Chapter 165 (Chapter 165 (third update)...)

At 9:26 a.m., all five major roads leading to Changle were opened.

At 9:30 in the morning, each team began to search for anyone missing.

At 10:10 a.m., because the road was too difficult to clear, after discussion, the army decided to let the advance rescue team lead the team to walk to seven shelters.

At 10:15 in the morning, each comrade of the advance rescue team was carrying a bulging military backpack, a helmet, and small medical bags filled with emergency medicine. They lined up one foot deep and one foot shallow, in the ruins. Walking through to the refuge.

At 12:05 in the morning, the road leading to the city was simply cleared, and the engineering troops began emergency rescue of important equipment such as power plants and base stations.

As they were doing all this, reporters who arrived as quickly as possible kept recording it all.

Tonight, the scenes they recorded will appear on the Central Continent Broadcast, so that all people in Central Continent can see it.

When they first received this task, this small team couldn't believe it.

What does it mean that a major earthquake occurred in Changle, and a few hours before the earthquake, more than one million Changle residents were transferred to a safe area overnight by the People's Liberation Army sent by the central government?

This sounds impossible to happen.

Whether it’s earthquake prediction or moving more than a million people away overnight.

Therefore, on the way here, they were more or less dubious.

But when they arrived in Changle, all doubts turned into shock.

Changle was undoubtedly a beautiful city in the past. Like other cities in Central Continent, they all worked hard to develop, building small buildings, street shops, and even street lights in the urban area.

But now, under the bright daylight, what they saw was devastation.

At a glance, they are all ruins of buildings.

Every building is covered with thick dust. According to the comrades of the rescue team who led them into this area, "the dust is actually quite dangerous. If someone inhales a lot of dust after the earthquake, they are likely to get lung disease." "

So they all wore masks on their faces to avoid inhaling the dust at the site.

Naturally, he who introduced this did not know that Song Yao had vigorously promoted this, and at the same time, the fire and smoke masks worn on the firefighters' faces were also promoted.

That's an improved version of the Xinghe County mask, and it's extremely easy to use.

The reporter comrades naturally recorded this introduction.

They were all a little uncomfortable. Everything around them was extremely quiet. Although all the pictures showed how tragic the city had gone through, what was reassuring was that there were no casualties.

The biggest injured person they have recorded so far is a rescue worker who injured his leg while trying to avoid the debris of a suddenly falling building while working to open a road.

During the interview, he was a little embarrassed. His face turned pale from pain, but he still managed to show a smile.

"Actually, I'm very happy. Even if I'm injured, I'm still happy because I'm from Changle. From the moment I saw no one in need of rescue, I was sure that my parents are safe."

"I'm just a little embarrassed. I guess they didn't expect that nothing would happen to them in the earthquake area, but it was me who came to the rescue who was injured."

Speaking of this, his ears turned red, and he was obviously worried about how to tell his parents about his injury.

The reporter comrades all smiled kindly. Their team has always been responsible for filming such situations. They have seen many life and death scenes and are used to seeing hell scenes. Only this time, they even laughed out loud at the filming scene.

The tallest building in Changle City is gone.

The photographer could only record a ruins, and the reporter stood there and said with great emotion:

"Standing on these ruins, hope rises again. The people who once worked here are still there, and the people who built it are still there. As long as everyone is still there, we can rebuild a new Changle."

The seven major refuge areas also welcomed the People's Liberation Army who came on foot to deliver supplies.

Naturally, some people were injured along the way. Even if they were walking on uneven roads, they might fall down, let alone ruins like this, which were always prone to falling objects.

But fortunately, no one was seriously injured. When a teammate is injured, other players will naturally help.

After the people on the refuge experienced exhaustion-shock-fear-rejoicing, they ushered in the next stage: confusion.

The mountains collapsed, and most of their homes were probably gone. They had just experienced a wave of aftershocks. It was estimated that even those who survived the last time would be shaken away in the aftershocks.

