Chapter 313 Save Point
After receiving the game prompt.
Gu Ji didn't have time to think about it, and ran out with the unconscious Xia country compatriot on his back.
【Please choose your reward! 】
[Level Archive*1] or [Cave Exploration Specialization (Large)]
Looking at the game text floating in front of me.
Gu Ji couldn't help but shrink his pupils.
This was the first time he saw reward options other than marks and items.
Yellow [Level Archive*2]: The player can save the current game node twice in real time during the level and create two readable archives. When the player dies or the game is interrupted due to irresistible factors, he can choose to start from a certain archive point. Continue playing and the number of death rollbacks will not be counted.
Yellow [Cave Exploration Specialization (Large)]: Improves cave traversing ability by 42%, improves vision ability in dark light environments by 37%, improves physical activity skills in narrow spaces by 39%, and shortens cave exploration thinking speed by 49%.
Since the second round of system selection after the mission was completed did not produce any good rewards, Gu Ji could only choose the most relevant [speed increase (large)] at that time. After all, earthquake rescue requires some physical reaction. Ability, especially in times of danger.
It’s hard to find good options now.
Obviously, the second reward is very practical in this level.
Not to mention traveling through some mines, tunnels or underground wells, just getting into the cracks of ruins to save people would be a huge improvement for him.
But Gu Ji was still attracted by the first option.
The game can be archived, which means that once he dies, he does not need to start over from the beginning. This not only saves time, but also avoids mental consumption.
More importantly, no level rewards will be deducted for reading archives.
In this way, Gu Ji can be bolder and use the file loading mechanism to take countermeasures that are riskier but also more profitable.
Just when Gu Ji was confused about which of the two was the best solution.
Suddenly, a circle of red light flashed around his field of vision, and then a line of unique white text appeared above it.
[A strong aftershock is about to occur in the current area, with an estimated magnitude of 6.3 and an estimated time of 15 seconds...]
【14, 13...】
What! ?
The geological early warning monitoring system obtained in the initial reward selection was used twice by Gu Ji on the mountain road and the school map, and this is the last time.
"The magnitude 6.3 is just an aftershock. This earthquake is too scary..."
Looking at the constantly beating white countdown, it seems like a sinister force from the underworld is pronouncing your death time.
Thinking of this, Gu Ji decisively chose [Level Archive].
Considering that the earthquake level is full of uncertainties such as "aftershocks", after losing the magical sensory skills such as [Geological Activity Early Warning System], he must find a new life-saving talisman to increase his error tolerance.
[The ultimate goal: to ensure the successful completion of the 5.8 Pakistan earthquake rescue operation and to maximize the evaluation of the Xiaguo International Rescue Team in the international media. 】
[Branch goal: Exploring the pattern of aftershock activity in seismic zones. 】
No time to go into detail.
After running to the central area of the factory, Gu Jijian saw that there were still about five seconds left.
Then he yelled at the rescuers around him: "My rescue dog feels like there is a vibration. Everyone, please leave the factory quickly! Hurry!!"
"Really or not, why didn't I hear it?"
"Rescue dogs have much better ears than humans, so hurry up!"
"Everyone, retreat quickly!"
At first, some people were slightly skeptical and wanted to hear the news.
It wasn't until Han Yue gave the order that everyone stopped what they were doing and quickly fled outside.
"Has everyone evacuated? Search team, rescue team, check the team members immediately..."
Running to the edge of the factory, Han Yue began to slow down and turned to look at the surrounding team members.
At this time, a medical nurse hurried over and shouted with a hint of tears: "Han Detachment! Ying Wanyu just rushed in to rescue the members of the technical detachment, but they haven't come out yet."
"What!?"
"I have rescue dogs, I go find them!"
Han Yue just screamed in shock, Gu Ji decisively chose to establish the current time node as the first save point, then left the Xia country compatriot on his back, and rushed into the factory full of poisonous gas with Xiao Jian.
"I'll go too!" Wang Yuexi raised his hand for the second time, and chased after Han Yue without waiting for Han Yue's consent.
The countdown to aftershocks is approaching its final second.
"Rumble..."
A low sound seemed to come up from the ground, making people feel uncomfortable all over. In the blink of an eye, there was shaking under Gu Ji's feet, as if he had stepped on cotton, and the surrounding pipes made a "creak" at the same time. The sound of teeth grinding.
Fortunately, after experiencing many aftershocks personally.
