Chapter 320 Silence (5000 words please vote for me)
"Han Yue? Bian Shizhang, Han Yue..."
"Director Yan, he from the Han detachment is fine. He just has a slight concussion and injured lungs."
Facing Yan Qingwen's eager concern, Gu Ji explained while transferring Han Yue to the stretcher of the medical team.
"Thank God, you are all okay, otherwise I really don't know how to face it..."
Yan Qingwen's eyes were red as he looked at Wang Yuexi and Zou Lei, especially Wang Yuexi, a young man who was only twenty-four years old. He couldn't help but start to choke.
"Director Yan, don't worry, with our skills, criminals can't get close easily!"
In order not to worry everyone, Wang Yuexi patted his chest hard, grinned with neat white teeth.
Speaking of criminal gangsters, Yan Qingwen began to ask again: "How is the situation in the mine now?"
"Don't worry, Director, everything has been resolved. A total of 53 foreign rescue team members were rescued, 3 died, 26 armed gangsters were killed, 25 were killed, and 1 was captured alive."
"As long as the matter is resolved, wait...you said everything has been resolved?"
When Zou Lei opened his mouth to report, Yan Qingwen didn't react for a moment. His whole body froze in place, as if frozen in surprise, as if he couldn't believe it.
"Yes, Director, it was Bian Shizhang who led us all the way to resist the gangsters and exploded the cave wall to escape."
This seemingly simple answer shocked Yan Qingwen's heart.
When he received the news and followed the Pakistani military helicopter to the mine, he also got a rough idea of what was going on inside from the first batch of people who escaped. Combined with the blood all over the ground at the entrance of the mine, anyone with a discerning eye could see it. Gotta come out.
Those people who were blocked inside were in danger.
Therefore, they were lucky to escape alive. Who would have thought that they could even complete the task together and solve it so perfectly!
"God! This is incredible!"
"Did he really take out all the gangsters with only three people? Oh my God, that was an armed organization that even gave the Pakistani government a headache!"
"Who is Mr. Bian? I want to see him!"
…
Soon, Saudi Arabia, the United States, and the Pakistani military and political personnel who arrived also learned about the situation inside. The various words and expressions spoken were even more exaggerated than Yan Qingwen himself.
He subconsciously turned to look at Gu Ji, who was escorting Han Yue to the helicopter.
A thought came to my mind:
Is this guy doing rescue work, or is he doing counter-terrorism?
After sending Han Yue to the helicopter, Gu Ji secretly breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed completely.
He designed and proposed the idea of the explosion. If there was really a problem with Han Yue's life safety, he would definitely blame himself for the rest of his life.
Just like his real boss Zhang Wenjun in real life.
Both men are truly excellent captains with a strong sense of responsibility.
Ying Wanyu turned around and looked at Gu Ji's side face, and asked in an unbelievable tone: "Bian Shizhang, I really don't know how you did it. I thought I would never see you again in this life..."
"Maybe it's because of faith."
Gu Ji looked up at the helicopter taking off and spoke softly, "Just like I promised you to bring everyone out safely, I believe that Team Han, Team Xizi, and Team Zou also hold this strong belief in survival."
"Woof! Woof!"
At this time, Xiao Jian suddenly rushed up, lay on top of him and shouted twice, spitting out his big pink tongue and licking his hands until they were covered with saliva.
"By the way, I almost forgot about you. Thanks to your stupid nose, we are safe and sound!"
Gu Ji smiled and picked up Xiao Jian's dog face, rubbed it vigorously, and then took out the fragrant can from his backpack.
If the words just now were meant to offend Ying Wanyu, then this sentence was his heartfelt gratitude to the rescue dogs.
In fact, whether it is an enemy or a trap such as a tripwire bomb, it is not impossible for the human eye and ears to detect it, but it is indeed difficult to observe. What's more terrible is that it will seriously affect the speed of travel.
Don’t forget, the first of the three principles of SWAT CQB is speed!
With a dog, there is no doubt that there is a lot of peace of mind.
Regardless of whether this level can get a high score, his experience working with Xiao Jian alone is already "worth the price" and has inspired him with many tactical ideas for joint police and canine anti-terrorism operations.
