A Maybach on a rainy night? Talk to my Levadin!

"Is there anything I can do to help?" Zhao Zizhan also wanted to do something.

"You'll have to ask Kal'tsit about that. Oh right, Kal'tsit isn't here. She said she had to go out for some business and just left... But since you just came from the medical department, you should take good care of yourself."

"I'm really okay now."

"Haha, it seems you're eager to do something. Then go find Amiya. If Dr. Warfarin confirms you're currently fine, we'll take you with us, how about that!"

"I'll go talk to them right now!"

Natural disaster... What will the people be like after the disaster?

This is a great opportunity to learn some relevant knowledge so that I can use it later.

"Dr. Warfarin, I want to participate in the disaster relief search and rescue operation!"

Zhao Zizhan rushed to the medical department. After Kal'tsit left, Warfarin became the person in charge here. She was instructing the medical staff to vacate beds in the medical area. In the upcoming search and rescue operation, many critically ill patients with high infection concentrations would definitely be saved, so the beds had to be prepared in advance.

"Oh, okay, since you're free now anyway, let me see... um?"

Warfarin glanced at Zhao Zizhan unintentionally, looking at his state with some surprise: "You've mastered the basics so quickly?"

Blood magic is not an easy skill to learn, yet this child has mastered it so quickly and recovered so fast? Although I gave him a bag of blood, that bag of blood is far from enough for Zhao Zizhan to achieve his current state.

Could I have misjudged him? Is this child truly a blood magic prodigy, one in a million?

Zhao Zizhan scratched the back of his head: "I made some deals with some meat farmers; they sold me some blood."

A glint of light flashed in Warfarin's eyes: "How much did I sell it to you for?"

2000 liters

"2000 milliliters, that's not bad... Dude!?" Warfarin was completely stunned. 2000 liters? Did she hear that right?

"That's right, 2000 liters. I read a book on blood therapy and felt that the thrombin and superoxide dismutase in it should also be useful for Rhodes Island, so I bought more. If Rhodes Island needs it..."

﹄○㈠②卍仈彡○⑼⒏

"We need it, we absolutely need it!" Warfarin grabbed Zhao Zizhan's hand. "Zizhan, you're truly a savior sent from heaven to our medical department!!"

Chapter 42: Rescue

Zhao Zizhan's request to participate in the rescue operation was quickly approved.

As I said before, Rhodes Island is short-staffed.

With a total of 200 operators, plus a large number of staff responsible for ship transport and field missions, including clerical work and a large number of medical personnel, not many can actually participate in the rescue operation.

After Warfarin confirmed that Zhao Zizhan was in good health, Amiya quickly approved Zhao Zizhan's application to participate in the operation.

Now that the natural disaster has passed, the situation of the victims is unknown. Every additional person who helps can contribute more strength.

Moreover, Zhao Zizhan's abilities are quite useful and can be of great help in rescue efforts.

Raidian was a little worried, but seeing how enthusiastic Zhao Zizhan was, he agreed.

He was putting on his rescue gear, preparing to go to the scene with Huang's team.

Huh0?樲⑵８㈢○⒐ノ╲

"Spray antifreeze onto the equipment; prepare the vehicles with winter protection covers."

"Confirm the availability of warm clothing supplies."

"Confirmation complete"

Rhodes Island has specialized tracked rescue vehicles capable of handling a variety of complex road conditions, but the temperatures in Ursus pose a significant challenge, and antifreeze measures must be taken to ensure the machines operate normally.

Huang fastened the walkie-talkie to his chest: "Scout Team, this is Huang, please respond."

"Scout received this, please speak," came Scout's voice from the other end of the phone.

"My team is ready to head to the scene to provide support, accompanied by a heavy-duty tracked rescue vehicle. Requesting updates on road conditions."

"The natural disaster has softened the permafrost to varying degrees, making the original route unusable. I will update the terminal with a completely new route; you can go that way to get around it."

"Received. What's the progress of the investigation in the disaster area?"

"It's still unclear. The town has been completely destroyed by a natural disaster, and the concentration of Originium contamination within the town is extremely high, making it difficult to observe. There are no confirmed signs of survivor activity inside. I think you should bring more thermal insulation supplies."

"Don't worry, I brought the rabbit-headed operator with me this time."

(Okay, I kept my word. The most upvoted post was actually "Snow Wolf Po Jun". However, as the fan who respects Snow Wolf Po Jun the most on the entire internet, I'll make a slight modification here and change it to a rabbit head, so that it matches the description.)

"Who is that?"

"The codename that Agent Zizhan gave himself"

Why is it called that?

