7月初，广西横州市镇龙乡遭受持续极端降雨引发的洪水和泥石流灾害，导致多个村庄电力、道路、通信全线中断[1]。在道路尚未打通的情况下，上百名重装徒步志愿者组织起来应对这场危机[1]。志愿者队伍由南宁市户外运动协会秘书长赵忠军任队伍领队，分成多支小队，每位志愿者背负35至45斤物资，穿越被毁坏的山路进入五善村、合源村等受灾村庄[1]。7月10日下午六点半，第一批5人队伍抵达五善村[1]。
徒步救援之路异常艰苦[1]。志愿者进村最长耗时11小时，往返约30公里，其中实际可称为路的不超过1公里，其余大多是泥泞烂路[1]。加之体感温度约40摄氏度的高温侵袭，志愿者们在极端恶劣条件下坚持前行[1]。镇龙乡共11个行政村、83个自然屯受灾，其中那生村的情况尤为严峻——约70人中有60多人是60岁以上老人，仅有3位中壮年[1]。志愿者们成功为这些被困村民送去食物和药品[1]。与此同时，陆军第74集团军某旅也出动两架直升机进行空投救援[1]。
7月11日下午三点，通往镇龙乡的道路打通[1]。7月15日上午，11个行政村的道路全部恢复通行[1]。
In early July, Zhenlong Township in Hengzhou City, Guangxi, suffered devastating floods and mudslides triggered by prolonged extreme rainfall, severing electricity, roads, and communications across multiple villages [1]. Before road repairs could be completed, over one hundred volunteers organized themselves into multiple teams to carry 35 to 45 kilograms of supplies each, trekking through damaged mountain paths to reach affected settlements including Wushan Village and Heyuan Village [1]. The Nanning Outdoor Sports Association, led by secretary Zhao Zhongjun, coordinated these relief efforts, with the first team of five volunteers reaching Wushan Village at 6:30 PM on July 10 [1].
The volunteers faced extreme conditions during their journey, with some routes taking up to 11 hours to traverse covering roughly 30 kilometers, of which less than one kilometer constituted an actual passable road [1]. The heat index reached approximately 40 degrees Celsius as teams pushed through muddy, deteriorating terrain [1]. In one isolated settlement, Na Sheng Village, approximately 70 residents included over 60 elderly individuals aged 60 and above, with only three middle-aged adults capable of providing support [1]. These challenges underscored the critical nature of the volunteer mission to deliver food and medicine to stranded villagers [1].
Relief operations continued until infrastructure recovery progressed. The road to Zhenlong Township was reopened by 3 PM on July 11, with all roads serving the eleven administrative villages fully restored by the morning of July 15 [1]. The People's Liberation Army's 74th Group Army also deployed two helicopters to conduct aerial supply drops during the emergency response [1].
