When it was time to change shifts, the exhausted soldiers evacuated the scene and took advantage of the free time to rest, drink water, and eat.
Usually they can't sleep and can only sit together and stare.
As soon as the food was swallowed, they would occasionally think of the scenes they had seen in the past two days, and they would vomit uncontrollably, lying in the grass, and vomiting in the ruins for most of the day. However, they had to eat, and they would still put the food into their stomachs without chewing it.
plug.
Because once the stomach is empty, there is no strength, and they need physical strength to do more things.
…
The rescue started two days ago and is far from over.
In addition to searching and rescuing the living and excavation and finding the dead, they also need to take care of the survivors. Soldiers are busy setting up tents, and doctors and nurses are responsible for treating the injured.
There are still aftershocks in the past two days.
Some soldiers were injured during the rescue process, some were forced to have their limbs amputated, and some died.
All the doctors and nurses saw was tragedy.
Injured people will be brought here at any time, and they need to cheer up and work at any time, because a moment of slackness can cost a life.
There were too many dead, and they tried to avoid them.
One less is one.
…
Mo Shangjun, who had just helped dig out the bodies of the mother and son who were hugging each other from the rubble, exhaled and followed the two soldiers to the vicinity of the cleared ruins.
The two soldiers went to receive the food in a languid and silent manner.
Mo Shangyun found a stone and sat down on it.
This is the third day after the earthquake.
The GS9 team members did not go back, but stayed near the village where they finally arrived to help the assisting troops.
"You haven't eaten anything all day."
Zhou Weichi threw a pack of compressed biscuits over.
The biscuit flew through the air, and Mo Shangyun didn't look back. He stretched out his hand to catch it.
By coincidence, Zhou Weichi and Hu Li were both responsible for rescue in the surrounding area, and Mo Shangjun happened to bump into them.
They were surprised to see Mo Shangjun, but they didn't mind her staying with her team members to help.
"forget."
Mo Shangjun tore open the compressed biscuit and took a bite. The biscuit seemed to have no taste.
She chewed and swallowed the cookie.
Throat is a little dry.
"You forgot to take a break?"
Zhou Weichi walked up to Mo Shangyun and handed her another bottle of water.
Mo Shangjun took the water expressionlessly, paused for a moment, and then suddenly said: "I forgot."
After glancing at Mo Shangyun, Zhou Weichi knelt down next to her and smiled, "Why didn't you forget about yourself?"
While talking, he took out a cigarette and lit it for himself.
Mo Shangyun thought about it carefully and then said, "I forgot about it too."
Zhou Weichi paused for a moment and looked at her in confusion.
After unscrewing the bottle cap and taking a sip of water, Mo Shangyun turned his head to look at him and continued: "At this time, it's better not to treat yourself as a human being."
"It's true," Zhou Weichi nodded for a long time, then looked at the ruins ahead and sighed, "It's uncomfortable. Several soldiers on my side are depressed. Their company commander applied to be transferred back for psychological counseling. He came back, but
Those who can hold on must stay, and someone must do this."
I heard that the mother and son who had just been dug up by Mo Shangjun, the child was just one month old, and the mother held him tightly in her arms. He did not die immediately, but spent a period of time shouting and helpless, and finally died in the aftershocks.
Ended this short life course.
How sad, how miserable.
If I'm not a human being and don't have so many emotions, I feel better at this time.
"Someone has to do it." Mo Shangyun nodded, looking thoughtful.
"You are so young, you probably have never participated in similar rescues." After taking a puff of cigarette, Zhou Weichi looked at her and asked, "Are you shocked?"
"It's okay." Mo Shangyun paused and said, "I haven't calmed down yet."
At the very least, she can still hold on until this trip is over.
After returning home, you need to make an appointment with Song Xiuliang for tutoring time. Each participating team member must do so one after another.
This scene is so shocking that no one will be proud of being able to do this. They will only feel that the successive events and scenes torture them and can make them collapse at any time.
"It's normal." Zhou Weichi nodded and said.
After a while, after finishing the cigarette in his hand, Zhou Weichi pinched the butt and threw it into the gravel at his feet.
"We have heard about your story on and off." He simply took out another cigarette and lit it, and then asked again, "Have you been scolded a lot?"
You can't be idle. When you are idle, you can't help but recall it. This is equivalent to torture for yourself.
After swallowing the biscuit in his mouth, Mo Shangyun raised his head and took a sip of water, then looked at Zhou Weichi with an unclear expression, and finally laughed and cursed, "I'm really scolded."
As far back as I can remember, apart from this time, I have only been scolded by Liang Zhiqiong's father.
This time it is not a one-man show, but a group of people facing each other to attack.
The scene is not ordinary spectacular.
"Just get used to it." Zhou Weichi said, "You can't reason with them, you can only accept it. There's nothing you can do, and they can't do anything. They also know that you guys can't do anything, but they need a little hope and want to grab a little bit.