"He said his inspiration came from the rabbit hole, which is similar to his abilities, isn't it?"

"That makes sense... But since he's here, I'm relieved. I'll stop here for now; I need to take my team to deploy the shortwave radio."

"Received, take care."

After hanging up the phone, Huang frowned as he looked at the traffic updates Scout shared.

"The situation is not good. Following this route, we will arrive 6 hours later than planned. The town is so heavily polluted that the survivors inside may not survive until we reach the scene."

"Then let's hurry up. The longer we delay, the more dangerous it will be for the disaster victims." Zhao Zizhan finished dressing and came to the side of the officers.

"You're right, everyone, prepare to depart!"

The heavy-duty tracked rescue vehicle roared into the snowstorm, leaving a long trail in the frozen ground.

While Zhao Zizhan and his group were on their way, the Scout squad was not idle at all.

As a reconnaissance unit, Scouts are responsible for a variety of tasks, including monitoring snow depth, permafrost cracking, the extent of building damage, and marking the disaster situation in densely populated areas and mining areas.

The information on the terminal was being constantly synchronized, and the more synchronized it became, the heavier everyone's hearts became.

The disaster in this small town is very severe, the internal situation is complex, and the survival of the victims is probably not optimistic.

In the vehicle, Huang also gave Zhao Zizhan, who was on his first field mission, instructions: "You must enter the vehicle to rest after working on-site for 30 minutes to avoid being infected by high concentrations of Originium. Wear your respirator properly; the low temperature and Originium dust outside can cause serious damage to your mouth, nose, and respiratory system..."

As Zhao Zizhan listened, he nodded silently. This was all life-saving information, and he had to remember it well.

As the atmosphere inside the car grew tense, Huang's walkie-talkie rang.

"Hoshino, this is Rhodes Island. Please respond." Amiya's cute yet very serious voice came from the other end of the walkie-talkie.

"This is Huang, please speak!"

"The Disaster Messenger team has discovered an avalanche risk in the mountains near the disaster-stricken town. They have already placed markers in the area. We need you to get to the scene quickly to detonate the dangerous snow layer and control the snow accumulation. Otherwise, it may trigger a secondary disaster. Once the avalanche occurs, there will be no chance of survival for the survivors in the town."

"Huang received. Prepare to proceed to the target location."

Upon receiving the mission, Huang didn't say much, only nodding to his teammates and Zhao Zizhan: "I have an important mission. Please take good care of the Rabbit Head Operator for me."

"Don't worry, boss, he can't be the one who gets hurt, even if something happens to us!"

"Yeah, the rabbit-headed operator is the key to whether we'll be eating well or just eating potatoes, so you can rest assured!" the operators replied jokingly.

Huang nodded, said nothing more, opened the car door and jumped out, seemingly not caring at all that he was on a tracked vehicle traveling at tens of kilometers per hour.

The other operators remained calm and continued with their tasks. After his initial surprise, Zhao Zizhan realized that if this woman dared to jump from a plane, jumping from a car probably wasn't such a big deal after all...

㈠0壹②2八з０九捌

Zhao Zizhan thought for a moment and then pressed his communicator: "Rhodes Island, this is the Logistics Department, Rabbit Head."

"Received, please proceed."

"I request that drones equipped with thermal imagers and infrared scanning systems be deployed to the disaster-stricken area to assist in searching for survivors, establishing contact with them, and even initially delivering some emergency medical supplies to help stabilize their vital signs."

The crew in the Rhodes Island command center could only manage a wry smile after hearing Zhao Zizhan's suggestion. They wanted to do the same, but the circumstances didn't allow it!

"Your suggestion is very constructive, Rabbit Head Operator, but Rhodes Island's current drone endurance is insufficient to support this operation."

Zhao Zizhan replied decisively, "You can use me as a base station! I can use my abilities to transfer the drones to the disaster area, then have them perform their missions before I return them to Rhodes Island to recharge."

Is the battery life too bad? I can just transfer it to your local machine, then there won't be any battery life issues, right? These drones don't need to travel at all; they only need to consider the power consumption while working.

The people in the command room looked at each other in bewilderment. Yes!

We've never fought a battle with a surplus of resources before! How could we forget this? Our drones may not have enough range, but we have operators who can teleport! That's enough to extend our range!

Operator Zizhan is just too versatile!

"...It works! Thank you for your help, Rabbit Head Operator. Rhodes Island will allocate drones for you, ready to be deployed as soon as you are in position!"

"Roger that!"

Rhodes Island's drones! Zhao Zizhan had been eyeing these things for a long time. Just imagine the shock they would have caused if they had appeared in China in 04.