"This is Bian Shizhang."
Yan Qingwen's voice suddenly came from behind.
When Gu Ji turned around, oh!
Good guy, a group of people actually gathered around me.
There are Saudi Arabia, the United States, Pakistani military and political officials, and even journalists from disaster areas holding cameras.
"Mr. Bian Shizhang, thank you for standing up and saving the members of the Saudi rescue team in times of crisis. On behalf of the Saudi government and the families of the rescue team members, I would like to express my highest gratitude to you! Allah!"
"Mr. Bian, we in the United States are also very grateful for your help and dedication. No one will ever forget this day. May God always bless you, great hero!"
"He looks so young!"
"Yes, to use a saying from the Xia Kingdom, they are really a country of crouching tigers, hidden dragons!"
…
For a time, Saudi Arabia and the United States expressed their gratitude to Gu Ji.
The others couldn't stop talking and kept talking around.
Of course, the one who should be most grateful is Pakistan.
If Gu Ji and the Xia Guo International Rescue Team had not turned the tide at the critical moment and rescued these foreigners from the armed gangsters, if there had been a large number of casualties or vicious kidnappings, it would have definitely aroused international public condemnation.
And now, it is when they need international assistance.
Gu Ji has been following Yan Qingwen, communicating with senior military and political officials of Pakistan.
It’s not that he likes to stand in the spotlight or show off in front of the stage, but for the ultimate mission of the game, he strives for a stronger international media influence as much as possible.
On the other hand, it was to take the opportunity to inquire about some information about the Saya organization from Pakistan.
Even if Gu Ji has not yet reached the level of direct confrontation with these mysterious organizations whose slogan is "May the glory of mankind last forever", as long as he continues on the road of anti-terrorism as a special police force, it will only be a matter of time.
Therefore, the right thing is to collect some information in advance.
Pakistan has close relations with Xia and has often organized anti-terrorism security consultation meetings in recent years, so there is nothing that cannot be said, especially in front of Yan Qingwen, director of the Emergency Management Department.
A senior Pakistani official with a big belly wearing a silver-gray suit said:
"'Shaye' has suddenly emerged in recent years, and has been secretly causing chaos, attacks, kidnappings and other vicious incidents. According to the information collected by the anti-terrorism intelligence department of the ISI Inter-Services Intelligence Bureau, the supporters behind this organization are in the Middle East, with We have a lot of connections with the notorious 'Kaida', and some of its members are from its Walder terror training camp."
"I see. It seems that during this earthquake relief effort, we need to focus on social safety issues."
Yan Qingwen replied thoughtfully.
Gu Ji, on the other hand, was attracted by the content in the second half of the other person's sentence.
You know, Al Qaeda is currently one of the most dangerous terrorist organizations in the world. It has caused bombings such as the Yemen bombing, the World Trade Center bombing in the United States, the car bombing in the Saudi capital, the Tanzania embassy bombing, and the 911 impact that shocked the world.
Every terrorist attack kills hundreds of people.
In order to hunt down its leader, Al Wad, the U.S. government spent hundreds of millions of dollars, and after recruiting many outstanding agents and informants, it dispatched T1-level SEAL Team Six to launch the most powerful operation in the history of the U.S. Navy's Special Warfare Room. The famous operation, codenamed "Poseidon's Spear".
A year had passed since the successful killing of Al Wad.
A US CH-47 helicopter was shot down by armed personnel in Afghanistan. In this incident, a total of 31 US troops died, including 20 special forces from SEAL Team 6. There is no doubt that this attack was al-Qaeda's attack on the SEALs. Team Six's Revenge.
This casualty is also one of the heaviest losses that SEAL Team 6 has suffered since its establishment.
This shows how terrifying Keida is.
The Ward Terrorist Training Camp is the core training base of Al-Kaida. To put it bluntly, it is equivalent to the "Whampoa Military Academy" among terrorist organizations.
This is what Gu Ji heard from the teacher when he took the anti-terrorism case class.
In the Ward training camp, the students do not use their real names, and students from the same country are often divided into the same group.
