The third day of being trapped.
It was impossible to tell whether it was day or night in the dark ruins.
Dong Xuebin woke up, opened his eyes and yawned. He had nothing else to do in the past two days except sleeping. Looking to the side, Dong Xuebin found the oxygen tank in the dark, and reversed it skillfully in a second. After restoring the oxygen in the tank, I used reverse on myself again to make the hunger disappear. Then I picked up the radio and turned on the switch, only to find that maybe I had listened too hard, and the radio went silent after two beeps. Apparently The battery was dead, so Dong Xuebin opened the battery cover, stretched out his hand towards it, used reverse to adjust the battery power to when it was fully charged two days ago, and continued to listen carefully.
"Zi Zi..."
"Shasha..."
Perhaps the signal was not very good today. Dong Xuebin adjusted his position several times but could not hear anything, only a rustling noise.
Helpless, Dong Xuebin turned off the radio and stared up.
I don’t know how long it took, but the clanging sound was suppressed again.
Dong Xuebin has heard this sound countless times in the past two days. As soon as he heard it, he knew that the people and the rescue team who were preparing to save him outside began to dig through the rubble again. Every time he heard this sound, Dong Xuebin felt sad in his heart. There was an indescribable feeling, and the sound was densely splashed around. It was obvious that many people were digging on it. Even Dong Xuebin knew that because the tools were not enough, some people still used the most primitive method - digging with their hands. , digging from morning to night, and then continuing the work the next day. And these ordinary people came here spontaneously to save him regardless of the aftermath of the earthquake. How could Dong Xuebin not be moved by this?
Suddenly, the ground shook violently!
Dong Xuebin's first reaction was to know that there was an aftershock, and he hurriedly lifted his feet up. His two shoes reflexively moved up, holding on to the rocks above, for fear of collapsing.
Fortunately, the aftershocks were not big. They were about magnitude 3. After shaking for a while, there was no movement.
Dong Xuebin breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing that the earth had returned to peace, he carefully took his feet back. He didn't know how long this life would last.
Three days…
five days…
seven days…
In the blink of an eye, Dong Xuebin has been trapped under the rubble for ten days.
The aftershocks have subsided, and the rescue calls from above have stopped making noise. The surroundings are filled with eerie silence, which is a bit scary.
nobody
Have you all given up
Dong Xuebin secretly smiled bitterly. He didn't know how much the ruins had been excavated, let alone how many meters away he was from the outside world. However, Dong Xuebin had already expected the evacuation of the rescue team, and there was no surprise. Ten days, it has been ten days. Not to mention that I was scarred when I was hit here. Even if a hundred healthy people were thrown into the rubble, none of them would be alive after ten days. This is common sense. No need to ask, no food, no water, no air, any one of these can kill someone. No need to ask, they must have thought they were dead. Rather than investing so much manpower and material resources to dig up a corpse, it is better to organize people to rescue those who may still be alive!
Dong Xuebin's hope of escape became increasingly slim, but he did not complain. He lay there quietly and turned on the radio to look for a signal.
"Shashasha..."
I wonder if a lot of debris has been cleared up there, but the signal is pretty good today.
Just listen to the radio playing: "According to statistics, the death toll in the Fenzhou earthquake has risen to 42,326, the number of injured is 318,923, and the number of missing is 3,012..."
After hearing this, Dong Xuebin's heart sank, but he had tried his best. Compared with the number of casualties recorded in the future newspaper he had seen before, the number of casualties reported now was obviously twice as low.
The radio then made casualty statistics for various places, "The epicenter of this earthquake was in Dafeng County. The number of local victims reached 12,100, 4,322 people were killed in Xiping District, 4,566 people were killed in Donghai District, 3,298 people were killed in Nanshan District, and finally Yantai The number of victims in the county...255 people. As far as we know, more than ten hours before the earthquake occurred, the Yantai County government had issued a compulsory evacuation order to evacuate and relocate people. Therefore, it is adjacent to Dafeng County and should have Yantai County, which was severely affected by the disaster, had the smallest casualties among all the counties in Fenzhou City. In Nanshan District, the district government also carried out publicity and mobilization and earthquake prevention warnings before the earthquake, so the casualties were relatively controlled to a certain extent. ”
Obviously, they are talking about Xie Huilan and Geng Yuehua.
Only 255 people were killed in Yantai County, which Dong Xuebin did not expect.
