Chapter 307 Saving Compatriots

【Please choose your reward! 】

[Climbing Specialization (Large)] or [Geological Disaster Rescue Specialization (Large)]

"call……"

The moment he saw the mission was successful, Gu Ji finally breathed a sigh of relief. The green tent in front of him should be the temporary command center set up by the Pakistani government and military forces in the earthquake area.

What was before him now was how to choose the rewards for the game.

Yellow [Climbing Specialization (Large)]: Improves unarmed climbing ability by 41%, finger strength by 38%, foothold holding ability by 34%, and body center of gravity control ability by 37%;

Yellow [Geological Disaster Rescue Specialization (Large)]: Improve geological disaster emergency rescue knowledge by 43%, rescue mechanism formulation by 37%, improve earthquake, subsidence, landslide and other disaster rescue skills by 45%, and improve rapid response when geological disasters occur by 45% The ability to respond to self-rescue.

Compared with blue marks, yellow marks have at least 4 bonus entries.

Both marks play a very important role in this level, but one is more focused on strengthening and improving one's own abilities, while the other is more focused on macro command and is suitable for implementation by cooperating personnel.

Gu Ji thought for a moment.

Although this level is positioned at the national level, in theory, it should focus more on the macro command of the government and the military, but in actual operation, it is still different from the Indian floods and South Korea's MERS.

Because his identity is not a Pakistani official, but a member of the Xiaguo International Rescue Team serving as humanitarian aid, it is difficult for him to speak from policy formulation to command.

Secondly, in order to better complete this rescue operation.

The country has also dispatched geological experts from the Earthquake Bureau, and the aftershocks and landslides just now are enough to prove their capabilities. Unlike India and South Korea, there are too many selfish fools.

But in the end, Gu Ji chose the second one.

What he mainly values ​​​​is the last two entries, both of which strengthen his self-rescue ability and reaction ability in earthquakes, which can greatly improve the survival rate.

Gu Ji finally understood.

This major earthquake in Pakistan is extremely dangerous. If you are not careful, you may be buried in the rubble. He must survive as much as possible in order to collect more information.

Yellow light falls on the lower right corner.

Gu Ji started brainstorming again in his mind, and countless fragments of knowledge were being stored in the inner temporal lobe of his brain, a part called the hippocampus, turning into his instincts.

"I see……"

He raised his head and looked at the ruined earthquake area in front of him, and many new rescue ideas suddenly came to mind.

[New goal: Determine the situation of Xiaguo compatriots in the earthquake area, work hard to rescue the trapped people, and the number of deaths must not exceed 3! 】

Seeing this task, Gu Ji's nerves couldn't help but become tense again.

He immediately took out the action flow sheet in his pocket, and in the column to confirm the situation of the Xia country compatriots, he found the people who might be trapped in the earthquake in Pakistan.

There are mainly 84 engineers, power workers and family members of Xiazi Electric Power Construction Company, 32 Xiaguo employees from various joint ventures, companies, schools, etc., and 8 tourists from Xiaguo, a total of 124 people.

The current location of these 124 people is in the center or edge of the earthquake zone.

Since communication base stations and other equipment were damaged by the earthquake, Xia's embassy in Pakistan is now unable to contact them at all, so it can only confirm one by one through the rescue team.

That is to say.

In an earthquake zone full of dangers, we need to confirm the current situation of 124 people and rescue those trapped in the earthquake, and the death toll cannot exceed 3...

The difficulty is simply off the charts.

While Gu Ji was thinking about how to complete the task, the Saudi transport truck had already arrived in front of the camp.

Two Pakistani officials and a military officer came out to greet him.

Han Yue immediately reported the situation that they were hit by aftershocks and landslides to the Pakistani side and requested additional support.

But what I didn't expect was.

A Pakistani government official with a big belly and gray curly hair looked embarrassed, "I'm very sorry, Captain Han, Xia Fang has always been our most important friend. It's not that we don't want to help, but we really don't have the ability. The current earthquake zone commander The Ministry's vehicles, supplies and equipment are all in serious shortage, and we simply..."

"I understand your difficulties, and we at Xia Fang also deeply sympathize with this accident."

Han Yue can understand Pakistan's current situation.

It can be seen from the temporary shelters set up around the headquarters. The moans, screams, and quarrels were shouted every second without stopping for a moment, which is enough to illustrate how horrific the number of victims of this earthquake was.

Then, he changed the subject.

