Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 1158

Chapter 1158: Chapter 1031: Emergency, Emergency

This was how countless victims met their end.

Yet, the stubborn instinct for survival in humans relentlessly perseveres, miraculously fighting for life.

These miracles are not just phenomena of life but also of the history of human spirit.

The Teng Mountain Earthquake, with its shocking and destructive challenge, left despair yet brought hope.

These survivors are undoubtedly the pride of humanity.

Before experiencing catastrophic disasters, it’s hard for humans to grasp the meaning of survival, nor do they realize what resilience and tenacity survival demands.

Often, the disappearance of life is not just due to external calamities but more so despair.

And tens of thousands gathered in military green gave these people hope!

Moreover, the strength of mutual aid in times of difficulty provided these despairing people with a yearning to live well.

Rescue efforts proceeded methodically...

Faced with vast ruins, under the rain, miraculous lives were pulled out from beneath collapsed panel buildings and the sunken coal mines.

Rescue operations were conducted effectively, yet Zhang Guoqing, who hadn’t closed his eyes for several days, told himself he couldn’t rest, for his work had just begun.

He fully understood humanity first faced death and pain.

However, once the danger of death had just passed and wounds had just been dressed, they faced hunger and anger.

Some people suddenly realized they were exposed, while others felt their throats burning and stomachs cramping.

Collapsed shops tossed out scattered cans and clothes during the earthquake; some people retrieved them, leading others to realize there were numerous urgently needed life-sustaining items beneath the ruins.

The ugliness of human nature emerges hesitantly in those walking toward the ruins: food stores buried with pastries, department stores pressed with clothes, hotels piled with bedding...

Initially, they may have been merely for survival, to meet urgent needs.

But when hands reach out for possessions that do not belong to them, a certain desire buried deep within people’s hearts begins to unleash.

The future is quickly slipping into an unprecedented state of sin.

As a commander, he needed to first stabilize the situation, an unshirkable responsibility!

Then Zhang Guoqing immediately sent an urgent secret message to the military committee: They must have the police department and armed forces organize a substantial number of police and militias nearby to the front line to maintain the property safety of this city.

Immediately upon receiving this secret message, several key figures in constant contact with the front line turned pale. Even the ever-calculating Zhou Xiaozheng broke into a cold sweat.

For days, everyone’s focus was on racing against time to save lives, allocating troops, and counting casualties, overlooking this matter.

One must know that, besides major department stores and supply centers, all banks and savings institutions, as well as grain warehouses with the city’s invaluable food supplies, are of critical importance.

Imagine, if tens of thousands of disaster survivors lose reason and start riots, it would undoubtedly inflict another devastating blow to the city’s reconstruction efforts thereafter.

Thus, soon after the arrival of a hundred thousand soldiers in the earthquake zone, a large number of police personnel and militias from nearby cities were dispatched to Tengshan City, which the world watched closely.

The arrival of these personnel greatly facilitated Zhang Guoqing’s work, with one order after another signed and issued from his mouth and hands to various support points throughout the city.

"All police officers and militiamen in J City shall be stationed at major banks and savings institutions."
