Chu Beichen led his men walking in the rain. Everyone was cold and hungry and had no way to eat. As soon as they opened their mouths, the cold rain water poured straight into their stomachs.
One soldier had his leg broken by a falling rock. Chu Beichen had no choice but to leave him on the side of the road and put the team's red flag next to him so that any passing rescue team could see him.
They walked like this for more than two hours in the wind and rain. Everyone's clothes were no longer of their original color and were covered in mud.
The rain gradually subsided. Chu Beichen checked the coordinates and determined that the epicenter was about two kilometers away. "Everyone, hurry up! We're about to enter Muke Village!"
Mukezhaizi is the epicenter of the earthquake. It is a small town that used to be a military garrison with a population of about 30,000 to 40,000.
Everyone quickly entered the residential area. Chu Beichen once again confirmed the coordinates. After confirming that they were correct, everyone ignored their fatigue and began to collect data, preparing to report the situation to their superiors.
The heavy rain finally stopped. Chu Beichen sat in a pile of rubble and made a satellite call to the headquarters, reporting all the information he had collected along the way, including the route map.
"Comrade Chu Beichen, you have done a great job. The data you provided is very valuable. Now you should stay where you are and wait for the follow-up personnel to arrive and start the rescue work!" The superiors quickly issued new instructions.
Chu Beichen said firmly, "I guarantee to complete the task!"
At this time, the members of the spearhead squad who entered together had already started rescue work and began digging out buildings where there might be survivors.
By midnight, everyone had been working for more than ten hours. The visibility was too poor. Seeing that the energy of the light source was about to run out, Chu Beichen ordered everyone to rest on the spot.
The members of this spearhead squad huddled together with the survivors and the rescued people and fell asleep in the mud.
Chu Beichen fell asleep almost as soon as he closed his eyes. The ground was very cold, but he was so tired that he was not picky about the environment.
Chu Beichen was awakened by the crying of a child, which gave him the illusion that he was on a train, traveling a long distance with Su Nian. However, his body was numb from the cold. He slowly opened his eyes and finally realized where he was.
Not far away, there was a woman holding a child, anxiously coaxing the child. It seemed that the child was hungry.
Chu Beichen only had compressed biscuits and canned beef on him, which were obviously not suitable for a child without teeth.
In the end, I had to give the child some compressed biscuits soaked in purified water. I don’t know if the child will have diarrhea after eating it!
Supplies still need to come in as soon as possible! Chu Beichen looked at the direction he came from. Another night has passed. I wonder if there will be any new changes today.
The supplies they have now are what they brought with them. The same situation applies to several other rescue teams. If there are no new supplies, it will only be enough for these people on the scene to eat for one day. After one day, they will be out of food and water!
Chu Beichen sat up and stretched his numb body. After all, he was a young man, and his blood circulation started again, and he quickly regained his vitality.
"Director, let's go over there today!" Duan Jinhu walked over and pointed to a pile of ruins not far away.
That area of ruins was where the crowds of people were concentrated. Unfortunately, there was a big crack in the ground. The visibility was very poor last night, and there were no professional tools, so the spearhead squad did not dare to go over.
