Temporary Rescue Team!

Outside the alley.

The Street Office staff surrounded Dong Xuebin, who had narrowly escaped death.

"Director, how are you?" Zhou Yanru asked anxiously, "Are you injured?"

Dong Xuebin took a breath. "I'm fine. What's the situation now? What about casualties?"

Zhou Yanru said, agitated, "We can't reach the district, nor the Street Office. All lines are down. We don't know what's happening!"

"Are there still residents in the alley?"

"They were all evacuated earlier. The rest are all here," Peng Gang said.

"Yes, I just asked everyone. There's no one left in this area of hutongs."

"That's good!" Dong Xuebin thought, Luckily, they evacuated in time, or it would have been a disaster. He looked at the somewhat panicked and absent-minded Street Office staff around him and immediately said loudly:

"Everyone from the Street Office, listen up! There's been an earthquake, and this is just the first wave. There will definitely be more earthquakes. I know you're all worried about your families. If you're worried about your parents and relatives, you can leave now. I won't force anyone to stay. If your families are already in the shelter, then stay. Now is when the Common People need us! Every single one of us! Follow me to Save People!"

The Street Office staff were stunned. They didn't expect Director Dong to say that they could leave.

Peng Gang said with a dark face, "Director! The phones and transportation are down! We don't know when the rescue team will arrive! We can only rely on ourselves now! Saving the Common People is the priority!"

One person said, "That's right, we can't leave at this time!"

A Clerk from the Street Office, who was clearly worried about his family's safety, gritted his teeth and said, "Let's all Save People! Let's Save People first!"

"Bullshit!" Dong Xuebin looked at them coldly. "Aren't your parents Common People? Aren't your children Common People? You can't even protect your own families, and you're talking about other things!" Dong Xuebin's policy has always been very humane. He didn't forcibly order everyone to stay. "I'll say it again! Those who are worried about their families should go back immediately! Take care of your family matters and then report back to me!"

Zhou Yanru looked to the side and said, "Xiao Wang, doesn't your wife and child live in Willow Lane Residential Area? Go back quickly."

"But I..." Xiao Wang's eyes turned red.

"Go," Zhou Yanru said.

Xiao Wang bit his lip and looked at Dong Xuebin. "Thank you, Director! I'll be back as soon as I see my child!" He turned and strode south.

Immediately, several more people from the Street Office left.

Dong Xuebin nodded slightly, not daring to delay for even a second, and began to arrange work. "Director Zhou, it's not safe here either. You immediately lead the remaining Clerks and the Common People to the shelter. Adapt to the situation. I'm entrusting this task to you. You must guarantee the safety of the Common People!"

Zhou Yanru's expression turned serious. "Yes!" She turned to the hundreds of residents and said, "Everyone, follow me!"

Many people in the crowd looked at each other. Many strong young men stood up and looked at Dong Xuebin. "Director Dong, I can help too."

"Count me in!"

"Me too, let's all Save People!"

A full six or seven local residents stood up, all Common People who had just been pulled back from the brink of death by the Street Office staff.

This allowed Dong Xuebin to see the beautiful side of human nature. His heart warmed, and he said loudly, "Okay! Then I'll have to trouble you all! You follow everyone to evacuate! If you see any people in danger on the way, help them if you can!"

Zhou Yanru quickly left with the people, a large group of over a hundred.

Only Dong Xuebin, Peng Gang, and four Police auxiliary Police officers remained here.

Outside on the road, the ground was full of ruins, and the entire street was blocked. Cars couldn't get out, so they could only walk.

Dong Xuebin looked at the devastated street, feeling very uncomfortable. A surge of anger blocked his throat, but he couldn't vent it.

"Let's go too!" Dong Xuebin looked at the few people left and said, "The west side must be severely affected! Let's go west along the road! We'll save as many as we can!"

Peng Gang and the others quickly followed. "There are only six of us, I'm afraid..."

Dong Xuebin didn't speak. He knew there weren't enough people, but he couldn't contact the district or gather rescue personnel. They had to rely on themselves.

On the road, scattered residents were panicking.

Peng Gang shouted at them, "Go to Guangming Park! Don't run around! Don't get too close to buildings! There's a shelter there! Go there and wait for rescue!"

Many people listened and did as they were told. Everyone had lost their backbone.

Suddenly, a sharp voice cried out, "Help! Someone, help!"

Dong Xuebin and the others looked in the direction of the sound and saw a woman kneeling in front of a collapsed shop entrance, her face full of tears, digging frantically with her hands.

Dong Xuebin and the others rushed up. "What's wrong?"

The woman saw them and cried, "Quick! Quick, save my husband! He's buried! He's buried!"

The shop hadn't completely collapsed, and there was still some space inside. Faint groans came from under the rubble, the person was still alive!

"Old Peng!" Dong Xuebin took the lead. "One person on each side!"

"...Understood!"

As long as they moved the obstacles, the person could come out.

But when they tried to pry open a section of the wall on top, they found that their strength wasn't enough. The wall was very thick and heavy. Dong Xuebin and the others didn't have professional rescue tools, so there was no way to move the broken wall on top.

The woman cried, "Da Wei! Hold on! Hold on! The people from the Street Office are here to save you!"

However, the groans inside were getting weaker and weaker, and it looked like he was about to give out.

Dong Xuebin let go of his hands, which were covered in dust. "This won't work! We can't move it!"

Peng Gang was also sweating profusely. "Not enough people! We need to find more people!"

Across the road, a few people suddenly ran past, like a family, three men and a woman.

Dong Xuebin quickly said to them, "Hey! Come and help! Someone's buried here! We can't move it! Give us a hand!"

The family glanced at them, but ignored them and continued running.

"Damn!" Peng Gang and a few clerks couldn't help but curse. They wouldn't save someone in distress, what a bunch of things!

The woman covered her face in despair. "Da Wei!"

What to do?

What to do?

Dong Xuebin was anxious and angry, and immediately said, "Lao Peng, isn't our Police Station just two streets away?

You talk to Da Wei! I'll go find someone to help!"

Peng Gang said, "With such a big earthquake, everyone has gone to take refuge, there may not be anyone at the Police Station..."

"Don't worry about it, you talk to Da Wei, tell him to hold on a little longer!"

The roads were all blocked, with many vehicles and overturned tricycles occupying the street, and several collapsed buildings also blocked the way ahead, making it impossible to drive. Dong Xuebin's eyes quickly fell on a bicycle that someone had abandoned by the side of the road. Without saying a word, he rushed over, got on the bike, and rode away.

Faster!

He had to make it in time!

Because Guangming Street Office was the only one that had made earthquake preparedness arrangements in advance, and was also the only one besides Yan Tai County that had planned to evacuate the Common People in advance, there were hardly any people on the streets now. Most of the people had been transferred to safe places in the early morning and morning.

Dong Xuebin used almost all his strength to rush to the Police Station two streets away.
