Chapter 489 (1/2)
In the province, the traffic has been relatively smooth, and it is difficult to walk on the road when you are close to the disaster area. From time to time, where they encounter landslides, the trucks they drive are relatively large, and they always go and stop.
However, some people are clearing obstacles along the way. After all, now whether troops or disaster relief materials want to come, we must first ensure that the road is unblocked.
When we got to the suburbs of the county, the epicenter of the earthquake, the trucks couldn't go there, and the roads were completely blocked.
Guo Xiang and Gu Zhennan get off and drive.
There were soldiers on the road. Some were carrying the fallen boulders, and some were cleaning up the accumulated soil on the road with engineers' shovels.
”Comrade, when can this be over?” Guo Xiang asked.
”Hello!” A soldier saluted her, ”comrade, this side is temporarily inaccessible. Please take a detour.”
”But we are here to deliver disaster relief materials. We must go here!” Guo Xiang said.
”Are you delivering supplies?” The soldier was a little surprised. The unit moved very fast and asked, ”which unit are you from?”
”We are not units, but individuals. We also heard the radio say that it was affected here, so we bought something and sent it over!” Guo Xiang said, ”it has been two days since the earthquake. I think people in the disaster area must need these things very much.”
The soldier was surprised. When he got to the truck, he opened the tarpaulin and looked at it. It was full of things. He was very impressed.
Another salute to Guo Xiang and Gu Zhennan, ”I thank you on behalf of the people in the disaster area!”
”Yes, comrade, how long will it take for the road to pass?” Guo Xiang looked at the sky. It was almost dark. They didn't stop at noon. They ate bread on the road.
The soldier looked at the situation ahead and looked at his watch. ”It will take two hours at the fastest. We can clear some roads that can accommodate the next car first.”
”Thank you so much!” Guo Xiang nodded, ”do you want us to help?”
”No, you wait here. I'll send someone to inform you as soon as I have news.” Said the soldier.
”Good!” Guo Xiang nodded and didn't insist. They are professional. Even if they go to help, they are half tired. Maybe they haven't done half as well as them.
They returned to the car and talked to Gu Zhendong and Zhang Deyang. Zhang Deyang pulled the car aside.
After an hour, it was completely dark. The soldiers there set up temporary street lights and were still digging.
Some people stop to eat first and change others later.
Guo Xiang saw that they ate compressed biscuits. She had eaten them in previous lives. She knew that it was not delicious. It was just to fill her stomach.
Let Gu Zhennan take a box of drinks, take a box of bread and find the soldier just now.
”Comrade, we have some food here. Please eat this. We still have a lot in the car!” Guo Xiang said.
The soldier looked at it and shook his head, ”we can't eat the people's food!”
”But we are also here for disaster relief. This is disaster relief materials. It's the same for you to eat. You're very hard.” Guo Xiang said.
The soldier shook his head. ”This is our duty, but we are not victims. We can't eat.”
”But...” what else does Guo Xiang want to say.
The soldier said again, ”we have rules!”
Guo Xiang was suddenly speechless and moved. Our soldiers are both principled and lovely people.
”Forget it!” Gu Zhennan said.
”Still want to thank you!” The soldier saluted you and ran back.
