Chapter 1411 Rescue in the Snowstorm
Lin Hao nodded and said, "Maybe the people on the plane didn't see us, so they ignored us!"

"So I want to hang a bed sheet up to the sky and write a plea for help on it."

"That's a great idea!" said Qin Xuemei. "I have a white bed sheet; I'll contribute it!"

"Hurry, hurry, hurry!" Everyone rushed into the cafeteria, and Qin Xuemei spread her bed sheet on a table.

Lin Hao took a brush and wrote two lines of text directly on it.

We've run out of food.

Call for help!

After finishing writing, Lin Hao used nails to secure the bed sheet to the four corners of the table, and then lifted the entire table to the doorway.

Then came the wait for the plane to fly by again, a wait that lasted a full five hours.

The good news was that the blizzard had stopped, making it easier for planes to see their distress signals. The bad news was that the planes still hadn't arrived.

"We're doomed, we're doomed, I feel like we've been abandoned!" Sui Zhichao lay down on the bed with a bitter smile.

"When we first came to the dam, Leader Yu told us that we would be workers in the early stages, but once the mechanized forest farm was established, we would all be cadres!"

"And what happened? We didn't become cadres, and we were going to starve to death on Saihanba!"

At this moment, Qin Xuemei said, "Sui Zhichao, don't be so pessimistic. Perhaps the leader is already thinking of a way to recruit us!"

Zhao Tianshan said firmly, "I believe there must be some reason why they didn't send us any grain!"

"I firmly believe that our leaders and the organization will never abandon us!"

Lin Hao also encouraged everyone, "Don't give up. Now that the plane has passed by, it might remind the leaders of the Agriculture Bureau."

"Buzz buzz buzz buzz~!" Just when everyone was about to despair, a roaring sound came from the sky again.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry!" Lin Hao was the first to rush out of the cafeteria, then moved the table to the open ground, and shouted to the crowd:

"Come here quickly, stand in a circle around the table, and when the plane passes overhead, you'd better hold the table up!"

"Okay!" everyone responded in unison.

Then, as the plane passed overhead, Lin Hao waved a red flag to attract the helicopter's attention!
The others formed a circle and then held up the table in an attempt to attract the plane's attention.

However, the plane did not stop at all and flew straight over our heads.

The crowd shouted again at the plane in the sky, "We're here!"

"Help! Help!"

The plane did not stop and gradually disappeared into the horizon. No one knew whether the people on the plane had heard their distress call.

Finally, the group reluctantly put down the table and walked back to the cafeteria listlessly.

······
"Oh, we've finally arrived!" Yu Zhenglai arrived at the Weichang Agricultural Bureau in a jeep.

Upon seeing their former leader return, the people from the Agriculture Bureau addressed Yu Zheng as he alighted from the car:

"Old boss, you're back!"

"Director Yu is back!"

"The leader is back!"

"Welcome, welcome!"

"Hello, hello, hello!" the two greeted each other, and then greeted others.

"Hello, young man!"

"Old Yu, my old leader!" At this moment, Qu He also came out to welcome him, saying, "What brings you here!"

Yu Zhenglai said earnestly:

"Old Qu, look at the weather! It's getting colder every day. It's been snowing for several days straight down here!"

"The area above the dam is definitely not small. I'm worried about it. I don't know if those college students can handle it there!"

"These days, I can't sleep at night, my mind is always on edge and I'm constantly worrying!"

"Oh, right, there's something else. The Ministry of Forestry sent a document, so I came up here to have a good discussion with us old buddies about the important matters for next spring!"

"What's the big deal?" Qu He asked curiously.

"Great news!" Yu Zheng said mysteriously, "We'll talk about it later!"

"Quickly, quickly, come inside and warm up!" Qu He hurriedly called out, then said to the others:

"By the way, all managers at the middle and upper levels, call a meeting in the conference room immediately. No one is allowed to be late, do you hear me!"

"Okay!" everyone replied in unison.

Just as everyone was returning to the office for a meeting, Old Liu, who had taken leave to see a doctor, drove his horse-drawn carriage back to the Agricultural Bureau.

Upon seeing Old Liu, the canteen manager smiled and said, "Old Liu is back!"

"You're back!"

"Didn't you go to Chengde to see your old leg pain? Why are you still limping like that?"

"I've looked into it, but there's nothing I can do!" Old Liu said helplessly.

"We've tried everything, but when all else failed, we ended up getting a lot of medicated plasters to apply!"

"Let me tell you, people's legs age first, what can you do about it!"

