Under the gloomy sky, several military caravans were speeding on the muddy road. Dense raindrops fell on the roof with crackling sounds, mixed with the buzzing engines and thunder, like a chaotic sonata of disaster.
Dozens of new recruits sat silently in the van, their bodies swaying slightly with the bumpy ride. The slanting rain poured in through the open rear canopy, soaking their clothes.
Instructor Hong sat at the front row, taking out black rainproof military coats from a sack and passing them around to distribute them.
"The eight affected villages are very far from each other. Some are located in the east of Jinnan Mountain, some in the south, and some are even in the ravines. Our vans cannot drive in. If we drive further, we can only go there on foot.
The farthest village is extremely remote, with rugged roads, and it is raining heavily, and an earthquake could occur at any time. If it were an ordinary rescue team, it would take nearly 48 hours just to travel from outside the mountain to inside the mountain.
The golden rescue time for a mudslide disaster is 72 hours. By the time the rescue team arrives, there is almost no rescue time. But you are different. After several extreme trainings, even under extreme conditions, you can walk through this distance within 24 hours. "
Instructor Hong took out a map of Jinnan Mountain, spread it out on the ground, shone it with a flashlight, squatted down and started drawing with a pen.
"After the discussion our instructors just had, we have preliminarily finalized the rescue plan. We will divide all the instructors and you into eight groups and send them to different villages for rescue. The five villages outside the mountain are easy to deal with and the rescue mission is not difficult. The main task is these three villages located inside Jinnan Mountain. We will mark them as No. 1, No. 2, and No. 3.
Among them, No. 1 is the one I just mentioned. It is located in the village in the deepest part of Jinnan Mountain. If we want to rescue No. 1, we must cross the entire Jinnan Mountain Range under extreme conditions in the shortest time. This is the most difficult task.
In order to speed up the process of crossing the mountains, the number of people in this rescue team cannot be too large, but also cannot be too small, otherwise there will be insufficient rescue manpower after arriving at the village, so I have preliminarily drawn up several candidates for the rescue of Village No. 1. "
Instructor Hong glanced at everyone and said seriously: "Lin Qiye, you are the first one to serve as the captain of rescue team No. 1."
"yes."
Lin Qiye in the crowd nodded without any hesitation.
It was not surprising that he was in the No. 1 rescue team. He was the number one in extreme training, and it was not difficult for him to cross the mountains under extreme conditions. Moreover, with the blessing of [Mortal Divine Realm], after arriving at the disaster village, he could find the location of the victims as quickly as possible and speed up the rescue process.
"There are also Baili Tuming, Shen Qingzhu, Mo Li, Deng Wei, Li Jia, Li Liang, Wen Qingqing..."
Instructor Hong then called out a series of names. Including Lin Qiye, there were eight new recruits in the No. 1 rescue team. Together with Instructor Hong himself who was leading the team, there were a total of nine people.
This list of personnel is naturally not randomly drawn. Baili Tuming, the Doraemon, is a jack of all trades and can play a role under any conditions. Shen Qingzhu himself is very strong and has an extremely fast climbing speed. Molly's vibration ability can easily solve some terrain problems and is also very useful in rescue.
The forbidden areas of Deng Wei, Li Jia and Li Liang are all related to strength, and their rescue capabilities are extremely strong. Wen Qingqing's treatment can provide initial treatment for the injured.
As for Cao Yuan, he was not included in this team. After all, his Forbidden Ruins was of little use in rescue operations, and all the top players could not be put into one team. The other two villages in the mountains also needed rescue.
Then, Instructor Hong announced the list of people going to another seven villages. Naturally, no one had any objections. To be on the safe side, the instructors distributed the Star Swords. After the warehouse was inexplicably empty a few months ago, they transferred in a batch of weapons. However, this time the protective measures around the warehouse were increased by more than five times.
"This time, what you are facing is no longer an exercise, training, or assessment... This is a real disaster! I hope everyone can be fully motivated and go all out!
Every second we waste may mean the death of a life. The day after tomorrow, you will truly swear to become the Night Watchmen. I hope that in this rescue operation, you can use your own hands to lay the foundation for the glory of the Night Watchmen! "
…
At the foot of the Jinnan Mountain, in the disaster village marked as No. 7.
The collapsed mountain and mud buried the once peaceful village, leaving only broken fragments of houses like broken shells on the beach, intertwined and embedded under the thick earth and rocks. Only a few three-story buildings had half of their buildings exposed outside, with broken walls and pillars scattered around.
A muddy man stumbled forward in the rain, carrying a bamboo basket filled with mushrooms rotten by the rain. His cracked lips trembled slightly.
“No… No… It can’t be like this!!” He looked at the destroyed village in disbelief and spoke hoarsely.
This is where he grew up. No one is more familiar with this place than him. He can even quickly tell whose wall and whose tiles it is just by looking at the broken wall debris on the ground...
He dragged his bloody right leg and tried to run quickly in the rain towards the small house in his memory, his eyes full of anxiety.
"No... No!! Xiaofang... Dad... Mom... Wait for me! I'm back, I'm coming back!"
Suddenly, his right foot lost its support and he fell to the ground. The mushrooms in the basket fell out one after another. Without even a glance at them, he pulled the basket off his back and continued to run forward with gritted teeth.
Finally, he came to a small white house that was half buried...
“No, no, no, no…” The man’s body began to tremble uncontrollably. Tears mixed with rain slid down his cheeks. He threw himself on the earth and rocks like a madman, and quickly dug up the soil with his own hands!
"It's okay! My son is here to save you! It's okay... It's okay!!"
The sharp dirt pierced his palm, and blood flowed on the dark brown soil and rocks. He seemed to feel no pain and continued to dig the ground frantically.
His expression gradually lost control and his voice began to tremble.
"It's okay... It's okay... Damn it!! Damn it!! Why!!!" He pounded his fists on the ground and cried out in despair, "Someone... Someone come to save us..."
Buzz!!
A low engine sound came from a distance, like the roar of a wild beast, and the dazzling light shone on the dark earth, illuminating the messy ruins.
The man looked up in astonishment, only to see a number of military green steel beasts breaking through the thick rain curtain and speeding towards here!
Before the vehicle stopped, figures wearing black military coats quickly jumped out from the canopy, stepped heavily into the muddy puddles, and approached here at an alarming speed! !
The leading man took a deep breath and spoke almost in a roar. His powerful voice overwhelmed the heavy rain and echoed throughout the ruined village!
"Daxia soldiers are here, death retreat!! Those who survive... will live!!!"
