Chapter 1212

The once-in-a-century typhoon, the once-in-a-century torrential rain, and the violent storm hit many cities in S Province, including the provincial capital Huanghai overnight. In some places, flash floods broke out, river banks burst, and the water level of the reservoir continued to rise above the warning level.

In particular, Huanghai City, the main landing area of ​​the typhoon, was severely affected. The river and sea were backwashed, and the rainstorm was pouring. Compared with flying all over the sky, water and electricity cuts have become trivial matters.

In the early hours of last night, the emergency rescue mechanism of Province S was activated. Chief Commander and Governor Wang Qingfeng led an expert team to sit at the headquarters. Deputy Governor Wu Fengjiao, one of the Deputy Chief Commanders, went deep into the Huanghai City Emergency Rescue Headquarters to sit at the headquarters according to the division of responsibilities. The commander-in-chief of emergency rescue and disaster relief is Shu Qin, the mayor of Huanghai City.

When the storm was approaching, the two women shouldered the heavy responsibility of guarding the property and life safety of the people in Huanghai City.The two people have been squatting in the command post since last night. According to the news from the scene, after research and analysis, they issued orders one by one.

However, in the face of the roar of nature, human strength is simply vulnerable, and they don't know where the front line has reached.Heavy rain, non-stop underground; thunder, exploding between heaven and earth; lightning, like a long sword piercing the night sky...

"The sky leaked, and all that fell was rain, the sky was dark, and it made people feel creepy." This was Wu Fengjiao's description of her psychology at that time.

At ten o'clock in the morning, the huge news of excessive rainfall, excessive flow, excessive range, and excessive water level was arranged on the board in front of the two people by groups of numbers. The rainfall in the city reached 10 millimeters in 208 hours; the reservoir was full and overflowed, The maximum flood peak reached 1800 cubic meters per second; seawater poured back along the inland river, and the river carried seawater into the largest flood storage and detention area in the north of the urban area; 334 houses have been found to have collapsed in the urban area, and 37 people were killed according to preliminary statistics. The whereabouts of several people are unknown; the soldiers of a certain company and a company stationed on the sea blocking dam collectively disappeared...

Listening to the reported numbers, Wu Fengjiao sat weakly on the chair.As the deputy commander-in-chief of the Provincial Emergency Rescue and Disaster Relief Headquarters, she has not closed her eyes all night.However, natural disasters are ruthless, behind her, Shu Qin's lips are also a little livid.Although she had made a full estimate beforehand, she never thought that the damage caused by the typhoon would be so astonishing.

Perhaps, if I had known this was the result, I shouldn't have competed with the secretary of the municipal party committee, Chen Weizhong, for the commander-in-chief when I was in the Standing Committee.The collapsed houses and destroyed assets are okay, but so many people died and so many people disappeared, who will bear the responsibility when the time comes?

Thinking of this, she looked at Wu Fengjiao who was sitting beside her.Although this woman is the deputy governor, she knows how to do things better than she does. Throughout the night, no matter what happens, she just participates in the planning and makes suggestions, but the final decision-making power is always in place. own hands.

The deputy commander-in-chief of the province's disaster relief, but she did not overstep her role, and placed herself in her position very well.

"Governor Wu, what should we do next?" It's useless to think about anything. Now we can only think of ways to reduce the disaster to the lowest level through human factors.

"You stay here to command and order our comrades to overcome difficulties, not be afraid of danger, unite as one, work together, and do our best to search and rescue the victims. I will take a few people out to have a look, and then go to the power company. The most important thing now The first thing is to ensure that the power grid is restored and the power supply will be supplied as soon as possible. Without electricity, there will be no supply of drinking water..." Wu Fengjiao stood up as she spoke.

"No, you stay here, I'll go..." Are you kidding me, I'm sitting in the headquarters at this time, you go out?In case something happens, I can't explain it clearly.

While the two were arguing, Yue Haibing, the deputy commander in chief of the Huanghai Disaster Relief Headquarters and the deputy mayor in charge of communications, stepped in: "Governor Wu, Mayor Shu, please take a look at this fax. Let's not be so unlucky, I can't believe whether this thing is true or not..."

"What's the matter, Lao Yue, I see that your complexion has changed..." Shu Qin reached out to take the piece of paper in his hand while speaking, glanced at it, and her complexion also changed involuntarily: "What's going on? Is it true? What is he doing here in Huang Hai when he has nothing to do? Isn't this just causing us trouble?"

"What's going on?" Seeing that Shu Qin's face had changed, Wu Fengjiao knew that it must not be a good thing.Shu Qin handed the page of paper to Wu Fengjiao's hand, shook her head, and sighed, "You'll know when you look at it..."

