"Stop saying anything, great god! Come on, hug me and don't violate the rules." Several contestants surrounded Lin Zaishan enthusiastically as if they met an idol.

At this time, Lin Zaishan's smart helmet suddenly came out of the organizing committee's broadcast: "Staff, please note that an unexpected weather condition this evening caused the airship to be unable to take off as planned. The four grids of f7, h8, h9, and g10 were not allowed to be delivered in time. The organizing committee will deliver the supply before noon tomorrow and reissue it. Please keep the relevant staff at their posts."

On the 4th day of the event, the staff stopped Li Yan, who asked to board the airship: "I'm sorry, Miss reporter, due to the continuous weather conditions, the airship cannot take off for the time being."

"When will the flight resume?"

"I can't answer you."

Li Yan saw a large group of staff wearing rescue jackets and carrying packages gathering at the foot of the mountain. Out of professional sensitivity, she immediately called the camera and followed.

"What mission are you going to perform?" Li Yan stared at the staff leader and asked.

"Accepting the order from the superior, we will deliver manpower to designated volunteers in each grid." The staff member replied.

Li Yan decided to follow them and continue to track the game.

After the team arrived at B2, they were about to march separately. Suddenly, a thunder blew up in the sky, and the powerful lightning shot from top to bottom and slashed a towering tree. Then hail as big as beans fell.

"Updated order from superiors: Suddenly, serious weather problems will occur, the competition will be cancelled. All contestants and staff, including volunteers, please withdraw back to the base at the foot of the mountain!" The leading staff shouted loudly.

Li Yan couldn't help but be shocked on the spot: "It's really so serious? Is the entire competition going to be cancelled?" A thunderclap shattered her doubts, and she quickly made a brief report: "Just just now, a shocking accident happened. A staff member told us that due to serious weather problems, the organizing committee had to announce the cancellation of the competition and asked all contestants and staff to withdraw the base as soon as possible. Under such harsh weather conditions, I wish them all peace and safety!"

Then a large number of contestants began to return, and most of them became panic to varying degrees. A small number of them were reluctant to move, and some contestants continued to stay in the mountains regardless of concern.

That night, the multiple themes of thunder, storm, rainstorm, hail, and meteorological disasters became more and more intense, and finally caused mudslides and floods. The latter was pushed down and buried the communication service tower temporarily built by the organizing committee, which directly led to a large-scale communication interruption in the Wuguniang Mountain area. Although the organizing committee had warning in advance and responded urgently, a large number of contestants and staff still failed to return in time.

At 1 a.m., in a large command car in the temporary rescue camp at the foot of Wuguniang Mountain, several senior officials were staring at the strategic screen in a staring blankly.

"Report to the head, as of now, more than 300 contestants and one volunteer have not returned to the base."

"Why are there so many people left?" the senior official shouted angrily: "What are our emergency rescue personnel doing?"

"Chief, these people who have not returned yet must be forced to stay in the most difficult grid areas such as f7, h8, h9, and g10. These areas are difficult to fly under normal meteorological conditions, and hiking is also extremely difficult..."

"No matter how difficult it is, you have to go and save it!" The senior official shouted: "Areas where both their contestants and volunteers can enter, are our rescue personnel and soldiers unable to enter?"

"Chief, the weather was sunny when they entered, and the weather conditions are too bad now. If our rescue team members and soldiers enter rashly, they may cause casualties. That would make things worse."

"Hey!" the senior official sighed and said, "If it is not resolved as soon as possible, how do you ask me to face the media and the public tomorrow?"

"Chief, our technicians are rushing to repair the communication tower. I believe that as long as the communication is restored, we can grasp the danger situation as soon as possible and provide information and psychological support to those in distress."

"Okay, let's do it like this. Let's pray that all the people in distress are good."

The next morning, the latest broadcast of beautiful reporter Li Yan appeared in the special news of CNTV: "Due to a sudden meteorological disaster, this highly anticipated event was forced to end in a hurry. As of now, more than 300 contestants and volunteers are still missing. They are likely to fall into the most difficult grid areas such as f7, h8, h9, and g10. These areas are almost human restrictions under the current meteorological conditions and cannot enter at all. When will the rescue be implemented and when will those in danger return safely? It is really worrying."

