Chapter 131 The times have changed, brothers(1/2)
‘It turns out that it wasn’t what I thought it would be.’
After hearing the explanations given by the three brothers, Ge Yingjun felt relieved.
Not only was it not what he thought, but these three saved his life.
But the three brothers were afraid that he would be stimulated and sucked, so they did not say that they were isolated and helpless, but let him rest with peace of mind.
It was already afternoon now, and the rain was still falling outside, but it was already drizzling. Investigators whispered to discuss the rain that stopped and then explored around.
However, I can't go too far this time. If I still can't connect to the mobile phone signal, I will come back immediately and camp here to wait for rescue.
Of course, according to their plan, they still wanted to find the cave because it was not a big deal for four people to squeeze into a small tent.
Moreover, there is dry firewood in that cave. Now the whole mountain is wet. If you want to make a fire to keep warm, it is better to go there.
By the way, there are three packs of self-heating military rations. That thing can not only heat up rice, but also be a hand warmer after hot rice. After all, Fanxing's self-heating military rations are quite powerful.
This thing requires water to react. Although it is OK to use urine, there are even plastic bags that are separated by urine and will not directly contact the meal. However, until the critical moment, normal people will not be able to overcome this hurdle.
Fortunately, the rain has not stopped yet, and there is a lot of water outside.
But those water can only be used as reaction water and cannot be drunk. They can only drink three and a half bottles of water they can drink now.
Three packs of self-heating military rations and three bottles of mineral water, this is all their food and drink supplies.
And they didn't know when the rescue would arrive.
Faced with this situation, the three old jungle drivers were worried.
After three years of hard work, I became an old driver. I thought I could come and go freely in the forest, but life taught them a lesson.
This lesson...is likely to kill them.
As for Ge Yingjun, the impact of high concentrations of carbon dioxide on his body is still there, and he fell asleep in a drowsy way, basically no constructive suggestions were given.
"We must save money and make good distribution, and only eat and drink at the least amount every day, hoping to last for a few more days."
"Oh, it would be great if it didn't rain. I could put a few traps based on the traces before it raining. Maybe I could get a few small animals, but the heavy rain washed all the traces, and I don't know where to put a trap."
"I hope some bacteria will appear after the rain. As long as there are bacteria, we can hold them for a few more days."
"There is a bad news. The compass was lost. I guess the fall I fell out just now. When the rain stopped, I went to look for it."
"I guess that thing is broken, and it's useless to find it."
"I don't know when the bureau will look for us, and I don't know if they will use drones to check it out. If so, maybe we can burn something to make smoke."
"This is a good idea!"
But when the rain stopped, they found that the idea was good or not, but they couldn't implement it.
Because the rain stopped, but the dark clouds did not dissipate, the sky was still gloomy, and coupled with the natural darkness bonus of the dense forest, the camping place was already dark.
More importantly, the fog did not dissipate.
In this case, the smoke columns formed by their burning things cannot be distinguished at all. When it gets dark later, they can only find a solution tomorrow to see the situation.
Why do you want to go out to explore the way? It’s better to stay in the tent honestly in this terrifying weather.
When it was night, Ge Yingjun was still sleeping, and they didn't think about waking him up. As for hunger... let's bear it first.
The only three bags of self-heating military rations left now are Ge Yingjun's personal property. If they want to eat, they must obtain consent. However, Ge Yingjun was not awake, and it was only the first day now, so they could bear it.
The warmth situation at night should not be a big problem. A few people are crowded in a small tent, and there will be no "spontaneous fever". The insulation performance of this tent is pretty good, and you can withstand it without eating hot meals or drinking hot water.
However, in order to ventilate, it will prevent the tent from being artificially caused by excessive carbon dioxide concentration and the tent will have to be kept in a gap.
So after a while, they leaned against each other and fell asleep while sitting.
They did not return to the Resources Bureau on time, and there was no news at night. The bureau finally confirmed that something had happened to them.
The bureau quickly called their home, and after confirming that they had not returned home, they immediately activated the relevant plan.
The relevant personnel first checked the records in the bureau and saw what equipment and supplies the three staff members took away. When they saw that they did not carry satellite phones, the relevant personnel's faces turned dark.
"They were careless!"
Then I found that the amount of supplies they brought was ridiculously small, so the relevant personnel were not as simple as being silly.
As for today's situation, they did not prepare any equipment or supplies for overnight stays, but they had to spend the night in the wet and cold mountains and forests...
I'm afraid something will happen!
"Notify the rescue team!"
This place is located in Jiufeng Mountain, with the heights of the nine peaks exceeding 3,000 meters.
Jiufeng Mountain has a very rich plant resources, with first-class protected animals, golden leopards, clouded leopards and black gibbons, as well as black bears, king cobras and cobras living here.
There are six climate patterns from the top of the mountain to the foothills, spanning the cold temperate climate and the southern subtropical climate. There is heavy fog in many areas, and the visibility is only 10 meters.
