hello fireman

Chapter 162

Baoling County is located in the northeast of Huajiang City, close to Yunling Snow Mountain, the weather in early autumn, the temperature is close to zero.

Miguo was riding in an off-road jeep, and there were six people squeezed into the five-seater car. In addition to director Wang Xiaochun and the driver, there were also several middle-aged people who seemed to have some experience.They are all cosmetologists who helped the funeral home in Huajiang City this time. They come from different places, but they have one thing in common, that is, they are all men.

Only Miguo is the youngest, and she is a girl.

The road leading to Baoling County was completely destroyed in the earthquake. The road they are taking now is a temporary lane repaired by the armed police engineers working overtime.Due to continuous days of rain, muddy and slippery roads, and occasional aftershocks, it took four or five hours to see the county boundary of Baoling County after an ordinary two-hour drive.

"There is still a third of the journey." Wang Xiaochun turned around and said to everyone.

There is a lot of traffic, and the jeep is almost unable to move an inch when it arrives here. It basically stops for 5 minutes and moves forward for half a minute.

After a while, the traffic simply froze.The driver got out of the car and went to the front to inquire about the situation. When he came back, he said that there was a landslide in front of him, and all vehicles entering the disaster area were restricted from passing.

Wang Xiaochun looked at his watch, looked at the sky outside, and ordered decisively, "I can't wait any longer, it will be dark any longer. Get out of the car, and I will take you there on foot!"

A group of six people braved the light rain and headed for Baoling County, the hardest-hit area.

The bumpy mountain roads are full of mud. When you step into it, it's like being sucked by a magnetic disk, and you need to pull hard to pull it out.In order to prevent being hit by the broken rocks on the mountain, they shouted loudly one after another, and moved forward with difficulty in the invisible and intangible danger.

Everyone took good care of Miguo. On a roadless mountain road, several seniors just took turns carrying her on their backs, wading through the muddy water that couldn't distinguish the color.

It was still getting dark.

The temperature is very low, and when everyone is talking, you can even see the white gas coming out of each other's mouths.

Wang Xiaochun, who was in the lead, suddenly straightened up and shouted, "Look! That's Baoling County!"

They were standing on the hillside at that time, looking down, they could have a panoramic view of the entire county. Although their sight was poor, they were still shocked by the sight of doomsday.

Baoling County, the epicenter, was almost razed to the ground. A large number of houses collapsed and damaged, and the streets no longer existed. It was a mess. From a distance, only a few ruins were still emitting thick black smoke.

Baoling County was once famous for its beautiful mountains and clear waters, but now it is immersed in a dead silence, without the slightest vitality.

Someone asked, "Director Wang, this is your hometown, right?"

All the people were stunned, and looked at the back of the silent standing on the hillside.

No one speaks anymore, because the disaster has made people forget to cry and mourn.

Finally, Wang Xiaochun wiped his face with his back to everyone, and took the lead, "Let's go!"

At 6 o'clock in the evening, they walked for more than an hour, and finally saw the post-disaster Baoling County.

Even though they had seen the tragic situation in the disaster area just now on the mountainside, they still couldn't believe the reality in front of them.

Almost none of the buildings in the disaster area are complete, and the streets are basically gone. Rescuers can only grope their way through the collapsed ruins, hillsides, ditches, and riverbeds. They were all right, they walked forward with their arms, some were bleeding, and some passed out on stretchers...

What is even more frightening is that there may be living lives buried under every pile of ruins here.

Because Wang Xiaochun told them before entering the city that in Baoling County, which has a population of more than 1, only 2200 people have successfully escaped.

Wang Xiaochun arranged them to wait beside a collapsed ruin. He went to the headquarters on foot to find the army officer who arranged the next rescue work.

Mi Guo felt unwell after getting off the car, and her body temperature rose rapidly. She persisted all the way, and her physical strength was completely exhausted when she got here.

Afraid that the people in her company would notice something strange, she pulled up the zipper of her coat to cover her dry and chapped lips, leaving only the part above her nose.

But no matter how hard she tried to cover it up, she couldn't restrain the itching and pain in her throat, and her low cough from time to time still attracted the attention of her colleagues.

"Xiaomi, do you have a cold?" Someone asked with concern.

Her eyes, which were especially dark and bright in the night, blinked guiltyly, "A little bit. But, it doesn't matter."

Someone took out the commonly used medicine on his body, took out a few pills and handed it over, "Take some medicine first, if you get sick here, you will suffer a serious crime!"

"Thank you, senior." Mi Guo took the medicine and swallowed the pill with the cold mineral water in the bag.

She blushed and explained, "I'm usually in good health, just take some medicine."

"You are a little girl, it's all right to stay in Huajiang, why did you follow us to the epicenter?" The colleague was puzzled.

Isn't this little girl afraid of death? She insists on going to the most dangerous place where other people can't avoid her job.

Mi Guo pulled down his neckline and tried to force a smile, "Someone must come, I may be the most suitable."

