Chapter 949: Human Suffering
Li Yi and others directly sent the mother of seven or eight children and one child to the nearest hospital. Now the area near the hospital has become a shelter. Many tents have just been set up, many of which are hospital medical tents. The terrain is relatively high in the city, and basically only the first floor was slightly submerged. However, it was quickly blocked by security guards and others with flood control sandbags.
The hospital can be said to be overcrowded now, and the surrounding open space is also full of people. There must be thousands of people. The hospital has hired a master chef from a nearby restaurant and is cooking now, but he wants to cater for thousands of people. Food not only requires supplies, but also sufficient equipment, manpower, etc. Fortunately, there is a police station nearby, and the police are maintaining order. Most people are silent and have lost contact with their relatives and friends, and A haze hung over the entire hospital, and it could be seen that everyone was suppressing their emotions.
Li Yi smacked his tongue. If he was allowed to stay here, it would be better to let him go out to save people.
Because it was so depressing, there were many children crying.
A police officer who looked quite old saw Li Changchun and others coming back in a rubber boat and rescued many people, so he immediately came over to greet them.
"Officer Xu, I'm sorry, we don't have enough manpower and equipment, so we can only rescue a few children at a time!"
The veteran policeman known as Officer Xu immediately saluted Li Changchun and others and said, "What are you talking about?
I also want to thank you! The meal will be ready soon, come and have some? "
Li Changchun waved his hands and said: "No, no, we won't eat if we don't want to eat. There are a lot of people over there! We have to take advantage of the daylight to make more trips! It will be troublesome at night! When the temperature drops, it is easy to kill someone!"
Police officer Lao Xu immediately responded and said: "The communication is still under repair, thank you for your hard work! Take this!"
What was handed over was a walkie-talkie. Although it could not communicate with the outside world, it was still somewhat useful within a short distance.
Li Yi followed Li Changchun and the others and left directly, heading to the direction with the most people.
“There are more people living in these houses in the old city than in those high-end communities.”
Flicking the walkie-talkie in his hand, Li Changchun sighed and said, "Do you know why?"
After Li Yi frowned and thought for a while, he subconsciously said: "Is it because you are reluctant to move out, or because you can't afford a house?"
Li Changchun sighed slowly again and said: "If you can move, who wouldn't want to move?
Who wouldn’t want to live in a better place?
That’s what I say, but in the end it’s still because I have no money and no conditions…”
"Didn't you see the situation inside the home of the first child we rescued?
In a small house, the living room, kitchen, and bedroom are all here. A small house of fifty or sixty square meters is basically the same as an adobe house. They live in a place like this. This is crazy. Damn it, God would let them suffer such a disaster..."
At this moment, another old member of the rescue team said: "I just inquired with the locals. The rent here is the cheapest compared to the rent in the shanty town. It costs 20 yuan a month. Living in People here basically do small jobs on weekdays, take care of children, work as nannies, or go out to work, moving bricks. The lowest-paying jobs in the city are basically all taken by these people..."
"I asked someone about the child's father before. He cleans the streets. He gets up at around three o'clock every day and sets out to clean the streets at around four o'clock. All he eats for lunch is the leftover fried dough sticks from the morning. I can’t wait to eat fried dough sticks all day long. Compared with them, our life is actually pretty good.”
The father of the child, the family that Li Yi and the others rescued first, is probably in danger. I heard that the mother of the child made money by sewing, mending, and washing clothes. Now this family only One child remains.
Li Yi sighed, feeling his eyes tingling for a while, and then remembered what that bastard said before, as if other people's life and death had nothing to do with me, is that still a human being?
Li Changchun next to him saw Li Yi like this, patted him on the shoulder, pondered for a moment, and said: "The future is still in the hands of young people like you. I don't want this society to become too developed, I just want it to be more The human touch is already pretty good.”
Li Yi nodded and said: "Yes, this world has always been humane, but we haven't seen it yet."
The group of people came to the previous area, and this time they picked up some elderly people with weak legs and feet. Of course, there would be many people pointing fingers, but Li Yi and the others didn't take it to heart at all.
The little gangster with messy dyed hair wanted to say something else, but was forced back by Li Yi's sharp eyes.
There were three old people sitting on Li Yi's rubber boat. When he was about to continue going down, he suddenly felt something was wrong. Li Changchun also reacted immediately. He subconsciously looked at the rubber boat and found that it was slowly going down. Shen!
"It's leaking air!"
Hearing Li Changchun's words, Li Yi immediately reacted and came to Li Changchun's side. He saw two small holes, which were obviously opened at some time. Li Yi immediately blocked them with his hands, but this can only be said. It’s a drop in the bucket.
"Pull quickly and find a place to put the old man down first! See if you can fill the hole!"
However, the speed of going down to the city is getting faster and faster. Although Li Yi tried very hard to block it, it was in vain.
At this moment, several rubber boats suddenly appeared on the street opposite!
Li Yi felt relieved when he saw the person sitting above him!
These people are wearing camouflage uniforms!
The troops are here!
Li Yi let go of his hand with relief at that time.
The rubber boats saw the situation here and gathered around one after another. There were many people, seven or eight of them were seen, and they were all large rubber boats that could seat ten people.
"What's going on here?"
A middle-aged man saw Li Yi and others, signaled to stop, and then stepped forward to ask.
Li Changchun said: "Hello, our rubber boat has a leak, so we can't leave for the time being. There are old people on it..."
The middle-aged man waved his hand and said: "You all come up, let's talk after you come up!"
Several officers and soldiers in camouflage uniforms came forward and helped the old man down. After Li Yi and others went up, the middle-aged man saluted several people and said, "Sorry, we are late, we will take you back first!" "
