Underground, 100 lanes.

Jiang Yunhao and the rescuers are moving forward with difficulty.

Since the tunnel has long been abandoned, it is difficult to identify where each passage leads.

In addition, some places have collapsed seriously, so it is not difficult to accurately find the way to Lane 102.

Jiang Yunhao and Mine Manager Ma walked at the front of the team, directing everyone to move forward. The two exchanged words from time to time.

After walking for a while, Jiang Yunhao's eyes lit up when he heard a rat squeaking nearby.

"Mine Manager Ma, there is rat activity, are we almost at the exit?"

Ma Yunbo nodded repeatedly, with a look of surprise on his face.

Rats are very useful companion animals in mines.

For miners, they often mean survival.

The reason is simple: there is gas underground, and this gas can suffocate people and cause explosions. Rats and miners live together underground, and they are also threatened by poisonous gas.

Rats are extremely sensitive to this gas. This kind of elf only appears in places where there is no poisonous gas, so miners feel a sense of security when they see rats.

In this special environment under the mine, miners and rats can form a relationship of mutual utilization and cooperation, where rats become the miners' partners and alarms.

If you see mice moving normally, it means the underground is relatively safe.

What Ma Yunbo didn't expect was that Jiang Yunhao knew this very well.

It seems that he was not lying when he said he had rich rescue experience in the army.

Unlike the cadres of the county committee and county government, Ma Yunbo not only did not look down upon the county magistrate who was born in the army, but actually developed a lot of affection for him.

Following the sound of rats moving forward, it didn't take long for a group of people to find their way down.

Jiang Yunhao went down first, followed by Ma Yunbo.

Looking at the empty surroundings, Jiang Yunhao couldn't help but ask: "Mine Manager Ma, are you sure this is Lane 102?"

"Confirm, County Magistrate. This is the transportation hub of Lane 102. They should be trapped not far ahead."

Ma Yunbo's voice trembled slightly.

Hearing Ma Yunbo's affirmative answer, Jiang Yunhao's brows finally relaxed.

The location of the accident has been found and the rescue route has been opened. As long as the subsequent rescue work is carried out step by step, there will be no problems.

It has been less than twelve hours since the accident occurred. Based on the experience of mine workers, the trapped people should be safe.

"Everyone, please work harder. Let's go and bring out the trapped brothers."

Looking at the rescuers behind him, Jiang Yunhao waved his arms and said cheerily.

…

Licheng County Party Committee.

In the secretary's office, County Party Secretary Zhao Guohai took a puff of cigarette and frowned deeply.

On the guest sofa opposite him, Li Li, director of the county party committee office, was reporting to him the latest progress in the rescue work.

"Secretary, the police and fire fighters have already stationed in the Zhongjing Town mine, and the rescue work is being carried out in an orderly manner..."

Zhao Guohai waved his hand and interrupted Li Li's words.

"I don't want to hear these, I want to hear the specifics!"

Li Li knew that the old leader was impatient and did not make any excuses.

She put down the notebook in her hand and went over to help Zhao Guohai refill water.

Li Li was promoted by Zhao Guohai.

After being spotted by Zhao Guohai, she worked her way from the deputy section chief of the comprehensive section of the county party committee office, to the section chief, to the deputy director, and now to the director.

It only took her ten years to complete a journey that others might never complete in a lifetime.

If we want to go further in the future, we must rely on this old leader.

But now, the old leader is in an unprecedented dilemma.

Li Li knew that she could not help at all in this matter.

The only thing she can do may be to help the old leader stabilize his mood.

The cell phone rang suddenly, breaking the silence in the office.

Li Li subconsciously glanced at the old secretary and saw Zhao Guohai wave his hand gently to her.

There was nothing to avoid with the old leader. Li Li retreated to the guest sofa and pressed the connect button on her phone.

"Director Li, I am Gong Xiaoqin."

