Chapter 1627: Chapter 818: Racing Against Death_2

Now it seems this is the key issue. There’s no need to hesitate, everyone must come up with a more comprehensive plan.

"Let’s go!"

In the end, Lin Beichen also took the plunge.

The situation began to change.

However, during the descent, Lin Beichen noticed something strange gazing at him from afar.

"What is that thing?"

But he didn’t have time to investigate, perhaps this was just a new situation unfolding.

As the falling speed accelerated, Lin Beichen gradually could see the ground clearly, the scene was truly unbearable.

He quickly pulled the parachute, and the descent speed instantly slowed down, allowing him to see the surroundings in full view.

Aside from a few simple buildings, nearly everything else was rubble. This was a town with a long history, now unrecognizable in many places.

"It still seems too backward," Lin Beichen sighed helplessly.

When he slowly landed at a location, he found it was one of the few safe areas.

During the roll call, Lin Beichen realized one person was missing.

"Where’s Falcon gone?"

Falcon was the code name for a soldier. Soon, Falcon appeared, accompanied by another person.

"Who are you?" Lin Beichen looked at the stranger with a puzzled expression.

At this moment, the person stepped out from the side.

"I’m Lin Qing, and this is the armor equipment I brought. Let’s not talk about it now; this warrior would’ve fallen into the dangerous area of steel and concrete without my help, that place is treacherous."

"Thank you!"

Falcon looked depressed.

"Report to the captain, I embarrassed you. But there was really nothing I could do, a strong gust hit just after I opened the parachute."

"No worries!" Lin Beichen knew that those who could jump from such a height were undoubtedly capable.

The next steps became simple and clear; if they couldn’t overcome this difficulty, the subsequent pressure would only intensify.

"Alright, let’s observe a bit more. Maybe there’s still a chance in the end; this is the most feasible plan for now."

In such a situation, the gradual success by everyone could potentially diminish the final effects.

Indeed, the situation turned out to be just like that. Furthermore, the way things were done would change accordingly, and the final requirements naturally wouldn’t be the same. There was no need to dwell on this.

"Let’s commence the action then."

Lin Beichen led the team to the front of the town, and the sight was indeed heartbreaking.

"Falcon, where is your home?"

Due to the rubble all around, Falcon couldn’t tell where he was, everything seemed unbelievable.

"Let’s head to that square; at least there we can see a few buildings."

It was truly a distressing situation.

Lin Beichen led the team to the site; after spotting the person in charge, he was rendered speechless.

"So many people are buried underneath."

"Yeah! I didn’t want to say this, but it can’t be helped. This place is underdeveloped; we’ve been fortifying houses and other facilities, but funding is limited, so progress is slow. What you see now, we barely started redoing earlier..." The person in charge looked disheartened.

"Let’s put that aside for now; I need your help to build a temporary airport nearby, so supplies can be transported in. Moreover, we need to establish a hospital in the area. I know everyone is working hard here, but for the rescue effort to proceed, large equipment or small devices need to come in first, the supply of materials must keep up."

"Understood!"

The person in charge said no more and immediately started working with the others. However, many on site appeared extremely anxious.

"Comrade, our children are buried in that school; can you help rescue them? We’re very worried."

Everyone turned back and saw the school had become ruins, this only heightened concern.

"Oh no!"

Lin Beichen realized that the focus of the rescue must now be on the school.

"Our first team has only nine people. From now on, I need four people to go to the school immediately for detection, starting small-scale rescue. The other five remain here to help build the airport; we must race against time to get people transported over first."

"Understood!"

Everyone swiftly split up for action. Just then, a call came from the headquarters.

"What’s the exact situation?"

After hearing the update, the headquarters was greatly shocked, not expecting the severity. Logistics faced many challenges.

"I mean, material supplies can wait a bit; it’s not the priority. The key is people; we need more people involved in the rescue, preferably bringing simple devices, forming a rescue scale is the first step."

"Alright!"

Lin Beichen just hung up the call when the person appeared again, followed by a group of armored individuals.

"No need to worry, focus on the rescue. This is the robot team I brought, which I can command."

Currently, the elementary school is of utmost urgency. Once the four people arrived at the scene, they immediately commenced the rescue operation. Rescue dogs roamed corners, alerting incessantly, indicating numerous kids were trapped beneath the rubble.

"Preliminary exploration suggests there are at least several hundred children inside, and the number could be increasing. Due to our lack of equipment, my dogs keep barking non-stop."

Hearing this, Lin Beichen felt a sharp pain in his heart.

"You guys stay here, and quickly build the temporary airport. I must hurry to check the school."

Arriving at the school, Lin Beichen was stunned by what he saw. How could this still be a school? The originally five-story building was now a heap, bricks piled high.

To the children trapped below, this is undoubtedly a massive torment.

Currently, perhaps only the kids in PE class, and the office head about to head to the office are still alive.

The anxious office head ran up to Lin Beichen as soon as he appeared.

"Comrade, in any way possible, you must get my child out! These children are our future hope; we must give the parents an answer. They’ve entrusted their kids to us; we cannot let them down!"

Looking at the office head’s anxious expression, Lin Beichen knew this wasn’t his fault.

"Rest assured, we’ll do everything we can to save the children first. Meanwhile, other tasks will proceed simultaneously. I’ve informed headquarters to send people for immediate rescue, with materials following later."

"If that’s possible, it would be wonderful."

The situation was indeed extremely urgent, yet the armored troops on site couldn’t commence immediate rescue.

Facing such a massive rubble, direct rescue was very challenging.

Thankfully, the airport was established at a critical moment, and personnel started transportation via the facility.

During the construction of the airport, many troops were already on standby in helicopters. Once the airport was ready, they landed one after another.

"Lin Beichen! We’re all from the Seventh District. From now on, everyone follows your orders; this is the commander’s order."

"Okay! Listen, the primary issue now is the rubble; all our children are trapped there!"

Hearing this, everyone was shocked.

"All team leaders listen; from now on, conduct rescue operations in your way, divided by areas, self-coordinating. But remember, every child rescued must be alive and conscious, and you must know the child’s name."

"Understood!"

Now it’s a race against time, battling death. Lin Beichen stood there, deeply worried about the children’s safety; this was not a matter to be taken lightly.

Unexpectedly, the office head knelt down in front of everyone.

"What’s this for?"

Lin Beichen was startled.
