one day…

Two days…

Three days…

In the blink of an eye, six days passed.

This morning, dark clouds filled the sky, and most of the sky was dark. Heavy rain began to fall in the northwest region of Yantai County in the middle of the night. The rainfall was the heaviest in the past ten years. Dong Xuebin's injury has basically recovered. Although he has not fully recovered, and the weather is really bad today, Dong Xuebin still drove to the county bureau despite the heavy rain. The worse the weather, the greater the test for the agency. , Dong Xuebin is tired of staying at home these days, and he is eager to get into work.

Crackling, raindrops hitting the umbrella made bursts of sound.

In the bureau courtyard, Dong Xuebin, who was about to enter the office building, met Gong Zongwen who had just gotten off the car.

"Director Dong? Why are you at work now? How is your health?"

"So-so, haha, basically no problem."

"Why is it okay? Your hands are still tied with gauze. How can this be done?"

"I can move now. There is some skin trauma under the gauze. It won't be a big deal if it gets wet now."

As they talked, the two entered the corridor, closed their umbrellas and walked upstairs. Along the way, I met the leaders of several bureaus and greeted Dong Xuebin one after another. They were very concerned about his physical condition. After greeting everyone, Dong Xuebin turned around and went directly upstairs to the director's office to find Liang Chengpeng. First, he reported to the leaders. First, the second is to implement the third-class skill that I risked my life for.

In the office, Liang Chengpeng was approving a document.

Dong Xuebin closed the door and said with a smile: "Director Liang, I'm here to report."

Liang Chengpeng raised his head and glanced at the gauze on Dong Xuebin's hand, and immediately frowned, "Go home and rest immediately! I will grant you another five days of leave! You are still injured! How can you come back to work? I know that work is important, but my health is not good You're so neat and it's useless to say anything. Seeing you like this makes me sweat. "

Dong Xuebin smiled and moved his arms, "Look, Director Liang, everything is fine."

Liang Chengpeng said: "Then take off the gauze and let me take a look!"

"Ahem, to tell you the truth, I'm tired of staying home. What's the case in the bureau? Please arrange one for me quickly."

Liang Chengpeng said angrily and funny: "You look like this, how do you want me to arrange work for you?"

"Oh, I..."

"You, don't say anything. If you insist on going to work, go back to the office and do the liaison work with the Huitian Township Police Station. When your injury is completely healed, when you are busy, now, your task is to Take good care of yourself and don't try to be brave!" Finally, Liang Chengpeng also told Dong Xuebin that the weather in Yantai County has been bad these days and he will hold a formal commendation meeting next week to award him with a third-class merit certificate and medal.

Back in his office, Dong Xuebin drank tea boredly.

Finally, Dong Xuebin called the police station, "Hello, Lao Liu, this is Dong Xuebin."

Liu Dahai on the other end of the phone said: "Director Dong, are you in the bureau? Are you okay?"

"That's almost it. How is the security situation in Huitian Township recently?"

"Everything is fine. It's just that it rained too hard. It hasn't happened in ten years. There are two mountain roads in the countryside that have problems. We sent people to put up warning signs for the less serious problems. For the more serious areas, the rain fell in the countryside. According to the order, road closure measures have been started in conjunction with relevant departments. Alas, the rain is still falling, and it is getting heavier. It is estimated that it will not stop at night. If this continues, there will definitely be more and more problems. "

Dong Xuebin frowned, "Do we have enough manpower?"

"For now, it's barely okay."

"Okay, try your best to coordinate all aspects, and I'll drive over right away."

"Director, the rain is so heavy, please pay attention to your safety."

"haha okay."

Dong Xuebin just thought that such a heavy rain might cause problems, so he came to work with injuries, so he didn't listen to Director Liang's words to let him sit in the office, put his bag in his arms, and met him when he went downstairs. I met a deputy director in the office, and happened to say hello to the office that he was going to the countryside. Then I went to the bureau compound to pick up the outstanding Mercedes-Benz business and drove to the countryside.

In the pouring rain, the car went through waves of water.

