From Pingchuan to Shu Du City, it was 1500 kilometers!
They set off at 17 o 'clock. Far away's convoy was constantly being joined by other vehicles.
They were Faraway Supermarket's relief teams that were organized by the headquarters.
When they arrived at Hubei province, another group of vehicles joined in.
At five o 'clock in the morning, most of the journey was over.
Everyone was very tired, but no one was resting, and no one was looking for a hotel.
The convoy stopped in an open space on the side of the road. Everyone gathered around the car to eat dry food and drink mineral water.
Li Dong took a sip of mineral water and stared at the sky in a daze.
Shen Qian was on the phone. A few minutes later, Shen Qian walked over tiredly and said softly. "The road in the epicenter area has not been opened yet. All the troops have rushed to support. In addition, the mall, PP, and Weibo have all opened donation channels …"
Li Dong waved his hand and said. "Let's not talk about this. How long until we arrive at Shu Du City?"
"It will take at least six or seven hours. We will arrive at around 12 o 'clock at noon."
"Let everyone rest for 20 minutes. We will continue to travel later. Please hold on, I will compensate everyone when we get back. "
Many people's eyes were red when they heard this. "General Manager Li, this is what we should do. There is no need for compensation. If we really take the money, we will not feel at ease."
"Yes, General Manager Li, you and the chairman have come in person. If we still take the money, are we still human?"
"… …"
Everyone rejected Li Dong's suggestion of compensation.
If Li Dong did not come, they might still be resentful.
But even Li Dong came in person. What else do they have to complain about?
Everyone has compassion. After the earthquake in Wen Mountain, many people suffered.
They couldn't do anything. Far away was organizing a rescue team. Everyone was willing to be a part of it.
After eating the biscuits and drinking water, Li Dong got up and said. "Let's go. We must arrive before 12 o 'clock."
Everyone got up and got on the car. In the dark night, the long convoy continued to drive towards Shu Du City.
…
At 8: 30 am on the 13th, Li Dong and the others arrived at Mountain City.
Wang Yue's eyes were red. When Li Dong's car stopped, Wang Yue stepped forward and said, "All the resources in Shan City have been transferred out. In addition, we have organized our own rescue team. General Manager Li, you and CEO Shen should stay here. I will go."
"Cut the crap. Bring your men and follow."
Wang Yue sighed softly and didn't say anything else. She called for the convoy to catch up.
At this time, there were more cars on the road.
Many of them had formed their own teams, with one car, two cars, or even three to five cars. Everyone was heading in the same direction.
When they saw the Faraway Group's flag and fleet, many people couldn't help but stare.
There were more than 30 cars in the convoy. Apart from the government's rescue team, this was the largest private convoy seen since the earthquake.
Looking at the heavy trucks loaded with supplies, many people felt a sense of warmth in their hearts.
Originally, when they organized the rescue team, many people advised them not to go now because it was too dangerous.
But now, even the Faraway Group, which was not from the southwest region, had arrived. Everyone couldn't help but strengthen their determination.
Along the way, whether they knew each other or not, everyone greeted each other.
Everyone's face was filled with worry and concern. At this moment, it didn't matter how much money they had, or how many supplies they had. What was important was that everyone's goal was the same.
At 11: 40, the convoy finally arrived at Shu City.
Far away's huge convoy arrived, and it immediately attracted the attention of countless people.
In fact, the reason why it attracted so much attention was not because Li Dong's convoy was large, nor was it because everyone knew in advance that Li Dong would come.
It was because of the schools!
21 hours had passed since the earthquake. Except for Wenshan, the lifeline had not yet been opened. Most of the other areas that were more seriously affected by the earthquake had been opened.
The earthquake was too big, and many buildings collapsed and were seriously damaged.
But the frontline reporters sent back live reports. A miracle had happened!
In several severely affected areas, the surrounding buildings had collapsed, but there was still a brand new school standing among them!
Far away's 99 schools had become the new Noah's Ark, a refuge for everyone.
Even the government's temporary command organization had moved into the local campus at this time.
Therefore, before Li Dong arrived, the Faraway Group had already attracted the attention of many people.
Far away's convoy arrived, and it attracted even more attention.
Liu Minghua personally called Li Dong. The moment the phone was connected, Liu Minghua said in a hoarse voice, "General Manager Li, thank you!"
Li Dong's throat was also a little itchy. This was the gratitude from a feudal official.
There was no interest, no politics, but sincere gratitude. He could feel it.
