Lei Yan reported his name, but he did not report his name in the Overseas Chinese Association, because starting from the 10th, the identity of the Overseas Chinese Association's Dark Hall Blood Shadow no longer belonged to him. Even if the other person was also a member of the Overseas Chinese Association, he still saved it.
A hint of wariness.
The person on the other end of the phone was obviously stunned for a moment, but he quickly calmed down and said.
"Hello, Mr. Lei, what can I do for you?"
"I need a helicopter. I will arrive at Mianshi Airport in about five hours. I need a helicopter to take me to Washan Village in Sanyuan Town."
"Washan Village? Disaster area?"
When the other party said this, Lei Yan was a little surprised. Logically speaking, everyone had not woken up at this point, so they probably didn't know the news yet.
"Did you hear that too?"
"Mr. Lei, since Mr. Feng gave you my contact information, it means that I can help you here in Sichuan Province. I also just got the news that a flash flood broke out in Washan Village, Sanyuan Town, and the situation is critical. Now Tang City
It's already a first-level response there, and the local army has also dispatched rescue teams."
"Do you know the specific situation there? How large is the disaster area, and are the casualties serious?"
When Lei Yan heard what the other party said, he asked anxiously, hoping to hear some good news from the other party, but in the end he was disappointed and only heard the other party sigh.
"Sorry, I have just received the news, but I can help Mr. Lei to inquire. I believe that when you arrive at Mianshi Airport, you will definitely receive more news about the situation in the disaster area."
Lei Yan also knew that he was too anxious. Now that the other party had said so, he could only endure the worry and speak.
"Then I'll trouble you, Mr. Du."
After that, Lei Yan hung up the phone. Fortunately, there were no cars on the road at this time. He drove quickly and arrived at the airport in less than half an hour.
Parked the car, checked in, and had a smooth journey, arriving at the departure lounge in no time.
Only then did Lei Yan have time to sit down and slowly read the news on the Internet. However, at this time, there was not much news on the Internet about the specific situation in the disaster area. They were all news about the rescue teams entering the mountains.
However, from these news, Lei Yan can also see the situation in the disaster area. The roads are different and rescue is blocked. These are the most troublesome.
By the time Lei Yan was about to board the plane, there was finally some progress online. A local unit had sent a helicopter into the disaster area and was preparing to parachute into the hinterland where Washan Village was located.
After seeing this piece of news, Lei Yan was slightly relieved. He still respected the country's army very much. As long as they were here, there was no difficulty that could not be overcome. He hoped they could find Xiao Muyou.
For Lei Yan, every minute of the four-hour flight was a torture.
There was no way to know the situation in Sanyuan Town on the plane. Now he just hoped to hear some good news when he arrived in Mianshi.
But is this true? Apparently Lei Yan underestimated the extent of the flood damage.
The mountain roads are inherently narrow and cannot be accessed by large-scale rescue facilities. The digging of these mountain roads washed away by mudslides relies entirely on manpower. Five or six hours have passed since the rescue started, and the entire mountain road has only been dug for more than three kilometers.
There is still almost a kilometer of road away from Washan Primary School, and this is the steepest and most rugged section of the road.
It was already ten o'clock in the morning, and the first batch of rescuers from the army had indeed entered the disaster area via helicopter parachuting, but the situation here was far more complicated than initially expected.
The villages affected by the disaster this time were not only Washan Village, but also two villages below Washan Village. There were more than 200 people affected by the disaster.
Although the rain has stopped, the situation here is still very dangerous, because the landslide in Guaizi Slope caused the collapse of the surrounding mountains. The highland where Washan Primary School is now not absolutely safe. There are already some gravel rolling in the surrounding mountains.
Fallen.
Originally, this area was blocked by a row of low houses, but the previous flash flood destroyed the house, which meant that they lost a barrier. Xiao Muyou and the others could only gather all the children and move them as far away from the mountain as possible, but
This can only ensure safety for a period of time. If a large area of rubble falls, they cannot guarantee the safety of everyone.
Principal Qi and the others went to Washan Village and did not come back. They only sent someone back to report a message. The disaster in Washan Village was very serious. Only one-third of the people in Washan Village have been found so far. The others were either trapped in the house or
It was submerged by a mudslide. All in all, the situation was not optimistic.
