    The situation in the disaster area is much more serious than Chen Xin initially expected.

    The earthquake caused the collapse and damage of many shelters. Electricity, water supply, and heating were all interrupted. Buildings collapsed and snow avalanches were everywhere in the city. The survivors who survived were either hiding in the ruins of the shelters and lingering.  He escaped from the shelter but was frozen to death in the cold wind.

    ¡°There are very few people like Li Xi who can persist until rescue arrives. They are lucky enough to be rescued.

    Compared with when we were in Linshi, the situation here is undoubtedly much worse.

    Linshi was just buried under snow, the city¡¯s heating and power supply were not interrupted, and the medical system collapsed simply because it was carrying too many patients.

    But the power supply network of the city in front of us has been paralyzed. Although the power plant is only slightly damaged, the local city government has organized emergency repairs. However, the power supply lines have been interrupted due to the earthquake, and even if the power plant is repaired, the power supply cannot be restored.

    Although each shelter has an isotope thermoelectric battery that can provide independent power supply, the damage to the shelter itself has caused most of the shelters to lose their power supply and heating capabilities.

    The survivors can only hide in the ruins that have not completely collapsed, using all possible means to maintain their body temperature, and try not to freeze to death before rescue arrives.

    But there is still little hope.

    A large number of survivors were buried under the collapsed ruins of the shelter. The abandoned buildings outside the shelter were also collapsing. The collapsed abandoned buildings also buried the entrance to the shelter. Without external rescue, these shelters would be destroyed.  Likely to become a ready-made grave.

    And time is running out. In the low temperature of tens of degrees below zero, lack of food and heating, these people cannot hold on for long.

    However, the rescue team brought by the eight arks has limited strength. Without heavy machinery, it will be difficult to dig out these collapsed buildings.

    How to rescue survivors buried under the rubble more quickly and effectively has become the primary problem facing the rescue team.

    The local city government has contacted the rescue team, and some of the manpower that can be organized is also cooperating with the rescue team in search and rescue, but it still feels like a drop in the bucket.

    At the temporary rescue point, the local deputy mayor was nervously discussing with Chen Xin and others how to carry out rescue operations.

    "The city government also has a batch of construction machinery that can be used in rescue operations." The deputy mayor looked sternly. While telling Chen Xin and others about the rescue forces that the city government could use, he also said worriedly: "  But the key is that manpower is tight. Your rescue team has 800 people. Currently, the city government can only organize more than 1,000 people, and 2,000 people are simply not enough!"

    Regarding this issue, the leader of the rescue team nodded in agreement, frowned and said: "There are too many collapsed shelters. Even if there are exoskeletons that can use the power of several people, there is no way to dig them out in a short time.  So many collapsed shelters! There must be more manpower or stronger means to dig out these shelters!"

    "Before we set off, the country was already organizing follow-up rescue forces. The Air Force will have transport planes carrying paratroopers to assist. I asked the captain of the Chenlong to contact the rear. They should be there before six o'clock tomorrow morning.  Arrival." Chen Xin reported the information he knew to others, while glancing at his watch: "It's 2 o'clock in the morning, there are still four hours."

    "Then let's do our best to carry out rescue first. It's such a cold weather and the earthquake has happened for so long. Many people may not be able to hold on anymore!" As a local official, the deputy mayor knows that even if the earthquake has happened for so long,  Some people who were able to survive at first would not be able to last long in such cold weather.

    Now is different from the past. In the past, the temperature was not so low, and survivors could persist for a relatively long time even without eating or drinking. But in a low temperature environment of tens of degrees below zero, it is very likely that people will die in a few hours.

    So now we must race against time to launch rescue.

    ¡°First put all the construction machinery into the rescue work, and also clear out an airborne field as much as possible to prepare for the airborne landing.¡± The team leader put forward the most feasible suggestion he could think of under the current circumstances.

    Chen Xin had no objection to this, nodded and added: "The rescue team we brought is equipped with an exoskeleton, which allows them to be divided into several teams to first conduct an inspection of the collapsed shelter and open up a rescue channel.

    Even if we can¡¯t rescue people, we still need to pass on the news that someone is coming to rescue them, put necessary food and water into the collapsed shelter, and give hope to the survivors!

      In addition, the tents we brought must be set up as soon as possible to accommodate the rescued survivors as much as possible!  "

    "I will arrange the resettlement work, and Vice Mayor Zhao will organize the manpower to carry out the rescue work!" After hearing what Chen Xin said, the leader of the rescue team made arrangements directly without any nonsense.

    "Okay, leave the rescue to me!" The deputy mayor agreed happily without being polite, and at the same time said to Chen Xin: "I'll leave it to you, Academician Chen, to ask for help from the superiors!"

    Of course Chen Xin would not refuse, and nodded in agreement: "No problem, I will contact the superior department to get more supplies and manpower."

    After discussing the division of labor, everyone started taking action separately without wasting time.

    But after walking out of the meeting tent, Chen Xin looked at the busy rescue point outside and the Ark hovering above his head. After thinking for a while, he suddenly said to the team leader: "Classify the survivors and let them take a rest if they are in better condition."  After that, I will also come to help rescue people. Even if I can't help dig out people, I can still help place new survivors at the rescue point.

    As for the survivors who are in more serious condition, let the small airship take them to the Ark, where the conditions are better and conducive to the recovery of these survivors.  Keeping them here at the rescue point will not only occupy space, but their mental state will also affect other survivors at the rescue point.  "

    "Okay, I'll make the arrangements. Academician Chen, please contact your superiors as soon as possible!" After listening to Chen Xin's suggestion, the team leader also felt that this was a good plan.

    The Ark has now unloaded most of its supplies, and the internal space is free. It is indeed possible to place some survivors who are in serious condition on it.

    If Ark needs to transport supplies, these survivors can be sent to the rear for treatment, which will not affect the use of Ark.

    After Chen Xin finished his suggestions, he also boarded a small airship and returned to the Chenlong Ark, intending to borrow the Ark's communication equipment to inquire about follow-up support.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
