Go back to the valley to farm

Chapter 991

Chapter nine hundred and ninety-two
After a long time, Lao Zhang's eardrums were still buzzing, and the only sounds around him were the sound of wind and crashing waves.

Lao Zhang felt that he was still alive, and the pain in his arm and whole body told him that he was still alive.

A thought inexplicably popped up in Lao Zhang's mind: "How can I still be happy when I am in pain?"

However, this thought was drowned in boundless terror in a blink of an eye.

Gathering up the courage to open his eyes, Lao Zhang felt as if he had been transported to another world by a space-time machine.

Through the smoke and dust, Lao Zhang found that this place has become a Gobi-like place.

No grass grows.

There are broken stones and soil everywhere, just like the newly turned land, stretching for one or two kilometers.

Within the range of one or two kilometers, all the previous things and familiar sights-shady green trees, carpet-like green grass, motorcycles, fishing tackle, and...all fishing friends except him.

All gone.

There is only a piece of land left as it was at the beginning of creation.

Through the smoke and dust, Lao Zhang found a high mountain in the distance opposite the reservoir, as if it had been scraped violently with a scraper by the hand of a giant spirit. The dense forest on the entire mountain was like human hair, and even the soil was scraped off. clean.

Of the entire mountain, only the bedrock of Bai Shengsheng remained exposed, like a skull exposed after a large piece of scalp was removed.

The water in the reservoir was still stirring back and forth, as if a huge spoon was twisting back and forth in a boiling water pot.

The calm and green reservoir water in the past has now become like a rushing turbid river.

In addition to water and mud, there are countless things on the shore, which are also ups and downs in the water.

"Gosh……"

Lao Zhang finally cried and knelt down. Tears flowed from his red eyes choked by the smoke, brushing two mud grooves on his face.

He didn't know how he got back to the main road. The main road had been broken into several pieces and turned into huge steps. Lao Zhang sat down on the side of the road, not knowing where to go.

I don't know how long it took, but it was already dark anyway, and the cold night in the mountain village was not ordinary. Lao Zhang was still wet all over, squatting on the side of the road and shivering wildly.

Finally, there was a sound of chaotic footsteps in the distance, and a group of people dressed as peasants walked over supporting each other, their bodies were also covered in rags, and some of them were bloodstained.

A middle-aged man with a gash in his forehead shouted to the crowd: "There are people here!"

Several fellow villagers came to help Lao Zhang up, and Lao Zhang was carried and wrapped in such a dazed way, and continued to walk towards Guankou City.

There were several aftershocks along the way, but these people, like Lao Zhang, were already numb.

I met several volunteer teams on the road, and asked them about the situation ahead. When the fellow villagers saw that they were young children, they all pulled them away.

But no one listened to them.

Near ten o'clock at night, they encountered the first real team.

There were not many people in the team, only a few dozen people, and the leader was a middle-aged man with gray hair on his sideburns: "My fellow! Can the road to Wenjiang still go?"

The man with the cut on his forehead said: "There is no road, the mountain is crossed, and many cars are buried, there is no road."

The middle-aged soldier was Commander Xia, and he turned to discuss with a capable young soldier: "Captain Liu, what should we do?"

Captain Liu recruited a soldier, and the soldier opened the military map: "Report to the chief! There is still a small road here, which can be inserted into Li County, and we can pass through Li County."

Captain Liu frowned: "When is it expected to arrive?"

The soldier calculated the distance: "Report to the captain! Around twelve noon tomorrow!"

Captain Liu asked, "So long?"

Commander Xia stopped talking: "Our first task is to find a way for the follow-up rescue forces to reach the epicenter."

"Leave a small team here, continue to explore, and be sure to find out the road conditions ahead!! Use the maritime satellite phone to notify the command center and the general staff. Others, turn to Doli County and set off!"

A few medical soldiers were bandaging the injured villagers. Hearing this, they immediately left two medical kits for the villagers, and ran back and forth with the team.

Soon, I met another army, which was wearing two types of camouflage uniforms. The strangest thing was that there were four white dogs running in front of the team.

A young man ran up: "My fellow, how far is Zipingpu? How far is Yingxiu?"

The man whose forehead was injured burst into tears: "Yingxiu...is gone...Zipingpu can't get through..."

The young man turned his head anxiously and said, "Father, what should we do?"

The man added: "A few teams of young people went to Zipingpu before, and there was a team just now dressed similarly to yours. They went to Li County."

The man called Dad frowned: "Young man? You're just fooling around! They can handle Grandpa Mountain God's power?!"

After speaking, he turned his head and said to a middle-aged soldier with a general star hanging on the shoulder of the leader: "Deputy Commander Li, you guys rest where you are first, and we go to check first?"

Deputy Commander Li said: "Let's bandage and deal with the villagers, Lao He, be careful of aftershocks and rocks."

That man was Uncle Orion, and he called his name directly: "Miao Wa is here to greet the commando team, Dali, follow me."

Miao Wa shouted: "Father! I'll go with you!"

Uncle Orion said: "Get out! If I get stuck, you will be responsible for finding the way for everyone! The two of us can only go one!"

