On the afternoon of April 18,
Nie Zhenbang returned to Yizhou City once again. This time, Nie Zhenbang came for earthquake relief and rescue efforts as well.
The convoy entered the Yizhou urban area, and at this moment, no roads were closed. There were no welcoming parties or ceremonies. Everyone was still silently working, participating in the rescue effort.
Now, a full six days, a total of 144 hours, had passed since the disaster struck. By this time, the chances of finding survivors were likely very slim. However, all the rescue teams had not given up. Search dogs and various advanced rescue equipment were put into use, and now, everyone had but one hope: to save yet one more life.
In an unremarkable pile of residential building rubble, in what appeared to be one of the older residential areas in Yizhou City, rescue workers from across the country were busy working amidst the ruins. Armed police and firefighters were all engrossed in their urgent tasks.
