Chapter 161 New Goal
One hour is a long time for these victims.
But at least there is a substantive goal.
Everyone took out their mobile phones and carefully counted the time while following Gu Ji's command and moving towards the front of the train.
Because the train carriages were fully loaded, and a No. 2 carriage was vacated as a concentration point for the injured, and now five more carriages were vacated for victims, the train suddenly became crowded.
But the most terrible thing is the leakage in the carriage.
Even though Gu Ji asked the conductor to close the tunnel doors of the 55 carriages, the train is not a closed space after all, and it is impossible to have such good air tightness.
Floodwater can still seep in through cracks in doors, including those broken windows that were repaired before, and the bathroom vents.
The water level was rising quietly, starting from the 54th carriage, and soon it reached from the chest to the neck.
Gu Ji had no choice.
Just as the medical staff were unable to save two of the victims who drowned, in the sudden crisis just now, more than 30 people died in the mission progress bar. Of course, the scope of the mission is not only within the train, but also in the train. The floods hit dispur and Guwahati and other coastal towns and villages that were submerged.
He could only delay time by urging the crowd to continue moving toward the front of the train.
But the space of the train is limited. In order to ensure enough breathing space for everyone, it can only be compressed to about thirty-five carriages at most. The surroundings are crowded like ants, and the water level is getting higher and higher. In order to avoid being submerged in the water, some people stepped directly on the seats, grabbed the luggage racks on both sides of the train, and stretched their necks high to obtain sufficient oxygen.
Listening to the roaring floodwaters outside the train and the pounding sound of heavy rain, the victims could only rely on their mobile phones to distract themselves from the panic. However, due to poor network signal, most people only looked at photos for comfort instead of Refugees on mobile phones can only hug their families and cry secretly.
Gu Ji also follows the government's movements through his mobile phone.
I finally logged into Little Blue Bird, and sure enough I found the hot topic of "Indian Floods" in the search. The most discussed topic was a message posted by Indian Prime Minister Dieter 20 minutes ago:
"The Indian government has been paying close attention to the situation in Assam and is in contact with local government senior officials to obtain the latest information on rescue efforts. We have deployed 16 additional army teams, 28 naval teams, and 33 NDRF teams. A total of more than 1,000 people from India's National Disaster Response Force flew to Assam by transport plane to assess the situation and help with evacuation. Currently, more than 400,000 residents have been moved to safe areas such as disaster relief centers. The central government will provide homeless people with a period of 4,000 rupees per month for 6 months, the cabinet government will always stand with the residents of Assam and pray for everyone there!”
There are nearly 3,000 comments from foreign netizens at the bottom.
[The real disaster situation in India is far more serious than officially announced! 】
[Pray for the people of Assam! 】
[It is better to wait for the floods to recede than to wait for the government to rescue them. Flood disasters often occur in Assam. Doesn’t the government know how to prepare in advance? 】
[The dams in India are really as bad as tofu! 】
[Although I am not in India, to be honest, the response of the central government was really fast this time. Emergency response was launched within an hour of the flood. This is very rare in disaster management in previous years! 】
[Don’t read the official version. What the victims posted is the most authentic. There is a government official named Vidi Daly. He is the real hero who truly saves the victims! 】
Most of the comments criticized the government's inability to do things well. It's no wonder that the cabinet secretary "warned" him.
However, Gu Ji's main concern is the government's rescue work.
Judging from the words, the senior cabinet officials still listened to his suggestion. 1,000 rescue workers and 400 boats were enough to safely evacuate more than 10,000 victims within 20 minutes.
"Hydra! What's wrong with you, Hydra! Wake up!"
"Oh my God!"
Just as Gu Ji was deep in thought, a sudden commotion broke out in the crowd. He quickly turned his head and saw a young boy who had passed out. "Get out of the way! Don't surround him!"
He urged the nearby victims, quickly pushed through, first touched the common carotid artery, and then pulled out the boy's eyelids.
"He's suffering from hypoxia, take him to the bathroom in the passageway quickly!"
"Everyone give way!"
Fatima also shouted from the side.
The crowd tried to stay back and make way for a path.
There is an exhaust vent in the bathroom in the passage, which is the only place in the carriage where you can breathe the air outside the train. Sure enough, Gu Ji carried the boy to the bathroom. He took a sharp breath, coughed twice, and finally woke up.
