"In a moment, just stay on the helicopter; don't come down with me."
Tang Xiaohua paused, "I'm your bodyguard, how can I not follow you?"
Out of consideration for the presence of the Dongheng Military District Commander, Wen Nian didn't say much more.
The helicopter found a relatively high spot to land. The mountains had collapsed, and the houses built along the hillsides and water had all been destroyed.
Since the earthquake occurred, the tremors were strong and incessant, making it impossible for rescue personnel to get close to the disaster area until three o'clock this morning, more than three hours after the quake, when the first batch of rescue troops entered the area.
However, the extent of death and injury had already far exceeded people's imaginations.
At this moment, it was half-past ten in the morning, eleven hours since the first strong tremor.