Life-saving straw. They are so confused when they encounter such a huge natural disaster."
"I know."
Mo Shangyun said softly and took another bite of the compressed biscuit.
There's something in my stomach, but I'm not that nauseous anymore.
"But we..." Mo Shangyun paused and said, "Well, we have to feel aggrieved."
She still remembered the blood that flowed from Yan Gui's body the moment after he was hit;
She still remembered those cruel and vicious humiliating curses;
She still remembered those indifferent and even hateful eyes...
Of course, she also remembered the village where the entire army was wiped out and not a single person could be seen;
She still remembers the hand with the flower leather band on the wrist, the color opposite is bright;
She also remembered the shocking tragic scenes and those tears of gratitude...
What she had experienced, seen, and felt in the past two days was so much that she could not sort it out one by one.
Zhou Weichi wiped his face and opened his mouth, wanting to comfort her, but he didn't know how to comfort her.
We are all human beings, and they all have emotions and desires. Just because they are wearing military uniforms, they rush to the front line to charge immediately. They cannot fight back when they are wronged and insulted. They have to digest it by themselves after suffering from the warmth and coldness of others...
They are brave and fearless and admirable.
But no one remembers it.
All I can say is that those who choose this profession are selfless.
Those who choose this profession and continue doing it are great.
Those who chose this profession, experienced some things and decided to continue doing it... He didn't want to praise him because some people ridiculed them as fools.
"But your contribution is obvious to all," Zhou Weichi sighed, "Everyone is amazed. You completed all the survey work in two days, and the dangerous roads and disasters in each village allowed the follow-up rescue forces to provide targeted assistance and support.
No more running around like a blind man, wasting time. How many survivors are there in the village, how many relief supplies have been sent, how much support has been sent... Seriously, it's so helpful. Those who have obtained specific data are wondering where you are.
The fairy troops that came here investigated the data so completely in such a short period of time."
Zhou Weichi sighed and looked at Mo Shangyun with sincere admiration, "Even among the special forces, you are the most efficient I have ever seen."
"Really?" Mo Shangyun raised his eyebrows and smiled suddenly, "I'm proud of them."
Zhou Weichi nodded and said seriously: "I am honored for you."
"Are you so willing to take advantage of the glory?" Mo Shangjun teased.
Zhou Weichi said generously: "Oh, what difference do we have between you and me?"
Mo Shangjun muttered: "I'll give you face."
"You little kid..."
Zhou Weichi subconsciously reached out to pat her shoulder, but when he thought about the difference between men and women, he silently took his hand back.
"By the way, Hu Li took his team to the next village. When he left, he asked me to give you something." Zhou Weichi suddenly reached for his pocket.
"Um?"
Mo Shangjun tilted his head.
She put the last bite of the compressed biscuit into her mouth.
Then, she saw Zhou Weichi hand over a longevity lock.
The shape is a bit delicate and pretty, but I don’t see anything special about it.
The only special thing is that Zhou Weichi got mud on his hands, and by the way, he got the longevity lock.
Seeing that there was nothing unusual about Zhou Weichi, Mo Shangyun handed the longevity lock to him. Mo Shangyun hesitated for a while, then raised his eyebrows curiously, "Is this for me?"
"yes."
Mo Shangjun blinked, "Why do I look so young?"
"Stop talking nonsense and keep it."
Zhou Weichi forced the longevity lock into Sai Mo Shangyun's hands.
This thing was a bit cold, so Mo Shangyun held it in his hand and looked at it, "What do you mean?"
"He prepared this for his son." Zhou Weichi curled his lips and said.
"ha?"
Mo Shangyun was stunned for a moment.
After a pause, Zhou Weichi added: "But now I give it to you."
Feeling something was wrong, Mo Shangyun couldn't help but ask: "What is going on?"
"Oh, it's nothing," Zhou Weichi waved his hand and said, "No, it's just the past two days. His child was due to be born. He had taken leave and planned to leave the next day, but something like this happened that night.
I've been delayed because of the business. The news just came last night. The baby came out successfully. He weighs eight and a half pounds and is a healthy big fat boy."
Because we were enemies once, when talking about this, Zhou Weichi inevitably complained a few words, "You know my relationship with him, right? We can quarrel when we meet. Half a year ago, my family gave birth to a daughter. Oh, don't mention how cute she is.
...Tsk, his son is simply incomparable!"
Mo Shangyun interrupted him helplessly, "Please take it easy!"
Zhou Weichi waved his hand, "You little brat, you don't understand how it feels to be a parent!"
"..."
Mo Shangjun curled his lips.
