Apocalyptic Tundra Age

When Xu Zhonglei arrived at the village head's house, he saw a large group of people digging the ruins of the village head's house in the drizzle.The sundries on the surface have been cleaned up, and everyone is digging down at the approximate place the village chief said.

Indeed, according to what the village chief said, not many people escaped from the earthquake last night.Xu Zhonglei walks his dog every day. He knows that there are about 200 families in the village. Each family has two to six people. There are at least [-] people in the village.Now there are only about [-] people in the village chief's house, including adults and children.

What surprised Xu Zhonglei was that the six members of the eating, drinking, whoring and gambling team headed by Xu Tianci were all there. Even Xu Tianci's daughter, Xu Xiaoyun, who was only four years old, was also helping to remove the stones and bricks from the ruins. There was another The older little girl is also helping to move the bricks.

The two little girls struggled to move one brick after another, looking very serious.

Xu Zhonglei put the box containing the food aside, picked out a durable wooden stick from the ruins, and joined the rescue team.

Probably the village chief thought that those who could build a house would demolish it?

So Xu Zhiping, Xu Zhonglei's eldest brother, was the captain of the rescue team.Xu Zhiping looked very haggard, gray all over, shouting hoarsely.

When the energy is exerted in one place, it is the time to get twice the result with half the effort.

After a while, the village head shouted: "That's right there! The quilt that Shi Yu made! That's what it looks like!"

Xu Zhonglei's heart sank. There was a large slab of concrete poured on the quilt of Shi Miu, there was no triangular area, and there was no obstruction. If Shi Miu was really underneath, she must not be breathing now.

"careful!"

Seeing that the village chief was in a hurry and digging hard with a shovel, Xu Zhiping pulled him over.

Shouted loudly: "Xinbai! You don't want to die. If the stone scorpion is below, if you dig like this, it will collapse! If you don't die, you will die!"

After speaking, he shouted again: "Who can find the jack? This board can't be lifted!"

When Xu Zhonglei heard this, he turned his head and went home, shouting, "I have it!"

He ran all the way, went home and opened the door of his tool room, and took the jack.He drove his own Wuling Hongguang again, slammed on the accelerator and went back to the village chief's house. The whole process took no more than 10 minutes!

With the tools, he quickly picked up the board that had hit the rock.

It's a pity that there is no way to recover, and Shi Yu's body has been crushed.Uncle Jiang, who moved the corpse, wrapped the stone in a large plastic sheet and sent it to the paddy field in front of the village chief's house.

After the family was rescued, the big guy didn't even take a sip of water, so Xu Zhiping prepared to pack up and go to the collapsed house of Xu Liangfeng's house which was closest to the village head's house.

Xu Zhonglei saw Uncle Jiang next to him, his cheeks were flushed, he kept wiping away his tears, took a deep breath, and rubbed his rough hand on the hoe in his hand.Suddenly, Uncle Jiang quickened his pace and walked to the front of the team.

"Village head! Zhiping boy! I, Lao Jiang, beg you today! Go to my house first! My family has parents, daughter-in-law, a 13-year-old daughter, Yueyue, and a son who just turned five. There are five people, all It's all under that house!" Xu Zhonglei walked a little to the side, and Uncle Jiang was kneeling at the front of the line, kowtowing slowly.

One click, one click, another click.

Before the fourth knock, Xu Zhiping helped Uncle Jiang up from the ground. Uncle Jiang cried and begged, "Please! I wish I was right under the house, I can't help it!"

After several villagers from the rescue team gathered around and looked at Uncle Jiang, Xu Zhiping shouted hoarsely: "I know that many members of Brother Jiang's family are buried at the bottom of the house, but who here has no relatives? Under the house? Now, there are four people in my family, daughter-in-law, father, father-in-law, and mother! What can I do? I was alone, braving the earthquake, digging for four hours in the ruins, but I didn’t see anything !"

"Everyone wants to dig their own houses first, and their relatives first, and I want to too! I, Xu Zhiping, want it the most! But we have this team, and we want everyone to be proficient as soon as possible. There are only 64 households in our village. It takes one hour, it takes three days, who can wait that long? Someone has to be at the end! So now, let's dig out people as soon as possible, become proficient as soon as possible, learn how to dig people from the ruins, and learn to give up those who are already hopeless people!"

"The village is full of fellow villagers. Uncle Jiang, you have to dig first, and I have to dig first. Everyone has to dig first. In the end, none of us can save anyone! So, let's follow the village head's house as we said before. Dig one by one, and after everyone is proficient, divide up a team, so that the speed can be doubled!"

"Every minute is a life. Let's unite as one and save lives quickly!"

After Xu Zhiping finished speaking, he took the tools and left, and even the village head, who was in a daze, followed to Xu Liangfeng's house. Xu Zhonglei saw that Uncle Jiang wiped his tears with his short sleeves, and followed behind the big team.

