Hefei is the largest city in Anhui Province. However, because it is not on the Beijing-Shanghai line, it was not listed as the target of bombing during the government's bombing. The first thing that was bombed was Nanjing, not far from Hefei. However, Hefei escaped, mainly due to the transportation here, mainly from east to west, not north to south.

As the capital city of Jiangbei Province closest to Shanghai, of course, in addition to Nanjing, which has turned into ruins, Hefei became Xie Tian’s primary airdrop target. The first batch of 5,000 rescue packages were ready to be deployed to Hefei first. For this mission, Xie Tian sent three transport planes, took off the next morning and flew directly from Shanghai to Hefei. This time, Xie Tian himself boarded the plane and sat at the fork to observe the current situation in Hefei.

When the plane approached southeast of Hefei, Xie Tian looked at this provincial capital city that was not very well developed. Compared with Nanjing not far away, Hefei's development level is not high. The new district outside the city is quite good. However, due to the overlap of new and old urban areas in the city, it also seems a bit intertwined. The plane has lowered its height when approaching Hefei. The current altitude is only about 500 meters. The roaring sound of the plane attracted the attention of the zombies below. Most of the zombies raised their heads and stood in place to look at the giants passing by above their heads.

At this time, on the top floor of a shopping mall on Women's Street in Hefei, more than 20 excited humans suddenly emerged. These twenty people, including men, women, and children, rushed to the roof of the building when they heard the sound of the plane, stared at the military transport planes getting closer and closer, and they jumped excitedly and waved their hands.

Xie Tian looked at the more than 20 people from afar and said to the pilot: "Assuming the approximate location, leaning over and then dropping a few rescue bags."

"Okay." The plane began to tilt to the left. At this time, the door of the cabin behind had also been opened. The airdroppers in the cabin were already ready. These parachute-bound rescue bags were all arranged in sequence at the door. The ropes on the parachute bags were hung on the sliding curtains in the cabin. As long as the rescue bags were thrown out, the parachute would be automatically pulled open.

The pilot estimated the approximate location and used a communicator to say to the people in the cabin: "When the red light comes on, you will put ten rescue bags in a row, and move quickly."

"Received." The airdroppers in the cabin were not aware of the situation outside now, but they had understood the pilot's order and were ready for delivery immediately. At this time, the plane was almost approaching the location of the shopping mall. As soon as the deputy pilot pressed the signal light, the airdroppers behind him immediately received the signal and began to continuously drop rescue bags one after another from the hatch.

When the survivors saw the square packages thrown away, and then opened large white umbrellas in the air to approach them, everyone was so excited that they could not add them. They had been in this mall for several months. In the past few months, everyone has survived by the remaining food in several fast food restaurants in the mall. Fortunately, there was a lot of rice and flour, otherwise they would not be able to hold on until now. However, half a month ago, their food was extremely scarce. A few days ago, the adults among them had run out of food, and the limited food was left to two children under twelve years old. Seeing that they were desperate, they didn't expect to find the government plane suddenly. And what made them most happy was that the plane had actually put down the packages. They didn't have to think that they knew that this must be a rescue package.

The airdrop of the rescue bag requires pilots to have some experience. They have to determine the approximate landing point of the rescue bag based on the speed of the plane, the wind speed and direction of the outside world, and the height. When the plane delivered ten rescue bags, it was already close to the top of the mall. If it was released at this time, inertia would make the rescue bag pass by these survivors and land on the other side of the mall. So the pilot decisively closed the cabin door, and then the plane began to tilt in the air. At this time, Xie Tian could also see the ten parachutes slowly landing towards the top of the mall. What is gratifying is that seven rescue bags landed on the top of the mall, and the delivery rate was already quite high.

"It's a rescue package! It's really a rescue package!" More than 20 people caught all the rescue packages one by one. The first young man who opened the rescue package shouted excitedly and said to the people around him: "Look! Not only food, but also water, medicine, and guns! The government has finally come forward! The government has finally come to save us!"

When people are engaging in normal social life, they have little idea of ​​the government, but once they encounter dangerous disasters, their greatest hope is placed on the government. This is beyond doubt. Only the government has the ability to rescue them at this time. However, Xie Tian also felt a little painful in his heart. He has been only concerned about settle down, but he did not start to rescue survivors from other parts of the country earlier. This has to be said to be a serious mistake.

"Brother, look, there is a letter!" A girl took out an envelope and couldn't wait to open the envelope.

