"Old Zhao, we are making final preparations for tomorrow's rescue operation."
"Rescue operation?" Although he had already predicted it, when he heard it from Hu Xiaodong's mouth, Old Zhao was still stunned. Old Zhao repeated noncommittally: "Xiao Hu, you, you mean, you are going to school tomorrow. ...Save people?”
He nodded with a smile. Although the action was full of danger, Hu Xiaodong didn't want to put pressure on Old Zhao at this moment: "Yes, Uncle Zhao, I'm sorry to tell you now. I was worried about your health before, so..."
Before Hu Xiaodong could finish speaking, Lao Zhao raised his right hand and waved it repeatedly: "It's okay, it's okay, Xiao Hu, look at what you said. These days you have to be busy with school affairs and take care of the safety of the station. It's me who should say sorry. , By the way, when do you plan to take action?"
"We will set off after Xiao Wang and the others have completed the final inspection of the car."
"Okay! I, I'll go into the house and get ready, you guys wait until I get off!" After confirming the time for action, Lao Zhao only had one idea in his mind, which was to quickly pack the necessary equipment and then head to school with the motorcade.
For several days, Lao Zhao had been waiting for this moment. Now that the opportunity had finally come, how could he miss it.
It's just that Lao Zhao is so anxious to go to school, but Hu Xiaodong has no intention of taking him there.
The reason is the same: caring leads to chaos.
Let’s not talk about whether Lao Sai will be in action because he is overly concerned about doing things that are not in line with the safety of the team.
His current physical condition alone makes him unfit to participate in this important task.
so……
"Uncle Zhao, you'd better not go on this mission." Hu Xiaodong said in a low voice. He had no choice but to understand how much Old Zhao wanted to go to school. It was precisely because of his understanding that Hu Xiaodong realized how cruel his words were to Lao Zhao.
Sure enough, after listening to Hu Xiaodong's words, Lao Zhao frowned, and his original joyful expression gradually became solemn: "Why can't I go?"
The words almost popped out from between his teeth, and Zhao Yunhai looked at Hu Xiaodong angrily.
This was the first time that Hu Xiaodong saw Lao Zhao so vicious. You should know that the man in front of him was usually quite kind. but now……
"Uncle Zhao, don't get excited. You haven't slept for a few nights. It's not good for you to join the mission in this body. It's not good for everyone. Don't worry, this rescue operation is personally directed by Lao Lin and Lao Xu. We have done a detailed job Plans and preparations. You see, there are Xiao Wang and Xiao Luo in terms of cars. In terms of equipment, there are "China" and "Guo" working on it. The operational staff, including Jian Dao and his brothers, are participating, so... just keep it in mind. With these people carrying out this mission, what problems can't be solved? Haha, just rest well at the station. I promise!! I promise to bring Lina back to you intact."
Although the words are very beautiful, all the operators participating in the mission know how high the risks may be encountered during this operation.
Hu Xiaodong had begun to worry about how he would apologize to Lao Zhao if he failed to fulfill his promise to "bring the person back intact."
After all, Lao Zhao is in his 50s. How could I not understand the meaning of Hu Xiaodong's words?
But at the critical moment of his daughter's life and death, she was classified as an "unsettling factor" by the team and excluded from the operation. This was really hard for Zhao to accept.
However, it was difficult to accept it. Lao Zhao still knew the reason why Hu Xiaodong did this, and the other party also considered it comprehensively from the perspective of action.
Maybe my current state is really not suitable for participating in the task.
After thinking about it, Old Zhao sighed lightly: "Okay Xiao Hu, I will follow the organization's arrangements and I will not participate in this rescue. As for Lina... I, I will leave it to you."
After saying this, Lao Zhao bowed solemnly. His sudden move made Hu Xiaodong stunned.
"Old, Old Zhao, you. What are you doing! Come on, get up!" Hu Xiaodong stretched out his right hand and quickly straightened Old Zhao's body.
Lao Zhao's move undoubtedly put further pressure on Hu Xiaodong.
After sending Lao Zhao back to the house and handing him over to Wei Yang, Hu Xiaodong walked out of the room. Then he looked up to the sky and let out a long breath, thinking: God, if you can hear me, please protect us from going smoothly tomorrow.
"Brother Hu, the car has been inspected and is ready to go." Xiao Wang's greeting came to his ears, and Hu Xiaodong immediately waved his head to get rid of distracting thoughts in his mind. Then he took out his handstand. Shen Sheng ordered: "Attention all units, all combatants must gather at the entrance of the village immediately."
As the radio waves were transmitted, the survivors who had been prepared for a long time came out of the house one after another.
After meeting at the entrance of the village, Hu Xiaodong gave a short pre-war speech.
That's all, everyone boarded the car and set off, disappearing into the night with a rumble.
Taking into account various possible emergencies, the survivors felt that it would be more appropriate to go to various positions as soon as possible.
In this way, even if they do encounter unpredictable troubles, they will at least have enough time to solve them.
Luo Baochun, Shen Lian, and Li Zhong separated from the main force 2 kilometers away from the school. Their group was mainly responsible for the operations in the kiln factory. The remaining members of the rescue team, led by Hu Xiaodong, continued towards the target school.
"Xiao Hu, you are here!" Upon arriving at the location, Lin Junfu, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately made contact with the escort vehicle behind him.
After a while, Hu Xiaodong and other rescue team members who had stopped the car finally met with Lao Lin and others.
After a brief exchange of greetings, Hu Xiaodong immediately reported the current team preparation situation to Lao Lin, and got in touch with Luo Baochun and his team who had left before.
After learning that the other party was already in place, everyone heaved a sigh of relief.
Undoubtedly, all preparations of the rescue team are already in place. The only thing they have to do now is to wait for the arrival of dawn.
Taking advantage of the long midnight, the survivors ate quickly to replenish energy.
Especially Li Zhong, Li Guo, Wang Zhongyu, and Luo Baochun, they have been working non-stop for the past two days in order to prepare the vehicles and equipment needed for the operation.
As for Lao Lin, Hu Xiaodong, and Tang Xiaoquan, they went through the process from beginning to end again regarding the next actions.
In order to identify and eliminate possible problems and dangers before the action begins.
Lao Zhao was sitting on the chair and stool, his frowning face filled with anxiety.
Wei Yang thoughtfully handed him a cup of hot tea. She didn't say anything, just found a stool and sat in the corner.
The girl knows that at this time, silent companionship is the best comfort.
Time passed by minute by second. For all the survivors, the night was long and difficult.
No one knows what will be waiting for them after tonight. The only thing they can do is to act according to their own plan as much as possible.
After 5 hours of waiting, dawn came unexpectedly! ! (To be continued.)
