Sha Zhu's Rebirth in the Courtyard: Starting with Hitting Someone in the Head

Chapter 414 The Meeting at Guanghan, A Lone Journey to Yingxiu

5:30 p.m., Guanghan Military Airport.

It has now been confirmed that the epicenter of the earthquake was in Yingxiu Town, Wenchuan County. The earthquake bureau released the news to the public at around 2:50 pm, but all roads were cut off due to large-scale landslides, and National Highways 317 and 213 were completely blocked.

Yingxiu is now a completely isolated island, with no information from the outside world about how many people have died or been injured there.

"Mr. He, this is our biggest problem right now." The colonel's brows were furrowed. "All the main forces are still heading this way, but the land route is completely blocked. The helicopters that flew in encountered turbulent waters and the dust kicked up by the canyon, forcing them to turn back. We're extremely anxious, but if the main forces can't get through, the machinery can't get in either."

As they were talking, the roar of an airplane engine came from the distant sky.

The charter flight from Hong Kong has arrived.

The plane landed on the runway and taxied to a stop. The cabin door opened, and Han Weiguo and Zhao Tieshan led the Zhonghuan Rescue Team out in a line.

Han Weiguo walked quickly to He Yuzhu and stood up straight.

"Boss, everyone has arrived safely."

"We'll fill the chartered plane to the brim with everything we can. The supplies list includes: 60 portable infrared life detectors, 200 night vision devices, 80 high-power walkie-talkies, and two large boxes of spare batteries. We also have 6 maritime satellite phones, 8 sets of Beidou-1 portable terminals, and 5 sets of portable satellite communication base stations."

A large quantity of first-aid supplies, including Western medicine for wound dressing, hemostasis, infection control, and shock treatment. Ten tons of compressed biscuits, bottled water, instant noodles, and canned food. Thermal blankets, waterproof sleeping bags, emergency flashlights, tents, a high-powered diesel generator, folding stretchers, and demolition tools—all fully equipped.

Zhao Tieshan directed the airport soldiers to unload large quantities of living supplies and search and rescue communication equipment from the plane, box by box. Soon, a large pile of supplies was stacked up on the side of the runway, which was quite impressive.

He Yuzhu's phone rang; it was He Xiao calling. He put it on speakerphone.

"Dad, here's the latest news. The Dongguan emergency warehouse has been unsealed, and all the heavy construction machinery was loaded onto trucks by 4 PM this afternoon and is heading out through the national disaster relief green channel."

"It's more than 1700 kilometers from Sichuan. The entire convoy consists of flatbed trailers carrying heavy equipment. Even if the convoy keeps running without stopping, and traffic police escort them through the area, it will still take at least two days and two nights to reach Sichuan."

The road conditions along the route are unknown, so an accurate arrival time cannot be guaranteed. The convoy will keep us updated on its location along the way, and I will inform the front lines immediately of any new developments.

"The other ten Jaguar helicopters took off from Hong Kong at around 3 a.m., and will refuel twice in Guilin and Guiyang. The entire journey will take about nine and a half hours, and they are expected to arrive at Guanghan Airport after midnight. The group's public donations and material disclosures have been completed, and coordination with emergency departments has been finalized."

"Okay." He Yuzhu hung up the phone.

The major nodded after listening, completely understanding; heavy engineering machinery convoys are inherently slow when traveling long distances. However, having this convoy rushing here day and night would greatly assist in the subsequent clearing of debris and road reopening.

He Yuzhu said to the colonel, "Once the ten Jaguar helicopters arrive, they will be handed over to the earthquake relief command for unified dispatch and will follow the instructions of the troops. We will only be responsible for the later maintenance."

The major's spirits lifted immediately upon hearing this. What they needed most right now were large transport helicopters; ten of them would solve most of their immediate problems.

Next, we discussed the location of the rescue base.

He Yuzhu said directly, "The forward base cannot be located in Guanghan; it's just a transit airport. The most suitable location is the open flat area next to the Zipingpu Dam. It's closest to Yingxiu, and once the land routes are open, helicopter take-off and landing, and the transfer of the wounded will all be convenient. Disaster victims fleeing from all directions will also gather in that direction."

The major exchanged a few words with the officers around him and nodded in agreement on the spot, confirming that this location was indeed the optimal solution at present.

