Chapter 160 Rescue Operation
"Each of you get a set. It's 7:30 now. Clean up the collapsed buildings as quickly as possible. You can't leave until at least 10:30. Those who have mechas can use them. Energy is unlimited and repairs are free. The maintenance engineers in this building are obliged to help you with repairs. Those who don't get machines and tools can use these shovels and probes to help."
"Considering safety issues, we'd better ensure that at least one-tenth of the people use mechas, and allocate a small number to serve as security guards. There are a total of 5,000 people here, which means we need 500 mecha divisions. Anyone who signs up must complete it within ten minutes. This mission is also voluntary, and if you really don't want to participate, you don't have to join."
Ji Heng was very efficient. He made his request and Feng Wansha completed a small program in just a few minutes. Registration was also a matter of scanning a code and filling out a form.
Those who wanted to join the army all volunteered to do so. Even veterans like Yunji, who had been in society for many years, chose to join.
There is no other reason. There will be reporters for this rescue. Since the New World competition, they have benefited from the fan effect. If they don’t want to lose traffic, it is important to maintain their image.
Yunji follows the "right path" and does not take action at the moment of rescue, which will greatly affect subsequent business.
As for the "Prince Group" of Taro's second echelon, they were in a bad mood, planning to watch others work hard while they trained on their own.
However, these people are not in Ji Heng's team, and he can't manage so many people.
Five thousand people is already his current management limit.
The vegetable farmers spontaneously used mechas.
The mecha was bought before and had never been used much. It was only used for a while in school, and then Su Xiaocai made a customized mecha for them.
It would be a waste if the mecha was not used. Now is the perfect time to do it, so I don't feel bad about it.
The only ones who didn't buy mechas were Liu Xun and Pan Mingjie, but they had a rich coach, Su Xiaocai, who gave them standard mechas to prevent them from getting into accidents.
Even if it is a standard mecha, it is a standard black wing, so as soon as their two mechas appear.
Many players who were reluctant to use their own mechas signed up immediately.
As long as Black Wing stands there, he looks so handsome that they want to rub against him.
Being a vegetable farmer is really a blessing. Feng Huai and Ruoting immediately became friends with Liu Xun and asked him whether this mecha was customized for them by Su Xiaocai.
Liu Xun was very proud. He raised his mecha hand and waved it, saying, "What? You look down on our Coach Su? This is a standard mecha. Don't you see that they look exactly the same? It's a customized mecha, so we can't show it for the time being."
They also made money, so they could still afford to customize the mecha.
Who among the mecha technicians would complain about having too many mechas? The average mecha farmer has three mechas, one old model, one standard Black Wing, and one customized mecha.
Ji Heng, Hu Ping, Wu Qingqing, and Feng Wansha were more generous. They had an extra custom-made transformable mecha, which means that each of the four of them had four mechas.
It's so infuriating.
There is money at home.
Rich families can send their children to study mecha-related majors, so they will naturally not be stingy with this little money.
The first three people are purely loved by their family.
Feng Wansha felt that her family had treated Su Xiaocai badly before, and she was trying to repay their kindness with material things, which was too unkind.
Su Xiaocai has become rich, and knowing that Su Xiaocai has a solid background, he now says with a smug look that he wants to have a good relationship with Su Xiaocai.
So Feng Wansha engaged in revenge spending.
The Feng family didn't dare to say a word. But since they had done it, they could only rely on Feng Wansha to make up for it.
Sasha is close to Su Xiaocai. They frankly admit that they have done something wrong and shouldn't look down on others, and then happily give money to Feng Wansha.
Su Xiaocai didn't care, as she didn't get along with the Feng family.
Feng Huai sniffed and leaned against Liu Xun. "When will Cai Cai make a customized mecha? Brother, help me cut in line. After it's done, I'll promise you everything. I can also introduce you to Nuoting's sister. His sister is your fan and likes you very much."
Ruoting: "Go away, Feng Huai, are you still human? I'll be the one to introduce you."
"Is my sister cute? Is she pretty? I want to be cuter than my coach." Liu Xun put forward a condition that was difficult to surpass. In the eyes of many contestants, Su Xiaocai's appearance was cute and irrefutable.
Ruoting assured, "Of course, it's cute, cuter than Coach Su."
