As time goes by, the golden 72-hour rescue time has ended. Traffic in Xichuan County has gradually resumed. The volunteers' tasks have shifted from carrying the injured on a large scale to searching for every possible place in the ruins where there are people. Keep shouting. Sometimes he would be tasked with throwing scarce food and drinking water into some seemingly silent and empty holes.
"Excuse me, is there a person named Zhao Yuan here?" The girls had just eaten some breakfast when a girl in work clothes asked anxiously. The girl was dusty and dusty, but she could not hide her luxurious appearance. The other girl who was traveling with him was pretty and graceful, and she seemed to be unable to bear the hardships of the journey. Among the companions, one boy was tall and majestic, and the other was elegant and handsome, but somewhat timid and worried.
"Chen Wanxin, what are you doing to him?" The voice of the medical team leader sounded coldly behind Chen Wanxin.
Chen Wanxin turned around in surprise, only to see a face that was almost filled with hatred. However, that beautiful face seemed to be stained with ink by the plumb dark clouds, and had a slightly sad look on her face. Lu Sisi
"Brother Kai, you are always good." Lu Sisi pursed her lips and asked with a half-smile.
"Now is not the time to talk nonsense. Where is Zhao Yuan?" Zheng Kai asked.
"Still so rude, annoying, and hateful," Lu Sisi curled her lips and said.
"As soon as he is alive and dead, who knows whether he was transported to where or whether he ran away on his own." Lu Sisi looked at Chen Wanxin with a cold face.
"Lu Sisi, may I ask where he is?" Chen Wanxin asked politely.
"Why should I tell you."
"Sisi, Zhao Yuan is my brother." Zheng Kai said, his eyes falling on the medical leader apologetically.
"Because of this woman who is not your girlfriend, all the girls you dumped can form a women's baseball team. I wish I could beat you to death with a stick. Unfortunately, you are thick-skinned and can't be beaten. Then beat Chen Wanxin." Xiaoyuan said. I want to attack Chen Wanxin.
Zheng Kai wanted to stop him, but Chen Wanxin blocked his hand.
"If you tell me where Brother Yuan is, you can slap me ten times." Chen Wanxin looked almost pleading. The muscles on Zheng Kai's face tensed up. He had never seen this overbearing and arrogant little princess being so groveling.
Lu Sisi smiled sweetly at Zheng Kai: "If I hit you, Brother Kai can't do it to me. If you really know how to do it to me, Brother Kai, if I beat her, then I'll be happy."
"Tell the truth, let's go back and do things." Zheng Kai said with a smile, his eyes fell on Lu Sisi's chest, and he moved slightly closer to her. Lu Sisi couldn't help but her face suddenly turned red, and she took a step back in panic.
"This is between her and me." Chen Wanxin couldn't help but pinch Zheng Kai: "If you dare to touch this woman again, I will curse you to never marry a wife. Only this little follower Wang Xiang will follow you."
Wang Xiang's expression changed, but Zheng Kai was secretly happy in his heart.
"Remember, you will have to pay back what you owe me sooner or later." Lu Sisi forced a smile: "He went to Dongchuan, probably to find war reporter Lin Wenxi."
Chen Wanxin suddenly felt a slight soreness in her nose: "Is he... okay?"
"Do you think we will be able to live well if we come here?" Lu Sisi pointed to the patients with minor injuries lying in a heap behind them. Some were waiting for their relatives here, and some were waiting for the government's resettlement. Among them, they were shuttled around. The busy ones are the volunteers from the school. Everyone looks tired, but they are all energetic.
"Thank you for your hard work, sisters." Chen Wanxin nodded and prepared to set off along the path with Zheng Kai. A group of burly men surrounded them, led by none other than Luo Yang.
"Miss, I'm here to ask you to go back." Luo Yang bowed and said. When Zheng Kai saw him bending down, he looked at himself very harshly, and immediately felt that his fist was about to move.
"Get lost." Chen Wanxin only said one word.
"The communication here has not been restored, otherwise I would ask my wife to tell you directly. She is very worried about you." Luo Yang insisted.
"You don't even listen to me anymore," Chen Wanxin said bitterly. Luo Yang's head immediately dropped and he stood silently behind the big men, who were about to come over and catch Chen Wanxin. Zheng Kai stood in front of Chen Wanxin with his chest held out.
"Zheng Kai, don't overestimate your capabilities." Tan Luoyang said coldly.
"Luo Yang, I have one thing for you. Leave a few people here to help." She pointed at the team leader Lu Sisi: "Everyone has a fat head. Do something serious and listen to this Miss Lu here."
Lu Sisi was short of manpower and saw that all the people who came were strong and seemed to be not inferior to Zheng Kai in martial arts. She couldn't help but feel happy and nodded in agreement.
"The rest of you, who happen to be our guards, are all under Zheng Kai's command." He said with a slight smile to Luo Yang: "This military truck of yours has really helped me a lot." Then he took Luo Yang's mobile phone in his hand. , casually thrown into the rubble aside: "Your communication was interrupted. I searched for the eldest lady here for several days, and finally escorted me home safely. How about this story?"
