Ninth Military Region.

As the commander of the military region, Lu Zhan, and the political commissar, Duan Weiguo, and others, none of them were asleep at this time, waiting in their offices for the latest news.

After all, this was a landslide, and it happened suddenly in the middle of the night.

They dared not imagine how many deaths would occur this time.

Lu Zhan walked to the window, and as he looked at the raging storm outside, his expression became even more solemn.

This storm is so unusual.

However, what upset him even more was the landslide.

Why did this landslide have to happen so late at night?

It should be noted that even during the day, the soldiers would find it difficult to move an inch in the face of such a fierce storm, yet now they still need to go there for rescue in the dead of night.

This was extremely dangerous; the soldiers would be in grave danger if they were not careful.

After all, this landslide was the most unstable one, and who knew that it would happen again while the soldiers were carrying out the rescue.

Even though they knew it was extremely dangerous, they did not hesitate at all, because it was their duty.

As for him, all he can hope for now is that the landslide didn't destroy too many houses and that the death toll wasn't too high.

"Report!"

Suddenly, a voice came from outside the door.

"fast forward!"

Lu Zhan trembled and immediately spoke loudly.

Duan Weiguo and the others also stood up and looked at a soldier who had run back soaking wet.

"Reporting to the leaders, Regiment Commander Lei has asked me to return and consult with the Commander-in-Chief, requesting that all military vehicles in the military region be driven over to transport the injured villagers to the hospital for further treatment, and at the same time, to transfer the other uninjured villagers to a safe place to settle them down."

"Please give instructions, Commander!"

The ground fighter immediately asked, "How's it going over there? What are the casualties?"

The soldier reported loudly, "Commander, all the villagers have been found. Among them, 352 are injured and 15 have been confirmed dead."

Lu Zhan shuddered. While the number of wounded had startled him, the death toll was completely unexpected.

You have to understand, this is a landslide. Once it's washed away, there's a high chance you'll be buried inside.

Once buried, it can kill a person in a very short time.

However, the number of injured has reached 352, but the death toll is only 15, a ratio that is absolutely unexpected.

He couldn't help but ask, "How could so many people be injured? How many houses did this landslide destroy?"

The soldier replied, "Commander, Zhangjia Village has a total of 55 households. 38 households were destroyed, leaving only a dozen or so households that survived."

"Moreover, the reason we were able to rescue the villagers so quickly is that almost all of them were swept into open areas, and we were able to find them unconscious as soon as we arrived."

Upon hearing the soldier's words, Lu Zhan's expression immediately became extremely solemn.

For some reason, I feel like something's not right about this.

The houses were destroyed by the landslide, and these people were swept into an open area.

How is that possible?

Shouldn't they have been trapped under the houses and buried in the mudslide?

How did it get washed into an open area?

Moreover, 38 households were destroyed by the flood, but now all of them have been found.

This rescue was incredibly fast!
