"According to the latest news, at one o'clock in the morning last night, a magnitude 6.8 earthquake occurred in the mountainous areas of Lingyun County and Fengshan County..."
"The news is out, Yunting ge, look quickly, it's really an earthquake in the mountains of Lingyun County and Fengshan County..."
At this time, Qi Miaomiao was holding her phone and saw the latest news report. Gu Luotang, Song Sinan, and Zhang Xiaoyu squeezed over, while Wan Yunting also took out his phone and was watching the news with Jiang Yichun, Li Chengde, Huang Jingshan, and others. A reporter was broadcasting live from the disaster area in Lingyun County.
The reporter held a microphone, pointed to a mountain behind him that was shaking violently, and shouted into the camera: "The mountains behind us are now cracking due to the earthquake, and many mountains have experienced landslides, causing mudslides."
"But fortunately, we had already evacuated many residents in the mountainous areas when the earthquake struck. However, there are still people in many villages who did not have time to evacuate, so they may be in danger of landslides..."
"Oh my god..."
Looking at a mountain behind the female reporter in the video, half of the mountain cracked and instantly collapsed with a roar. From a distance, giant rocks rolling down from the landslide directly crushed a construction vehicle carrying soil.
"Quick, everyone, hurry up! The mountain here could crack at any moment, hurry up..."
In the video, a rescue team was urging the news reporters to evacuate quickly. The scene switched back to the anchor, who was reporting with a serious expression throughout the night on the disaster situation in the mountainous areas of Lingyun County and Fengshan County, "Due to the crustal movement in the mountains caused by the earthquake, collapses have occurred, resulting in severe natural disasters. Now, hundreds of thousands of residents in Lingyun County and Fengshan County are in grave danger..."
Wan Yunting, Jiang Yichun, Li Chengde, Gu Luotang, Song Sinan, and the others watching this news felt their hearts grow heavy. They never expected that this earthquake would be centered on the border mountains of Lingyun County and Fengshan County, causing a magnitude 6.8 earthquake. Many mountains in the area collapsed and fractured, leading to landslides that instantly buried the villages at the foot of the mountains.
Such a major natural disaster has drawn the attention of the entire nation. Meanwhile, the country has dispatched transport planes overnight to fly rescue teams to Lingyun County and Fengshan County.
Due to the landslides, all roads, large and small, in the two counties were destroyed, making it extremely difficult to enter the disaster areas by ground. Therefore, the country mobilized transport planes, trying every means to fight against the ruthless natural disaster and save lives.
At the same time, many charitable organizations across the country also mobilized, contributing manpower and supplies. Han Shumei had just called Wan Yunting to say that she had cooperated with the largest charitable organization in Lingnan Province to purchase supplies for disaster relief...
Wan Yunting and the others could only gather in an open area at the entrance of the hotel. There were several aftershocks, and it wasn't until six o'clock in the morning when there were no more aftershocks and the danger was lifted that the police allowed everyone to return to the hotel.
Back in the hotel, Wan Yunting and the others didn't have time to rest. They quickly packed their belongings because Ma Qingsheng and Quan Gui called to say that the medical supplies transported by Gu Yuanbai had arrived in Nanshi.
"Has everyone packed?"
Wan Yunting carried a backpack and helped Jiang Yichun carry a piece of luggage. He looked at Gu Luotang, Qi Miaomiao, Huang Jingshan, Shen Yingrui, Ding Zipeng, and the other twenty-eight people in their team. They had all packed their personal belongings and gathered in the hotel corridor. "Yes..."
Wan Yunting nodded and said, "The medical supplies prepared by Chairman Gu have arrived downstairs, and the vehicles are here. We'll head down now to the disaster area. If anyone wants to back out, I'll give you one last chance. We won't force anyone!"
Zhao Lusi, Chi Wenhui, Lu Xin Jue, and Zhang Nong looked at each other. Their eyes were firm as they looked at Jiang Yichun and Wan Yunting. Huang Jingshan shouted, "What the hell are you talking about? I'm going to help with disaster relief."
"Yes, we want to help with disaster relief, we're not afraid!" Qi Miaomiao said with determination, her almond eyes wide.
"We won't back down, we're going to help with disaster relief..."
Suddenly, everyone gritted their teeth and shouted loudly, expressing their firm resolve to go to disaster relief.
