Chapter 209: Natural disasters are ruthless but lovers are sentimental (1)
There were hundreds of people in Lin Manqing's team. At first, there were only Pei Ze and Gu Qinghuai and their own bodyguards. But later, when their family heard that they were going to rescue, many more people were sent.
It was difficult to manage more people. After some discussion, Pei Ze and the others decided to divide themselves into groups of ten, and a team leader was selected. Lin Manqing did not intervene and just stood by with Pei Zheng to watch what they were doing.
No one here has any objections. They are not out for fun, but for rescue. This is a matter of human life and cannot be delayed, so it must be done as quickly as possible.
After they assigned the tasks to the personnel in the warehouse where Zhizhi kept his things, they got on the bus one after another and rushed to Jiang Weicheng without stopping.
Except for the area near Sichuan and Sichuan, there was almost no impact on other places. The road Lin Manqing and the others drove was on a high speed. She used to get car sick, but now she didn't know if it was because of nervousness and worry, she almost didn't feel it at all.
When she set off, she took a look at the vehicles they had prepared. They were almost all large trucks. Even though there were dozens of them, they still had not finished loading the supplies they had prepared.
Pei Zheng saw her staring at the warehouse with her eyebrows furrowed, and he roughly knew what she was thinking.
"Don't worry, my eldest brother just sent the address to Dad, and the remaining things will be transported by helicopter to solve the urgent need later."
"Can the helicopter still be used? Won't it get in the way?"
"Have you forgotten what my uncle does? The supplies you prepared helped my uncle. Besides, the supplies we prepared are not enough. Dad and the others also prepared some themselves. Although it is not much, it is still a little thought."
"Even the grandparents have prepared some with their own money. Don't worry too much, everything will pass."
Lin Manqing really didn't think about these things. When she saw the video, she devoted herself to Jiang Weicheng and didn't pay attention to anyone else.
Thinking about it, after such a big thing happened, we are all compatriots, so those who have the ability will naturally help.
Along the way, two or three of them took turns driving, while the others closed their eyes and fell asleep.
Even if they couldn't sleep, they still had to keep their spirits up. There would be a tough battle ahead, but nothing unexpected could happen.
It has been almost three months since the term started at Imperial University. Now that something like this happens, they have begun to organize willing students to help. Lin Manqing and the other instructors had also asked her and Pei Zheng for their opinions before. When they learned that they would go by themselves, He just told them to take care of themselves and there was nothing else to say.
Even though there are many difficulties in this journey, they always believe that they will win.
After driving for a day and a night, we finally arrived in the province of Sichuan and Sichuan. The road ahead was not easy, so Lin Manqing and the others had to follow the car in front of them step by step.
Yes, there were cars in front of them, large trucks, private cars, motorcycles, tricycles, all kinds of things, but the people on them all had urgent expressions on their faces.
They all come to Sichuan and Sichuan as Jiang Weicheng. They may not be so great, but they all want to do their little bit.
Lin Manqing looked at the truck beside her. The driver was a burly man. He couldn't see what was in his car, but Lin Manqing heard his voice on the phone.
"Honey, I'm in Sichuan now. Don't worry. The country is in trouble, and I will do my best no matter what. You can take good care of your parents and children at home, and I will also protect myself."
Lin Manqing had no intention of eavesdropping, but the man's voice was so loud that she heard it effortlessly. Lin Manqing didn't hear what his wife said clearly, but she guessed she was proud of him.
Pei Zheng, who was sitting next to Lin Manqing, saw Lin Manqing looking outside and stretched out his hand to hold her hand tightly. Lin Manqing looked over and told her without getting bored.
"Good boy, when we get there, don't stay too far away from me, and you have to protect yourself."
"Okay, you too."
Lin Manqing listened to Pei Zheng's instructions and somehow thought of Jiang Weicheng's situation.
Although she hasn't arrived yet, he has seen news online these days. Houses collapsed one after another, leaving countless people homeless.
It looks very distressing.
After Lin Manqing and the others were stuck in traffic on the highway for an hour, they finally took action. She pieced together the outline from the words passed down from the front.
When the person in charge nearby knew that they were stuck on the highway, they urgently sent people to evacuate them and took them to Jiangweicheng.
After driving for several more hours, Lin Manqing and his party, as well as compatriots from all over the country, finally arrived in Jiangweicheng.
As soon as they got off the car, Pei Ze directed a group of them to separate for rescue. Lin Manqing listened to Pei Zheng's words and stayed close to him.
Only at this moment did they realize how ruthless the earthquake was.
At a glance, there are dilapidated buildings. Under the ruins, there is gray smoke and raging clouds. Under the gray sky, there are panicked people and rescue workers trying their best.
Pei Zheng and Lin Manqing did not have the physical strength or ability to rescue the people buried under the rubble, so they could only help unload supplies and do logistics from behind.
Lin Manqing had no ability and could only do what he could with Pei Zheng.
For example, distributing supplies to rescued personnel and working with them to install temporary homes.
Pei Zheng and Lin Manqing were doing the same job, and they were not far apart, so they could ensure that they noticed each other immediately.
Everyone in Jiang Weicheng was busy all afternoon. When night came, they were still working on the rescue. The work at night was more difficult than during the day.
The rescuers on the front line took turns to deal with a simple meal, and then went back to the rescue without stopping.
They are tireless and they dare not rest. In this critical moment, every minute and second is crucial.
Lin Manqing and Pei Zheng discussed it while they were having dinner together. She wanted to go to the front line.
Pei Zheng did not answer immediately, and only ate his meal in silence. After the meal, he took a fierce sip of water, wiped his mouth boldly, and then agreed to Lin Manqing.
"Okay, but I have to follow you."
"it is good."
The earthquake rescue had just started a few days ago. They didn't know if there would be aftershocks in the future, but they wanted to be closer to each other so that they would feel more at ease.
After the two decided, they immediately rushed to the front line. Compared with the work in the rear, the work on the front line was more difficult and dangerous, but there will always be people who risk their lives.
When they arrived at the front line, they saw groups of soldiers searching, all wearing simple lights on their heads.
