One day...
Two days...
Three days...
In the blink of an eye, six days passed. The Power of Time and Wealth 241
This morning, dark clouds filled the sky, and most of the sky was dark. Heavy rain began in the northwest region of Yantai County in the middle of the night. The rainfall was the heaviest in the past ten years. Dong Xuebin's injury has basically recovered. Although he has not fully recovered and the weather today is really bad, Dong Xuebin still drove to the County Public Security Bureau despite the heavy rain. The worse the weather, the greater the test for the public security organs. Dong Xuebin is tired of staying at home these days, and he is eager to get into work.
Crackling, raindrops hitting the umbrella made bursts of sound.
In the Public Security Bureau compound, Dong Xuebin who was about to enter Office Building met Gong Zongwen who had just gotten off the car.
"Director Dong? Why are you at work now? How is your health?"
"So-so, haha, basically no problem."
"Why is it okay? Your hands are still tied with gauze. How can this be done?"
"I can move now. There is some skin trauma under the gauze. It won't be a big deal if it gets wet now."
As they talked, the two entered the corridor, closed their umbrellas and walked upstairs. Along the way, I met several leaders of the Public Security Bureau and greeted Dong Xuebin one after another. They were very concerned about his physical condition. After greeting everyone, Dong Xuebin turned a corner and went directly upstairs to the director's office to find Liang Chengpeng. Firstly, he reported to the leaders, and secondly, he wanted to implement the Third-Class Merit who risked his life.
In the office, Liang Chengpeng is approving a document.
Dong Xuebin closed the door and said with a smile, "Director Liang, I'm here to report."
Liang Chengpeng raised his head and glanced at the gauze on Dong Xuebin's hand, and frowned immediately, "Go home and rest immediately, and I will give you a five-day holiday. How can you come back to work when you are still injured? I know that work is important, but my body is not in good shape. It is useless to say anything. Seeing you like this makes me sweat."
Dong Xuebin smiled and moved his arms, "Director Liang Look, it's really okay."
Liang Chengpeng said, "Then take off the gauze and let me take a look."
"Ahem, to tell you the truth, I'm tired of staying home. What's the case in the bureau? Please arrange one for me quickly."
Liang Chengpeng said angrily and funny, "How do you want me to arrange work for you like this?"
"Oh, I..."
"You, don't say anything. If you insist on going to work, go back to the office and do the liaison work with Huitian Township Police Station. When your injury is completely healed, you will be busy. Now, your task is to take good care of your body. Don't show off to me." Finally Liang Chengpeng also told Dong Xuebin that Yantai County's weather has been bad these days, and he will officially open a Commendation Meeting next week and issue him Third-Class Merit's certificate and medal.
Back in his office, Dong Xuebin drank tea boredly.
Finally, Dong Xuebin called Police Station, "Hello, Lao Liu, I'm Dong Xuebin." The Power of Time and Wealth 241
Liu Dahai on the other end of the phone said, "Director Dong, are you in the bureau? Are you okay?"
"That's almost it. How is the security situation in Huitian Township recently?"
"Everything is fine, but the rain was so heavy that it hasn't happened in ten years. There are problems on two mountain roads in the countryside. We sent people to put up warning signs in the less serious areas. In the more serious areas, the township issued orders and started to cooperate with relevant departments to take road closure measures. Alas, the rain is still falling, and it is getting heavier. It is estimated that it will not stop at night. If this continues, there will definitely be more and more problems."
Dong Xuebin frowned, "Do we have enough manpower?"
"For now, it's barely okay."
"Okay, try your best to coordinate all aspects, and I'll drive over right away."
"Director Dong, the rain is so heavy, please pay attention to your safety."
"Haha, okay."
Dong Xuebin just saw that such heavy rain might cause problems, so he came to work with injuries, so he didn't listen to Director Liang who told him to sit in the office, put his bag in his arms, and went downstairs. At that time, I met a deputy director of the office, who happened to say hello to the office and said that he was going to the countryside. Then he went to the Public Security Bureau compound to pick up the outstanding Mercedes Business and drove to the countryside.
