Chapter 347

In fact, half of these ten helicopters were rescue support provided by the Maple Leaf Country police, and the other half was the result of Li Yong's efforts today.

After the rescue team set off, Li Yong had also considered the possibility that there might not be enough helicopters.

So early in the morning, Li Yong contacted the Maple Leaf Country police while also seeking help from the Chinese Chamber of Commerce in Maple Leaf Country.

Of course, Li Yong actually felt some regret in his heart at this time.

After all, when the program team first started, the base had rented ten helicopters to be on standby.

But as the program team members gradually withdrew, the program team felt they didn't need so many, so they returned seven of them.

Now that things had become urgent, it was not so easy to find seven helicopters in a short time.

Fortunately, the Chinese Chamber of Commerce in Maple Leaf Country was very helpful. Upon hearing that they were rescuing members of the program team where Xiao Yi was located.

They also expressed that they would provide the greatest help, whether in money or materials.

Subsequently, there were the five helicopters that were urgently supported.

These were all prepared by the Chinese Chamber of Commerce using their energy in Maple Leaf Country.

Of course, the reason why the Chinese Chamber of Commerce was so active and enthusiastic was partly because of rescuing compatriots.

Another reason was that Xiao Yi had won enough face for these Chinese in Maple Leaf Country some time ago.

"Really? If there are ten, that would be great!"

Obviously, the number given by Li Yong at this time exceeded Wang Ming's expectations.

Upon hearing this, Wang Ming naturally couldn't help but get excited.

"Li Zong, I also need..."

"Are you done yet, kid?"

This time, before Wang Ming could finish, Li Yong interrupted helplessly. Did this kid really think he had a treasure chest here?

"Not done, I also need as many snowplows as possible, otherwise our rescue team members will be unable to move an inch."

If it were normal times, Wang Ming would naturally not dare to talk back to Li Yong.

But now it was a rescue moment, and he was the person in charge of the rescue.

At such a critical time, even if he was afraid of Li Yong in his heart, he could only try his best to get more rescue materials from Li Yong.

Seeing Wang Ming dare to contradict him, Li Yong was stunned; he had never thought of such a thing.

Li Yong himself knew that he didn't have a good reputation within the program team.

He was even nicknamed "Hairdryer" by some nosy guys in the program team.

Of course, this could also indirectly show Li Yong's status in the program team.

Although he couldn't be called the "tyrant" of the program team, it was not far off.

Seeing that Li Yong had no response for a long time, Wang Ming, who was on the phone, actually felt quite uneasy in his heart.

He was already prepared to be scolded by Li Yong!

"Accompanying you tomorrow will be three large snowplows, seven medium snowplows, and nine small snowplows. These are all the snowplows in the surrounding cities and towns; it's impossible to mobilize more snowplows in a short time."

"Ah!"

Hearing Li Yong say this, Wang Ming was surprised and let out an "Ah."

Wang Ming did not expect that what greeted him was not Li Yong's foul language.

But Li Yong's gentle statement, and he even gave him support that exceeded his expectations.

Although he knew that Li Yong would definitely not refuse his request just now and would try his best to collect snowplows.

After all, this concerned the rescue, and there were tens of millions of people in the broadcast room paying attention to this matter regarding Xiao Yi!

However, according to Wang Ming's understanding of Li Yong's personality, with this guy's temper, facing his behavior just now, wouldn't he have scolded him twice even if he finally gave the materials?

Now, in this abnormal situation, Wang Ming truly felt... uncomfortable.

"..."

"..."

"What are you 'ah-ing' about? Didn't you hear what I just said? These are already all the snowplows in the vicinity. What else are you dissatisfied with, kid? If you're still dissatisfied, come back, and I'll let others take your place, and your bonus for these few months will be gone."

"No, I have no dissatisfaction. It's just that the quantity exceeded my expectations. Thank you for your support, Li Zong. I will definitely manage this rescue well."

Are you kidding? If the bonus for these few months were really gone, he would cry for a lifetime.

Due to the gratifying ratings of the program, the bonuses for their entire program team were astronomical, with the lowest being many times more than their salaries.

Even the bonuses for the people at the base were never lower than six figures.

And as a senior executive of the program team, his bonus could even be seven figures, which was about his five-year salary.

"Phew!"

