"All right! Team One stays on the first floor to support them. Teams Two and Three, quickly follow me upstairs."
Chu River breathed a sigh of relief and continued:
"You handle the rescue, I’ll make other preparations."
As she spoke, she stepped over to the nearby display stand and immediately began dismantling various components from two wobbling machines on the floor.
Her actions seemed out of place at the moment, but with everyone racing against time, no one paid attention to it.
Chu River moved swiftly. If anyone noticed her hands, they’d see they were moving so fast they left afterimages.
One machine wasn’t enough, so she went to find another. Once she gathered all the parts, she quickly ran to the center of the hall.
There, a 120-inch television screen lay shattered on the ground.
At this moment, no one could assist her, but she wasn’t flustered at all. With a quick scan, she formed a plan and started repairing it rapidly with the parts she gathered.
— Although few rescue personnel had arrived, they were well-trained and physically strong, far surpassing the group of survivors.
If everything went smoothly, the few survivors on the ground would soon be evacuated.
However, the rescue efforts for those trapped underground and in the debris of abandoned structures would be the most difficult and time-consuming.
Ten minutes later, Chu River successfully raised the cracked screen up onto a high platform.
She inspected it for two minutes and, finding no issues, quickly stopped the busy team captain beside her.
"Find someone, quickly go to the warehouse and bring me a set of generators!"
The captain, drenched in sweat, shook his head and refused:
"No, time is tight, we can’t afford to delay on this. All personal communications are paused."
However, Chu River held his shoulder firmly, with such strength that he couldn’t lift his body:
"I need sufficient efficiency to save more people — go find it!"
Her words were firm and powerful.
"We’ll soon need to rescue those trapped below, and I have a way, but I need power!"
The captain looked at her.
This young girl with a tender face had organized the rescue of nearly a thousand people in the nearly two hours before they arrived.
At this moment, without needing much thought, he agreed.
"Hu Lian, Cheng Zhang, go to the temporary warehouse now and bring a set of generators!"
The warehouse was under tight lock, and while Chu River could get them herself, the rescue personnel had specialized tools...
Chu River quickly weighed the efficiency of both sides in a split second.
This was the reason for her suggestion.
The two rescue personnel took the order and sprinted off.
Without another word, Chu River immediately squatted down to take over their rescue tasks.
With her strength and familiarity with the situation, she swiftly pulled out a victim, whose body was half-trapped, impressing the captain beside her.
At this moment, he finally understood why just 139 survivors could rescue so many people in such a short time.
Fifteen minutes later, the generator was set aside while stretchers moved back and forth around Chu River, barely keeping up with her rescue pace.
She stopped for a moment, quickly stepped up, and started to debug and run the large screen. As the huge screen lit up in front of her, Chu River suddenly raised her voice—
"Dragonfly, commence rescue!"
Little Yellow, who was hard at work, froze, and the small satchel at his waist started vibrating rapidly. Read complete version only at novel-fire.ɴet
Before he could unzip it, the metal dragonfly, which Chu River had been adjusting for the past few days, hovered in the air and automatically activated its rotor blades.
The next moment, a mechanical electronic voice filled the entire venue—
"Special disaster scenario detected, permissions 100% unlocked."
"Rescue operation initiated."
