Chapter 309 Limited Space Rescue

Chapter 309 Limited Space Rescue

"What!?" Yan Qingwen's eyes widened.

Even Han Yue and Gu Ji were stunned when they heard the news, thinking they had heard wrongly.

Because Zou Lei is the leader of the search team and is responsible for dog searches and drone thermal imaging searches, while the rescue work is left to more professional rescuers like Wang Yuexi.

"What position!"

"Perot High School in Sutters County."

"Detachment Han, did you hear that? Take someone over immediately to have a look!"

"I'm taking people over now. Don't move around yet. Everyone should evacuate to a safe area as much as possible. The aftershocks may not be over yet!"

Yan Qingwen and Han Yue quickly asked about the situation on the intercom.

After Gu Ji received the location, he rushed there with Xiao Jian as soon as possible.

The sun has begun to set. Under the reflection of dusk, the middle school after the earthquake looks even more desolate. Bricks and rubble are scattered all over the ground. The outline around the playground is still clear, but the cheerful brains of the students are no longer there. Now there are only fragments. The walls are in ruins.

After Gu Ji arrived at the scene, many local Pakistani citizens gathered around the ruins of the teaching building. They were all worried about their children and kept surrounding them and refused to leave.

"This is my child, woo woo, thank you..."

"Marita, wake up, it's mom, wake up quickly!"

"Ma'am, please don't touch the child until we check and confirm the child's physical condition."

Fortunately, the rescue team has rescued many students.

They are being treated one by one by the medical team and transferred to the camp medical area for further treatment.

The rescue team and the arriving team members were all concentrated on the left side of the ruins. Everyone turned on the searchlights on their helmets, looked into a crack, and anxiously looked inside.

"Captain Zou! Are you okay?"

"It's okay, it's just that my waist is temporarily stuck and I can't move. You must not come in. It's very dangerous inside the crack!"

Facing the team members' inquiries, Zou Lei still warned everyone not to get close.

At this time, Han Yue also hurried over with his people, stared at the rescue team leader and shouted: "What's going on? Why is Zou Lei, a search team leader, getting into the crack? Is there no one in your rescue team?"

"Detachment Han, our captain is not to blame for this matter."

Before the captain of the rescue team could speak, a young man on the side explained: "At the beginning, we and Captain Zou had been cooperating with each other to rescue the children and search for the trapped compatriots. After discovering the female teacher, she was buried too deep. Deep, seriously injured, with two children still protected in his arms, he was stuck on the table, and the rescue was too difficult. We originally wanted to wait for the technical team to come over and use the cavity detector to draw a 3D composition before making any plans."

"But Captain Zou suddenly rushed into the crack to save people. Xiao Chen and I wanted to go in and pull him out, but Captain Zou refused to leave and kept holding the female teacher's hand. As a result, after the aftershocks occurred, …”

That’s it.

The rescue captain then answered: "I just found out that the trapped female teacher from Xia State, Zou Xiaoxin, is Zou Lei's biological sister."

"What did you say?"

Han Yue's eyes kept changing at this moment. While he was shocked, he seemed to think of some clues before setting off.

Gu Ji also reacted at this time.

No wonder Zou Lei always reacted so loudly when he mentioned words like "compatriots" and "rescuing people." Zou Lei kept staring at him. He probably wasn't angry that he jumped to the next level, but had more complicated emotions.

On the one hand, he was very grateful to Gu Ji for quickly leaving the landslide mountain road, rushing to the earthquake area to rescue people, and for his decision to split up halfway;

On the other hand, he also wanted to suggest the direction of rescue just like Gu Ji;

But as the leader of the search team of the Xiaguo International Rescue Team, Zou Lei must treat all trapped compatriots "equally" and cannot abandon the national mission and give priority to saving the people he wants to save, otherwise it will disrupt the entire team's efforts. action plan.

As the frontline commander of this rescue operation, Han Yue can naturally understand part of Zou Lei's mentality.

They were all transitioning from military status.

Everything is based on "obeying orders and saving people first" as the first element.

So Han Yue didn't say any nonsense and went directly to the crack, "Zou Lei, I am Han Yue. Don't worry, I will definitely rescue you. Now tell me your situation!"

"My waist was pinched, but as long as I could pry it open a little, I should be able to escape. But Zou Xiaoxin and her children were originally stuck under the desk. After the aftershock just now, their space for movement has become narrower, and only their heads can Zou Xiaoxin’s lower limbs were seriously injured.”