Actually, after hearing Li Yong's reprimand, Wang Ming secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Although he didn't experience the power of Li Zong's "hairdryer" just now due to his "rebellion," he also felt his severity, which made Wang Ming feel at ease immediately.

"Li Zong, also, finally, there is the issue of cold-proof materials and food!"

Finally, Wang Ming continued to speak, even though he felt Li Yong's irritability at this moment.

But there was no way; their first batch of rescue teams came out in a hurry and didn't actually make sufficient preparations.

What's more, if nothing goes wrong, two hundred more people will arrive tomorrow.

If cold-proof materials and food can't keep up, then don't talk about saving people; they might have to save themselves.

"The base isn't rich in materials either, but I will have the base ship all the stored materials to you this afternoon. At the very least, it can ensure that even if two hundred more people go, the materials there will be enough for you to survive for three days."

"As for after three days, don't worry! I will definitely be able to prepare sufficient materials for your subsequent use by then. Your most important task now is to coordinate the rescue from all aspects."

Li Yong wasn't too worried about materials; there was no pressure, as the base still had storage.

Even if there was pressure, it would only be when more than two hundred rescue personnel entered the no-man's-land tomorrow that he would feel some pressure.

But fortunately, the Chinese Chamber of Commerce in Maple Leaf Country was actively helping to prepare. With the support of local Chinese, Li Yong didn't need to worry too much.

"I understand, Li Zong. I will cooperate well with Captain Liu and the others!"

After saying this, Li Yong and Wang Ming hung up the phone directly.

Subsequently, Li Yong was also dazed for a while, not speaking for a long time.

The reason he chose Wang Ming to preside over the rescue work was that this guy had a certain ability to coordinate, and most importantly, he was easy to talk to and had a good temper.

This point was very important. Even Wang Ming himself could realize that there couldn't be two voices during a rescue; how could Li Yong not have thought of this problem?

There were actually a few people at the base with stronger abilities than Wang Ming, but the more capable people were, the more they liked to command, just like Li Yong himself.

Perhaps Li Yong himself was not suitable to go to the front to preside over the rescue work because his strong personality made it easy for him to give blind commands.

"Li Zong, you made too many promises to Boss Wang just now. There are still a few snowplows that haven't been negotiated!"

At this time, the assistant on the side saw Li Yong dazed and couldn't help but remind him with a bitter smile.

Because the area affected by this blizzard was too extensive, it also led to several surrounding small towns being unwilling to rent out their snowplows.

People from the program team had also gone to talk several times without success!

Hearing this, Li Yong came back to his senses and said.

"Then raise the price for me, rent it at double the current price, or even triple is fine. If you really can't rent it in the end, then buy them all for me. If the price of a new car doesn't work, give me double the price of a new car. I don't believe anyone will refuse."

At this time, Li Yong's words were definitely those of a nouveau riche. There was no way; the program team was really not short of money now.

In fact, Xiao Yi alone saved the program team as much as nine figures in funds during the program.

Anyway, Li Yong's goal now was to try his best to rescue all the members of Shen Shen Mengsan's rescue team; after all, there were too many people in the country paying attention to this matter.

Assistant: "..."

After hearing Li Yong's words, the assistant was speechless for a while, then nodded with a bitter smile.

However, he felt a little secretly happy in his heart. It's so good that the program team has money; at worst, I'll just smash you with money.

I hope that the programs I preside over in the future will be as well-funded as this one.

"Sigh! It's too high, the helicopter can't hear our shouting at all!"

"What should we do now! We can't keep shouting like this, this is not a solution!"

"What solution can there be now? We have no mobility here at all."

"By the way, should we light a fire? After the smoke drifts into the sky, I believe the helicopter will definitely be able to see us when it passes by again."

"Are you kidding me? How can you light wood with such thick snow? And this is a forest area. Even if it's covered in snow, are you sure you want to light a fire in a forest area? Don't let us be burned to death by the fire we lit instead of being rescued."

"This won't work, that won't work, what on earth should we do? I think even if we shout until our throats are hoarse, it won't be of any use."

"Don't worry, since the base's plane has appeared, it means the program team is still searching for us, and the program team will definitely find a way to rescue us."

"You are putting all your hope on others! I think we should save ourselves."

The ones who were just shouting were the members of Shen Shen Mengsan's rescue team. Unfortunately, the helicopter responsible for the investigation did not find their location.

Seeing the helicopter fly directly over their heads, everyone's mentality naturally became more anxious.

