Chapter 69: Crying? The song of life under the ruins!
The jeep could no longer move forward 20 kilometers away from Tangshan.
When Xiaobai jumped out of the car, the soles of his boots crushed the moonlight, leaving spider-web-like cracks on the ground.
"All communications are cut off! The vanguard said..."
The signalman's hoarse report was interrupted by a sudden aftershock.
Tang Jingmo grabbed Xiaobai, who was about to fall, and they both looked towards the skyline at the same time: where the city lights should have been, there was now a strange dark red morning mist rolling, like the blood spit out by a wounded giant beast.
"Full speed ahead!" Tang Jingmo's roar scared away the rows of crows on the telephone poles.
When the first ray of sunlight pierced through the haze, Xiaobai stopped in front of the ruins of a department store where the ruins had piled up into a small hill.
A baby's cry came from under the concrete slab, the sound as thin as a thread about to break.
"here!"
She lifted up the broken end of the steel bar, and where no one else could see, the invisible vines entangled the broken walls and lifted them up with force.
The scene before them made everyone feel suffocated.
A couple hunched their bodies together, creating a triangular space, using their spines to support the life space for their baby.
The couple's bodies had long since become stiff, but their bent spines were like an arch bridge that would never collapse.
"Catch...catch the child." Xiaobai's voice was broken in the morning breeze.
When she gently handed the little life to the medical worker of the rescue team, she found that the baby was holding half a photo in his hand, which was the smiling faces of a family of three.
Everyone's eyes were wet, but they didn't dare to let the tears blur their vision. There were more people waiting for them to tear open the darkness and bring light.
The War Dragon Team and the Wolf King Team became the main force of the rescue vanguard, and all the rescue skills learned in daily training were demonstrated.
They only regret that they were not born with three heads and six arms, two extra pairs of hands, or two extra legs.
Faster! Faster! Faster!
If you seize the opportunity one second earlier, you may be able to save a life from the hands of death!
It was noon, and the ruins were still busy, with no one stopping to eat or even drink water.
The sun sets and the moon rises, and as the subsequent reinforcements arrive one after another, the members of the War Dragon Team and the Wolf King Team can finally take a breather.
But no one spoke, they just sat there, mechanically stuffing dry food into their mouths and then drinking two sips of water and swallowing it.
Their eyes were always fixed on the ruins and their ears were always alert. As soon as they heard a cry for help, they immediately gathered their food and rushed to the front line.
At this time, if you stop, even for just one second, you will feel deeply guilty.
Tang Jingmo's mental strength was already overdrawn, his complexion was getting worse and worse, but he couldn't rest.
There was no professional equipment, no advanced rescue tools, and even the number of basic jacks was limited.
What he could do was to use his mental strength to silently provide a support for the rescue soldiers, reduce the difficulty of rescue, and protect the lives of the soldiers.
He believed that Xiaobai was the same.
The two people's eyes met in the air, unspeakable worry, unexpressed comfort, thousands of words were all contained in this glance in the crowd.
"There are still people alive here!"
Xiaobai had just put away the vines and took a breath. Upon hearing this, he immediately ran over to help.
Tang Jingmo had arrived first. He wiped off the sweat and dust and shouted towards the gap in the ruins: "Hold on a little longer!"
He turned around and waved to the engineers: "Set up the Changjiang-10!"
Two soldiers rushed over carrying a military green hydraulic jack, and dark red anti-rust oil was seeping out from the sealing ring.
Xiaobai knelt on one knee on the ground to clean up the rubble inside, and used vines to fix the structure inside the ruins to prevent a second collapse.
"Squeak!" This equipment made in Shanghai in 1973 is working at overload.
"No! The concrete beam is stuck!" the soldier in charge of the operation suddenly shouted.
"Use this!" Jiang Hang held a half piece of hemp rope, "I've seen railway workers use it..."
He quickly demonstrated how to add a lever to the top of the jack.
When Can Heng was finally lifted up to a gap as wide as a palm, his pair of eyes eager to survive were like the bright moon in the dark night, illuminating everyone's hearts.
"Comrades of the People's Liberation Army, thank you! Thank you! There is a pregnant woman nearby, please save her first!"
His face was covered with a thick layer of black dust, but his white teeth showed when he smiled.
Xiaobai and Tang Jingmo used their special powers together to remove the broken stone that was covering the man in one breath.
A pregnant woman was lying next to him, she was already unconscious and the situation looked very serious.
The man's arm was resting on the pregnant woman, covered in blood, with bones even exposed in some places.
"Comrade...your lover..."
"Save her first, she's already nine months pregnant! Ah, no, she's not my lover. We just happened to be trapped together!"
From listening to him, he seemed to be in good spirits. I guess his arm just looked scary and was not life-threatening.
Everyone focused their attention on the pregnant woman. The nurse's eyes turned red and she shook her head:
"The pregnant woman is no longer breathing."
"Child, the baby in her belly is still alive!"
Xiaobai and Tang Jingmo shouted in unison. They could feel the baby in their stomach struggling.
"Send the operating tent immediately!" The medical worker's gray eyes lit up instantly.
"It's too late. The fetus must be taken out immediately, otherwise he will suffocate to death!" Xiaobai said with a heavy tone.
"Medical staff, operate on the spot!"
"Jiang Hang, go to the medical center and find a doctor who specializes in obstetrics and gynecology to come over for support!"
"Except for me and Instructor Lin, everyone else go to other places for rescue. Leave this to us!"
Tang Jingmo issued orders one after another.
No one asked why, no one hesitated, and they executed the order immediately.
It's not just because military orders are as heavy as a mountain, but also because of their trust in the two instructors.
If they say it can be saved, then it must be saved!
The medical worker received the order in a critical moment and felt that the order was as heavy as Mount Tai.
"Staff Officer Tang, Instructor Lin, I have no experience, I'm afraid..."
"Don't be afraid. Our primary mission now is to save the life of the fetus. Nothing else matters. The mother of the child will protect you!"
Xiaobai lowered his voice, but the firmness in his tone undoubtedly gave the nurse confidence.
"Go ahead, Comrade Doctor. We all trust you."
The injured man also spoke up to persuade him, his gray face full of trust.
The medic spread out the first aid kit, took a deep breath, and held the knife handle...
Xiao Bai nodded to Tang Jingmo imperceptibly. She placed one hand under her bulging belly and slowly channeled her supernatural power.
Her healing ability quietly protected the fetus' heart and gave him a chance to come into the world.
Tang Jingmo exerted his mental power, centered on the mother, and wrapped the people involved in the operation, trying to create a sterile environment within the mental barrier as much as possible.
This was an approach that had never been tried before, and he had no idea whether it would be successful.
I just subconsciously felt that doing so might give my child a better chance of being healthy.
The relay race of life is going on silently, and the dispersed soldiers are always concerned about this world.
“Wow~Wow~”
The most beautiful song of life sounded under the ruins!
