Chapter 68: Working Together to Assist
Although Gong Hao and the others had already withdrawn, he agreed to their request. After all, they were not the only ones trapped here, and everyone was now in the same boat.
Gong Hao had previous experience and training in earthquake self-rescue, and he knew how to analyze and judge the degree of ground subsidence to determine which way to go. Although it was not 100% accurate, there was at least a glimmer of hope. Captain Chen asked him to help lead the way. There were risks, but there was no other way but to ask them for help.
They discussed the previous situation. Afterward, Uncle Gong spoke to her again, wanting to hear her opinion. This move surprised Captain Chen and the others. They were even more surprised when Gong Hao introduced her to them! But it was just surprise, without any other expression of disrespect or contempt.
"My name is Xia Chuxiao, captain of the Purple Dye Team." Xia Chuxiao accepted their gazes and introduced herself. As for the rest, they had already discussed it, so they didn't say much.
Captain Chen and his men also responded politely, and then when they saw the person next to her, they immediately showed a hint of respect and saluted.
Xia Chuxiao was keenly aware of their changes and every move towards the people around them. She glanced at Gong Yuhan, wanting to find out what was going on, only to see him give her a wicked smile.
Some survivors were in the middle of the cracks on both sides of the ground, which were more than one meter away from the safe ground. It took the army a long time to rescue them.
After the troops rescued some of the survivors, Captain Chen said solemnly, "Let's set off now!"
"I won't be here long, and I don't know if there will be aftershocks."
Gong Hao looked at him solemnly and nodded. Liu Fang was originally against it, but thinking that they would have to walk across the highway eventually, she didn't object.
Xia Chuxiao knew that they asked Uncle Gong to explore the way, and she felt a little worried. After all, the explorer would be the first to go. But fortunately, the cracks on the highway were not so serious that it was impossible to pass through. Fortunately, they left the section of the road that was high up in the mountains, otherwise it would be really terrible!
But she heard a loud noise, the sound of the highway on that section of road being cut off.
The signal was interrupted and the army could not send out distress messages. Some equipment was also lost. Even Gong Yuhan, a computer expert, said that the signal could not be connected. The rest could only rely on them.
Xia Chuxiao thought of something and called them, "Wait, I have a request."
Captain Chen waited, looked at her and said, "You say..."
"Team Ziran must follow ahead." She didn't want to separate them. Who knew if the survivors would cooperate? She, who was exploring the way, would also do so.
“Okay, we’ll leave in ten minutes.”
Xia Chuxiao asked everyone to get ready and eat something to fill their stomachs. It was already afternoon and no one had eaten anything.
…
A moment's time.
Captain Chen made all the arrangements and asked the survivors to cooperate. They certainly couldn't take their cars and other things with them, so some survivors had to abandon their cars. The soldiers in the army with space abilities could take back the large trucks, but they could only take back a few. It just so happened that one soldier with space abilities could only take back one large truck.
"Let's go!" a loud voice rang out.
Then, hundreds of people on the highway quickly formed a curved and straight line, and the survivors followed step by step. Some survivors held umbrellas, some wore hats and covered their heads, and some had no hats and nothing to block the drizzle. Gusts of drizzle and cold wind blew, and some survivors shivered with cold.
Xia Chuxiao and his group walked in the front, while the army was divided into several teams, interspersed in the middle and at the back of the survivors' team.
At present, these soldiers are still responsible. At least they did not abandon the survivors, even if it was just to complete the mission.
"Xia girl, why don't you let me go in front?"
"No need, Uncle Gong, just tell me. I know a little bit about detection."
“Also, there are detection instruments.”
It was thanks to her that she collected this thing. Actually, it belonged to someone. She collected this thing when she collected robots. Those robots are now in the space. She hasn't used up all the robots. She only used one, and it can help with cleaning and other work. Farming is a bit difficult, and she has to keep an eye on it from time to time.
In the end, she only turned on one machine, which she had just turned on and used last night. She was overexcited last night and turned it on just thinking about watering the seeds.
When Gong Hao heard her say that, he gave up and told them to be careful.
"Um"
Captain Chen had a new understanding of her and recognized this young lady Xia, who was knowledgeable, courageous and brave. He sighed in his heart: There are more talented people than the previous generation.
Xia Chuxiao and Gong Yuhan walked in the front, pushing the equipment. Light rain and cold wind blew by. Fortunately, they were wearing glasses and masks, so the rain did not hit their faces. The whole team was as slow as a turtle.
There were noisy sounds and cries of fear and cold. Some of the timid survivors trembled and fell to the side. Some survivors looked at the gap and could not bear the panic and cold, and their bodies lost balance and fell down.
There were even some arrogant survivors who wanted to go forward and die alone, but some survivors encountered some problems, and finally the army controlled the survivors to prevent them from going alone.
The team walked and stopped, and encountered some fallen trees that blocked their way. They picked out a few control-type psychics and used their powers to move the trees away before they continued walking.
"Everyone be careful," Xia Chuxiao said to the people behind her from time to time, and also reminded them of places to avoid.
Feng Pan looked at the cracks, his head was full. He wiped the sweat off his face and said grumblingly, "Fortunately, I didn't encounter any zombies, otherwise it would be troublesome."
"Don't be such a pessimist," Nangong Ling said bluntly behind him.
It wasn't until hordes of zombies attacked that he realized he should have stopped thinking about it.
A few people chatted again.
Gong Yuhan said: "Stop talking so much, I'll leave the zombie attack to you guys to deal with later."
His tone carried a hint of pressure. Feng Pan and the others knew he was talking about them, so they immediately shut up.
I don’t know how long I walked!
It was not until they heard the sound of collapse again that they realized they had been walking for a long time.
Xia Chuxiao and the other person stopped, looked up at the sky, wiped the mist off their glasses, and then put them back on.
The road ahead was not cracked so much by the earthquake, just a little bit, and the ground in many sections was flat and not cracked by the earthquake. This was a good thing for them.
The highways in this area are all in mountainous areas. After driving for a long time, there are still small hills and forests on both sides of the highway.
"But fortunately" fortunately no zombies appeared.
“We finally passed the dangerous section.”
"Well! Xiaoxiao is so amazing!" Gong Yuhan's doting voice sounded.
It's so magnetic and nice that her ears are almost pregnant. It feels so soft~
"Yeah." Xia Chuxiao smiled and looked at him. Of course she was happy when someone praised her!
At this time, the sky gradually darkened and it was almost night. It was dangerous at night, so Xia Chuxiao asked everyone to keep up with the pace quickly and speed up now.
