Chapter 561 557. The End of the Rescue
It was until after nine o'clock in the evening.

Xu Jinkui finally arrived with a large army.

At this time, Luo Yihang had already changed dry clothes for the four geological surveyors, given them some hot chocolate, and also gave the injured one a simple bandage.

Then we stuffed everything into sleeping bags and squeezed into a small tent.

Huddle and warm.

After Xu Jinkui and others arrived, Luo Yihang also found out who was the person who had instructed him on the operation over the phone.

A doctor from the rescue medical team.

As soon as he arrived at the scene, he went into the tent and checked on the four people.

After checking it carefully.

He let out a long sigh and smiled for the first time today: "There is no danger to life for now."

huh~~
Everyone then dared to take a deep breath.

"Then why haven't they woken up yet?" Xu Jinkui asked hurriedly.

"He has entered a state of moderate hypothermia. Coma is the body's self-protection mechanism. It's okay." After saying that, the doctor came out of the tent and shouted, "Stretcher, carry the person on board, and send him to the hospital as soon as possible."

There are a lot of people coming back this time, dozens of them.

Eight people came out immediately, carrying four stretchers. They put the people and their sleeping bags on the stretchers and returned the same way.

Others were putting out fires or dismantling tents.

The doctor thanked Luo Yihang and said that thanks to the proper response, all four people were out of danger of life. If it had been a little later, it would have been hard to say.

Luo Yihang was polite and said that the doctor was experienced and his methods were quick and efficient. I was just following the steps.

They kept praising each other for a long time.

Xu Jinkui was getting impatient and interrupted the two people's business talk to ask the question he had been wanting to ask: "Xiao Luo, how did you find out that someone was here? What does the owl you mentioned mean? Did I hear it correctly? Is it a code or a colloquialism?"

This is a lot of questions.

Luo Yihang smiled and said, "You heard it right, it's an owl, the flying bird. It guided me here."

After hearing this, Xu Jinkui became even more confused.

"Let's talk while walking. Maybe we can see the great hero on the way back." Luo Yihang called Xu Jinkui to follow the main force.

At this time, the rescue team had already packed up, and the stretcher carrying the four geologists had already left under the escort of a group of people.

Luo Yihang and his group are the second group.

It was much more relaxing on the way back, as dozens of high-intensity flashlights illuminated the forest as bright as day.

Just a good story to tell.

"I said I would go back to the base camp to get some gasoline before dark. On the way, I saw an owl flying overhead. It was already late at night, so it was normal to see an owl. I looked closely and saw that it had a camouflage cap on its claws."

"None of our people wore camouflage hats, but those four did."

"I turned the steering wheel and chased after it, all the way to this woods. The owl got so angry that it dropped its hat and ran back to its nest to hide."

"I'll take you to see its nest when we get back."

Hearing this, Xu Jinkui suddenly realized, "That's how you got the hat. No wonder you said it was given to you by an owl."

Then he felt something was wrong, "The owl must be flying quite far away, how can you be sure it's nearby?"

"I didn't know at the time either." Luo Yihang replied, "But I asked. I knew an expert who studies birds at the Institute of Environment of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, so I called him. After listening to my description, he told me that this owl is called a long-eared owl. It has a sense of territory and will only hunt within three kilometers of its nest when there is enough food. There is a lot of food in this forest, and I saw a lot of mice." "In addition, the expert also told me that this long-eared owl is very curious and wants to catch anything new it sees."

"From this I inferred that it must have seen the geological team. It would not grab a hat alone, but a person, and the person was not moving, otherwise it would have waved away."

"Ninety-nine percent of the geologists were unconscious. It tried to catch them as prey, but it failed to catch them, so it grabbed their hats."

"So I didn't listen to you. I told you the coordinates, left the directions and went straight to find it."

It would have been fine if he hadn't mentioned this, but after he did, Xu Jinkui got angry, "Three kilometers is a long way in the wild forest. It's too dangerous. You're going to look for it alone. What if you run into danger?"

Luo Yihang spread his hands and said, "I'm not stupid. I just plan to look for a short distance, at most one kilometer, and no further. Fortunately, I'm lucky."

"Mr. Luo, how do you know which direction to go?" asked a member of the search and rescue team who had been listening to the story nearby.

"I asked the owl." Luo Yihang gave an answer that no one expected.

"Ask the owl? How do you ask?" Everyone's ears pricked up.

"I have a cat." Luo Yihang said mysteriously, "I carry cat snacks with me, small dried shrimps, which I make myself, and they are very fragrant. Even the owl can't resist it. I throw two dried shrimps to it and it will come down. This owl is very smart. I bribe it with a bag of dried shrimps, wave my hat at it a few times, and give it a dried shrimp. After repeating this several times, it will fly up and tell me which direction the hat is in..."

It was so magical that everyone was stunned by the shock.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Luo Yihang told everyone present, "If there are reporters interviewing, don't mention this."

"Why?" Even Xu Jinkui didn't realize there was anything he couldn't say.

“Because it’s so new, once you mention it, the media reporters will definitely only report on the owl, and the contributions of the entire rescue team of one or two thousand people will be completely ignored.” Luo Yihang knows the media too well, including his own Hanyun integrated media.

Whenever the owl is mentioned, people will only say that the owl attracts traffic.

"Besides, this forest is likely to be destroyed, and the owl might even be caught. Don't test human nature."

Once you say this, everyone will understand.

Xu Jinkui also emphasized again, "When we go out, we should hold summary meetings and receive commendations. If there are any interviews, we should follow the organization's notice. When you forest police patrol the mountains, put a few bags of bird food in the woods."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

When they reached the outskirts of the forest and passed by the long-eared owl's nest, Luo Yihang pointed it out to Xu Jinkui and the others.

Unfortunately, the long-eared owl was not in its nest. I don’t know where it went.

There were leftover shrimp shells scattered on the ground.

Outside the woods, the field ambulance was already waiting.

The four geologists were carried out and put directly into a car and sent to the county hospital.

The doctor from the city hospital is on the way.

The rest of the people relaxed and went back to the camp to sleep.

Except Xu Jinkui.

He also had to arrange food, accommodation and shelter for the rescue teams returning from various locations, report the situation to all parties, and arrange for the evacuation of the forward base tomorrow.

It's a saturation rescue. When they came, they were sending supplies here frantically, fearing that they wouldn't be enough.

Now that the operation is over, it is another hassle to transport it back.

But Luo Yihang didn't care. He said goodbye to Xu Jinkui and the others at the intersection and returned to the base camp in the dark to find a place to sleep.

The conditions in the base camp are much more comfortable than those in the forward base.