The young man next to her didn't care about this, so he hurriedly opened two bottles of canned beef, opened another box of instant rice, and handed it to the girl and said, "Jingjing, eat something quickly. You haven't eaten a bite of food in two days. Let me see it later!"

The girl nodded gently and looked at her brother, tears were unconsciously rolling in her eyes. In fact, everyone had not eaten for four days, but her brother had been hiding a bag of compressed biscuits on her body and was never willing to eat it. She didn't secretly let her eat it until two days ago, but he said she didn't want to eat anything. The girl knew that her brother had always loved her, and she was like this at all times. Seeing that there was so much food, her brother still gave in to herself first, which was touched and sad.

The boy also took out a box of canned fields. After opening it, he hurriedly took a few bites first. Then he stood up and said to everyone around him in a vague manner: "Don't be anxious. Don't eat too much at once. Our current state is not suitable for eating too much food immediately. You should eat less and eat more meals! Otherwise, you may be in danger of your life!"

The boy seemed to be in his early twenties, but these people seemed to be very obedient to his opinions. They were all very anxious, but after hearing his words, they immediately calmed down. Everyone was eating carefully, enduring the desire to swallow, and ate half full first.

After eating, the girl took out the letter printed in the envelope and read aloud: "My compatriots, the temporary military commission has established a new security zone in Shanghai, and the country is slowly recovering its vitality. The government will never ignore you. The supplies in it are enough for you to survive temporarily, and the weapons are reserved for self-defense. As for satellite phones and walkie-talkies, we have attached instructions. You can use the satellite phone to contact the temporary military commission rescue office to inform you of your situation, specific location, number of people and other information. Please do not act rashly, and do not try to go to Shanghai, because there is currently no bridge that can be driven through in the entire section of the Yangtze River, so please do not take risks. Believe in the government, the temporary military commission will try every means to rescue you in the most appropriate way. In addition, we also recommend that you keep the intercom on and use 460.125mhz to try to contact other nearby survivors."

"The government means that we are waiting here?" a middle-aged woman said.

"Yeah." The young man before stood up and said, "Don't worry, we are on the ninth floor of this mall, and the road we are completely blocked by us. It is impossible for zombies to come up. After so long, everyone should know that, and most importantly, now we have enough food and satellite phones to contact the government. I believe the government will definitely rescue us. What everyone needs to do now is to wait patiently."

"We have guns now! We can kill some zombies from here!" A middle-aged man gritted his teeth and said, "These zombies have surrounded us for so long. If you don't want to fight them, you're really frustrated!"

"That's right!" A man eating canned fruit in the corner raised his hand and said, "I agree with Lao Xu's intention, beat him up!"

"No hurry!" the young man said, "We don't hurry for now. The government is still constantly launching airdrop rescue packages. There must be many survivors around us. After more people get the rescue packages, we will try to contact them on the walkie-talkie to understand the situation of nearby survivors, so that everyone can also exchange information. By that time, let's talk about whether to fight zombies. The most important thing now is to wait and wait for us to find more people!"

"Okay! Listen to Chen Peng! Don't be excited for now! Let's wait!"

...

Three planes hovered over the three areas of the city center, Feidong and Feixi for airdrops. However, Xie Tian rarely found survivors as large as the more than 20 people just now, and more rescue bags were directly thrown on the ground. I don’t know if there are survivors nearby, nor do I know if they can get the rescue bags smoothly. All five thousand rescue bags were put into place. Afterwards, Xie Tian knew that he could no longer do anything else for them. After all, it was a transport plane and could not hover in the air to rescue part of them. Moreover, there were many zombies in Hefei. Although Hefei Airport was not damaged, it was impossible for the survivors to complete the gathering at the airport.

After returning to Shanghai, Xie Tian immediately came to the newly established rescue office located at Pudong Airport. When he arrived at the rescue office, the phone number here had been blown up. The four phones could not handle the call requests of the survivors. While answering the phone, the four people recorded the specific information of each call on the computer, such as: which area of ​​the survivors who called were located in Hefei, or even to which street, building, which household, and how many other survivors are around him, gender and age.

These information were recorded one by one, and then on another computer, someone collected the information from four computers and then conducted statistics. Xie Tian came to the person and asked, "How many survivors are there now?"

"One thousand six hundred and twenty people." The man listed a sum formula on the excel table and got this exact number.

"So many people?" Xie Tian blurted out in surprise: "More than 1,600 people, almost 2,000 people!"

"And there are many survivors' satellite phones that cannot be called in for the time being." The man said excitedly: "It has only been less than four hours since the airdrop. Some of the rescue packages should not have been obtained by the survivors. I think the number of survivors must be more than these, and there may even be many!"