Li Yan then broadcast the report: "According to the latest news, the wild survival expert, the chief referee of the event, Bets, said he was going to go to f7, h8, h9, g10 and other areas alone to search and rescue those in distress, but this request was directly rejected by the relevant parties. According to online media reports, He Xiaotian, chairman of the well-known domestic and foreign military industry group, claimed that they had produced a model of single-soldier mecha that is fully qualified for search and rescue work under harsh weather conditions, but for many aspects

Because the relevant parties did not agree to the intervention of the military industry. A well-known American mercenary company far away on the other side of the earth actually became very interested in the Wuguniang Mountain crisis. Their CEO arrogantly stated at the latest press conference that China's wild rescue power and will are too weak. If they take action, just one elite team can complete the rescue work with quality and quantity.... At present, billions of people around the world are paying attention to the progress of Wuguniang Mountain's rescue."

At this time, in the command center of the emergency rescue and disaster relief site, the senior official in charge was furious at a group of subordinates: "For 10 hours, I didn't see a person in distress being rescued! I knew I was a layman, but I really couldn't understand why, when there were still civilians in danger, none of us, as state staff, could appear at the scene of danger as soon as possible? Why? In the face of meteorological disasters, are we all sissy who retreated? Just now, the leader and I called me, and he made it clear that if there was no progress in the rescue within 24 hours, he would come to the front line to command! I will tell you frankly that I am under a lot of pressure now!"

The senior official paused and said resolutely: "I order: All relevant state staff will be cancelled on holidays, and will be on duty and on standby 24 hours a day; all relevant cadres must take the lead in rescue and disaster relief; in addition, all elite forces in the entire system must be mobilized to participate in this rescue and disaster relief, and you are limited to one hour to deliver a list of elite talents in the entire system's field rescue to me; the 1st Battalion must arrive in the D4 area before 17 pm today to carry out rescue and establish a front-line temporary command post. At the latest, I will go to D4 to command rescue before 17 pm tomorrow! I will execute the order immediately!"

In the command center, the heads of several important departments are reporting to senior officials.

The head of the security department said: "This is the list of elite talents in our system. This is the number one candidate with comprehensive strength. Wu Chaoqun, the captain of the special police, has won military achievements many times, has gone abroad to perform missions 13 times, and has rich experience in the wild survival and the world's top wild combat skills."

The head of the sports department said: "This is our system's elite talent list. The number one candidate is Xie Lu, the dual main force of the National Track and Field Team and the Mountaineering Team. He has excellent physical fitness and outdoor sports experience, and has excellent results in mountain training and competitions."

The head of the medical department said: "This is the list of elite talents in our medical system. The number one ranks Song Chanjuan, an emergency doctor and a thoracic surgeon, has performed field medical assistance tasks many times."

The head of the education department said: "This is our system's elite talent list. The number one is Gao Pengfei, a teacher of wildlife at the provincial capital university. He once lived alone in the plateau wasteland at an altitude of 4,000 meters for 7 months in order to observe a group of wild donkeys at close range."

The head of the event organizing committee said: "We have also compiled a list of elite talents with outdoor survival skills. In addition to Bets, Zhao Dongsheng, a member of the International Field Expedition Association (Author's Note: Fictional Organization)."

The senior official nodded and ordered: "You will issue an emergency call immediately and mobilize 1-5 most powerful elites in each system. I will see them at the disaster relief site at 8 am tomorrow at the latest!"

"clear!"

A team of soldiers who rescued and rescued disasters braved the strong wind, heavy rain, and thunder and lightning, and struggling through the A1 grid, heading deep into Wuguniang Mountain. At 16 pm, they arrived in area d4. At this time, the heavy rain gradually stopped, and the strong wind became even more violent, accompanied by lightning from time to time.

The officer opened the communicator and reported to the command center: "The command center, the first battalion has arrived at the d4 grid and no one has been found in distress; here is either a slope or a valley full of water, and there is no place to build a camp! Please instruct!"

The command center quickly replied: "Order your department to implement actions as planned! You must never take a step back!"

At 19 o'clock that night, CNTV evening news broadcast a report from the beautiful reporter Li Yan on the front line of rescue and disaster relief: "I am now in the rescue and disaster relief command center, and all the personnel are in a busy working state. The staff of the press release center told me that there is no new rescue list so far. This means that more than 300 contestants and volunteers may still be in danger. Don't forget that from the beginning, they have only carried very limited supplies with them. In such harsh weather conditions and dangerous mountain environments, coupled with the interruption of communication, how do they survive the cold and violent nights that are coming soon, and how should they face the hunger problem?"

