[Climbing Expertise (Large)]or[Geohazard Rescue Expertise (Large)]

"Huff..."

Seeing the success of the mission, Gu Ji finally breathed a sigh of relief. Ahead, the green tents were likely the command center temporarily set up by the Pakistani government and military forces in the quake zone.

What lay before him now was the choice of game rewards.

Yellow[Climbing Expertise (Large)]: Increases manual climbing ability by 41%, finger strength by 38%, foot placement skills by 34%, and body balance control by 37%;

Yellow[Geohazard Rescue Expertise (Large)]: Increases geohazard emergency rescue knowledge by 43%, rescue mechanism development by 37%, enhances rescue skills for earthquakes, land subsidence, landslides, etc., and improves quick response self-rescue ability during geohazards by 45%.

Compared to blue marks, yellow marks have at least four or more enhancement features.

Both marks are crucial in this level, but one focuses more on strengthening and enhancing one’s abilities, while the other emphasizes macro command, suitable for team cooperation.

Gu Ji pondered for a moment.

Although this level’s positioning is national, theoretically emphasizing macro command by governments and militaries, in practice, it differs from the floods in India and MERS in South Korea.

Because he was not an official member of the Pakistani team but part of the Xia Kingdom’s humanitarian aid International Rescue Team, from policy formulation to command, it was challenging for him to have a say.

Furthermore, to better complete this rescue operation.

The country also dispatched seismic experts from the earthquake bureau, and the recent aftershocks and landslides were enough to verify their abilities, unlike the selfish fools in the India and South Korea levels.

In the end, however, Gu Ji chose the second option.

He mainly valued the last two features, both of which enhanced his self-rescue and reaction capabilities during earthquakes, significantly boosting his survival rate.

Gu Ji realized.

The risk in this Pakistan earthquake is incredibly high; one misstep could mean being buried in rubble. He must survive as long as possible to gather more information and intelligence.

A yellow light fell on the lower right corner.

In Gu Ji’s mind, a brainstorming session began again; numerous knowledge fragments stored in the medial temporal lobe of his brain, known as the hippocampus, transformed into his instinct.

"I see..."

He raised his head and looked again at the ruins-like quake zone, instantly coming up with many new rescue ideas.

[New Objective: Confirm the situation of Xia Kingdom citizens in the quake zone, strive to rescue the trapped, and ensure the death toll does not exceed three!]

Seeing this task, Gu Ji’s nerves instantly tightened again.

He immediately pulled out the action workflow sheet from his pocket, and in the section confirming the situation of Xia Kingdom citizens, he found the groups possibly trapped by this Pakistan earthquake.

They mainly included 84 engineers, electrical workers, and family members from Xia’s Capital Construction Corporation, 32 employees from joint ventures, companies, schools, etc., and 8 tourists, totaling 124 people.

The current locations of these 124 people are at the center or edge of the quake zone.

Due to earthquake damage to communication base stations and other equipment, the Xia Kingdom’s embassy in Pakistan couldn’t contact them, so the only way is for the rescue team to verify one by one.

In other words.

In this perilous quake zone, confirming the current status of 124 people and rescuing those trapped by the earthquake, while ensuring the death toll doesn’t exceed three...

The difficulty is off the charts.

While Gu Ji was figuring out how to complete the task, Saudi transport trucks arrived in front of the encampment.

Two Pakistani officials and a military officer came out to greet them.

Han Yue immediately reported their aftershock landslide situation to Bafang and requested additional support.

Unexpectedly.

A somewhat overweight Pakistani government official with gray curly hair looked troubled, "I’m very sorry, Mr. Han, Xia has always been our most important friend. It’s not that we don’t want to help, but we’re truly incapable. The vehicles, supplies, and equipment at the quake zone command center are severely lacking, we simply can’t..."

"We understand your difficulties, and we express our sincere sympathies for the incident that occurred."

Han Yue also understood Pakistan’s current predicament.

The temporary shelters set up around the command center showed, with moans, cries, and arguments every minute, ceaselessly indicating the terrifying number of earthquake victims.

He then changed his tone.

"However, Director Mr. Yian from our Emergency Rescue Division, who is leading the team, along with much professional equipment and supplies, are on the plains. They must be brought here quickly. Your command center should have military communications available, right?"

Mr. Han’s words were skillfully phrased.

First, he expressed that he didn’t mind and emotionally comforted Bafang. This elevated the "height," then linked experts and equipment with Bafang.

"Don’t you need people and supplies?"

"We have them!"

"Just provide military communications."

Since almost all communication base stations in the quake zone and aftershock affected areas were destroyed, the only means to contact is military satellite communications.

The curly-haired official, hearing how well Mr. Han put it, accompanied him and the Saudi rescue team leader into the command center.

Leaving the rescue team members circled around the camp, observing.