"Isn't sister Ruoting only three years old?" You Shiqing exposed their trick.
Feng Huai shook his head and laughed: "She is three years old. It's so funny. The little girl can even scold Ruoting as a weak brother. Introduce Liu Xun to her and wait for her to scold Liu Xun too."
Ruoting, the sister-showing maniac, said: "Just tell me, is she cute or not? My little Doudou is the cutest sister in the world."
You Shiqing took a deep breath: She was thinking the wrong way. These two straight men were just stupid and only had plans to trick their opponents in their minds.
Liu Xun was annoyed: "Asshole."
It was impossible for him to cut in line. He didn't want to disturb Su Xiaocai who was growing vegetables. Now she was very excited. In order to grow vegetables, she no longer wanted to be a "vegetable farmer".
If you bother her about the mecha again, she'll treat herself like a vegetable.
Buildings in this area have collapsed for several days.
When the Mechanical Planet began to suffer, the Blue Planet's defense line collapsed for a while. Fortunately, Lieutenant General Bai's army was arranged to come over and stabilize the situation.
The two main generals of the Mechanical Planet were not killed, but were seriously injured.
The reason why they lost so quickly.
First, the invading Zerg people coincidentally attacked the main system of the planet-destroying weapon, and then besieged the two main generals. The main generals who were held back were unable to issue accurate orders.
One wrong step and the collapse begins.
Later, a large number of insects attacked and the mechanical planet fell. The soldiers rushed out at the risk of their lives and were able to save most of the fresh troops.
When the mechanical planet was invaded, the Blue Star alarm sounded and the leaders evacuated the people in time.
If the insects are given a chance, the Blue Planet will become a nest for the insects and become just like another Yellow Ocean Planet, and will cease to exist.
There weren't that many Zerg people coming to Blue Star, but the impact area was too large, and the people left on Blue Star couldn't be rescued.
There always has to be a trade-off. Those who are buried deep inside can only be rescued after more manpower is available.
When the contestants arrived, they took on this responsibility.
The people in Ji Heng's building assembled the fastest and worked the hardest, and their work arrangements were well-organized.
With the addition of mechas, the cleanup work becomes faster.
They dug for a long time but couldn't find a complete body. All they could find was basically a pool of blood and some half-dead bodies that had died together with the insect people.
Every time a place is cleaned up, the shock it brings to the contestants is indescribable.
Wu Qingqing felt distressed as she dug.
Some of the skeletons were so small that it was obvious that they were children. Next to the child was a woman's arm, with her fingers tightly grasping the child's clothes.
Those who are more emotional, seeing this scene, would go aside and cry, and then come back after venting their emotions.
When they dug an underground railway, Wu Qingqing stopped the mecha and took out the life detection and eavesdropping device.
Xiao Wu, the mecha's navigator, said, "Analysis shows a faint cry for help, please be careful."
"Someone come, there may be someone alive here." There are air-raid shelters and some spare food in the urban rail, and it is very likely that this is the reason why there are people alive.
Wu Qingqing quickly pulled Feng Wansha over and analyzed how to dig a gap, as every second counts in saving people.
The place where the cry for help was heard happened to have several floors of buildings collapsed on it, making the rescue more difficult.
There is empty space underneath the urban rail, and if the operation is not done properly, secondary collapse is likely to occur.
In this situation, an expert must be called in.
Wu Qingqing reported the matter to Ji Heng, who quickly reported it to his superiors.
Before the experts arrived, Feng Wansha released Su Xiaocai's pathfinder spider.
The tiny spider crawled out from the mecha's fingers, and the metallic spider turned in a circle on the spot.
It rolls along the cracks in the ground and goes underground. When it encounters uneven terrain, its slender mechanical legs move in coordinated steps and crawl quickly.
The little spider released scattered light around its body, scanning the underground. According to Feng Wansha's request, it went to look for living people.
Pass through a narrow passage and enter the open underground.
But there was no living person in this place. After scanning up and down, I saw a tightly closed door, and the cry for help came from inside the door.
"Help, someone come and save us."
Not only was there a cry for help, there was also a ten-star universal distress signal, but there seemed to be a layer of signal blocking on the ground, and the distress signal could not be transmitted, so they were not discovered until now.