How should we live in the days to come?

After not eating all night and all morning, the child is crying from hunger. Where will he get food from?

The troops stationed at the refuge had no choice. They were summoned urgently and were busy as soon as they arrived. They had no time to bring food.

But able-bodied adults can starve with the troops, but not children, the elderly, patients, and pregnant women.

The troops in the seven refuge areas made the same decision almost at the same time.

They sent people out to pick wild vegetables and fruits, and gathered firewood to light the fire.

Everyone saw that the troops were as hungry as they were and had to work hard for them. Some people also recognized wild vegetables and volunteered to help. Some people brought food. After thinking about it, they handed it over to the troops for distribution.

It was like turning on some terrible switch. Everyone suddenly realized that they had brought a lot of belongings with them.

Many people began to put the things they carried and might use on the grass in front of the troops.

At the critical moment, it was naturally impossible for the troops to refuse them, but they still sent people to carefully record who gave these things and what they gave.

The smell of rice soon appeared on the refuge ground.

It doesn't matter if there is no pot, but many people run for their lives carrying the pot on their backs.

Some people even brought things like oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar. The most outrageous thing was that someone brought out two fish, soaked them in water and put them in a bag. After one night, there was still one fish alive.

The tough grandma who escaped and brought two fish out generously said that she had raised them and intended to give them to her pregnant daughter-in-law who lived in other cities. However, since the current situation was special, she would wait until she returned home to eat them. Just raise two:

"There's no need to remember my name. If you're pregnant with a baby, you won't be shocked. I'll make fish soup for those who are pregnant with babies. It'll be a relief."

Even so, the young soldier in charge of recording recorded the two fishes seriously, and specifically marked them as two fat fishes.

The various items donated by everyone were piled on the floor. When the troops were cleaning up, they even found a few diapers inside, and finally gave them to a baby who was dumbfounded.

The food collected was naturally not enough for everyone, but at least there was enough for children, the elderly, pregnant women, and the sick.

When the children who were crying because of hunger stopped crying and calmed down with contentment, the adults also felt that they were not very hungry.

In order to relieve the pressure of hunger, some people started to stop talking to save their energy, while others thought over and over that they shouldn't starve like this.

Elders, led by middle-aged and elderly people, have given many solutions:

"Actually, do you know that belts are edible? Of course I am talking about real leather, not fake leather. The bark of trees can also be eaten, the leaves can also be eaten, and the roots can also be eaten..."

There was nothing that was inedible in their mouths. An old man even dug out an earthworm and swore that it could be eaten even if it was cooked.

"It's a pity that the earthquake shook those animals to where they were, otherwise we could have eaten even a pheasant."

"Don't mention this. I left in a hurry. My two pigs are still in the pig pen. Two pigs, how much meat is that?"

"I didn't take my cattle or sheep with me, and I don't know if they are alive."

"Don't mention it. My mother insisted on taking that old hen that only lays eggs away. I refused to let her take it away at the time. Thinking about it now, I really regret it."

Everyone mourned the poultry at home, but most of them mourned with the thought that "they must taste delicious."

Some people were already eyeing the leaves on the trees, thinking that drinking leaf soup would be enough to satisfy their hunger. However, because the army gave everyone a bowl of wild vegetable soup with only a few wild vegetables, they temporarily gave up the idea of ​​picking leaves to make soup. .

The advance rescue team arrived in this atmosphere of “everyone is looking for food”.

I don’t know if they were fainting from hunger, or if they were brainwashed by the common people. When the comrades who went to the rescue saw the leather rope on the rescue team’s backpack, their first thought was, “I don’t know if this leather rope can be used.” eat".

But soon, they won't have to worry about this anymore.

The advance rescue team not only brought enough food for everyone to have a meal, but also brought news that a large amount of supplies were behind them.

As long as the roads are open, truckloads of supplies can be delivered here.

