Completely lost contact.
Ji Hanyu frowned as he listened, "How many workers and residents have lost contact in total?"
The person in charge shook his head. Ji Hanyu angrily grabbed him by the collar, "Is this how you take responsibility?"
"President, you misunderstood," the person in charge quickly explained, "We know exactly how many workers have lost contact, a total of eighteen.
But we don’t know about the residents, because aside from the ten residents hired to help, children and elderly people often go up to watch the construction or deliver als, and we can’t keep track of them."
The elderly and children go up randomly, and they have no idea how many or when they go up.
"So at least twenty-eight workers and residents have lost contact."
The person in charge nodded quickly, then added, "But there must be more than that, as elderly and children go up every day."
"Alright, gather everyone, put on raincoats and boots, and each person should bring so gloves, ropes, flashlights... and carry so bread, compressed biscuits, chocolate, and such, and go up the mountain in groups of four to look for them."
They’ve been out of contact for more than a day, and with the elderly and children, even if they’re not dead, they must be cold and hungry by now.
"President, it’s too dangerous up the mountain now, with sudden heavy rains possible at any ti, and landslides are also likely," the person in charge said bravely.
Ji Hanyu glanced at him, sneering in anger, "So, for the sake of your own safety, you won’t look for them?
If natural disasters don’t take those dozens of lives, cowardly people like you will.
Do you think that by not looking, you can wash your hands of the whole thing? You are in charge of the entire project, and you brought those workers here. Aren’t you ashad to say such things now?"
"I... I..." The person in charge’s face turned red with sha. He indeed brought those workers here, and he had feelings for them too.
But who isn’t afraid of death?
"What ’I’? Quickly gather people to go and search." Lin Zhan said, "This isn’t an earthquake, volcanic eruption, tsunami, or other disaster where there’s no escape or hiding.
This is just heavy rain, and now the rain has even stopped. Is it really possible that every mountain would slide or collapse wherever we go?
Besides, even if you happen to encounter such misfortune, there’s still ti to escape from disasters like these."
Therefore, the likelihood of those who lost contact being alive is very high.
However, if no one goes to search for them, even if they miraculously survived, they will die.
The current main force of the rescue team is focused on the flood area at the foot of the mountain.
Besides, the people they brought are no less capable than the rescue team.
...
By the ti Bai Haoxue and Xi Wei arrived in Yiqing County, it was almost dark.
Communication had been restored at the foot of the mountain, and Xi Wei quickly got in touch with Li Mingmo.
Li Mingmo was furious as he saw Xi Wei and Bai Haoxue suddenly appear in the disaster area as if by magic.
"Xi Wei, is there water in your brain?"
"And you, Bai Haoxue, Xi Wei has got issues and now you’ve got issues too? Is this a place you should be?"
Li Mingmo was so angry that his fingers trembled as he scolded Xi Wei and Bai Haoxue harshly.
Xi Wei said, "I signed up here as a volunteer, mind your own business."
"You..." Li Mingmo was so angry his fingers trembled.
Bai Haoxue didn’t waste words, getting straight to the point, "Li Mingmo, where is Ji Hanyu?"
