Controlling the Five Thunders and the Two Worlds

Chapter 284 Two Taoist Priests Arrive at the Accident Scene
Mengyuan is a coal mine.

The accident site has been cordoned off, and all staff, rescue workers, and logistics personnel are in place. The person in charge arrived early this morning and, with bloodshot eyes, looked at the various professionals, asking, "What's the situation now?"

"The earthquake-induced landslides severed cables and communications, and we lost contact with those below!"

"After investigation, at least three serious landslides were found in the 300-meter passage from the ground to the underground, making the rescue extremely difficult."

"At this time, the supporting structure is fragile. If large-scale mechanical operations are carried out, it is easy to cause a secondary collapse. Moreover, the rescue itself is very dangerous and will take more time."

How long?

"Even if we reach the nearest area, it may take more than five days."

"Five days? The golden rescue time is seventy-two hours!"

A silence fell over the crowd. Someone said helplessly, "The last time the slope collapsed at the open-pit mine, the rescue was not as difficult as this one. The rescue took more than five days. This is much more difficult than the building collapse rescue."

"I didn't know how difficult the rescue would be!" the chief coordinator slammed his fist on the table. "But there are 132 people trapped inside!"

The fire and rescue leader, dressed in red, stood up and saluted. "Report! We have completed the shift arrangements and will provide 24-hour uninterrupted rescue services. In case of danger, the team leader will go first. We will definitely complete the rescue mission in the shortest possible time!"

The person in charge took a deep breath and then said, "Yandu just called and asked us to set up a campsite with twenty tents, and carpets are not allowed inside the tents."

The rescue leader frowned and said, "The staff rest area has already been set up, and the trapped people will be taken away immediately after being rescued. Why are we setting up tents? And we're not even allowed to lay carpets. What kind of requirement is that?"

"I don't know, but the person in charge from Yandu will arrive in two hours and wants us to get things done before he arrives." The person in charge shook his head, but still made the request.

"Yes!" The rescue leader could only agree unconditionally.

……

Two hours later, Zheng Hongsheng arrived at the accident site and found that the camp had been built and the tents had been set up. The person in charge and a group of direct supervisors came to report the current situation to him.

"Director Li, Director Zheng."

Although it was unclear why Yandu had sent two people in charge, the person in charge still dutifully reported the situation clearly and then said, "The rescue operation has begun, but the situation is indeed not optimistic. If we make any excessive movements and cause a secondary collapse, not only will the people trapped underground be in danger, but the rescuers will also be in danger."

The official person in charge, Li Huchao, knew Zheng Hongsheng's identity, and at this moment he couldn't help but look at Zheng Hongsheng and signal with his eyes.

Zheng Hongsheng took out his phone to check, and said, "They might not have..."

"Who are you? How did you get in?" a staff member suddenly asked from outside the tent. "Wait a minute, you can't go in here!"

Zheng Hongsheng's eyes lit up, and he took three steps in two, leaping to the tent entrance like a young man. There he saw Daoist Mingyu and Daoist Yanqi standing quietly not far away, stopped by the staff.

"Please come in quickly, two Taoist priests!" Zheng Hongsheng hurriedly slapped the staff's hands away and then invited the two Taoist priests into the tent. After the two Taoist priests entered the tent, he personally pulled down the tent flap.

Everyone: _?
Upon entering the tent, Zheng Hongsheng introduced Li Huchao, the person in charge of the Yandu incident, and the local person in charge of Mengyuan to Daoist Mingyu. Then he spoke about the current situation: "We have lost contact with the trapped people underground. Moreover, the underground structure is fragile, making the rescue extremely difficult. If there is too much disturbance, it could easily cause a secondary collapse."

Master Mingyu nodded, while Master Yanqi smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't trigger a secondary collapse. However, the underground area is too large and the structure is too complex. Divine sense can't extend too far. Do you have the approximate location of the trapped people here, or any detectors or similar equipment?" "Yes, yes, yes!" Zheng Hongsheng immediately pointed to an underground engineering map pasted on a movable board, "Most of them are in areas A, B, and C along this line, as well as work areas D and E."

There may still be scattered individuals in other areas, but we don't have that information yet. We also have life detectors here, which can detect individuals at a distance of three to eight meters, depending on the underground density.

Master Yanqi stared blankly at the instrument beside Zheng Hongsheng, and said incredulously, "Only three to eight meters?"

At this moment, besides Li Huchao, there were also the local chief person in charge and the two sub-person in charge of logistics and rescue in the tent. They were not fools. Seeing Zheng Hongsheng being respectful to the two Taoist priests, they were puzzled but did not say anything.

However, seeing that Daoist Yanqi did not understand common sense, the person in charge of the rescue still spoke up to explain, "In an open area, the effective detection distance can reach eighty meters, but there are too many obstacles underground, so it is difficult to detect too far by radar, sound waves, or infrared."

Daoist Yanqi nodded in gratitude, "I see, thank you for clearing up my doubts. But since the detection range is not far, then this old Daoist has no need for this thing."

It's only three to eight meters, even underground, not as far as his divine sense can detect.

“We just came over and saw that you had already set up the tents,” Daoist Yanqi said to Zheng Hongsheng. “In that case, I will go down to rescue the people.”

"Okay, okay!" Zheng Hongsheng nodded immediately. "I'll take you to the accident scene, and clear the area while we're at it..."

"No need." Daoist Yanqi shook his head, then nodded to the people present. The next moment, he suddenly lowered himself and disappeared into the ground.

Everyone: (⊙o⊙)!!
Everyone present was stunned. Even Li Huchao, who knew about the Taoist Research Institute, stared wide-eyed.

Zheng Hongsheng pursed his lips, gave Daoist Mingyu a resentful look, and then said to the other three people in the tent, "Don't tell anyone what you saw today!"

The person in charge and the two deputy persons in charge suddenly woke up and nodded like chickens pecking at rice.

joke!

What did they just see?
A living person disappeared underground in a flash?

The person in charge subconsciously stepped on the ground. This was a temporary command post, with the ground firmly planted on the yellow earth beneath their feet, dotted with scattered patches of grass.

It's definitely not magic!

Then they subconsciously looked at Master Mingyu.

Master Mingyu smiled and said to Zheng Hongsheng, "I'm going to those tents to see if any of the trapped people that Junior Brother Yanqi will rescue later are injured."

Zheng Hongsheng then realized the danger and said, "I'll call an ambulance to wait next to the camp!"

"No need," Master Mingyu shook his head. "My presence is sufficient."

Zheng Hongsheng paused for a moment before leading the way, saying, "I'll take you there!"