Jiang Yichun and Li Chengde showed gratified smiles at this scene. Wan Yunting's gaze was firm, and he nodded with a smile, "Good, then everyone follow me downstairs, and we'll head to the disaster area with the supplies to save people."
"Let's go..."
So, everyone followed Wan Yunting and Jiang Yichun downstairs and saw three large trucks and a minibus waiting downstairs.
The three large trucks were carrying medical supplies, and banners were hung on the trucks with the words "Lingnan Traditional Chinese Medicine Association Medical Rescue Supplies!"
Seeing this scene, Shen Yingrui, Miao Yanzheng, Zhao Lusi, and Chi Wenhui felt their blood boil, as if they were soldiers preparing to go to battle.
"Elder Jiang, Vice Chairman Wan..."
Quan Gui and Ma Qingsheng greeted Wan Yunting and Jiang Yichun and said, "The supplies are in place, let's set off quickly."
"Okay."
Wan Yunting nodded and waved to Gu Luotang and the others behind him, "Everyone, get in the car quickly."
Shen Yingrui and Miao Yanzheng nodded, and everyone got into the minibus...
They all traveled light, carrying only their personal belongings and no extra items.
Even the girls like Zhao Lusi and Chi Wenhui didn't bring any cosmetics, and like the boys, they carried a backpack.
Because they were going to the disaster area for rescue, not for rural support work, Wan Yunting didn't let them bring any unnecessary items.
"Here, this is the breakfast I bought for everyone..."
After getting in the car, Quan Gui and Ma Qingsheng distributed the purchased buns and breakfast milk to everyone. In this special period, naturally, no one said anything about being picky. They all smiled and said, "Thank you..."
Wan Yunting took a big bite of the meat bun and asked Quan Gui, "How long will it take us to reach Lingyun County?"
Quan Gui said, "It takes more than three hours from Nanshi to Baishi, and then more than an hour to Lingyun County."
"That far."
Zhang Xiaoyu said while eating, "That means we won't get there until noon."
"Yes."
Ma Qingsheng said, "Due to the earthquake last night, I heard that all the roads leading to Lingyun County and Fengshan County were destroyed. The rescue teams entered the disaster areas on foot. However, the rescue teams are also urgently opening up passages. I don't know if the passage will be open by noon. If not, we'll have to enter on foot first."
Wan Yunting and Jiang Yichun listened and nodded. After finishing his breakfast, he turned to everyone and said, "Alright everyone, after finishing breakfast, get some rest. When we reach the disaster area, that's when our hard work begins, so no one can be tired."
"Mmm..."
Everyone nodded and said no more. After eating, they closed their eyes to rest.
Because of the earthquake last night, everyone stayed outside for a whole night and basically didn't get much sleep. It was a good opportunity to rest for a few hours on the way to the disaster area in Lingyun County...
However, Wan Yunting still quietly asked Quan Gui and Ma Qingsheng about the important situation in the disaster area...
Meanwhile, in an office.
"Are everyone here?"
Yao Xiangming walked in and looked at Wei Xiuqi, the president of the Jiang Province Traditional Chinese Medicine Association, and the association members who had all arrived. "Director Yao, all the members of our Jiang Province Traditional Chinese Medicine Association are here, and we await your command."
"Very good."
Yao Xiangming looked at everyone present. He said solemnly, "Now that the Lingnan Traditional Chinese Medicine Society has formed a medical rescue team, we cannot fall behind. We will now form a Traditional Chinese Medicine Association rescue medical team and immediately set off for the disaster area to carry out rescue operations. Does anyone have anything else to say?"
Everyone in the room looked at each other, but no one spoke.
Seeing their lazy demeanor, and some even showing reluctant expressions, made Yao Xiangming frown. His eyes became sharp, and he reprimanded sternly, "This is a task assigned by the Chairman. You all know the consequences if we don't do it well!"
"Director Yao is right, we will definitely complete the task."
Immediately, Wei Xiuqi flatteringly stepped forward with a smile to agree, and then turned to the others and shouted loudly, "What are you all still waiting for? Everyone go out and get ready to go to Lingyun County for disaster relief immediately."
These people looked at each other and had no choice but to go out, leaving Yao Xiangming and Wei Xiuqi in the conference room.