On TV and the Internet, the reports on the event and danger are overwhelming, occupying the front pages of major media. Due to many reasons, especially the two consecutive days of rescue operations have made no progress, the authorities have been questioned by many people. Some foreign media even claimed that the Chinese authorities either ignore the lives and deaths of those in distress or are powerless and lack actions.

The next morning, the senior official who had not been sleeping all night hid in the mobile bathroom alone, took out a small pistol from his pocket, held the muzzle in his mouth, and his trembling fingers were about to pull the trigger.

Suddenly, a hurrying notification came from the communicator: "Reporting to the head, 198 survivors were found in D4 area! 198 survivors were found in D4 area! The soldiers are currently assisting them in moving to the foot of the mountain!"

The senior official became lively in an instant. While hurriedly put away his pistol, he shouted loudly: "How are these survivors' physical and mental conditions?"

"Report to the heads, their physical condition is generally weak and tired, but their psychological condition is generally good."

"Great! Do they know the information about other survivors?"

"According to them, a volunteer named Lin Zaishan searched and rescued them and transported them to the D4 area to wait for rescue. The volunteer has now gone to other grids to search and rescue, and we did not see him at the scene."

"Lin is in the mountains?"

"Yes. All the survivors said that Lin Zaishan rescued them."

"How is this possible? One person rescues 198 people? Are you making a mistake?"

"Report to the Chief! These words are said by the survivors. They are expected to arrive at the foot of the mountain at noon today. Please ask them in person."

The senior officials strode into the command center, and the staff members' faces were filled with joy of living in a desperate situation.

The senior official shouted: "You will immediately send effective personnel to prepare to respond and resettle the transferred people! Also, verify and find out the information of the volunteer Lin Zaishan immediately, and report to me as soon as possible."

A staff member said: "Chief, 20 elite talents you ordered yesterday have arrived at the scene. Please review and arrange the work!"

The senior official walked to the command center with his head held high and said to the 20 elites: "I believe you are very clear about the purpose of summoning everyone. I won't say much nonsense. Now the country needs you, the masses need you, and the emergency rescue and disaster relief command center needs you! So far, there are more than 100 people in distress who are in danger. You are all top professionals in outdoor rescue and disaster relief. It is time for you to use your expertise and serve the country! I order you: prepare for the highest level of combat within 5 minutes, and head to the deepest part of Wugu Niang Mountain on time at 8:15! Do everything possible to search and rescue all the people in distress along the way!"

As soon as this elite team set off, a large number of reporters followed closely behind them. Staff from the emergency rescue and disaster relief committee came to dissuade them, but these reporters had already lost their lives in order to obtain first-hand information. After asking for instructions from their superiors, the staff had no choice but to let them go.

"If you don't dig out some dark stories, the director will quarrel with me." A foreign media reporter calculated.

"This time, we can definitely expose China's incompetence and inaction on issues such as emergency rescue and disaster relief and even people's livelihood," another foreign media reporter thought to himself.

This 20-person rescue and disaster relief vanguard team is worthy of being the elite of all systems. It arrived at the D4 area at an incredible speed in just one hour - this was a pity that the media team following behind, about 80% of the personnel completely fell behind and gave up their plan to get first-line news.

Li Yan, a beautiful reporter from CNTV, gritted her teeth and panted, following the stormtrooper far away. At this time, the stormtrooper had a brief communication with the rescue soldiers who arrived earlier. They quickly adjusted the deployment: 20 people were divided into 3 groups, heading towards g10 along the left, center and right directions.

After sipping a drink in a hurry, Li Yan broadcast the live report: "Based on the information I had during the short rest time just now, the rescuers may have contacted some of the people in distress. Judging from their expressions, they seemed very encouraging and excited. If nothing unexpected happens, good news should be coming out soon."

At 14 pm, a charge team with a big tail composed of media people came to h9. The grid is still in extreme weather conditions, with lightning and strong winds stopped, but it is still drifting heavily, with mist everywhere, and extremely poor visibility.

A tall, muscular stormtrooper who looked like a special forces king rushed into the rain and fog first, and the other stormtroopers followed in without hesitation.

"Discover the survivor signal!" Special Forces King Wu Chaoqun cheered loudly: "Contacting with him!"

"I am Wu Chaoqun, the captain of the 1st team of emergency rescue team, and I am on the h9 grid. Who are you? How are your physical condition?" Wu Chaoqun called.

