Chapter 149 Disaster Relief
~
As soon as the Lord God died, most of the dark clouds in the sky dissipated instantly, and the rainstorm also became noticeably smaller.
Ruan Zhao found the remaining blood sacrifice gods and killed them directly. The dark clouds in the sky then dispersed and the rain stopped.
What surprised Ruan Zhao was that Ming Ye did not appear again. He wondered if he had gone to look for Hong Feng and the others.
Thinking of this, Ruan Zhao hurried back to where Hong Feng and the others were. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Ming Ye did not show up.
Hong Feng's eyes lit up when he saw Ruan Zhao coming back, "Comrade."
Ruan Zhao glanced at the surrounding mountain that was still crumbling and frowned.
The heavy rain stopped, but the mudslide had already occurred.
Her magic could stop the black clouds caused by evil spells, but it could not stop the mudslides caused by heavy rain.
In order to minimize the damage caused by this disaster, Ruan Zhao immediately decided to use necromancy.
Without further delay, Ruan Zhaoxian looked at Hong Feng and the others and said, "Team Leader Hong, let me take you down the mountain first."
Hearing that she actually knew his identity, Hong Feng was surprised again.
But thinking that she was the one who saved him, Hong Feng did not doubt that she was a bad person and nodded in agreement. "Okay."
Walking was no longer an option, so Ruan Zhao took out a few teleportation talismans and asked the three of them to hold hands. Then Ruan Zhao grabbed Hong Feng and activated the talismans to bring them to the nearest troop.
Hong Feng had witnessed too many fantastic things today, and the shock in his heart could no longer be described in words.
Ruan Zhao pointed to the military gate not far away and said, "Team Leader Hong, that's the Yancheng military camp. You'll be safe once you get in there. I still have to go back and rescue people, so I'll leave first."
Ruan Zhao left after she finished speaking, and Hong Feng hurriedly called her back. "Wait."
Ruan Zhao paused and turned to look at Hong Feng. Hong Feng walked up to her and said, "Can I ask your name? I hope to repay you for saving my life if I have the chance."
Ruan Zhao smiled and said, "No need to repay. You work for the country, and I saved you for the country, so this is not a favor, it's just what I should do."
After saying this, Ruan Zhao turned around.
Hong Feng looked at her back with a serious look, then straightened his body and saluted her.

The mudslide came too quickly and the people were unable to evacuate completely.
After Ruan Zhao and Hong Feng separated, they went straight to a place on the mountain where yin gathered and set up a spirit-calling formation.
Then he took out the Yin Ling hairpin and, before they died, summoned the souls of the victims who had been buried by the mudslide into the Yin Ling hairpin.
Ruan Zhao breathed a sigh of relief only after the souls came out. Now he didn't have to be too anxious. He could just put their souls back after rescuing their bodies.
After summoning the souls, Ruan Zhao went directly to the worst-hit areas and first rescued those victims who were trapped but not in any danger of life.

The Hucheng Military Region is adjacent to Yancheng. As soon as the mudslide broke out, Commander Wu received the news and immediately sent troops and medical teams to provide support.
Although Qin Zongwu and Wu Rui arrived first, the mudslide had already erupted for more than half an hour by the time they arrived.
As soon as the two got out of the car, they rushed directly into the disaster area with their men.
The troops and military doctors led by Lu Yan arrived shortly afterwards, and together with the local troops and medical team in Yanshan, a large-scale search and rescue operation was quickly launched.
It was just because the search and rescue was done in the dark and we could only rely on flashlights to illuminate the area, so the process was not smooth.

"Run!"
In a village southeast of the foot of the mountain, there was a deep ditch, and the mudflow rushed down and rushed into the village along the ditch.
Some villagers reacted quickly and ran to the high ground on the side of the deep ditch in time to escape the disaster, but some villagers did not escape.
Seeing that the mudslide had rushed into the houses, the adobe houses quickly collapsed, and the villagers who escaped kept shouting in panic.
Shen Yanqing and Luo Yang, as medical soldiers who came to support, just happened to come here with Lu Yan's team.
Seeing a child not far away about to be washed away by the mudflow, he was so scared that he cried loudly on the spot. Everyone was very anxious.
Lu Yan had already led people to the front to rescue. Shen Yanqing hesitated for only a second and was about to run over to save them, but was pulled back by Luo Yang. "Don't go!"
After Luo Yang finished speaking, he pulled Shen Yanqing behind him and rushed out.
Seeing Luo Yang running over, Shen Yanqing called out to him anxiously. "Luo Yang!"
Luo Yang ran to the child, hugged the child and ran back, but it was too late.
Seeing that the mud flow was about to knock Luo Yang and the child to the ground, Shen Yanqing's pupils widened in shock. She hurried forward and grabbed Luo Yang's hand and pulled it hard.
The two men fell to the edge of the ditch together, and the villagers nearby came to help and pulled them out in time.

