Gu Ji and Han Yue shouted one after the other, reminding everyone.

The rescue personnel inside the bus quickly jumped out through the shattered windows, while those standing to the side responsible for moving equipment hurriedly scattered towards the front of the bus.

The bus was already tilting downward.

One of the female medical staff, holding the cardiograph equipment, couldn’t get out in time and slipped, tumbling down the slope.

Gu Ji immediately tensed his legs, leaping forward with astonishing speed.

Just as the female medic was about to fall, he grabbed her ankle with his right hand, and with his left hand, seemingly out of nowhere, drew out a short shovel, stabbing it fiercely into the ground, "Chi chi chi..."

"Woof! Woof!"

"Ah—!"

"Drop the equipment! Grab the thicket!!"

The shovel was not an iron pickaxe after all, and its blade started sliding down the soil.

Fortunately, Gu Ji shouted in time, and the female medical staff finally let go of the heavy cardiograph equipment in her arms. And his rescue dog, Xiao Jian, seeing its owner in trouble, directly charged down the slope, biting Gu Ji’s sleeve and pulling him back, allowing the three of them to barely hold their ground.

But before she could breathe a sigh of relief.

The next second, shadow loomed overhead.

Looking up, she saw the massive body of the bus crashing down from the mountain road, almost grazing their heads, before hitting the ground with a heavy "boom", and then rolling towards the river at the mountain’s base.

"Quick, throw the ropes!!"

Before Han Yue could give an order, Wang Yuexi swiftly flung down a safety rope from the slope, landing it perfectly next to Gu Ji and the female medic.

"Grab the rope quickly!"

Prompted by Gu Ji, the female medic came to her senses, reached out and gripped the rope tightly, and with the rescue team’s help, both of them made their way back to the mountain path step by step.

The female medic collapsed into the arms of a nurse colleague, her face pale.

Even though they were from the Armed Police Hospital and had participated in various medical rescue missions, when truly confronted with the scene of the giant bus crashing down, their minds were filled with nothing but terror—a complete blank, as if paralyzed.

Absolutely no resistance!

"Phew, thanks, brother." As Gu Ji got up, he looked at the sweating Wang Yuexi, knowing it was he who threw down the rope just in time.

"No problem." Wang Yuexi imitated Gu Ji’s previous response, finally giving a simple smile.

"Nice skills, Bian Shizhang, Wang Yuexi, you two will be at the front of the team, leading everyone forward, no problem?"

At this moment, Han Yue came over, calling out from behind.

Gu Ji wouldn’t miss such a good opportunity to complete a mission, and decisively agreed: "I guarantee completion of the mission!"

"Me too!" Wang Yuexi shouted excitedly.

"Good, support team, how’s the equipment transport?" Han Yue turned to ask the squad leader responsible for the rescue team’s logistical support.

The support team leader shook his head, sighed, and said, "Due to the dangerous position of the bus, the team members didn’t dare to make too big movements while salvaging, only managing to save less than half."

"Half is enough; everyone prepare, set out on foot immediately!"

"Yes!"

With Han Yue’s command, the entire team moved.

Gu Ji led the way, charging up the slope with Xiao Jian, grabbing the sharp corner of a boulder, and flipping over, with Wang Yuexi right behind him.

In the rear, sixty rescue team members formed into two columns, following them.

The road across the landslide was extremely difficult, full of boulders and mud heaps, and if they encountered unstable structures, collapses could easily occur.

Fortunately, most of the rescue team members were soldiers transitioning from engineering units.

Helping each other out, they managed to make it through without incident.

Emerging from the forest into the plain road, Gu Ji was in his element.

Having gone through Jinbang’s training, he underwent daily armed cross-country runs up to 8 kilometers, and 3 kilometers of armed swim, plus he had a blue endurance mark, so stamina wasn’t an issue.

The rescue work was physically demanding, and the team was able to keep up with his pace.

But some of the medics in the team were just ordinary people, not to mention a few injured Bafang firefighters, which prevented Gu Ji from speeding up.

At this point, the logistics team leader sped up to catch up, shouting, "Mr. Yian, Mr. Han, some team members are weighed down by their equipment and can’t keep up, and the medical team reports that the injured are constantly in pain."

"Everyone, halt immediately!"

Han Yue suddenly shouted, then called Gu Ji and Wang Yuexi over, briefly explaining the team’s situation.

Looking at the time on the task clock, only 40 minutes remained.

Gu Ji turned to look at the back of the team, his mind quickly flashing through the Punjab Province terrain map he had previously sneaked a look at on the bus, quickly explaining: "Mr. Yian, Mr. Han, if someone in the team can’t keep up now, it’s likely they’ll struggle even more later."

"Beyond this plain is a new mountainous area, closer to the epicenter, where the disaster is bound to be more severe. It might be better to temporarily split the team into two. Leave some medical, injured, technical, and support staff to guard the heavy equipment, led by Mr. Yian, while standing by on site, continuing to try to contact the outside through radio."

"The remaining search and rescue team should accelerate and try to reach the epicenter as soon as possible. Upon reaching the Bafang disaster command center, they can still have Bafang send an emergency unit to come and assist Mr. Yian’s group to the disaster area."

Yian Qingwen and Han Yue exchanged a glance after listening to Gu Ji’s proposal, seeming to agree it was a good plan.

After all, they were currently in a plain area, where even if an aftershock occurred again, there would be little danger.
