Half an hour later.
At the foot of the mountain, the Rescue Team escorted the teachers and students down one by one.
This time, Dong Xuebin was not the first to come down. He stayed at the very end, making sure no children got lost in the poor visibility. All the way down, Dong Xuebin helped here and there, preventing several students and teachers from slipping and falling. But even so, he could not possibly look after a group of nearly a hundred people by himself. A few students still fell during the descent. The two most seriously injured had fractured a foot and a lower leg respectively. In the end, the medical personnel and stretchers Dong Xuebin had brought up from below carefully carried them down the mountain. They moved slowly, with rough terrain everywhere along the way.
"They're down!"
"Quick, get the ambulances over here!"
"Reporters, make way!"
"Stop interviewing for now! Let the injured come through first!"
"Don't forget to count heads! Count all the teachers, students, and Rescue Team members! Don't leave anyone behind! Once it gets dark, there'll be no way to find them!"
One...
Ten...
Fifty...
The area below was a chaotic mess of activity.
It was worth mentioning that Zhang Dongfang was also carried down on a stretcher.
Old Zhang truly could not go on anymore. He had already forced himself to climb the mountain at the halfway point, and nearly fell at the start of the descent. Several officials and Rescue Team members hurriedly supported him down. But before they had even gone halfway, when Dong Xuebin had come back up after sending the feverish student down the mountain, Zhang Dongfang was already being practically carried along with both feet off the ground. He looked completely exhausted, without an ounce of strength
