Simulation Game: Crisis Management

Chapter 690: Chapter 311: The Mysterious Mine Cave

What’s going on?

At first, everyone thought they misheard until Yian Qingwen at the command center asked, realizing that someone was indeed calling for help.

However, to avoid interference between different rescue teams, each radio channel is different.

Theoretically, such a sudden crossover shouldn’t happen.

Unless...

"Emergency SOS?" Zou Lei frowned and asked.

The reason he said this is that by pressing the emergency SOS button on the radio, one can transmit messages to the command center and several nearest radios, establishing an emergency channel, used only in exceptional circumstances.

A moment later, the Bafang command center asked twice more on the emergency channel.

Seeing no one answered.

Through the built-in positioning system of the military radio, it showed the current signal disappearance was from the United States rescue team, and the two teams closest to them were the Saudi Arabia rescue team and the Xia International Rescue Team where Gu Ji belonged.

As a result, when Bafang wanted to ask Saudi Arabia if they were aware of the United States rescue team’s situation.

Unexpectedly, Saudi Arabia also did not respond at all.

At this point, anyone with common sense could tell something had happened to them and they only had time to send out one SOS message.

After a moment of silence, Yian Qingwen suddenly spoke on the radio:

"Just now, Bafang confirmed that both Saudi and American rescue teams are completely out of contact. The military radio’s last known signal was in the northeastern mountainous region of the quake zone. The two teams originally planned to search for trapped people in the mine today, and it’s likely that the recent 6.2 aftershock disrupted the radio signals."

"Currently, Bafang has urgently dispatched a helicopter to search the target area, and your current position is the closest rescue team to the target. Saudi and American command experts are requesting us to proceed to the target point for rescue, Han Yue..."

By the end, Yian Qingwen did not finish his sentence.

After all, they had just narrowly escaped from the factory and hadn’t had time to rest before having to rush to another dangerous underground mine to save people, even animals can’t be worked like this!

Therefore, he didn’t agree right away.

Instead, he left the decision to Han Yue or each rescue team member.

Han Yue frowned slightly, turning to look at his subordinates soaked in the river water, seemingly trying to assess everyone’s physical condition.

At this moment, Gu Ji raised his hand, "Mr. Han, the Saudi rescue team helped us once before, shouldn’t we..."

"Yeah, Mr. Han, whenever a natural disaster occurred in our country, Saudi Arabia has always been one of the top donors in terms of money and supplies. Now that they’re in trouble, we should help them too."

"I also think it’s right to help."

With Gu Ji’s first words leading the way, gradually, many others began to agree to lend assistance.

As they say, ’A small favor, returned with a great favor’.

In the end, Xia people are very grateful.

Seeing everyone voice their support, Han Yue also firmly stated, "Mr. Yian, the members are fine, give the order anytime."

"Alright." Yian Qingwen’s words were full of strength.

The spirit of the rescue team not fearing hardship at critical moments undoubtedly gave him a lot of face in front of commanders from other countries.

"Han Yue, lead your team immediately to the mine area, confirm the situation of both Saudi and American personnel, and cooperate with Bafang to conduct rescue on the spot. Remember, after the aftershock, the internal structure of the mine will definitely be very fragile and dangerous, be very cautious and always report back to the command center, understand?"

"Don’t worry, I guarantee the mission will be completed!"

After retracting the radio, Han Yue began directing everyone to move towards the shore.

Fortunately, the water flow downstream had slowed significantly. With everyone’s concerted effort, they finally pushed the inflatable boat to the riverbank.

"Everyone, treat your wounds immediately. Security team, you and the medical team leave half your men behind, first transfer the severely injured team members and the trapped to the camp for treatment. The rest, except for essential rescue equipment, go light and advance to the mine at full speed."

"Understood!"

Once ashore, Han Yue quickly made team arrangements, categorizing the injured into groups. Out of the sixty-one members, only about thirty elite remained, focusing mainly on Gu Ji’s search team and Wang Yuexi’s rescue team.

Gu Ji removed his helmet and took off his combat gear. His whole body seemed dehydrated, significantly thinner, with his face, wrists, and neck all red, touching them felt burning hot, like a severe sunburn.

He endured the burning pain on his wrist and forcefully wrung out the water from his clothes.

Then he took out a personal first-aid kit from his backpack, preparing to apply medicine and treat the skin corroded by chemical gases.

The reason Gu Ji was so driven to lead the team to rescue Saudi Arabia and America.

Mainly it’s because of the ultimate task requirements.

He had just taken time to carefully analyze the two newly refreshed goals in the game.

"Ensure the smooth operation of the rescue"—in essence, this means avoiding accidents. Specifically, like the chemical factory explosion earlier, which they almost didn’t escape from; and if you look further, it includes the actions of all rescue teams from Bafang, Saudi Arabia, the United States, the United Kingdom, etc.

This step already has a valid reason to agree.

Another more important reason is the latter part of the ultimate goal: to improve international media evaluation!

How to improve evaluation?

Besides saving more people, it’s by demonstrating outstanding spirit in disasters, and helping foreign trapped rescue teams out of trouble is evidently an excellent way to boost goodwill.