Xie Tian was also very excited. In Hefei, there will be at least two or three thousand survivors. In this case, so many cities across the country have not been bombed. I am afraid that if you collect them, you can find hundreds of thousands or even more survivors! After all, just like Chongzuo before, more than 200,000 people were found in one breath!

However, due to the limited number of satellite phones, many people cannot collect information from themselves. Xie Tian personally contacted one of the survivors and instructed: "Please use the walkie-talkie to help me convey a message. Please use the walkie-talkie to open it. Search for nearby survivors who can make calls with you. The call range of the walkie-talkie may not be far. However, if each of you radiates for a few kilometers, it can completely cover the entire Hefei City. I hope you can contact those survivors who do not have satellite phones, record their situation and feedback it to us, so that it will also facilitate us to rescue."

Xie Tian's request was naturally not rejected, and the other party agreed immediately. Then, a radio transmission of love spread in Hefei. In some places, there may be only one satellite phone in a radius of several kilometers, but there are many walkie-talkilometers. One walkie-talkilometer covers three kilometers, and the other walkie-talkilometer covers the same distance, so the information from six kilometers away can be transmitted to the person with the satellite phone, so suddenly, more news from survivors were obtained.

In the afternoon, the contact with the survivors in Hefei was still ongoing. What made Xie Tian happy was that the number of survivors had reached more than 5,300, and this number was still increasing, which made everyone in Shanghai extremely excited.

"Brother Xie." A Luo, who was beside him, asked, "How can we save them? Can they find a way to gather at the airport?"

"Impossible." Xie Tian waved his hand and said, "If I were asked to the airport, I would be worried that it would be good if I could survive half of it. There are too many zombies in Hefei, and they can't move at all."

"What should I do?" Xie Xiaofei, who was standing beside him, hurriedly said: "Otherwise, we will send someone to rescue them. We will send soldiers to land from the airport and then enter the city."

"The effect is not good." Xie Tian shook his head and said, "I think it is safest and most efficient to use helicopters. Notify all survivors to wait on the roof of their respective hiding buildings, and we send helicopters to pick them up one by one."

"It is several hundred kilometers away from Hefei. It may take longer to go back and forth." The person in charge of Pudong Airport said: "The helicopter does not have such a long distance."

"It doesn't matter." Xie Tian blurted out: "You can check immediately where is the nearest place to Hefei on the south bank of the Yangtze River and how far it is, and then send all our helicopters over and send some trucks over."

Xie Xiaofei said excitedly: "Brother Xie, I understand what you mean. You are looking for a place closest to Hefei on the south bank of the Yangtze River as the take-off and landing point for helicopters. As long as you use a helicopter to take them from Hefei to the south of the Yangtze River, we can bring them back with a car."

Xie Tian snapped his fingers and said, "Smart, that's what it means."

The person in charge of the airport suddenly realized and blurted out: "Then I'll do it immediately."

"Don't be anxious." Xie Tian called him and instructed: "Please choose the location first, and then you can ask someone to prepare a large amount of aviation fuel, transport it in tankers, and let the helicopters gather. Today, there is absolutely no time to start rescue. However, we can use the night to prepare tonight, and also give Hefei survivors time to prepare, so that they can find the commanding heights before dawn to wait, and we will take them to the south bank of the Yangtze River one by one."

"Then you need to make some modifications to the helicopter, at least some ropes." The airport manager said.

Xie Tian nodded, and then Xie Xiaofei took a national map, spread it on the table, and said, "Brother Xie, come and take a look."

Xie Tian walked forward, took a rough look at the location of Hefei and the Yangtze River, and then selected a corner of the Yangtze River in Tongling, and said, "Just here, calculate the approximately straight-line distance from Hefei City."

The person in charge quickly brought a ruler, measured the distance on the map, and after calculating the scale, he said: "It's between 100-120 kilometers."

"That's good." Xie Tian nodded and said, "Just set the point here and prepare the helicopter as soon as possible. The fuel truck arrives first and prepare sufficient fuel. This time, I must save everyone!"

"Okay." The person in charge hurriedly began to contact Zhangshu Army Airport. The total number of helicopters in Shanghai and Zhangshu was less than twenty. There were two helicopters in Chongzuo, but the distance was too far, so it was not worth rushing. Therefore, except for the two helicopters in Chongzuo, all helicopters have received orders to immediately install rescue rope ladders and safety ropes, and conduct a thorough pre-take-off inspection to ensure the operation of the aircraft.