In Dong Xuebin's current state, there is still no problem in driving, but he cannot exercise too strenuously.

ten minutes…

twenty minutes…

Yantai County, which originally had good traffic conditions, also had a traffic jam today. It took Dong Xuebin a long time to drive out of the county. This time he had a better memory and chose a road with less traffic to go to Huitian. After driving around the countryside, after seven or eight detours, the car finally reached the mountain road. The road conditions in this area are not particularly good. The road is not very flat, and it is close to the mountain. From time to time, stones roll from the hillside onto the road.

Dong Xuebin concentrated some attention and slowed down the speed.

Heavy raindrops washed over the windshield, and the ripples made it almost impossible to see the road.

Ring ring ring, ring ring ring, the phone suddenly rang. Dong Xuebin didn't dare to be distracted. While looking at the road ahead, he reached out to touch his phone. He touched it several times before grabbing it in his hand, "... Hey, who's driving?"

"I, Liang Chengpeng, have you gone to the countryside?"

"Well, I'm not too worried about that. Let's go over and take a look."

Liang Chengpeng's voice was a little urgent, "There's something going on at the other end of Qingnan Road. If you're still nearby, rush over immediately!"

Dong Xuebin was stunned, "What happened? The road collapsed?"

Zizzi, the phone signal is a bit poor, "... the mountain... is... I... go there immediately..." beep beep, the phone is disconnected. Dong Xuebin said hello twice, but when there was no sound from the other end, he called back, but the signal was not enough to make a call. Dong Xuebin thought for a moment, Qingnan Road? Even if my current position is on the edge of Qingnan Road, something happened? What happened

Just as I was thinking about it, there was a sudden loud noise and a sudden change!

I saw that the road ahead suddenly turned black, and rocks and sand rushed down from the mountain in a huff!

Dong Xuebin was so frightened that he lost his mind. He looked sideways as fast as he could and saw a stream of sand and gravel rushing towards the Mercedes-Benz at lightning speed. In the blink of an eye, it was already six or seven meters away. In addition, Dong Xuebin shook his hands and hurriedly turned the steering wheel and rushed to the left. Because the turn was too sharp, the rear of the car almost drifted and turned a 180-degree turn on the slippery road!

Wow! Mud and rocks are flying down! The Mercedes-Benz was narrowly missed!

Dong Xuebin was so shocked that he broke into a cold sweat. It was too dangerous!

Only now did he understand that Director Liang said something happened on Qingnan Road. It was a landslide! The level just now may be considered mild. If the road ahead is steeper and the mountains have been mined for gold for a long time, large-scale landslides or even mudslides are very likely to occur. If there are cars or pedestrians passing by, The consequences are simply unimaginable, one of them will die!

Thinking of this, Dong Xuebin's face changed, and his heart was in his throat!

what to do? There must be danger ahead! Backtrack or rush through

After thinking for a few seconds, Dong Xuebin's eyes gradually became clear. The more this situation happened, the more he had to set an example and rush to the front. Otherwise, he would retreat to the end as soon as he saw the danger. He should not be the deputy director of the bureau. . So, Dong Xuebin immediately started the car. The tires were idling in the puddles and got stuck in the mud on the roadside. Dong Xuebin was so anxious that he patted the steering wheel and continued to step on the accelerator!

Five minutes have passed!

Ten minutes have passed!

Finally, with Dong Xuebin's efforts, the car slowly walked out of the mud pit. With a turn of the steering wheel, Dong Xuebin avoided the mud and rocks in front and drove forward.

Hurry up! I hope there are no casualties!

Because the car was stuck in the soil, it took some time. When Dong Xuebin arrived at the scene, Director Liang had already arrived. They should have taken another route. However, what surprised Dong Xuebin was that he actually saw County Magistrate Xie Huilan and County Party Committee Deputy Cao Xupeng from a distance. Hu Silian was holding an umbrella for Magistrate Xie in the heavy rain, and was talking anxiously to several relevant persons in charge outside the car. What? Liang Chengpeng was also there with a few people giving full command. There were many people at the scene, including the fire brigade, the police station, and local villagers.

As soon as he saw this formation, Dong Xuebin's heart skipped a beat, knowing that the situation was serious.

