Outside the alley.
The people from the Street Office surrounded Dong Xuebing, who had escaped death.
"Director, are you alright?" Zhou Yanru asked. "Are you injured?"
Dong Xuebing took a deep breath. "I'm fine. What's the situation now? What are the casualties? "
Zhou Yanru replied anxiously. "We can't contact the District or the Street Office. All the lines are cut, and we don't know what's going on now!"
"Are there any residents in the alley?"
"They had been moved away, and the rest are all here." Peng Gang replied.
"Yes. I had asked everyone, and there is no one in this alley."
"Good!" Dong Xuebing thought to himself. Luckily, they had moved the people away in time. If not, it will be a disaster. He looked at the panicking and distracted workers around him and shouted. "Everyone from the Street Office, listen up. This is only the first wave, and there will be more. I know all of you are worried about your families now. If you are worried about your parents, you can leave now. I will not force you to stay. If your family is in the shelter, you can stay. This is the time when the people need us! Every one of you is here! Come with me to save them! "
The people from the Street Office were shocked. They did not expect Chief Dong to say this. We can leave now?
Peng Gang's face changed. "Director! All the phone lines and traffic are cut! We don't know when the rescue team will arrive! We can only rely on ourselves now! Saving the people is more important! "
An officer replied. "That's right. How can we leave now?!"
A staff member who is worried about his family said. "Let's save them together! Save the people first! "
"Bullshit!" Dong Xuebing stared at them coldly. "Are your parents not the people? Are your children not the people? If you can't even protect your own family, why are you talking about other things?! " Dong Xuebing had always been humane and did not force everyone to stay. "I will say this again! Those who are worried about your family, go back now! After you settle your family matters, report back to me! "
Zhou Yanru looked to the side and said. "Xiao Wang, your wife and child are staying in Liu Xiang Estate. Go back now. "
"But I …" Xiao Wang's eyes turned red.
"Go." Zhou Yanru said.
Xiao Wang bit his lips and looked at Dong Xuebing. "Thank you, Director! Wait for me to see my child! I'll be right back! "He turned around and ran towards the south.
Immediately, a few more people on the street left.
Dong Xuebing nodded and did not dare to waste any more time. He starts to assign tasks. "Chief Zhou, it is not safe here. You and the rest of the staff will bring the civilians to the shelters and act according to the situation. I will leave this task to you. You must ensure the safety of the civilians!"
Zhou Yanru's expression turned serious. "Yes!" She turned to the hundreds of residents and said, "Everyone, follow me!"
Many people in the crowd looked at each other, and many young men stepped forward. "Chief Dong, I can also help."
"Count me in too!"
"Me too. Let's save them together!"
Six or seven local residents stood up. They were all people who had just been saved from the brink of death by the people from the street office.
This made Dong Xuebing see the good side of human nature. He shouted: "Good! Then I'll leave it to everyone! All of you, evacuate with the others! He saw a dangerous crowd on the road! If I can help, I will! "
Zhou Yanru quickly left with the rest of the people. There are more than a hundred of them.
Only Dong Xuebing, Peng Gang, and 4 other officers from the station were left.
The roads outside were filled with debris, and the entire street was blocked. Their cars could not drive out, and they could only walk.
Dong Xuebing looked at the destroyed streets and felt angry. His anger was stuck in his throat, and he could not let it out.
"Let's go!" Dong Xuebing looked at the few people left and said. "The west side must be badly affected by the disaster! Let's follow the road to the west! We can save as many as we can! "
Peng Gang and the rest quickly followed. "The six of us … I'm afraid …"
Dong Xuebing did not say anything. He knew there were too few of them, but they could not contact the district and could not call for help. They can only rely on themselves.
On the road, residents in twos and threes were panicking.
Peng Gang shouted at them. "Go to Guangming Park! Don't run around! Don't get too close to the buildings! There is a shelter there! Go and wait for help! "
Many people heard what Dong Xuebing said and did as they were told.
Suddenly, a high-pitched voice screamed. "Help! Help! "
Dong Xuebing and the rest looked towards the direction of the voice and saw a woman kneeling in front of a collapsed shop. She was digging with her hands.
Dong Xuebing and the rest rushed over. "What's wrong?"
The woman saw them and cried. "Quick! Save my husband! He is buried! He is buried! "
The shop was not completely collapsed, and there was still some space inside. A few weak moans could be heard from the rubble. The man is still alive!
"Old Peng!" Dong Xuebing led the way. "Each of us takes one side!"
"… Yes!"
They only need to move the obstacles, and the man will be able to escape.
