Chapter 585 Rescue

Because of this earthquake, surrounding cities suffered serious losses, and the plan for a major counterattack was seriously affected. A large number of troops were forced to abandon some of the captured cities and retreat in a panic.

Some troops were completely wiped out without even a chance to retreat, which can be said to be very unlucky.

The most important thing is that because this earthquake caused a large number of buildings in the city to collapse, if you want to return to normal after recovering the city, you will have to consume a lot of materials and manpower for reconstruction. It is really unnecessary.

Instead of wasting these materials on reconstruction, it would be more cost-effective to directly expand the current gathering place.

…

Cai Wenjie, who had escaped from the city, regrouped his troops and found that the earthquake had taken away at least one of his platoons, that is, thirty people. At least more than a hundred people had been slightly injured, and three people had been injured. Seriously injured.

Fortunately, Cai Wenjie could redeem medical supplies at any time, and with the timely treatment of military doctors, the lives of the three seriously injured people were still saved, but they may not be able to live on their own in the future.

This situation once made the three seriously injured people feel desperate. Out of despair, they even committed suicide. Fortunately, they were stopped by the surrounding soldiers, otherwise Cai Wenjie could only see three corpses at this moment. ♦♦  ♦♦

When Cai Wenjie came to the temporary medical station where the three of them were, they were in a daze of despair. Two of them had permanently lost their arms and a thigh, and one had lost all his limbs.

How could they not despair in this situation, especially since they were all soldiers. Losing limbs also meant that they would no longer be able to participate in the next battle, or even be unable to take care of themselves in a short period of time.

This huge gap was the main reason why the three of them gave up on themselves. However, when they felt Cai Wenjie's arrival, they still ignored their seriously injured bodies and determined to sit up. Even if they lost their arms and legs, they did not want to Cai Wenjie saw his embarrassed side.

"Hello, Chief"

Seeing the appearance of the three of them, Cai Wenjie had a lot of things he was holding back in his heart but couldn't say out. His thousands of words could only be turned into a sigh.

"You three, rest assured and recover. I promise you will never be a burden to me. I am also capable enough to support you. You are not waste, you are heroes! You must understand this clearly."

After speaking, Cai Wenjie suddenly paused, and then continued to lose.

"If you still feel that it won't work, I have a secret research project here that just needs your help, but the premise is that you are willing to get better immediately. Don't worry, this is not a lie to comfort you. I really need your help. Testing some new equipment"

Cai Wenjie's heartfelt words finally allowed the three of them to regain a glimmer of hope for living. They longed to be needed. Before they committed suicide, they just couldn't see a glimmer of hope for the future. What Cai Wenjie did was to make this Hope brings them. ♦♦  ♦♦

What's more, Cai Wenjie didn't lie. He did have a secret project that needed their help. The goal of this secret project was very simple, which was to research mechanical prostheses.

Everyone knows about prosthetics, but mechanical prostheses are not very common, and what Cai Wenjie wants to do this time is the kind of mechanical prostheses that can be used in the military.

This kind of mechanical prosthetic limb can allow people with amputated hands and feet to regain the ability to move, and can also use some black technology equipment attached to the prosthetic limb.

Anyway, as long as it can be successfully developed, it will be an auxiliary product that can be of great help.

After finally instructing the military doctor to take good care of the three of them, Cai Wenjie left here. Now that the earthquake has stopped for a while, it seems that there will be no aftershocks in a short time, so he plans to form a rescue team to return to the city to rescue the victims. The soldiers' bodies were exhumed.

The soldiers who failed to escape during the earthquake had detailed lists. These were submitted by each squad leader, platoon leader, and company commander after detailed confirmation, as well as the details of the locations of the missing soldiers during the earthquake.

A total of 24 soldiers were missing in the earthquake. Most of them were unable to escape from the building in time and remained in the building when it collapsed. No one knew whether they were alive or dead.

No, now there is one person who knows whether these people are alive or dead, and that is Cai Wenjie himself. Apart from anything else, the exoskeleton armors worn by these soldiers are all subsystems of the Kirin system. As long as Cai Wenjie puts on his own exoskeleton, You can understand the status of all subsystems, including the survival status of soldiers.

Thinking of this, Cai Wenjie immediately took out his exoskeleton and put it on directly.

"Qilin! Help me check the status of these 24 people!"

Cai Wenjie took out the list and started to read the names on it. Because everyone's exoskeleton is fixed, you can know the current situation of these people just by distinguishing the exoskeleton number based on the name.

"Inquiry...

No. 146…killed in action

No. 149…killed in action

No. 154…Survival

No. 158…killed in action

…

Statistics completed! 19 people were killed! 5 people survive! Start uploading detailed addresses of surviving soldiers"

The Kirin system began to report the survival status of the 24 missing soldiers one by one, and automatically uploaded the location of the surviving soldiers to the internal network of all exoskeletons, so that everyone knew clearly where these soldiers were now.

Originally, Cai Wenjie planned to lead the team himself, but because of a sudden report, Cai Wenjie had to give up this idea and could only let a platoon leader lead the team to rescue the trapped soldiers.

"Report to the chief! The commander of the fourth company stationed on the bridge sent a message for help!"

"What! Did the zombies break through their defense line?"

"Report to the chief! The fourth, fifth and sixth companies stationed on the bridge have all their ammunition reserves scrapped due to the earthquake. We need to transport a batch of ammunition as soon as possible..."

Cai Wenjie understood what happened when he heard this, and he had to go there in person for this matter.

"I understand. Tell them that the ammunition will be delivered soon. Let them hold on!"

"Yes!"

After instructing the signalman, Cai Wenjie immediately led his guard team and boarded a few armored vehicles to the bridge.

At this time, due to the earthquake, the entire bridge was broken into two sections in the middle, so the zombies were crossing the river from all sides, which also caused great difficulties for the soldiers to expand the defense line.

In addition, all the ammunition reserves were swallowed up by the cracks in the ground, causing them to rely on the few ammunition in their hands to resist, which made the situation even worse.