Looking further away, Dong Xuebin took a breath of air!

On the road below the hillside, a bus overturned on its side. A huge boulder stayed not far from the bus, as if it had rolled down the mountain. The screams from the bus were overwhelming, and it seemed that someone had suffered unknown injuries. Because the glass may be relatively thick, not all of it was broken. The rescue team members were quickly organizing people to rescue the trapped people from the flipped-down car door.

"Xiao Dong!" Liang Chengpeng saw his car and shouted loudly.

This area belongs to Huitian Township, and Liu Dahai and Chen Fa are also here.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Dong Xuebin opened the car door and ran over without even holding an umbrella, "Director Liang, is there anything I can do to help?"

Liang Chengpeng wiped the rain from his face, "Your injury is not healed yet, don't mess around, quickly put on a raincoat, and then you are responsible for commanding the police station to rescue the trapped people. The rescue speed is too slow. Hurry, be careful and remove the glass." Smash the windows and rescue people in batches. We must rescue everyone within three minutes. If it is later, no one knows how serious the landslide will be! "

As soon as Dong Xuebin agreed, he immediately went to organize manpower.

Liang Chengpeng looked heavy, as did Xie Huilan and Cao Xupeng not far away.

Before they came, they didn't expect that things would turn out like this. The initial feedback from the following was that a tour bus was trapped on Qingnan Road, with thirty or forty people trapped. Considering that many places near Yantai County were A minor landslide occurred. Some leaders, such as Xie Huilan and Cao Xupeng, were afraid that the situation would worsen and immediately rushed to the scene to direct the rescue. However, no one expected that when they first arrived at the scene, they happened to see the landslide rolling down the mountain. A huge boulder and some sand overturned the bus. The scene was simply shocking!

County Magistrate Xie immediately ordered rescue. After hearing the news, County Party Committee Xiang Daofa was also on the way.

When Dong Xuebin came, it was just a few minutes after the incident, which was the most urgent moment. Now he didn't care about the injury on his hands. He casually took the raincoat from Liu Dahai and put it on quickly. He shouted a few words to let people know. Break the glass with something and seize every moment to rescue the trapped people. Several rescued women and elderly people were put into a rescue minibus. Thinking of the shocking scene just now, several of them cried.

"Hurry! Hurry up!"

"There's one coming out here! Someone come here! Pick it up!"

"Don't crowd! Don't crowd! Come one by one!"

At this time, Xie Huilan finally saw Dong Xuebin who was directing there. Her eyelids suddenly jumped and she squinted and said to Hu Silian: "Have someone ask Director Dong back to the car! Why is he here! What are you doing!" Cao Xupeng and several others Everyone also saw the gauze wrapped around Director Dong's hand, and knew that his injury was not healed yet.

Hu Silian hurriedly ran over, "Director Dong! Director Dong!"

"Smash the glass with rocks! Remember to avoid people!" After giving instructions, Dong Xuebin looked back and said, "Secretary Hu, what's the matter?"

Hu Silian said quickly: "Thank you, the county magistrate, for letting you get back in the car! You said you were being ridiculous!"

Dong Xuebin said: "Where am I free now? Thank you to the county magistrate for your concern. My injury is not a problem... Hey, come out one by one! Don't make a mess! Don't make a mess! Keep the elderly, women and children close to you first!"

Hu Silian was anxious, "Director Dong!"

Dong Xuebin waved his hand, "Go back quickly! It's dangerous here! I'm fine!"

In desperation, Hu Silian had no choice but to turn around and return.

Before she could report to County Magistrate Xie, Xie Huilan waved her hand, "I understand."

Cao Xupeng smacked his lips and said, "This Xiao Dong! He doesn't care about his body so much!"

Xie Huilan narrowed her eyes and said, "Ignore him! Do whatever you want!" She seemed to be angry.

With a click, a piece of glass near the front of the bus was smashed, and there was an additional rescue exit. Some people were pulled out from the door, and some climbed out of the glass. Dozens of people trapped in the bus were gradually rescued. They were rescued, but within a moment, thirty people came out, and some others were slowly crawling out. Some of them may have been injured, lying in the bus unable to move, shouting for help!

