Su Yun really did not want to talk to this guy anymore.
This was his true thought. Zhao Yunlong knew how to perform emergency treatment? Bullsh * t, let them do it. I won't be at ease.
However, these words actually came out of Zheng Ren's mouth, and … he could not refute it.
It was really suffocating, really suffocating.
Su Yun closed his eyes and cursed a few more times. The exhaustion of the day swept over him like a tide, and he soon fell asleep quietly.
A few hours later, the rain finally stopped. The sky was still gloomy. Zhao Yunlong keenly noticed it after the rain stopped.
He observed the road and saw that the ice on the road was gradually disappearing. Before daybreak, the temperature had already warmed up. At least there was no more ice rain. He felt a little relieved.
That was because when the ice rain stopped would determine whether the mission could be successfully completed.
This situation indicated that they could save at least three to four hours of time, he thought to himself.
At 3: 40 am, Zhao Yunlong woke everyone up and continued forward.
After the rain, although the thin ice had completely melted, the mountain road was still so slippery that every step they took made them feel unsteady.
It took nearly two hours for the group to walk through this rugged and slippery road with difficulty.
The sky was already brightening. As they moved forward, the huge lake became more and more obvious.
The clearer it was, the more shocking it was.
It was as if countless tons of water were trapped in midair. If any of the rocks were not strong enough and collapsed, it would definitely be another disaster.
Zhao Yunlong used the GPS system and satellite phone to report the situation on this side to the newly established command center, emphasizing the mountain road and the lake.
It could be said that the path he was taking was a dead end. Even with large-scale construction machinery, it was definitely an extravagant hope to open up the road in a short period of time.
From a certain point of view, the mission had been completed.
Countless teams braved aftershocks, mudslides, and icy rain to move forward. They were constantly trying and making mistakes.
The team would bear the consequences of the wrong choices. The loss of personnel or time was bearable from the overall perspective. (Note 1)
Even so, the mission had failed. However, the team still needed to move forward and strive to enter the epicenter area as soon as possible to understand the situation there and rescue the survivors.
After bypassing the lake, the road seemed so far away.
Usually, there was a saying that a horse would run to death if it was in sight. Zheng Ren felt that even if there were no mountains here … Even a mouse would not be able to run, let alone a horse.
Moving forward in silence, the exhausted group felt as if they had performed a day's worth of surgeries while wearing lead aprons. Every step they took was extremely difficult.
Suddenly, Zheng Ren heard a buzzing sound.
Dragonflies, hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands of dragonflies, came from the forest not far away.
Zheng Ren frowned, covered his eyes with his hands, and stopped.
"Ah!" someone cried out in alarm.
Reporter Sun was already exhausted to the extreme. He walked forward in a daze, but when he suddenly encountered countless dragonflies, he was startled. He wanted to dodge, but his ankle twisted. He lost his balance and fell to the ground.
Fortunately, this place was not as narrow as the mountain road. It was considered "flat ground". Reporter Sun only sprained his ankle and it was not fatal.
Zheng Ren turned around and glanced at Reporter Sun. There was a faint red on the System panel. It was diagnosed as a sprained right ankle.
It's nothing. It's just a small problem.
However, she was already exhausted, and with her ankle sprained, she was completely unable to move forward with the team.
If it was flat ground, he would not mind carrying her on his back. It was only a few dozen kilograms. It was not a big deal.
However, this was a mountain road. It was wet and slippery, and it had just rained. Zheng Ren carried a military first aid kit, water, and dry food. He had to be a hundred times more careful when walking. Carrying a person on his back? Stop talking nonsense.
Zhao Yunlong had the same thought as Zheng Ren. He did not even have the mood to comfort Reporter Sun. After a simple physical examination and finding that there was no substantial damage, he asked the cameraman to stay behind to protect her.
He told the cameraman that he had already notified the emergency command headquarters. The specific location had already been determined by GPS, and a rescue team would soon come to carry out the rescue.
No matter how stubborn Reporter Sun was, she could only accept reality.
She had seen the situation along the way. If she was willful and continued to move forward, she would definitely be a burden. Even if she was not afraid of death, did she have to bring the entire team to die?
Tears dripped down. In front of the camera, she cried like a child.
Her clothes were wet from the rain, and she wore a camouflage uniform on the outside. It looked a little funny. Her originally exquisite hair was messily stuck to her face, and her lips were purple from the cold. She looked especially sorry.
However, she respected Zhao Yunlong's arrangements. She and the cameraman moved to a slightly higher and flatter position. Looking at the team moving forward without looking back, looking at the water and food left behind by everyone, she still wanted to do something.
She casually tidied up her hair. It was rare for her to be bare-faced and face the camera.
"This is frontline reporter Sun Zeli reporting for you.
After the earthquake, the frontline headquarters set up several sharp knife squads to explore the terrain and rescue the injured victims. After a night of trekking … Now that I've sprained my ankle, I can't follow the team forward. The team of doctors from the Imperial Capital Hospital is still moving towards the center of the earthquake to rescue … "
She habitually smiled in front of the camera, but when she smiled, tears flowed down even more violently.
The cameraman immediately switched the camera. In the picture, more than ten people stepped on the gravel at the edge of the lake and continued —
Forward!
Forward!
Forward!!!
"The road ahead is more dangerous than the one we came from," Sun Zeli cried and said, "But …"
As she spoke, a figure in the advancing team slipped and a mountain rock collapsed. He did not step steadily and slid directly into the lake.
Before Sun Zeli could cry out in alarm, a hand grabbed the person's collar and pulled him up with one arm.
She did not know how deep the lake below was. If he fell in, even if he knew how to swim, the chances of him coming back up were not high.
Sun Zeli knew all of this.
Just a little more … It was really just a little more.
The cameraman was also stunned. He was indeed a military doctor. Lifting a person with one arm was not something an ordinary person could do.
"Be careful," Zheng Ren patted Su Yun's shoulder and said calmly.
Su Yun was also scared out of his wits. At that time, his feet slipped and he struggled for a while. However, he did not expect the ground to not be strong at all. He could not get up from the ground with his strength. When he used all his strength, a rock slipped down. His feet were in the air, and he was completely stunned.
He looked down with lingering fear. The lake water was dirty, and he did not know what was in it.
He was almost far away from the Nobel Prize. Su Yun smiled. At this time, he was still thinking about the Nobel Prize. How deep was his resentment?
This scene was recorded by the cameraman.
Zheng Ren and Su Yun did not know, and neither did Zhao Yunlong. They continued forward, bypassed the lake, and disappeared into the fog.
The road became more and more difficult. As far as the eye could see, the surrounding environment was even more chaotic than when they first entered the mountain.
The entire terrain had changed. Zhao Yunlong even determined that there was a small river here from the military map. The river had also changed its course. It made a big circle in the distance and flowed away.
The shock, surprise, and other emotions had long disappeared. At this moment, everyone was numb. There was only one thought in their hearts —
Forward!
Forward!
Forward!
…
…
Note 1: During the New Year, watch Da Liu's' Wandering Earth '. Countless teams rushed to the location of the engine. The situation at that time was similar to this. Countless teams explored in all directions, looking for a possible path.
