Qin Wan was about to agree with a few words when he suddenly heard footsteps in the distance. Qin Wan turned around and saw that it was a soldier running towards him in a hurry.
The soldier ran to them and stopped, breathing heavily and said:
"Oh no! Serious landslides have occurred in many places nearby, and many villagers are buried underneath. Our superiors have ordered us to quickly organize manpower to go to the rescue!"
As he spoke loudly, he kept gesturing in the air in the general direction with his hands, as if he was afraid that someone might not understand.
"Everyone, please quickly gather at the gate of our family compound with your tools! Time is running out!"
When Qin Wan heard this sudden news, her heart suddenly tightened, as if an invisible big hand was tightly grasping her heart.
She quickly turned around and said anxiously to Aunt Yu who was busy beside her:
"Auntie, please take a moment to look after the children at home. The situation here is urgent, and I have to rush over to help save people!"
Aunt Yu said, "Don't worry, I'll watch over there."
Before he finished speaking, Qin Wan turned around and rushed into the house without hesitation.
She swiftly picked up a shovel leaning against the wall, then rushed to the kitchen, found some steaming buns from the cupboard, and took a few bottles of water and put them into the bag.
After doing all this, she didn't even have time to catch her breath before she hurriedly took steps and ran towards the gate of the family compound.
When Qin Wan arrived at the gate of the family compound panting, she was shocked by the scene before her.
The place was already crowded with over a hundred anxious wives of soldiers, some holding hoes, others carrying hooks, all with solemn expressions, their eyes fixed anxiously on the front.
Among the bustling crowd, Qin Wan saw familiar figures at a glance - Sister Liu, Sister Luo, Liu Yingmei and others were also here!
At this moment, everyone's face was filled with anxiety and worry, and the furrowed brows and slightly trembling lips all revealed their inner uneasiness.
However, despite this, one can clearly feel an unswerving courage and determination from their bright and resolute eyes.
After some simple grouping arrangements, Qin Wan was surprised to find that he and Mrs. Liu, Mrs. Luo and Liu Yingmei were assigned to a relatively distant production team - the First Production Team of Nanshan Island.
After going through untold hardships, everyone finally arrived at the First Production Team of Nanshan Island. As soon as Qin Wan got off the car, she was completely stunned by the scene in front of her.
The houses that should have been neatly arranged were now in ruins, as if they had been through a brutal war. Seventy to eighty percent of the houses were destroyed, with some only broken walls and rubble left, while others had completely collapsed into ruins.
What made people feel even more terrified and desperate was that a serious landslide occurred in the mountain behind the production team!
A large amount of earth and rocks poured down, burying many places completely. It is said that many villagers were unfortunately buried under the earth and rocks.
Faced with such a serious situation, Qin Wan did not hesitate at all and immediately took action with a group of military wives who came to rescue.
Led by several battle-hardened soldiers, they armed themselves with shovels, ropes and other tools, trudging through the muddy path, one foot deep and one foot shallow. The path had recently rained heavily, making it extremely slippery and difficult to walk on, and anyone not careful could easily slip and fall.
However, everyone had only one common goal in mind - to get to the area where people were suspected to be trapped as quickly as possible to start rescue work.
"Everyone, be careful! The soil here is very soft, so try not to step on the edge."
An experienced soldier at the front of the team would turn around and shout reminders from time to time. His eyes swept across everyone's face, filled with concern and worry.
Qin Wan followed the soldier's footsteps closely, not daring to slack off in the slightest.
She held the shovel tightly with both hands, and her knuckles turned slightly white from exerting so much force.
Her eyes revealed a complex emotion, including tension and worry about unknown dangers, as well as an unwavering determination to rescue the trapped people.
She knew very well that every shovel of soil she dug might bring a glimmer of hope of survival to those buried deep underground.
As they continued to go deeper, they struggled forward along the winding and rugged path. The surrounding trees became increasingly dense and the light gradually became dimmer.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, we finally arrived at the location where the trapped people were suspected to be.
What appeared before everyone was a dilapidated, half-collapsed adobe house. The roof, which should have been sturdy, had now been almost completely washed away by the surging mud and rock flow, leaving only a few crumbling ruins that seemed like they would collapse at any time.
This bleak and dangerous scene can't help but make people feel fear and worry.
Everyone stopped and approached the ruined house cautiously, then listened quietly to see if there was any sound coming from inside the house.
However, there was dead silence all around. Apart from the occasional sound of the wind and the chirping of birds in the distance, no other sound could be heard.
At this moment, Qin Wan concentrated his mind, released his powerful spiritual sense, and carefully searched every corner inside and outside the house.
After a moment, she suddenly opened her eyes, her gaze fixed on a relatively secluded place, and with a look of joy on her face, she shouted anxiously:
"There's someone in there! I can faintly hear someone breathing! Quick, we have to speed up and rescue them!"
Hearing this, the other people in the team seemed a little hesitant.
Liu Yingmei frowned and asked loudly:
"How can you be so sure? This place is so quiet you can hear a pin drop. There's no sound of people at all. Don't waste precious human resources here!"
As soon as Liu Yingmei heard Qin Wan's crisp and slightly anxious voice, she couldn't help but feel annoyed.
It seemed that as long as Qin Wan said something, no matter whether it was right or wrong, she would express her opposition without hesitation.
The soldiers beside him were also stunned when they heard this:
What the military wife said was right. They have been through many battles and often participate in various dangerous tasks. They should have a more acute perception of danger and abnormal situations.
However, at this moment, even these well-trained soldiers could not detect any signs of life. How did this seemingly weak military wife do it?
Is it true that as the military wife just said, this was just a momentary illusion of her?
