Chapter 215 Rescue! Rescue!
Zhuang Yan felt that he had encountered the most insects and animals in his life that night. The density was so high that he felt a little numb when he remembered him.
Compared to the snakes, insects, rats and ants encountered in the wild for survival training, various creatures in the Paizhou Burning Flood Area seemed to be completely forced out of the ground and the grass by the flood.
Several times, Zhuang Yan actually saw a snake swimming to the edge of the assault boat and struggling to climb onto the boat!
Those mosquitoes and various unknown insects lost the protection of plants and all flew into the air and ran wildly. Zhuang Yan, Wang Datong and others did not open their mouths and talked at all. They had to cover their mouths with their hands before speaking.
Because as long as you open your mouth, at least several mosquitoes will fly in.
Zhuang Yan and others could only rely on large flashlights to find trapped people around. In fact, the range of flashlights was very limited, so the boat could only drive slowly, for safety, and for the other hand, it was not easy to miss the people surrounded by the flood.
But the flashlights are particularly provoking insects, and all the mosquitoes fly to the place where there is light.
The people on the entire assault boat, LUO's exposed neck and back of his hands were quickly stumbled everywhere, and it was extremely itchy.
"Look! There's a fire there!"
Wang Datong blocked his mouth with one hand and shouted in front of the right hand with the other.
Everyone's eyes looked at the position where Wang Datong pointed.
It's a fire!
Loomingly, about a hundred meters away from the front of the assault boat, a cluster of orange-red flames swayed in the dark.
If there is fire, there must be someone!
The trapped person must have lit a fire and sent a distress signal!
"Drive here!"
Sergeant Huang Hanrui ordered the top soldier Qin Yanming, who was driving the boat, to "There are a few trees fifty meters ahead, and slowly pass through the middle, don't be anxious!"
The motor of the assault boat slowly slowed down and passed through several gaps among the trees under Qin Yanming's operation.
"Snake! There are snakes!"
Jiang Wenying, who was sitting on the side of the ship on the right, suddenly screamed, and subconsciously leaned towards the left.
Jiang Wenying suddenly changed her position, causing the ship to shake slightly twice.
"Don't panic!" Huang Hanrui shouted loudly, "If there are too many people later, I will definitely tell you not to get up and move suddenly, otherwise the boat will overturn when there are too many people!"
Seeing Huang Hanrui's nervous expression, Zhuangyan quickly picked up a single-soldier shovel placed in the assault boat and changed his seat with Jiang Wenying.
Sure enough, he approached the side of the ship on the right and found that several snakes were climbing on the tree next to him.
What makes people goose bumps is that there are a few toads and four-legged snakes lying on the trunks, densely packed, making the scalp numb in the flashlight.
"Members! We are the People's Liberation Army! If there are people, just say a word!"
Before the ship reached the fire, Wang Dazui couldn't help but shouted in the direction of the fire.
"Someone! We're here! There are more than a dozen people!"
"It's the People's Liberation Army here!"
"We are saved!"
In the darkness, all kinds of joy sounded mixed with the sound of running water.
Not only were the trapped people happy, but even the soldiers on the boat were overjoyed!
There are people, and there are more than a dozen! This means that many people can be borne, and these are all human lives!
"Don't panic! Don't panic!"
When the assault boat approached, it was discovered that it was a small hillside, and there seemed to be people shaking around the fire, and there were still many people.
Seeing PLA soldiers coming over in assault boats, people on the hillside were eager to rush to the water.
It was still raining and the ground was slippery. What Huang Hanrui was most worried about now was that someone accidentally slipped into the water.
The water is too fast, the surroundings are too dark, and the situation is complicated. Once it slides into the water, no one guarantees whether people can be retrieved in the dark.
"Don't worry!" Zhuang Yan couldn't help but shout, "We will save you!"
"ah--"
A woman who was about to rush to the point of being a random woman suddenly screamed and turned around and ran up the hillside.
