Chapter 3933

Everyone listened quietly to the sound coming from the loudspeaker. Until 2:28 PM, the shrill alarm sounded suddenly. Everyone lowered their heads solemnly and mourned for three minutes for the victims in the earthquake.

Although this was only a short three minutes, for those at the earthquake disaster scene, these three minutes were almost as long as three centuries.

In front of their eyes, scenes of joys and sorrows that happened in the disaster area flashed by. Although this was a painful major disaster, it made their hearts stronger.

At the same moment, in all cities across the country, national mourning day activities were being held. All vehicles stopped running, and all people stood in place, lowering their heads in mourning. This scene was shocking and also made the hearts of the people across the country tightly connected together...

The national mourning day activity made the hearts of the people across the country connected together, especially the masses participating in the rescue in the disaster area. They were more motivated, and donations and supplies from across the country and even the world continued to be donated to the disaster area.

However, as time passed, it was becoming increasingly difficult to find survivors, or it could even be said that it was impossible to find survivors. On the night of the national mourning day, at 1:00 AM, a survivor was rescued from the epicenter, Huanchuan County. He was also the last survivor rescued in this major earthquake.

In Xingfu County, thousands of people were rescued. At the beginning, the masses who escaped spontaneously carried out rescue. They rescued those who were buried relatively shallowly or couldn't escape in time due to injuries. This batch of survivors was the largest. For example, He Fusheng was rescued in this batch.

But those who were buried in the ruins were not so easy to rescue. These people needed more professional rescue teams to rescue them. It was precisely because several rescue teams arrived quickly that Xingfu County could rescue so many people.

According to statistics, the Linshan Rescue Team rescued 218 people in this week. These 200-plus people were all rescued from relatively deep ruins.

This number was already quite impressive, more than the number of people in their rescue team. Among them, Su Xinghui personally participated in the rescue of dozens of people, which made him a star in Xingfu County. These dozens of people and their families were particularly grateful to this extraordinary mayor.

Two children rescued by Su Xinghui personally would affectionately call him "Su Dad" every time they saw him, and other people who knew Su Xinghui would also affectionately greet him when they saw him, which gave Su Xinghui the greatest sense of achievement.

And what made Su Xinghui most gratified was that the girl who was abandoned by her lover also slowly became cheerful. The He Fusheng couple also formally recognized her as their foster daughter. This lonely and helpless girl finally had a warm home.

These days, the life detector could no longer detect signs of life on the ruins, and what was found under the ruins were all victims' remains. This was a sad thing, but such a natural law could not be broken by anyone.

In the world, there were also some miracles of life. Some people could survive after being buried under the ruins of an earthquake for half a month. But if miracles could always happen, then it wouldn't be called a miracle. Therefore, everyone in their hearts understood that it was unlikely that any more miracles would happen now.

Su Xinghui also knew that it was time for him to go back. After all, he was the mayor of Linshan, and millions of people in Linshan needed him, so he couldn't always stay here.

Therefore, half a month after arriving in the disaster area, he left the disaster area with Yu Ruizhi. Yu Ruizhi went to Shudu to personally sit in command there, in charge of the distribution of relief supplies to the disaster area and the post-disaster reconstruction work that would be carried out subsequently.

This time such a major disaster occurred, the total value of money and goods received by the Xinhuo Foundation had exceeded 20 billion. Of course, it was impossible for all this money and goods to be invested in the disaster area now. The post-disaster reconstruction work in the disaster area was also a huge project and also required huge capital investment, so the money and goods received also needed to be reasonably allocated.

Most importantly, this money must be used in the disaster area for every cent, otherwise, the good reputation accumulated by the Xinhuo Foundation for so long would be destroyed overnight.

Su Xinghui went to Shudu and then flew directly to Yanzhong City, and then returned to Linshan. Of course, at Shudu Airport, Xi Xu also specifically rushed there to see him off. This time Su Xinghui came to Xingfu County from thousands of miles away to participate in disaster relief work. Although Chuanxi Province couldn't talk about any hospitality to him due to timing issues, having a vice governor see him off couldn't be saved. This was related to etiquette issues.

