"President Pei, something happened."

The heavy rain did not stop at all, and Qiao Nan and his party were forced to stay in the cave. Every two hours, two people would be arranged to go to the entrance of the mountain together to see if the driver came to pick them up as scheduled.

In the last two hours before dark, it was Qiao Nan and Qiu Ran's turn to go out to check the situation.

The two trekked to the finish line in the rain, but there were no signs of vehicles passing by at the entrance, and even the hints they left behind remained untouched.

The driver who had made an appointment to pick him up had never been seen.

Qiao Nan glanced at the phone again, but there was still no signal, and tried to make an emergency call, but the mechanical sound still reminded him that he was not in the service area.

After six o'clock in the afternoon, the sky in the distance was already dark, and the end of the winding mountain road that stretched into the distance was engulfed in deep darkness, with no end in sight.

From here to Fengxi Village, the map shows that it is more than 30 and nearly [-] kilometers away.Given their state and the bad weather, some people might not be able to hold on before reaching the populated places.

Qiao Nan wiped the rain off his face, and said to Qiu Ran, "Let's go back before it's dark."

When the two returned, Lao Li and the others all looked over earnestly. Seeing the two shaking their heads silently, they all silently looked away.

The sky outside had completely darkened, and as night fell, they could only continue to stay where they were, trying to survive tonight before trying to figure out a solution.

The relatively dry drawing board easel has been burned, and the wet branches recovered from the outside are difficult to burn. After finally burning, thick smoke will rise again, making people unable to stay.They could only put out the fire. Now that it was dark, the cave could hardly be seen.

There was a faint light from the mobile phone in the cave, and someone suddenly said in a low voice: "My mobile phone is also turned off."

This sentence made the atmosphere even more depressing.

From yesterday to today, they have been in the mountains for two days and one night.When I go out to sketch, what I bring is limited.The charging treasure has been out of power for a long time, and the snacks have been eaten too much, and some people have caught a cold because of the rain and cold, so they can only bear it.

Depressed sobs sounded softly, provoking everyone's nerves: "Will someone really come to pick us up?"

"There will be." Lao Li was the only elder, trying his best to reassure every uneasy student: "Even if the driver doesn't come to pick us up, the people in Fengxi Village know that we have gone into the mountains, and if we haven't returned for two or three days, they will We will call the police. The police will come to us, maybe the heavy rain has delayed the progress of the search and rescue, so don’t panic, wait a little longer, maybe someone will come tomorrow.”

But if you talk too much about comfort, the effectiveness will be greatly reduced.

The atmosphere of despair infected everyone. At first, only the girls cried in a low voice, but later even the boys couldn't hold back their emotions.

Qiao Nan squeezed the phone, and glanced at the blacked-out phone screen.

Just now, his mobile phone ran out of power and shut down.

"When Qiu Ran and I went out, we tried to send my brother a lot of wechat messages and text messages for help. I took a look just before the phone was turned off, and one of the wechat messages was successfully sent." Qiao Nan swallowed, maintaining a calm expression The voice said: "My brother will definitely find a way to find us when he sees the news."

"Really?"

"Then we can wait for rescue for two more days?"

Qiao Nan made a "huh" forcefully: "It's raining heavily outside, we don't lack water. Let's save a share of the remaining snacks, and we can still survive tomorrow. If it doesn't work, there are forests everywhere, let's find some plant roots You can’t starve to death. In the worst case, you can wait for rescue after three or four days. Our most serious problem now is not food, but hypothermia and illness. If you are comfortable, you must say it in time."

His tone was very firm, like a shot in the arm, which dissipated the desperate atmosphere in the cave a little, and gradually cheered up some people.

When I got off work, it was raining harder outside.

Pei Xu drove back to the Boting Mansion, and as soon as the door opened, Qiao Xiaobai greeted him wagging his tail.

Before Qiao Nan went to Guibei, he was afraid that Qiao Xiaobai would become a left-behind puppy, so he specially sent him to Pei Xu.

After Qiao Nan left for more than half a month, Qiao Xiaobai's hair has grown a lot, the white fluff is thick and feels quite good.

Pei Xu touched it, ready to cook dog food first.

Just passing by the floor-to-ceiling windows and looking at the rain curtain illuminated by neon lights, the right eyelid suddenly jumped up without warning.

He took out his mobile phone and looked at it. The wechat message he sent in the morning did not reply at night.

He frowned, and after he sent another message to Qiao Nan, he hesitated and contacted Old K.

It's just that old K, who usually replies very promptly, didn't reply this time.

All kinds of abnormalities made Pei Xu feel more uneasy. He searched the news on the Internet, and only found some sporadic news reports about the red warning of rainstorm and disaster prevention in Guibei, all of which were published by local news media, with little traffic.On the Weibo square, however, there are already some local netizens in Guibei asking for help, saying that they were trapped on the roof of the building by the flood and so on.

Guibei is mountainous and rainy, and floods are not uncommon.

Thinking of Qiao Nan and Old K who had not heard from him, Pei Xu couldn't sit still any longer, and immediately called Zhao Bo: "Book me a ticket to Ziyun tomorrow, and then contact the staff who were connected with the poverty alleviation project before, and ask him The disaster situation in Guibei, the sooner the better."

Zhao Bo quickly checked the status of the business class air tickets, and wondered: "The torrential rain continued in Guibei, and the flights were canceled or delayed."

Pei Xu didn't hesitate: "Then you inquire about the situation first, and I'll drive there directly."

After hanging up the phone, he was going downstairs to drive.

Just after entering the elevator, the phone rang again, and the caller ID was Old K.

Pei Xu's heart relaxed immediately, and he connected the phone.

But the old K's words made his heart sink to the bottom of the valley again: "President Pei, something happened. Mr. Qiao didn't come out after entering Hongya Mountain yesterday morning. The winding road into the mountain was impassable due to landslides." , I have no way to go into the mountains to find people. Shitai County is too severely affected, and there are rescues everywhere, and there is no way to spare people to go into the mountains to search and rescue."

Old K's signal is poor and intermittent: "Shao Qiao has been in the mountain for two days and one night. The communication base station was damaged by lightning and floods in a large area before, and now it has just been repaired—"

Before he finished speaking, he was forced to end the call because of the poor signal.

Pei Xu sent him a text message and asked him to wait there.Then he immediately called Zhao Bo back: "No need to inquire, contact the Flight Control Bureau immediately to apply for a rescue and disaster relief flight plan, and say that Xunan is willing to support a batch of supplies and disaster relief drones to the disaster-stricken areas in Guibei. Then Ask Peng Yi to contact a few professional private search and rescue teams and rescue supplies, go to Guibei with me, and meet directly at Nanjiang Airport."

After explaining, he quickly went downstairs and drove to Nanjiang Airport. At the same time, he called Qiao Shi'an and his wife respectively, and informed them of Qiao Nan's disappearance in the mountains.

There is a private jet under Xu Nan's name, but there are too many restrictions on the use of private jets and it is troublesome to apply for routes, so most of the time it is just a decoration, parked on the apron of Nanjiang Airport.

It was already 15:[-] p.m. when Pei Xu arrived at Nanjiang Airport. The emergency relief route only needs to be applied for one hour in advance, and the flight department will reply with approval or disapproval [-] minutes before the scheduled departure time.

At 35:[-], the flight application was approved.

At 45:[-], the private search and rescue team contacted by Zhao Bo rushed to the airport.

At 25:[-] in the morning, all emergency relief supplies were in place.

At 42:[-] in the morning, the plane took off from Nanjiang Airport and rushed to Ziyun City, Guibei.
