The "leadership meeting" that lasted almost overnight finally had a result at dawn.

A temporary self-rescue leadership group was established, leading by Zheng Quan, the captain of the customs anti-smuggling team, including Feng Bin, the captain of the y-city armed police riot prevention team who led the team to participate in the anti-smuggling operation, Chen Liwen, deputy captain of the y-city economic investigation team, and Qi Jianjun, deputy director of the Center of the Supervision Brigade of the Municipal Labor Bureau, who handled the wage request of dock workers. A total of 10 people became members of the self-rescue leadership group.

Regarding the question of "what happened", the leaders of the self-rescue team still did not give people a positive answer, but said that they were actively contacting the superiors of various departments to carry out disaster relief.

At 8 a.m., Qi Jianjun finally found Su Zining who was sleeping soundly in a corner of the ruins. The young man holding the imported cotton pillow tightly accepted the first task of this almost expired boss with a confused look on his face - counting all the accident personnel present, including the casualties.

The reason? It’s because Su Zining is the only subordinate of Qi Jianjun who can find a job. For a long time, Su Zining has been his assistant.

With the assistance of a customs anti-smuggling team member and a small dock security guard, Su Zining spent nearly three hours completing the first job on the first day after the disaster.

There were 498 survivors at the accident site, including 14 seriously injured, 52 minor injuries, and 32 people who died after being dug out of the ruins. Among the survivors, there were 425 men and 73 women, including 19 under the age of 12...

"It's not bad, the statistics are so carefully? Are you studying management?" Zhou Kemin, a customs anti-smuggling team member in charge of assisting statistics, looked at the form handed over by Su Zining, and was a little surprised.

The table not only records the basic number of people, but also classifies multiple categories according to gender and several age groups, and even marks family relationships.

"If you do things for the leader, you must think that it is possible that the leader will take on what he wants again." Su Zining shrugged his shoulders, looking like he was used to it, "Otherwise you will find that you have to spend more time doing work that should not be repeated."

"Haha, Brother Su is indeed an old man!" Zhou Kemin suddenly realized and felt embarrassed to touch his head, "I just remembered to go to count the heads."

I'm a veteran? Maybe... If anyone stays in a government agency for a few years and doesn't understand these things, then he won't even think about making a breakthrough when he's old.

At noon, Qi Jianjun from the self-rescue leadership group held a big loudspeaker and began to shout at the river beach. The general meaning was to form a voluntary search and rescue team and go south along the river to find survivors who might have lost in the downstream area.

Within 10 minutes, the temporary search and rescue team was established, with a total of six people. Su Zining, Yan Xiaosong and Zhou Kemin were voluntarily, and the other two were specially assigned by the leaders of the self-rescue team, including an armed policeman and a ship doctor for a bulk cargo ship.

The last volunteer was a bald man. Su Zining knew him, the organizer of the migrant workers who asked the dock to ask for a salary on the day of the accident. A retired non-commissioned officer Dong Jiunan, a northern man who asked the mayor to come forward to find an explanation. However, Su Zining did not believe that the burly man in front of him, who was over 1.8 meters tall, was only 25 years old.

With Qi Jianjun's disclosure, Su Zining was promoted to be the leader of the search and rescue team. Su Zining had no objection to the result except frowning in her heart.

In addition to carrying basic search and rescue equipment and some food and drugs, the only riot policeman in the team also carried a Type 81 automatic rifle, which made the man Dong Jiunan look bad. No wonder, a riot policeman with live ammunition at a grand ceremony for wages for migrant workers is a very bad memory after all.

Because he is in a dense forest area along the river, the land is almost unimaginable, so the team also called the only motorboat carried on the customs anti-smuggling ship. The driver is Zhou Kemin, a customs anti-smuggling team member.

"Direction?" Yan Xiao tightened his backpack tightly, and while stepping into the motorboat, he grinned at Su Zining, the top commander of the team.

Direction... Looking at the river flowing south again, Su Zining chanted two words while exhaling.

"southward."

...

...

The motorboats are moving slowly along the east side of the river. The banks of the river are forests and forests. You can occasionally see large green river beaches, wetlands and swamps on both sides of the river.

The farther south is still an extremely wide waterway. Apart from the sound of flowing water and motors, it is quiet, and the entire river basin is like an undeveloped primitive land.

Su Zining looked at his watch and it took about two hours from the start to now. Judging from the speed of a motorboat, he went south by less than 10 kilometers. Except for occasionally finding some deer-like wild animals in the woods on the east side of the river, there were no signs of anyone being smoked.

From the time of departure to now, Yan Xiaosong has been holding his small drawing board to draw something carefully, and from time to time he looks away for a few seconds.

The rest, except Zhou Kemin, who was driving a motorboat, was humming a song softly, the others were as silent as Su Zining. The muscular man even held the edge of the motorboat with a nervous look on his face, holding a pair of telescopes in his hand.

Not long after, Dong Jiunan suddenly raised an arm, Zhou Kemin quickly extinguished the motor, and everyone followed the man's arm and saw an area with traces of human activity on the edge of the east bank of the river. It was a small piece of river beach grass on the edge of the forest.

The motorboat was docked, and the armed policeman holding an automatic rifle jumped out first, and then the Liaodong man followed closely behind with a fire axe on his side.

The slightly yellow weeds on the river beach were almost at the waist, but a simple shack made of several logs was still looming among the weeds.

The river beach was not big, and soon we arrived at an area full of gravel. The wooden shack had decayed and collapsed, and there were many irregular stones scattered around it. A small cross made of wood stood on the edge of the abandoned camp.

There were some letters and numbers engraved on the cross. Although the numbers were blurry, they could still vaguely identify "1577-1610". This scene made the six people present look at each other. Because, including Su Zining, they did not recognize these Western words that were obviously not English.

"What do you think?" The Liaodong Han was the first to break the silence.

"No one has been here for at least five years, and this is a cemetery." Yan Xiaosong walked around the cross twice, holding his hands to his chest, "A cemetery of Westerners has been dead for hundreds of years."

"Brother Su, Brother Yan, are we going to continue taking the boat and walking forward?" Zhou Kemin looked around with a little nervousness, as if the safest thing is the small motorboat now.

"No, since you can find traces of people living here, it means there may be more discoveries around you." Su Zining shook his head and turned his head to the armed police and the accompanying boat doctor. A riot policeman with tender hair on the corner of his mouth and a short boat doctor in his thirties. "Cheng Peng, you and Dong Jiunan are in their group, go east and remember not to go too far into the forest. Yan Xiaosong and I continue to walk south along the river bank. Xiao Zhou and Lao Zhao, you will be on the motorboat and we will meet again in two hours."