"Get the equipment quickly!"

After Han Yue understood the situation, he immediately called out the technical team and reported the situation to Yan Qingwen, allowing the geological expert team to work together to find a solution.

Because through this aftershock, he found that the school building was relatively fragile and could not directly use a crane to lift the floor. Because if a secondary collapse occurred during the move, Zou Lei, Zou Xiaoxin, and the children were buried underground. All must die.

Gu Ji was also thinking rapidly.

Obviously, this is a standard confined space rescue. In theory, there are two rescue methods: non-entry rescue or entry rescue.

The former is safer.

However, there are very high requirements for the trapped person's own equipment and the smoothness between his own location and the exit.

Obviously, Zou Lei's current state does not meet this point at all.

Entry rescue is a very risky rescue method. If you are not careful, you may be buried inside with the trapped people.

But after the void detector calculates all the spaces in the cracks.

Gu Ji quickly came up with a rescue plan in his mind, which had a certain success rate. "Detachment Han, the space inside the crack has not completely collapsed. I can bring tools to rescue people!"

"why is it you again?"

When Han Yue turned around and saw Gu Ji, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and said: "It's not enough for one search and rescue team member to be trapped inside, you want to be the second one? Go to work quickly, don't waste time!"

"Detachment Han, I can really do it."

Gu Ji naturally also knew that he was not very convincing at the moment, so he said: "The underground partially closed space in the limited space currently excludes poisoning, but there is a possibility of suffocation. We can arrange mechanical ventilation equipment at the crack entrance. Create natural wind to blow away the dust first and deliver clean air.”

"I tied a safety rope on my body, wore a dust mask, a jack, a hydraulic strut, a crowbar, and a cutting electric saw. I first used the jack to help Team Zou escape from under the rock slab, and then erected a hydraulic strut above Zou Xiaoxin and used a pry Sticks and cutting saws cut open tables and chairs and pulled people out!”

After hearing the first few sentences, Han Yue subconsciously dilated his pupils.

As the saying goes, "As soon as an expert takes action, he will know if something is wrong." This guy is absolutely professional. "Have you ever handled rescue work in a limited space operation accident?"

"Understand a little bit."

Gu Ji didn't say anything more. Speaking less at this time would make him appear more confident.

In fact, there is no doubt about his ability.

When it comes to earthquake rescue alone, he may not necessarily be as powerful as these rescue team members, but don’t forget that Gu Ji’s strength lies in his rich knowledge and experience. The four major areas of the game research system can form a linkage with each other. .

This rescue plan was derived by combining rescue cases and emergency response measures in the two fields of "natural disasters" and "accidents".

Han Yue frowned and glanced at the rescue team members beside him who were still thinking.

Thinking that this kid was really good at it, he decided: "Okay, let's follow your plan, but it must be done by two people at the same time. Wang Yuexi, you go in with Bian Shizhang. You only have 5 minutes. Director Yan just talked with Bafang The Earthquake Bureau has communicated that aftershocks are likely to come again. At 4 minutes and 50 seconds, no matter whether the rescue is successful or not, you must evacuate! Do you hear me?"

"clear!"

Gu Ji and Wang Yuexi replied in unison.

So the two quickly put safety ropes on their waists and got into the crack with crowbars, jacks, electric saws and other equipment.

The depth of the crack is about 5 meters, which is not a long distance.

But the internal space is too narrow. At the narrowest point, even people like "Bian Shizhang" and Wang Yuexi who exercise regularly have to throw the equipment over first and then lie down tightly on the ground to barely pass.

The suffocating feeling of the rock wall compressing your chest and ribs up and down, making you unable to breathe normally, is quite stressful, because you will always worry that if you can't pass, you will be stuck in place, unable to move forward, backward, or turn over.

Combined with the dark, dusty environment.

If you were a little claustrophobic, you would probably die where you are.

Don't underestimate this kind of environment. It's not uncommon for even professional cave explorers to get stuck in rock crevices and have to live in the dark with no light, food, or water, and finally wait to die.

Finally came to the inside.

Fortunately, the space inside is quite good. It is a triangular space structure that can barely accommodate three people.

"Xizi, you press the jack and save Captain Zou. I'll find a way to cut the wooden table."

"Okay, stay safe, Lao Zhang!"

Gu Ji and Wang Yuexi have collaborated many times, and they are relatively familiar with each other.

So, he took the tools and continued drilling inside.