The colleague shook his head, still not understanding.

At this time, someone interrupted and said: "Where can we find a girl who is as brave as Xiaomi now? I admire Xiaomi a lot. She was unwell along the way, but she didn't drag us down for a minute, and even walked often. In front of us. And her plastic surgery technique, I saw it under the canopy last night, it was very amazing, I thought at that time, if there are more girls like this, and young people like this, will our industry be able to I see spring!"

"Yeah, Xiaomi is great, he followed us for such a long distance, and didn't even cry out!"

"Xiaomi! Not bad!"

Mi Guo covered her hot face, and could hardly raise her head, "Seniors, masters, stop laughing at me, I'm just a newcomer, and I still have a lot to learn."

Seeing her modesty, colleagues have a better impression of her.

Several people were chatting, and Wang Xiaochun returned to the ruins with an army major.

"This is Comrade Wang Yi, who will be responsible for your future rescue work in Baoling County. I hope you will cooperate and support us!" Wang Xiaochun said.

The colleagues in the support team all stood up and applauded to welcome.

Wang Yi also returned a military salute to Miguo and the others, "Thank you comrades for your selfless assistance. I will be responsible for the safety of my comrades. Please follow me!"

Wang Xiaochun's mission was completed and he had to return to Huajiang City overnight.

He said a brief farewell to the members of the support team in front of the ruins.

Although I am not very familiar with these colleagues from all corners of the country, the sense of historical mission that united them before the catastrophe tightly connected their hearts.

When Wang Xiaochun was about to leave, he deliberately stopped in front of Mi Guo.

"Xiaomi, your situation is quite special. I have talked to Comrade Wang Yi, and he will take care of you. If you feel that you can't keep going, you can tell Wang Yi at any time, and he can send you back to the city at any time!"

Miguo looked at Wang Xiaochun, his black eyes were like grapes soaked in water, wet but with unprecedented firmness, "Director Wang, don't worry, I, Miguo, will never be a deserter in my life, let alone give it to us. The undertaker is disgraced."

Wang Xiaochun's gradually brightening eyes stayed on Mi Guo for a long time before he nodded and left.

Seeing off Wang Xiaochun, Mi Guo turned her head and coughed a few times quickly. She blinked her red eyes and ran over to keep up with the team that had already set off.

It was a new arrival and it was dark at night, so Wang Yi did not immediately arrange for them to go to the rescue site, but arranged a military tent with better conditions for them to eat and rest.

There are two tents, and because Miguo is a woman, she was forcibly given a strong and cold-resistant tent.

Dinner was instant noodles and bread. Maybe Wang Yi took care of it specially, and each team member got a ham sausage.

Despite her poor appetite caused by the fever, Ke Miguo swallowed the food she was given. She knew that if she wanted to save people in the disaster area, she must first have a lot of physical strength.

She took the medicine again before going to bed. Although she still felt uncomfortable throughout the night, it was much better than the miserable night in Huajiang City.

The next morning.

Wang Yi divided the undertakers and plastic surgeons who came to Baoling County to support them into five groups, which followed different rescue teams to excavate and organize the remains of the victims.

Because there were excavators roaring nearby, Miguo couldn't hear which area she was assigned to rescue.

Several seniors were taken away by the little soldier, only she was still waiting in place.

After a while, a touch of orange came into her sight.

Miguo was shocked, because she was very familiar with this color, it was the rescue uniform of the fire brigade that she had been thinking about.

It was a very young firefighter who came to fetch her. His rescue suit was soaked in mud. Except for the eye-catching orange, it was impossible to tell which detachment it belonged to.The sound of the excavator roared, and Miguo saw the other party making a follow-up gesture, so he quickly picked up the backpack containing the plastic tools and followed him.

The streets of the county town seemed to be pulled and broken at both ends, completely distorted and deformed into twists, and the height and height were more than four or five meters out of place with the original horizontal position.

Miguo walked among the boulders with the little firefighters, climbing up and jumping down for a while, and in some places, he could only crawl through the gaps.

"Here we are!" cried the little soldier.

Miguo wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, and looked towards the area with the familiar orange flashing on the front right.

This place looks like a farmers' market, because Miguo saw vegetables all over the place, but the market was completely crushed under the ruins of the buildings moved by the earthquake, and the shadow of the past could no longer be found.

Take a short walk.

"Be careful!" The little soldier reminded her to pay attention to the very high steps under her feet.

Still something went wrong.

When she jumped down, the backpack strap was accidentally caught by a raised stone, and she lost control of her center of gravity in an instant, and rushed forward...

Mi Guo was completely hopeless, and the alarm sounded endlessly in her mind...

At this moment, a touch of familiar orange suddenly rushed over, like a divine soldier descending from the sky, firmly holding her body that had fallen out of the stone steps...

No surprises.

She and her savior came face to face.

They stared at each other for more than ten seconds.

Mi Guo suddenly twitched the corner of his mouth and burst into tears...

"Yue Tingchuan—"