An hour later, the mudslide finally stopped.
Other places were fine because the terrain was high and the mudslides passed through quickly.
There was only one village in the southwest, but because the terrain was too low, it was completely buried by the mudslide.
When Qin Zongwu and a team of people came to search for survivors, they saw a ray of light floating on the water below in the darkness.
He shone the flashlight over there and found that several villagers were trapped on the half-sloped roof.
On the water, Ruan Zhao was paddling a wooden boat, trying to rescue them.
On the high ground nearby, there were already many villagers she had rescued.
The family's house was made of bricks and tiles, so it was not collapsed by the mudslide, but several villagers were turned into mud figures.
It was winter now, and these people were soaked in mud and water, huddled on the roof and shivering.
When Qin Zongwu saw this, he immediately shouted to the people behind him, "Push the wooden valve in!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the people behind him immediately pushed a wooden raft in.
Qin Zongwu stepped on it directly and then paddled towards Ruan Zhao.
Fortunately, a lot of the mud and sand in the mud flow had settled down, so although the wooden valve was moving slowly, it would not sink.
After Ruan Zhao reached the rooftop, he shouted to several villagers, "Come down quickly."
However, their hands and feet were already numb from the cold, and their bodies were shaking with fear.
A man saw someone coming to rescue him, and struggled to get up. Just as he was about to step down, his feet went weak and he almost fell into the mud.
Fortunately, Ruan Zhao was quick-witted and grabbed him in time, pulling him onto his wooden valve.
Seeing that these people were unable to move, Ruan Zhao was about to go help them when Qin Zongwu's voice came from behind. "I'll do it!"
Ruan Zhao turned around and saw Qin Zongwu. He was stunned for only a second before he decisively chose to step back.
The roof was a slope, so Qin Zongwu jumped directly on it and carried people down one by one.
But the wooden valve was too small and could only carry one person at a time, so the two of them went back and forth several times before they brought everyone back.

After everyone was rescued, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
But before everyone could be happy, a boy named Shuanzi started crying and shouting.
"Uncle PLA soldiers, my father and my uncle are still in the mountains. Please go and save them."
Because there is no work in the fields in winter, many old hunters in the village will go into the mountains to hunt, and sometimes they will stay in the mountains for two days. The father and uncle of this child were among those who went into the mountains during the heavy rain.
A nearby villager couldn't help but say, "Your father and uncle went up the mountain a long time ago. It's raining so hard, they must have died long ago."
Shuanzi got anxious when he heard this. "You're talking nonsense. My father and my uncle are veteran hunters. They won't die."
"I'm telling the truth. Now that the mountain has collapsed, how could they still be alive?
If you let the People's Liberation Army go up, what if something dangerous happens?"
"Yes, Shuanzi, your father and uncle are probably long gone."
"impossible!"
Qin Zongwu saw them arguing and interrupted them. "When did your father and your uncle go up the mountain, and where did they come from?"
Shuanzi wiped his tears and replied, "I went up yesterday afternoon, from the mountain road over there."
Qin Zongwu looked in the direction he pointed and found that the mountain road over there had been destroyed by the mudslide, and there was a sea of mud everywhere. He frowned immediately.
Shuanzi, however, felt that his father was not dead, so he grabbed Qin Zongwu's arm and begged, "Uncle, my father and my uncle hunt all year round. They are very familiar with the mountains. If there is any danger, they will definitely hide. So they will definitely not die. Please go and save him."
Qin Zongwu was about to speak when Ruan Zhao came over. "Shuanzi, do you know your father's birth date?"
Qin Zongwu looked at Ruan Zhao, his eyes changed but he didn't say anything.
Shuanzi was stunned for a moment, then shook his head.
Ruan Zhao asked again, "Do you have anything your father used?"
This time Shuanzi thought of something and bent down to take out a slingshot from his belt. "This slingshot was given to me by my father. He used it before."
Ruan Zhao's eyes lit up, he took the slingshot and turned to walk aside.
A minute later, Ruan Zhao returned to Shuanzi and handed the slingshot back. "You're right, your father is not dead. We will save them."
Shuanzi didn't know who Ruan Zhao was, but he felt her words were believable. "Thank you, sister."
Ruan Zhao nodded, then turned to look at Qin Zongwu and said, "They are not dead, they are trapped in a cave."
Qin Zongwu's eyes tightened, and without hesitation, he said, "I'll go with you."
Ruan Zhao nodded, "Yeah."
After she finished speaking, she turned and walked towards the path on the side.
Qin Zongwu turned around and said a few words, then followed with two people.