"Yes, yes, yes!" the cafeteria manager said with a smile, "You're still in pretty good health!"

"Master Liu is back!"

"I'm back!"

"Master Liu, you haven't been home lately!"

"The food in this cafeteria is not up to par!"

I've missed you so much!

The group chatted and laughed around Old Liu, then prepared to drive the carriage to the stable and put everything away.

At this moment, the cafeteria manager remembered something and quickly said to Old Liu:

"By the way, Chef Liu, Director Yu is back. Director Qu said to add a stir-fry for lunch!"

"Old Yu's back!" Old Liu exclaimed in surprise. "Great! I'll go get ready!"

Old Liu then went directly into the warehouse to prepare for the lunch reception, but as soon as he entered the warehouse, he suddenly realized that something was wrong.

There was a familiar package on top of a pile of supply boxes; it was the package he had entrusted to the driver, Xiao Pang, to deliver to Feng Cheng.

He clearly remembered that more than half a month ago, his rheumatism flared up and he had to go to Chengde for treatment. So he told Xiao Pang to give this package to Feng Cheng when delivering supplies!
But he had already returned from Chengde, and the package was still sitting there intact, which meant that Xiao Pang had never delivered the supplies to Saihanba.

Then Lao Liu rushed out of the warehouse and searched everywhere for the driver, Xiao Pang, who was riding his bicycle back from outside.

At the same time, he handed out candy to everyone he met, excitedly announcing, "We're having wedding candy! We're having wedding candy!"

"I have a son! Come on, have some wedding candy!"

"Congratulations, Xiao Pang!" Everyone accepted the wedding candy and offered their congratulations.

"Xiao Pang, what did your wife give birth to? Why are you so happy?"

"Big fat boy, seven pounds and eight ounces, just like me!" Little Pang proudly proclaimed.

Old Liu rushed forward, grabbed Xiao Pang by the collar, and angrily shouted:
"Kid, let me ask you, the bureau ordered you to deliver supplies to the dam area, did you deliver them?" "Supplies?" At this moment, Xiao Pang was still immersed in the joy of having a son, and was stunned for a moment when he suddenly heard Lao Liu's words.

Old Liu roared and demanded, "You didn't deliver it at all, did you?!"

"I, I, I, I~!" Xiao Pang stammered for a moment, then suddenly realized what he meant and quickly explained:

"When I found out my wife had gone into premature labor, I... I went home... I... I!"

"Go to hell!" Old Liu slapped Xiao Pang on the head, knocking his hat off, and then shouted angrily:
"Let me tell you, if anyone starves to death on the dam, you can expect to be shot!"

After saying that, Lao Liu shouted to the other employees, "You guys, hurry up and help me load the truck!"

"Okay, hurry up!" Everyone rushed to help upon hearing this.

Xiao Pang slapped himself and said:

"How could I forget about this? A few days before I was asked to deliver the supplies, Director Qu asked me about it. How could I be so forgetful!"

Meanwhile, inside the conference room, Yu Zhenglai said with a smile, "Actually, I've wanted to come for a long time, but I just couldn't find the time!"

Before Yu Zhenglai could finish speaking, the phone rang. Qu He then said, "I'll take this call!"

He then picked up the phone receiver and said:
"Hey!"

"it's me!"

"Where is it? The Air Force's phone!"

Hearing the operator say it was a call from the Air Force, Qu He felt a little confused, but still said:
"Okay, take it!"

Hello, hello~!

"what?"

"Did they see it clearly?"

"Are you an employee of the Forestry Bureau?"

"We're out of food! Call for help!"

Yu Zhenglai, who was standing nearby, heard a few keywords, especially the sensitive word "food shortage," and immediately had a bad feeling.

Yu Zhenglai immediately stood up and asked loudly, "What's going on?"

Qu He, who had been stunned for a moment, snapped out of it upon hearing this and then said in a trembling voice:
"The Air Force said that when they passed the camp in Bashang, they saw a sign from our forestry workers pleading for help because they were running out of food!"

Just as Yu Zhenglai and the others received the news, Lao Liu, with his meager supplies, drove past the crowd and headed alone towards the dam.

"Master Liu, Master Liu!"

"What should we do?!"

At this moment, Qu He, Yu Zhenglai, and other mid-level cadres from the Agriculture Bureau rushed out.

Qu He sternly questioned Xiao Pang:
"Xiao Pang, I sent you out to deliver supplies to Bashang, did you deliver them or not?!"

