Chapter 238: Start the rescue and seek a guarantee at the beginning of the month)
There was no accident when we headed to Linshi. After all, it was only a few dozen kilometers away. Chen Xin's car had complete detection methods and had a very good grasp of the road conditions. The probability of it being outside of it was not high.
However, when the group arrived in Linshi, they were shocked by the current state of Linshi.
The terrain of Linshi belongs to a typical valley terrain among the two mountains. The other end of the valley faces the Yangtze River, and there is also a lake located between the city and the Yangtze River.
That lake is the remains of ancient Yunmengze and is no longer connected to the Yangtze River and Dongting Lake. The crabs produced in it were a famous product in the city before the disaster. The large amount of crabs consumed by the city every year during the crab eating season are all from here.
However, not to mention that the entire lake has frozen into ice and can no longer eat delicious crabs. The backflow of sea water caused by the previous tsunami also caused the Yangtze River to soar, flooding the lake, and the "coastline" once approached the city of Linshi.
In fact, it is not just Lin City. Although the city is located in the central part of Yan Country, the sea water caused by the tsunami is at its end when it arrives at Dongting Lake, it still raises the water level of Dongting Lake a lot, and most of the lake-along areas in this city have suffered from floods.
If the city does not have hilly terrain and the terrain is relatively high, I am afraid that most parts of the city will be soaked in water.
Lin City is worse than the urban area. After the water level rises and freezes, the side of Lin City facing the Yangtze River becomes unobstructed.
When a blizzard hits, the canyon terrain between two mountains and one ditch, coupled with the flat ice surface, makes the entire Lin City a completely wind pocket. And because of the mountain direction, the blizzard blowing towards Lin City is faster and the blizzard is more concentrated.
Originally, the abundant water vapor brought by the Yangtze River and lakes turned into ice and snow at low temperatures, and was swept towards Lincheng by a blizzard.
It is precisely because of these factors that the entire Lin City has almost been completely buried in snow.
Most of the buildings in the entire city have been buried under the snow, and only a very small number of higher-rise buildings have roofs exposed outside.
After all, Lin City is just a county-level city, and there are not many high-rise buildings in the city. Under the raging blizzard, it is normal for most buildings to be swallowed up by snow because of insufficient height.
But in the face of this situation, everyone in the rescue team feels that they are late.
"Linshi...will everyone be buried under the snow?" A female voice asked this question on the intercom.
She is a doctor in the rescue team. She came here voluntarily to save people. As a local, she also has some relatives and friends in Lincheng.
However, now seeing this situation where the entire city is buried in snow, it is hard for her to believe that there are still survivors in this city.
Chen Xin naturally had the same concerns, but he was relatively not that pessimistic.
"The situation should not be so bad. In the previous communication between Lin City and the city, Lin City did not indicate that there was a major problem. It is impossible to say that the entire city was gone in such a short time before we came." Chen Xin spoke calmly and took the initiative to propose a response plan: "The drones and radars in my car can detect life signals. We find a place to stop the car first, and carefully search for the traces of the survivors before talking about it."
"I agree with Chen Xin's opinion. Everyone should find a place to park the car first and learn about the situation." As the leader of the rescue team, the captain chose to support Chen Xin at this time.
—————————————————
A group of seven cars drove into Lin City and headed towards the location of the city center in the past. During this process, Chen Xin also released his drone and switched the radar to the life signal search mode, hoping to search for traces of survivors.
As for the other cars, the captain was trying to contact the city government of Lin City and conveyed the message that the rescue team had arrived to them. Everyone in the other cars couldn't help but feel nervous. They were still worried about the situation in Lin City and whether they were really late. At the same time, they were actively doing various preparations.
After all, if there are survivors in Lin City, once they are found, the rescue team will immediately join the rescue operation.
Among them, Chen Xin's radar and drone were the first to discover the traces of survivors.
"The heat source signal was found nearby, and it was initially judged that it should be the vent of the shelter." The display of the heat source on the radar was still very obvious. Chen Xin just raised the drone to a high altitude, and then switched to infrared mode and found several more obvious heat sources.
Chen Xin didn't know exactly what was going on under the snow, but judging from the number and distribution of heat sources, he felt that this should be the main refuge currently in Lin City.
When they learned that the shelter was still in operation, the people on several cars couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. This was very good news. At least they did not go for a vain trip, and Lincheng did not become an empty city.
In addition to the news about Chen Xin, the captain also contacted the city government of Lin City and informed them of the arrival of the rescue team.
The city government in Lin City was very excited and happy that the rescue team could arrive. Although the number of rescue teams arrived was not large and the help they could provide was limited, this at least means that the city still had enough energy to help them at this time. The arrival of the rescue team injected hope into the cold darkness.
According to the information obtained by the captain and the Linshi Municipal Government after contacting each other, the rescue team and his group stopped at a location in the center of Linshi, which was originally supposed to be a square.
This place should have been a commercial square, and nearby is the largest refuge in Lincheng.
Lincheng City is no longer as good as the urban area. It has only one large shelter and three medium-sized shelters. The total number of survivors accommodated after the disaster is only more than 100,000.
In the previous blizzard, a medium-sized shelter was buried by the blizzard. It has now been abandoned. The total number of people still alive in Lin City may be less than 100,000.
After learning about the situation, the captain found Chen Xin after all the cars were parked, and the special police officers in charge of leading the team and a doctor were also present.
"Sorry, Chen Xin, only your car has a large space, so I borrowed your place to hold a meeting." The captain said sorry to Chen Xin, and then sat down with the others at Chen Xin's greeting and talked about the important matter: "Now we have arrived in Lin City, and the Lin City Government has just informed us of the relevant situation. The situation in Lin City is very bad now. We must discuss how the rescue team should carry out the rescue work."
