Chapter 50 A friend in need is a friend indeed



Jiang Yufeng landed right next to the machinery factory's staff quarters, and as soon as he landed he was surrounded by a group of people.

"Comrade, please save my child!"

"Comrade, my mother is still trapped in the house. She's eighty years old!"

"Comrade, my father is a veteran, and his life or death is still uncertain!"

"Comrade, I'm kneeling down for you, please!"

As one person knelt down, the onlookers began to kneel down one after another.

When faced with such a major disaster, these ordinary people don’t know what to do.

They only knew that the young and handsome man in green military uniform in front of them was their savior and their hope.

Facing the huge crowd of people kneeling around him, Jiang Yufeng couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

Although he thinks he has seen a lot of the world, deep down he is just a big boy who just turned 18!

"My fellow villagers, hurry up, hurry up! This can't happen! And I still have work to do. The most urgent thing is to restore our communication with the outside world so that we can save more people."

"Yes, yes, yes, everyone, get out of the way, don't delay our military comrades from their work!"

Soon, the crowd dispersed to form a passage, and Jiang Yufeng skillfully opened his backpack and set up the radio.

When the radio station started to search for signals, all the onlookers held their breath, fearing that louder breathing would disturb the signal.

"Command Center, this is Huairen County Machinery Factory. Please respond if you hear me. Please respond if you hear me."

"Command Center has received this. What's the situation at the machinery factory?"

When they heard the voice from the radio, everyone's eyes were filled with tears of excitement, as this meant they were saved.

Jiang Yufeng briefly reported the situation, left a few former leaders of the machinery factory to guard the radio station, and walked around the family compound of the machinery factory to observe the situation so that he could report to the command center more accurately.

When he saw the collapsed family buildings and the people standing in front of the ruins crying with numb faces, Jiang Yufeng's heart ached inexplicably.

Suddenly, Jiang Yufeng saw a man in the distance doing something different from the others. That man was using his not-so-broad shoulders to push up a broken pillar.

Sweat streamed down his face, completely soaking through his clothes. His hands and arms were covered in wounds of varying sizes.

"Comrade, what are you doing?"

When Du Shuisheng heard someone asking him, he didn't even raise his head, because he had no strength left at the moment. The only thing that supported him in holding up the pillar was his breath.

If he answered the comrade's question now, the pillar would surely fall down again. He could not fall down, nor let go, because his parents and daughter were under the rubble.

Although Du Shuisheng knew that it would be useless even if he held up the pillar here, he knew that he could not sit idle now, otherwise he would collapse.

When Jiang Yufeng saw that Du Shuisheng did not answer but instead used all his strength to prop up the pillar, he understood what was going on.

At this moment, he also wanted to help Du Shuisheng, but he couldn't. If he didn't report it in time, it would delay the rescue of more people.

Although it is cruel, we have to admit that time is life now.

All Jiang Yufeng can do now is to quickly report the specific matters to the command center and then come back to save people.

Thinking of this, he went somewhere else without looking back.

After quickly looking around, Jiang Yufeng returned the same way and reported the situation here to the command center.

Adhering to the principle of rescuing those buried nearby first, that is, "near first, far later", Jiang Yufeng ran quickly towards Du Shuisheng.

"Comrade, let me help you."

Just when Du Shuisheng was about to give up, Jiang Yufeng's voice rang in his ears.

Jiang Yufeng didn't delay at all. While speaking, he helped Du Shuisheng lift the pillar and carefully put it aside.

As the pillar was moved to the open space, Du Shuisheng also fell to the ground. He tried to get up, but Jiang Yufeng quickly stopped him.

"Don't worry, comrade. I'm here, and there are more people coming. Your family will be fine."

Hearing Jiang Yufeng's words, Du Shuisheng turned his head and looked at Jiang Yufeng. Yes, this kid was wearing a military uniform, so he must be a member of the army.

Du Shuisheng: Mom, Dad, wife, Yingying, you must wait for me, the rescuers are here.

"Comrade, you...you must save my parents and children."

Du Shuisheng was crying as he spoke, feeling as helpless as a child. Who says men don't cry? It's just that he hasn't felt sad enough yet.

"Comrade, rest assured. We will do our best to rescue them. Now I need you to calm down so I can determine where the person in need of help is."

"Okay, okay."

After Du Shuisheng finished speaking, he covered his mouth with his hands, for he was afraid that he would delay the time to rescue his family.

After summarizing the situation and terrain reports from Jiang Yufeng and other soldiers, the command center has already understood the basic situation at the epicenter.

Now time is life. With the order from the command center, the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Airborne Regiments, totaling more than 4,000 people, carrying simple crowbars and other tools, descended from the sky like gods descending to earth.

When the support troops arrived in large numbers, Jiang Yufeng arranged everyone to go to the rescue in an orderly manner.

Du Shuisheng also endured the pain and supported himself on the ground with his hands, and immediately joined the rescue team.

As more and more people joined the rescue, people buried under the rubble were rescued one by one. Every time someone was rescued, Du Shuisheng would run over to take a look.

Although the people rescued were not his family members, as he looked at the familiar faces that were rescued one by one, the fire of hope in Du Shuisheng's heart burned brighter and brighter.

He did not give up in his heart. A force of life was supporting him. He could not fall down because Yingying and his parents were still waiting for his rescue.

But I have to say that the shock-proof bed played a big role here.

Because it was the family compound of a machinery factory, earthquake-proof beds were standard equipment in almost every household. At the moment the earthquake occurred, many people were buried directly in their rooms or on their beds.

The earthquake-proof bed supported most of the force of the collapse, and almost every survivor was thanks to the earthquake-proof bed.

Seeing that the earthquake outside had ended, Du Wanying hurried out of the space. She really wanted to see how her grandparents were doing, but she was powerless in the current situation.

The collapsed area around it has completely buried this small room.

She shouted with all her strength, and vaguely heard faint sounds coming from her grandparents' room.

No matter what the situation is, as long as grandpa and grandma are alive, Du Wanying continued to shout for help, "Help, help, is there anyone?"
