"Swoosh …"
On the top of the mountain, as if the gate was opened, the torrent formed by the rain and the red mud was like a raging river, rushing toward Fang Qiu while breaking down the old man's cabin.
"Oh no."
Fang Qiu was shocked.
He could completely resist this torrent. Even if the full force of the torrent hit his calf, he would not allow his foot to move even an inch.
However, the torrent came down from above. If he did not avoid it, Fang Qiu could hold it, but the old man on Fang Qiu's back could not.
The old man had just recovered. If he was hit by the mountain torrent, wouldn't it be a big problem?
He moved his feet.
Fang Qiu immediately ran to the side.
He ran to a big tree three meters away to hide.
"Clatter …"
The mountain torrent poured down in front of Fang Qiu.
At this time.
The few people who had run over from afar also ran over and looked down the mountain.
After seeing the streams of water and the mountain torrents rushing down from the mountain, these people's expressions all changed.
"It's over. We're trapped on the mountain."
"What can we do?"
"We can't cross such a large amount of water. Now it's raining so heavily. The mountain torrent will only get bigger and bigger. Where can we hide then?"
Several people's faces were full of fear.
Seeing the rushing water at the foot of the mountain.
They did not dare to go down at all.
For ordinary people, crossing such a turbulent water was tantamount to courting death.
"Old man, take a rest here first. I'll find a way to help you cross the river."
Fang Qiu put the old man down.
Then he turned to look at the anxious people next to him and asked, "I'm from the Huaxia rescue team. Are you from the village on the mountain?"
"Yes."
Although Fang Qiu spoke in English, the people here could understand him.
After all, English was also one of the official languages of the Philippines.
"Is there anyone else on the mountain?"
Fang Qiu asked.
"No."
Several people immediately shook their heads and said, "The others have been picked up. Only a few of us are left."
"Help me take care of this old man first. I'll find a way to take you back to the rescue station."
Fang Qiu nodded with understanding.
Then, he swept his gaze across his surroundings.
Very soon.
His gaze landed on the river at the foot of the mountain. There was a floating wooden plank. It was the remains of the old man's wooden hut. The wooden plank was not small, but it was still intact. It should be able to support these people.
"Let's go down the mountain."
Fang Qiu quickly carried the old man on his back and ran down the mountain.
The others ran after him.
Running to the foot of the mountain, Fang Qiu put the old man on the ground, told those people to take care of the old man, and then immediately rushed into the river.
At this time, the wooden plank had already been washed away by the river. If they were any later, they wouldn't be able to catch it.
He secretly used his inner Qi.
Fang Qiu quickly rushed to the plank floating on the water, grabbed the plank, and then turned back.
"Get on the plank, I'll push you across the river."
When they came to the shore, Fang Qiu said, "Don't worry. This board can support your weight."
However …
But this group of people did not dare to attack.
They were afraid.
What if this plank flipped over in the river?
"Go."
The old man was the first to come out. He walked to the wooden board and sat down, saying, "Hurry up, you guys. It will be too late when the mountain torrent breaks out."
As these people heard this, they all looked back up the mountain.
They found that there was a trend of mountain torrent breaking out in several other directions. Their hearts immediately tightened, and they did not dare to hesitate and immediately got on the plank.
Entering the water.
Fang Qiu mobilized his inner Qi under his feet to reduce the impact of the water on him. Then, while holding the plank tightly, he walked towards the other side of the river.
As soon as he took a few steps, he was submerged up to his waist by the water, and the water level was still rising.
Seeing Fang Qiu pushing the boat in the water, several people on the plank were very nervous.
They were afraid that Fang Qiu would be accidentally washed away by the water.
At the same time.
Several people also reached out and grabbed the clothes on Fang Qiu's shoulders. In this way, even if something happened and Fang Qiu suddenly couldn't hold on, they could ensure that Fang Qiu would not be washed away by the water.
"Young man from Huaxia, be careful. Be careful."
The old man looked at Fang Qiu and said.
"Don't worry. I will take you there."
Fang Qiu said as he sped up.
The torrential rain was never-ending.
Mountain torrent was one thing. This river was also connected to the coastline. Once there was a big wave on the coastline, the water level of the river was bound to rise rapidly.
So he had to hurry.
Stabilizing his lower body with his inner Qi and the plank with his inner Qi, Fang Qiu pushed forward quickly.
Not long after.
Finally, he came to the middle of the river.
At this time, the water in the middle of the river had submerged Fang Qiu's chest.
Looking at the raging river hitting Fang Qiu's body, the people on the plank panicked.
Fortunately.
Fang Qiu was fast enough.
After a while, he rushed out of the deepest part of the water and quickly pushed the plank to the riverbank.
"Safe. We are safe."
The people on the plank hurriedly pulled Fang Qiu out of the river. Then, one by one, they came up to hold Fang Qiu's hand and kept shaking hands to thank him.