The little spider couldn't make any sound, so it looked around and found a small vent that it should be able to get in from.
It climbed up the wall and entered the vent.
The people underground suddenly saw the light, and surprise showed on their numb faces. They covered their eyes and squinted, but couldn't see clearly.
I just thought it was something strange, and then fear surged into my heart.
"Bug man."
A scream woke up everyone underground, and they quickly gathered together to protect the child. "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, it's a little robot." Someone got used to the soft light of the little spider and saw its true face on the vent.
There were fifteen people in total underground. Two of them were lying on the ground. One had a pale face and a broken leg, which was just bandaged with clothes.
The other one was wearing white clothes and was in a coma, with only his chest still moving.
"Please save us, two of us are dying here, please."
"They are badly injured and won't last long."
The little spider couldn't speak. It seemed to see people calm down. A mechanical spider no bigger than a fingernail jumped in and used light to leave words on the wall, "Don't move, don't make a sound."
It turned around, crawled out of underground, and went further. Its goal was to explore the entire underground and analyze the situation underground.
More than a dozen people trapped underground cried with excitement, and some lovers and couples hugged each other tightly.
"Great, we're finally saved. Just wait a little longer."
The two children huddled together, sobbing quietly because of the sound of the insect man just now.
It is not difficult to understand that when children are nervous, they can only express it by crying.
But these adults are not their parents, and it is not easy for them to protect them until now.
"Just shut up, it's so annoying." Someone spoke up. While waiting anxiously, he became even more annoyed when he heard a child crying.
"Okay, okay, it doesn't take that much time."
"Don't cry, there are people outside saving us."
"That spider just now must be a new type of equipment." Change the subject and say something to distract attention.
"I don't know, I haven't seen it. Maybe. Is the situation outside okay?"
They felt sad at the thought of their home being destroyed, but they were lucky to be rescued soon.
When Spider-Man walked to a certain position, the signal was suddenly cut off.
Feng Wansha was a little unsure about the sudden change. She had analyzed the terrain, and logically, the little spider would not lose energy so quickly.
"There's something wrong. The little spider seems to have been attacked." Feng Wansha was afraid that there might be insect-men hiding underneath, and her experience was not enough to make a judgment.
"What should we do? Haven't we explored it? Are there still insect people? There is no way that the insect people would let so many living people go."
"Clear the buildings here first. The people down there are not in good condition and are still alive, so it's difficult to dig a hole to get in." The weight of the surface buildings needs to be reduced before a path can be cleared.
"I'll ask Su Xiaocai first, you guys wait."
There was a problem when I used the Pathfinder Spider for the first time. I had to be cautious and ask Su Xiaocai first.
"Normal bug-men won't attack small spiders. They are only interested in food."
"Could it be startled by the light? Or maybe it's not an ordinary insect man." Feng Wansha said, and Su Xiaocai said, "Then be bold, treat this as a competition, don't be afraid of making the wrong decision, you can't rely on me forever."
But this is reality, and Feng Wansha couldn't make a correct judgment for a while, "Okay, I understand."
She did not hesitate any longer and told Ji Heng about the situation, asking them to be ready for action, in case there were insect people imprisoned underground and they might need to take action.
The end of the mechanical spider happens to be a prone to collapse point and cannot be moved at will.
Ji Heng quickly mobilized manpower to guard the drilling point.
Experts rushed over, analyzed the terrain, made a judgment, and dug a hole.
The drilling rig has a support arm that supports both ends and starts to move forward.
Feng Wansha released another little spider in. This time she didn't turn on the light source. When she reached the place where the little spider's signal disappeared, she saw a picture under the night vision mode. An extremely ugly insect face appeared in front of the spider.
Most of its body was nailed to the ground by several strange pillars, nailed from the beginning, and the place where it was located was not like an ordinary urban rail tunnel.
More like a large laboratory.
She took a deep breath, "It's the greedy ones."
This greedy creature looked a little weak, but it was still struggling.
The body is shriveling, nutrients are transferred to the head, the "neck" is stretching and slowly falling off, and soon, its head may be separated from the body.
With this kind of active separation, the insect people will not die, at most they will be reduced to the strength of cowardly insect soldiers.