After placing the hydraulic struts and fixing the bearing points, Gu Ji started cutting with an electric saw. A huge and harsh "buzzing" sound resounded in the narrow space and in the ears of several people. .

"Crash..."

As the wooden boards of the table were being cut, the floor slab on top began to make a loose sound, which scared Zou Xiaoxin and subconsciously exclaimed,

Perhaps she couldn't bear to see so many people accompanying her in danger, so she sobbed: "Brother, please leave quickly and leave us alone!"

"Xiaoxin, no matter what, I will not give up on you. I believe in my teammates, they will definitely be able to save us!"

In the darkness, Zou Lei held his sister's hand tightly, as if to convey reassurance to her.

Soon, Wang Yuexi used a jack to push up a thin crack in the floor above Zou Lei's waist, and this little space was enough for him to escape.

"1 minute and 30 seconds!"

At this time, Han Yue's shouts and his companions' whistles came from outside the crack.

Gu Ji made a prompt decision.

"Time is running out, Xizi, take Captain Zou and get out of here quickly!"

"Lao Zhang, but you..."

"Stop being so stubborn. Meet me at the entrance of the cave when the time comes. I will finish cutting the table soon!"

"yes!"

Wang Yuexi pulled Zou Lei out of the crack.

Zou Lei also knew that the situation was urgent at this time, "Xiao Xin, I'll wait for you at the exit!"

The moment the two people exited the crack, Gu Ji finally finished cutting the table board and pushed the board away with force. He finally saw Zou Xiaoxin and the two unconscious students buried underneath.

"45 seconds!"

"Quick! Pull the child out first!"

Zou Xiaoxin endured the severe pain in her lower limbs and pushed out the two children she was protecting.

Gu Ji couldn't help but be shocked by this woman he had never met before. From the way she screamed in fright due to the movement of the floor just now, it could be seen that Zou Xiaoxin was very afraid of death, but she still gave up her hope of survival to her students.

But Gu Ji knew that this was not the time to hold a commendation meeting and talk about touching people, so he grabbed the children by their collars and pushed them into the narrow crack, "Xizi! Pick up the child!"

"coming!"

Wang Yuexi shouted in response outside the narrow place, and when he saw the children, he pulled them out.

"30 seconds!"

"Second child!"

"I got it!"

Although Gu Ji and Wang Yuexi cooperated very quickly, the gap was too narrow. It was Zou Xiaoxin's turn. Adults are different from children.

The child is small in size and light in weight.

With just a little force, Gu Ji could push them into the narrow opening, allowing Wang Yuexi to reach out and pull them out. However, Zou Xiaoxin was too big, and his lower limbs were seriously injured and unable to move, so it was difficult for him to push.

Fortunately, Zou Xiaoxin can still move her hands.

After crawling and pushing, Gu Ji finally pushed her into the narrow opening.

But at this time, the floor at the top behind Gu Ji suddenly began to move, and the hydraulic struts also swayed from side to side.

"F-!"

"The aftershocks are coming! Retreat quickly! Hurry!"

At this time, Han Yue's shouts and sharp warning whistles suddenly sounded outside.

Wang Yuexi shouted anxiously in the narrow mouth: "Lao Zhang! Bian Shizhang!"

"Climb quickly! Hurry!"

Gu Ji didn't care about the pain in Zou Xiaoxin's lower limbs. He grabbed her legs and pushed her forward desperately. After Wang Yuexi pulled her out.

Han Yue's shouts came from outside again: "Pull the safety rope as hard as you can! Wang Yuexi! Bian Shizhang! Come out right away!"

"Lao Zhang! Give me your hand!"

"Xiko!! Let's go!"

"Give me your hands!!"

In the darkness, Wang Yuexi's hand was shaking desperately at the narrow opening. Gu Ji grabbed his hand, but at that moment, "Boom!"

The hydraulic strut collapsed instantly, and the entire ruins suddenly came down!

…

"Rumble..."

"Do you all remember the mission process of this operation?"

"remember!!"

"Dear leaders and comrades of Xiaguo International Rescue Team: The plane has landed at Lahore International Airport..."

"Huha! Let's go!!"

Gu Ji yelled loudly, but the moment he opened his eyes, the darkness, oppression, suffocation, and severe pain all disappeared.

Instead, everyone in the passenger cabin looked at him with extremely surprised eyes.

Sorry, I was too tired from hiking last night, so I wrote it wrong in the end. When I checked tonight, I found that I had written the wrong name and it had been changed to Zou Lei.