Miao Wa shouted: "Then I'll go with Brother Dali!"

Uncle Orion didn't turn his head back: "Shut up, before something happens to me, it's not your turn to show off! Bai Da, keep up!"

After more than half an hour, Miao Wa's walkie-talkie rang: "Miao Wa, bring everyone here."

After marching all the way, Deputy Commander Li was amazed at the discipline and military quality of this team.

This so-called militia commando team is no worse than the small team led by Lao Xia!

Deputy Commander Li trusted Uncle Orion's ability even more. After hearing this, he directly greeted the team: "Let's go, run forward!"

After running for more than 20 minutes, a flat shadow appeared in front of me, which was the Zipingpu Reservoir after the earthquake.

Along the road around a big bay, the reservoir disappeared, and in front of it was a huge collapsed mountain, and the road was crushed under the mountain.

Deputy Commander Li's heart tightened suddenly.

But Uncle Orion's words made him feel relieved: "I just explored it, and I can pass it. The road is not as complicated as our Lijiagou Swallow Cave. But the feet are loose, so you still have to be careful."

After finishing speaking, he continued: "Now we are starting to divide into groups, four people. There are several places where the terrain is dangerous. We can't all be trapped there, we can only pass through them scattered."

Deputy Commander Li nodded and said, "I listen to you!"

The team quickly divided into groups, two soldiers and two militiamen formed a group, and Uncle Orion led the way first.

Climbing up a steep slope, Uncle Orion leaned on the slope, giving way to the path that barely accommodated his feet: "Miao Wa, pass!"

Miao Wa led the first group and ran over quickly, with rolling stones rolling down the cliff continuously under their feet, and disappeared out of the range of the headlights in a blink of an eye.

Wan Dali waited on a gentle slope 300 meters away, and when he saw the first team approaching, he told them to move to a safe place ahead.

Seeing that the first group passed successfully, Uncle Orion said in a deep voice: "Second group! Keep your feet light, and don't shout even if something happens! Pass!"

After ten or so groups passed in this way, the road was trampled by the front team, and Uncle Orion called Deputy Commander Li's team over: "Commander Li, pass!"

Commander Li was about to take a step, but Uncle Orion suddenly grabbed him and pressed him on the slope with his arms: "Wait..."

Then the aftershocks came, and the trail that had just passed half of the team turned into a world of flying stones in an instant.

A few boulders the size of a millstone jumped and rolled down the steep slope with terrifying momentum, rumbling past Uncle Orion and Commander Li, and disappearing at the bottom of the cliff.

After the smoke and dust subsided, Uncle Orion patted Commander Li on the back: "Hurry up, pass!"

Then Uncle Orion obviously sped up his speed. Wutongquan's keen sense of crisis made the hairs on his back stand on end. The team went from one group to the other, and the first group was just halfway through, and the second group continued to set off.

Until the last group was left, Uncle Orion said: "Look at the bottom of my feet, it's best to step on the footprints of the previous person with each foot, hurry up!"

After speaking, he ran over with them.

After the team passed the thrilling journey, just after walking a short distance, another aftershock struck, and they collapsed after passing that section of the cliff, pouring down towards the valley.

Deputy Commander Li had lingering fears: "Thank you, Lao He, otherwise half of my soldiers would be lost here..."

Uncle Orion was not polite, pointing his hand down the mountain: "Look!"

Deputy Commander Li followed Uncle Orion's hand and looked down.

Under the dim light, the lake surface of the reservoir seemed to be very calm. Along Uncle Orion's finger, Deputy Commander Li saw a small cement road on the right side of the reservoir, which should be a passage leading to the dam for the power station.

The Zipingpu Reservoir is a mountain reservoir. It is not known how far it is from the dam, but there is a gentle slope between the waterside and the waterside in the middle of the road that can be seen, from where it can lead to the waterside.

Then there is a section of similar terrain on the left side of the reservoir.

Deputy Commander Li's eyes lit up: "The pontoon troops! You can build a pontoon there!"

Uncle Orion said: "I just don't know if your pontoon bridges and excavators can pass."

Deputy Commander Li cheered up: "Our pontoon tanks can pass! Let's go down the mountain and use the satellite phone to notify the headquarters immediately!"

……

Li Junge was in the command center, cooperating with Su Guanhai to debug the system while monitoring the situation.

It was a sleepless night.

……

In the middle of the night, the joint emergency medical team dispatched by Yuzhou Third Military Medical University has arrived at the front line of the Jingyang disaster area in Sichuan, and then quickly carried out disaster relief work.

At one o'clock in the morning, news came from the Air Force that four military helicopters sent to Wenjiang, Sichuan Province to check the disaster situation encountered bad weather and were forced to return due to heavy rain.

At 01:30 in the morning, the Fire Department of the Ministry of Public Security dispatched [-] fire officers and soldiers and [-] fire search and rescue dogs from ten fire brigades in Yuzhou and other places to the disaster area to carry out rescue work.

As of 03:30, the Armed Police Force has dispatched more than 9000 officers and soldiers to the disaster area, and [-] people from two divisions of the military have already set off. In order to save time, the General Staff decided to abandon the railway and directly call the civil aircraft to help.