Gu Ji's fear, both psychological and physical, has weakened a lot. Coupled with the speed mark he just obtained, the focus is on improving his running speed.
"Xiao Jian! Hurry, it's all up to you!"
"Woof! Woof!"
At this moment, as the aftershocks broke out, the surrounding storage tanks deformed more seriously, and the leaking gas also spurted out in columnar shapes. There was a large amount of gas in the sight of the gas mask.
At this time, if you want to find people in the shortest time, you can only rely on the rescue dog's incredible sense of smell.
Fortunately, Xiao Jian did not disappoint him.
After only two urgings, it understood the meaning, paused for half a second at the fork in the road, and then turned towards the main valve control room. It must have discovered the human target from the air full of poisonous gas.
Not long after Gu Jigang turned in, he saw two figures in front of him.
It was Ying Wanyu from the medical team who was supporting a slightly unconscious technician, coughing, and struggling to escape.
After seeing the rescue dog.
Ying Wanyu looked up, and her maroon pupils suddenly shrank against the sight of Gu Ji, who was running from the poisonous gas.
"You guys..."
"It's too late to say anything, give it to me!"
"Lao Zhang! Carry them all on your back!"
As soon as Gu Ji finished his words, he didn't expect Wang Yuexi's shout to come from behind him. He didn't expect that this kid would follow him. He was really not afraid of death.
In fact, this was one of the reasons why he decided to rush in and save people without even thinking about it.
To be honest, the selfless dedication of the rescue team really influenced Gu Ji, making him gradually regard these people as his real teammates.
On the other hand, it is the game mission requirements.
He has not yet conducted an in-depth analysis, but the "ensure the successful completion of the rescue operation" is most likely to avoid casualties as much as possible.
In addition, Gu Ji has the magical skill of [Level Archive].
Even if he is really in danger, he still has a second chance to come back.
So, Wang Yuexi carried the unconscious technician on his back, while Gu Ji lifted Ying Wanyu, who was coughing violently, from behind.
"Hurry up!"
Gu Ji's eyes flashed, his face was as dark as water, his legs were tense, his calf gastrocnemius kicked the ground with force, and he rushed out in an instant, at an astonishing speed.
At this point they were arranged in a triangle formation.
Xiao Jian was at the front, acting as the leader, and Gu Ji and Wang Yuexi followed closely behind. When they reached the central area of the factory, the aftershocks completely erupted, and cracks began to appear on the ground, making it extremely difficult for people to stand firm on them.
"Creak!"
Suddenly, one of the nearby pipes was completely twisted and broken. Metal debris flew everywhere, hitting the surrounding storage tanks, and even sparked.
In an instant, Gu Ji's heart "thumped" and he flew directly to the nearest pile of rubble, "Xizi, get down quickly!!"
This voice.
He shouted not only to Xiao Jian, but also to Wang Yuexi beside him.
The next second, sparks fell on the sprayed chemical gas, and the air exploded instantly, as if a flash bomb exploded in front of your eyes, delayed by a few milliseconds...
“Boom—!”
The storage tanks and pipelines exploded completely. The deafening explosions and shock waves swept across the sky and hit the debris like cannonballs. The stone slabs shattered and smoke rose three meters high.
"Xiao Jian! Xizi!!"
Gu Ji, who was hiding behind the ruins, shook his head. Before the tinnitus caused by the explosion could recover, he desperately called out to the dog and teammates lying next to him, and then ran out as if running for his life.
"It's on! It's all on fire!!"
"Don't look back! Run!!"
Without Wang Yuexi's reminder, Gu Ji could detect the heat wave coming from behind him. It must have been the explosion of flammable gas just now, which ignited the liquefied petroleum gas, so that the entire factory became a sea of fire.
Even Ying Wanyu on the back was so frightened that she clung to his body like an octopus.
The scorching heat wave in the air gradually softened the gas mask on Gu Ji's face. Seeing the flames surrounding both sides, Wang Yuexi became more and more anxious, "Lao Zhang! The fire is catching up!!"
But Gu Ji still said the same thing, "Don't look back! Run!"
"Fuck, fight!" Wang Yuexi gritted his teeth, closed his eyes and rushed towards the sea of fire with all his strength. Suddenly, a gust of cool wind hit him.
The two opened their eyes.
I saw stiff rescue team members standing around, including Zou Lei who was being pulled and stopped by others, and Han Yue who looked shocked.