But when it came to He Yuzhu's plan to sneak into Yingxiu alone tonight, the major immediately became anxious and firmly disagreed.

"Mr. He, this really won't do! There are landslides everywhere in the mountains at night, and aftershocks are constant; rocks could roll down at any moment. Given your status, if something happens to you, none of us can afford the responsibility."

All the soldiers present joined in the persuasion. In everyone's mind, this was an impossible task.

The young members of the He family stood to the side, seemingly unfazed. In He Tie's mind, their grandfather possessed unfathomable abilities. They believed he could complete the mission safely, and were even full of confidence.

The soldiers and rescue team members present all had worried expressions on their faces, feeling from the bottom of their hearts that this mission was fraught with peril.

He Yuzhu didn't explain much about the abilities of the Core Formation Realm, "I'll show you all what I can do."

As soon as he finished speaking, he exerted a little force with his feet and instantly darted out, covering more than ten meters in a flash.

There was a truck full of supplies next to me. With a light touch of my foot, I floated over it and landed silently.

Everyone was stunned; the scene was completely silent.

He Yuzhu landed back in front of everyone: "As you can see, my physical abilities and my ability to anticipate danger are completely different from ordinary people. Night is no different from daytime for me; I don't need night vision equipment. My primary task this time is to set up a portable satellite base station to transmit the real disaster situation and information inside Yingxiu back to the command center outside. Secondly, I will search for and rescue as many survivors as possible."

"I'm carrying a portable satellite base station, a maritime satellite phone, and an infrared life detector. I'll also be carrying some Western medicine first aid supplies so I can provide on-site first aid if I encounter any injured people on the road."

Having witnessed firsthand their undeniable skill, the major and his officers ultimately had no choice but to compromise. However, they repeatedly emphasized that in the event of a large-scale landslide, their own safety should be the priority.

Next, we began distributing the supplies.

Half of the large amount of supplies transported from Hong Kong by chartered plane were handed over to the military, while the other half were kept for the Zhonghuan Rescue Team's own use.

After the allocation was completed, He Yuzhu began to issue orders.

"Han Weiguo, Zhao Tieshan. You take the Zhonghuan Rescue Team and the ten children from the He family and set off immediately for Zipingpu to set up a forward rescue base."

He Tie and his team lack practical experience in disaster relief, but their physical fitness is excellent. They will follow your orders. Their main responsibilities include organizing supplies, searching nearby villages, maintaining order at the base, and working alongside the troops. The colonel will assign a platoon of soldiers to stay with them at the forward base. With the People's Liberation Army present, the disaster victims will trust them, and order will be easier to maintain.

After hearing this, He Tie and the others straightened their backs ramrod straight. The boy's eyes were heavy and resolute, understanding what he was about to face.

All the tasks assigned have been carried out in a timely manner.

To outsiders, He Yuzhu only carried a portable satellite base station, a maritime satellite phone, an infrared detector, and some Western medicine emergency supplies.

He Yuzhu's true intention was that he possessed spatial perception within a 30-meter range, more precise than an infrared detector. With his immense internal strength, he could easily lift slabs of floorboards and massive boulders with his bare hands. His traditional Chinese medicine skills, combined with his spatial perception, would be even more effective than hospital emergency care.

The storage space contains a massive amount of disaster relief supplies, traditional Chinese medicine, hydraulic demolition equipment, small bulldozers, and loaders.

Upon arriving in Wenchuan, they first found a large, intact warehouse that hadn't collapsed, and quietly released all the supplies and small machinery inside.

Upon encountering trapped survivors, he used his spatial awareness to pry open floors with his bare hands to rescue them. He estimates that once the main force arrives in Yingxiu, he will be able to rescue a large number of survivors.

He was formulating a plan in his mind.

Night fell over the mountains of western Sichuan. In the distance, deep in the mountains, Yingxiu was deathly silent. Thousands of people were buried under the rubble, and the outside world received no news of them.

He Yuzhu bid a brief farewell to the major and Han Weiguo and his entourage.

"You're in charge of guarding this base. Keep communications open and wait for me to send back a message from Yingxiu."

Everyone stood still, watching his figure disappear into the night.

All rescue forces across the country were firmly blocked outside the mountains, with no way to enter. Tonight, only one person, carrying the hopes of everyone, stepped alone into this living hell.
