Rescue in the water was extremely difficult, any carelessness could lead to something even more serious. Without the orders from the superior, no one dared to act rashly as they were one hundred percent sure that they could save the people who were still alive in the sunken cabin.
After the distress signal was sent, Zhan Limo and the others continued to search for him. Not long after, a reply came from the higher-ups, telling them to wait for the specialized rescue team to come and cooperate with the rescue team. They had to ensure the safety of those who were still alive.
The entire rescue was extremely complicated, but Zhan Limo and the rest were not impatient at all. They cooperated fully with the rescue team, and seeing two people who were still alive being saved, their hearts were filled with excitement, but very soon, even more grievous news awaited them.
After the rescue team entered the cabin, they saw the corpses lying in front of them. Everyone felt sorrowful from the bottom of their hearts, but they did not slow down. Everyone tried their best to rescue the corpses, sending them ashore one by one.
Corpses were found one after another, but no more lives were found. Gradually, the people who joined the rescue team felt their mental breakdown, the first batch of rescue workers were called ashore, and a second batch of rescue workers followed suit.
Looking at the corpses on Jia De deck, Zhan Limo's eyes suddenly turned red, he punched himself heavily on the leg: "Damn it!"
In front of the natural disaster, he just realized how useless he was. Everyday training in the army, he ate the people's tax, but he couldn't guarantee the safety of the people. Not long ago, these corpses that were rescued were still alive.
Zhuang Momo was sitting right beside Zhan Limo. Seeing Zhan Limo hitting himself, she shouted fiercely, "Zhan Limo, now is not the time to be emotional. There are still more of our compatriots waiting for us to rescue them. Until the very last moment, we absolutely ca
ot give up. "
Hearing Zhuang Momo's voice, Zhan Limo raised her head., who always disliked people no matter how she looked at them, seemed to have a halo around her head today. Her eyes were so firm and determined, as well as the stubbor
ess to save everyone.
Suddenly, he felt that Zhuang Momo wasn't as unsightly as before.
Zhuang Momo then said: "We are soldiers who have run to the front to rescue others. If we all fall, where can the people see hope from?"
Zhan Limo: "I understand."
Zhan Limo was not the only one, the other warriors who joined in the rescue were also the same. They were new soldiers, it was their first time participating in a rescue, and it was also their first time seeing so many people die.
There were even some who were unable to stay behind to participate in the rescue because they could not accept the cruel reality before them. However, there were only one or two new recruits who had done a good job and had not held anyone back during the rescue.
After a short rest, they once again participated in the rescue work. The rescue work lasted for seven full days before the sunken cruise ship was able to see the light of day. Among the hundreds of people on the ship, including the captain and crew, only six survived.
On the last day of the rescue, the soldiers observed three minutes of silence on the deck for their fallen comrades, after which they returned to their units. Although the rescue was over, the clouds over the soldiers were not over yet.
In the past, the group of people who had been laughing and laughing all became silent. When they met, everyone's eyes were red from the rims of their eyes. The higher ups had arranged for counsellors to give them advice, but the results were not that good. Some of the soldiers seemed to be able to see the corpses in front of them the moment they closed their eyes.
After a few days of psychological counseling, the soldiers were in a much better condition. The superior also issued an order for all the soldiers who participated in the rescue to return home to save a week's time. He said it was to save the family, but in fact, he wanted everyone to adjust their state of mind so that they could better serve the people in the future.
On the day Zhan Limo returned home, he met Zhuang Momo in front of the carriage. This male na
y did not have her usual high-spirited look, and her head was drooped like a beaten up dog. Zhan Limo called her: "Hello?"
Zhuang Momo turned her head around, "Is there something?"
Zhan Limo patted her shoulder: "Things have already happened, no matter how sad we are, it's useless. It's better to pull ourselves together, in the future, we can better serve the people, and protect our families for our country."
These words were what Zhuang Momo had said to Zhan Limo when they were trying to save him. Zhan Limo memorized them and used them to persuade Zhuang Momo now.
Zhuang Momo drooped her head, and said gently: "Oh."
It was rare that she did not argue with him, but Zhan Limo was not used to it. "Zhuang Momo, are you still scared?"
Zhuang Momo took a deep breath, her eyes red as she said, "Hundreds of lives, gone just like that ??"
As she spoke, she began to sob.
Zhan Limo reached out and hugged Zhuang Momo for a bit: "It's all over, don't be sad."
Zhuang Momo took a deep breath, "I don't need you to comfort me, I already know that."
Previously, when she was trying to save him, Zhuang Momo was already close to collapse, but her strong willpower made her grit her teeth and persevere. Once the rescue was over, she collapsed. The her that Zhan Limo was seeing right now could already be considered as the person with the best condition in the past few days.
Zhan Limo: "I heard that you became sick when you came back?"
Zhuang Momo: "Nothing, I'm already done."
Just as she was speaking, Hu Qiaoqiao ran over hurriedly: "Momo, we agreed to go visit the bereaved families tomorrow. What time do we gather for? Where do I gather them? "
Zhuang Momo immediately changed her dejected state, "We will gather at the Jiangbei train station tomorrow morning."
Hu Qiaoqiao: "Alright, we won't be going back to our homeland this time. Tomorrow, we will start to help the families that need our help one by one."
Zhan Limo: "You are going to pay respects to the families of the victims? How come I didn't know about this? "
Hu Qiaoqiao said, "If Young Master Zhan is interested, you can also come along."
Zhan Limo said: "Alright, gather at the Jiangbei train station tomorrow morning."
Zhuang Momo glanced at Zhan Limo: "Young Master Zhan, this job of providing condolences is not a joke. Are you sure you have the patience?"
Zhan Limo said in dissatisfaction: "Could it be that this young master is someone who does things without any reason?"
Seeing that the two were about to argue again, Hu Qiaoqiao interrupted, "You two, let's temporarily ignore the personal grudges between you two. Let's think about how we can help families who need our help. I have ascertained that there were several young couples among the victims, and that the child of one of them was still in lactation. The couple are the only children of the family, and with their departure, they defeated two happy families. "
Hu Qiaoqiao was talking about one of the things that happened in this incident. Other cases were common, they couldn't help all of them, and could only choose the most miserable ones, the ones that could be of some help.