At this time, they were saying all sorts of things; of course, most of them were discussing how to attract the attention of the search helicopter.

However, although everyone brainstormed, they still didn't come to a decision in the end and could only wait dryly.

"Captain, did you see the helicopter flying in the sky? Why didn't you shout like me!"

Hong Liu, who was still digging snow, saw the helicopter fly away from over their heads and couldn't help but ask.

Hearing this, Shen Shen Mengsan looked at him as if he were looking at a fool.

Then he asked back, "You shouted just now, did the helicopter find you and respond?"

"It seems... no!"

Hearing this, Hong Liu scratched his head awkwardly and couldn't help but say.

"Then that's it? Is your shouting useful? Can the people on the helicopter hear it? Since it's useless, you might as well save some energy and honestly dig the snow. When we dig out the SOS, our chances of being rescued will naturally increase when the helicopter passes by again."

Hong Liu: "..."

Hearing Shen Shen Mengsan's words, Hong Liu was speechless for a while, and then he didn't say anything more and continued to dig snow hard.

As for Shen Shen Mengsan at this time, he couldn't help but look up at the direction the helicopter flew away, and then he also silently dug the snow.

Although Shen Shen Mengsan knew that Hong Liu's behavior just now was a bit silly, he didn't lack a fluke mentality in his heart.

What if... what if the rescue team members on the helicopter really noticed them?

Even though Shen Shen Mengsan knew that looking at them from that height was no different from looking at ants.

After all, Shen Shen Mengsan himself really didn't want to stay in this damned snow anymore. At this moment, he felt his hands and feet were about to be frozen stiff.

Fortunately, he wove tools with tree branches. If he were to dig the snow with his hands, he was afraid that before the rescue arrived, both his hands would be ruined.

Of course, the rescue was still continuing to search for Shen Shen Mengsan and the others, and Xiao Yi was also heading east all the way to rescue them.

In fact, Xiao Yi had set off three hours ago.

And when he set off, he handed the lucky reindeer to Pan Chen, asking him to take care of it on his behalf.

Xiao Yi planned to help that guy, who was named Lucky and was indeed lucky, find a new herd to release after the rescue was over.

Seeing Xiao Yi's behavior, Pan Chen was a bit flustered for a while; he had no experience in raising reindeer.

However, seeing Xiao Yi's arrangement, he couldn't refuse for a moment.

Even many netizens in the broadcast room were typing, asking him to take good care of this reindeer named Lucky.

Subsequently, Xiao Yi ignored the situation here, packed up his tent, and then took plenty of food and started searching all the way east.

Of course, the little lynx was still following Xiao Yi, and on the side, there was the rough-legged buzzard that couldn't be driven away.

In fact, when Xiao Yi set off, he intended to let that rough-legged buzzard leave, but no matter how Xiao Yi drove it, that bald bird refused to leave him.

It would fly into the sky from time to time and cry out in sorrow, and after finding that it didn't wait for the other rough-legged buzzard, it would fly back in disappointment.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Yi was also a bit helpless. Xiao Yi didn't actually think that the rough-legged buzzard that didn't return could survive.

That rough-legged buzzard could originally fly to him during the day and fly back at night.

This proved that the nest of these two rough-legged buzzards might not be far from here.

Even if it wasn't in the center of this blizzard, it was probably on the edge.

But even in the edge area, it wasn't easy for that rough-legged buzzard to safely survive the impact of this blizzard.

As for the future arrangement for the little lynx, Xiao Yi could only change his original plan at this time.

Originally, Xiao Yi determined that he would stay in the program for a full hundred days.

By the hundredth day, this little thing would be a size larger, and if it had survival ability by then, Xiao Yi would directly release it back into this wilderness.

Now it seems that time is not so sufficient.

So Xiao Yi planned to take this little thing with him first, and after leaving this wilderness, send it to a zoo to be fostered for some time.

After it was completely grown, the zoo would be responsible for releasing it back into this forest.

"Wu wu! Wu wu!"

"Jiu jiu! Jiu jiu!"

At this time, inside the snowplow, the little lynx and the rough-legged buzzard were both chirping non-stop.

In this snowplow, they seemed to have discovered a new world, not understanding why it was no longer as cold as it was outside after entering here?

And Xiao Yi naturally ignored them; at this time, he was concentrating on investigating the surroundings, hoping to make some discoveries.
