Some medical staff fainted at the rescue site because they could not bear it anymore, but no one had the time to pay attention to them and could only put them aside to rest.
Ultimately, the body has reached its limit, and coma is just the body's self-recovery.
The large-scale rescue operation lasted for more than half a month, during which time there were more than a dozen aftershocks.
Every day the tents were knocked down several times by aftershocks, but no one had time to be afraid. They would immediately set up the fallen tents and remember the work at hand.
After the aftershocks completely ended, the rescue work was also nearing completion.
It’s not that everyone under the rubble has been rescued, but it’s been more than half a month since the first earthquake. Even if there are still people, they will only be corpses. The probability of them being alive is really too small.
Although the number of casualties this time was large, it was nothing compared to what was recorded in history books.
The death toll was 4,071, with more than 40,000 seriously injured, not counting those with minor injuries.
Although the government had revealed the news of the earthquake long ago to remind the general public to stay vigilant at all times.
But the earthquake came too quickly, and although some people ran out, they were crushed by the collapsed walls.
Or fall into a crack in the ground.
It's no joke that all the buildings in an entire city collapsed in an instant.
Natural disasters are not something humans can change, and we are fortunate to be able to reduce the number of casualties.
If the death toll is really over 200,000 and the injuries are over 160,000 as in history, it is hard to imagine how many families will experience the grief of losing their loved ones.
Although the rescue is over, neither the rescue soldiers nor the medical staff will leave for the time being.
All the buildings were reduced to ruins, and the people who lost their homes could only sleep on the ground.
Despite early preparations, many parts of the country were affected by the disaster.
The supplies needed by millions of people are not a small number, but they can ensure that everyone has basic food and clothing. The rest can only be overcome.
People who are in good health and not injured will go to the ruins during the day to pick up undamaged items, as well as daily necessities and food.
The strong laborers had to follow the People's Liberation Army to clear the ruins, and all facilities needed to be rebuilt.
One can imagine the bodies being placed in the square waiting for their families to claim them.
Even if family members come to claim the bodies, they cannot be buried in time because the entire city has become ruins. All bodies must be cremated first, and then the family members can come to claim the ashes after the city is rebuilt.
Even though many people do not accept cremation, there is no other way now.
---
Jiang Mengxue has been a little free recently, just like before when she was so busy that she couldn't stop.
It was only then that she realized that Mo Bao was also involved in the rescue.
Because of the high-intensity rescue work some time ago, Mo Bao's feet were covered with blisters and various scars.
In addition, my skin was soaked by water due to the rain, so I had to endure the pain and continue working.
Now that I finally have some free time, my comrades have helped me come to see a doctor to get cleaned and given some medicine.
He never told his family when he was injured in the army, whether during training or on a mission.
We can't see each other anyway, and telling my family will only make more people worry.
He thought about his parents participating in rescue work in the future, but he didn't expect to meet them in such a big place like Tangshan.
However, to his surprise, Jiang Mengxue did not show much emotion when she was treating his wounds.
One of them stood inside the tent and the other stood outside the tent. At that time, he was still worried about what would happen if his mother got too excited after seeing his wound.
In fact, Jiang Mengxue felt a little distressed.
This is his own child, a child who has been raised and pampered by his family since childhood. When has he ever suffered such hardship?
She imagined that Mo Bao's daily training in the army would be very hard, and that he would face various dangers when on missions.
She believed that she was mentally prepared and could accept some situations that might happen in the future.
But it’s not the same as seeing it in person.
There is not a single piece of good skin on the soles of the feet. The blistered areas will break and bleed due to long-term friction.
Because the wound had been soaked in sewage for a long time, it became infected and pus was oozing out. You could tell how painful it was just by looking at it.
But Mo Bao's expression did not change from beginning to end. He did not feel any pain. Except for the instinctive twitching of his calf when the wound was being treated, his face showed no pain at all.
Jiang Mengxue knew that he didn't want to make her worry.
Since she had agreed to let him join the army, there was no way she would hold him back in any situation.
Carefully clean the wounds on both feet, apply the medicine with the powder you ground yourself, and then wrap the entire foot with gauze.
In this situation, you definitely cannot participate in the rescue. It would be very dangerous if the wound gets infected.
There are three beds in this tent, and Mo Bao lies on the one at the very edge.
"Just lie down. This situation can't continue. You won't be able to get out of bed for at least ten days or half a month."
Mo Bao was not surprised, as he knew this would be the result before coming.
"I know, Mom."
The comrade who brought him here widened his eyes.
"Captain, this isn't good, is it? Although saving a life is like reborn as a parent, your situation isn't that serious yet. There's no need for us to recognize a mother!"
Jiang Mengxue turned around to place the gauze and tape, and burst out laughing when she heard what he said.
"Yeah, why do you call me mom just because I bandaged your wound?"
Mo Bao was helpless. What kind of evil taste did he have? Could it be that he didn't want to recognize him anymore?
He didn't dare to say anything to his mother, so he just stared blankly at the young man next to him.
"Sun Dahong, this is my biological mother. I don't need your help. Just go and do your thing."