Under the pouring rain, the car drove through a stream of water.
Dong Xuebin In his current state, there is still no problem in driving, but he cannot exercise too strenuously.
Ten minutes...
Twenty minutes...
Yantai County, who originally had good traffic conditions, was also stuck in a traffic jam today, and it took Dong Xuebin a long time to drive the car out of the county. This time he had a reminder and chose a road with relatively light traffic to Huitian Township. After going around seven or eight detours, the car finally went up the mountain road. The road conditions in this area are not particularly good, the road is not very flat, and it is next to a mountain, and stones roll from the hillside onto the road from time to time.
Dong Xuebin concentrated some attention and slowed down the car a little.
Heavy raindrops washed over the windshield, making it almost impossible to see the road surface with ripples.
Ring ring ring, ring ring ring, the phone suddenly rang. Dong Xuebin didn't dare to be distracted, and while looking at the road ahead, he reached out to touch his cell phone. He rubbed it several times before grabbing it, "... Hey, who's driving?"
"I'm Liang Chengpeng, have you gone to the countryside?"
"Well, I'm not too worried about that. Let's go over and take a look."
Liang Chengpeng's voice was a little urgent, "Qingnan Road Something happened over there. If you are near again, rush over immediately."
Dong Xuebin was stunned, "What happened? The road collapsed?"
Zizzi, the phone signal is a bit poor, "... the mountain... is... I... will go there immediately..." Beep beep, the phone is disconnected. Dong Xuebin called hello twice, but when there was no sound from the other end, he called back, but the signal was not enough to make a call. Dong Xuebin thought for a moment, Qingnan Road? My current position is on the edge of Qingnan Road. Something happened? What happened? The Power of Time and Wealth 241
Just as I was thinking about it, there was a sudden loud noise and a sudden change.
I saw that the road ahead suddenly turned black, and rocks and sand rushed down from the mountain with a huff.
Dong Xuebin was so frightened that he looked to the side as fast as he could, only to see a stream of sand and gravel rushing towards Mercedes at a speed that Xunlei couldn't cover his ears. Come on, we were already six or seven meters away in the blink of an eye. Dong Xuebin shook his hands and hurriedly turned the steering wheel to rush to the left. Because the turn was too sharp, the rear of the car almost drifted and turned a 180-degree turn on the slippery road.
The crashing mud and rocks flew down and passed Mercedes dangerously.
Dong Xuebin was so shocked that she broke into a cold sweat. It was too dangerous.
Only now did he understand what Director Liang said had happened to Qingnan Road. It was a landslide that might have been minor at this level. However, on the road ahead, due to the steep mountain and the long-term mining of Gold Mine on the mountain, it is very likely that large-scale landslides or even mudslides would occur. If there happened to be a car or pedestrian passing by, the consequences would be unimaginable, and one of them would die.
Thinking of this, Dong Xuebin's face changed, and his heart rose to his throat.
What to do? There must be danger ahead. Should we go back the same way or rush over?
After thinking for a few seconds, Dong Xuebin's eyes gradually became clear. The more this situation happened, the more he had to set an example and rush to the front. Otherwise, he would retreat to the end as soon as he saw the danger. He, Public Security Bureau, should not be the deputy director. So, Dong Xuebin immediately started the car. The tires were idling in the puddles and got stuck in the mud on the roadside. Dong Xuebin was so anxious that he patted the steering wheel and continued to step on the accelerator.
five minutes passed
Ten minutes have passed
Finally, with Dong Xuebin's efforts, the car slowly walked out of the mud pit. With a turn of the steering wheel, Dong Xuebin avoided the mud and rocks in front and drove forward.
Hurry up. I hope there are no casualties.
Because the car was stuck in the soil, it took some time. When Dong Xuebin rushed to the scene, Director Liang had already arrived. They should have taken another route. However, what surprised Dong Xuebin was that he actually saw County Chief Xie Huilan and County Party Deputy Secretary Cao Xupeng from a distance. Hu Silian gave County Chief Xie was holding an umbrella and was talking anxiously with several relevant persons in charge outside the car. Liang Chengpeng was also there with several people giving full command. There were many people at the scene, including Fire Brigade, Police Station, and local villagers.
