The next day, at four o'clock in the morning, the sky was slightly bright.
As the sunlight shines onto the Forty-Nine City, it illuminates the surroundings and makes the entire Forty-Nine City agitated.
People began to walk out of their homes and looked around.
Some people came to the homes of people who needed help and helped sort out the rubble.
Subsequently, management units at all levels began to exercise their powers and led people to take action.
Many workers also came to the factory to check on the situation.
Then, information from all parties was gathered together, and under unified command, actions were quickly launched.
The first thing to be restored was power.
Last night, the power department had mobilized manpower to check the lines, find problems and carry out emergency treatment.
At dawn, the power supply to important departments in Sijiu City had been restored, especially the telephones had been connected, allowing all parties to communicate in a timely manner.
Steel Plant.
Yang Xiaotao was guarding the big pot in the cafeteria, stirring the spoon constantly.
When he came to the kitchen, there were a lot of things, but he couldn't handle it all by himself.
Besides, he was also sleepy and hungry, so he simply ordered some noodles.
There are ready-made instant noodles in the space, and Yang Xiaotao doesn't choose, just cooks them in packages.
Then throw in the eggs and chopped green onion, add oil and salt, and the pot of egg noodles is ready.
"Mr. Yang, your phone number!"
Just when Yang Xiaotao was tasting the salty taste, a person ran in from outside, it was An Zhongsheng, the director of the research institute.
"Phone? Whose is it?"
"It seems that he belongs to Secretary Liu and has something to do with you!"
After hearing this, Yang Xiaotao immediately handed the spoon to An Zhongsheng, "Let everyone eat something."
After saying that, he ran to the office.
When I arrived at the office, Wangcai was still wagging his tail and sleeping with his eyes closed.
"Secretary Liu, I am Yang Xiaotao!"
"Xiao Tao, I just received the news from above!"
"This time an earthquake occurred in Shunde, Hebei Province. The initial magnitude is estimated to be 7.0."
"Shunde, then, it's not far from Shicheng!"
Yang Xiaotao still has an impression of Shunde, which is located south of Shicheng.
But the Forty-Nine Cities further away from here have such a big influence. What will the scene be like in Shicheng, which is closer to here?
And how terrifying is the earthquake source?
Ji Province is a large and densely populated province. How many people were affected by this 7.0 earthquake...
Yang Xiaotao felt a little cold on his back.
I originally guessed that the earthquake might be around Sijiu City, but I didn't expect it to be so big.
With a magnitude of 7.0, this is definitely a natural disaster!
What Yang Xiaotao didn't know was that this earthquake actually happened in history, and its magnitude was 6.8.
It's just that this time is different from the previous one. The magnitude actually reached 7.0, which also caused greater damage than the original time and space.
While Yang Xiaotao was still sorting out the information, Liu Huaimin's voice came again.
"The call from Mr. Chen can't be reached in the area around the earthquake source. We don't know what's going on inside."
"I contacted the machine tool factory in Shicheng, but I couldn't get in touch."
Yang Xiaotao instantly understood what was going on.
Last time, Chen Bin and Pang Guo were sent to Shicheng to repair machine tools. It has been more than half a month and they have not returned.
When he contacted the other party, many parts were damaged and needed to be replaced.
Later, the other party felt that he had the ability to manufacture it, and also wanted to save some face, so he built it himself.
After a week of delay, it still didn't work, so I asked the machine shop to help make it and send it over.
It was just sent out a week ago. I don’t know what’s going on now, but I’m sure it’s still in Shicheng.
"Have you contacted the Seventh Machinery Department?"
"I asked, but the information over there is also unclear and I don't know the situation."
Yang Xiaotao's heart tightened, "Does the superior have any arrangements?"
"The news from Mr. Chen is that the nearby troops and militia have been dispatched to carry out search and rescue assistance."
"Others, there is no good way!"
Yang Xiaotao was silent for a moment, and then said, "I'll talk about it when I get back!"
After saying that, he hung up the phone, Yang Xiaotao took Wangcai out of the office and drove to the machinery factory.
Along the way, I saw people around me busy cleaning up the streets, and the scattered autumn leaves and branches were being sorted.
Some collapsed houses were also urgently cleared.
There were many ambulances running hurriedly on the road, and there were even people pushing platoon cars to the hospital.
Yang Xiaotao looked solemnly and drove quickly to the machinery factory.
I didn't notice it when I came last night, but now at dawn, I also found that the machinery factory was affected by the earthquake.
The security department at the entrance has been put under full martial law, and factory workers are also cleaning up urgently.
Yang Xiaotao quickly came to the office and saw Liu Huaimin making a phone call.
He found a place to sit down by himself, and then rubbed his temples.
"Yes, we do have people in Stone City."
"Yes, there is more than one, we must find them!"
"Local militia? No, we can't contact the place, so we can only inquire about the situation nearby!"
"Okay, thank you!"
After hanging up the phone, Liu Huaimin looked solemn.
"Is there no problem at the steel plant?"
Seeing Yang Xiaotao sitting aside, he hurriedly asked.
"It's okay. One converter was damaged and several others were injured!"
"How about the factory director?"
"I don't know, I didn't have time to ask."
The two talked for a while, and Liu Huaimin turned the topic to the previous phone call, "I called my colleagues in Baozhou. There was an accident on the railway there to Shicheng, and repairs are being carried out."
"What's going on in Shicheng? Do they know?"
"Well, I know something. There are fires in many places, and communication cannot be continued."
"Then, our people..."
Ring ring ring
The phone rang suddenly, and Liu Huaimin immediately picked it up.
"Hello, I'm Liu Huaimin!"
"Chief, tell me!"
