Chapter 1118 : Super Earthquake

"A 10.1-magnitude earthquake broke out in the northwest region of our Dragon Kingdom."

When No. 1 heard the news, he was shocked.

10.1 magnitude earthquake!

The largest earthquake experienced by Longguo in the past century was magnitude 8.0, but this time the assistant actually reported that a magnitude 10.1 occurred in Longguo.

He couldn't believe what kind of disaster an earthquake of this magnitude would cause to the northwest region of Dragon Kingdom.

Other people in the conference room were also shocked by the news.

No. 1 quickly ordered the relevant departments to organize rescue work.

The Dragon Kingdom responded very quickly to these sudden disasters.

The rescue team rushed to the disaster area as quickly as possible.

The live video of the disaster area was quickly sent back to the Longguo high-level conference room.

On the 1st, they can see the situation in the disaster area through video.

The disaster area is a county in northwest China, with a population of about 180,000.

The footage was taken from a helicopter. When No. 1 saw the ruins of the entire county, his brows were furrowed tightly.

A magnitude 10.1 earthquake was truly destructive.

If an earthquake occurs in the densely populated southeastern region of Dragon Kingdom, it may cause many deaths.

On-site rescue workers are already carrying out rescue operations.

Number 1 has been keeping in touch with the situation at the scene, so he can keep abreast of the situation at all times.

Soon, the entire population of the disaster area was counted.

There were 129 deaths and 2,194 missing people.

Fortunately, the earthquake occurred during the day and many people were at work.

When they sensed something was wrong, they hurriedly ran out of the room.

Number 1 ordered to the rescue personnel at the scene.

"We must put the safety of people's lives first at all costs."

"yes!"

The rescue commander at the scene responded.

He knew very well that when a disaster occurs, the golden rescue time is only 2 hours. If this time is exceeded, many people will be missing and the chance of survival will be very small.

He personally led the rescue team into the ruins to search for trapped people.

Soon they found a cry for help in a collapsed house.

Rescuers used life detectors to quickly determine the location of the person.

They immediately planned a rescue plan.

In just five minutes, an old man was rescued.

The moment the earthquake hit, the old man knew that he had difficulty moving, so he hid under the bed, thus avoiding the falling prefabricated panels from the roof.

The moment he was rescued, he thanked the rescuers profusely.

If it were not for the rescue of these Dragon Kingdom soldiers, he would definitely die down there.

An old man was rescued, but the rescue team did not stop because they knew very well that there were many trapped people waiting for their rescue.

Two minutes later, the rescue team found the trapped person again.

Rescuers looked through the scanner and discovered that the trapped people were a woman and a child.

They called to the woman, but received no response from her, and only the sound of children crying came from the ruins.

They surveyed the scene and found that the trapped people were in a small space.

But above them are the pillars of the rafters.

There is a lot of abandoned rubble on top of the pillar.

In such a situation, if one is not careful, the trapped people may be buried inside.

At this time, the child's cries became weaker and weaker, and they knew very well that if they dragged on, the child would probably die.

Before the live TV broadcast, many Longguo viewers felt their hearts twitching when they saw this scene.

The person in charge of the disaster area at the scene hurriedly issued orders.

"All rescuers, dig with bare hands."

Currently this is the only way to use it.

Although large machines are fast, they are likely to cause secondary damage.

The rescuers were very agile and cleared the upper layer of rubble quickly and orderly.

Two thick beams and pillars were exposed under the rubble. One was almost 30 centimeters in diameter and weighed about 1,000 kilograms.

The two are crossed together, and they need to move the upper one before they can move the lower one.

You need to be very careful when handling these beams and columns, otherwise it will cause pressure below.

After everyone discussed it, they decided to lift the pillars away with their bare hands.

They still underestimated the weight of these pillars. When they lifted one end, the rubble under the pillar at the other end instantly fell down.

That was right above where the child and woman were trapped. It was possible that the child was hit by the rubble, and his crying suddenly became louder.

This made all the rescuers sweat.

"what to do?"

"As long as we lift the pillar here, it will inevitably cause the pillar on the other side to shake."

Just when the rescue could no longer continue, a young rescue soldier suddenly said.

"I have an idea!"

"What can I do?"

Everyone looked at him eagerly.

"There was a gap between the two pillars. I got in and pressed my body against the upper pillar. This prevented the two pillars from colliding and causing the rubble to fall down."

This soldier's opinion is indeed a solution, but if it doesn't work well, he may be crushed by a pillar weighing 1,000 kilograms.

"Don't hesitate, everyone. The trapped children and women below may be in great danger."

After the young soldier finished speaking, he turned directly through the gap between the two pillars.

The gap was so narrow that his chest was directly stuck.

"Lao Li, help me."

The other rescue soldiers didn't care much when they saw the situation. Saving people was more important now.

With the combined efforts of everyone, the young soldier got into the middle of the two pillars.

He used his body as a cushion while other rescue soldiers began to lift the pillar above.

The soldier below suddenly felt a heavy weight on his back.

But he must grit his teeth and persist.

With the joint efforts of everyone, the top pillar was lifted out.

After taking off the upper pillar, the next step will be easy.

Everyone worked together to quickly lift out the pillar below.

Revealing only the heads of children and women who were buried underneath.

In order to prevent the surrounding area from collapsing, they had to let the young soldier jump in alone and dig it out with their bare hands.

Five minutes later.

In order to rescue the children and women as quickly as possible, the soldier's nails were worn down and blood was oozing out, but he still endured the pain.

Eventually, the child and the woman were rescued.

Fortunately, the woman just fainted and was still breathing.

The viewers of Dragon Kingdom in front of the TV were all happy and moved when they saw this.

Just as they were being rescued for children and women.

"Wow!"
Chapter completed!
