Chapter 3928

Su Xinghui patted his shoulder silently, then went to the simple restroom to use the toilet, washed up simply, and went to get a bowl of instant noodles, a bag of instant noodles, a ham sausage, a bag of pickled mustard, and a bottle of mineral water. This was his lunch.

Although large trucks were constantly transporting relief supplies here, there were still tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Xingfu County, and the disaster victims in those townships were also moving to the county. So many people needed to eat, drink, and defecate, so these supplies must not be wasted. In this camp, a supply system was currently implemented. No matter who needed what, they needed to go to the storage to get it.

Su Xinghui had a big appetite and was doing heavy physical labor, so he had to eat at least two bowls of instant noodles per meal. Of course, the bowl-packaged instant noodles were relatively limited, so he generally got one bowl of instant noodles, and after eating it, he used this bowl to soak a bag of instant noodles, which was relatively more economical.

While soaking the noodles, Su Xinghui took a look at the camp. During the time he was sleeping, many more tents had been set up. These tents were transported this morning. These tents formed a long dragon that couldn't be seen at a glance, which made their camp scale larger and larger.

Those large trucks and fuel trucks were constantly coming and going, bringing a large amount of relief supplies and fuel. These supplies and fuel maintained the operation of the camp and brought hope of life to those still buried in the ruins.

While soaking the noodles, Su Xinghui asked the local cadre how many people had been rescued this morning.

That cadre said that this morning, they had rescued over a dozen people, and another dozen or so people had been rescued from the townships below. They were all sent to the camp by vehicles and rescued. Now the vital signs of these people had stabilized, and there should be no danger to their lives.

This made Su Xinghui feel very gratified. During these golden 72 hours, their efforts had indeed been effective. This was mainly because their rescue team brought a large number of high-tech rescue equipment and the help of large machinery, which enabled them to efficiently carry out rescue operations for the survivors in the ruins.

However, dozens of victims' remains were found in the ruins this morning. Finding remains meant that these people had completely lost hope of life, which was depressing.

Weeping could be heard from many tents. Some weeping was heart-rending, but some weeping was also very suppressed. No matter what kind of weeping it was, it made people sad and distressed.

Su Xinghui was also very sad, but he suppressed his sad emotions and started eating the instant noodles. In fact, in such an atmosphere and such emotions, he didn't have much appetite, but he had to force himself to eat because he was engaged in heavy physical labor. If he didn't eat, he wouldn't be able to hold on.

Su Xinghui wolfed down the first bowl of instant noodles, drinking the soup and water until it was completely gone. These waters were bottled drinking water transported by large trucks and must not be wasted. Here, waste was equivalent to a crime.

After finishing the first bowl of instant noodles, Su Xinghui opened the bag of instant noodles and started soaking the second bowl.

Just then, Su Xinghui heard a commotion behind him. It turned out that a motorcycle carrying three people had driven straight into the camp and was stopped by a sentry.

Although this was not a military camp, there were a large number of relief supplies and victims' remains here, so there were special sentries here to keep watch and maintain order.

The sentry asked the three people seriously what they were doing. One of the people who got off the back seat of the motorcycle said in a panic, "PLA comrade, we are all from Xingfu, working outside. Xingfu had an earthquake, so we rushed back. We don't know how our family is."

At this time, He Fusheng and the others also came back for lunch. He Fusheng heard the commotion here and walked over, asking seriously, "Where do you live?"

The three people quickly stated their residence. The three of them didn't live together, and they didn't know how they came back together.

Their homes were all in the relatively southern part of the county, and they came from the north, so they had to pass through this camp, which was why they were stopped by the sentry.

Due to extreme fear and tension, they spoke stutteringly, saying, "Secretary He, you must help us find our family!"

He Fusheng said, "Your homes have all been destroyed, but most of the survivors there are still in this camp. I will call your street cadres over, and you can find your family yourselves."

