Chapter 337 Earthquake. Niu Li was scolded
Chu An escorted them all the way to the ground, pretending to shake off the stones on the drone, and the stones were collected into the space as they sank into darkness.
She stood up from the ground and handed the drone to Hu Yang. "I just hurt my waist and need to rest for a while. This is for you."
Uh…well, okay.
Wang Guan had already seen Chu An, and when he looked at the drone she handed over, he felt infinite gratitude in his heart, which eventually turned into a military salute.
Without the drone, he would never have made it to the rescuers.
Chu An smiled faintly, pretended to rub her waist as she walked back, and when she looked up, she saw Li Qing and Yin Tianlin standing at the door, looking at her intently.
Ah, it seems like an hour has passed. Su Ye’s operation is probably completed.
She walked up the steps and the militiamen guarding the gate saluted her with tears in their eyes. They were so happy that their captain was still alive.
Chu An could only smile awkwardly, and then Li Qing grabbed him back and asked in a low voice, "Why did you go out?"
"I happened to have a drone, so I helped them confirm the location of the survivors. By the way, is Su Ye's surgery finished?"
Li Qing and Yin Tianlin dragged her back and said, "Not yet, let's talk upstairs later."
"good."
There are too many people here, so it's really inconvenient to talk, but as I walked a little bit, it became less crowded.
She looked up and found that people on both sides were moving back, trying to make way for her, with smiles on their faces, and some even gave her a thumbs-up.
…
The rescue was over and all four members of the joint defense team who had fallen were rescued. However, the two unconscious members were seriously injured and required emergency surgery, so they had to be temporarily sent to the shelter where the hospital was still usable.
Wang Guan had a dislocated arm and multiple soft tissue abrasions all over his body. He was completely exhausted and fell asleep after reporting the situation to Niu Li.
Among them, Liu Cixin is in the best condition, but his legs are still cramping and he can't walk.
The floating bridge was rebuilt, and the people still crossed it in groups of six, led by members of the joint defense team. This time, there was no crowding and everything was in order.
Niu Li and Bai Ruoyu were discussing the next rescue plan. In the past, the military force could build a floating bridge on the river for tanks to pass within 10 minutes.
But now... the elite troops have already supported other cities, the weapons and equipment are inadequate, and even the joint defense team has many civilians who have been recruited later, so rescue is not easy.
At this time, Xiao Jiang walked up to her shyly.
"explain."
"Um... the base commander wants you to come over for a moment."
Niu Li frowned, still haunted, "What's going on this time?"
Xiao Jiang was vague, "It seems to be... about shooting at civilians."
Niu Li sighed. She knew she couldn't avoid this, but she didn't expect it to happen so soon. She turned to Bai Ruoyu and said, "Deputy Base Commander Bai, I'll leave this to you first."
Bai Ruoyu was also quite helpless, "I may not be able to help you with this matter..."
"I know what's going on." Niu Li saluted him, turned around and looked at the tent not far away, her eyes were sharp, and she didn't worry about herself at all.
"Xiao Jiang"
"exist."
"How is the preparation for plan B going?"
"All ready."
"Immediate execution."
Xiao Jiang ran away as ordered. Niu Li led another subordinate to a tent not far away. Baili Lu happened to be standing at the door and nodded at her, "Thank you for your hard work."
Niu Li saluted as a response.
Someone lifted the curtain for her.
There was only a long conference table in the tent. Lian Yi was sitting at the innermost table, looking at the list of people in the hospital. Behind him stood Wang Desheng, who looked very proud.
She calmed herself down and walked in. Before she could stand firm, she was hit in the face by the list thrown by Lian Yi. The sharp piece of paper scratched her cheek, leaving a blood mark immediately.
"Special team leader Niu Li, reporting."
The loud voice, the standard military salute and the sharp eyes showed no trace of timidity.
Lian Yi stared at her, his eyes full of anger, "Did you give the order to shoot at the civilians?"
Niu Li's eyes trembled slightly, and she simply admitted, "Yes."
Bang——
Lian Yi slammed the table and stood up, with such force that the lid of the teacup next to him fell off.
"You...you, you have no intention of repenting at all." He paced back and forth angrily, spitting everywhere. "How dare you shoot at civilians? You are a soldier of the people, responsible for protecting the people. Are you worthy of the uniform you wear? Are you worthy of the country's training of you and the people's trust in you?"
Niu Li did not defend herself. She used to be a police officer and is now a soldier, and she is here to serve the people. But she also did not regret shooting.
Now, as long as I close my eyes, I can see the moment when the crown and the two warriors were dragged down the crack. Why didn't they let go? Why...
If I have any regrets, it's only that I started too late and almost lost my comrades.
Lian Yi was tired of scolding, so he picked up the cup and took a sip of water. "When this rescue is over, you will get out of here. You are not worthy of being a soldier at all."
Niu Li saluted again, "Yes."
Then he turned and left.
"Wait, did I let you go?" Lian Yi put the cup heavily on the table. "You are so disorganized and undisciplined. I don't know who taught you that."
"Didn't you say that you were trained by the country? Do you have doubts about the country?" When Niu Li got angry, she was like a buffalo.
"You." If Lian Yi's eyes could spit fire, Niu Li would have been a piece of charcoal.
"Base commander, calm down, we still have important things to do!" Wang Desheng hurriedly comforted him.
Lian Yi narrowed his eyes and stared at Niu Li for a while, thinking that he would have to get rid of her sooner or later. He slowly came to his senses, "Captain Niu, send your people into the hospital now and rescue the people on the list first."
"What list?"
"The one on the ground."
Niu Li picked up the list, which contained all the rich people and government officials from blocks 1 to 3.
"What does this mean?"
Niu Li did not defend herself because she really violated the oath she took when she joined the team and shot at the people. But it was absolutely impossible for her to be a puppet of capital.
"This is an order, you have no right to object." Lian Yi looked at her with disdain, "Don't think your old leader can still support you. It's not certain whether they can get out alive."
Director Wang, Director Li, and Zhang Zhao are all in the hospital.
Wang Desheng added at the right time, "If you don't do it, there are many people who want to do it. Think about it before you answer."
Niu Li held the list tightly. She disdained this position, but she couldn't give up her power now.
"Yes." Niu Li saluted, turned and walked out of the tent, and immediately went to discuss the matter with Bai Ruoyu.
Bai Ruoyu took the list and pointed at the names of several people on it, "They have indeed made great contributions to the base, so they can be arranged in the front. Captain Niu, the natural disaster is so severe, we should really put the overall situation first.
Of course, I am not asking you to abandon the people, but these people can provide them with safe housing and basic living security.”
Niu Li also understands this, but others depend on her mood.
"Deputy Base Commander Bai, this may be my last mission. He will not let me go after the rescue is over."
Bai Ruoyu frowned, "Do what you should do and what you want to do. I'll take care of everything else."
Niu Li nodded, turned her gaze towards the base hospital, and regained her fierce momentum.
