Chapter 489: Arrived in the disaster area
Chapter 489 Arrived in the disaster area
Traffic has been relatively smooth within the province, and the road is very difficult to walk when approaching the disaster area. From time to time, they bumped into the landslide, and the truck they drove was relatively large, and they kept walking and stopping.
However, there are people clearing obstacles along the way. After all, now whether it is troops or disaster relief supplies, the first thing to do is to ensure that the road is unblocked.
In the suburbs of the county, the most central area of the earthquake, the truck could not go through, and the road was completely blocked.
Guo Xiang and Gu Zhennan get off the car and drive.
The road is full of soldiers from the army, some are carrying the big rocks that have fallen, and some are holding the engineer shovel to clean up the mud that has accumulated on the road.
“Comrade, when can I spend this time?” Guo Xiang asked.
“Hello!” A soldier saluted her, “Comrade, this side is temporarily impassable, please take a detour.”
“But we are here to deliver relief supplies, we must go here!” Guo Xiang said.
“Are you sending supplies?” The soldier was a little surprised. This unit moved quickly and asked, “Which unit are you from?”
“We are not a unit, but an individual. We also heard the radio saying that this place was affected by the disaster, so we bought something and delivered it!” Guo Xiang said, “It has been two days since the earthquake, and I think the people in the disaster area must really need these things. ”
The soldier was very surprised. When he walked to the truck, he opened the tarp on it and took a look. It was full of truckloads, and he admired it very much.
gave Guo Xiang and Gu Zhennan another salute, “I thank you on behalf of the people in the disaster area!”
“Yes, comrade, how long will it take for the road to pass?” Guo Xiang looked at the sky, it was getting dark, and they didn’t stop at noon, just the bread they ate on the road.
The soldier looked at the situation ahead, and then at his watch, “It will take two hours at the earliest. We can clear a part of the road that can accommodate a car.”
“Thank you so much!” Guo Xiang nodded, “Do you want us to help?”
“No, you are waiting here, I will send someone to notify you as soon as I have news.” The soldier said.
“Okay!” Guo Xiang nodded, but did not insist. They are professional. Even if he helps, he may be half tired and not as good as they did.
The two returned to the car and talked to Gu Zhendong and Zhang Deyang, and Zhang Deyang pulled the car over.
After an hour, it was completely dark, and the soldiers over there set up temporary street lights and kept digging.
Some people stop to eat first, and then change to another group to eat later.
Guo Xiang saw that they were eating compressed biscuits. She had eaten them in a previous life and knew that they were not tasty, just to fill her stomach.
asked Gu Zhennan to take a box of drinks and a box of bread by himself, and found the soldier just now.
“Comrade, we have some food here, please eat this, we still have a lot in the car!” Guo Xiang said.
The soldier took a look and shook his head, “We can’t eat people’s food!”
“But we are also here for disaster relief. This is the relief supplies. It is the same for you to eat. You are very hard.” Guo Xiang said.
The soldier still shook his head, “This is our duty, but we are not victims of the disaster and we cannot eat.”
“But…” Guo Xiang still wanted to say something.
The soldier said again: “We have rules!”
Guo Xiang was suddenly unable to speak, and was very touched. Our soldiers are both principled and lovely.
“Forget it!” Gu Zhennan said.
“Thank you anyway!” The soldier saluted the two and ran back.
Two hours later, Guo Xiang almost fell asleep in the car. The soldier ran over and knocked on the car door, “Comrade, you can pass!”
Guo Xiang opened his eyes, “Okay, thank you!”
“Xiao Zhang, let’s go!” Guo Xiang called Zhang Deyang.
“Hey!” Zhang Deyang started the car, turned on the lights, turned the steering wheel, and drove forward.
Sure enough, the road ahead was still only halfway through. Some empty places were padded with wooden boards, flags were inserted on the side of the road to prevent cars from driving into the side ditch, and soldiers stood in front of them and commanded.
The car passed smoothly. Some soldiers knew that they were here to deliver relief supplies and saluted them. Guo Xiang also waved to them, secretly saying that you have worked hard.
The car went all the way, and people from different places also came to participate in rescue and disaster relief.
When encountering people in the same direction, Guo Xiang followed them.
To the outskirts of the center of the earthquake zone, relief personnel and troops have already camped here, and a temporary relief camp has been set up.
Guo Xiang used to find the person in charge of the camp and explained that he was here to deliver relief supplies.
“Which unit do you belong to?” the person in charge asked.
“We are not a unit, but an individual!” Guo Xiang said.
The person in charge was surprised. In this era, very few units send supplies, let alone individuals.
“What did you bring here?” The person in charge couldn’t help being curious.
“You can come and have a look!” Guo Xiang said.
After taking the person in charge to the truck, he lifted the tarp on the car, “There are more than 20 boxes of medicines, 50 boxes of instant noodles, 10 boxes of juice drinks, 10 boxes of biscuits, bread, etc.. The shelf life of bread is relatively short. After sending it, there will be no problem with the rest for a few months.”
“There are some clothes and quilts, etc., these camps should be used.” Guo Xiang said.
The person in charge is shocked. There are so many, really full of trucks, and these materials are the most lacking now.
Although they also brought things over, there were too many victims, and soon there were not many left. Other relief supplies have not been delivered yet. Their car really rained in time.
The person in charge shook Guo Xiang’s hand excitedly, “Thank you so much. I will send it over and move it right away. It will be registered and I will give you a receipt!”
Guo Xiang nodded, this is very good, very formal, I am afraid that the kind of inexperienced, misplaced things, and did not register, then I don’t know who took it when the things are missing.
However, Guo Xiang had just asked Gu Zhennan to reserve some food enough for them to put in the cab, so that he would have to wait in line to collect and go through the formalities when he had to eat, which caused others trouble.
Since we can support others without bothering others as much as possible, everyone is already busy enough.
The person in charge asks people to move things to a unified warehouse, where the materials are distributed.
Then he issued a receipt to Guo Xiang and looked at the few of them, “Are you going to leave right away, or are you here to continue participating in rescue and disaster relief?”
“Let’s stay for two days, and we will leave when we have something to do in two days.” Guo Xiang said.
“That…” The person in charge seemed a little embarrassed, “We don’t have many tents here. You may have to squeeze with others.”
“No, let’s sleep in the car!” Guo Xiang said.
The truck is quite big, it was empty when it was moved, and there was a hood on the car, which was warmer than the outside. Guo Xiang thought about this problem earlier and left a few quilts on the car.
“I’m so sorry, you guys can’t help you rest!” The person in charge was very sorry.
“It’s okay, we will just do it in just two days, and it won’t cause you trouble.” Guo Xiang smiled.