As soon as he saw this formation, Dong Xuebin felt his heart skip a beat, knowing that the situation was serious.
Scanning farther away, Dong Xuebin took a breath of air.
On the road below the hillside, a bus overturned on its side, and a huge boulder stayed not far from the bus, as if it had rolled down the mountain. The screams in the bus were overwhelming, and it seemed that someone had been injured in an unknown way. Because the glass may be thicker, not all of it was broken. The people at Rescue Team were quickly organizing people from the upside-down door to rescue the trapped people.
"Little Dong" Liang Chengpeng saw his car and shouted loudly.
This area belongs to Huitian Township, and Liu Dahai and Chen Fa are also here.
Dong Xuebin saw that the situation was not good, so he opened the car door and ran over without even opening an umbrella, "Director Liang, is there anything I can do to help?"
Liang Chengpeng wiped the rain from his face, "Your injury is not healed yet, don't act nonsense, go put on a raincoat, and then you are responsible for directing Police Station to rescue the trapped people. The rescue speed is too slow. Quick, be careful and smash the glass. Rescue people in batches through several windows. All people must be rescued within three minutes. If it is later, no one knows how serious the landslide will be."
Dong Xuebin As soon as he agreed, he immediately went to organize manpower.
Liang Chengpeng has a heavy complexion, as does Xie Huilan Cao Xupeng not far away.
Before they came, they never expected that things would turn out like this. The initial feedback from below was that a tour bus was trapped in Qingnan Road, with thirty or forty people trapped. Considering that there were minor landslides in many places near Yantai County, Some leaders, including Xie Huilan and Cao Xupeng, were afraid that the situation would worsen and immediately rushed to the scene to direct the rescue. However, no one expected that when they first arrived at the scene, they happened to see a huge boulder and some sand rolling down from the mountain and overturning the bus. The scene was simply shocking.
County Chief Xie immediately ordered rescue. After hearing the news, County Party Secretary Xiang Daofa was also on the way.
When Dong Xuebin came, it was only a few minutes after the incident, which was the most urgent moment. Now he didn't care about the injury on his hands. He casually took the raincoat handed by Liu Dahai and put it on quickly. He shouted a few words and asked people to smash the glass with objects, and he seized all the time to rescue the trapped people. Several rescued women and elderly people were put into a rescue minibus. Thinking of the shocking scene just now, several of them cried.
"Faster, faster"
"Someone comes out here, come and pick him up."
"Don't crowd, don't crowd, come one by one."
At this time, Xie Huilan finally saw Dong Xuebin who was directing there. His eyelids jumped immediately, and he squinted and said to Hu Silian, "Have someone put Director Dong Please come back to the car. Why is he here? What are you doing?" Cao Xupeng and several other people also saw the gauze wrapped around Director Dong's hand, knowing that his injury was not healed yet.
Hu Silian hurriedly ran over, "Director Dong Director Dong"
"When you hit the glass with rocks, remember to avoid people." After giving the instruction, Dong Xuebin looked back, "Secretary Hu, what's going on?"
Hu Silian said quickly, "County Chief Xie asked you to get back in the car and said you were being ridiculous."
Dong Xuebin said, "Where do I have time now? Thank you County Chief Xie for your concern. My injury is not in the way... Hey, come out one by one and don't make a mess. Don't make a mess. First, keep an eye on the old man, woman and children."
Hu Silian was anxious, "Director Dong"
Dong Xuebin waved his hand, "Hurry back and it's dangerous. I'm fine."
In desperation, Hu Silian had no choice but to turn around and return.
Before she could report to County Chief Xie, Xie Huilan waved her hand, "I understand."
Cao Xupeng slapped his mouth, "This Little Dong doesn't take care of his own body so much."
Xie Huilan narrowed his eyes, "It doesn't matter what he loves," he seemed angry.
With a click, a piece of glass near the front of the car was smashed, and there was an additional rescue exit. Some people were pulled out from the door, and some climbed out of the glass. Dozens of people trapped in the bus were rescued one after another. Within a moment, thirty people had come out, and some others were slowly crawling out. Some may have been injured and lay unable to move in the bus, shouting for help.