"Some experts predict that the magnitude of the 8.0-magnitude earthquake in Fenzhou City will actually be far more severe. The number of casualties may be doubled or even tripled. However, the reason why such serious casualties can be avoided is that the Guangming Street Office Dong Xuebin, Director Dong, published an article in Fenzhou Daily. It is reported that 110,000 residents evacuated overnight after reading the newspaper before the earthquake. Because of this article, people were prepared for earthquakes in advance. ... It has also reached millions of people. One article can be said to have saved countless lives." There was a pause on the radio, and there was the sound of turning pages of paper. "I have a few more numbers here, which are under the jurisdiction of the Nanshan District Guangming Street Office. Within the scope, the number of injured during and after the earthquake was 776, but the death toll was only seven."
Hearing this, Dong Xuebin sighed deeply.
Or someone died? His goal is to make sure no one dies!
But it's impossible to think about it. There are some surprises that even Dong Xuebin couldn't predict. For example, his current situation. Before the earthquake, how could Dong Xuebin ever think that he would be in such a desperate situation
"We made a simple statistics. Before the earthquake, Director Dong of Guangming Street had moved residents in many collapse-prone buildings to safe places. There were also some subsequent disasters caused by the earthquake, such as a health winery that violated regulations. Roadside billboards have caused many casualties in other counties and districts. Almost all of them had quality problems and collapsed during the earthquake. However, we learned that this kind of billboards had been mandated by the Guangming Street Office a few days before the earthquake. Demolished, etc., etc., Guangming Street Office has been fully prepared for this earthquake, so the number of victims has remained in single digits, and many people also know that it has made outstanding contributions to the people of Fenzhou City. Comrade Dong Xuebin, who contributed so much, has been missing for 243 hours today.”
Listening to what was being said about himself, Dong Xuebin felt a little complicated.
"According to the information collected these days, we made a statistics of the outstanding deeds that Director Dong has done. As a result, the staff of our radio station were very shocked. I got this article in the morning. To be honest, I burst into tears. I couldn’t stop it at that time. I don’t know how to describe my current mood, except maybe shocked... just shocked. Let me read it to you.”
statistics
What statistics
Dong Xuebin pricked up his ears and listened suspiciously.
The female announcer said with a magnetic voice: "Two years ago, when Comrade Dong Xuebin was serving in Yantai County, when faced with nine extremely vicious prison escapees and hijacked school teachers and students, he actually stepped forward and asked to be hostages. As a result, many school teachers and students were rescued at the risk of death. A few days later, a jumping incident occurred in the county party committee compound. Director Dong caught a man who jumped from a five- or six-story building with his bare hands. However, he himself was hospitalized and almost died. His arm was amputated. In the same year, a bus overturned in the suburbs of the county and was suddenly hit by a landslide. Director Dong rushed into the landslide regardless of his own safety and rescued people one by one. He himself was buried in the landslide and almost died. It took two days and two nights to get out of danger. A few months later, Director Dong was riding a bus when he went to the wildlife park. A boy accidentally fell under the bus. Just when the Siberian tiger was about to pounce on the boy, it was Director Dong. He jumped out of the car without hesitation and fought with the tiger. Only then did the boy escape, but Director Dong himself almost died in the tiger's mouth! "
Khan, how can it be so exaggerated
Dong Xuebin felt embarrassed and blushed a little.
"Moving to a few days ago, the moment the earthquake occurred, Director Dong rushed into a bungalow that was about to collapse and rescued a child. It was only a second before the house would bury him. It was a dangerous situation. After that, There was a fire in the district committee compound. Director Dong risked his own life and used his arms to catch the district government cadres and staff who jumped from the five-story building again and again. However, he himself was injured and hospitalized. Then, Director Dong discovered He discovered the cracks in the building of the No. 1 Hospital and hurriedly transferred the injured to the hospital, but he stayed at the end. As a result, he was hit by a window that fell from upstairs when the aftershocks came. The ground was covered with blood, but even so When Director Dong discovered that there was still a nurse in the hospital who could not evacuate, he actually got up and rushed back again, throwing the nurse out of the window. By this time, the building had collapsed, and Director Dong himself He never came out again and sacrificed his life at the age of twenty-five. Everyone present cried! "
After being missing for ten days and still being buried under the rubble, he could be considered dead.
The female announcer's voice was a little hoarse, "These are just the deeds of Director Dong that we can collect. They are shocking. I can hardly imagine what Director Dong's mentality was when he was rescuing people. Why for the sake of the common people... He can do this again and again I thought, these are probably party members, these are probably our national cadres." At this point, the female announcer seemed to be crying, "Although it is being talked about on every radio channel these days, I still think about it. I want to say it sincerely... Director Dong, have a good journey!"
Dong Xuebin touched his nose and said, "I don't want to leave. I want to go out now!" RO
