Rebirth 09: Synthetic Male God

Chapter 396 Be that beam of light

Zhou Rui quickly returned to the drone factory.

At this time, Wang Tao and the others were also confused.

"Mr. Zhou! Those engineering brothers just received an emergency order suddenly and they all left!"

Zhou Rui's face was as dark as water and he said: "How many drones are there now?"

"Total number? About 150."

"Where's the battery?"

"There are more batteries, but they haven't had time to be fully charged. They are all half-full reserved by the manufacturer."

"Load all the cars and set off immediately! Go rescue people!"

"Huh? Who to save?"

--------

"Report the situation!"

"There are two entrances and exits in Che County. The upstream Yintou ditch has completely collapsed and been buried. The downstream situation is slightly better, but all important bridges have been destroyed and vehicles cannot pass. The engineering Corps is evaluating. The current feedback is that the span is too large and the water flow It hasn’t completely faded yet, it’s very difficult.”

At this time, on the side of Bainiaogou, countless trucks lined up on the winding mountain road.

A large number of soldiers are gathering, and the first batch of supplies has arrived, but they are blocked by the Bainiaogou, which spans [-] meters.

"What about communication?"

"It cannot be restored. Telecom reported that at least three signal towers were damaged, two in the county and one on the top of the mountain, but the road is gone. Our military lines have been set up, but we still can't get in touch with the people inside."

In the temporary headquarters, the discovered situations were reported one by one, but there was no good news.

"Where's the helicopter?"

"There have been two reconnaissance sorties and the situation is very tragic. There is no place to land. They can only conduct high-altitude reconnaissance and drop a small amount of supplies on the roof."

The footage taken by the helicopter was played on a laptop.

Looking down from a high position, I saw that most of Che County in the ravine was covered with gray-white color representing mud.

The sediment formed a barrier lake at the mouth of the ravine. The center of Che County is a swamp. The water level cannot be determined, but judging from the submergence of buildings, it is at least five meters deep.

Cars and gravel can be seen everywhere, and a few black spots stand on some roofs, calling helplessly to the sky, but the helicopter cannot descend.

A little further away, the water level was not that deep, but it was still a mess. Many houses were washed away. The scene looked like it had just experienced a major earthquake.

But what really worries the rescuers is not on the ground.
And in heaven
The sun is about to set
All power in Che County is paralyzed. Once darkness enters, not only will the difficulty of rescue directly increase to the level of hell, but the danger for the victims will also increase several times.

Even this kind of helicopter aerial photography will not be available.
Golden rescue opportunity!It will go by in vain!
"Hold!"

L hammered the makeshift table.

External forces are constantly pouring in. After the disaster two years ago, the organization attaches great importance to rapid response to natural disasters. From the occurrence to the present, it can be said that it has been rapid.

But the actual situation is that the ground forces that should have high hopes are now helpless.

"Apply for the mobilization of all helicopters in the surrounding areas, even if they transport sacks of sacks, one thing at a time, the priority is to ensure that clean water can be delivered to Che County!"

"Captain L, it's going to be dark soon. Helicopters won't be able to deliver either."

"I know! Then why are you wasting your time! Try as much as you can!"

Many people will wonder why helicopters are not used to pick people up directly.

The first is that the number of helicopters in an area is limited, and the number suitable for rescue is even smaller. If a helicopter wants to land, it must have a flat space with more than twice the diameter of the propeller, and there must be no gravel or rubble on the ground, and weather conditions must permit.

It is simply impossible for a county seat in a ravine like Che County to have this kind of space when it was still intact, let alone now.

In addition, allowing an untrained person to climb a helicopter without professional equipment using only a rope ladder is tantamount to murder.

The most important thing is that the people who can call for help from the rooftop are actually relatively safe people. The ones who are really in danger are those struggling on the ground.

Therefore, the greatest use of helicopters is to detect situations.

But after dark, all is said and done.

Around Che County, with a radius of several hundred kilometers, all the forces that could be mobilized had already entered a state of constant preparation. In less than 20 minutes, three helicopters arrived one after another. They dropped the last bit in the last moment before dark. supplies, and also brought back the last aerial footage.
Because of the dark clouds and rain, it got dark very quickly today.

The entire Che County gradually fell into darkness.