"However, Director Yan of the Emergency Rescue Department who is responsible for leading the team this time, as well as a lot of professional equipment and supplies, are on the plain. We must bring them here as soon as possible. Your headquarters should have military communications to contact us, right?"

What Han Yue said was very knowledgeable.

First, he expressed that he didn't mind and provided emotional comfort to the Pakistani side. First, the "height" was raised. Second, experts, materials and equipment were tied to the Pakistani side.

Don’t you need people and materials?

We have!

As long as you provide military communications.

Because all the communication base stations in the earthquake area and the aftershock area have been basically destroyed, the only means of communication is military satellite communication.

Seeing that Han Yue was talking about this, the curly-haired official led him and the captain of the Saudi rescue team into the headquarters.

The rescue team members were left to look around the camp.

"This earthquake is really serious..."

"Yeah, I really hope our compatriots will be fine."

In the camp, the wounded injured by the earthquake were carried on stretchers to the medical area. Since the tent was already crowded with wounded, the remaining people had no choice but to be placed outside and covered with blankets.

One of them, a six or seven-year-old Pakistani boy, had his head smashed, and blood continued to flow down his forehead, even blurring his eyes. However, he could only cover the wound, sit on the ground and cry loudly.

A female nurse on the medical team couldn't stand it anymore.

Because no matter which country we are in, the elderly and children are always the ones who need the highest priority for rescue.

"Why didn't anyone come over to help him with his wounds?"

The female nurse shouted twice in succession, but was soon drowned out by all kinds of screams and cries, and no one paid any attention to her. She had no choice but to walk to the child.

While taking out sterilized iodine and gauze from the medical kit he carried with him, he asked in English: "Child, where are your parents and family?"

"Woooo, I, I don't know, the house suddenly started shaking, my mother threw me down, and then I fell asleep. When I woke up, I was brought here by an uncle with a red hat..."

The little boy sobbed while wiping his tears.

When everyone heard this, they sighed. If the rescue team only found this child, it would mean that basically all of his parents and family had died in the earthquake.

Just when everyone felt sorry for the little boy.

Suddenly, Gu Ji discovered that not far from the little boy, a middle-aged Pakistani man suddenly began to cough violently and kept touching his throat, as if he was stuck with something and couldn't breathe.

"Save, save..."

He kept scratching his throat, even drawing bloodshot threads, his lips began to turn purple, and his face turned red from holding back.

As soon as Gu Ji took a look, he knew that he was lacking oxygen.

He quickly rushed to the injured person's side and asked him to open his mouth, but did not find any foreign objects.

At this time, the middle-aged man was out of breath and unconscious. He leaned over and fell into a coma.

Gu Ji tore his shirt open and found no obvious trauma. He only saw a purple and blue mark on the side of the chest, which seemed to be caused by compression. The patient's chest was also expanded unusually full, as if Like a full balloon.

It’s tension pneumothorax caused by lung damage!

The medical first aid knowledge in his mind allowed Gu Ji to make a quick judgment.

Tension pneumothorax is the most serious type of pneumothorax. Gas will be inhaled into the chest cavity and accumulate, causing the pleural cavity to be affected, resulting in inability to breathe and death from suffocation.

The treatment method is also very simple, just puncture the pleural membrane for decompression.

So, he ran to the female nurse who was treating the child, found a syringe from the medical box, pulled out the push rod, turned around and stabbed it in the mid-axillary line of the 7th intercostal space of the man's side of the chest.

"Hey! What are you doing!"

"It's a tension pneumothorax. I'm doing a thoracentesis on him."

"Tension... Hey! Aren't you from the search and rescue team?"

The female nurse was bandaging the child's head when she saw a figure running over. She didn't even see who it was until Gu Jiyi stuck a needle on the injured person and realized that he was not from the medical team.

"Don't worry about me, he will die if he doesn't get punctured!"

"But if you stab someone randomly, you will hurt him..."

"Xiaoqin, his position is correct."

The female nurse was about to speak to stop Gu Ji, but at this moment, another person's voice came from behind. She came to Gu Ji's side and said, "Leave it to me to handle the rest."

"Bah!"

After the needle made a sound similar to air leakage, Gu Ji turned his head when he saw the middle-aged man's chest gradually shrinking and breathing resumed.

A fair-skinned female doctor was squatting next to him. She was twenty-six or seventeen years old, with big bright eyes and delicate facial features. She looked somewhat familiar.

