"Alright, boat fleet, head north to Lamakan Street, full speed ahead!"
"Full speed ahead!!"
In an instant, more than three hundred rubber boats roared to life, churning up waves as they sped towards the north side of the town.
About eight minutes later, they encountered another group of refugees on foot.
Board, turn around, transfer, then return.
Gu Ji completed the whole process twice, and by the third round, the return trip to pick up people took only about five minutes.
"Quick! Everyone expedite! Board the boats immediately!"
"Everyone, pick up the life jackets and life buoys on the ground. Make sure to wear them to ensure your safety!"
"Faster! Don't waste time!"
...
The rescuers urged the crowd to board the rubber boats frantically. Above them, the buzzing sound of helicopter rotors echoed, as military transport helicopters risked a crash in the storm, hovering in the skies and dropping bundles of rescue supplies, mostly containing waterborne self-rescue gear.