They learn everything from pistols and knives to machine guns that use ammunition belts, suicide drones, and surface-to-air missiles. The instructors also teach the students the skills of kidnapping and surveillance. In addition, mathematics is also part of the learning content, because This allowed them to calculate the trajectory and power of the bomb.
No wonder armed gangsters use homemade bombs to set off trip mines.
Gu Ji suddenly understood.
Since this information comes from ISI, it is most likely accurate.
After all, ISI also has extensive influence internationally. It has close cooperative relations with the Xiaguo Ministry of Security, the CIA of the United States, and other international intelligence agencies.
"It seems that this mysterious organization is most likely related to the Middle East..."
Gu Ji thought to himself.
Since Pakistan attached great importance to this unexpected incident, it brought enough military troops to quickly complete the finishing work at the mine site.
And after such a torment.
The Three Kingdoms Rescue Team had no intention of continuing to participate in the rescue and could only return to the earthquake area headquarters to rest.
On the way back, Gu Ji never forgot to think about this side mission.
To be honest, until now, he didn't understand the significance of the system setting it.
Theoretically, as long as you ask the Pakistani Geological Bureau for mainshock and aftershock data in the earthquake area, it will not be difficult to deduce the rules. Not to mention that Gu Ji's reputation is so high now that it is not easy to get the data.
Therefore, as soon as he returned to the base camp, Gu Ji reported his thoughts to Yan Qingwen.
He never expected that the impact of this major earthquake would be more terrible than he expected.
So far alone, 8,600 people have died and millions are homeless.
After getting the data, Gu spent several afternoons thinking about the patterns in it, and often discussed it with geological experts such as Yan Qingwen.
The next few days.
Since Han Yue was sent to the hospital, Yan Qingwen asked Gu Ji, who had made the greatest contribution to the "mine incident", to serve as the temporary detachment commander to lead everyone to continue rescue and disaster relief.
With the end of the "golden 72 hours", the rescue work has gradually begun to come to an end.
Due to the severe shortage of rescue personnel and supplies.
Many people who survived the earthquake were unwilling to do anything and tried their best to dig out the victims, bury the dead, and work hard to find food and heat sources.
The temporary emergency living areas in the earthquake area are already overcrowded.
The homeless and dusty people were forced to huddle in abandoned cars or huddle around small fires to resist the cold night.
On the football field in the north of the camp, the bodies of people who had lost their lives were densely placed.
Families with missing relatives looked around in these temporary morgues one by one, moving almost numbly to identify the faces of the remains.
If the body is not recognized, they move on, and when it is, they break down and cry.
These are not the most painful.
During the several days of rescue, what shocked Gu Ji most was that the earthquake zone extended to the west, to the outskirts of Lahore city.
Among the ruins, he saw with his own eyes an old man in an orange coat holding a girl's hand and refusing to leave.
After Gu Ji, Wang Yuexi and others arrived at the scene.
Only to find out that Uncle Juyi's home was in ruins during the earthquake.
His elderly parents and wife died on the spot. Only he and his 12-year-old daughter survived, but his daughter who was lying on the bed was pinned down by a huge concrete block.
The rescue was too difficult due to the lack of heavy equipment.
He could only listen to his daughter's voice coming from under the ruins getting weaker and weaker, and eventually passed away unfortunately.
Yes, when Gu Ji and the others rushed to the scene.
People are dead.
The father could only hold his daughter's cold hand, sitting desperately and numbly on the ruins he once called home.
Looking at the devastated ruins, Wang Yuexi couldn't help but sigh, "Well, when we were conducting rescue operations a few days ago, we could still hear a lot of crying, but now, there is no sound, only silence."
“Everyone just has to do their best.”
Gu Ji patted Wang Yuexi's shoulder comfortingly.
In fact, he is also thinking that maybe as long as he can lift one more brick and search one more piece of land, he can change a person's destiny...
The fifth day after the earthquake.
Pakistan has finally announced the official end of large-scale rescue operations and is preparing to start post-disaster reconstruction work.
Gu Ji also happened to find out the vibration pattern of this earthquake.
That is, although the magnitude of aftershocks is getting lower and lower, the frequency of occurrence is becoming more and more dense, which is obviously strange.
