Chapter 50 Appendix "Horror" Zone Rescue "King of Horror Fiction"

On the afternoon of May 14, Zhu Dake, a professor at Tongji University in Shanghai, called me: Novelist Li Ximin was trapped in the mountains near Yinchanggou in Pengzhou, and there was no news for three days! I was taken aback. Li Ximin is known as the "King of Horror Novels" in China. His representative works of suspense, reasoning, and horror include, "Blood Money" (this newspaper's "Dushu" edition once introduced), etc. I have a relationship with him. Contact.Zhu Dake said that he came alone to write novels at his friend's Xinhai Villa in Jiufeng Village, Longmenshan Township, but unexpectedly, he was "obliterated" by a tragic and unprecedented earthquake...

According to Zhu Dake's prompt, I got in touch with Yu Yimei, the responsible editor of Shanghai Wanrong Book Company.Li Ximin is a signed writer of the company, so it naturally affects all aspects of nerves.After being reminded by Yu Yimei, I finally got in touch with Zhao Wenqing, the tour guide of Xinhai Villa.He confirmed that the room where Li Ximin lived was on the fourth floor, half of which had collapsed after the earthquake, and the other half was tilted in the Baishui River.Li Ximin was crushed by the collapsed steel beams.There he cries for help in pain, part of his body still visible outside.

This situation was seen by the tour guide at around two o'clock in the afternoon on the 13th.They have been trying to rescue, but there is no tool to pry the beams.After the tour guide reported Li Ximin's critical situation to an independent regiment of the Jinan Military Region, he was evacuated to downtown Pengzhou. According to the latest data analysis, the roads and bridges leading to Yinchanggou were terribly damaged by the earthquake, and traffic control has been implemented. Moreover, Yinchanggou, which is located between two mountains, almost no longer exists... Just when they were at a loss, at 4:00 pm on the 14th, Sichuan Traffic Radio suddenly broadcast the news of Li Ximin's search.

Zhu Dake was extremely anxious, calling from time to time to ask questions.Since there was no response, I was fidgeting, and together with my colleague Bai Lang from the Evening News, I started to call several radio hotlines non-stop, but all the hotlines were airtight and high fever. We used a landline and three mobile phones to call. After several hours, still can't get in. Later, I finally got in touch with Zhao Yugang, the owner of Xinhai Villa.He said: "Not only Li Ximin, but also my sister-in-law, cousin, brother and the wives of the two chefs were all buried in the villa... My villa invested more than 20 million yuan..." He said that the rescue team did Rescue is being carried out, but because the road is completely damaged, it is difficult to reach the villa for a while.He decided to form a rescue team by himself.

Early on the morning of the 15th, I began to post "rescue posts" on the Tianya community, praying that the Internet would produce miracles.A few minutes later, I learned that a well-known writer born in the 1980s had arrived in Chengdu and was actively preparing supplies to venture into the mountains to rescue Li Ximin.I immediately called Zhu Dake and asked him to tell the writer that it was inappropriate to act rashly.Many acquaintances and strangers gradually came to the "rescue post", as if they were participating in a round table meeting... This "rescue post" immediately became the content of Sina's homepage at noon on the 15th: "Rescue Li Ximin", let thousands of Wan's netizens are worried...

On the Internet, I found Li Ximinju's latest blog post "Death Is So Real" (April 29, 2008): "I was breathing heavily in the dark, and my chest seemed to be pressed down heavily. I can't see anything, I just heard a small and cold voice ringing in my ear: 'Li Ximin, you are dead.' How am I dead? I clearly feel that I am still alive, My thinking is still so sensitive, but I can't move, my whole body seems to be bound..." I hope that "I am not dead, how could I die!" will support a space for him—even if it is a space where he can breathe. At noon, Zhao Yugang, the owner of Xinhai Villa, called: Li Ximin’s comrade-in-arms Yi Yanduan and the rescue team had arrived at the villa, and they could hear Li Ximin’s faint cry for help in the ruins, but he was pressed by huge steel beams. tools, no more ways...

