Chapter 1718 Counting the Time
Twelve hours.
Twenty-four hours.
Thirty-six hours.
Forty-eight hours.
Sixty hours.
Time is slipping away bit by bit. Since the afternoon of the earthquake, everyone has been counting the time.
Because the world-recognized best rescue time for earthquakes is 72 hours. After 72 hours, the people dug out are either dead bodies or miracles.
So the rescue command center is working 24 hours a day to mobilize soldiers, police, doctors, and firefighters. All the resources that can be mobilized are tilted to the disaster area, racing against time to open rescue channels.
People from all over the country donated money and materials, and countless enthusiastic people volunteered to become volunteers to participate in earthquake relief. The Chinese land, which was originally immersed in the Olympics, now has only two words-disaster relief.
What Olympics, what stars, what world situation, all stand aside. Now there is only one thing in China, that is disaster relief, and all other things give way to this matter.
Under such national attention, one after another touching stories are constantly on CCTV news, and the opportunities for life in the earthquake are also being commercialized.
Every time a person was successfully rescued, the whole country cheered, and every time a teacher or parent who protected a child under their body was seen, people could not stop crying.
Yang Dongxu walked around the hotel room in a fuss, his eyes were bloodshot, and his face was very wrong. Although he had been forcing himself to stuff food into his stomach these two days.
But he couldn't close his eyes, which made him suffer great mental torture. But he couldn't sleep at all, and when he closed his eyes, all he could see was Zhou Ya's shadow.
If Yang's mother hadn't come to Chengdu at this time, and even brought three children, Wenchen, Wenwu and Tangtang. Yang Dongxu would have rushed to the earthquake-stricken area to find Zhou Ya.
Two days, two whole days, not only Zhou Ya was heartbroken, but even Du Heng and others who went in lost contact. From the information fed back from the front, there was nothing related to Zhou Ya, and Yang Dongxu felt that he was going crazy.
"Sleep for a while, sleep for a while, just sleep for a while, believe it or not." Li Fuzhen looked at Yang Dongxu with tears in her eyes, and Zhou Ya and Chen Xin stood beside her with tears in their eyes.
If Chengdu hadn't controlled the flight routes now, even Chen Hong would have to fly back from the United States.
Yang Dongxu is still alive and well, but the people around him all have a sense of oppression that the building is about to collapse.
"Dad, Dad," Tangtang waved her little hand and touched her father's tired face.
He was not very sensible yet, and felt that his father was very unhappy now. She wanted to cry, but her mother told him not to cry.
"Let mom take the children away from Chengdu first. It's not good for the whole family to stay here in such a mess." Yang Dongxu grinned and forced a smile, and said in a very dry and hoarse voice.
"Just stay here, even if the family dies, they will die together." Bai Xi snorted coldly and turned her face away, tears sliding down her cheeks unconvincingly.
How long has she not cried?
It seems that she has not shed a tear since her grandfather passed away. When her grandfather passed away, the Bai family was so chaotic, her unconvincing brother and her father who always wanted to use her for marriage forced her so much, and she was so painful when she gave birth to Wenwu, but she never cried.
These two days, her tears are almost dry for the man in front of her.
"I'm sorry." Yang Dongxu's face showed a look of self-blame.
He knew that as a father and a son, he should be calmer because he was the backbone of the family.
But as a husband, when his wife had been in the disaster area for almost 72 hours and there was no news, he couldn't stay calm. He regretted it so much that he wanted to die.
He had been thinking about how to plan and eliminate his influence on these major events, so that he could hide behind the scenes and not be treated as a monster and sliced for research. Hiding and hiding, he ended up losing the most important person to him.
Now, as long as he closed his eyes, he could hear countless laughs. Laughing at him for wrapping himself up like a turtle, but in the end he lost his most precious thing. If Zhou Ya had any accident
Bang bang bang. Wu Sheng, who was wearing a rough coat and had bloodshot eyes, ran in hurriedly.
"Found it, found it, in Gu Village, in Gu Village. Gu Village is a village in the valley. The earthquake blocked the only road leading to the outside of the village, and because the nearby signal tower collapsed, there has been no signal anywhere.
Du Heng led his men to follow the route planned by President Zhou before, but they were trapped in Gu Village, so they went in the wrong direction. After checking several villages without any clues, they thought of Gu Village, because there was no road to go directly over the mountain, which delayed a lot of time.
Now Du Heng has reunited with President Zhou and his men in Gu Village. They are all safe, except that President Zhou sprained his ankle, which is not serious, but because the only road out of the village is buried by rocks, he can't get out for the time being.
Du Heng's satellite phone was broken on the first day of the journey. Now Yu Feihong is sending a helicopter to drop relief supplies and satellite phones to Gu Village, and they will be able to contact in a while."
"Really." Yang Dongxu suddenly stood up from the sofa. He just stood up halfway before he realized that he was holding his daughter in his arms, and hurriedly reached out to save her.
But at this time, he didn't have time to see his daughter's condition, and stared at Wu Sheng with bloodshot eyes.