Wu Fengjiao took the page and only glanced at it, her face also turned pale.It read: "S Provincial Party Committee, Provincial Government, and troops stationed in the Yellow Sea: Comrade Zhao Jianhui, member of the Central Political and Legal Committee, deputy director of the Comprehensive Management Committee, and deputy director of the Stability Maintenance Office, disappeared in the early hours of last night during his business trip in Province S. In Huahui Shopping Center In a Mercedes-Benz that was submerged in the flood in front of the door, a mobile phone was found that the comrade was carrying with him. After receiving the power, he quickly organized a search and rescue centered on Huahui Shopping Mall in Huanghai City. There is no need..."

Oh my god, Zhao Jianhui was in the Yellow Sea last night and disappeared since the early morning rain?Then who found his mobile phone in the Mercedes-Benz?He didn't come to the Yellow Sea alone, did he, and the people who accompanied him were dead?

It seems that this fax was sent directly to the party committee and government of province S, and the local garrison may have received it by now. The telegram sent by Yue Haibing was directly forwarded by the provincial party committee and government, because Huahui Shopping Center Two streets away from the headquarters, close to the north bank of the Gushui River, is the worst-hit block in the urban area this time. This is to ask Huanghai City to organize personnel to search and rescue according to the above requirements.

"Mayor Shu, immediately organize personnel to start a search and rescue centered on Huahui Shopping Mall. No matter what, we must find Director Zhao..." Wu Fengjiao said while waving to her secretary behind her: "Xiao Liu, Let's go first..."

When Wu Fengjiao arrived near the Huahui shopping mall in a kayak, she saw that there were already several kayaks at the entrance of the shopping mall just above the water surface, and a dozen people in life jackets were searching for rescue on the water. .On the kayak, Zhou Wanyi held Zhao Jianhui's mobile phone in her hand, her eyes were already blurred by tears.

The kayak approached the mall, and a man on the window on the second floor stretched out an arm, poked his head out and introduced the situation with his fingers: "It was past two o'clock last night, and there was no power outage at that time. I saw with my own eyes that Near the iron tower in front, a middle-aged man collapsed with a car and a person, and was lifted up by the water waves, and disappeared in a blink of an eye. I saw a car being washed down by the water from the front corner, and then the power went out. I couldn’t see the situation outside, but I seemed to hear someone shouting vaguely. The wind and rain were too loud, and I also heard I don’t know, and I dare not go out to see it, so I don’t know the specific situation…”

Hearing what he said, one could clearly hear the degree of danger last night. If the car was rushed into the Gushui River, there would be no hope for the people on it to escape.Zhou Wanyi's hand holding the phone trembled uncontrollably, and suddenly she couldn't restrain herself and burst into tears.

As the two kayaks approached, Wu Fengjiao looked at Zhou Wanyi who was crying loudly, and wondered if she followed Zhao Jianhui to the Yellow Sea?Seeing her crying so sadly, what is the relationship between this girl and Zhao Jianhui?She didn't know Zhou Wanyi, but he saw Director Feng of the Provincial State Security Bureau at a glance.He hurriedly said hello: "Director Feng, why are you here?"

Director Feng wondered why I came here, our Minister Zhao couldn't find him, and the boss's daughter was standing beside him crying, can I do it if I don't come?But Zhao Jianhui's status is special, he didn't know what to say for a while, so he could only say with a wry smile: "Governor Wu, didn't you receive the order from your superiors? We...we came here for that matter."

Wu Fengjiao nodded and asked, "How is it? Did you gain anything?" In fact, seeing the crying woman on the other side, Wu Fengjiao was basically sure that her question was for nothing.

Sure enough, Director Feng shook his head and said, "There's nothing to gain. I'm organizing people to salvage underwater. But the rain is really heavy, and the underwater situation is more complicated. There is no way..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw Zhou Wanyi's body swaying twice, tilted her body, and fell headfirst.Fortunately, Director Feng was very skillful, and in an emergency, he grabbed Zhou Wanyi's waist and put her in the kayak. Then she saw that her face had lost a trace of blood, and she had passed out.

"Quickly...send him to the hospital..." Director Feng waved to Wu Fengjiao: "Governor Wu, please greet me here first, I want to send the person to the hospital first..."

Wu Fengjiao stared blankly at the rubber boat going away against the wind and waves, and couldn't help shaking her head. It seemed that Zhao Jianhui was really in danger this time.Now there are trees and steel cars in this river.The broken furniture and so on are all rolled into a pot of porridge, how to arrange people to salvage them?Isn't this a joke with other people's lives?

Yue Haibing rushed over with more than a dozen kayaks, and shouted loudly when he was still more than ten meters away: "Governor Wu, this is already all the boat personnel I can mobilize so far. How do you arrange it?"

Wu Fengjiao nodded, and said loudly: "Start the search within a radius of two kilometers around Huahui Shopping Mall, and come back in an hour to summarize, then we will discuss according to the situation... Remember, you must ensure your own safety..."
