Chapter 25 Your eyesight is not good
"Don't look for them anymore. Wait for the official rescue team to come and use the machines to dig them out."
When Qiao Lan and the other two were trying to search in the ruins, several students with dusty faces and tattered clothes came over. They were all injured and limping, and some of their wounds were still bleeding.
"We've been through this building twice. I'm the only one who survived. I was trapped in the gap between two walls. Luckily, I didn't die. As for the others... the wind has died down for over an hour, and I haven't seen anyone come out alive."
A boy with a sad face said.
One of his arms was broken, and he randomly wrapped it around and around with strips of cloth he found in the ruins to fix it up.
The cloth was soaked with blood, and his face was pale and weak.
In this way, he and other surviving students formed a self-rescue team to search for surviving classmates in the collapsed building.
There are six people in their team, two of whom were rescued not long ago.
There are still more than ten such self-rescue teams on campus, with about a hundred people scattered everywhere.
But the wind was too strong last night and the building collapsed too completely. There were not many survivors, and our ability to dig people out with our bare hands was limited. We worked for over an hour but didn't save many.
"I have two classmates here, in dormitory 303." Upon hearing this, Xiao Li couldn't help crying again.
"303, roughly over there." The boy pointed in the direction.
That was the worst damaged part of the building.
It is squeezed in the middle by bricks and stones above, below, left and right, with no gaps.
Xiao Li's face turned pale when he saw it.
If my classmates were still there, I'm afraid...
"Time is running out." Qiao Lan looked at his watch.
There are less than twenty minutes until the next wind starts, so we must leave as soon as possible to reach a sheltered area.
"Hurry up and go to the new media building, don't hang around outside." Qiao Lan once again used the excuse of having a friend at the Meteorological Bureau to warn the students in the self-rescue team to go to the strongest place in the school building before the wind comes.
"Really!"
When several students heard this, they all took it very seriously.
After all, the wind was so scary last night. If it happens again...
"Quick, let's split up and notify the other self-rescue teams to go to the new media building!"
Several people made the same decision and went to look for other students separately.
Qiao Lan sighed secretly.
Young students who have not been exposed to society always instinctively want to do good things and save others.
They are also the first group to be eliminated after the end of the world begins.
No matter how young or healthy you are, if you're not smart enough, you'll be easily scammed. In the apocalypse, being scammed can lead to your death.
"Wait a minute!"
Qiao Lan called out to the students.
He ran to the other side of the ruins, took cover from the broken walls, and pulled out three bicycles and three loudspeakers from the space.
I bought all of them when I was stocking up yesterday.
She really bought all sorts of things.
"Go by bike and use a loud speaker to call people. This is more efficient. Remember, you must get to the new media building within 20 minutes. The windy time my friend at the Meteorological Bureau mentioned is about to start."
She handed the bikes and megaphones to several students.
There were six of them, one riding a bike and one sitting on the back, which was just right to be divided into three groups.
"Where did you find this?"
The students were shocked.
How come they didn’t know there were brand new bicycles among the ruins?
"Hey, isn't it behind the wall over there? It's not locked. Didn't you see it before?" Qiao Lan looked confused.
"No, no..." The students were even more confused.
They must have searched this building twice.
"Your eyesight is really bad," Qiao Lan urged. "Hurry up, time is running out. Remember, twenty minutes!"
"good!"
The students did not dare to delay any longer, put aside their doubts, and quickly rode away on their bikes.
The lightly injured people rode their bikes in three different directions, while the seriously injured people sitting in the back held loud speakers and shouted loudly, spreading the news that a strong wind was about to come.
I hope they are safe.
Qiao Lan got in the car and said, "Let's go too."
Xiao Li took one last look at the ruins of the dormitory building and sat in the back seat.
The motorcycle rushed out.
She hugged Qiao Lan tightly.
After a while, Qiao Lan felt that the clothes on his back were wet.
This girl is crying.
He turned around and looked at Xiao Tang who was driving closely beside him.
The young man's face was stiff, his lips were tightly pursed, and there were obvious veins on his forehead.
He usually doesn't talk much, and at this moment, he hasn't spoken for a long time.
Qiao Lan said nothing. At this point, there was no point in trying to persuade him.
Let them digest what they saw and heard on their own.
Qiao Lan drove the motorcycle very fast, bumping left and right, jumping up and down on the messy road, avoiding piles of bricks and stones, scrapped cars, and those horrific corpses, and drove towards a kindergarten a few miles away.
Woohoo, woohoo, woohoo…
Ula Ula Ula...
Woo… Woo… Woo…
The sounds of police cars, fire trucks, and ambulances were heard on the road, some far away and some near.
Since the wind started blowing last night, the city's 110 and 120 telephones have been flooded with calls. In some places, the strong winds have even caused fires. The 119 firefighting phone has also been busy, but when the wind is strong, cars cannot get out, and the rescue workers are also anxious.
The wind stopped not long ago, and rescue vehicles had to clear the roadblocks first. Except for some police stations that had police officers on motorcycles who went out in advance, other rescue vehicles could not move. They had to clear the road while sending out the vehicles, which was a very slow pace.
After more than an hour of trying, not many cars came out.
Qiao Lan and his companions had been wandering on the street for a long time before they heard the calls for help, which became more frequent.
But this...
The next wind is about to blow.
I'm afraid that not many citizens will be rescued, and these rescue vehicles and the people on board will be killed.
Just then they met a fire truck. Qiao Lan forced it to stop and jumped on it to knock on the glass.
"Hurry up and get to that building over there to take shelter. My third uncle works at the Meteorological Bureau. He just called and told me to get back quickly. He said a second strong wind is coming soon, even more terrifying than the one tonight!"
In order to make the excuse sound more realistic, Qiao Lan fabricated a non-existent third uncle and pointed to the nearest sturdy building to the firefighters in the car.
Then drive away immediately.
The firefighters in the car were stunned, not knowing whether it was true or not.
But, I dare not neglect it.
It’s better to take it seriously, otherwise losing your life is not a joke.
To rescue citizens, you must first ensure that you are alive.
The team leader immediately ordered: "Turn on the loudspeaker and spread the news that the wind is about to rise!"
In order to allow as many citizens as possible to take shelter from the wind early. During the half-day when the wind died down, many people were out and about. Many people whose houses had not collapsed were brave enough to go out to nearby supermarkets to grab supplies.
Then, through internal communication, this group of firefighters informed other colleagues who were dispatched to the scene.
In fact, this is an unverified news. I contacted the Meteorological Bureau but couldn't find anyone to verify it.
The Meteorological Bureau is in chaos now. The strong winds have disrupted the forecast system, and the experts are arguing fiercely but cannot reach a conclusion.
However, a senior leader of the fire protection system, adhering to the principle of believing it is true, did not want his men to sacrifice themselves and bear the guilt of spreading rumors, so he spread the news.
Afterwards, the news was transmitted from the city's fire system to 110 and 120, and all the rescue vehicles on the streets received the news one after another.
As these vehicles retreated, more and more citizens realized that the strong wind was about to come again. Those who were outside immediately hid back, and the survivors whose houses were destroyed tried hard to squeeze into the buildings that had not collapsed.
Qiao Lan brought Xiao Li and Xiao Tang to their destination.
She didn't know that her accidental action on the road had affected many people.
