Chapter 1674: Going south to rescue people
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.
Someone came to the house that needed help and helped sort out the rubble.
Subsequently, management units at all levels began to exercise their powers and led people to start taking action.
Many workers also came to the factory to check the situation.
Then, information from all parties was gathered, and under unified command, actions were quickly launched.
The first thing to be restored was the power.
Last night, the power department had mobilized manpower to check the lines, find problems and carry out emergency treatment.
At dawn, power supply to important departments in Sijiu City had been restored, especially the telephone calls, which allowed all parties to communicate in a timely manner.
Steel factory.
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 sleepy and hungry, so he simply ordered some noodles.
There are ready-made instant noodles in the space, and Yang Xiaotao doesn't choose, and 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 food, a person ran in from outside, and it was An Zhongsheng, the director of the research institute.
“Phone? Whose is it?”
"It seems to be from Secretary Liu. I have something to do with you!"
After hearing this, Yang Xiaotao immediately handed the spoon to An Zhongsheng, "You let everyone eat something."
After that, he ran to the office. .
When he 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 is an earthquake in Shunde, Hebei Province. The initial magnitude is estimated to be 7.0."
"Shunde, then, that's far away from Shicheng It’s not far!”
Yang Xiaotao still has an impression of Shunde, which is located in the south of Shicheng.
But the Four Nine Cities further away from here have such a great influence. What will the scene be like in Shicheng City, 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 only 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.
Magnitude 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 ones. 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 contacted 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 have been unable to contact him. .”
Yang Xiaotao instantly understood what was going on.
The 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 make it, and also wanted to save some face, so he made it himself.
After a week of delay, it still didn’t work, so I asked the machinery factory 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 the person is definitely still in Shicheng.
"Have you contacted the Seventh Machinery Department?"
"I asked, but there is no information there, and I don't know the situation."
Yang Xiaotao felt tight, "The superiors have What are the arrangements?”
“The news from Mr. Chen is that the nearby troops and militia have been sent 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, and Yang Xiaotao took Wangcai with him I left the office and drove to the machine 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 towards the hospital.
Yang Xiaotao looked solemnly and drove quickly to the machinery factory.
I didn’t notice it when I came last night. 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 the 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 and then rubbed his temples.
“Yes, we do have people in Shicheng.”
“Yes, there is more than one, we must find them!”
“Local militia? No, we will contact you If you don’t have a place, you can only ask about the situation nearby! ”
“Okay, thank you!”
After hanging up the phone, Liu Huaimin looked solemn.
"Is there no problem at the steel factory?"
Seeing Yang Xiaotao sitting aside, he hurriedly asked.
“Not bad, one converter was damaged and a few others were injured!”
“How is the 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 phone call just now, "I called my colleagues in Baozhou, and the railway from there to Shicheng There was an accident and repairs are underway."
“Do they know what is going on in Shicheng?”
“Well, I know a little bit. Many places are on fire, and communication cannot be continued.”
“Then, let’s People…”
Ring ring ring
The phone rang suddenly, and Liu Huaimin picked it up immediately.
“Hello, I’m Liu Huaimin!”
“Chief, tell me!”
“Yes, I understand, we will make arrangements immediately!” After hanging up the phone, Liu Huaimin stood up , "Mr. Chen's call, he is going south now, and let the troops around Sijiu City go south immediately for rescue."
"The armored vehicles from our machinery factory have been mobilized. They 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."
"The vehicles will be mobilized immediately. , at the gas station Say hello to Lao Xu as soon as possible!"
After Liu Huaimin finished speaking, Yang Xiaotao did not move, but thought for a moment and asked, "They are going to Shunde?"
"Yes. Waiting for rescue!”
"Have you passed by Shicheng?"
"Probably!"
Yang Xiaotao raised his head, "Then I will take someone to follow, just in time to go to Shicheng!"
"No!"< br>
"Old Liu, we sent the people out. If we delay for one minute now, we may be in more danger!"
"If I don't go, something will happen, and we will feel uncomfortable."
Liu Huaimin looked tangled, "But, it doesn't have to be you!"
"Only I will go for this matter, Talent should not be left behind Regret."
Seeing that Yang Xiaotao said firmly, "Besides, if a big official like Mr. Chen is gone, what will happen if I go there?"
After saying this, Liu Huaimin was stunned for a moment. Can't make up my mind.
"Xiaoqiang, find Lao Yang!"
After thinking about it for a while, he let Yang Youning come to persuade him.
Xiaoqiang at the door immediately opened the door. Yang Youning, who was also on the phone, said a few words and came over immediately after hanging up.
“What’s wrong?”
“What are you going to do again?”
"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.
"Old Yang, Xiaotao is going to Shicheng!"
"Why?"
Yang Youning frowned, and then Yang Xiaotao told the situation.
"No! You're not allowed to go!"
Yang Youning immediately refused, and then added without waiting for Yang Xiaotao to say, "I'm going to go too!"
"I know it there!"
"Don't get involved. At your age, you still don't know who is rescuing whom!"
"Just don't follow this nonsense!"
Yang Xiaotao and Liu Huaimin immediately replied, and Yang Youning curled his lips.
"Let's leave it like this. They are still in a hurry to use the car. I'll discuss it with Lao Liang and see who will be sent!"
Yang Xiaotao knew that this matter couldn't wait, so he made a quick move. Messy, straightforward and good.
Seeing that Yang Xiaotao was 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, which 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, old man Liang, it’s better for me to go there!”
Yang Xiaotao spoke, and Liang Zuoxin was silent for a moment, and then said, “Not long after you left last night, someone from Siheyuan sent some food and left it for you. Click!”
"You have to hurry up. I didn't eat this night. I just ordered noodles, and then I got a call..."
Not long after, we were 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 wanted to go on his own initiative and would not 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 is that he is familiar with that 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 unkind behavior and poor understanding of people. 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, if you deal with it a lot, you will give him a favor when you need help.
Everyone thought about it and then agreed to let him follow.
In this way, the entire rescue team consists of five people and one dog.
In addition, we 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!”
“If anything happens, safety first!”
Yang Youning was chattering on the side, looking a little worried.
Liu Huaimin said nothing and smoked.
Liang Zuoxin handed a pistol to Yang Xiaotao, "Hold it for self-defense!"
Yang Xiaotao took it and finished the steamed buns, "By the way, you guys go and say something to my house."
“Know!”
"Don't worry!"
Everyone nodded.
"Also, you should pay attention to the factory director."
What did Yang Xiaotao think of? Yang Youning nodded, "Don't worry, I have arranged for someone to wait at the hospital. Now There is no news, but it’s 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 then slowly left the machinery factory.
Niu Jun started the car and followed the team.
"Take care!"
"Be safe!"
The shouts of people came from behind, Yang Xiaotao and others waved their hands and slowly closed the car door.