It is difficult for modern people to imagine what it is like at night without any electricity. Even small counties have long been accustomed to the "light" brought by electricity.

There was still light rain falling in the sky, and under the dark clouds, the valley was almost invisible.

At this moment, two strange trucks were driving hard along the winding mountain road.

These two big guys occupied the not-wide space all the way, and were finally stopped by someone.

"Which unit do you belong to?" Zhou Rui jumped out of the car and said, "We are from the 209th Regiment!"

In principle, this is the number of the troops in that secret base, but it's okay to say so at this time.

"All the supplies can't get through. Don't move forward with a car as big as yours!"

At this time, a discussion, or argument, was taking place in the command post.

"L long! Let's try it! The rope is long enough! Brothers can get over it!"

"Captain L! Helicopters can't do it, we have to use manpower!"

At this time, in the rescue team, a special operations platoon was asking for a fight.

The engineering conditions were not good enough to build a bridge, and it was already dark. A platoon leader said that we could try to swim across and pull a rope.

As long as there is a rope that can be fixed on the opposite side, it will be much more convenient for the follow-up personnel. If it is small, people can be sent forward to check the situation. If it is large, work can be carried out on the opposite side, and the difficulty of setting up the crossing bridge will be greatly reduced.

But in the dark of night, or in muddy water with unknown conditions, doing so is extremely risky. It can be said that once Commander L gives the order, it is equivalent to acquiescing to the loss of personnel.

But considering the disaster situation in Che County and the golden rescue time.
Someone came over and reported: "Captain L, there are two Wanshan vehicles that insist on coming up. Say yes."

Captain L didn't have time to care about these trivial matters, so he waved his hand and said, "We'll talk about it later!"

Finally, Chief L walked around for a long time, his eyes were red, and he gritted his teeth and gave the order: "Be sure. Be careful! Be careful!"

With a "pop" sound, several soldiers pressed their heels together.

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"

Soon, the 10 soldiers, with life jackets specially designed for swimming, entered the turbid river water with ropes.

The engineering lights on the shore shine on the water, but they are only effective for the first 50 meters. The 50 meters behind are completely dark.

There was no celebration, no commendation, and no farewell, because it was urgent.

The 10 warriors have ropes tied around their waists, and they are all carefully selected good swimmers.

But once you enter the water, you feel something different. This kind of water with extremely high mud content makes swimming extremely laborious even though it has greater buoyancy.

Moreover, the water flow was not smooth, so they had to swim at an angle and expend several times their physical strength.

Several soldiers gradually left the range of the engineering lights and entered darkness.

The danger has only just begun.

Without the guidance of light, the formation of ten people swimming uncontrollably scattered.

A person struggling in the dark muddy water cannot tell the direction at all.

Suddenly, the soldier in the middle felt his leg stepping on a big stone.

The stone rolled under the water, trapping his leg in the gravel.

"Woo~!"

Unfortunately, the comrades in front and behind him could hear the sound of water, and no one noticed that something was wrong with him in the darkness. Even the shaking of the rope was hidden in the muddy water.

Mud poured into his throat.

He didn't put it on at all, and he felt panicked.

Done
At this moment, the people on the river bank who were looking anxiously suddenly heard buzzing sounds from behind.

First, a young man rushed over with a computer in his arms.

And behind him, a series of strange creations also rushed out of the darkness, flying from the air towards the dark second half of the river.

"Shh! Shh! Shh!"

Like a flock of birds following their master.

This series of mechanical creations hovered above the water, and then lit up with light.

The light was projected on the water, forming circles, just shining on the heads of the ten warriors.

The swimming soldier was stunned for a moment, and then realized that a comrade was drowning.

"Seamount! Seamount!"

The two comrades in front and behind him plunged into the water, and after a few breaths, they held the weak comrade in their arms.

The drone, however, still firmly provided them with lighting.

Zhou Rui held the computer and breathed a sigh of relief
Their car was too big and was stopped on this winding mountain road, so he got out of the car and prepared to explain the situation to the person in charge here.

As a result, as soon as they arrived at the end of the broken bridge, they saw ten soldiers trying to swim across the darkness. Without any time to explain, they hurried back to mobilize the drones.

Fortunately, I caught up.
　The review was passed without modification, you should be able to rest assured.