"So many snakes!" she shouted.
Zhuangyan quickly walked to the bow of the boat and shone a flashlight around the water, and was shocked.
Although I was at least a pre-order team leader who had been trained in the field, I would never forget the solemn situation in my life.
So many snakes!
A dense snake!
The variety is colorful, and even the solemnity cannot tell whether it is poisonous or not.
He shone the flashlight on the surrounding ground, and the situation he saw in his sight surprised him even more.
Not only snakes.
There are toads, mice, and even chickens and ducks!
These animals are obviously more terrified than humans. Apart from more snakes, they seem to be less aggressive. They don’t bite the frogs and toads next to them...
I don’t know how the chickens and ducks came here, but they actually hid in this casual grass to take refuge.
It seems that everything has spirituality, and the desire to survive is not just for people.
The bow of the assault boat gently hit the hillside. Zhuang Yan didn't care about so much. He tied the pants of the camouflage uniform, jumped off the boat, grabbed the cable and nailed it into the soil.
"Press the boat horizontally! Make the boat horizontally!" Huang Hanrui directed the boatman to bring the boat across, so that it would be convenient for people on the hillside to board the boat.
Zhuangyan used engineer shovels to pick all the snakes, insects, rats and ants blocking in front far away and ran straight to the hillside.
On the top of the hillside, nearly twenty men, women, young and old, squat or stand, forming a circle next to a broken wall built a one-meter-high brick. The fire was lit in the middle of this building similar to a pig and cow shed.
Fortunately, this is the place where the fire would not burn in the rain.
It seems that this fire has made them suffer a lot less.
Without fire, perhaps Zhuangyan and others would not have discovered these trapped people so quickly.
"My fellow villager, how many of you are?"
"There are fifteen children, including the children." A middle-aged man was obviously the head of these people. He glanced at the assault boat and said, "Take us away quickly, the water here is still rising..."
Huang Hanrui looked upset and said, "My fellow villager, our boat can only be seated with 12 people, and we can only sit seven... Otherwise, let the elderly and children get on the boat first, and then turn back to pick you up?"
When the middle-aged man heard this, his head shook his rattle: "No, no, no, you should take us all, please."
When the middle-aged man and the people around him were anxious when he heard Huang Hanrui let some of them stay.
"The water is still rising here, and we don't know when we will be drowned..."
"We swam here just now, and many people were washed away. Please, comrades in the People's Liberation Army, take us away."
"It's so scary here, I won't stay here..."
Everyone started to yell, and the scene suddenly became a little chaotic. Someone couldn't help but run towards the assault boat and wanted to climb onto the boat...
Several children who were hugged by the old man began to cry loudly, and the scene was in chaos.
In fact, these people on the hill have long been scared.
The flood after the breach swept across the entire Paizhou like a beast. These people who escaped were alive and died, and many people watched their friends or relatives be washed away.
They finally swam here, relying on this abandoned chicken coop to shelter from the rain, burning out the dry clothes in the bag, in order to attract the attention of the rescuers and to survive.
Survival is just a human instinct.
A large group of people soon squeezed beside the assault boat, and they all wanted to get on the boat in a hurry.
The 12-person assault boat was quickly shaking left and right, and the boatman Qin Yanming on the boat was so anxious that he warned loudly: "Don't squeeze in! The boat is about to overturn!"
Zhuang Yan suddenly shouted: "Stop everything!"
Without saying a word, he stepped forward and got off the middle-aged man who was leading the car.
The middle-aged man didn't stand firmly and sat on the ground.
Zhuangyan pointed to the elderly on the slope and said to the children, and said angrily: "Do you understand what a man is? Embarrassing!"
The middle-aged man was angrily shouted, and was stunned at first, then started to cry loudly.
"My home is gone...my fields are gone...my wife and children are washed away by the water and don't know if they are alive...I have nothing! No more!"
Zhuangyan looked at the middle-aged man who was in his forties and couldn't help feeling sad.
yes……
