to be seen by Gu Ji.
Mess him up.
However, without those who were dragging their feet, the speed of the rescue team climbed a step again, and soon rushed into the mountains.
Because it is closer to the earthquake zone, the aftershocks are more severe, and there are even obvious cracks in the bare rocks of the mountain.
Fortunately, Gu Ji now often trains ropes, in addition to rope rappelling, there is naturally also climbing, using both hands and feet, three times five divided by two, and he has climbed over some steep slopes.
And Wang Yuexi, as a rescuer, acted even more quickly.
The two tied the safety rope to the stable tree trunk and threw it down to make it easier for the team members behind them to climb.
But there were few people who just climbed up.
The rescue dog Xiao Jian suddenly pounced on Gu Ji's trouser leg, scratched it twice, then bared his teeth, lowered his body, and looked down at the back of the hillside with vigilance.
"Wait, there seems to be a situation on the hillside!"
Gu Ji let out a low shout, and several rescuers who were climbing immediately stopped in place, and the audience instantly fell silent.
His ears flickered slightly, and he faintly heard the voice of a human speaking, "There seems to be someone behind the hillside!" And more than one! A lot! ”
"People? How could there be people in this place! ”
Han Yue frowned and asked.
The map marked it as a wild forest, and it was only because it was the closest access to the earthquake zone that they took the risk.
After quickly climbing up, Han Yue took Gu Ji and Wang Yuexi to sneak over.
Pick up the binoculars and take a look.
I saw a convoy smashed to pieces by falling rocks on the dirt road down the hillside, and a group of figures wearing white reflective rescue suits were surrounding these vehicles to tinker.
"It seems to be a Saudi rescue team!"
Han Yue's eyes couldn't help but light up as he saw that one of the transport trucks had already started its engine.
Saudi Arabia and Pakistan are both Sunnis, and there are often military and economic exchanges, so the relationship between the two countries is very good, not to mention that the two countries are relatively close, and it is normal for the first to rush over to support.
And Xia Guo has a close relationship with Saudi Arabia, which means that they may be able to take a free ride.
This proposal, Gu Ji must raise 10,000 hands to agree.
So under the leadership of Han Yue.
The first meeting between the Xia Guo rescue team and the Saudi rescue team took place.
It turned out that the Saudi rescue team bypassed the mountain forest from the side of the plain and was about to rush to the earthquake area, but like them, they encountered an aftershock, missed the dodge, and were hit by a landslide.
However, since they were on the gentle slopes of the plains, they had enough space to escape, and the damage was much lighter than that of the Xia rescue team.
The so-called "cannibalistic mouth is short".
Han Yue took the lead in leading the rescue and technical support team, and took the initiative to help the beach rescue team repair damaged equipment and vehicles.
It was heard that they were also injured and trapped in place.
The captain of the Saudi rescue team immediately said that they could be pulled by truck to the command center of the earthquake area to seek relief from Pakistan.
Gu Ji, Han Yue, and Wang Yuexi, the three of them looked at each other and smiled.
Their purpose was accomplished.
So, all the staff sat in the back of the transport truck and set off all the way to the western earthquake zone, just in time for the end of the game time.
A gray ruin finally appeared in front of Gu Ji's eyes.
A few gray-haired, tattered-clad men, like zombies, walked aimlessly, not even paying attention to their transport trucks and shouting.
The next second.
A military green tent area came into view.
[Goal: Within 2 hours, arrive at the rescue site successfully!] 】