Luo Yang took out another mobile phone and said, "I have another one." This made the men next to him laugh.
Chen Wanxin immediately lowered her face and walked straight to the truck: "Zheng Kai, I can't trust these trash, you can drive."
Dongchuan.
"You said Wenxi is really talented. We didn't plan on it. He had a tough attitude. We jumped in the car and came with him. We asked him what he could do and said he could write. We even laughed at him. Who knew? Local reporters, everyone He dared to go to all the places that reporters didn’t dare to go, and got so many first-hand information and photos. Thanks to his reports in many places, reinforcements were able to be timely.” The advance captain of Kiu University and Zhao Yuan are old friends on the basketball court. Yes, she held his shoulders and said excitedly.
"Where are they?" Zhao Yuan asked.
"I don't know. He didn't follow our support team. He ran with the fire officers and soldiers. Don't tell me, he was really popular with those soldiers. Taking pictures, sketching on the scene, and breaking news were much better than those serious ones. The reporters from Bajing are still quick.”
"How could you not know where he lives, where he eats, and his work arrangements? How could you, as the team leader, not know?"
"Brother, you have seen that here in Dongchuan, no less than in Xichuan, various places are in chaos and help is needed everywhere. When our volunteers come, we are called to help by the rescue team at any time, and then we follow that rescue team. Even if you want When you come back, sometimes you can’t find your way back. You’ll be changed in a minute. If I hadn’t guarded the base camp here and left seven or eight classmates who know medical skills, I probably wouldn’t know where I am now.” The leader smiled bitterly.
Here, there is no cell phone signal.
Zhao Yuan dialed several times, picked up the phone and looked at it, then suddenly dropped it heavily to the ground. The team leader helped him pick it up and muttered: "What does this have to do with the mobile phone..."
"Oh, you can't fall out without a signal. I also fell a few days ago, and other students also fell..." A classmate came over and shrugged, "We all use local paging, and every registered volunteer The teams all gave out a few, but Lin Wenxi didn’t.”
"There is no signal, how did his report come out?" Zhao Yuan asked.
The team leader pointed to the radio on the ground: "The only channel that can be received is this one. I read the news from time to time and give instructions from time to time."
"What was Lin Wenxi's last briefing about?"
"Let's take Hongxing Road to the west. I have a map here. Ours is Zhuhai Road, which is more than ten kilometers away. But brother, look around here. No matter how many people walk, you can't walk more than ten kilometers. Come on." As he spoke, the tent shook slightly. A group of volunteers continued to care for the wounded lying on the ground without changing their expressions, and reassured them that the road was being expanded, the ambulance was coming, and soon they would transfer to a better place. However, none of them knew exactly when there would be a trace of green camouflage or angels in white among the desolate bricks and stones and terrifying ruins in front of them. Fortunately, there are airdrops of food from time to time, otherwise the supplies brought with us when we set off would soon be exhausted.
The new volunteers scattered in all directions. Zhao Yuan was given a flashlight and compared with the map, he groped for the direction and moved towards Hongxing Road.
The road was miserable and desolate, even worse than that of Xichuan. Zhao Yuan would always meet someone asking for help on the way, and he would not refuse. Fortunately, he had a strong sense of direction, and he would often help in twists and turns, and he could also help him in a roundabout way. On the route, he picked up a supply bag on the ground, ate something in a hurry, and moved forward with difficulty.
There is no smell of fireworks here anymore.
Among the rubble that can be seen everywhere, there are dusty dolls, crushed iron cans, and the window slanted over there. A white curtain is torn into long strips, flying high in the wind, and sometimes falling down. Like the prayer flags chanted in reincarnation.
The people on the stretchers were carried from here to there by soldiers, rescue teams, and fire brigade personnel, running all the way. The shirts, suits, and dresses on those people should have looked good, and their newly dyed red hair should have been done while they were doing their hair.
Unconsciously, a red sun hung in the western sky, facing Zhao Yuan's bronze face.
The sky was getting dark, and the May wind blew on my soaked thin shirt, making me feel chilly. From noon to sunset, we finally reached the vicinity of Hongxing Road.
Zhao Yuan stood among the high ruins, looking around and saw the dim lights and crowds in the south, so he moved there cautiously.
This is a primary school, and the rescue is being carried out in an intense and orderly manner. The police dogs and detectors have made final checks, and there are no signs of life. If nothing goes wrong, and the child at the end is transported out, it will be time to change the location. Either wait for notification and move that night, or sit on the ground and rest tonight. The soldiers and volunteers are too tired these days. The captain of the armed police smoked a cigarette thoughtfully in front of the ruins, his face full of exhaustion.
But he noticed that when all the personnel were evacuating, some people were running straight towards the ruins.
"Who stops?" the loudspeaker sounded.
However, how could Zhao Yuan stop? When he approached the crowd, he found the figure who had gone into the building with him. This figure, whom he had not seen for several days, seemed like a figure that had been away for half his life. He almost shed tears when he was involved.
"Wenxi" Zhao Yuan rushed inside, but found that his feet were already a little unsteady. The whole building seemed to be giving out its last groan, and the dust on both sides of the wall shuddered and fell, and there were aftershocks.