On the other end of the phone, the voice of Gong Xiaoqin, member of the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee and Director of Propaganda, came.

Gong Xiaoqin and Li Li are almost the same in youth.

There are many areas where coordination and cooperation are required in the work of the County Party Committee Office and the Propaganda Department, and there are many opportunities for the two to interact with each other.

As they are both women, the two of them can still talk to each other.

In private, I occasionally call to greet and chat a few words.

"Director Li, the rescue work in the Zhongjing Town Mine is progressing smoothly. All trapped personnel have been safely rescued and are being sent to the hospital for a comprehensive examination... Just tell Secretary Zhao and I will go over and report the specific situation immediately."

"Ah, great!"

Hearing this, Li Li stood up excitedly, her hands shaking a little.

Everyone in the entire Licheng County knew that she was from Zhao Guohai.

If Secretary Zhao falls, she will definitely not have a good life.

After the accident in the Zhongjing Town mine yesterday, Li Li was in a state of anxiety and could not feel at ease.

It's okay now, it's finally sunny after the rain.

After hanging up the phone, before Li Li could speak, Zhao Guohai asked her first.

"It's Gong Xiaoqin, right? How is the rescue going?"

"Everyone has been rescued, Secretary."

Li Li was undoubtedly excited when she spoke, "Minister Gong will come over immediately and give you a detailed report."

After listening to Li Li's statement, Zhao Guohai finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Not long after, Gong Xiaoqin came to the office as promised.

Seeing her coming in, Zhao Guohai stood up and greeted her: "Here comes Minister Xiaoqin, sit down, sit down."

Li Li also greeted Gong Xiaoqin warmly, poured a glass of water for Gong Xiaoqin, and then sat next to her.

"Minister Xiaoqin, how is the rescue situation at the Zhongjing Town Mine? Do you, the propaganda minister, need to come and report on the work in person?"

Gong Xiaoqin put down the teacup and explained the latest situation.

"Secretary Zhao, just now, the search and rescue team successfully entered the mine and rescued all 115 trapped people."

Gong Xiaoqin stated what he learned one by one.

"Secretary, in our Propaganda Department, Vice Minister Shao Hongliang has been following County Magistrate Jiang since last night. According to him, it was County Magistrate Jiang who personally led the team to go down the well and worked with the rescuers to remove all the trapped people.

Rescued."

After hearing her introduction, Zhao Guohai nodded slightly.

Li Li on the side couldn't help but interjected: "County Magistrate Jiang personally led the team down the well? Minister Gong, is this Shao Hongliang exaggerating?"

"It's no exaggeration. According to Vice Minister Shao Hongliang's understanding of the situation, this is indeed the case."

Gong Xiaoqin explained, "County Magistrate Jiang has participated in many rescue operations in the army before and is very experienced. This underground rescue was indeed led by him and Director Ma. Director Ma himself also confirmed that during the rescue process,

County Magistrate Jiang’s correct leadership played a key role.”

After Gong Xiaoqin said these words, Li Li couldn't say anything anymore.

If anything else, it would be to question County Magistrate Jiang’s fraud.

Even though she is the director of the county party committee, she has no such courage.

"Okay, okay."

Zhao Guohai sighed repeatedly, "Minister Xiaoqin, regarding this underground rescue work in Zhongjing Town, your Propaganda Department immediately came up with a plan for publicity. Remember, Comrade Yun Hao must be highlighted in the publicity!"

"Okay, Secretary Zhao, I'll make arrangements right away."

Gong Xiaoqin nodded in agreement.

"In addition, regarding the corresponding supervision issues regarding safe mining in mines, your Propaganda Department should also come up with a charter as soon as possible and promote it throughout the county."

Zhao Guohai turned to Li Li: "Director Li, your county party committee office will see how you can cooperate with the Propaganda Department to push this work forward as soon as possible."

"Yes, Secretary, I will fully cooperate with Minister Gong's work."