"Be careful, some gravel is rolling down again."
At this time, a rapid sound sounded, and all the adults surrounded the children. They could only block it with tents to reduce the impact of the falling gravel.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...I want my mother...will we die here? Wuuuuuu..."
In the crowd, a thin little girl cried softly. When she cried, other children also started crying. They were all seven or eight-year-old children. How could they bear such a situation? For a moment, the scene was very tense.
mess.
When Xiao Muyou saw this, he immediately picked up the little girl who cried first and coaxed her.
"Kids, the rescuers will be here soon. Let's hold on for a while, okay?"
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu didn't someone jump from the sky just now? Why don't you just come? I'm so scared, I miss my mother, I want my mother..."
The child in Xiao Muyou's arms couldn't stop and was trembling all over. Xiao Muyou knew that they were afraid, and she was actually afraid too, but now she could only calm herself down.
"They went to rescue people who are more in need of help. Look at the destroyed villages at the foot of the mountain. Your classmates may be trapped there. The situation there is much more dangerous than ours, but everyone must believe it.
We will be rescued soon, and I believe the rescue team will arrive soon."
Xiao Muyou said loudly, wanting to encourage these children in this way.
After that, she said to the little girl in her arms.
"Kid, you haven't told me your name yet. I promise you, when we go out, I can help you contact your mother, okay?"
"Really? My mother works in a far away place and will only come back during the Chinese New Year."
"Of course it's true, I won't lie to you, so let's be brave, okay?"
After listening to Xiao Muyou's words, the little girl seemed to calm down a lot, stopped crying, and nodded with tearful eyes.
"Well, I promised my mother that I would be an obedient and sensible child. I would not cry and I would be brave."
"You're so good, don't worry, someone will come to rescue us soon."
With the comfort and guidance of the adults, the noisy scene just now gradually calmed down. The older children also helped to take care of the younger children. Forty or fifty people signed up to stay warm and waited for the rescue team.
arrival.
Time passed little by little, and Xiao Muyou and the others finally saw hope.
The rescue team that parachuted down at the beginning finally sent people to Washan Elementary School, but the current situation is still very bad, mainly because the village at the foot of the mountain was severely damaged. Most people stayed there to search for survivors, and here at Washan Elementary School
It was relatively safer on the other side, so the rescue team only sent four people over.
"Captain Lu, is the road out of the mountain still open?"
Captain Lu, one of the four people from the rescue team and the leader of the four, shook his head and said.
"I contacted you just now. The damage to the nearby mountain road is too serious. It won't be possible to dig it out for a while. Now they are still thinking of other ways. I came here to see the situation here first. Is anyone injured here?"
Xiao Muyou shook his head and said.
"That's not true, but these children have been trapped here for seven or eight hours, and their physical strength is a bit too much. I'm afraid there will be problems if we continue to stay. We originally planned to take the children away from here, but these children are too old.
Xiao, I'm afraid something might go wrong on the road, so I can only stay where you are and wait for you to come over."
"Ms. Xiao, your approach is very correct. The situation in the mountains is unclear now, and it is really not appropriate to walk around casually. Now we have a plan here, which is to use a transport plane to transport the children out. However, because there are too many injured people at the bottom of the mountain, we may have to wait for a few more
Hour."
Xiao Muyou sighed softly after hearing this, but there was no other way. Now there seemed to be no other choice but to wait, so he could only nod.
"Okay, that's all we can do. We will also pay attention to the children's emotions at all times. Even if we are watching here, it is not absolutely safe. We are afraid of another accident."
"Don't worry, the four of us will not leave here."
Captain Lu said firmly. After hearing this, Xiao Muyou finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the nerves that had been tense for several hours could relax a little. After all, there were more than forty children here who needed their care, and no one wanted to take care of them.
I can guarantee their absolute safety during this period.
At Mianshi Airport, Lei Yan didn't even leave the tarmac after getting off the plane. He directly saw Mr. Du who had been waiting there for a long time.
"Mr. Lei, I'm Du Ming, the helicopter you want is ready, it's over there."
As he said that, the man pointed to a helicopter not far away. Lei Yan was a little surprised. This was a civil aviation airport. It was possible to bring a helicopter in directly. Without some background, it would be impossible.
