"The aftershocks came suddenly and violently, and many guards were injured. We are short-handed. Therefore, the teams digging for supplies have temporarily stopped their work and are fully assisting the guards in rescuing our compatriots who are buried under the rubble."
After saying that, Qin Yuncheng looked up at the sky and sighed, "Misfortunes never come singly. Who knows what other changes might occur? So, everyone, hurry up and do your best to rescue our comrades."
Team One, you are responsible for the search and rescue work from Qinlinhe to Langang section.
Team Two, you are responsible for the search and rescue operation from Shuguang Street to Yeqiu Bridge.
Team Three, you're in charge...
......
Each team should bring medical personnel with them when they depart, prioritizing saving lives over treating the wounded.
"yes!"
After making the arrangements, Qin Yuncheng led a team to the scene.
Zhou Qi followed closely behind. On the way, he asked a nurse in the medical team, "How are the injured people in our team? Are they serious?"
The nurse blinked repeatedly, thinking, "How would I know who's in your line?"
"Who are you talking about?" the nurse asked.
"Oh dear, look at my memory. I must have really been blasted by the aftershocks today. I'm completely out of it." Zhou Qi slapped his forehead, somewhat annoyed. Seeing everyone staring at him, he said, "It's Zhu Shiliang, Huo Mengwei, and a few others. They were together."
The nurse nodded. "I remember they were among the first to go back for treatment after the aftershocks. Most of them had skin injuries and external bleeding, and the most serious ones were fractures. They'll recover with rest and there's no danger to their lives."
Zhou Qi breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. Compared to other teams, their team was incredibly lucky.
Not long after, Zhou Qi met up with Li Gangtie, and then they gathered their men to go find Shen Yanming and the others.
Shen Yanming was moving large cement blocks when Zhou Qi arrived with a group of people.
After he gave a brief explanation, everyone learned about the upcoming work arrangements.
It was at this moment that Shen Yanming learned that the professionally trained guards used more than just smart wristbands for location tracking during rescues. Because they were worried about missing someone who had lost consciousness, they also used high-tech methods such as life detectors and snake-eye sensors.
However, these processes take some time and are not as fast and accurate as signals from a smart bracelet.
Moreover, they don't use the same simple and crude methods as when they dig for resources themselves. They have tools like hydraulic shears and small air cushions, unlike them, who only have their hands left besides shovels and hoes.
Sigh, you really can't compare people. These non-professionals are only good at digging for resources.
They couldn't even dig for supplies as fast as the others.
Looking at the professionals' skillful movements, Shen Yanming was somewhat suspicious. Could it be that they were brought here just to test their work attitude and see if they were qualified to join the guard team?
It has to be said that Shen Yanming was right, because the guards didn't expect them to do much work at all. The supplies they dug up each day were just a drop in the ocean for Su City.
However, there's a saying that goes, "Many a little makes a mickle," so it's good to have them helping out.
Let's not talk about them anymore, because the second phase of rescue efforts in Dongcheng is already underway in an orderly manner.
Meanwhile, the southern city was in chaos.
It's not that no one in the south organized a rescue effort; rather, they couldn't find their "Southern City Fairy."
It was Yuan Ruoxi's fault for insisting on bringing that male celebrity along on the mission. Li Sikai disagreed, so she threw a tantrum and refused to let him come.
Left with no other choice, Li Sikai had to compromise. However, still harboring resentment, he followed from a distance.
When the aftershocks came, Li Sikai could have dodged them, but after years of training, some things were ingrained in his bones.
Don't be fooled by his words that he would prioritize his own safety and not worry about Yuan Ruoxi when there was danger. In reality, he rushed to save Yuan Ruoxi without even thinking.
Because they were near a building that had partially collapsed, when an aftershock struck, bricks and rubble from the upper floors fell down in a flurry, hitting them painfully.
Yuan Ruoxi and her male celebrity seemed to be stunned at the time. Instead of running away, they stood there dodging the falling objects.
They didn't even hear Li Sikai shout "Run!"
With no other option, Li Sikai risked being buried and ran towards Yuan Ruoxi. When he got close, he grabbed her arm and ran towards the open space.
But he forgot that there was a male celebrity next to Yuan Ruoxi.
It wasn't that he forgot, but rather that Li Sikai felt he didn't have the ability to escape danger with two people at the same time. Besides, as a grown man, couldn't he have followed behind and run away?
The male celebrity knew, of course, but for a moment he was annoyed. Why couldn't Li Sikai pull him along when he was pulling Yuan Ruoxi along?
But he didn't have time to think, because the wall behind him had already begun to collapse, and chunks of cement and steel bars hit his back, until something hit his calf, and he felt like his bones were about to break.
The male celebrity slowed down, thinking, "I can't escape. I'm going to die."
But he was unwilling. If it weren't for that damned Yuan Ruoxi tempting him, he would still be happily cuddling with his wife. How could he possibly accompany this lunatic to such a dangerous place?
At that moment, the male celebrity became ruthless, thinking, "Since I'm going to die, then you who dragged me here will be buried with me!"
So he lunged forward and grabbed Yuan Ruoxi's ankle, pulling her down.
Li Sikai, who was pulling Yuan Ruoxi along, also stumbled several steps.
Li Sikai turned around, and before he could even see what was happening, a deluge of bricks and stones rained down, burying the three of them in the ruins.
In an instant, all three of them fainted.
Then, the world fell silent.
As for Li Sikai's teammates, none of them came today because of Yuan Ruoxi's rejection, and it was precisely because of this that they all escaped a disaster.
They thought that with such a strong aftershock, the two would surely come back to help, but several hours passed and they still hadn't seen them.
At this moment, everyone became anxious, not only because of Yuan Ruoxi, a spatial ability user, but also because of Li Sikai, a guard from the capital.
Unable to find them, Li Sikai's teammates immediately went to the person in charge of the South City area, requesting to use a signal receiver to locate Li Sikai and Yuan Ruoxi. However, to their disappointment, after restarting the machine several times, they still couldn't receive a signal from the two.
It seems they've most likely perished.
The South City Guard was in a panic. That was a space ability user! What were they going to do?
Li Sikai's teammates' faces darkened. What else could they do but search for him?
