After only eight days of training, an ear-piercing alarm rang throughout the entire training ground, accompanied by a loudspeaker announcement:
"All transport personnel, please come to the assembly point immediately. All transport personnel, please come to the assembly point immediately!"
Liao Jingwei and Lian Feiguang looked at each other, and their bodies instinctively ran.
The rest of the people who passed by all made way for them.
People looked at them with faint envy on their faces.
There were also some worries.
Everyone, in less than 30 seconds, stood in a row in the designated position.
Although the training time was slightly short.
Under the circumstances where everyone worked extremely hard, they already had some unique temperament.
"Put on your equipment and get in the car according to your groups!" The person in charge walked over and waved his hand. "Time is of the essence. We'll talk about the specific situation on the way."
Just as he finished speaking, a voice rang out.
The ground suddenly began to shake slightly.
It was not very strong, but everyone's expression changed.
Earthquake!
They were in Yuli Province, which was still a province away from the earthquake zone. How could it have already reached them?
"Hurry up." The person in charge's expression did not change. "Let alone a small earthquake, even if it's a big earthquake, we have to set off!"
"Yes! Archer team! "Everyone shouted in unison.
The person in charge's surname was Gong, and his name was Gong Wenbin. During this period of time, he was the one who trained everyone.
Liao Jingwei and the others did not say much and immediately rushed to the equipment area. The two of them worked together and put on the protective suits that weighed 150 kilograms on their bodies. If there was no external skeleton, ordinary people would not even be able to walk while wearing such clothes.
Liao Jingwei and Lian Feiguang were in the same team.
At the same time, they had a small captain, a 37-year-old driver named Zhuo Hong.
"Captain Zhuo." Liao Jingwei waited until they got in the car before he had time to ask, "Captain Zhuo, you only saw us newbies just now. Have the transport personnel in the factory been assigned?"
"They still have to carry out the normal transport mission." Zhuo Hong took a puff of his cigarette, stubbed it out, and threw it into the trash can in the car. "We should be on a special mission. We will be introduced soon."
Just as Zhuo Hong had said, Gong Wenbin's voice could be heard from everyone's communication device.
"Just ten minutes ago, an underground earthquake swept through more than half of our country. Many roads were damaged. We're only at the edge, so there aren't many places that were affected. However, there was still a transport team nearby that encountered a landslide. Listen to this audio."
Soon, an audio clip was played.
A weak voice sounded.
"This is Chang Hai City Food Processing Factory's 18th Transport Team, serial number NEI345. Cough cough, the mission is to transport a batch of emergency food to Yu Li No.3 New Town. We encountered a landslide on section 124 and fell to the bottom of the mountain. Other than me, there are only two people who still have signs of life. The food is still in the carriage.
Liao Jingwei's heart tightened.
This was something that had happened before the previous earthquake, and they had already flipped over to the bottom of the mountain.
What if the earthquake just now caused a second landslide?
It could even cause the mountains to collapse.
It might even bury the people and the car.
"That's the situation. We lost contact with the other party five minutes ago. We don't know the specific situation of the target location. We checked the data of the other party's protective suit. Their vital signs are weak … Our mission is to prioritize taking away the food reserves in the seven cars! Let's move out immediately! "
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhuo Hong started the engine. The entire truck roared loudly.
This was a large truck that had undergone special processing.
Now, it looked more like a large armored vehicle, including all the windows. Everything was covered with a new type of alloy, and alloy tracks were installed on the tires.
Even so, it could barely move forward in the hurricane.
"Channel 1 open!"
"Channel 2 open!"
"Channel 3 …"
One after another, the passageways opened up. In an instant, the entire interior of the car was filled with the sound of violent winds. It even covered the roar of the engine. One could also hear countless crackling sounds hitting the metal shell. Even the body of the car began to shake.
Liao Jingwei knew that they had entered a hurricane.
He quickly put on a glass helmet with a certain degree of soundproofing.
The sound suddenly became much better.
"How is it? Are you scared?" Zhuo Hong controlled the steering wheel and stepped on the accelerator. The car immediately rushed out.
"Just drive properly and you won't be scared." Liao Jingwei stared at the screen nervously.
There were no windows, so they had to rely on some small cameras to move forward.
However, it was completely dark outside. Even where the strong light shone, they could only see countless objects moving at extremely fast speed.
This kind of visibility was very dangerous in itself.
Therefore, they did not dare to drive too fast.
"Let me tell you, you have to be bold and careful when you drive. It's a little difficult, but if I die and you're still alive, then this car will be driven back by you. Watch me carefully," Zhuo Hong said.
"Understood." Liao Jingwei and Lian Feiguang watched nervously.
At the same time, the radio in the car began to broadcast emergency news.
"The impact of the underground earthquake just now has been preliminarily estimated.
One hundred and seventy-eight roads across the country have been damaged. The damaged roads will be updated on the transporter's map in half an hour, and alternative routes will be planned.
The main damaged roads are concentrated in the Northern Township and Zhouchen provinces. It is expected to affect the construction speed of the seven new cities.
However, all transportation forces have been mobilized. Thirty Association transport planes have been transferred to the emergency zone … "
Everyone who heard this news felt their hearts sink slightly.
The construction speed of the seven cities was affected.
And this was only the first wave of a large earthquake.
It could even be seen as a small test before the enemy launched a full-scale attack.
Transportation would indeed become an important battlefield.
It would even determine the final outcome to a large extent.
At this moment.
Shen Yi was also high up in the sky, frowning as he looked at the map projection in front of him.
He could see the entire situation more directly from here.
The epicenter of the earthquake was still in the earthquake zone. Now that everyone had evacuated there, it was completely a no-man's land, so it was not affected much. However, the problem was that the movement this time was even bigger and had affected all the nearby areas.
"Transportation will become a big problem," Shen Yi said.
"Captain." Clove's virtual projection suddenly said, "Hong Feizhang and the others are discussing whether to give up on the new cities in areas where transportation is inconvenient."
"Give up?" Shen Yi frowned. "But in those places, besides the construction of the cities, there are also production factories, right? Give up on them too?"
"But if the situation worsens, this is a choice that must be made," Clove said softly.