Liang Chengpeng shouted: "Get in the car and save people!"

Dong Xuebin added: "Prepare the stretcher! Hurry up!"

If he hadn't known that his arm injury was not healed, Dong Xuebin would have rushed up. Gravels kept rolling down the hillside, hitting the bus one by one, and there were two rescuers. The personnel were also hit in the thighs by stones and fell to the ground at that time. Some rescue team members were around to free up their hands to rescue them. They carried stretchers and transferred the wounded and trapped people to the area where County Magistrate Xie and county leaders were present. Place - The mountains and forests over there are denser. Except for some rainwater rushing down the mountain, there have been no landslides, so it is very safe.

one…

two…

three…

Three more people were rescued from the bus!

Xie Huilan, Cao Xupeng and others felt a little relieved.

Dong Xuebin also wiped his rain-covered face and exhaled slightly. Fortunately, Xie Huilan, Liang Chengpeng and the others arrived in time. If these rescuers arrived later, they would definitely not be able to move all the trapped people in a short time. There should be nothing wrong now. , with three or four more people, all the people trapped in the bus can be rescued.

But just when it seemed that everyone could be rescued in two minutes, an accident happened!

Boom! Loud noises came from the mountain! I don’t know if it was thunder or something else!

Then, under everyone's stunned gaze, the hillside on the side of the bus seemed to move slightly. The surface of the mountain trembled more and more violently with the rumbling sound. Even Xie Huilan, Liang Chengpeng and the others felt the vibration on the soles of their feet, as if it was an earthquake!

Xie Huilan's expression suddenly changed!

Cao Xupeng and Dong Xuebin also turned pale, and their chests seemed to have been hit hard!

Then, a large-scale landslide struck instantly!

"ah!"

"The mountain collapsed!"

"It's coming down! It's coming down! It's a landslide!"

"Niuniu!"

"Dalei!"

"No!"

Thick sand and gravel rolled down the hillside, and in the blink of an eye, we had reached the foot of the mountain!

Several people who were rescuing were stunned. Those who were still far away rushed in panic towards the direction of the county leaders. Among those who were close, there was a young man with quick reactions who saw that it was too late to dodge and took the lead. The car glass jumped into the bus, and a person behind him also thought about it and jumped in after him. Of course, human power cannot compete with nature. Only by hiding in the bus can we have a glimmer of hope for survival!

The sand and gravel are too thick!

It’s thick enough to be as tall as a person!

half a second…

one second…

A huge landslide was coming, and the bus was completely swallowed up in an instant!

Dong Xuebin was still far away. When he saw this scene, he grabbed a stupid policeman next to him and ran towards the county leader in a hurry. The landslide was only on this side of the bus, and other places were temporarily closed. It was relatively safe and most people were not injured.

However, after the landslide, everyone looked in the direction of the bus...

The vast expanse of khaki color is what you see!

There is sand, mud, rocks and grass.

But the bus... is gone!

There is only a thick layer of mud and gravel on the road a few hundred meters ahead, and the bus can no longer be seen!

In the sand, a young man from the rescue team who had not had time to escape, his lower body had been swallowed up by the sand, only his head was exposed, his eyes stared in horror, and he died on the spot.

Liu Dahai and Chen Fa's eyes were red, "Xiao Sun!"

The man who died was the co-op from Huitian Township Police Station!

Many trapped people who had just been rescued ran out of the bus like crazy, shouting the names of their relatives!

"It's over! It's over!"

"Niuniu! Ah! Niuniu!"

"Dalei! Help him! My son is still in the car! My son is still here!"

Cries, shouts, and screams merged with the sound of rolling sand and rocks, resounding throughout the sky!

Liang Chengpeng suddenly clenched his fist. Is it too late? Or is it too late

The bus has been completely covered by thick mud, and the aftermath of a lot of sand and gravel is still sweeping the scene. The possibility of people in the bus surviving is almost non-existent! !

That's too late!

Everything happened so fast! !

I’m still having an annual meeting in Chengdu. I’m on a plane on the 28th, so the update may be in the evening. I just stayed up late today to finish writing, so I’ll update it at night.