On the afternoon of the 15th, I saw exciting news on the Tianya Forum: Netizen Siren Gesheng and others successively posted posts saying "Li Ximin has been rescued".I immediately called the wife of Ximin, and she said that the rescue is still underway... In the almost desperate waiting, at four o'clock in the afternoon, I called the mobile phone of Zhao Yugang, the owner of Xinhai Villa, and he confirmed that Li Ximin was indeed saved.It was rescued by the People's Liberation Army.Speaking of this, he sighed deeply: "However, my relatives, my sister-in-law, cousin, younger brother and the wives of the two chefs, there is no news of them surviving so far. I'm afraid it's a bad luck..." I could hear the strong sense of despair in his words.

At this time, Ximin's wife was on a plane flying from Shanghai to Chengdu.When she arrived in Chengdu, she immediately learned that Li Ximin had been sent to Taipingsi Airport by helicopter and was being sent to the Armed Police Hospital. She immediately ran away... The situation of the rescue has been supplemented, concatenated, and corrected in many ways, as follows—— When the earthquake happened, Li Ximin was thinking hard on the fourth floor of Xinhai Villa.He thought it was a landslide.There was a horrible tearing sound from the building, and the four-story building with its full frame was crushed like a cardboard box. Under the building was a cliff nearly 100 meters deep, and below it was the Baishui River.Amidst the huge roar, Li Ximin staggered and lost his sense of direction.Suddenly, he was caught by something around his waist, and an aluminum alloy groove on the shutter fell down, tightly clamping his neck, and he felt that his lower body was being filled by continuously falling cement blocks.The house he was in had cracked from the foundation and slid towards the cliff...

Li Ximin was lying on the ground with only one hand to move. He groped around and found something. He was surprised—it was a laptop.In such a chaotic time, the phone is gone, and so is everything else.However, the laptop full of his writing efforts is still within reach!He tried to turn on the computer, and when he pressed the switch, the computer turned on!He tried wifi, but there was no signal.Li Ximin understood that it might not be an ordinary landslide. He felt extremely tired, and his eyes gradually couldn't open.He has 21 years of military experience, and experience tells him that he must never fall asleep.Because at such a time, physical exertion and excessive tension, once you fall asleep, you may not be able to wake up.He began to yell for help, and began to wipe the cement board desperately with his only movable arm, letting the pain awaken his will.He said to himself: "You must not die. You must live!"

So, he yelled every few hours... After an unknown amount of time, he gradually heard someone talking, and he shouted with all his strength; he heard someone's approaching footsteps, and he continued to shout.The people who came were his comrade-in-arms Yi Yanduan and a volunteer surnamed Xi.It turned out that Yi Yanduan, who worked in Shifang, managed to rush to Longmenshan Town to try to rescue him. On the 14th, he met a volunteer surnamed Xi from Chengdu on the way. After explaining the situation, the two walked for dozens of kilometers and finally arrived at the villa.They beat the collapsed cement slabs with hammers.Hearing the beating sound, Li Ximin said hoarsely inside: "No, no, I'm on your left. Go left!" The two beat hard until twelve o'clock in the night, but with little success.They had to stop working.

Just when Yi Yanduan was about to return to Xiaoyudong to find another way, he met another volunteer, Lin Fakang.After learning about the situation, the latter decided to return to Xiaoyu Cave on foot to call for help.Because it is the closest place to Longmenshan Town, there is only a mobile phone signal there.Although it is only a few kilometers from Longmenshan Town to Xiaoyudong, the bridge collapsed and the road collapsed, so we had to go around a long way to pass.The Xiaoyudong Bridge, which is more than 200 meters long, is the only channel for the people in the severely affected areas such as Xiaoyudong Town, Longmenshan Town and Yinchanggou to move outward. However, in the earthquake, the bridge was twisted into twists. and severely collapsed.Therefore, swimming across the river became the only way. Afterwards, Yi Yanduan encountered a rescue team from a certain air force, and he asked the army.The army decided to lead a battalion commander to use a company of troops to rescue Li Ximin and others who were besieged in the villa. At noon on the 15th, after the rescue team arrived, they immediately started fighting with hammers and shovels.At three o'clock in the afternoon, a hole was finally cut in the two-story concrete wall.Li Ximin's spirit was lifted, and he talked with the rescue officers and soldiers from time to time, telling them the specific situation he was in.When two soldiers dragged Li Ximin out of the cave, the strong light made him unable to open his eyes.Ah, how good it is to be alive in spite of all the scars!He didn't break a bone or even become dehydrated.Yi Yanduan told him that 76 hours had passed since the earthquake! Unfortunately, none of the other people who were buried in the entire villa survived...