I heard there are greedy people underground, they will escape soon, everyone speed up,
Ji Heng and Xing Miao both thought that they should not take the responsibility of this matter for the time being, as the military's way of handling it should be better than theirs.
Some people disagreed and were eager to make a contribution, but Ji Heng did not think that such contribution was necessary.
Upon learning that there were insect people underground, the soldiers arrived quickly.
The man who came was a lieutenant and his thirty soldiers. "What's the situation? How long will it take to dig a hole? Will we have enough time?"
In an emergency, Ji Heng mobilized hundreds of people to start work and clean up the building as soon as possible.
The living people are not far from the insect people.
Now we can only race against time and be one step ahead of the insect people.
If there were no living people underground, they could use electromagnetic waves to deal a fatal blow to the insect people. Now the insect people are too close to the living people.
Experts have measured that they cannot dig a hole above the insect man, not because they are afraid of collapse, but because it is too hard. After detection, they found that it would take a lot of time to dig to reach the location of the insect man, so it is better to rescue people first.
On the first day of cleaning, we encountered a difficult incident. It was quite difficult.
The little spider stood still, watching the greedy man's movements.
After a while, all the contestants who were not driving mechas retreated and the hole opened.
The large lamps hanging in the air shone inside for a few days, torturing people's spirits to the point of driving them crazy. When they saw the light, the people underground hurried to climb out.
The two stronger ones tried their best and got out on their own without waiting for anyone to rescue them.
Since the opening is slanted downwards, walking is possible without much effort.
Finally returning to the ground, the survivors breathed in deep gulps of the outside air.
The entrance to the cave is not big and can only accommodate two people at most. There are two seriously injured people inside, so someone must go in and move them.
The two children were carried to the cave entrance, where they were caught by the lieutenant who led the rescue team.
When they saw the ground again, the light was uncomfortable for their eyes. The child was so excited that he started crying again. It was very quiet around them. Feng Wansha saw that the insect man seemed to be more responsive to the child's crying. She said, "Don't let the child cry."
The lieutenant quickly covered their mouths with one hand each and ordered the others to take them to the Blue Star Rescue Center.
After the child was taken away, the insect man's speed in breaking free was not as fast, but it was still extremely tense.
The captain who led the team ordered his subordinates to put on exoskeletons. He understood the condition of the injured people inside and how to treat their injuries.
Among the 15 rescued people, there was a nurse. She said: "His lower leg was broken, about 10 centimeters above the ankle. I took apart a straight rubber strip from a toy and fixed it for him. I don't know why the other one was unconscious. When I saw him, he was unconscious, but he was not dead. He was still breathing and he never woke up."
After the soldier put on the exoskeleton, he was able to pass through the hole by bending over.
The lieutenant told his subordinates, "Save the seriously injured first."
The subordinate nodded and drove the exoskeleton slowly down. Halfway down, he straightened his back and adjusted himself.
Suddenly, rubble fell from above, and the machinery that supported the entrance of the cave hurriedly tried to repair it, but the entrance was still half buried.
The soldier wearing the exoskeleton turned his head and beads of sweat gathered on the tip of his nose, luckily they didn't hit the top of his head.
He was worried for himself and became more careful. When he arrived at the location, he squatted down to check on the two people. It was just as the nurse said. The man with a broken leg was pale and looked like he was about to die. His injuries were very serious.
He took out the rescue bed from the space button and opened the bandaged area to see if there were any external injuries. There were only some bruises, so there was no need to disinfect on the spot.
Because next he will inject a tube of nutrient solution into the seriously injured person, and then a tube of healing agent to stabilize the vital signs first. Although it will accelerate bone healing, the problem can be solved by surgery later.
As long as you don't die, a broken leg is a small problem.
Seeing that the injured man's pale face had eased a little, the soldier carried him to the rescue bed. The fallen rocks had been cleared, and another teammate came in. The two of them carried the man out one after the other.
It took ten minutes.
Feng Wansha showed the lieutenant the image of the insect man, "Hurry up."
The lieutenant saw that the insect man was just a little bit away. Its head had been completely separated from its body, and then it was growing another body.
This was not a solution, as two soldiers had already turned back to rescue the other person.
He frowned, wondering what to do. If he couldn't rescue them, sending two more people in would be a death sentence. Such a dark and narrow place would not be conducive for fighting.
