Chapter 380 His Father is Gone

She really couldn't sit still, so she went to chat with Xiulian to see if she could give her some advice or something.

However, she unexpectedly got another piece of news from Xiulian——

In the early morning, a major earthquake occurred in Tangsuo City in North China. Hao Yonggang and Ji Lianqi rushed there at the first moment of dawn.

"There's an earthquake?!" Ye Ying covered her lips in surprise.

No wonder the bed seemed to shake violently several times when she was half asleep last night.

Tangling City is about 500 kilometers away from here, but you can still feel the slight tremors.

Xiulian nodded: "Yes, at around 3 or 4 in the middle of the night, it is said that many people died."

"Oh, these people are so pitiful! They were killed while they were still sleeping. Who could have thought that an earthquake would come at this time?!"

Ye Ying sighed, "Did all three battalions participate in this operation?"

She was a little confused. The two provinces were only 500 kilometers apart, so why did they need Ji Lianqi and others' support?

Is it possible that the nearby provinces cannot provide support?

At this time, Xiulian said, "That's not the case either. It was just Old Hao and your wife who took people there."

"Just went to a camp?"

"That's right." Xiulian explained while feeding her child: "Old Hao said that we should let Lian Qi go over to see what the situation is, and then decide whether to send more people."

Ye Ying no longer knew what to say.

It seemed like God was playing a trick on her. At this critical moment, such a thing suddenly happened and "sent him away" again!

I was thinking about sorting out the things between them and talking them out, but...

Seeing that Ye Ying didn't say anything, Xiulian said, "Don't worry, they will be back when they are done."

Ye Ying sighed and nodded, then chatted with Xiu Lian for a while and then went back to the house.

At this point, what else can she do except wait here?

After all, the documents required to go abroad cannot be issued so quickly.

earthquake zone.

After a day of hard work, Ji Lianqi, Hao Yonggang and others finally arrived in Tangluo City.

This huge earthquake affected an area of ​​200 kilometers.

Sadly, the earthquake struck in an urban area and in a densely populated industrial zone.

Everywhere I looked, I saw collapsed houses and a scene of devastation.

Because the disaster affected a wide area and the towns and villages were relatively scattered, the troops dispatched by the province alone were unable to provide timely rescue to the people.

After learning about the major earthquake in Tangluo City, the higher-ups immediately ordered surrounding provinces to send reinforcements and do their utmost to protect the lives and safety of the people affected.

So after receiving the order from above, Hao Yonggang and his colleagues rushed to the disaster area.

Just as the military vehicles were entering the worst-hit areas, there was a slight aftershock that lasted for a few seconds.

Hao Yonggang and Ji Lianqi did not dare to delay, and after contacting the local rescue team, they participated in the rescue.

The earthquake disrupted local transportation, water supply, electricity supply, and communications, and this industrialized city with a population of one million was razed to the ground in just a few seconds.

There were cries everywhere at the scene.

Some survivors were frantically digging through the rubble with their bare hands, trying to rescue their loved ones.

Some people knelt on the ruins and kowtowed to their dead relatives in despair.

....

Hao Yonggang and Ji Lianqi saw this and felt mixed emotions.

Suddenly, a stumbling figure rushed towards them, and Ji Lianqi quickly caught the person.

It was a girl with messy hair, her face was covered with dust and mixed with tears, and her original appearance was almost invisible.

The girl cried and pulled Ji Lianqi and Hao Yonggang, "Can you help me rescue my father?"

Ji Lianqi frowned: "Where is your father trapped?"

The girl cried even harder, and pulled them to a crack in the ground. She said in despair, "My dad is in there! During the earthquake, I saw him fall from here with my own eyes! And then, I couldn't see him anymore."

Ji Lianqi's body trembled.

There was a bit more sympathy in the look he gave the girl.

"If your dad fell from here, there would be no chance of him surviving."

Although it was cruel, he still wanted to tell her the truth.

The crack in the ground is now only as wide as two fists. If someone really falls from here, the consequences can be imagined.

The girl was only about sixteen or seventeen years old. After hearing what Ji Lianqi said, she fell to the ground and burst into tears.

"No, wuwuwu....this is not true! He has to earn money for my college tuition!"

Hao Yonggang sighed and asked someone to take her away from the disaster area.

There could be danger here at any time, so they have to get those with vital signs away first.

"Go ahead, brother, let's get started. I think this is going to be a tough battle." Hao Yonggang said to Ji Lianqi with a wry smile.

Ji Lianqi nodded heavily, turned around and officially joined the rescue.

On the other side, Ye Ying, who had been watching TV for two days, finally saw the scene of the disaster area on black and white TV.

The severity of the disaster was far beyond her imagination.

The news said that the number of people affected by the disaster reached over 400,000.

These are just preliminary statistics.

It was at this moment that she suddenly understood why they had to dispatch personnel from such a faraway place to provide support.

Who knows, one battalion might not be enough.

Sure enough, the next day, Ye Ning, He Peng and others also left.

The only people left in the entire compound were the wives of soldiers.

That evening, Xiulian suddenly came to Yeying with a serious look on her face and asked her to answer the phone.

When Ye Ying saw Xiu Lian's expression, she had a bad feeling in her heart.

"What's wrong, Sister Xiu Lian? Who is calling?" Did something happen to Ji Lianqi?

Xiulian frowned, hesitating to speak: "This... Hey! You will know when you go to answer it."

Seeing this, Ye Ying's uneasiness gradually grew.

By the time she got to her duty post, she felt as if all her strength had been drained away.

She knew that this would not be a good thing.

"Hello? Who is this?"

"Is that you? Ye Ying."

The voice on the other end of the phone seemed to be Wang Qiuhong's.

But the polite tone made her feel unfamiliar.

Also, why did Wang Qiuhong suddenly call me?

Ye Ying spoke with a puzzled look in her heart: "Yes, it's me. What's the matter?"

Wang Qiuhong burst into sobs: "Where's Lianqi? Where's my Ah Qi? Where did he go?"

Ye Ying's heart skipped a beat, and she tightened her grip on the microphone: "There was a major earthquake in Tangshen City, and he rushed over to provide rescue immediately."

"What's wrong? Did something happen?"

After a while, Wang Qiuhong choked up and said, "His father passed away this afternoon."

In an instant, Ye Ying's mind went blank.

Ji Xingguo is gone...