But when the few of them tried to move the wall above them, they realized they do not have enough strength. The wall is very thick and heavy, and Dong Xuebing and the rest did not bring any tools. It's impossible to move the wall above them.
The woman cried. "Da Wei! Hold on! Hold on! The people from the streets are here to save you! "
However, the moaning inside was getting softer and softer, and it looked like it was about to die.
Dong Xuebing let go of his dusty hands. "This cannot go on! We can't move it! "
Peng Gang was sweating profusely. "We don't have enough people! We still need to look for help! "
Suddenly, a few people ran over from the opposite side of the road. It looks like a family of three men and one woman.
Dong Xuebing quickly shouted at them. "Hey! Come over and help! There are people buried here! We can't move it! Everyone, help! "
The family tilted their heads to look at them, but they ignored them and continued running.
"F * * k!" Peng Gang and the rest of the officers cursed. Who are they to let someone die?!
The woman covered her face in despair. "Da Wei!"
What should we do?
What should we do?
Dong Xuebing was anxious and angry. "Old Peng, our station is just two streets away, right? Help Da Wei! I will go and look for help! "
Peng Gang replied. "This is a big earthquake, and everyone had gone to seek shelter. There might not be anyone in the station!"
"Don't worry about them. Talk to Da Wei and ask him to hold on a little longer!"
The roads were blocked, and there were many vehicles and overturned tricycles on the streets. A few collapsed buildings had blocked the road, and it was impossible to drive. Dong Xuebing's eyes landed on a bicycle abandoned by the side of the road. He immediately got on the bicycle and left.
Hurry!
I must make it in time!
Guangming Street Office was the only place other than Yan Tai County that had planned to evacuate the people. That's why there were not many people on the streets. Most of the people had been moved to a safe place in the morning or early in the morning.
Dong Xuebing used all his strength to run towards the police station two streets away.
Suddenly, a few people appeared in Dong Xuebing's sight. There were about seven to eight people in police uniforms standing there looking around anxiously.
Those uniforms were not from the station. They were from the District Public Security Bureau!
It was Deputy Bureau Chief Chu and a few other officers who were arrested by Dong Xuebing yesterday!
Dong Xuebing had asked Peng Gang to call the station to release them before the earthquake happened. But they were still there!
"Chief Chu!" Dong Xuebing shouted.
Deputy Bureau Chief Chu and the rest of the officers noticed Dong Xuebing on a bicycle.
Dong Xuebing quickly replied. "I had no choice but to handcuff all of you yesterday. Please forgive me if I had offended all of you."
Deputy Bureau Chief Chu looked at Dong Xuebing and sighed. "Why are you still talking about this? What's wrong with you? Why aren't you seeking shelter? "
"I had organized a few officers from the station to rescue the residents! Now, a resident is trapped! We can't save him! I am looking for help! "Dong Xuebing looked at them, thinking of what to say.
But Deputy Bureau Chief Chu waved his hand. "Chief Dong, don't say anything. Let's go! Save the residents first! "
When the police officers behind him heard this, they immediately picked up a few bicycles that had been abandoned by the people on the street.
Two minutes later, Dong Xuebing and Deputy Bureau Chief Chu arrived at the shop.
Peng Gang and the officers were stunned when they saw the officers from the District Public Security Bureau. But the situation was critical, and they did not say anything. All of them held onto the wall.
"One! Two! Move! "
"One! Two! Move! "
There was a loud bang! The wall was finally moved by the officers!
Dong Xuebing nodded and lowered his head. He slowly carried the bleeding man out of the room.
"Da Wei!" The woman hugged her husband and was sobbing.
The man weakly patted the woman's back and looked at Dong Xuebing and the rest. "Thank … … Thank you … …"
Only then did the woman react. She knelt on the ground in excitement and kowtowed heavily. "Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! "
Deputy Bureau Chief Chu was standing nearby and quickly helped her up. "Don't thank me." He then turned to one of the officers. "Xiao Zhou, bring them to the hospital to treat their wounds! Can you do it alone? "
"Leave it to me!" Xiao Zhou replied.
After rescuing the man, Dong Xuebing and the rest were exhausted. They sat on the ground, panting. The two groups of officers looked at each other, and the grudges between them seemed to have disappeared. No one mentioned anything about the arrest yesterday.
Actually, the officers from the station could no longer hate Dong Xuebing. If Dong Xuebing had not stopped them, they would have chased the residents back to their homes. The consequences would be disastrous!
The Guangming Street Office's arrest had saved them!
If the residents were not evacuated, many more would have died!
