After a thousand years of trading, start a million barrels of oil

Chapter 186 Regretful Compensation

Wang Suman and Ata saw that large areas of houses in front of them had collapsed and were devastated.

In some open places, people gathered together squatted on the ground, huddled up, and leaned against the leeward side to keep warm.

Their clothes were already covered with dust, and some of them were covered with blood. They were cold, hungry, and scared. After waiting for more than 20 hours, they had already reached the limit that their bodies could bear.

This is not the first time Wang Suman has seen such a scene. He can imagine the helplessness of the disaster victims and the despair of losing their homes. Compared with those who escaped, those who are still buried in the ruins People are undoubtedly more dangerous, desperate and eager to be rescued.

So they didn't dare to delay. Both Wang Suman and the rescue team had professional qualities, and immediately started to work, demarcated the area according to the map, and carried out on-site vigilance.

A work area, an equipment area, and a temporary headquarters were set up, and personnel were dispatched to appease and distribute supplies to those who had escaped from danger, and then rescue work began quickly.

They must first help some relatively shallow people who are easy to find and rescue, and quickly help them out of danger.

"Team Wang, there are signs of life here." A member of the rescue team discovered the situation during detection with a life detector.

Wang Suman hurried over with the team members, drilled through the small gap with snake eyes, observed the situation inside with the help of the video probe on the top, and listened to the voice of the victims inside with the help of the audio probe. Cries 'help me' in Urdu.

For a moment, Wang Suman seemed to have returned to more than ten years ago. In the earthquake more than ten years ago, it was also a little girl who said "save me" in Chinese with a weak voice.

But at that time, because of the helplessness of the on-site environment, they could only use their hands to pick up the rubble bit by bit, wasting a lot of rescue time.

When Wang Suman and his comrades worked together to remove a few cement slabs, a small head tied with a bow was exposed.The 3-year-old girl opened her big watery eyes. Although she was full of panic, she didn't cry.

"What's your name?" Wang Suman felt very worried when he saw the little girl. In order to keep her awake, he began to try to communicate with her.

"Song Xinyi." The little girl's weak and trembling voice came from the cracks in the stone.

"Who else is by your side?" Of course, Wang Suman hoped to save as many lives as possible, and began to ask the little girl further about the situation.

"There are also father and mother." The little girl answered in a weak and childish voice with a thin cry.

Although Wang Suman didn't hear other cries for help, when the little girl said that she was with her parents, he immediately accelerated the speed of clearing the rubble, racing against time to dig out more people who might be trapped.

After removing more rubble, they found that there were indeed two people behind the little girl, a man and a woman, but everyone was deeply shocked by the scene in front of them:
A young woman knelt on her knees, with one hand on the child's body and one hand on the shoulder of a young man, and the man also used the same posture, with one hand protecting the child and the other on the woman's body.The two of them faced each other, their bodies bowed slightly, and they firmly supported the concrete fragments behind them, propping up this small safe space for the child.

Song Xinyi's parents were already out of breath.

After all, although Song Xinyi's life was saved, she also lost her right leg forever.

Wang Suman didn't know if Song Xinyi's parents could be saved if they were faster, but he knew that if they rescued Song Xinyi faster and sent her for treatment, there was a high chance that her right leg could be saved.

So for so many years, he has been blaming himself. Even though his hands were already full of blood with his comrades, he still thought, why couldn't we go faster then.

Today, facing the same scene, he cannot allow history to repeat itself.

"Exoskeleton troops, come here, save people!" There were no more words, only a simple order.

Wang Suman remembered how difficult it was for them to dig rubble at the beginning, and they could only move two or three pieces in two or three pieces, but now wearing the mecha, they can directly insert their arms in a relatively deep place, and with a strong lift, a large area can be lifted.

It doesn't matter if you encounter a reinforced concrete slab. Before, it took five or six people to move it together. Because one end is inserted in it, there is often no angle to start.

But these are not a problem now. Wang Suman pulled one end of the concrete slab by himself. The weight of more than 300 kilograms was pulled out by him alone.

Ata next to him looked dumbfounded. Can an earthquake be rescued like this?
Several exoskeleton team members quickly dug to the position of the little girl. It was a five or six-year-old girl whose right leg was also pressed by a stone slab.

When Wang Suman saw it, he immediately held one end of the stone slab with one hand, and lifted the stone slab a little with one hand, and the other soldiers immediately rescued the little girl.

"Send it to a doctor quickly." Wang Suman shouted.

Atta's commander immediately sent the little girl to the medical team from the neighboring country for simple treatment, and then transferred it to a large hospital for further treatment.

Wang Suman asked about the result. According to the feedback from the on-site doctor, the time was still in time, and he should be able to save his leg. Wang Suman then breathed a sigh of relief. The anxiety and self-blame in his heart for more than ten years has been somewhat made up for today.

Wang Suman looked at his watch. It had been 7 hours since the exoskeleton was activated when he came in. If it was the lithium battery in the past, it would have run out of power and shut down by now, let alone rescued the little girl so quickly.

But now they are not afraid. Even if they are fully powered on, they still have at least 20 hours to rescue, which is almost the last 48 hours of the golden 20 hours. This time period can improve efficiency, and it is unknown how many more people can be rescued.

He didn't delay any longer, and continued to search. He passed a middle school, and the rescue was so good, he had already passed here many times.

It was just because of the chaos at the earthquake site and the frequent aftershocks that followed, the personnel and the scene were chaotic, and everyone scattered in a hurry, so no one knew who was buried there.

They did a simple survey here, and they didn't seem to find any signs of life. They still have a lot of superficial and more suspicious areas to help, so they can't be in this uncertain place where there are too many ruins and too deep. I made too many stops, and passed by a few times with just a glance.

But this time, when Wang Suman passed by and wanted to walk over, he stopped suddenly and turned his head to stare, because he saw a fragment of a broken blackboard with 6 large Chinese characters written on it: 'China-Pakistan friendship will last forever'.