Li Dong paused and said softly, "It's what I should do."
"Then I won't say more. Tell the people Far away to pay attention to their safety. Now the front line is in urgent need of material reinforcements. Your people came at the right time. I will ask someone to lead the way for you. Part of the road is blocked. By the way, give me the phone number of the person in charge of Far away in Sichuan. I will ask someone to contact him. "
Li Dong said in a deep voice, "Just contact me directly. Secretary Liu, I have arrived at Shu Du city."
Liu Minghua, who was on the other side of the phone, was stunned for a moment. Obviously, he did not expect Li Dong to actually come.
At this time, some rich people could not avoid it. They could donate, but most people were not willing to take the risk.
Li Dong came with the convoy. Obviously, the disaster had just happened not long ago. Far away had already organized a rescue team.
When he just received the report, he did not know that Li Dong was also there.
Liu Minghua felt a little complicated in his heart. He said in a hoarse voice, "Then, you stay in Shu Du city. Leave the convoy to us. Don't worry, no one will dare to do anything at this time!"
"Thank you, but I still want to go and have a look. Secretary Liu, you can arrange someone to lead the way for us. I know you are much busier than me at this time. I will pay attention here. "
"That's good, be careful!"
Liu Minghua did not persuade him again. Since Li Dong came in person, he must have his own reasons.
Although he did not know what this young entrepreneur was thinking, Liu Minghua still sincerely thanked him.
Others didn't know as clearly as he did how many lives those 99 schools in the distance had saved!
When he rushed to the frontline and saw the reports, Liu Minghua was filled with infinite emotions.
After hanging up the phone, an old man next to Liu Minghua said tiredly, "Little guy also came by himself?"
Liu Minghua nodded.
The old man arrived yesterday afternoon, and he has not rested yet.
Many people had heard the news that Faraway Group's convoy had just arrived.
After all, this was the first time such a large-scale private rescue team had arrived, and their speed was not slow. It was even faster than the rescue team organized by Jiangbei province.
When the news came out, many people paid attention to it.
The old man was also paying attention. Far away was donated to those schools. The old man also knew about it.
Because of the schools, they would think about Far away. Because of the schools, they would care about Far away.
Now that Li Dong had personally gone to Sichuan, even the old man was a little shocked.
When the old man heard that Li Dong had come, he said with emotion, "This is an entrepreneur! An entrepreneur from Hua Xia! "
Everyone on the scene was thoughtful. The old man did not say anything more about Far away. His somewhat cloudy eyes regained their sharpness, and he said seriously, "Continue to speed up the road rescue in Wen Mountain! We must open up a road for the convoy to move forward within 48 hours. Let the airborne troops continue to try and strive to carry out the first batch of supplies as soon as possible! "
Everyone responded, and the temporary command center instantly entered a busy state.
…
Shu Du was not the end point.
The road to Wen Mountain was not open, so they could not go there for the time being. However, the area around Wen Mountain was also seriously affected by the disaster and was in urgent need of rescue.
Li Dong stayed in Shu Du for less than 20 minutes before the person Liu Minghua mentioned arrived.
It was not a government personnel, but a soldier in military uniform.
He was in his thirties, and his face was firm.
When the soldier saw Li Dong, he saluted to Li Dong with a solemn face.
Li Dong hurriedly returned the salute. To be honest, at this moment, the most respectable people in Shu Du were these soldiers.
Usually, he could not feel it, but only at this moment, he could feel the bravery and fearlessness of the soldiers.
Both sides greeted each other. The soldier looked at Li Dong's car and thought for a second, then said, "Mr. Li, I am afraid it is not convenient for your car to go in, why don't you transfer to my car?"
Li Dong looked at the off-road vehicle parked at the side, nodded, and said, "Sorry for the trouble."
The man in military uniform said seriously, "I should be the one thanking Mr. Li! The materials you've brought have been a great help to us! Now the road in Mianyang area has been opened up, but the damage is serious, and we are short of supplies. Our supplies are not in place yet, and there are too many people affected by the disaster. Far away, Mr. Li is worthy of our respect! "
Li Dong was usually thick-skinned, but today, he was a little embarrassed.
He did not dare to say anything else. Li Dong got on the other party's car and nodded. "Major Zhang, we can go now."
The man in military uniform also got on the car. When he heard Li Dong calling him that, he shook his head and said, "Just call me by my name, or Comrade."
"Okay."
Li Dong didn't try to be pretentious and immediately agreed.