"you……"
"Ah!! Thank God! You finally came out!"
"Very good!!"
Seeing that Gu Ji and the others had actually escaped from the factory alive, the rescue team suddenly burst into fierce cheers, even overwhelming the aftershocks and factory explosions.
"Han Detachment..."
"It'll be great if you can come out!"
Han Yue gently patted Gu Ji and Wang Yuexi on the shoulders. It could be seen from their slightly red eyes that he probably thought that they could not escape.
Gu Ji was the first to look at Xiao Jian.
If it weren't for Gouzi's search and guidance, he would probably have to go inside.
Fortunately, Xiao Jian was not injured. He was just shaking his head like a helicopter because of tinnitus, looking silly.
After heaving a sigh of relief, he looked at Wang Yuexi and Ying Wanyu.
Thanks to Gu Ji's timely reminder, they were all safe and sound. Only after the technicians were revived by the medical staff did everyone find out.
It turned out that he wanted to try to close the main valve to reduce the emission of toxic gases from the factory.
But because all the electronic equipment was damaged in the earthquake, they could only turn the mechanical valve, and the latter turned too many times. Before it could be closed, the technicians were confused by the poisonous gas. It was other rescue team members nearby who came out to ask for help. Ying Wanyu rushed in to save people.
"Detachment Han, the fire is burning even more fiercely!"
"There are nearly two thousand tons of sulfur in the dangerous goods warehouse. How can it not burn fiercely?"
"Oops, I feel like the wind direction has changed, and the poisonous gas is starting to blow towards us!" Suddenly, a search team member suddenly noticed that the thick smoke above their heads was beginning to hit them.
You know, their gas masks have reached the limit they can bear.
But now the factory was burning with fire, blocking the way to the town, and they had no place to retreat.
"Everyone, run towards the river first to avoid being poisoned!"
Gu Ji recalled the aerial view of the town he saw on the top of the mountain. There was a river next to the factory, and most of the poisonous gas was soluble in water, which could effectively weaken its power.
"Support team, how many inflatable boats and life jackets do we have?"
"Only five inflatables left!"
Gu Ji's words gave Han Yue a new idea for retreat.
After the support team leader finished answering, he glanced at the people present and said, "Prioritize the wounded, civilians, and equipment to board the boat. The rest of the people should be tied around the inflatable boat with safety ropes and retreat from the river!"
"yes!"
Next, the support team immediately took out the rolled inflatable boat from the backpack and quickly inflated it with an air pump.
Only then did everyone know why Han Yue used an inflatable boat.
Before they could reach the river, they heard the sound of flowing water. Because of the aftershocks and seismic waves just now, the originally calm river now became like a group of angry beasts, with turbulent waves that kept beating against the stones on the shore. It made a deafening sound.
"Quick! Hang up the safety rope!"
Under Han Yue's command, everyone locked the safety rope on the convex ring around the inflatable boat. In this way, it was equivalent to a large lifebuoy. Even if the boat capsized, they would not be swept away. Drowned at the bottom of a river.
After finishing everything.
The rescue team members in the outer circle pushed the oval-shaped inflatable boat hard, and it retreated with the river waves. It was like a strong big hand, instantly pulling the entire boat in together with the surrounding rescue team members. in the river.
"Everyone must hold on to the ship!"
"Crash..."
This was the last word that Gu Ji heard Han Yue shout. The rapids and waves continued to beat in his ears. Nuo Da's inflatable boat was like a fallen leaf in the wind, letting the river push it. To the left, and a moment to the right.
Seeing the poisonous gas from the factory getting further away, he took the time to take off his gas mask, but in the blink of an eye he was washed away by the river and disappeared.
With such a fierce current, no matter how strong your swimming skills are, you may not be able to survive for more than a few seconds.
This was also the first time Gu Ji felt the terror of the power of nature.
Humans simply cannot resist.
In less than ten minutes, the villages and towns had disappeared from their eyes, leaving only the wisp of black smoke floating in the sky.
After the rescue team entered the downstream, the water flow gradually slowed down.
Han Yue then turned on the radio and prepared to report the rescue situation to Director Yan Qingwen of the headquarters. Being able to confirm all the stranded compatriots on the list meant that one of their main tasks in the Pakistan rescue operation had been successfully completed.
But not long after he opened the channel.
Suddenly, a piercing scream came from the intercom:
"It's harmful to me——!!"