Six hours after the earthquake was the golden rescue time, and the blood from broken legs and arms hadn't run out.Those who were lucky enough to hide in the triangular area had enough physical strength to send out a survival signal.

However, at two o'clock in the morning, most people are not alert enough to wake up from bed and hide in the triangle area of ​​​​the room.

From the drizzle to the pouring rain, except for Uncle Jiang's family who rescued the bleeding daughter-in-law who was smashed by the ceiling, the rest of the family could only dig out one stiff corpse after another.

Aftershocks are still going on, with a small one every hour and a big one every two hours.Several times, when the survivors were almost dug out, a small earthquake hit, and all previous efforts were wasted, and the big guys could only give up in silence.

The big earthquake came again, and Xu Zhonglei was very close to the house. A piece of wood flew out from an unknown part of the house, and hit Xu Zhonglei directly, bruising his neck and back.

Enduring the dull pain in his back, Xu Zhonglei thought to himself: This is the legendary accident!

After the large force fought together for two hours, the rescue team was divided into two teams, each responsible for a different house. Compared with the one hour before it took the large force to save a family, now it takes two teams an hour to save two houses.

The heavy rain started at noon and became heavier and heavier.The rescue team in the village used the plastic skins and sheets they found from the ruins, made holes for the eyes and nose, and used them as raincoats, and started digging to save people.

After digging for more than three hours, I found a survivor, Xu Zhonglei's old friend, Uncle Guosheng.

The old man lived in a one-story house and had a shallow sleep. When the earthquake hit, he rolled up his quilt and hid under the bed. Fortunately, the heaviest beams of Uncle Guosheng’s one-story house did not fall on his bed, otherwise it would have been bad luck.

The old man was in good spirits after being rescued, and he took a hoe and said that he would go to rescue people together.

Xu Zhonglei secretly observed everyone's spirits.Obviously, the excitement, sadness and anger can only keep everyone's belief in rescue.

Faith cannot fill the stomach, nor can it provide warmth. While on the road, Xu Zhonglei discussed with Xu Zhiping, and the earthquake gradually became smaller.Or turn out his family's plank house and build it on the road in the village, so that the big guys can rest and eat inside.

Xu Zhiping understood the truth that haste makes waste, so he called his group to assemble the plank house and build it on the widest road in the village—the one that goes directly to the town.

The assembly of the temporary residence was simple, and it took half an hour to build the plank house—two alloy cuboids without doors.Anyway, for the wounded, the alloy box is much better than the back seat of Wuling Hongguang.

A woman stayed behind to cook, four children sheltered from the rain in the alloy box, and two wounded people lay feverish inside.

The other 25 people continued to save people with hoes.

After the two teams had dinner in turn, the rescue team finally transferred to Xu Zhiping's home. Xu Zhonglei prayed secretly in his heart, good people will be rewarded, and good people will live long!

Fortunately, Sister Liu heard her husband and daughter shouting at that time, and shrank decisively to the corner of her daughter's bedroom. Although a beam fell from the ceiling, making Sister Liu unable to move, fortunately, Sister Liu was lucky compared to others Shocking.

Dr. Zeng, the barefoot doctor in the village who visited in the middle of the night, is still alive, and the rescue team has dug out a lot of packages of antibiotics from the doctor's medicine cabinet, which means that the wounded rescued from the ruins will not die of infection and inflammation. .

The girder that was pressing down on one of Sister Liu's legs was buried very deep, and Sister Liu's leg was still bleeding from time to time. Judging from Sister Liu's own feelings, the calf that was pressed by the girder no longer felt at all. With my sister's consent, Dr. Zeng used a sterilized saw to amputate one of Liu's lower legs without anesthesia.

Before fainting from the pain, Sister Liu comforted Xu Zhonglei who looked distressed: "Stone, it's okay!"

Xu Zhonglei wiped his eye circles, holding back his sore nose.

At three o'clock in the morning, the rescue team in the village had tried to dig every house in the village. They didn't have professional equipment or electricity, so they couldn't use the equipment of the regular rescue team.

Xu Zhonglei knew that in their group, there were three locations with signs of life that were abandoned because of the difficulty of location and depth.

Everyone is waiting for rescue, hoping that when rescue comes, there will be police dogs and rescue officers and soldiers with fire trucks.Digging out of the rubble those they could do nothing about.However, Xu Zhonglei knew that rescue would not come.

Compared with the huge scale of this earthquake, it is impossible to have "one party is in trouble, ten parties will support", and we can only save ourselves.

----

In the temporary residence, there were no beds, and only dozens of people were lying on the board. There were several charcoal pots in the corners around the board. Xu Zhonglei quietly took out the charcoal to ensure that the rescue team would not catch a cold.

Although everyone didn't finish work until four o'clock in the morning, many people still couldn't sleep. Xu Zhonglei listened with his eyes closed.

There were faint sobs of women, sighs of men, piercing screams of children having nightmares, and the snoring of several men.

Xu Zhonglei closed his eyes and fell asleep while thinking about the rescue during the day.

too tired.