"Follow me, everyone. I will take you back to the rescue station."
Fang Qiu said nothing and carried the old man on his back again.
Then.
He ran all the way to the rescue station.
Several people followed him closely.
Three or four miles. After running for more than ten minutes, they finally ran to the rescue station.
Seeing Fang Qiu coming back with people.
The local official named Garo immediately ordered his men to rush out and help Fang Qiu bring these refugees in.
"Phew …"
After the people were taken away, Fang Qiu breathed a sigh of relief.
"Where are the senior highly-skilled doctors?"
Fang Qiu glanced at the rescue station and found that the three highly-skilled doctors were not there.
"They went out for emergency treatment."
Garo frowned and said, "They heard that there were people in several villages on the mountain over there who couldn't get down and there were many seriously ill patients, so they followed the rescue car."
He looked in the direction Garo pointed.
Fang Qiu found.
It was the opposite direction from where he had just gone.
"There is no river or something like that over there, is there?"
Fang Qiu asked hurriedly.
"No."
Garo immediately shook his head and said, "At most, there are some drainage ditches. Because several mountains over there are on the coastline, the sea can't pass through because of the mountains."
"That's good."
Fang Qiu nodded knowingly, but he was still a little worried.
After all.
The three highly-skilled doctors were old.
Moreover.
This heavy rain had been going on for several days. Flash floods broke out on the mountains everywhere. He hoped that the flash floods broke out in the direction of the sea. Otherwise, it would be dangerous.
"Is there a rescue team?"
Fang Qiu asked again.
"Yes."
Garo nodded and said, "There are a total of two people in the rescue team, plus three old Chinese Medicine doctors. We didn't take the others because the space of the rescue car is limited. If we go too many people, we can't save too many people."
Fang Qiu turned his head and glanced in the direction where the three highly-skilled doctors went.
At this time.
"Beep, beep, beep …"
The phone in Garo's office suddenly rang hurriedly.
He heard the phone ringing.
Fang Qiu frowned.
Garo immediately ran into the office to answer the phone.
"Hello?"
The phone was connected.
"Please support, please support. The rain is too heavy. The flash floods here have broken out. Many houses have collapsed and many people have been buried."
There was a panicked cry for help on the other end of the phone.
"What?"
Garo immediately panicked when he heard it.
"The mountain has collapsed and many people have been buried. When the three old Huaxia people helped to dig people out, they were also buried in the mountain when the mountain collapsed again. We need help, we need help!"
On the other end of the phone, the cry for help kept repeating.
"I'll contact Manila right away and ask for transport helicopter rescue."
Garo said with a pale face and then quickly hung up the phone.
"What's going on?"
Seeing Garo's pale face, Fang Qiu had a bad feeling in his heart and hurried over to ask.
"It's a landslide. The mountain has collapsed. Everyone is buried."
Garo said in a panic.
"What?"
Fang Qiu's eyes widened.
The three highly-skilled doctors?
"There they are. Take me there right away. I'm going to save them."
Fang Qiu's eyes instantly turned red.
"How can you save them alone? Don't worry. I'll call the transport helicopter right away to help."
Garo said as he hurried to make the call.
"When the rescue team arrives, they will all be dead."
Fang Qiu was so anxious that he slapped Garo's phone away and said, "Take me there right away. I can save them."
Seeing Fang Qiu's anxious look.
Garo did not dare to hesitate anymore.
He quickly sent a driver of a rescue car to drive Fang Qiu there.
He knew that it was urgent.
The driver did not dare to neglect and sped all the way.
It didn't take long for them to arrive at the foot of the mountain.
"It's up there."
Seeing the large piles of red soil that had been washed down by the mountain torrent after the landslide, the driver's face changed and he said, "Can we go up?"
"Swish."
Fang Qiu did not answer the driver. After knowing the location, he did not dare to delay for a moment. He moved and immediately went up the mountain, moving forward at full speed.
On the way.
Fang Qiu saw the torrent everywhere on the mountain and a lot of red soil and big stones, which were washed down from the mountain.
Obviously.
If the mountain hadn't collapsed, the soil and stones would not have been washed down at all.
He ran all the way.
After running for two minutes, Fang Qiu finally came to the place where the mountain collapsed.
It was an area that was completely hollowed out.
It looked.
It used to be a semi-circular area. There should be a village living in it.
At this time.
The mountain in the whole area collapsed downwards.
It seemed that the foot of the mountain had been washed away by the waves.
Far away.
Fang Qiu saw a rescue worker, who was digging with his bare hands, with a face full of panic and tears.
"Where is he? Where was he buried?"
Rushing to the front, Fang Qiu quickly asked.
"Here, it's here."
The rescue worker pointed to the pile of soil in front of him and said, "It's down there. They're all down there."
Seeing what was in front of him.
This pile of yellow soil was like a hill. Fang Qiu suddenly went crazy.
He moved his hands.
