For Lin Qiye and the others, this landslide was just an episode in their progress. The menacing natural disaster could not stop their progress. They quickly adjusted their condition and ran forward according to their original route.
As time passed by, they were getting closer and closer to Village No. 1.
Muddy stains were stained on the surface of the military coat, blending with the black color. The boots sank into the soft soil again and again, and when they were pulled out with force, the mud and leaves from the jungle had long been mixed into the shoes. It was indescribably uncomfortable.
.
Cold, hunger, fatigue, pain... all kinds of negative feelings shrouded their hearts, but no one said they were tired.
After this year of training, they have already become accustomed to it.
They are no longer the ordinary people they were before entering the training camp. Now, they are soldiers who are about to take the oath to become the Night Watchmen!
The walkie-talkie on Instructor Hong's waist rang. He reached out and pulled it out, running forward while talking to the other side of the walkie-talkie.
After a while, his brows furrowed tightly.
"Instructor Hong, what happened?" Lin Qiye keenly noticed the change in Instructor Hong's expression and asked.
Instructor Hong was silent for a moment, then said hoarsely: "The leader is missing."
"Missing?" Baili Pangpang was stunned.
"He disappeared eight hours ago. The last people who saw him were two instructors who stayed at the temporary command point. They thought that the leader had gone to a certain village to help with the rescue, but they asked every village and didn't see him.
figure."
"So they also came to ask us if we saw it?"
"That's right, but we haven't arrived at Village No. 1 yet, so we don't know the situation." Instructor Hong thought for a while, "But at the speed of the chief, if we really go to Village No. 1, it probably won't even take two hours. Maybe he
It’s already here a long time ago.”
"Then how far are we from Village No. 1?" Lin Qiye asked.
Instructor Hong thought for a while, compared the previously recorded map in his mind, and said: "At this speed, it will take about half an hour, but we have been running for so long, do you want to take a break?"
"We're almost there." Baili Pangpang, who was covered in sweat, gritted his teeth, "Don't rest! Rush over in one breath!"
No one else had any objections, so everyone speeded up again and galloped towards Village No. 1.
Soon, the surrounding trees gradually became sparse, and the field of vision became wider and wider. In the distance, a broken corner of a village buried by mudslides vaguely emerged.
The nine people stopped in front of the ruins and gasped violently. Sweat mixed with raindrops fell to the ground, and the skirts under their military coats were completely soaked.
"The leader didn't come here." Instructor Hong glanced at the ruins, frowned and said, "He is really missing..."
"The leader is a strong man in the sea realm. There shouldn't be any accidents. Maybe he just left early because of something." Deng Wei said with some uncertainty.
Instructor Hong did not answer. Maybe these recruits didn't know much about what kind of person Yuan Gang was, but they, the instructors, knew very well that in this case, it was absolutely impossible for Yuan Gang to abandon them who were still in the rescue.
He ran away without saying a word and went to do other things.
There must have been some accident that they didn't know about...
Instructor Hong took a deep breath and said, "Let's forget it for now. It's important to save people. Spread out the rescue according to the original division of labor. Everyone should bring their own weapons. If you find anything wrong, call someone immediately!"
"yes!"
The remaining eight people scattered around. Lin Qiye was responsible for using his abilities to search for the specific location of the victims. Shen Qingzhu, Molly, Baili Pangpang, Deng Wei, Li Jia, Li Liang and Instructor Hong were responsible for excavation and rescue. Wen Qingqing
Responsible for treating the wounded.
Lin Qiye's figure quickly wandered through the villages full of ruined walls. Whenever he detected a survivor, he would use the star knife to carve a "ten" on the soil or wall.
With the use of the forbidden ruins completely released, the rescue speed of several other people was also astonishingly fast. One survivor after another was rescued by them, and then concentrated in a dilapidated house that could barely shelter from the rain.
Wen Qingqing provides treatment.
Village No. 1 in the valley is not large in scale and has much fewer people than the other villages. After all, there are too few people who are willing to live in the mountains in this era. Most of them are elderly people who stay at home.
There are a few young people who have grown up here for generations and are unwilling to leave.
In addition, the No. 1 rescue team launched the rescue very quickly. In less than half an hour, they had rescued all the survivors.
"Rescue Team No. 1 reported that the rescue operation has ended. There are 17 survivors in Village No. 1. They have received preliminary treatment and are waiting for follow-up rescue teams."
Instructor Hong used the walkie-talkie to report the situation to the temporary headquarters, and soon received confirmation from the headquarters.
"The rescue team will probably arrive in one day. Until then, we have to stay here to protect the wounded." Instructor Hong turned to the people who were resting against the broken wall and said.
"What happens after the rescue team arrives? Shall we go down the mountain with them?" Baili Pangpang asked.
Instructor Hong shook his head, "No, when they are about to arrive, we will go down the mountain on our own to avoid meeting them head-on."
Everyone nodded, suddenly understanding.
They are a team that conducts early rescue before the regular search and rescue team arrives, and they belong to the Night Watch organization. In other words, in the eyes of the regular rescue team, they are a rescue team that does not exist.
If you meet the regular rescue team at that time, it will easily cause some trouble.
Nine figures in black military coats leaned against the wall. The short broken wall above their heads blocked part of the wind and rain, but there were still raindrops falling on them and slowly sliding to the ground.
Baili Pangpang drooped his head and shook slightly, his eyes seemed to be attracted by magnets, ready to close at any time, while Li Jia, Deng Wei and others on the other side had already fallen asleep.
They are too tired.
Nine hours of running in extreme conditions without a break. After arriving, they began to rescue desperately, which almost drained every ounce of their strength. You must know that the average age of these eight recruits is only 20 years old.
Molly looked up at the rain falling from the sky, slightly in a trance. Suddenly, a head suddenly hit her shoulder. She subconsciously prepared to avoid it, but when she saw the tired and determined face under the military cap, she was moved again.
He stopped his body.
Baili Pangpang fell asleep.
He slept so deeply that he didn't even notice that his body fell on Molly's shoulder.
Molly looked at his face blankly and struggled for a moment, but she still did not choose to push him away, but let him lean on her.
She pursed her lips and turned to look at the continuous heavy rain. She seemed to have thought of something, and a faint blush appeared on her face.
In his sleep, the corners of Baili's fat mouth raised slightly.