"Yes, I understand, we will arrange it immediately!"
After hanging up the phone, Liu Huaimin stood up and said, "Mr. Chen's call, he is going south now and has the troops around Sijiu City go south immediately for rescue."
"The armored vehicles from our machinery factory have been mobilized and will set off immediately as the vanguard. At the same time, the gas stations along the way must be prepared to prepare fuel for the team."
"Someone will call the car soon. Say hello to Lao Xu at the gas station as soon as possible!"
After Liu Huaimin finished speaking, Yang Xiaotao did not move, but pondered for a moment and asked, "Are they going to Shunde?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Yes. Waiting for rescue over there!"
"Have you passed by Stone City?"
"should be!"
Yang Xiaotao raised his head, "Then I'll take someone to follow me, just in time to go to Shicheng!"
"no!"
"Old Liu, we sent the people out. If you delay for one minute now, you may be in more danger!"
"If I don't go, if something happens, we will feel bad."
Liu Huaimin looked troubled, "But, it doesn't have to be you!"
"Only if I do this can I not regret it."
Seeing Yang Xiaotao's firm words, "Besides, an official as big as Mr. Chen has already gone, so what's going to happen if I go there?"
Having said this, Liu Huaimin couldn't make up his mind for a moment.
"Xiaoqiang, find Lao Yang!"
After thinking about it, I decided to let Yang Youning come and give me some advice.
Xiaoqiang at the door immediately opened the door. Yang Youning, who was also on the phone, said a few words, hung up and came over immediately.
"What's wrong?"
"What are you going to do, kid?"
"Don't bother!"
As soon as Yang Youning came in and saw Yang Xiaotao and Yang Xiaotao standing, he immediately stepped forward to make a joke.
"Lao Yang, Xiao Tao is going to Shicheng!"
"Why?"
Yang Youning frowned, and then Yang Xiaotao told the situation.
"No! You are not allowed to go!"
Yang Youning immediately refused, and then added without waiting for Yang Xiaotao to say, "If you want to go, I will go too!"
"I'm familiar with that place!"
"Stop getting involved. At your age, you still don't know who is going to rescue whom!"
"That's right, don't follow this nonsense!"
Yang Xiaotao and Liu Huaimin immediately replied, and Yang Youning curled his lips.
"Let's leave it at that. They're still in a hurry to use the car. I'll discuss it with Lao Liang and see who can be sent there!"
Yang Xiaotao knew that this matter couldn't wait, so he cut through the mess quickly and straightforwardly.
Seeing Yang Xiaotao going out, Liu Huaimin had no choice.
He also knew in his heart that it was necessary to send people to rescue at this time.
But who to send is really worth considering.
And what Yang Xiaotao said was reasonable. Mr. Chen went there, and the machinery factory sent a second-in-command, who also made sense.
Yang Xiaotao came to the training office and explained the situation. Liang Zuoxin immediately asked people to assemble the armored vehicles and said at the same time, "Don't go, I will take people there!"
"Forget it, Lao Liang, it's better for me to do this!"
Yang Xiaotao spoke, and Liang Zuoxin was silent for a moment, and then said, "Not long after you left last night, someone from the Siheyuan sent some food and left some for you!"
"You have to hurry up. I didn't eat this night. I just ordered noodles, but I got a call..."
Not long after, we arrived at the door of the machinery factory.
Including the newly produced armored vehicles, there are a total of thirty-two vehicles in the entire factory, arranged neatly.
Yang Xiaotao was sitting in the last car, holding a steamed bun in his hand and chewing on it. Sitting next to him were Wang Hao and Zhou Kui.
Zhou Kui took the initiative to go and refused to listen no matter what he said.
Wang Hao is a part-time driver and has to take turns driving on the road.
The driver was Niu Jun, the former team captain. After hearing about this, he rushed over immediately.
The reason for going was that he was familiar with the road.
Of course, he also has selfish motives, that is, he wants to show off.
When I was at the steel rolling mill, I was implicated in Wang Weijun's incident because of my bad manners and poor understanding of people, and I lost my position as team captain.
Later, I got up step by step, but there were still obstacles in my heart.
This trip south is to remove this obstacle.
As for the co-pilot, sitting there was Chen Gong, who was squinting his eyes at this moment.
In Chen Gong's words, he is familiar with it.
Whether it is a machine tool factory or a famous factory in Shicheng, I have dealt with him a lot, and when I need help, I will give him a favor.
Everyone thought about it for a while before agreeing to let him follow.
In this way, the entire rescue team consists of five people and one dog.
In addition, they also carried some tools, medicines and coats, as well as water and food for several people on the road.
"Be sure to slow down on the road and follow the team!"
"What's the matter? Safety first!"
Yang Youning was chattering on the side, looking a little worried.
Liu Huaimin said nothing and smoked a cigarette.
Liang Zuoxin handed a pistol to Yang Xiaotao, "Hold it for self-defense!"
Yang Xiaotao took it and finished the steamed bun, "By the way, you go and tell me about it at my house."
"Know!"
"rest assured!"
Everyone nodded.
"Also, you should also pay attention to the factory director."
Yang Xiaotao thought of something, and Yang Youning nodded, "Don't worry, I have arranged for someone to wait at the hospital. There is no news now, which is good news."
Yang Xiaotao nodded. At this time, the sound of trumpets was heard from the front, and everyone knew that it was time to set off.
The next moment, the driver from the army immediately started the armored vehicle and slowly left the machinery factory.
Niu Jun started the car and followed the team.
"Take care of yourself!"
"be safe!"
There were shouts from people behind them, and Yang Xiaotao and others waved their hands and slowly closed the car door.