It was the female nurse from the Armed Police Hospital that he had rescued on the hillside before.

Gu Ji glanced at her badge, which read "Ying Wanyu".

"I was scared on the hillside just now. Later, you were leading the team and never found a chance. Thank you for saving my life."

"You're welcome, it's easy."

For professional medical staff, thoracentesis is one of the compulsory courses, let alone the first responders sent by the Armed Police Hospital, so Gu Ji let go and left it to her.

As for saving people, he didn't care at all.

Not to mention that Wang Yuexi and Ying Wanyu are his teammates themselves. Even if they are strangers, as long as something happens in front of him, he will reach out to save them if he can.

"Awesome! Lao Zhang, I didn't expect you to have medical skills!"

"I learned it in first aid training in the army. It's nothing."

After returning to the team, facing Wang Yuexi's exclamation, Gu Ji casually found an excuse to excuse himself, "Looking at these Pakistani wounded, I began to worry about our compatriots, and I don't know how the Korean detachment is doing... …”

When he said this, the search team leader Zou Lei looked at him again.

However, Han Yue also came out of the camp at exactly this time.

Before he could reach the front, the rescue team members gathered around and asked how the situation was, when Director Yan and the others would join us, when they would start searching for compatriots and rescue them, etc...

Han Yue stretched out his hand to signal everyone to be quiet.

Then he said: "I have used military satellite communication to contact the military garrison at Lahore Airport. In 12 minutes, the Russian international rescue team will land. I provided the coordinates of Director Yan's location, and they agreed to come." Bring your people and equipment and join us!”

"Great, Team Han, what should we do next? Wait for them here?"

Han Yue raised his wrist and glanced at his watch, "It has been 2 hours and 23 minutes since we landed. The Xia country compatriots are still waiting for us. Everyone will prepare immediately and set off immediately to rush to the disaster site."

"yes!"

Since the Saudi transport vehicle still needed to return to pick up other team members, Gu Ji and the others returned to walking on foot again.

Fortunately, we are all soldiers in the engineering corps and are used to hardships during training.

No one has any complaints.

On the march, Han Yue unfolded the map and kept thinking about where to go first.

The second earthquake zone occurred in Sutes, a county outside the Lahore metropolitan area. Many scattered villages and towns were also affected, because the compatriots were trapped in different locations, ranging from hundreds of meters apart. The far distance is seven or eight kilometers apart, and the road in the middle is severely damaged. It takes at least an hour or two to get back and forth.

So he has to make a choice.

In the end, Han Yue chose to rush to Sutes North District first.

The reason is that the main earthquake point in the earthquake area is here, and the shops and schools nearby are the most seriously damaged places. Once compatriots are trapped, they will definitely be the most dangerous.

On the road.

All kinds of screams and cries never stopped. Helicopters in the sky flew overhead one after another. Almost all the houses in the city collapsed and turned into ruins. The cement smoke and dust were scattered in the air. Like a heavy fog rising in the morning.

Some Pakistani residents who survived climbed on the rubble, desperately picking up cement bricks, trying to rescue the people buried underground, while some people sat on the ground and cried bitterly, holding the bodies of their rescued companions. Others were kneeling on the ground, begging passers-by to help save people.

It was as if this city had been completely shrouded in pain.

Fifteen minutes later, Gu Ji and the others finally climbed out of the ruins to the North District. Since this was the core of the earthquake area, the damage was even more serious. None of the buildings on both sides of the street were standing, and the cracks on the ground were even bigger than a car. Cars are even wider.

Looking at the rubble slope in front of them, which has turned into ruins, several Pakistani victims seemed to be wandering ghosts, walking back and forth aimlessly in the vicinity.

One of the women raised her arms as if she was holding something, but there was nothing in her arms.

Han Yue wanted to ask about the location.

But she kept mumbling her name or something, and ignored the outsiders at all. Helpless, Han Yue could only open the map and confirm again and again that the location of the trapped compatriots was nearby.

"Search team, rescue team, bring shovels, crowbars, jacks, get ready to start the rescue!"

"Han Detachment..."

Just when Han Yue just gave the order, one of the rescue team members suddenly said, "Didn't Director Yan ask us to observe first and wait for the expert team to arrive before taking action? It's so rash..."

"It's too late. We can wait, but the trapped compatriots cannot wait. Saving lives is the first priority. Follow my orders and rescue first. If you find any situation, you must report it to me. I will bear all the responsibilities!"

"yes!!"
