The disaster brought by this earthquake to Xichuan is simply beyond words.
Following the first massive quake, six more aftershocks occurred, which almost dealt a fatal blow to the survivors who were barely catching their breath.
Disasters underground are unpredictable, and the movent of tectonic plates cannot be guarded against, not even with spiritual power—even if guarded, what use is there in predicting one or two minutes in advance?
With such a short ti, even with a warning beforehand, there’s simply no ti to react.
Little Yellow’s body is becoming increasingly thin and frail, but there is a fla burning in their eyes as sothing seems to be surging upwards from deep underground.
At the 29th hour after the earthquake, during this seemingly endless yet insufficient ti, the military finally landed a special helicopter at the base where Chu River was stationed, bringing boxes of materials along with sothing prepared by Mr. Chang Geng.
And also Hu Sisi, who was originally working hard in the villa.
...
Hu Sisi saw Little Yellow, and tears instantly stread down:
"Xiao Zhou, why have you beco so thin?"
Little Yellow’s expression imdiately turned fierce:
"I’ve told you countless tis not to call Xiao Zhou! Call Brother Huang, or Brother Ding will do!"
Hu Sisi, with reddened eyes, was lost in her own sadness, completely ignoring what he said.
This little brat wants a graduate researcher like her to call him ’Brother’? Dream on!
She composed herself and said to Chu River, who was seriously checking various parts nearby:
"Boss, Mr. Chang Geng from Tianfeng Research Institute contacted and asked to bring what you ordered earlier. Additionally, he prepared the key components in advance, and the rest are all supplied by the country... Next, boss, you no longer need to participate in rescue missions, just use the fastest speed, work overti, and push to make the Rescue Dragonfly."
Hu Sisi relayed the orders from the higher-ups accurately: "They specifically called here to assist you, saying that you can request whatever is needed, and they will fully support it!"
Chu River focused, looking at boxes and boxes of components that would normally be painstaking to obtain, with a gaze full of vibrant ambition—
There’s an old saying on Mountain and Sea Star: Man will triumph over nature!
So what if disasters can’t be predicted?
They can still race against death.
Among those who ca with the helicopter was a high-ranking military official. Chu River glanced at their shoulder patch and unceremoniously ordered:
"The technology expo attracted researchers from all over the country. Although there aren’t many key figures, we can’t be picky now."
"Now, I require all those who can participate in the research to stop what they’re doing and gather here."
He then looked at Hu Sisi:
"You have been learning from for quite a while; you should have grasped the basics. Once they gather, you will pass on the foundational knowledge—can you manage that?"
Hu Sisi gritted her teeth:
"I can!"
In truth, she hadn’t kept up with the pace of the top experts in these few months. But during this period of working hard on components every day, the foundation for Rescue Dragonfly at least was relatively solid.
Though so confidential elents were still unclear, she was completely able to assist Chu River in quickly setting up a simple assembly line.
Hu Sisi looked at this simple tent, thinking to herself at this mont:
Whatever happens, she will exert her utmost effort and make sure there’s no problem!
She must shed as much light as she can, that’s her responsibility.
However, those who ca with the helicopter suggested: "Mr. Chu, actually, we’ve also received orders to bring you back to Beijing."
Currently, Xichuan still harbors unpredictable aftershock threats, not to ntion the environnt is unsuitable for precise research; staying here is really less efficient.
Chu River smiled—
"They all have to start learning from square one; the efficiency is the sa whether we stay or return... Staying here, allowing everyone to see what they are striving for, is the best."
...
In fact, long before the earthquake broke out, Chang Geng was already making preparations.
Regarding Chu River, regarding the true function of the Rescue Dragonfly, perhaps only he understands it best in this world.
He spent 22 hours after the quake preparing so chips for rapid application while concealing spiritual power attributes.
The rest of the waiting ti was due to the delay in acquiring other necessary materials.
Xichuan is such a vast place, with so many areas affected by the disaster, and currently, there are only three Rescue Dragonflies.
Moreover, each has to recharge for six hours after working for eight hours. Even though the rescue speed is much faster than before, in the face of such a vast disaster, it still seems insufficient.