He Fusheng had people find the cadres of those streets. Before long, those street cadres came over. They did know these people. One street cadre said, "Old Zhang, your family is fine. It's just that your father was slightly injured, but it's not serious."

Old Zhang was the person riding the motorcycle. Upon hearing the street cadre's words, he was overjoyed and thanked him repeatedly. The street cadre then led him and pushed the motorcycle toward a tent.

The other two street cadres were somewhat hesitant. The other two people suddenly understood a little. They begged the street cadres to tell them the situation. The two street cadres could only tell them the situation of their families.

Among these two, one surnamed Li had a father who was confirmed dead, and his mother and wife were still missing. His daughter was studying at the earthquake-resistant public school and had run out safely. Now his daughter was also living in a tent.

This middle-aged man surnamed Li suddenly cried bitterly. His home was completely destroyed. How could he bear such a blow?

Everyone was silent. They had seen such scenes countless times in the past two days, but they still couldn't harden their hearts. Every time they saw someone crying so helplessly, they didn't know how to comfort the other party.

The street cadre said, "Old Li, the rescue team is still rescuing. Maybe your mother and wife can still be saved."

In fact, everyone knew that what the street cadre said was just to comfort him. In that ruin, the rescue team members had already used life detectors several times and found nothing, which meant his family was in dire straits.

Of course, theoretically, without finding the remains, death could not be confirmed. But this was because large machinery would prioritize digging ruins with signs of life. No matter when, living people were more important, so they would wait until all survivors in all places were rescued before digging for the victims' remains.

The street cadre supported the limp Old Li and went to the tent where his daughter lived. Everyone looked at his back. They knew that Old Li would depend on his daughter for life in the future, and the father and daughter might be immersed in painful memories forever.

Another person surnamed Yang looked nervously at the street cadre of their street. He knew that their family must not be intact either, otherwise, this street cadre would have said so long ago.

Sure enough, the street cadre hesitated for a long time before saying, "Little Yang, you have to be mentally prepared."

Little Yang nodded stiffly and said, "I am mentally prepared."

The street cadre said, "Little Yang, your parents are still on the missing list. Your wife was a great person. She was the great mother who was on TV this morning. She protected your son's cradle before she died. Your son is fine."

Little Yang was somewhat dazed. He had been walking on the way home and didn't see any news at all. But he realized that his home was also destroyed. His expression slowly became painful. This slow pain was even more unbearable to look at.

Little Yang's tears gushed out. His hands were tightly clenched, and his nails almost pierced his palms. His whole body was trembling constantly, but he still suppressed his emotions and didn't cry out loud.

No one mocked Little Yang's performance. They all knew that such a blow was enough to make even the strongest person collapse instantly. The onlookers around all shed tears with Little Yang.

Su Xinghui then understood that the infant he rescued last night was Little Yang's son, and that great mother was Little Yang's wife. He put down the instant noodles in his hand, walked toward Little Yang, brought up the photo, handed it to Little Yang, and said, "Little Yang, your wife was really great!"

Little Yang slowly stretched out his hands, took Su Xinghui's mobile phone, and looked at the photo foolishly. Suddenly, he burst into tears. No one persuaded him. Everyone knew that at such a moment, crying out was actually a good thing.

While crying, Little Yang was also saying some incomprehensible words. Everyone vaguely heard that he was blaming himself, saying why he didn't take the whole family out. If he had taken the whole family out, this wouldn't have happened.

That street cadre told others that Little Yang used to take his wife out to work together, but this year his wife was about to give birth, so she didn't go out together, but stayed in Xingfu County, gave birth to the child, and stayed in Xingfu to raise the child. Who knew that this would happen this year?

The street cadre's words made everyone sigh. This was too miserable, but now they could only face the facts.

While crying, Little Yang suddenly went limp and fell to the ground. Su Xinghui was quick-witted. He grabbed Little Yang's armpits, supported him, and then pressed one of his acupuncture points, which could allow Little Yang's emotions to stabilize slowly. ===== CHAPTER 3930 =====
