Fire Chief vs. Surgeon: A Tale of Relentless Pursuit-Chapter 786: The Little One is So Well-behaved
A group of people was excited:
"Brother Mao, should we go in?"
"Why the rush? Follow the orders!"
They didn’t dare to act on their own.
At the rescue site, the highest-ranking officer was present, even if Jiang Ye was there, they still had to obey orders.
The vanguard troop that went ahead to scout had just returned:
"Leader, we can’t get through ahead!"
"What? Can’t get through?"
"Yes, we need to clear a path first; it’s all blocked around."
The commander furrowed his brows and then waved his hand decisively:
"Clear it, get the excavator up here right now!"
"Yes!"
However, even if the excavator was to be brought up, it would take quite some time.
After all, this was nearly at the top of the mountain, the excavator had to carve out a path from below.
....
At this moment, several helicopters were circling persistently in the sky overhead.
"Old Jiang, have you confirmed the exact location?"
Jiang Ye’s eyes, fixated on the dashboard, were particularly sharp:
"The visibility is too low; I can only determine the approximate area around us."
It should be noted that the helicopter Jiang Ye was piloting had just been brought back from the aviation exhibition in Province D and was being used for the first time.
It was much more advanced than other old models, but unfortunately, it still couldn’t pinpoint the exact range.
Humans’ creations really weren’t sufficient in the face of nature.
"News just came from below; they said it’s impassable, it’s all blocked and they need to clear a path."
After hearing this through the headset, Jiang Ye grew even more worried.
Below might still be out of sight, but from up in the air, the helicopter pilot could clearly see that it was about to rain heavily!
The clouds were too thick, once it started raining, there was no telling when it would stop.
Once it rained, the dangers on the mountain could escalate dramatically.
So, Jiang Ye was almost frantically worried, alright?
Especially after hearing what his old teammate had said, he wished he could just grab a parachute and jump down.
Unfortunately, he still couldn’t.
All his thoughts had to be kept in check.
Unless an order came through.
"Old Jiang, trust everyone!"
Jiang Ye wasn’t distrusting his comrades; on the battlefield, one could entrust their life to each other—how could he not trust them?
This time, it mainly involved Lu Jing, making it truly difficult for him to stay calm.
"Understood."
Time ticked by second by second. In the woods, Lu Jing and her team had nearly burned through all their firewood.
"That should be enough, just wait now."
"Ah? That’s it?"
Lu Jing pointed at the stack of firewood:
"We’ve burned quite a lot; those who need to see it will see it."
If not, there was nothing they could do.
However, there had been planes circling overhead all along; presumably, they had been spotted.
It was just unclear why the ground rescue team hadn’t arrived yet.
Yu and the village elder exchanged glances, thereafter both sat quietly on the ground, no longer tending to the fire.
Everyone’s posture was similar; propping their hands under their chins, but their eyes kept scanning all around.
Despite their hopes, they didn’t bring the people, but brought down the rain instead.
"Quick, into the tent."
"Collect the stuff."
The rain fell too swiftly, without any prior soft-footed indications.
Some of them were drenched before they could take cover.
Ah...
"Are you alright, Doctor Lu?" 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂
Lu Jing shook her head:
"I’m fine."
I must commend the little one inside; truly so well-behaved, hasn’t stirred at all.
If the little one had been restless, Lu Jing might have suffered even more.
The rain had already started, many movements on the ground were restricted, and the excavator couldn’t advance further; the mountainside was too soft, it would collapse immediately upon mounting it.