After that, no one said anything.
Zhang Kaidong led the way in the front, and the convoy Far away followed behind. Not only the convoy Far away, but there were also several other private groups following.
There were more than 50 cars in the convoy.
With Zhang Kaidong leading the way, the convoy's speed was a lot faster. Zhang Kaidong had just returned from the front line.
Zhang Kaidong had done a good job in communicating with the garrison troops, regardless of which route was accessible.
It also saved a lot of time.
Even so, when they arrived at Mianyang, it was already past 5 pm.
It was a scene of devastation!
In fact, they had already seen some of it on the way here.
But when they got off the car and saw the frontline situation, many people's eyes still reddened.
Zhang Kaidong saw Li Dong staring ahead and said in a low voice, "Mr. Li, we can't go further, it's too dangerous. You and the others stay here, I'll go find someone to receive the supplies. "
Li Dong nodded. "Go do what you need to do, don't worry about us. We won't cause you any trouble. But Far away still has a rescue team of 100 people, all professionals. If you need help anywhere, just arrange it. "
Zhang Kaidong nodded and was about to leave when Li Dong suddenly said, "Can I go take a look at the nearby schools now?"
Zhang Kaidong was a bit hesitant, but there was a Far away donated school nearby. It wasn't too far from here.
After hesitating for a bit, Zhang Kaidong said, "Sure, but it's getting dark. Mr. Li, come back as soon as possible."
Li Dong nodded. "Okay, I understand."
He knew that he couldn't be of much help at this time, and instead could easily cause trouble for everyone.
After all, he was a well-known domestic entrepreneur and philanthropist. He had led a large convoy of supplies to the local area for the rescue. If anything happened to him, it would definitely be troublesome.
However, looking at Li Dong made him anxious. He was confident in the school he built, even if he had to lend a hand.
After Zhang Kaidong left, Far away greeted the convoy's person-in-charge and told them to accept the government's arrangements.
At this time, Li Dong was not worried about any accidents happening.
The provincial government, including the central government's chief, were all on the frontline. If anyone were to play tricks at this time, they would be dreaming.
Besides, Li Dong didn't think that anyone would be so heartless as to do such a thing at this time.
It was possible to rebuild after the disaster, but not at this time.
After greeting the convoy's person-in-charge, Li Dong brought Shen Qian, Tan Yong, and the others to the school.
Wang Yue wanted to follow, but Li Dong waved his hand and said, "You stay here, we'll go take a look and come back."
"Then, CEO Shen …"
Li Dong glanced at Shen Qian and said softly, "Shen Qian, come with me."
He knew that he couldn't persuade Shen Qian.
Besides, they were already here, and Li Dong had already let go, so there was nothing to worry about.
Along the way, they saw soldiers in military uniforms bustling about.
However, this was the temporary command center area, and it had already been mostly cleared. Li Dong didn't see many people affected by the disaster.
Some people who had been rescued from the front were also evacuated to a safe area.
Along the way, Li Dong even helped the nurses carry a few injured people. Even though these things seemed insignificant, Li Dong was still in a much better mood.
The school had already become a temporary hospital.
Li Dong and Tan Yong carried a wounded person to the school. The female nurse behind them said gratefully, "Thank you, otherwise, we really wouldn't have been able to carry him here."
The two nurses were already sweating profusely, and their white nurse uniforms were also smeared with a lot of mud.
Li Dong nodded slightly and didn't say anything. He looked at Tan Yong and the other bodyguards and said, "You guys go out and help. You don't have to follow me."
Tan Yong and the others were all elites, and if they helped, they would be of much greater use than Li Dong.
Tan Yong was a little hesitant, and Shen Qian also said, "Old Tan, you guys go. There's not enough manpower here, so help as much as you can."
Before they came, although Shen Qian was a little upset, she was honestly more worried about Li Dong.
But when they arrived at the scene, Shen Qian also felt upset.
There were too many injured people, and some of them were not even injured anymore. Their tattered bodies made them look miserable.
Shen Qian said, but Li Dong insisted. Tan Yong gritted his teeth and turned to the bodyguards and said, "Let's go, let's go help!"
The bodyguards couldn't hold it in any longer. They were soldiers too!
Even if they were retired, they were still soldiers!
Seeing the busy figures outside and the exhausted crowd, although they wanted to continue protecting Li Dong, they wanted to be one of them even more.
Now that Li Dong had spoken, they hurriedly took off their jackets and threw them to the side before walking out of the school.
