Doomsday Bunker Upgrade Chapter 461: Tragic despair
After several derelict buildings were bombed, the rest of the work was easy.
Only need to clean up and level the ruins after the blasting of the building, and then it can be used to set up new resettlement sites and resettle the victims.
At the same time as new settlements were built on the settlement site, more survivors were sent over, and the airships surveying the lake area also completed their tasks.
The results were not ideal.
"Although the lake area was frozen, the ice surface cracked in a large area during the earthquake, and the ice surface was full of large and small cracks. We tried to descend to investigate, and the result resulted in further cracking and partial collapse of the ice surface. It is not suitable to set up a resettlement point." The captain of the airship who completed the reconnaissance mission reported the situation to the team leader and Chen Xin.
At this time, only Chen Xinhe and the team leader are in the command center of the resettlement site. The deputy mayor is in charge of coordinating the construction and the resettlement of the survivors at the new resettlement site.
Hearing the report of the captain of the airship, Chen Xin was not surprised by this, but he still regretted saying: "It's a pity, if we can set up a resettlement point on the lake, we can completely put all the The survivors are sent there, and the area is completely large enough to rebuild a city."
"Fortunately, we have a new resettlement site to use now, otherwise this would be a big trouble." The leader heard the news, but he was also very happy.
Fortunately, Chen Xin proposed a method of blowing up the surrounding buildings to clear an open space, otherwise they would have to worry about how to accommodate a large number of survivors.
During this time, more than 90% of the shelters in the urban area have been opened, and the survivors who have survived have been rescued.
All the survivors were rescued, which should have been a happy thing, but looking at the survivors in the resettlement site who looked blank and empty, as if their whole body had been drained of energy, they could only feel to grief and despair.
Before the meteorite hit, this city was a tourist city with a population of more than 600,000 people. It has picturesque scenery and pleasant weather in all seasons. It is known as the most suitable city for poetry and distance.
But after the meteorite impact, the surviving population of the entire city was reduced to more than half a million, and nearly one-fifth of the population disappeared in the disaster caused by the meteorite impact.
The survivors are crowded into small shelters, struggling to survive.
After receiving various technological support provided by Chen Xin from the state, life is gradually getting better. Although the post-disaster reconstruction work is not progressing fast, it is still orderly.
For the survivors in the shelter, this can be regarded as a silver lining in the predicament.
But who would have thought that the earthquake would crush the last ray of hope.
Although the resettlement site has been unable to accommodate more survivors, the rescue team has been fighting for a week. The number of survivors rescued from the rubble has been less than 200,000, and nearly two-thirds of the population has disappeared in the rubble. middle.
Although the rescue team cleaned up the rubble as much as possible and collected and counted the remains of the victims in the shelter as much as possible, when the rescue team opened 90% of the shelter, only nineteen of the bodies were collected. There are still a considerable number of the bodies of the victims buried under the rubble and cannot be cleaned up.
These remains are also unlikely to be cleaned up for a long time.
It takes a long time to clean up the collapsed city. Most of the ruins are connected to the building itself and collapsed together. Many of the destroyed shelters were not destroyed by the earthquake, but were crushed by the collapsed buildings above, hundreds of thousands of tons. It is undoubtedly a huge project to clean up the rubble.
And the remains buried under the ruins, if fortunately not crushed, will be preserved very well at a low temperature of minus tens of degrees, and it is very likely that they will not be for decades or hundreds of years. rot.
Until the future, when the dust dissipates, the sun shines on the earth again, and when the snow and ice melts, these corpses may see the light of day again, or the day they will rot.
Aside from the dead, the living don't feel bad either.
The vast majority of people are still immersed in the panic when disaster strikes. Even if they have been rescued, many people still do not recover.
And this is not bad. More people are rescued to the resettlement site and the first thing they think of after regaining their composure, is that they are buried under the ruins and have no living relatives.
The most tragic thing in the world is the parting of life and death. The earthquake brought about that almost everyone in the city suffered the pain of losing relatives and friends, and the whole city fell into pain and despair.
Chen Xin understands this situation, as does the rescue team leader and the deputy mayor. However, at this moment, even the resettlement of the survivors has not been completed, so how can they have the energy to rekindle people's sympathy? Hope for life?
Even Chen Xin couldn't think of a good way to face this situation.
For Chen Xin, this is the second time he has experienced such a situation where an entire city has been plunged into disaster.
Last time in Linshi, relying on his performance and the strong support of the country, the situation was finally turned around, but this time, he was somewhat at a loss.
The two cities themselves suffered different disasters. Linshi was just buried in a snowstorm, and the medical system collapsed due to the surge in patients, rendering the entire city inoperable, but the infrastructure was not damaged.
Disaster relief is just to resolve the main contradiction, and the situation can be quickly improved.
But this city is completely different, and its situation is far more serious than the neighboring city.
Almost all the shelters in the urban area are no longer usable. Most of the shelters have completely collapsed, and those that have not collapsed have been damaged to varying degrees. , the survivors who survived suffered a huge blow to the spirit...
So many problems are weighing on the city ~IndoMTL.com~ that even if you want to solve the problem, you can't find a place to start.
Everything needs to be solved urgently, and nothing is easy to solve.
The disaster victims need to rebuild places where they can live, and the resettlement sites can only be temporary resettlement; the survivors who lack food and clothing need more survival materials, and the transportation by the ark is only a drop in the bucket; the loss of industrial and agricultural production capacity, even if they want to rebuild It is also necessary to open up the railway transportation lines to re-import raw materials and equipment; the loss of population...
Only by solving these problems can the survivors who managed to survive from the ruins regain their hope for life.
Otherwise, it would be difficult to even survive, and there would be no hope.
Perhaps for ordinary survivors, these issues do not need to be considered immediately, but how to settle down as soon as possible, and at the same time search and rescue survivors that may exist in the urban area, but for Chen Xin, the team leader, For leaders like the deputy mayor, it's time to start thinking about these issues.
And the best way to solve these problems is undoubtedly to rebuild a new city.