"Really? When you called me, the helicopter sent by Yu Feihong had already taken off. You can talk to President Zhou in an hour at most."
"Where's my phone? Where's my phone?" Yang Dongxu handed his daughter to Li Fuzhen next to him and kept looking around.
"Have you contacted them all?" The leader who came to the front line in person at the disaster relief command center asked hopefully as he watched the bright spots on the screen in front of him light up one after another.
"We have been in contact with all the villages nearby, starting from the Hope Primary School. The signalman has set up a temporary communication tower on the roof of the school.
But because the power facilities were destroyed and there are only temporary batteries, there is no way to maintain communication 24 hours a day. But now the situation in all places in the disaster area has been roughly summarized.
The command center is allocating resources here, trying to tilt to the worst-hit areas, and strive to do the best possible rescue within the 72-hour golden rescue time. But because there are continuous aftershocks in the earthquake zone, many places have different roads, so."
"At all costs, we must ensure the safety of people's lives and property. The roads are not different, continue to coordinate with the military region to send all the helicopters that can be dispatched, and then airdrop them.
Food and water, especially medicines, should be concentrated on airdropping to the worst-hit areas, and be careful to airdrop machinery as well. Don't be afraid of loss. If one airdropped vehicle breaks down, airdrop another one. How long will it take to rescue the people buried underneath by hand digging alone?"
"Yes, I guarantee to complete the task."
Yanjing, in a club box where a certain young master likes to gather.
"Is Yang Dongxu still in Chengdu?"
"He's still here. He kept asking to go to the earthquake zone, but his family stopped him. He was said to be so anxious that he almost went crazy in the hotel."
"His wife is in there, how can he not be anxious? But then again, he has no shortage of women around him, and it's rare for him to be so affectionate to his wife."
"Rare, it's just selling his personality. If he really loves his wife that much, how could he have so many lovers? And let his lovers give birth to his children?"
"That's right, it's just selling his personality. If he really is that affectionate, he can just go to the disaster area to find someone himself. Isn't he very domineering, and he will chop off anyone who reaches out? If he really wants to Go in, who else dares to stop him? "
"Haha, that's right. He's the only one who knows how to pretend!"
"No way, who let the people above buy into his tricks."
"Don't worry about whether he can pretend or not, Hurricane Construction donated 100 million in cash and 100 million in relief supplies to the disaster area. How about you donate so much to pretend?
Oh, by the way, this is donated by a company under his control. In addition to Hurricane Construction, Yangjiayan, Rising Sun Technology, and Millennium Supermarket, all the companies we know or don't know have donated. And the sales are all based on 100 million. "
A discordant voice appeared in the laughter, and the private room that was originally full of laughter and mockery suddenly became quiet.
The girl who spoke stood up, and in the eyes of a group of people who were either stunned, angry, or cold, she sneered and left the box with a disdainful sneer.
"Who has such a bad temper? I haven't seen this lady in this small piece of land in Yanjing." Someone's tone was full of mockery.
"It seems that Zhao Fei brought her in."
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." A young man bowed his hands and apologized, "She just came back from abroad and doesn't know the rules of the circle. Please forgive her, please forgive her."
"Who is it? You are so aggressive. Let's talk about Xiao Zhao." An elder brother raised his chin.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'll chase that lady first. Otherwise, I'll break my legs when I get home. Tomorrow I'll set up a table to apologize to all the brothers and sisters and then explain." Zhao Fei kept bowing and apologizing, and then hurriedly chased out.
This made the already tense atmosphere in the box suddenly quiet again.
"Who seems to be the youngest daughter of the Ye family? She has been studying abroad before, and seems to have returned recently. I almost didn't recognize her for a while."
"That Ye family?"
"Who else could it be except the Ye family in the south?"
"Why did she come to Yanjing and hang out with Zhao Fei?"
"It seems that she just came back from abroad, and the Ye family plans to let her take care of the business in Yanjing, which will be her dowry in the future. The Zhao family wants to form an alliance with the Ye family."
"Why did she speak for Yang Dongxu?"
"I don't know about that."
After spending an hour in agony, watching the hands on the watch jump second by second, Yang Dongxu felt like he was living a year.
"What's going on? Why hasn't the phone called yet? Is the satellite phone broken again? Or did something happen over there?"
"You scared yourself. Now basically all the disasters have been investigated clearly, and temporary signal towers have been set up in many places. If there are strong aftershocks, the command center will definitely have an early warning.
You have also seen the map of Gucun. It is a valley with a relatively sunken terrain. The temporary signal tower cannot cover that area, otherwise Zhou Ya would definitely call you as soon as possible."
"Where is my cell phone?"
"I'm holding it in my own hand. Who are you asking?"
Buzz buzz buzz. As soon as he mentioned the cell phone, the cell phone in Yang Dongxu's hand vibrated.
He quickly pressed the answer button, "Hello!"
"It's me, I'm fine!"
The familiar business short five words, Yang Dongxu felt as if he had crossed a century. The next thing he saw was black.
