Chapter 463: Tragic despair

6 min read1,392 words

After several abandoned buildings were bombed down, the next job was simple.

Only need to clean up and level the ruins after the blasting of the building,

and then it can be used to set up new resettlement sites and resettle the

victims.

While building new settlements here, more survivors were also sent over, and

the airships that surveyed the lake area also completed their missions.

The result is not ideal.

"Although the lake area was frozen, the ice surface cracked in large areas

during the earthquake, and the ice surface was full of large and small cracks.

We tried to land and conduct surveys. As a result, the ice surface was further

cracked and partially collapsed, which was not suitable. Set up a settlement

point." The captain of the airship who completed the survey task reported the

situation to the team leader and Chen Xin.

In the command center of the resettlement site, only the leader Chen Xinhe was

present at this time, and the deputy mayor was in charge of the overall

construction of the new resettlement site and the resettlement of the

survivors.

Hearing the report from the captain of the airship, Chen Xin was not surprised

by this, but he still regretfully said: "It's a pity. If we can set up a

resettlement point on the lake, we can completely remove all the survivors in

the urban area. Send it over there, the area is completely large enough to

rebuild a city."

"Fortunately, we now have a new resettlement site to use, otherwise it will

still be a big trouble." The team leader heard this news, but was thankful.

Fortunately, Chen Xin proposed a way to blow up the surrounding buildings and

cleared a vacant lot. Otherwise, they would have to worry about how to arrange

a large number of survivors.

During this time, more than 90% of the shelters in the urban area have been

opened, and the survivors have also been rescued.

The survivors were all rescued. This should have been a happy thing, but

looking at the survivors who looked dull and hollow, as if their whole people

were drawn out of their spirits, they could only feel sadness and grief.

despair.

Before the meteorite hit, the city was a tourist city with a population of

more than 600,000. It was picturesque and has a pleasant climate in all

seasons. It was known as the most suitable city for finding poetry and distant

places.

However, after the meteorite impact, the surviving population of the entire

city was reduced to more than half a million, and nearly one-fifth of the

population disappeared in the disaster caused by the meteorite impact.

The people who survived were crowded into small shelters, struggling to

survive.

After the country received various scientific and technological support from

Chen Xin, life is gradually getting better. Although the post-disaster

reconstruction work is not progressing fast, it can be considered orderly.

For the survivors in the shelter, this can be regarded as a glimmer of hope in

the predicament.

But who would have thought that the earthquake would crush the last gleam of

hope that people have.

Although the resettlement site could no longer accommodate more survivors, the

rescue team fought for a week, and fewer than 200,000 survivors were rescued

from the rubble, and nearly two-thirds of the population disappeared in the

rubble.

Although the rescue team did their best to clean up the ruins and converge and

count the remains of the victims in the refuge as much as possible, when the

rescue team opened 90% of the refuges, only 190,000 remains were converged.

There are still a considerable number of victims whose bodies are still buried

under the rubble and cannot be cleaned out.

These remains will be unlikely to be cleaned out for a long time.

It takes a long time for the collapsed city to be cleaned up. Most of the

ruins are connected buildings that collapsed together. Many of the destroyed

shelters were not destroyed by the earthquake, but were crushed by the

collapsed buildings on the upper floors. There are hundreds of thousands of

tons of ruins. To clean up is undoubtedly a huge project.

And those corpses buried under the ruins, if lucky not to be crushed, will be

perfectly preserved at a low temperature of tens of degrees below zero, and it

is very likely that they will not decay for decades or hundreds of years.

Until the future, when the dust disperses, the sun shines on the earth again,

and the ice and snow melt, these remains may be seen again or just decayed.

Except for the dead, the living are also uncomfortable.

The vast majority of people are still immersed in the panic when the disaster

strikes. Even though they have been rescued, many people still have not been

relieved.

And this is not bad. After more people were rescued to the resettlement site,

the first thing they thought of after their spirits calmed down was not other

things, but their relatives who were buried under the rubble and did not

survive.

The saddest thing in the world is the separation of life and death. What the

earthquake brought about is that almost everyone in this city has suffered the

pain of losing their relatives and friends, and the whole city has plunged

into pain and despair.

Chen Xin understands this situation. The leader of the rescue team and the

deputy mayor also understand it. However, at this moment, even the

resettlement of the survivors has not been completed, so how can they spare no

effort to rekindle hope for life? ?

Even Chen Xin couldn't think of a good way to face this situation.

For Chen Xin, this is the second time he has experienced such a situation in

which an entire city has fallen into disaster.

Relying on his performance and the strong support of the country last time in

the city, he finally turned the situation around, but this time, he was

somewhat unable to start.

The disaster situation of the two cities is different. The immediate city is

just buried by a snowstorm. The medical system cannot withstand the surge of

patients and collapses, making the entire city unable to operate, but the

infrastructure is not damaged.

Disaster relief is nothing more than resolving the main contradiction, and the

situation can be improved quickly.

But this city is completely different, and its situation is far more serious

than that of the neighboring city.

Almost all the refuges in the urban area are no longer available. Most of the

refuges have completely collapsed, and the ones that have not collapsed have

been damaged to varying degrees. The stored materials have suffered heavy

losses, the industrial and agricultural production capacity has been

completely destroyed, and a large number of people have been lost and

survived. The spirit of the survivors suffered a huge blow...

So many questions are weighed on this city, UU reading www.uukanshu. Com makes

people even if they want to solve the problem, they can't find a place to

start.

Everything needs to be solved urgently, and also everything is not easy to

solve.

The victims need to rebuild a place to live, and the resettlement point can

only be temporary resettlement; the survivors who lack food and clothing need

more survival materials, and transportation by the Ark is only a drop in the

bucket; the industrial and agricultural production capacity is lost, even if

they want to rebuild, they must be opened up. The lines of railway

transportation bring in raw materials and equipment again; the loss of

population...

Only by solving these problems can the survivors who survived the ruins

rekindle their hope in life.

Otherwise, it will be difficult to survive, so there is no hope at all.

Perhaps for ordinary survivors, these issues do not need to be considered

right away. The more important thing is how to settle down as soon as

possible, and at the same time search and rescue the survivors who may still

exist in the urban area, but for Chen Xin, the team leader, and the deputy

mayor As far as such leaders are concerned, they must begin to consider these

issues.

To be able to solve these problems, the best way is undoubtedly to rebuild a

new city.