Su Xinghui and Yu Ruizhi also left Xingfu on a dawn morning, just leaving a letter for He Fusheng, which was handed to He Fusheng by Chai Yongxin, who continued to serve as the rescue team captain after he left. Doing this was of course to avoid Xingfu County holding any send-off ceremony for him.

Su Xinghui was most afraid of this in his life. Those who are sad and soul-stirring are only parting! Parting is always sad, so he would rather leave quietly.

Although some people saw Su Xinghui and a few others get into an off-road vehicle and drive to the north, they didn't think that Mayor Su, who was with them day and night, was about to leave. They thought he was going to which disaster area to inspect the disaster situation. Such a scene was commonplace for them.

Su Xinghui returned to Linshan, only bringing Ding Qingyong and Zhai Yingjie. These two were his secretary and his driver, who couldn't be missing every day, so they had to be brought back. As for Xia Song, Dong Ziqian, Chai Yongxin, Gao Xulin, and others, they still stayed in Xingfu County to participate in Xingfu County's rescue work.

Currently, Xingfu County was building a large number of activity board houses. In addition, many wounded and sick people were waiting for treatment, so they were still very much needed by the rescue team. They estimated that they would stay in the disaster area for another month or two before they could return.

Su Xinghui, who returned to Linshan, was warmly welcomed by the people of Linshan. Qian Jianan personally presided over a welcome meeting to welcome Su Xinghui back with honors.

This time Su Xinghui really showed off a bit. He didn't know how many times he had been on CCTV's news program. CCTV specifically stationed a film crew in the severely affected area of Xingfu County, filming valuable news every day. The shots of Su Xinghui participating in the rescue had been played on TV countless times.

The shots of Su Xinghui personally rescuing survivors had also been broadcast many times. Even when rescuing a survivor who had been buried for four days and four nights, CCTV conducted a live broadcast of the rescue scene for more than an hour.

When the crane moved the last large prefabricated slab from above the survivor, Su Xinghui and others moved the small concrete blocks, and then Su Xinghui jumped down personally and lifted the survivor up with others, the audience across the country burst into cheers at the same moment, and Su Xinghui's image was also engraved in the minds of the audience.

Everyone knew that Su Xinghui was the highest-ranking administrative cadre who personally participated in the earthquake rescue work this time. This personal participation in earthquake rescue work was personally participating in the ruins to save people. Although there was no lack of national leaders inspecting the disaster area, they were generally very old and couldn't personally go into the ruins to save people. This was a heavy physical labor, and only strong young people like Su Xinghui could take it.

Su Xinghui's record made people respect him. Although Su Xinghui was young and strong, he was after all a mayor. Not every mayor could risk his life to enter the disaster area to participate in rescue work.

Everyone could see whether the scene was dangerous. It was okay in the camp, but when in the ruins, if a relatively large aftershock occurred, the rescue team members themselves could be buried in the ruins. And on the mountain road, rolling stones could occur at any time, especially when it rained particularly heavily for a few days, landslides and mudslides had occurred several times.

If a landslide or mudslide was encountered while driving, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Therefore, this rescue was very dangerous. In fact, in this rescue, the number of rescue team members who died in the line of duty had exceeded one hundred. Although the Linshan rescue team was relatively lucky, with only a few injured and none died in the line of duty, the danger to life was real.

And everyone could see from the TV that Su Xinghui was always the first to charge, standing on the front line of rescue. When he was rescuing on the ruins, he encountered aftershocks not once or twice. Although he escaped every time with his agile skills, it still made people sweat for him.

Not to mention the danger, in the half month in the disaster area, the hardship of the rescue team members was beyond imagination. They slept at most three or four hours a day, slept on folding beds, ate instant noodles, and it was quite good to be able to brush their teeth and wash their faces every day, let alone taking a bath, because there was no water and no place to take a bath. ===== CHAPTER 3935 =====
