Chapter 253: United as One, Earthquake Relief

Heavy rain was pouring on a mountain road.

The violent earthquake tore the originally smooth road into pieces.

At the same time, a large number of huge rocks rolling down from the top of the mountain completely blocked this rescue passage.

The 63rd Division was conducting a live-fire exercise nearby, but they immediately interrupted the exercise upon learning of the earthquake.

In addition, in accordance with the orders from superiors, they drove to the disaster area quickly with rescue supplies and equipment to carry out rescue operations.

But no one expected that the earthquake would be so powerful that even the roads were blocked by landslides caused by the earthquake.

"Hello, Chief, we are currently on our way to the disaster area and have reached Highway 329 outside the city..."

"But the landslide has blocked the road, so we're planning to go the other way via the Second Bridge... What? The bridge collapsed, so what should we do..."

"Yes, yes, yes, I understand. No matter how difficult it is, we will rush to the disaster area and carry out rescue as soon as possible..."

"Don't worry, the disaster situation is an order. We will immediately launch a rescue operation after arriving at the scene..."

The colonel hung up the phone, wiped the rain off his face, looked at the pile of rocks in front of him with a serious expression, and seemed to make up his mind.

At this time, a lieutenant colonel came up and asked anxiously: "Commander, what should we do now? Should we turn around and go around from the second bridge?"

The colonel shook his head: "I'm ready to flip over directly."

"Turn over?"

The subordinates looked shocked.

The pile of rocks in front of me was at least five or six meters high, two stories high.

Moreover, rubble is constantly rolling down from the top of the mountain, which could take people's lives at any time.

Besides, even if people can climb over it, vehicles and heavy equipment cannot pass through.

In this way, even if they rush to the scene, the rescue effect they can provide will be minimal.

"Commander, this is too dangerous. Many people might be killed or injured. Let's go around the Second Bridge. At least the heavy equipment can..."

The colonel turned his head and stared at her with bloodshot eyes: "There is no time, we are out of time!"

"This earthquake wasn't even a 7.2 magnitude. The latest data from the Earthquake Monitoring Center confirmed that the intensity of this earthquake reached 7.5!"

"The Second Bridge collapsed, and most of the bridges and roads leading to the disaster area were severely damaged!"

"We can't take a detour, and we can't waste any more time. The people in the disaster area can't wait!"

Upon hearing this, the subordinates were so shocked that they couldn't say a word.

An earthquake of magnitude 7.5 is strong enough to destroy the world.

Roads and bridges have been destroyed and now they have no other options.

The colonel wiped the rain off his face and shouted, "Send the order down to Regiment B and Regiment C, carry your supplies and rescue equipment, and follow me over!"

"Regiment A will remain where they are. Once we pass through, use explosives to blow up all the rubble and try to restore the road to traffic as quickly as possible."

"This road must be opened for me. It is not only a rescue route, but also a lifeline for the people in the disaster area!"

"Yes!"

Everyone roared in response.

The people from Regiment A and Regiment B brought supplies and rescue equipment.

Following the division commander, he began to risk his life to climb over the two-story high pile of stones in front of him.

The aftershocks never stopped, and debris would roll down overhead from time to time.

You know, when an object reaches one moment of acceleration, even a stone the size of a thumb can cause a force comparable to that of a bullet.

Whistling rocks rolled down beside them, hitting some people on the arms, some on the back, and some on the head, leaving them bleeding.

But from beginning to end, no one stopped climbing and continued to climb up with all their might.

The people in the disaster area are still waiting for them, and the soldiers take it as their responsibility to protect the people.

Even if they die on the rescue road, they will not look back and move forward bravely.

......

The earthquake disaster level rose from 7.2 to 7.5.

The power is equivalent to detonating a thousand Hirotori Z bombs at the same time.

The affected area covers several surrounding counties and cities, and the losses caused are incalculable.

The country also immediately dispatched all possible forces to the disaster area to carry out rescue work.

The People's Liberation Army, armed police, public security, fire and medical rescue personnel stationed in the surrounding areas all responded to the call and rushed to the scene for emergency assistance.

After hearing the news, people from all walks of life donated money and manpower.

Large amounts of drinking water, convenience foods, fruits and vegetables, tents, sleeping bags and other daily necessities are being transported to the disaster area at a rapid pace.

In the face of disaster, the Chinese people showed an amazing cohesion.

It truly reflects what it means when one side is in trouble, all sides will come to its aid.

At this moment, people all over the country are concerned about the disaster area and are praying for the people affected.

......

At this moment, Qin Feng and others had already left the train station.

They spontaneously came to the center of City X for emergency rescue.

Because the signal was interrupted, the specific level of the disaster was not clear to everyone.

But what is certain is that the damage caused by this earthquake will definitely not be small.

At this moment, the city center has become a dilapidated scene.

The smooth asphalt road became wrinkled, like the wrinkles on an old woman's face.

Green trees were lying all over the roadside, and street lights were blocking the middle of the road as if they had been violently broken.

From the cars on the road, the fallen billboards and neon signs, you can see the prosperity of the past here.

But at this moment, most of the shops and buildings lining the streets have turned into piles of rubble.

Decades of economic development and construction were destroyed in an instant.

But the most heartbreaking thing is far more than that.

On the roadside, there were a large number of disaster-stricken people in ragged clothes.

Their eyes were empty, and their faces showed confusion and anxiety after the fear.

In the distance, many people were kneeling on the ruins, crying heart-wrenchingly.

These scenes brought tears to everyone's eyes, including Qin Feng.

The heart felt like it was being squeezed tightly by a pair of invisible hands, making it hard to breathe.

The scene before my eyes was simply hell on earth.

At this moment, everyone truly witnessed the horror of natural disasters, which could easily destroy a city...

Ge Zhiyong wiped his eyes and was about to order a rescue when an old man carrying a shoulder pole and a bucket came over from a distance.

"Yes, water?"

The old man had a hoarse voice and was wearing tattered clothes.

It looks like he just escaped from an earthquake.

Qin Feng quickly handed over his water bottle and asked, "Old man, where are you going?"

The old man drank the water in big gulps and returned the kettle: "I don't know either."

"What about your family, are they okay?" Ge Zhiyong asked immediately.

"Family..." The old man's eyes were confused for a moment, and he slowly shook his head: "They are all dead. I am the only one left in the family. The old and the young, all five of us in the family are dead..."

He lifted the towel covering the bucket and found a wounded puppy lying inside.

"Now, it's just me and it..."

After saying that, the old man sighed slowly.

Carrying the bucket, hunched over, he walked towards an unknown road.

Looking at the old man's back as he left, everyone couldn't help but choke up with sobs.

The most painful thing in the world is to see a loved one die.

An earthquake left the old man with nothing.

But they know better that there are many more people like this in this disaster area.

Qin Feng took out a bright flag, put it on a steel pipe on the side of the road, and shouted loudly.

"Brothers, the disaster is an order. We must be extremely alert. There are still millions of disaster-stricken people waiting for our rescue!"

"United as one, we must strive to achieve complete victory in the earthquake relief efforts!"

"Yes!"

A flaming red flag was raised high.

Like a weak flame, it brought a glimmer of hope of life to the disaster area...