Isn't investing in the technology industry safer and more sophisticated than risking your life to trade for gold?

With this technology, Zhao Zizhan even has the confidence to connect with higher-ups! As long as he gets Lao Lu's order, Zhao Zizhan's career will take off like Da Sima's first broadcast.

The tracked rescue vehicle, carrying the apprehension and hesitation of its crew, sped towards the town.

In the ruins of the small town, a red-haired girl is dozing against the rubble...

P.S.: One more chapter. I've had mouth ulcers for the past two days, and they've been really painful. I've seen everyone mention it, and it's true. I've been writing transitional chapters lately. After these two chapters, I'll start to get into the main storyline. I've been updating only twice a week recently, mainly to hold back and wait for the book to be published so I can update more. My abilities are average and my level is limited, so please forgive me. These chapters are also to help develop the protagonist's goals and transformation. Some things can't be written too obviously. With 04 plus four years, plus dealing with natural disasters, those who understand should know what the protagonist wants to do.

Long live the people! This is not just a slogan!

As a newcomer, I've always felt I have little talent for writing novels. I'm grateful for everyone's understanding and support until now. I will do my best to write this story well.

Let's all cheer each other on!

Forty-three images: Surtr

"Scout team, this is Rabbit Head, we have arrived at the target location."

"Next, we will deploy drones to assist your team in the search and rescue within the town. Please be careful to identify them." In addition to reconnaissance, Scout is also a long-range sniper team. These superhumans from Rhodes Island can support them by carrying rescue equipment while also carrying weapons. Don't turn around and see a plane flying in the sky and mistake it for an enemy, then shoot it down.

"Scout received"

Zhao Zizhan got out of the car and brought over twenty drones, two at a time. The drones took off and began flying towards the town.

The large tracked rescue vehicle has a high payload capacity and can carry several squads of personnel to the scene. As soon as it landed, the Rhodes Island operators immediately joined the search and rescue operation at the scene—they had already wasted six hours and there was no more time to waste.

"Prepare to clear the road and open up a passage!" ACE was directing from the front, while an unnamed operator was using two light sticks to direct the tracked vehicle forward.

"Debris clearing team, I need you to come with me to quickly clear the building debris and work with the drones to search underneath for any survivors."

"All search and rescue teams, put on your protective suits. Each team, remember this: we will withdraw after half an hour of work!"

"Logistics team, I need you to set up a temporary shelter and prepare warm clothing!"

One command after another came from the mouth of this towering man, and the agents simply responded immediately and began to do their respective jobs.

Zhao Zizhan approached ACE: "Brother ACE, how is it?"

“It’s terrible,” ACE said, looking at the town in the distance. His emotions were unreadable behind his thick sunglasses.

"The destruction caused by the natural disaster to this town exceeded our expectations. We were right in the eye of the storm, and the concentration of Originium dust inside the town is extremely high. We need to prepare for the worst."

Zhao Zizhan followed ACE's gaze to this remote town.

The natural disasters in Terra were unlike anything he had ever seen before.

Numerous huge crystal clusters lay between the buildings and the road. The wooden buildings here had been completely burned to ruins, and most of the brick and stone buildings were now just ruins, as if they had been bombed.

A faint, dark reddish-brown mist filled the air, mixing with the falling snow and further reducing already poor visibility in the middle of the night.

Zhao Zizhan had also learned about these black and red weapons on Rhodes Island. The Originium dust after the natural disaster, mixed with the Originium dust released from the deaths of infected people after the disaster, if you take a breath of it, hey, you're set for life!

"Is there anything I can do?"

"This has already been a huge help. With the drones you brought, our search and rescue efficiency can be increased more than tenfold."

The addition of drones has greatly expanded the search and rescue scope and time, allowing operators who could only conduct slow search and rescue by manpower to simply synchronize drone data and provide rapid mobile support.

Dozens of drones scanned the ruins from the sky, transmitting the information to the rescue team members' terminals.

"ACE, we've found the bodies of a family of infected people, what should we do?"

"Please process the waste according to the harmless disposal procedure, and pay attention to safety during the operation!"

"Brother ACE, why aren't you wearing a mask?" Zhao Zizhan looked at ACE curiously. He noticed that not all Rhodes Island operators were wearing masks in this environment; only a small number of search and rescue team members were wearing masks.

"Due to limited resources, Rhodes Island can only allow a small number of operators operating on the front lines to wear them. Other operators will be largely unaffected as long as they don't enter high-concentration areas. My physical condition is better, so it's fine for operators who need it more to wear them."
