Chapter 331 Earthquake. Crack
The door on the first floor was forcibly closed by the joint defense team outside, if for no other reason than that most of the people who just rushed out fell into the crack!!!
If you could look down at the base hospital at this time, you would find a Y-shaped crack more than ten meters wide that is stuck at the fork of the hospital.
The base urgently set up an earthquake rescue team, and Niu Li and Wang Guan were assigned to the most dangerous hospital rescue team.
He had just slid over via the rope and immediately organized the first wave of six team members to lay the pontoon bridge. Ten minutes later, the two teams met up and the simple pontoon bridge was completed.
Wang Guan reported to Niu Li, and after receiving instructions, he asked two team members to guard the door and four team members to stand at the edge of the crack in the ground to prevent them from falling.
"Open the door halfway."
The subordinate received the order and blocked the half of the door next to it. As a result, four people squeezed out of the other half as soon as it opened a crack. Fortunately, the joint defense team standing on the edge quickly stopped them and did not fall into the crack. Another person rushed in more fiercely and almost took the joint defense team down with him.
When coming over, Wang Guan anticipated that the crowd would be quite excited, so he had his team members tie ropes around themselves and connect them to the hospital building.
"ah--"
Several people who were almost suffocated had just breathed in fresh air when they were frightened half to death by a crack more than ten meters wide that appeared in front of them.
A slightly plump young man sat on the ground with his legs going limp; a girl hugged the nearest joint defense team member and cried, "You scared me to death..."; the other two were swallowing their saliva.
The people behind tried to squeeze out, but were blocked by two members holding guns at the door. "Don't push, come out one by one."
"Back off, back off." Wang Guan shouted angrily, holding down the gun. "It's dangerous outside. Line up to pass."
Two more people squeezed out, and when they saw the crack, they hurriedly stopped and held onto the door frame. The people behind them also saw it, trembled, and murmured, "The ground... cracked..."
"Let us out, let us out quickly." The people behind didn't know what was happening in front and were afraid of aftershocks, so they kept shouting and accusing each other.
"What's going on? Hurry up and leave."
"My leg is injured. I need to go out. Let me out quickly."
Wang Guan expected chaos, but he didn't expect it to be this chaotic. Seeing that the men were unwilling to go up the bridge, he was afraid of chaos, so he asked his men to close the door again and contacted the higher-ups via intercom, asking the hospital leaders to organize the people first, otherwise if they all rushed out, they would surely die.
Putting down the walkie-talkie, he explained to the first few people who came out how to keep themselves steady on the pontoon and how to hold the ropes on both sides. After making sure that they all understood, he asked a member of the joint defense team to lead the way in front and they followed.
After all five men went up, the only woman said she was afraid of heights and refused to go up the bridge no matter what.
The stalemate lasted for ten minutes, and then Wang Guan was informed that someone from the hospital had intervened and was asked to open the door and release the person.
Wang Guan didn't have time to take care of the girl who was afraid of heights. He asked the three men standing on the edge to be smarter. Even with the ropes, there was no guarantee that it would be foolproof. The people inside were in a hurry to reincarnate, so he didn't take his team members with him.
He stood at the front and counted to himself “three, two, one” before opening the door.
The situation inside was much better this time, at least there was a single column formed at the door.
Leading the group was a little girl, who pursed her lips and had a pale face. Her steps were unsteady as she walked forward, and it was obvious that she had just been squeezed to exhaustion.
As soon as she walked out, the big brother behind her rushed out, knocked her to stagger, and then started to speak the quintessence of the Chinese nation.
"Wait." Wang Guan stopped the third person and signaled his men to let the two of them go up the bridge first.
The five people just walked tremblingly to the middle
"Hurry up...go..." the joint defense team member shouted at the little girl.
"No, I...I can't." She also shrank a little.
The two joint defense team members near the pontoon bridge had no choice but to walk to the edge of the bridge, push off the ground with one foot and step on the bridge with the other, trying to keep it steady.
"Come here quickly, don't delay the people behind you."
"No." The little girl stepped back again and again.
Wang Guan pushed the man who bumped into him and said, "You go."
The man swallowed his saliva, gritted his teeth and walked over, but just after he took two steps, a gust of wind suddenly blew, causing the floating bridge to sway. He was so scared that his legs trembled and he cried and wanted to go back.
Wang Guan closed his eyes and tried his best to control his emotions that were about to go out of control. The crack had doubled in size compared to before. The base hospital could withstand earthquakes, but not cracks.
They built a pontoon on the ground to rescue people, and soon they would send a helicopter to rescue people from the roof, using a two-pronged approach.
Experts predict that if there are more aftershocks, this big hole will get bigger and it is unknown when it will swallow up the hospital.
"Xiao Jiang, take him down for me, send the three of them back to the hospital, and get the others out."
On the other side, Chu An and Hu Zhiyong went down against the flow of pedestrians and squeezed to the second floor below ground. The power system was damaged and the emergency lights were on, but they were very weak. The main power was reserved for the operating room.
There were three doctors and two hospital leaders coming with them to support them. After Hu Zhiyong met up with them, he went to a meeting first, while Chu An continued to look for Li Qing alone.
The second floor below ground was mostly operating rooms, so there were relatively few patients, and there was no one walking around outside at this time. She followed Li Qing's instructions and went to operating room No. 11.
"Girl, girl, where are you going?"
Suddenly, a middle-aged man dressed as a security guard limped out from the corner and waved at her, "Don't go in, there's no one here, go to the first floor and wait for help."
Chu An waited for him to come in and found that his leg was injured, leaving a thin trail of blood as he walked.
"Isn't there someone performing surgery inside? How come there is no one here?"
"Surgery is surgery, there are doctors inside, and there is no one outside now." After saying that, the uncle seemed to remember something and asked hurriedly, "Does any of your family members have surgery inside?"
Chu An nodded.
"Which operating room is it?"
"Number 11."
"You won't be able to help much if you go, so you'd better go out and wait, it's safer. We just received an announcement from above that all those who can move should gather in the lobby on the first floor."
gather?
If we don't gather before we leave for evacuation, isn't this a waste of time? ! !
She felt something was wrong, so she quickly took out her cell phone and searched for the C City base. Sure enough, someone had posted something. That's the good thing about Chinese netizens: they are willing to share everything.
I was shocked by the picture on the homepage before I even clicked on it. A Y-shaped crack, more than ten meters wide and with an unknown length, appeared around the base hospital. Many of the first group of people rushing out of the hospital fell into the crack, and the joint defense team had to close the door.
No wonder the door on the first floor couldn’t be opened just now.
She thought for a moment, found a few more posts, sorted them by time, compared the pictures of the cracks, and instantly broke out in a cold sweat.
There was only one crack at first, about five meters wide. It widened to ten meters in the second shock, and a branch extended to the back of the hospital. The two cracks were converging and merging, and currently only the connection less than half a meter wide remains on the west mountain side.
There is no door on the west side, but there are windows on the second floor. However, the crack in front of the hospital extends to a place that cannot be seen. The crack extending from the back of the building extends forward for more than ten meters, forming a long and narrow bottle-mouth-shaped passage.
Hospitals have become islands.