A faint but clear voice came from the communicator: "I am a g10 grid fixed-point volunteer Lin Zaishan. I am in a state of excessive hunger and weakness, but I am not in danger of life."

"Brother, hold on, you are a good person!" Wu Chaoqun said: "Where are you in? Do you have any information about other survivors?"

"I am in a cave near the center point of the g10 grid. I have 105 survivors around me, 38 of whom have fallen into coma due to excessive hunger and urgently need rehydration; 17 have experienced significant acute disaster psychological trauma; the rest are accompanied by excessive fatigue and hunger, but are not in danger of life."

"Let's go there right away!" Wu Chaoqun said anxiously: "Brother, don't hang up the communicator."

"You must arrive with enough first aid supplies and equipment within one hour, otherwise there may be casualties." Lin Zaishan reminded: "The only shortcut to quickly reaching g10 from h9 is to climb the cliffs. I will hang the safety rope from the platform at a high level, and you will follow the rope."

"Okay, just do what you said!"

Five minutes later, the stormtroopers came under a cliff hundreds of meters high. A safety rope that looked very strong was hanging from the cliff surrounded by clouds and mist. All the stormtroopers stared at the safety rope intently, guessing the appearance and condition of Lin Zaishan above. Several media following immediately pointed the camera at this safety rope representing the passage of life.

15 minutes later, three stormtroopers led by Wu Chaoqun climbed to the high platform, and the rest had to stop because of insufficient ability.

Wu Chaoqun quickly sorted out his backpack, walked through a cloud of mist and bushes, and then saw a figure that would never be forgotten by him, the battle-hardened special forces soldier king: this person's body was tall and thin, and his hair was as messy as weeds due to long-term wind and rain; his face was wet and muddy; his big eyes were deeply trapped due to hunger and fatigue, his eye sockets were red and swollen, and his eyes were covered with bloodshot; none of the clothes were intact, all of them were cracks and scratches; a pair of shoes were quite complete, but covered with mud. The man seemed to have just crawled out of a trash can that had been piled up for a month; perhaps due to insufficient energy, he was almost trembling all over his body.

In normal times, anyone who sees such a person will inevitably feel contempt and disgust. However, at this moment, Wu Chaoqun, the special forces soldier known for his arrogance, couldn't help but feel tender, and tears filled his eyes instantly. He immediately raised his hand to salute this volunteer who was more like a savage and a beggar.

"I am Lin Zaishan." The volunteer responded in a weak voice.

Wu Chaoqun was worried that the other party would fall at any time, so he reached out to support him. But Lin Zaishan turned around first and said, "Come with me to save people."

The three stormtroopers immediately followed.

Lin Zaishan led them on several circles of rugged mountain roads, and a cave appeared in front of everyone. More than 100 survivors were hiding densely in the cave. These people were either determined adventurers or overestimators. After canceling the competition, they were trapped in g10 and nearby grids and were unable to transfer. They were all gathered in the cave after Lin Zaishan searched and rescued.

"Rescue is here! Rescue is here! We are saved!" Some survivors who still have physical strength began to scream excitedly.

Lin Zaishan pointed to a group of unconscious survivors and said, "They urgently need rehydration, you guys should do it quickly!"

Wu Chaoqun and others looked at each other awkwardly and said, "Doctors who know first aid cannot get up the cliff, and those who can get up don't know much about medical skills."

"Then have you brought first aid supplies?"

“It’s all in these three bags.”

"Okay, I'll rehydrate the patient. You will distribute food and water to other survivors, and remind them not to hurry!" After Lin Zaishan gave the order, he immediately picked up the first aid items and quickly injected the fluid into a coma. The moment he entered the first aid operation again, his originally trembling body immediately became stable, powerful and controllable again. Soon he connected all the comas to the rehydration device, and then walked to a survivor who was muttering to himself because of excessive tension and fear, and comforted him with a smile.

An hour later, Wu Chaoqun connected to the command center: "Reporting to the head of the report: All 105 survivors in the g10 area have been found, and no casualties! All this is because of the existence of Lin Zaishan, a designated volunteer in g10!"

The emergency rescue and disaster relief command center that has moved forward to the d4 grid immediately burst out with a long-depressed and fanatical cheer.

At 17 pm, another battalion of rescue soldiers arrived in H9 area. Ten minutes later, they began to drop the survivors tied up from the safety rope representing the life passage. The soldiers rushed over immediately, carried the survivors onto a stretcher, and then moved down the mountain.
