Chapter 404 The living and the dead
Yingxiu Town is surrounded by mountains and was originally a small town with beautiful mountains and rivers.
Luo Geping and his "hikers" group originally came here often and were familiar with the mountains and rivers here, but they could not recognize the Yingxiu in front of them at all.
The beautiful peaks were completely destroyed, and there were traces of landslides everywhere; the main stream and tributaries of the Minjiang River divided the entire town into three pieces, each of which was full of ruins, houses collapsed, and the Minjiang River water mixed with the scattered soil and gravel of the landslide and flowed down, turbid and viscous.
The streets were full of broken tiles, wine bottles, bricks, glasses, and some homeless chickens, ducks, geese, and dogs foraging in the ruins, making whimpering sounds from time to time.
Luo Geping and others were shocked. They took out the small amount of dry food and drinking water they carried with them and distributed it to those survivors who were already hungry and helpless.
But the food and water they carried were limited after all, and soon these supplies were snatched away by the surviving victims.
Looking at the blood-stained, helpless and painful faces, Luo Geping and others burst into tears on the spot.
What we cry is the suffering our compatriots suffer, and what we cry is that we do not have enough strength to help them.
Fortunately, not long after, the people's soldiers who opened the road through the iron foot board also arrived at the disaster area. The supplies and equipment they brought were much stronger than those of Luo Geping and others.
The severe disaster here made these strictly trained troops feel sorry for them.
After contacting the regular troops, Luo Geping knew that his group of people was weak, so he turned to their main destination, Yingxiu Town Central Primary School, where they wanted to use the final clues left by Xiaoxiuxiu to find out her whereabouts.
On the original site of the relatively new teaching building in the past, Luo Geping and others saw the collapsed teaching building. There were only crooked cement prefabricated slabs left on the ruins. At the school gate, there were seven or eight little girls with dirt and messy hair carrying bedding and other supplies, turning helplessly. The dull eyes clearly expressed the fear of having just experienced an earthquake.
"Children, where are your classmates and teachers?"
Luo Geping couldn't wait to ask whether the little girl who had lived after the disaster was awake at this moment:
The little girl pointed at the ruins with her fingers and said in horror:
"Students...they...they are still below, and the teacher is below."
Her voice was weak and small, almost like an ant calling. Fortunately, there was a child next to her who added it, Luo Geping finally figured out the situation.
When the earthquake occurred, due to the sudden and violent nature, many students did not have time to run out at that time. Only a dozen elementary school students who were physical education classes in the playground survived. None of the dozen teachers at the school escaped and were buried under the ruins with the students.
Although Luo Geping has not received professional training in disaster relief, he often organizes "hikers" to experience survival challenges outdoors, so he has rich experience.
Judging from the situation on the scene, one of the two teaching buildings collapsed in an overall shattering manner. In this case, it is almost impossible to survive; while a four-story building next to it is still complete, but before the earthquake, it was a five-story building, and one of the floors completely subsided, and there is still a possibility of rescue here.
According to the surviving children, there are several teachers in the building who are in class and more than a hundred children.
Luo Geping decided to carry out rescue efforts to target the survivors of this building before the arrival of professional rescue troops.
......
When the search and rescue team of the Hanhai Fire Brigade rushed to Yingxiu Town Central Primary School, Luo Geping and his "hikers" team had rescued five survivors.
There are no professional tools or rescue equipment, they only have simple shovels and crowbars, and they can only rely on their own hands to dig, but they have saved lives.
Looking at these unprofessional but with unprofessional courage and perseverance, Wang Wei, captain of the search and rescue team of the Hanhai Fire Brigade, patted Luo Geping on the shoulder and said in a deep voice:
"Thank you for your hard work, let us leave the next task."
Luo Geping nodded. His face showed no sign of relaxation, and he still said heavier:
"You must save the child first, the children won't last long."
Wang Wei frowned and ordered his men to quickly carry the professional equipment, heavy dismantling equipment, life detectors, generators, etc. on the scene to search for survivors with signs of life.
After searching for professional equipment, the search and rescue team determined that there were more than 20 survivors with signs of life in the surviving four-story building. The search and rescue team members used instruments to explore the ruins of the Tao, and the children's faint and dull requests for help were vaguely heard.
Wang Wei and the search and rescue team quickly formulated a scientific search and rescue plan based on the on-site situation and implemented it immediately.
......
When Ren Pingsheng arrived at the disaster area of Yingxiu Town Central Primary School, Wang Wei and the Hanhai Fire Brigade Search and Rescue Team had saved 12 lives.
There are also some children who have been suppressed for too long and have a complex rescue environment. After being rescued, they did not persist and have closed their eyes.
Looking at the corpse covered with white cloth by the ruins, Ren Pingsheng felt his feet numb, but fortunately, the bodies under these white cloths were not adults.
But Ren Pingsheng was also a little worried at the same time. Xiao Lian was probably still under the ruins at this moment. Will she still survive?
Under the guidance of the captain of the National Earthquake Relief Team led by the team, he contacted Wang Wei from the search and rescue team of the Hanhai Fire Brigade.
Wang Wei, who had not closed his eyes for two days and two nights, had bloodshot eyes and black stains on his face. After connecting with both sides, he learned about the purpose of the command center, frowned and whispered:
"Through the life detector, it was indeed discovered that there was a sign of life that an adult survived, but I don't know if it was the person you were looking for."
Wang Wei hesitated for a moment and added:
"She was trapped in a very complicated situation, so we didn't know how to start a rescue."
Ren Pingsheng held his hand heavily and said solemnly:
"Captain Wang, she is a very important relative of me. Please save her."
The captain of the National Earthquake Relief Team nodded and said:
"Ren Chen is a positive example of the country's earthquake relief and disaster relief. He has made a lot of contributions to the rescue work ahead. We will do our best to rescue this female teacher."
Wang Wei looked at the man in front of him. Although he did not have too much dust on his body, the fatigue and pain in his eyes were obvious.
Over the past year, Ren Pingsheng has frequently appeared in the media. As a native of Hanhai City, Wang Wei naturally knew his reputation.
At this moment, the young billionaire actually ventured to the earthquake zone, which shows how important this buried survivor is to him, and the superiors also issued an order to rescue the trapped person with all their might. In this case, he could not refuse this request.
Wang Wei looked at Ren Pingsheng seriously and said softly:
