Chapter 3920
Besides them, many other leaders and cadres of the county party committee and county government were injured, and some were seriously injured. It could be said that the losses were heavy, but all the cadres who could still walk were invested in the tense rescue work.
Everyone was silent. They didn't know what to say. Seeing He Fusheng who had turned from sobbing to howling, everyone understood him very well. His life was saved by Qi Dayong, but Qi Dayong returned to the building to save him when he could have escaped, and then sacrificed.
It could be said that Qi Dayong used his own life to exchange for He Fusheng's life! In such a situation, it was normal for He Fusheng to be unable to control his emotions.
And Cai Jingsheng knew more clearly that He Fusheng didn't have a good relationship with Qi Dayong, and the two even quarreled. But at such a life-and-death moment, Qi Dayong rushed back to the office building without hesitation and saved He Fusheng.
This must have had a greater psychological impact on He Fusheng. Cai Jingsheng could understand what kind of mood He Fusheng was in.
When He Fusheng's crying became a little smaller, Cai Jingsheng asked, "Where are their bodies?"
He Fusheng walked towards a corner of the square in silence, and everyone followed him. They walked there. It was already very dark. Everyone walked close to see that several rows of bodies covered with white cloth were neatly placed in this corner. This should be the bodies of the victims already found.
He Fusheng pointed to two of the bodies and said, "This is the body of Old Meng and Old Qi."
If they could only imagine the disaster situation in Xingfu County before coming to Xingfu County, now these more than 100 neatly placed bodies gave them a huge shock.
Even the medical personnel who often saw the dead, when had they seen so many bodies placed together at once?
Under the leadership of Su Xinghui, everyone bowed to the bodies of these victims seriously.
After bowing, Su Xinghui said, "These bodies cannot be placed in the open air like this. Hurry up and set up the tents, place the bodies in the tents, and from tomorrow, transport the bodies whose identities have been confirmed in batches."
Su Xinghui's words pulled He Fusheng and others out of their grief. They all wiped away their tears and began to command the disaster relief soldiers and civilians who had arrived here to start unloading goods from the trucks.
These fifty trucks of supplies were the most urgently needed supplies in the disaster area. The Xinhuo Foundation had been engaged in public welfare activities for many years and had rescued disasters many times. It had rich experience in this regard and naturally knew what kind of supplies to prepare.
The Xinhuo Foundation brought fifty large trucks. There was a driver and two accompanying personnel in the carriage of each truck, which was 150 people. And the drivers and some staff on other trucks added up to about 50 people.
That is to say, this time the Xinhuo Foundation brought 200 people. These people were all people with rich rescue experience. Adding the rescue team of more than 50 people organized by Linshan City, this was a very strong force.
The supplies on these fifty large trucks included tents, fast food, drinking water, medicine, blankets, clothing, etc. They first commanded the soldiers and civilians in Xingfu County to unload the tents and installed them in safe places such as squares and roadsides.
These tents were quite good in quality, thick and large. Each tent was about ten square meters and two meters high, equivalent to a room. People could live in the tents, and supplies could be piled up. Of course, after the first batch of tents were set up, they first moved the bodies of those victims to the tents. Otherwise, the rain in Xingfu County was still quite a lot. If it rained, it would be troublesome.
And in this weather, the bodies of the victims could not be left here for a long time. They must be transported to Shudu City for cremation after confirming their identities.
Coincidentally, the fifty large trucks brought by the rescue team could take these bodies back to Shudu after unloading, and then transport disaster relief supplies from Shudu.
The county government called many disaster relief soldiers and civilians, and soon set up these tents, lined up in a long line along the long street, and the supplies on the trucks were also unloaded and placed in the tents.
After all the supplies were unloaded, everyone sat together to eat dinner.
The supplies prepared by the Xinhuo Foundation included several generators. Now that these generators were running, the incandescent lamps in each tent were lit, bringing some light to this starless and moonless night.
Everyone's dinner was nothing more than instant noodles or fast food rice opened with water boiled in an electric kettle, plus some side dishes such as ham sausages and pickles. However, this was enough to satisfy these hungry soldiers and civilians in Xingfu County.
After the great earthquake, the entire Xingfu County was devastated. Almost all infrastructure had been destroyed. There was no water or electricity, and the phone could not be dialed out. It was like an isolated island. Now they could not cook. The only food was instant noodles, biscuits, and other food dug out from several supermarkets and shops with construction machinery earlier, and the quantity was very limited.
They originally planned to use these limited food to persist for at least two or three days. Who knew that it was only the second day today, and a rescue team came, and brought a large number of disaster relief supplies, and could even let them eat hot things. What else were they dissatisfied with?
He Fusheng's injured place had been checked by Gao Xulin, who put a splint on him and re-bandaged it. His other wounds were also medicated. Now he didn't look so embarrassed.
He Fusheng and Su Xinghui, Yu Ruizhi, Cai Jingsheng, Chai Yongxin, Gao Xulin, Ding Qingyong, Xia Song, and others sat together, eating their dinner, and discussing the next rescue plan while eating.
Their dinner was also two bowls of instant noodles, a ham sausage, and a bag of pickles per person. Although these foods had no nutrition and were even called junk food, at this moment, they brought the most urgently needed hot food to these people, provided them with necessary energy, and brought them hope.
He Fusheng wolfed down the first bowl of instant noodles into his mouth. He basically didn't eat anything all day today. First, because of the lack of food, and second, because he was sad about Qi Dayong's passing, he had no appetite.
But he also knew that no matter what, he could not fall down now. He was the secretary of the Xingfu County Party Committee, and the burden on his shoulders was very heavy. He must eat enough before he had the strength to command the rescue work.
He finished the first bowl of noodles, tore open a bag of instant noodles again, soaked the second bowl of noodles, and then said to Su Xinghui, "Mayor Su, if you hadn't come, we would have had to starve for another day."
Su Xinghui said, "You just eat enough. Tomorrow these trucks will return to Shudu and transport another batch of disaster relief supplies."
He Fusheng thanked them repeatedly, "Thank you very much. Your Linshan City Rescue Team has arrived, this is really too fast."
A cadre said, "How far is Linshan City from our Xingfu County? One or two thousand kilometers must be there, right? Did you fly over?"
Su Xinghui nodded and said, "Our Linshan City is about 2,300 kilometers away from here. We flew more than half of the journey. We took a military transport plane, then took a special plane to Yuzhong City, and then drove from Yuzhong City."
The cadres in Xingfu County exclaimed one after another, saying that this was simply a god-soldier descending from heaven.
Su Xinghui said, "Let's not talk about how we came here first, let's discuss how to organize the rescue work."
He Fusheng said, "Your Linshan City Rescue Team traveled more than 2,000 kilometers in one day, you must be very tired. Rest tonight, let us locals go first."
Su Xinghui shook his head and said, "No, we have already rested on the way. You have been busy with rescue work for more than a day from yesterday to today, and you haven't rested well. So you rest tonight, we go first."
Speaking of which, although the Linshan City Rescue Team came from thousands of miles away, they did seize the time to rest on the way. Su Xinghui and Yu Ruizhi didn't need to say, they could fall asleep anytime and anywhere in the car, and those rescue team members also had rich travel experience and knew how to seize the time to rest to save physical strength.
They were very clear about what they needed to do after coming to the disaster area, knowing that there might not be any time to sleep after coming here.
On the contrary, He Fusheng and the others had not rested for almost thirty hours since the earthquake occurred. They had to be busy with rescue work, and there was no place for them to have a good sleep. Plus, they didn't eat much, so they were already extremely tired.
Su Xinghui knew that in this case, if they didn't have a good rest, people wouldn't be able to bear it.
He Fusheng said, "Mayor Su, how can that be? You are guests from afar. How can there be a reason for us hosts to sleep while you guests do things first? This is absolutely impossible, you sleep, we go first."