Liang Chengpeng said loudly, "Get in the car and save people"
Dong Xuebin added, "Prepare the stretcher quickly"
If he hadn't known that his arm injury was not healed, Dong Xuebin would have rushed up. Gravels kept rolling down the hillside, hitting Tour Bus one by one. Two rescuers were hit by stones and fell to the ground. Zhou Some Rescue Team people were around to free up their hands to rescue them, carrying stretchers to move the wounded and trapped people to the place where County Chief Xie and County Leaders were - the mountains and forests over there were denser, and except for some rainwater rushing down the mountain, there had been no landslides, so it was very safe.
a...
two...
three...
Three more people were rescued in the bus
Xie Huilan, Cao Xupeng and others felt a little relieved.
Dong Xuebin also wiped his rain-covered face and exhaled slightly. Fortunately, Xie Huilan Liang Chengpeng arrived in time. If these rescuers had arrived later, they would not have been able to move all the trapped people in a short time. It should be fine now. With three or four more people, all the trapped people in the bus could be rescued.
But just when it seemed that everyone could be rescued in two minutes, an accident happened.
There were loud noises coming from the mountain. I don't know if it was thunder or something else.
Then, under everyone's stunned gaze, the hillside on the side of the bus seemed to move slightly. The surface of the mountain trembled more and more with the rumbling sound. Even Xie Huilan Liang Chengpeng felt the vibration on the soles of their feet, as if it was an earthquake.
Xie Huilan's face changed instantly
Cao Xupeng and Dong Xuebin also turned pale, and their chests seemed to have been hit hard.
Then, a massive landslide struck instantly
"Ah"
"The mountain collapsed"
"It's coming down, it's a slippery slope."
"Niu Niu"
"Da Lei"
"No"
Thick sand and gravel rolled down the hillside, and in the blink of an eye, they had reached the foot of the mountain.
Several people who were rescuing were already dumbfounded, and those who were still far away panicked and rushed in the direction of County Leaders. Among those who were close, there was a young man with quick reactions who saw that it was too late to dodge. He jumped into the bus through the car window first, and the person behind him also figured it out and jumped in after him. Of course, human power cannot compete with nature. Only by hiding in the bus can we have a glimmer of hope for survival.
The sand is too thick
Thick enough to be as tall as a person
half a second...
One second...
A huge landslide was coming, swallowing Tour Bus completely in an instant
Dong Xuebin was still far away. When he saw this scene, he grabbed a stupid policeman next to him and ran towards County Leaders in a hurry. The landslide was only on this side of Tour Bus. The other places were considered safe for the time being, and most people were not injured.
However, after the landslide, everyone looked in the direction of Tour Bus...
The first thing you see is a vast earthy yellow color
There is sand, mud, rocks and grass.
But that Tour Bus... is gone
There is only a thick layer of mud and gravel on the road a few hundred meters ahead, and Tour Bus can no longer be seen.
In the mud, a young man named Rescue Team had not had time to escape. His lower body had been swallowed up by the sand, and only his head was exposed. His eyes stared in horror, and he died on the spot.
Liu Dahai and Chen Fa's eyes were red, "Xiao Sun"
The person who died was the co-police officer of Huitian Township Police Station
Many trapped people who had just been rescued ran out of Tour Bus like crazy, calling the names of their relatives.
"It's over, it's over"
"Niu Niu ah Niu Niu"
"Da Lei, please help him. My son is still in the car. My son is still here."
Cries, shouts, and screams merged with the sound of rolling sand and stones, resounding throughout the sky
Liang Chengpeng suddenly clenched his fist, is it too late? Or is it too late?
The bus has been completely covered by thick mud, and the remnants of a lot of sand and gravel are still sweeping over the scene. The possibility of people in the bus surviving is almost non-existent.
Too late
everything happened so fast
[We are still having an annual meeting in Chengdu. We have a flight on the 28th, so the update may be in the evening. I just stayed up late today to finish writing, so I will update it at night.]