After the military comrades got over their excitement, they quickly took the bullhorn and hoarsely informed the others.

Cheers resounded through the mountains and forests. Listening to the deafening cheers, the advance rescue team couldn't help but smile when they looked at the hopeful Changle residents with smiles on their faces.

At 5:37 p.m., the first supply truck arrived.

At 6:06 p.m., Changle City received power and communications were restored.

At 6:01 p.m., the refuge contacted the outside world for the first time and reported the situation to the central government.

[The total number of people who arrived at the first evacuation site yesterday was 376,561, and 322 were injured, with no major casualties. 】

[The total number of people arriving at the second evacuation site yesterday was...no major casualties. 】

【The third place of refuge...】

Reports from the seven refuge areas have been completed. In this rescue race against time, Changle miraculously achieved the goal of zero resident deaths in the 7.9-magnitude earthquake.

Even critically ill patients who were urgently transferred from the hospital were kept alive by generators thanks to the efforts of doctors and nurses.

This is definitely a wonder of the world.

Even those Changle people who were transferred out overnight were surprised that no one died.

You know, there are more than one million people in Changle.

They all ran out and no one was left behind.

At this moment, everyone who had just escaped death looked at the carts of supplies, the teams in military uniforms, and the dust-covered soldiers who opened the way, and felt extremely lucky in their hearts.

At this moment, everyone realized that they were not the lucky ones who escaped the earthquake, but just ordinary Zhongzhou people.

People who were still thinking about the house originally stopped worrying about the remaining finances in the family.

It is heartbreaking to lose these things, but when I think about the whole of Central Continent, I feel relieved when I see the words "Come on, Changle" and "Hold on, Changle" written on those relief packages, as well as the suffixes of the cities behind them. Come down.

"I just heard a member of the People's Liberation Army say that now we in Changle have begun to rebuild."

"So fast? Wasn't there an earthquake that happened just yesterday?"

"Yeah, it's so fast. The People's Liberation Army won't just come over overnight and start construction. That won't work. I actually think sleeping on the ground is okay. Besides, don't we have tents now? We're not in a hurry to live in the house."

"These comrades are all very young. They look about eighteen or nineteen years old. Look, does that one over there look like my son?"

"It looks like it, it really looks like it, eh, he's coming over."

The two people chatting immediately stopped their expressions and watched the young soldier with a helmet full of dust coming over. They were about to say hello when they heard him shout:

"dad!!!"

Both of them were shocked: "Old Chen, this is your son!"

"It's really you, eh, aren't you in Cotton City? Why are you here?"

The young soldier was only nineteen years old. When he saw his father safe and sound, he said with red eyes: "We were sent to rescue. Dad, you don't know that I was scared to death when I found out about the earthquake at home. Where's my mother, my sister, they Are you okay?"

"It's okay, it's okay. Everything is okay at home. When we ran out, we even took the dog with us. Your mother was learning to knit with someone, and your sister was playing with the children there. She was very happy with these children... "

The young soldier looked in the direction pointed by his father, and sure enough he saw his mother sitting cross-legged on the ground with a group of aunts, holding a long woolen needle that someone didn't know who had brought it out, chatting and laughing while knitting.

My sister was playing eagle and chicken with a group of children. Because there were too many children, an "eagle" had to face more than thirty "chicks", and the laughter could be heard clearly even from such a distance.

This does not feel like a refuge, but like a collective outing for the whole city.

This is what the reporter team saw when they arrived. They quickly set up their machines and recorded the scene.

In the evening, Song Yao and the others sat in front of the TV on time and saw this picture that made people happy.

Didn't they work so hard just to see this scene?

Zhao Xiaodong turned his head excitedly: "Look, Yao'er!! We did it!!"

"I'm so happy!! You're so awesome!!! I'm going to give you my last piece of chocolate!!"

As a result, behind her, Song Yao was already sleeping soundly on Yuan Jiang's arm.

There was still half a piece of familiar chocolate in his mouth.
