New World 1620

The "leadership meeting" that lasted almost all night finally came to fruition at dawn.

A temporary self-rescue leading group was established, led by Zheng Quan, the captain of the customs anti-smuggling team, including Feng Bin, the captain of the anti-riot team of the Y City Armed Police who led the team to participate in the anti-smuggling operation, Chen Liwen, the deputy head of the Y City Economic Investigation Brigade, and the handling team. Qi Jianjun, deputy director of the Supervision Brigade Center of the Municipal Labor Bureau, where dock workers ask for wages, has a total of 10 people who have become members of the self-help leading group.

Regarding the question of "what happened?", the leaders of the self-rescue team still did not give people a positive answer, only saying that they are actively contacting the superiors of various departments to carry out disaster relief.

At 8 a.m., Qi Jianjun finally found Su Zining who was sleeping soundly in a corner of the ruins.The young man hugging the imported cotton pillow with a dazed face accepted the first task of the boss who was almost overdue - to count all the accident personnel present, including the casualties.

reason?Because Su Zining is the only job subordinate Qi Jianjun can find, Su Zining has been his assistant for a long time.

With the assistance of a customs anti-smuggling team member and a small dock security guard, it took Su Zining nearly three hours to complete the first job on the first day after the disaster.

There were a total of 498 survivors at the accident site, including 14 seriously injured, 52 slightly injured, and 32 people who died after being dug out of the ruins.Among the survivors, there are a total of 425 males and 73 females, 12 of whom are under the age of 19...

"Not bad, the statistics are so careful? You learn management?" Zhou Kemin, the customs anti-smuggling team member who was in charge of assisting in the statistics, was a little surprised when he saw the form Su Zining handed over.

The form not only records the basic number of people, but also makes multiple classifications according to gender and several age groups, and even family relationships are also marked.

"When you do something for the leader, you have to think about what the leader might want next." Su Zining shrugged his shoulders, as if he was used to it, "Otherwise you will find that you have to spend more time doing things that you shouldn't do anymore." Repeat work."

"Haha, Brother Su is really old-fashioned!" Zhou Kemin suddenly realized, and patted his head in embarrassment, "I just remembered to count heads."

I know what?Maybe... Anyone who has spent a few years in a government agency and still doesn't understand these things will never be able to get ahead when he is really old.

At noon, Qi Jianjun of the self-rescue leading group started shouting at the river beach with a big loudspeaker.The general meaning is to form a voluntary search and rescue team to travel south along the river to find survivors who may be lost in the downstream area.

Within 10 minutes, this temporary search and rescue team was established, with a total of six people.Su Zining, Yan Xiaosong, and Zhou Kemin were voluntary, and the other two were all specially assigned by the leader of the self-rescue team, including an armed policeman and a bulk carrier doctor.

The last volunteer was a bald man whom Su Zining knew. He was the organizer of the wharf migrant worker's wage appeal on the day of the accident. He was a big man from the north and retired non-commissioned officer Dong Jiunan who desperately demanded the mayor to come forward to find an explanation.However, Su Zining couldn't believe that the burly man with a height of more than 1.8 meters in front of him was only 25 years old.

After Qi Jianjun made it public, Su Zining was mentioned as the leader of the search and rescue team. Apart from frowning inwardly, Su Zining had no opinion on the result.

In addition to carrying basic search and rescue equipment and some food and medicine, the only riot police in the team also carried a Type 81 automatic rifle, which made the big man Dong Jiunan look bad all the time.It's no wonder that the appearance of armed riot police at a migrant workers' salary gathering is a very bad memory after all.

Due to the dense forest area along the river, it is almost unimaginable to travel by land, so the team also called the only motorboat on board the customs anti-smuggling boat.The driver is Zhou Kemin, a customs anti-smuggling team member.

"Direction?" Yan Xiao tightened his backpack, stepped into the motorboat, and grinned at Su Zining, the team's supreme commander.

Direction... Looking at the big river flowing southward again, Su Zining breathed out and read two words at the same time.

"southward."

……

……

The motorboat moved along the east side of the big river at a slow speed. Apart from the forests on both sides of the big river, there were still forests. Occasionally, you could see a large area of ​​green river beaches, wetlands and swamps on both sides of the river.

Further to the south is an extremely wide waterway.Except for the sound of running water and motors, there is silence, and the entire river basin is like an undeveloped primitive land.

Su Zining looked at his watch. From the time he set off to now, about two hours had passed.Judging by the speed of the motorboat, it is probably less than 10 kilometers south.Except for some deer-like wild animals occasionally found in the river beach forest on the east side of the river, no signs of human habitation were found.

Yan Xiaosong has been holding his small drawing board to draw something earnestly from the time he set off until now, and sometimes he would look into the distance for a few seconds.

As for the rest of the people, except for Zhou Kemin who was driving the motorboat and humming softly, the others were as silent as Su Zining.The muscular man was holding the edge of the motorboat tightly with one hand, holding a pair of binoculars in his hand.

Not long after, Dong Jiunan suddenly raised an arm, and Zhou Kemin quickly turned off the motor. Following the direction of the man's arm, everyone saw an area with traces of human activities on the east bank of the river. It was the edge of a forest. A small piece of river beach grass.

The motorboat docked, and the armed police with automatic rifles jumped out first, followed by the Liaodong Dahan carrying a fire ax that he carried with him.

The withered and yellow weeds on the river beach almost reached the waist of a person, but a simple shack made of several logs was still looming among the weeds.

The river beach grass is not big, and it will soon come to the area full of gravel.I saw that the wooden shack had decayed and collapsed, and there were still many half-burnt irregular stones scattered around it. A small cross made of wood was erected on the edge of the abandoned camp.

Some letters and numbers are vaguely engraved on the cross. Although the numbers are vague, "1577-1610" can still be vaguely recognized.This scene caused the six people present to look at each other in blank dismay.Because none of them, including Su Zining, knew these Western words that were obviously not in English.

"What do you think?" The Liaodong Dahan was the first to break the silence.

"No one has been here for at least five years, and this is a cemetery." Yan Xiaosong walked around the cross twice, holding his hands to his chest, "A Western cemetery. He has been dead for hundreds of years. "

"Brother Su, Brother Yan, shall we continue to take the boat and go further?" Zhou Kemin looked around nervously, as if the little motorboat was the safest thing right now.

"No, since traces of human habitation can be found here, it means that there may be more discoveries around." Su Zining shook his head, then turned his head to the armed police and the accompanying ship doctor, a riot policeman with soft hair on the corner of his mouth And a short 30-year-old ship doctor, "Cheng Peng, you and Dong Jiunan are in a group, turn eastward, and remember not to go too far into the forest. Yan Xiaosong and I continue to walk south along the river bank. Xiao Zhou and Lao Zhao, You stay on the motorboat, and we will meet up in two hours."