[The ultimate goal: to ensure the successful completion of the 5.8 Pakistan earthquake rescue operation and to maximize the success of the Xia Guo International Rescue Team in the international media! 】
[Branch goal: Exploring the aftershock activity patterns in the seismic zone was successful! 】
[Open the hidden goal: Find the laws of activity within the earth. 】
Gu Ji frowned slightly.
This is the first time he has seen the system's hidden missions so strange. In past levels, the game's hidden missions would reveal the core points or major conspiracies in the level's plot, but this time he was asked to find the laws of natural disasters?
Although he did feel that there was something unusual about it.
So, he hurriedly asked Yan Qingwen to borrow a computer and called up the geological activities around the world recorded by the Xiaguo Earthquake Bureau in recent years.
It took nearly an hour to watch from beginning to end.
Gu Ji gradually sorted out three sets of data.
In the 20 years since the earth entered the 21st century, three sets of huge energy activities have occurred inside it.
Group 1: Within 6 years and 4 months from 2004 to 2011, three huge earthquakes of around magnitude 9 occurred.
They are the 9.1-magnitude earthquake in Indonesia, the 8.8-magnitude earthquake in Chile, and the 9.0-magnitude earthquake in Japan.
Among them, the magnitude 9.1 earthquake in Indonesia accelerated the earth's rotation by 6.8 microseconds, triggering a tsunami in the Indian Ocean. The magnitude 9.0 earthquake in Japan moved Japan's Honshu Island about 3.6 meters eastward, and the earth's rotation accelerated by 1.6 microseconds.
Group 2: In the six years from 2013 to 2018, five deep-source major earthquakes with a magnitude of about 8 and a depth of 600 kilometers occurred. The earthquakes were located in the high-temperature and high-pressure upper mantle of the Earth’s interior.
The main ones include the Sea of Okhotsk with level 8.2, Japan's Ogasawara Islands with level 8.1, Peru and Fiji Islands, etc.
What is more outrageous is that when an 8.2-magnitude deep earthquake occurred in the Sea of Okhotsk, it was also felt by high-rise buildings in Moscow, which is more than 7,000 kilometers away. An 8.1-magnitude deep earthquake occurred in the western waters of the Ogasawara Islands in Japan, and the earthquake was strongly felt in Tokyo, which is more than 1,000 kilometers away.
Group 3: A series of powerful volcanic eruptions in 2018, with depths ranging from 100 to 200 kilometers.
There are Kilauea volcano in Hawaii, Morapi volcano in Indonesia, Shinmodake volcano in Japan, Ebeko volcano in the Kuril Islands, etc.
From super-deep earthquakes, to upper mantle earthquakes, to volcanic eruptions at a depth of about 100 kilometers, I can’t imagine that the focal depth of this major earthquake in Pakistan was only 20 kilometers!
After such statistics, Gu Ji discovered a very terrifying phenomenon.
Today, the activity inside the earth has significantly increased and is extending to the surface!
[Hidden goal: Finding the laws of activity within the Earth was successful! 】
[Level settlement statistics are in progress...]
Gu Ji was not even surprised by the completion of the hidden mission so quickly, because his whole body was now immersed in the shock of this conclusion.
If this is true, will natural disasters on earth become more frequent in the future?
Somehow.
Subconsciously, Gu Ji inexplicably thought of the Japanese mission abroad. When he, Gao Bo, and Wu Kang were sitting in the hotel room to discuss, Gao Bo made a joke: "The earth is not going to be destroyed." Bar?"
At that time, he responded by saying, "It's more reasonable for aliens to attack the earth."
Of course, the destruction of the earth is still impossible, but at least this increasingly active geological activity must attract sufficient attention.
Thinking of the several national-level crises I have experienced.
Floods in India, MERS in South Korea, and earthquakes in Pakistan.
Perhaps the game asked him to look for patterns in seismic activity in order for Gu Ji to become a "whistleblower" to remind countries to pay attention and make early preparations to avoid greater and more serious economic damage and casualties.
Thinking of this, I looked at the gray filter gradually covering my eyes.
Gu Jiqiang held on to his vision, which was blocked by the system, and hurriedly shouted to Yan Qingwen: "Director Yan, I have something important to report!!"
