Chapter 397 Be that Beam of Light (Part 2)
The drone provided route guidance for the soldiers in the dark. There was a light source above each soldier's head, and the entire swimming process became clear.
On the shore, although no one knew how it was done, there were still cheers.
After the ten soldiers landed, they worked together to pull up the ropes they carried and fixed them under the bridge piers on the opposite bank of Bai Niaogou, forming a valuable path on both sides of Bai Niaogou, which could be used to transport a small number of people or supplies by zipline.
This is a big step in the rescue work! Chief L came over after hearing the sound, and looked at the drone that was still providing lighting on the opposite bank, and immediately said in surprise: "Whose thing is this?"
Zhou Rui stood on the shore, while controlling it, he said: "We are the drone team of the 209th Regiment, and we greeted you before we came."
"Yes, yes, yes! Chief Yang said so."
It was indeed too late just now, but it did not mean that he despised it. At the moment when the rescue was blocked, any new thing could become the key to breaking the deadlock.
Zhou Rui introduced the situation of the drone to Chief L, and also wanted to understand what he could help with.
Although drones and "mechanical intelligence" are advanced, they are not omnipotent. Rescue is a comprehensive coordination work.
At this moment, among a group of people who had been on standby for a long time in the corner, someone suddenly slapped his thigh and said loudly: "I remembered it!"
Wang Tianfu shouted: "There is a small road on the Dutou Mountain in the west. The old director took us to explore before. Cars cannot go there, but people can go there. Go over the mountain and you can go to the south of Che County!"
As soon as this was said, it immediately attracted everyone's attention, and they all looked over.
The old policeman who had also been on standby for a long time said: "Why didn't you say it earlier!"
"I've been thinking about it! I've been thinking about it!"
If people can go in, they can bring hope and supplies.
It will take a lot of time to build a bridge over this Bainiaogou. Having a second road is a major benefit!
The temporary command center immediately held a brief combat meeting and finally decided to split the troops into two groups.
200 soldiers were sent to investigate the situation of the trail with Wang Tianfu. Meanwhile, work could not be stopped in Bai Niaogou. Some people were transported there to participate in the operation, and they could continue to investigate the situation.
Zhou Rui, on the other hand, went back to bring two trucks up after knowing that this place was only 10 kilometers away from Che County.
At a distance of 10 kilometers, if a large drone carries supplies, it has exceeded the endurance range, but a small drone can.
What he can do at this time, or what a drone can do, is to bring hope to the people of Che County.
Let the people inside know that countless people outside are working hard to save them.
The rescue command center collected more than 30 loudspeakers, that is, the small handheld loudspeakers. Zhou Rui and Wang Tao made temporary modifications, recorded the sound, and tied it to the bottom of the small drone.
Zhou Rui stood at the bridge head. Since there was no pre-programmed program, he could only guide through continuous operation to let the "mechanical intelligence" understand what he was going to do.
It was extremely urgent, and there was no delay.
Dozens of drones took off from the combat platform behind the truck, passing the rescue command center, Bai Niaogou, and the people on the other side who were busy transferring personnel and materials, and rushed towards Che County.
They became the first rescue force to arrive in Che County.
——————————
In a school, several high school students were hiding on the roof.
The high school in this county was only two stories high. The first floor was completely submerged, and the second floor was not very safe. The survivors gathered on the roof, enduring the cold rain at night and the fear of darkness.
"I can't contact my family. My home is on the river bank. I want to go back and see!"
"No! Absolutely not! You can't go!"
A middle-aged male teacher with sparse hair leaned against the wall tiredly, his legs twisted unnaturally, and his whole face was pale.
"I don't care! I can swim!"
The panic and tension of the students could no longer be suppressed. Young people are easily excited.
Just when several boys couldn't bear it anymore and began to tidy up their clothes and wanted to jump into the water.
A series of light spots came from the horizon.
The buzzing sound made the silent Che County a little noisy.
One of them seemed to have caught the trapped people, split out, and hovered above the crowd.
"Dear people of Che County, the rescue has begun. Please rest assured that the country will not abandon you. A large number of personnel and materials have arrived and are about to enter the disaster area. Please try to move to a high place to ensure your own safety and do not act without authorization."
"If there are injured people, emergency treatment can be carried out according to the following standards: 1. Fracture: Please find a wooden board or other fixed objects and wrap them with fabric to fix them."
"2. If you are drowning, please clean up the mud and other debris in your mouth, lay your head flat, press your heart and lungs fifteen times, and give artificial respiration once in the position."
The speech was fast, but the articulation was clear. A young male voice was firmly transmitted to everyone's ears.
The teacher smiled happily and said, "You heard it! The rescue has arrived! Someone will come to save us."
————————
On the other side, in the mud on the ground, a young woman was holding a child and moving forward with one foot deep and one foot shallow.
Most of her body was soaked in muddy water, and her body temperature was rapidly declining.
The only thing that was clean was the baby in her arms.
Her tears had dried up, she was numb with fear, and even her consciousness was a little blurry. In the darkness, she didn't know the direction, so she just moved mechanically, trying to find a safe place.
Suddenly several light spots flew from the sky.
"Dear people of Che County, rescue has begun. Please rest assured that the country will not give up on you."
"Please try to go to higher places to ensure your own safety."
This voice made the woman's consciousness clear, and she looked up blankly.
"Higher, higher?"
Looking around, I saw an off-road vehicle, with most of its roof still exposed.
The woman leaned over there with difficulty and found that the water here was relatively shallow. She used her last strength to climb to the roof of the car.
Putting the baby aside, the woman also lay down on the roof of the car and said weakly: "Mom, I can't walk anymore. Baby, do you hear that? Someone will come to save us. Someone will come."
————————————
More and more people heard the voice from heaven.
They have yet to receive a bottle of water, a packet of food or even a Band-Aid.
But because of the words from the loudspeaker, a firm will to survive was awakened.
Because they know, outside! There is a group of people trying their best to save them.
Every time the drone detects a person, it will hover and broadcast, providing a brief burst of light.
Stars and stars alternate continuously over Che County, building a network of "hope".
At the same time, the drones returned one after another after feeding power. Next to Bainiaogou, hundreds of soldiers worked together to ensure power supply for Zhou Rui and the others. The roar of the diesel generators was heard in the open space of the broken bridge. , like a busy factory.
Everyone is doing what they can, because time is life, and at this moment, it is truth.
Zhou Rui also obtained some pictures of the interior of Che County from the returning drone. Gradually, the "rescue points" became clear one by one.
It also further explains
The situation is still not optimistic.
