But in response to him, there was only a "zzz" sound.

"It must be geomagnetic interference with wireless communication." Han Yue quickly made a judgment, "All members of the second team’s search and rescue squad!"

"Here!"

"Quickly organize your rescue tools and prepare to save people!"

"Clatter!"

Just as he gave the order, a hand suddenly reached out from the soil covering the crash site, followed by a head wearing a red safety helmet, waving and shouting: "Hey! Hey!"

"It’s a Bafang firefighter! Two people, follow me!"

Leaving these words behind, Han Yue hurriedly rushed over.

Without a second thought, Gu Ji put down Xiao Jian and caught up, slipping on rescue gloves as he ran. Together with Han Yue, he quickly dug out the soil around the firefighter and, after confirming no injuries or heavy objects pressing on him, each grabbed an arm and pulled him out of the dirt.

"Woof! Woof!"

Meanwhile, Xiao Jian, who had darted to another slope, suddenly sniffed the dirt, sat down, and stretched his dog head toward Gu Ji, barking.

"Mr. Han! There’s a situation!"

With his trained dog sense, Gu Ji immediately understood the rescue dog’s message. After a quick heads-up, he first checked the slope’s structure to ensure stability before climbing up to dig with his hands. He soon felt a hard object.

A light brush revealed part of a red helmet!

"Found a Bafang firefighter!"

Gu Ji shouted while continuing to dig, finally uncovering the full view.

Unfortunately, the person had fallen unconscious from oxygen deprivation, with a leg trapped between rocks, unable to move, "Medical team, come quickly! Rescue squad, bring a hydraulic jack!"

Just as the words left his mouth, Gu Ji realized.

He might have said a bit too much; his current role was a dog-handling rescuer, not the team leader. So he glanced back at Han Yue, who was rescuing others on the other side, and added with a slight awkwardness, "Hey, should we do it like this, Mr. Han?"

Han Yue raised an eyebrow, seemingly remembering.

When the aftershock occurred, it was this dark-skinned kid who first shouted for everyone to hide behind the bus.

"Yes, get the hydraulic jack up here!"

Upon hearing Han Yue’s order, a figure hurriedly caught up, holding a hydraulic jack in hand, sliding it into the gap between the boulders, "Heh heh, leave the rescue work to me!"

The sound was familiar to Gu Ji.

Turning his head, he saw another dark-skinned young lad with small eyes and a simple look, smiling foolishly at him with a mouthful of white teeth. On the chest of his combat rescue suit, a name was sewn: Wang Yuexi.

"Don’t you recognize me? The one you just helped pull out, I’m Wang Yuexi, from the rescue squad. You look older than me, just call me Xi Zi!"

"I know you, I’m Bian Shizhang."

It was then that Gu Ji understood.

The 62 search and rescue team members assembled for this mission were likely drawn from different squads, unfamiliar with each other. Otherwise, someone would have talked to him by now.

Watching one Bafang firefighter after another being rescued.

Gu Ji knew the people were safe for sure.

Because it was just a landslide triggered by an aftershock; if it were on flat ground, squatting in an open area would have done the trick.

But here was the mountain road.

Seeing the front road completely blocked by dirt and large rocks indicated the path was entirely sealed off. Moreover, their bus was smashed to pieces and couldn’t start.

He looked down at the task time limit in the lower left corner.

More than half an hour had passed.

That meant there were only 80-odd minutes left to reach the seismically designated point.

The road was blocked, with no vehicle.

How would he get there?
