Chapter 160: Disaster relief, start (2/10, monthly pass)

For those who have never experienced an earthquake, the magnitude 6.5 earthquake is just a number and has no concept, but by analogy, the Ya-An earthquake that happened in China was magnitude 7, with a population of 1.52 million and an area of ​​12,500 square kilometers.
But what's better about this earthquake is that it happened during the day, and the area affected by the earthquake was mainly plains, reducing the difficulty of rescue.
The just-completed Highway No. 8 was obviously affected, and a lot of cracks appeared on the ground. Fortunately, the gaps were not large, and the repairs were sufficient.
Driving to Wanderer's Town, some low-level highways are very problematic, and those sections near the town are distorted and deformed, which shows that the earthquake is terrifying.
There are farm ranches on both sides of the road. Wang Bo dropped his car window and looked out. Most of these houses collapsed. The fence of the ranch broke, cattle and sheep escaped, and the road was blocked.
"Fack!" Charlie, who drove the car, slammed the steering wheel hard. He blew his horn, and the cattle and sheep were more frightened, but didn't make way.
Wang Bo looked around and shouted, "You still whistle the horn, drive down the road, and walk around the grass!"
The predator's tires are more than one meter high, and the chassis of the car is suspended by airbags, which can be raised a little more. Charlie drove off the highway and bumped forward on the potty grass.
The population of the South Island is relatively small, covering an area of ​​280,000 square kilometers, but the population is only one million, which means that there are less than four people on one square kilometer of land.
Except for urban settlements, most of the other places are barren grasslands, and occasionally an agricultural pasture can be seen. In this case, the damage caused by the earthquake is relatively small.
Along the way, Wang Bo and others saw a more optimistic situation, but when they were near the town of Wanderers, the situation changed, and the horrors of the natural disaster were revealed!
They had been to this town before, and it was here that Xiaohani and others stole the car and wallet and mobile phone. At that time, the town was green and small, like a paradise.
But now, almost all the houses in the town have collapsed, several cars have turned over the road, some trees have turned upside down, cattle and sheep have been running around, and there are horrified calls for help and wailing from the Maori natives.
Someone was trying to move the car, trying to clear the blocked road. Wang Bo opened the door and jumped out of the car, staring at a distant ruin: Is this the horror of the earthquake?
The sky was overcast, and it looked like it was going to rain.
The predator's figure was extremely conspicuous, and a policeman ran over and shouted, "Man, please do me a favor. Can you drag this car away?"
Wang Bo hung on his chest, he nodded, "No problem, just speak to my driver. Besides, I want to ask, is Sheriff Smith in Austria here?"
Although the earthquakes are frequent in New Zealand, the quality of the relief workers is not very good. There are many policemen who come to the town. There must be at least a dozen or twenty. But no one is organizing and fighting.
The policeman took Wang Bo through the ruins for a while, and asked several talents to find the sheriff. This sheriff also helped to dig people from the collapsed building.
Hearing the shout, Sheriff Smith saw Wang Bo with a slight expression of relief, and asked, "Wang, how are you doing there? How many people?"
Wang Bo said, "You know, there are no people or houses in my town, and it's far away from here. The situation is optimistic. I brought everyone I can take. What about Olympic City?"
Sergeant Smith sighed, "Some houses have collapsed, but there are no casualties now. There is a big problem in Homeless Town. You can see that the surrounding police and fire brigades have assembled."
He assigned work to Wang Bo. At this time, Pharaoh discovered that the disaster relief scene was not too chaotic. The police and firefighters did not fight on their own, but led several residents to save people.
A total of ten Maori people were assigned to Wang Bo. In addition to Hani, Charlie, Bowen, Anderson, and Mexican Aberdeen, he had fifteen people. Of course, there was also a dog, and the strong man followed.
Hearing about the collapse of the house in Austria, he first called Eva.
The signal has been restored, but the call has been delayed, and he has called many times without receiving a call. He was anxious immediately.
But he can't go to Austria to check the situation. After all, he now has a heavy responsibility.
Putting away the mobile phone, Wang Bo looked around. He didn't receive the disaster relief training. If he didn't know what to do for a while, he asked Charlie: "Old investigation, what is the urgent task?"
Charlie frowned, and his forehead was deep and wrinkled: "Are there any personnel statistics? Which people have not come out? Which buildings are the key rescue targets?"
A local Maori cried in tears: "It's impossible to count. Now we have to search from house to house. We don't know where we need help ..."
It would be better if the earthquake happened in other areas. New Zealanders pay attention to earthquake resistance when building a house. The Homeless Town is a gathering place for the Maori people. The Maori living houses are mainly traditional structures, mostly wooden and stone structures. It is very difficult to rescue after the earthquake.
What is more difficult is that the work is not directional at all, not even the earthquake relief command center. Wang Bo came here to see only one officer of Sheriff Smith, and other people such as town mayors and inspectors did not see it!
Wang Bo saw several people struggling to dig in a collapsed house next to him, so he hurried over and asked, "Hi guys, are there any victims underneath you? Need help?"
As a result, a big man replied, "We are not clear. Perhaps there are victims below, but no matter whether we have to dig it up. If not, it is a waste of energy. If there is, our rescue is not necessary ?"
Wang Bo was almost stunned by this remark. Although he was not a professional disaster relief worker, he also knew that such a method that would rather miss the wrong kill would not be applicable in disaster relief.
The early days of rescue work are prime time. All forces must be concentrated for effective rescue. They not only waste energy, but also time!
And at this time, time is the most precious!
Charlie understood the truth, and called, "Are no one doing statistics? Is there no emphasis on rescue?"
A few Maori who followed them were impatient, and someone shouted, "Would you like to help and save people? Would you be standing like this?"
The best way now is to just find a collapsed house and start digging. It doesn't matter if these jobs are necessary.
Looking at the situation in the town, it is clear that everyone only cares about whether they work or not, and they don't care if the work is useful.
But Wang Bo didn't want to do this. He really wanted to give useful power in this desperate situation! (To be continued.)