"Great, thank you, distinguished Mr. Vidi!"
The boy's mother was so excited that she wiped tears from her eyes.
But Fatima pulled Gu Ji aside.
"Vidi, the water level is rising higher and higher now. There are too many victims in the carriage, and the oxygen is obviously not enough, especially for the shorter people. Do you want to open the exhaust vent and let them climb outside the carriage and wait?"
"It's possible, but the risk is too great. It's been raining outside, and the roof of the car is very slippery. There's no support. If you accidentally fall down, you won't be able to be rescued in time in the fast floods, and the person will be swept away." ”
That's what he said, but Gu Ji didn't just deal with it.
He took out his walkie-talkie and asked the soldiers to gather all the old and weak people in the train to the passage. In this way, they could not only get relatively sufficient oxygen, but also be the first to be rescued before the government rescue arrived.
Although some people complained.
But if you put yourself in someone else's shoes, if these people were your own parents or children, you would be able to understand Gu Ji's command.
Time passed by minute by minute.
The period of waiting for rescue was undoubtedly the most painful 60 minutes of their lives for all the victims. Due to rising water levels in the carriages, all electronic equipment failed and the entire train fell into darkness. Many people took out their mobile phones. , turned on the flash, but due to the rush of government transfers, many people had no time to charge.
One after another, the mobile phones ran out of power, just like the hopes in people's hearts, shattered one by one.
More and more people began to be afraid, and many Hindu believers began to spontaneously clasp their hands and recite scriptures silently, praying, crying, and complaining. The whole train seemed to have completely fallen into a negative abyss of misery and despair.
Even Fatima closed her eyes and leaned tightly on Gu Ji's shoulder.
Forty minutes later, he flapped his ears slightly and vaguely heard a low, rumbling vibration.
In the crowd, a tall Indian uncle suddenly raised his head.
"What sound! Is it another flood?"
"Oh my god! Are we really going to die here!"
"God Shiva, please save us suffering believers..."
Just when everyone was worried, Gu Ji saw through the telescope a series of red and white lights flashing rhythmically in the sky. Those were navigation lights and landing lights!
Gu Ji's pupils dilated instantly and he couldn't help shouting at the top of his lungs:
"It's not a flood! It's a plane! It's a plane supported by the government! Everyone, hold on for another fifteen minutes! You must hold on!"
"airplane?"
"Oh my God! The government is finally here to save us!"
"UuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuThe rescue is coming! Everyone must hold on! Mr. Vidi said it's the last fifteen minutes!!"
"Ahhh! Someone will come to save us soon!"
…
In an instant, a shocking roar erupted in the train, and all the victims were very excited. Nothing was more exciting than this news. In the blink of an eye, the originally lifeless carriage was filled with hope of survival. Even though the water level had risen to the neck, everyone still did not give up.
Fatima also grabbed Gu Ji's arm in excitement. It wasn't until he turned around that she realized that she had gone too far. She hurriedly let go and could only change the subject awkwardly.
"Vidi, thanks to your efforts this time, everyone can survive!"
"Don't speak too early. Everything is unknown until it actually lands. Inform all soldiers, train crew members, and government officials to be on standby at the entrance of the tunnel, ready to cooperate with the rescue forces in the retreat at any time!"
"good!"
Fatima is also full of fighting spirit.
In a previous phone call, the cabinet secretary stated that the transport would land at the Dibrugarh Airport. Gu Ji asked the soldiers that this is a dual-use airport, located not far from the disaster evacuation center, about 5 kilometers away.
After the plane lands, as long as the 1,000 rescue team can organize the rubber boats as soon as possible, they can hope to arrive near the train within 15 minutes.
as expected.
Gu Ji's prediction was correct. About fifteen minutes later, someone shouted "There is light" first. Then, in the dark wild rapids in the distance, countless white light sources appeared. It was the boat prepared by the central government. rescue force.
"Look! There is light ahead! Someone is coming to save us!"
"Everyone, don't mess up! You must obey the command!"
"Don't be messy! Stay strong and don't waste the oxygen in the car!"