"That's right, when my baby was born, I bought a long-life lock, which is so beautiful. A man like him who doesn't know anything, hey, he came to me specifically to ask for advice, and he was so humble--"
Raising his hand to press his eyebrows, Mo Shangjun couldn't help interrupting him again, "To tell the truth, calm down and brag. With Battalion Commander Zhou's temper, he would at most be looking for your help with a black face."
"Go, go, go," Zhou Weichi said in excitement. He complained to her and then brought the topic back to the topic, "In short, he begged me, and I specially asked for half a day off to accompany him to choose this.
"
Speaking of this, Zhou Weichi was overjoyed, fearing that he would take this opportunity to feel proud at Hu Li's place.
"Then why give it to me?" Looking at the exquisite longevity lock in his hand, Mo Shangjun couldn't help but ask.
"Didn't he want a daughter? He bought the longevity lock from a good store, but he didn't expect that he would be born into a boy. So he went back and bought another one." Zhou Weichi explained, "Before he left, he talked to me.
Regarding your matter. To be honest, he regrets being prejudiced against you in the past. We all know how much help everything you have done this time. Maybe he has become emotional after having children, so listen
I'm quite sympathetic to your experience... No, seeing that you are a girl, you have to let me lock up your longevity to you when you leave, just think of it as a souvenir."
Zhou Weichi said it quite casually.
Naturally, he didn't tell Mo Shangjun exactly.
He and Hu Li chatted all morning about what happened to Mo Shangyun and the others.
These are all young people, unlike them, most are in their early twenties, the youngest is said to be only 14 years old, and some of them are women.
Who is not loved by parents?
Serving as a soldier at this age should be full of passion and hope.
Many of the children of today's generation accept death and are naive.
They will feel that if I am good to you, you will be good to me; they will feel that I am doing my best to help, and even if you are not grateful, you will not be malicious towards me; they will feel that the world is right and wrong.
Clearly, right is right, wrong is wrong, good is good, and bad is bad.
One axis.
It is hard for them to imagine that such a group of outstanding warriors with sincere hearts still need to be slandered and reviled after making such great achievements.
And what kind of shock and blow they endured in these two days, as they were the first to go through this experience.
He and Hu Li had been in the army for a long time and had experienced some things. They felt sorry for these people, but they chatted for a long time and didn't know what to do.
When he finally left, Hu Li only took out this longevity lock that he had carefully selected for his child, saying that he would give it to Mo Shangyun as a blessing and a token of his gratitude.
May you live a long life and live in peace.
May you be strong and brave and remain standing.
May you go through the world with sincerity forever.
After staring at the longevity lock in his hand for a while, Mo Shangyun smiled and put it away.
She tilted her head and said, "Tell him thank you for me."
Zhou Weichi smiled and said, "It's not like I can't see him anymore. Go tell him yourself."
"OK."
Mo Shangyun nodded happily.
There were some grievances with Hu Li before, but now, those small grievances are nothing.
"Speaking of which, is Captain Yan here too?" Zhou Weichi asked enthusiastically.
She was stunned for a moment, and the look in Mo Shangyun's eyes dimmed instantly. She said softly: "...No."
"not coming?"
Zhou Weichi was also stunned.
Soon, he noticed that something was wrong with Mo Shangyun's expression. He couldn't help but be startled and asked, "What's wrong?"
His eyes fell on the mineral water bottle. Mo Shangjun stared at the transparent and half-filled bottle of water for a while, then said after a while: "I participated in other tasks and haven't come back yet."
Didn't come back.
That means nothing happened.
"Oh." Zhou Weichi breathed a sigh of relief, "Don't worry, I'll be back."
"Um."
Mo Shangyun raised his eyebrows with a smile.
Will be back.
Although, this is already the sixth day...
But she still felt that Yan Tianxing would come back.
Because she hasn't seen Yan Tianxing yet.
If you don't find it, you are alive.
Zhou Weichi paused for a moment and wanted to say something to Mo Shangyun, but as soon as he opened his mouth, there was a vibration under his feet.
aftershock!
During the shaking, the two people immediately stood up.
There are ruins in front, but there is flat land behind. They are in a safe position, and they don't need to worry about their own situation. However, both of them are leaders, and subconsciously they are worried about their subordinates and local victims, so all the movements
All attracted their attention.
This was a relatively serious aftershock that lasted about half a minute. Several red brick houses not far away collapsed after being damaged many times.
The sound of collapse alarmed many people.
Soon, the aftershocks ended.
However, Mo Shangyun just glanced at the collapsed place and walked quickly over there.
"Girl, what do you want to do? It's dangerous over there!"
Zhou Weichi's voice shouted from behind.
Mo Shangyun's pace did not pause at all.
If he remembered correctly... Yan Gui, Ding Jing and Yu Yitong were all busy around here before!
After the aftershocks, the place where the outline of the building could be vaguely seen was now in ruins.
There are many people there.
At a glance, she saw Ding Jing and Yu Yitong, who were choking on dust and coughing.