"I...I'm so confused!" Xiao Pang quickly explained, "My wife went into premature labor, so I went back to Baoding and that's what caused this delay!"

"How many days were delayed?" Yu Zhenglai asked quickly, not having time to investigate Xiao Pang's question.

"More than half a month!"

"Half a month? This could be a major disaster!" Yu Zhenglai swayed, then angrily rebuked Qu He:
Qu He, what did you promise me? What are you all good for?

University students braved the freezing cold to stay on the dam, and your job is to ensure their logistical support, yet you can't even deliver some supplies!

"Has he forgotten, little Pang? With so many people in your department, didn't a single one notice?"

"I repeatedly reminded you and asked you again and again about the issue of sending supplies to college students, and what was your answer to me?"

At this moment, Yu Zheng felt like killing Qu He. He never expected Qu He to be so unreliable and to cause such a huge mess.

If he had listened to even a little of what I said, or even just done a quick check, he would have discovered that the supplies hadn't been delivered.

"You lot, who have you done right?" Yu Zhenglai was furious, then pointed at the crowd and said:

"Let me tell you, if anything happens to any of you college students, I will deal with you severely, especially you, Qu He!"

"What are you waiting for? Organize the rescue team immediately and get to the dam!"

"Qu He, contact the Air Force immediately and see if they can help airdrop some food to Bashang!"

The group then dispersed, quickly loaded the supplies onto the vehicles, and hurriedly headed towards the dam despite the wind and snow.

On the way, Qu He said to Zheng:
"Old Yu, we've already contacted the Air Force, but the troops are on combat missions and all their planes have left the base, so they can't help us with the rescue!"

He ignored Qu He, but he knew in his heart that the Air Force also had heavy tasks and might not be able to help.

Then he shouted at Xiao Pang, "Drive faster!"

"Okay, but it's already~!" Before Xiao Pang could finish speaking, the car suddenly jolted, as if it had fallen into a ditch.

"What's the matter?"

"Director Yu, the car has wrecked again, what are we going to do!" Xiao Pang looked at Yu Zhenglai with a sob in his voice.

If these supplies are not delivered and something happens to the college students on the dam, he will be devastated.

After trying for a long time, they still couldn't get up, and a bad feeling welled up in everyone's hearts.

At this time, the wind and snow on the dam covered the undulating sand dunes into a flat expanse, burying the roads that were usually walked on, making it impossible to distinguish where the roads were.

Only a few relatively high hills remain, and those who frequently travel this route can barely find their way.

Unfortunately, the heavy snowfall blocked the view, and all that could be seen was white, making it impossible to distinguish the road.

Most importantly, the road was buried, and if there was a pothole, the car would get stuck and wouldn't be able to get out.

"Old Yu, what should we do now?" Before Zheng could answer, Qu He continued:
"I see this place isn't far from the nearby villages. I'll go and contact them to see if I can get some help from the villagers, what do you think?"

"Okay, go ahead!" Yu Zheng said, then immediately addressed the people in the car.

"Everyone get out of the car and help clear the snow from the road and push the car out!"

"Okay!" Everyone got out of the car, cleared the snow from in front of the tires, and helped push the car out.

However, after working for half an hour, the car finally got out of the pit. Then, it continued to drive forward, but after only a few hundred meters, the car got stuck in the pit again.

After walking and stopping repeatedly, getting stuck several times, and working for several hours, Yu Zhenglai said with a helpless expression:

"Old Qu, this won't do! We've been walking for three or four hours and haven't even covered a mile yet. At this rate, when will we ever reach the camp?"

"Yes, Lao Yu!" Qu He looked at the flat snowfield in front of him and said helplessly, "This definitely won't work. We need to think of something else."

“I remember Lao Hao is from Bashang, let’s go!” Yu Zheng then found Lao Hao, who was clearing snow.

"Old Hao!"

"Director Yu!"

"I remember your home is in Bashang. You're familiar with Bashang. What other roads can we take?"

"No, there's only one road to the camp!" Fearing Yu Zheng wouldn't believe him, Lao Hao explained again:
"If there hadn't been heavy snow, we could have taken a detour, but now it's all covered in white snow. If we get stuck in a sand pit, people and vehicles will be gone!"

"Sigh, this pace is too slow. At this rate, we won't reach the camp in ten days or half a month!"

"Yes!" Old Hao said with a sigh, "People down below the dam say we people up here are lazy, but that's really not true."

"When it snows and the wind blows, the visibility is less than 30 meters. It's easy to get lost if you go out. What else can you do but stay at home?"