"Let the elderly and the weak go first! After the car door opens, don't be afraid when you see the torrent coming in. Hold on to the seats and armrests next to you, and take pictures of your team. As long as you follow the arrangements, everyone will be saved!"
Facing the cheers in the carriage, Gu Ji shouted desperately to remind everyone.
Finally, the boat troop arrived in front of the train.
Everything was just as he proposed in the satellite communication before. The rubber rescue boats were divided into two sizes. The large boat was equipped with three rescuers, and the small boat was equipped with two.
Four hundred rescue boats were scattered around both ends of the train, forming three rows.
After communicating with the rescuers, Gu Ji picked up the walkie-talkie and took a deep breath.
"Everyone, get ready, open the door!"
Click!
The soldiers opened the door of the train that ran through the passage. There was a crash, and the floodwater poured into the carriage faster. Fortunately, he had already reminded the victims to pay attention to safety. Faced with the sudden influx of torrent, although everyone panicked, they remained in formation. There was no chaos.
The disaster response force already guarding the door was also taking the initiative to pull the people in the train onto the ship. Once the train was full, it immediately drove away and was replaced by the second row to continue the rescue.
And at the moment when the first victim ordered the car door to be opened.
The unique prompt text of the game suddenly appeared in front of my eyes.
[Goal: Successfully control the death toll within 400 before the central government comes to assist! 】
【Please choose your reward! 】
[Tropical Low Pressure Forecast Information*1] or [Explosion Specialization (Medium)! 】
While Gu Ji urged the victims to move forward quickly, he secretly looked at the game information in front of him. He really couldn't figure out why a natural disaster level had tactical marks.
Blue [Tropical Low Pressure Forecast Information*1]: The INMAC Naval Meteorological Analysis Center of India’s Southern Naval Command uses radar vertical wind profilers, atmospheric transmittance meters, cloud power meters and automatic meteorological observation systems to provide forecasts of tropical low pressure in the Bay of Bengal. Gas movement prediction; believe me, this is important information.
Blue [Explosion Specialization (Medium)]: Improve the level of contact and non-contact blasting operations by 31.8%, improve the accuracy of blasting control by 27%, and improve the blasting environment analysis ability by 31%.
Is a piece of weather information worth a blue rating?
Gu Ji was a little confused at first, but thinking about the weather war waged by the United States against Vietnam and the flood disaster in Assam, he quickly understood.
Before this goal was completed, the sudden flood took away a total of 87 lives.
This is the result of Gu Ji's hard work to pass through two rounds of checkpoints. If he hadn't forced the state government and the Indian central cabinet government to send out rescue, hundreds of people might have died!
This shows the horror of meteorological disasters.
A large tropical depression affects not just a city, a province, or even several countries. It is related to the life safety of billions of people, so it is understandable to classify it as blue.
After pondering for a moment and considering the follow-up tasks, he finally chose Reward One.
The blue light flashed and floated to the upper right corner of Gu Ji's sight, turning into a small map mark.
[New goal: gain the trust of the central cabinet government. 】
Like the drone in the bomb level, he can read it with his mind at any time, but it is not the time to analyze yet. As the train door opens, floodwater pours in quickly, and there is less and less air in the carriage. Gu Ji must Standing on a chair and putting your feet up, you can put your mouth to the roof of the car to breathe the remaining air. Fortunately, most of the victims in the car have been rescued.
Seeing that the water was about to completely submerge the train, he tried his best and finally shouted "hold your breath" to Fatima, then took a deep breath of oxygen and sank into the water.
In the turbid flood, Gu Ji pulled Fatima and pushed the edge of the door while passing through the main entrance.
Rescuers were seen reaching deep into the water to extend the rescue pole, allowing Fatima to grab onto the pole.
Wow!
"Huhehehe..."
Fatima panted heavily and turned around to look for Gu Ji. Unexpectedly, Gu Ji had already swam to the side of the rescue boat, grabbed the rubber handrail and climbed up.
"Is there anyone who's not on board?"
"Anyone else?"
The rescuers held strong flashlights and shouted, but the only response they received was the rushing water and the splashing water from the rain.
And just then.
"careful!"
I'm driving back to my hometown on the 13th. The update may be delayed in the past two days. I only have a basic word count because it involves purchasing new year's goods. I need to drive 16 hours on the way home because the tram has to be charged. It's really hard...
