Chapter 384 Collapse, Self-blame (Edited)

Yu Wanqing was in charge of the medical work of the Baifeng Brigade. When she and Guo Hongying arrived with Shang Xiayang's team, which was in charge of the rescue work of the Baifeng Brigade, they saw that half of a mountain in the Baifeng Brigade had collapsed.

Shang Xiayang's heart sank when he saw this: "There are many families living at the foot of that mountain."

After saying this, he stepped into the calf-deep water and strode forward.

Seeing this, the people behind him followed one after another. As Shang Xiayang walked, he reminded everyone: "Be sure to pay attention to safety."

It was dark and the water was flowing fast, so I was afraid I would step into a deep pit.

The water flow is quite fast, so the speed is still greatly limited.

Yu Wanqing used her supernatural powers to observe underwater and found that the road all the way to the foot of the mountain was a bit bumpy. She wanted to try whether she could use her supernatural powers to smooth out all the uneven surfaces around her, and she found that she could.

So Shang Xiayang led his people forward and everything went smoothly.

Guo Hongying walked beside Yu Wanqing and whispered, "I don't know how many villages are like Baifeng Brigade."

Yu Wanqing shook her head: "I don't know."

Nanping has many mountains, and many people live at the foot of the mountains. If the mountains collapse, many people will definitely be affected.

She couldn't imagine how serious the consequences would be.

They walked to the center of the village, where people lived densely, and they could hear people's frightened voices everywhere.

These sounds were like a sharp knife stabbing into the hearts of these soldiers.

They walked faster. No matter how heavy the rain was, how deep the water was, or how dangerous the road ahead was, it could not stop them from wanting to save the people.

Shang Xiayang's team started to rescue people. Every time they rescued an injured person, Yu Wanqing and Guo Hongying would provide assistance immediately.

Before rescuing people, Yu Wanqing had used her supernatural powers to protect the lives of those who were covered up. However, the supernatural powers could only last for a limited time. After this time, whether she could rescue people would be up to fate.

Many villagers who got the news also rushed to help.

In Nanping, incidents of varying degrees occurred in many villages.

Some places are low-lying and there were concerns about flooding, so the soldiers helped evacuate the people.

Send them to a high, open area.

Huo Lanci's team was responsible for rescuing the trapped people.

The heavy rain did not stop until dawn. Yu Wanqing had forgotten how many people she had saved overnight. Some of them were almost dead when they were brought to her. If she did not have the healing power and the wood-based ability to rejuvenate, these people would really be beyond saving.

By noon, the heavy rain began to subside, but no one dared to be careless. Just because the rain subsided did not mean the danger had disappeared.

It was a little after one o'clock in the afternoon when Yu Wanqing and Guo Hongying finished eating a dry steamed bun. She looked towards the collapsing mountain in front of her and felt a sense of uneasiness in her heart. She realized that there was danger and used her special powers to investigate. She found that the mountain in front of her began to shake and was about to collapse.

Without thinking, she shouted, "Shang Xiayang, get out of here immediately. The mountain is collapsing again."

"quick."

Her voice was wrapped in supernatural powers, and when it reached Shang Xiayang and the others' ears, every word was clear.

She tried to use her wood-related abilities to see if she could stop the landslide, but it still had no effect.

What is going to collapse cannot be stopped at all.

Shang Xiayang believed that Yu Wanqing would not joke about such a thing, so he quickly asked everyone to evacuate.

They also knew the destructive power of a landslide, so they ran as fast as they could.

As they ran, they called on nearby residents to help them evacuate together.

Hundreds of people had just evacuated when there was a loud noise.

Landslide.

The place where they were just now was directly buried by mud.

Seeing this scene, Shang Xiayang and others' faces changed.

If Yu Wanqing had not reminded everyone just now, hundreds of people would have been buried by this landslide.

Shang Xiayang looked at the place buried by layer after layer of mud, letting the rain ruthlessly slide down his cheeks. He clenched his hands tightly and looked ahead: "There are still people buried in there. We should be faster. We should be faster."

After he finished speaking, warm tears flowed down his cheeks along with the rain, and his hands trembled a little.

He really couldn't imagine how many people were buried in the mud.

The soldiers around heard Shang Xiayang's words and their eyes became red.

Shang Xiayang looked at the mud in front of him and saw that it would not continue to collapse, so he started running forward again: "Hurry, hurry."

The wounds of the rescued patients have been treated. Some of them were too seriously injured, so Yu Wanqing could only save their lives. The rest needed to be sent to the hospital for treatment.

Yu Wanqing looked at Guo Hongying and said, "You stay here and watch. I'll go and help."

She tried to use her supernatural powers to sense whether there were any living creatures under the mud.

Finally, she actually felt a faint presence of life, and she continued to dig down. A soldier saw this and rushed forward to help her.

Yu Wanqing also used her special powers to help secretly, so everyone dug faster.

"There really is someone, there really is someone, come and help." A soldier saw a hand stretched out from below, and he shouted to his comrades around him, hoping that a few people could come to help and quickly dig the person out.

Soon several people arrived and they helped rescue people as quickly as possible.

After rescuing him, Yu Wanqing quickly checked him and found that he was still breathing, so she rushed to rescue him.

Yu Wanqing and Huo Lanci were separated for several days, and all the buried people were dug out.

Because of this heavy rain, more than 20 members of the Baifeng Brigade lost their lives.

Other brigades also suffered varying degrees of casualties.

When everyone returned to the barracks, everyone looked dejected.

In the training ground of the independent regiment, Luo Hui kicked a sandbag nearby: "On the first day of the rescue, I watched a child being washed away by the flood in front of me. I tried very hard and wanted to save him, but I just couldn't hold his hand."

He gestured: "Less than two meters, just a little bit."

Chu Ming was also sitting nearby, his whole body shrouded in a gloomy atmosphere: "We joined the army in the first place to protect our country, but we..."

Chen Qiao and others did not step forward to persuade the two brothers who were experiencing such a thing for the first time, thinking that they would return to normal after they had vented their anger.

When Huo Lanci arrived, he glanced at the two of them and said, "Instead of spending this time here complaining about yourselves, you should start training hard now and strive to become a stronger person in the future, so that you can protect the people you want to protect."

"Moreover, soldiers are not omnipotent. We should do our best in everything we do, and then we will be worthy of the organization and the people."

We can't let two new recruits carry such a heavy burden.

Bai Qingshan patted Chuan Ming on the shoulder and said, "We have also encountered times when we were powerless."