The area where the personnel lost contact this time is located in the core area of the national nature reserve. It is an unmanned area of the original forest, with steep mountains and dense forests, covered with cliffs and gullies, and the terrain is extremely complex.
After discussion, the temporary search and rescue command established according to the plan decided to search and rescue in three directions, namely along the southwest, northeast and northeast of Jiufeng Mountain.
It was supposed to be searching through the scribbling, but a heavy rain washed away all the traces, so I could only do a carpet-style key search.
The southwest direction was conducted by two heavy-equipped crossing groups carrying and camping equipment to conduct in-depth searches.
There are three search and rescue teams in the northeast direction to expand the search and rescue within a radius of 3 kilometers around the areas where the lost people have been active.
In the north, there are 4 rescue teams composed of professional search and rescue teams such as guides, fire rescue, forest fire fighting teams, and people with outdoor survival experience to search.
At the same time, helicopters, drones and search and rescue dogs are also engaged in search and rescue work.
At night, some areas are really difficult to search artificially, so rescuers release thermal imaging drones and helicopters to take circumferences to search for heat source clues. However, due to the extremely dense forest, the drone cannot take images under the forest in the air, and the effect is limited.
They also used helicopters to fly in key areas for shouting and searching, but found no useful clues, because the forests were dense and the sound became smaller after layers of attenuation, and they were not even sure whether the place they were looking for was right.
Now I am even more afraid that the three investigators will be in a coma and cannot hear it.
Jiufengshan area is located on an active fault zone. The harmful gases such as carbon dioxide contained in the fault zone are likely to overflow for a short time along the fault zone. These harmful gases that are overflowing for a short time are fatal.
Once the body inhales this gas in just a few minutes, symptoms such as confusion and coma may occur, and may even die.
Even if there is no harmful gases containing carbon dioxide overflowing in the fault zone, many harmful gases will be produced in the forest.
Heavy rain will cause fallen leaves and dead weeds to ferment in the forest at a faster pace, thereby ejecting toxic and harmful gases. Rain and fog will inhibit the dissipation of toxic and harmful gases, thus causing a large number of toxic and harmful gases to gather in the forest.
People basically don’t feel anything when they first smell this gas, but with the inhalation of this toxic and harmful gas, the human nerves will become paralyzed, which will completely lose the ability to save themselves.
When the more toxic and harmful gases are absorbed, people will die.
Although the three investigators carried the testing equipment, if there was a problem with the testing equipment in the middle, the consequences...the consequences... are unimaginable.
Anyway, when searching and rescue, you must have the best plan and the worst plan.
However, it is still too dangerous to drive a helicopter in the mountains at night, so after a few turns, the helicopter retreated first and continued search and rescue tomorrow. In addition, the traces of self-rescue such as smoke columns and help patterns will have to wait until the fog clears tomorrow before it will be effective.
The rescue team also invested more than a dozen search and rescue dogs, which used the missing persons' items brought by the families of the missing persons as the source of smell, and then led the trainer to conduct searches in key areas.
However, because the range is too large, the search and rescue dog has to work within a range of more than ten square kilometers. This is completely different from the traditional search for plains and ruins. With the heavy rain, no one is sure whether the search and rescue dog can play a role.
Even if it is difficult to move at night, it takes them a long time to reach the key areas.
As for communication support, a drone carrying an air communication base station is already preparing for takeoff. It can reach the sky above Jiufeng Mountain in about three hours, and the local communications company has also dispatched emergency satellite communication vehicles.
An emergency and orderly search and rescue operation is underway.
Unfortunately, by the next morning, it was said that nothing was found, but he fell and injured two search and rescue personnel.
Fortunately, after a night of coordination, the rescue team from other places was also in place, so a larger-scale search and rescue operation was launched.
And although there is still fog after dawn, it is much better than the visibility at night.
At the same time, the command center also knew that there was a team in the mountains that were conducting equipment testing, so it also sent them a notice asking for assistance in the rescue.
The air base station drone returned in the early morning and another one will take over in an hour.
On the other hand, Dong Lian and the others woke up early. After all, it was not very comfortable to sit and sleep. Fortunately, they survived the whole night.
However, they woke up too early and it was still very dark outside. They checked their phones as soon as possible and sighed when they found that there was still no signal.
After dawn in the tent, they walked out of the tent and moved for a while, observing and observing.
As a result, they found that the fog still couldn't dissipate, so their hearts gradually sank.
Someone tried to explore, but he came back soon.
Don’t dare to go too far, getting lost in this visibility is just a matter of minutes.
After that, Ge Yingjun also woke up. The rest of the afternoon and night finally helped him recover, and then... woke up from hunger.
After waking up, he found that the three brothers were missing. He struggled to get up, but he still had no strength, so he tried to shout.
"Is anyone?"
"Brother Dong?"
"Brother Ma?"
"Brother Liu?"
Hearing his faint shouting, the three people looking for a compass not far from the tent immediately returned to the tent.
To be continued...
