Chapter 963 On the way home

In addition to Li Luo and Lu Jingcheng, the car on the way home was also packed with members of the Fire Team.

They looked exhausted, each bearing the marks of hardship.

I saw that several of the male members looked as if they had just returned from the battlefield. Their bodies were covered with mud, and they looked like people who had just struggled out of the mire.

Their clothes have long been filthy with mud, and their faces are covered with mud. Only their eyes can barely make out their original appearance.

Their hair was disheveled, like weeds blown by the strong wind, and every strand seemed to tell the story of the hardships they had experienced.

Looking at the two girls, Chai Yutong and Zhou Mei, compared to the male members, their situation is slightly better.

But he was not immune. There was dust on his hair and cheeks. Although he was not as embarrassed as the male members, he had also lost his former delicacy and brightness.

The originally clean and fair skin was covered with a thin layer of dust, making them look a little more embarrassed.

There are also obvious stains on their clothes. Although they are not as exaggerated as the male members, it can be seen that they have experienced many twists and turns during this mission.

There was a dull atmosphere in the whole carriage. Everyone was too tired to talk and just sat quietly, as if they were still immersed in the battle and exhaustion just now.

Everyone's face was full of fatigue, and their eyes showed a trace of confusion and loss that was not easy to detect.

That's right, each of these members of the Fire Team is just like Lu Jingcheng. Ever since this terrible disaster struck, they have never been able to truly take a moment to relax.

They run on the front line of rescue all day and all night, and they are there wherever there is need.

That is to say, Lu Jingcheng felt sorry for his team members. He knew that everyone was exhausted and their bodies couldn't bear it after working so hard and needed rest to restore their strength.

So, he forced them to follow him back to rest. Otherwise, these team members might still be dealing with the remaining finishing work.

There is no other way, they are such a group of brave and determined people who are willing to sacrifice everything for the safety of the people.

At this moment, the only sounds in the car were the sound of the car engine and the sound of rain hitting the windows. The two sounds were intertwined together like a tired symphony.

The vehicle drove slowly on the road like a sluggish snail, and the slight sound of the wheels rubbing against the ground was particularly clear in the silent atmosphere.

The scenery outside the window is also quietly changing, from the devastated ruins to the familiar residential streets.

Li Luo quietly stared at the scene outside the car window, with complex emotions welling up in his heart.

Her eyes passed over the once familiar buildings, but now they had become somewhat unfamiliar.

She thought of the people she saw who had unfortunately passed away in the disaster, and their faces before they died kept reappearing in her mind, filling her heart with sadness.

She also thought of those victims who were successfully rescued. Their eyes and tears of gratitude made her feel that everything she had done was worth it.

She also thought of the days when she struggled alone in disasters in her previous life. Those scenes seemed to have happened yesterday, vividly before her eyes, and so truly unfolded before her eyes.

Lu Jingcheng was also looking out the window quietly, his eyes showing a mixture of exhaustion and relief.

He knew that although this disaster brought unbearable pain and huge losses to people, it also allowed them to see the brilliance and power of human nature.

They have used their actions to prove to the world that humans will never give in easily when faced with difficulties.

They are not afraid of dangers and difficulties, always stick to the front line of rescue, and try their best for those in trouble.

.........

As the vehicle slowly arrived at the residential area, the group found that the scene here was in sharp contrast to the disaster area they had just left.

This was the site of a major reinforcement project for the shelter, and the sturdy building still stood upright during the disaster, unscathed.

Moreover, in order to prepare for possible disasters, the houses here are equipped with lightning rods, so the same tragic situation as in the disaster area does not occur, as if they are two completely different worlds.

However, the streets are now filled with dead silence and deserted.

The once bustling and lively scene has disappeared, replaced by a breathless and oppressive silence.

The shops on both sides of the road have their doors tightly closed, and the green belts used for decoration have now been completely eroded by acid rain and are gone.

The vehicle drove slowly past, bringing up a piece of turbid muddy water, without any sign of life.

Everything here seems so desolate, which makes people feel a deep sadness and sadness, as if even the air is filled with sour taste.

Li Luo withdrew his gaze and turned to look at Lu Jingcheng. Their eyes met in the air, and each could read the determination and persistence in the other's eyes.

They knew that although the scene in front of them made people feel heartbroken and helpless, they still had to move forward. For the people they loved and for the future of this land, they had to make more efforts.

After a fairly short journey, the group of vehicles finally slowly drove into the villa area.

This once peaceful and elegant place now looks completely different from before.

Looking around, residents wearing heavy protective clothing stood at the door of almost every house. Their figures looked a little heavy and tired.

These people are busy and busy carrying out a series of reinforcement work such as decoration and renovation of the houses where they live.

Temporary protective facilities have been set up on the exteriors of many houses, and those steel frames and glass panels appear to be crumbling in the wind and rain.

All kinds of materials are piled up and messy, as if telling the hard work of people to deal with the disaster.

The entire villa area was filled with a tense and depressing atmosphere.

After driving for a short distance, the vehicle slowly stopped on the road in front of an exquisite single-family villa.

"Captain Lu, Captain Li, we're here." The official driver said respectfully.

As he spoke, he unbuckled his seat belt and wanted to get out of the car to see them off, but Lu Jingcheng, who was sitting beside him, raised his hand to stop him.

Then he and Li Luo looked at each other again, and then thanked the driver together:

"Excuse me, comrade, for sending us back from this far away."

"Thank you for your hard work, comrade, and thank you for sending us back."
