Chapter 234 233. The final life and death test
The search and rescue operation lasted overnight.

Lin Xiao followed the search and rescue team and walked on the dike for a whole night. By the end, he had lost all feeling in his legs.

It's hard for people who haven't experienced it to understand that feeling.

It was the height of summer in August, but I was shivering with cold. It was a morning filled with heavy rain for days, and my body wrapped in a raincoat had already been soaked by rain and sweat, and I was completely immersed in icy water.

But people don't feel it.

If a night of search and rescue was fruitless, it meant that the possibility of survival was getting lower and lower. They were either washed downstream by the turbulent river, or entangled by wood or aquatic plants and sank to the bottom of the water.

In short, no matter which one it is, the chances of survival are extremely slim.

Although the current water level is high, it is only in the early stage of the flood. If people who can really swim struggle hard after falling into the water, it is still very likely to get ashore.

However, Chaobai Town has a special geographical location.

The town is located at the very end of the Chaoshui River, and the river water flows into the Nanjiang River, the mother river of Nanzhou Province, from the east.

Because of this geographical feature, the river surface at the end of Chaoshui River is much wider than that in the upper reaches, with the widest point reaching more than 200 meters. In addition, the water flows rapidly and the waves are surging, so it is also called "Chaobai River" here.

The name of Chaobai Town also comes from this.

The Chaobai River has fast currents all year round; even in autumn and winter when the water level is lowest, an adult can easily be submerged in the center of the river.

Before the dike was built, two or three drowning incidents occurred in this section of water every year.

Even now, this river is a key safety protection area in Chaobai Town. Special personnel are sent to conduct regular inspections during the winter and summer vacations every year, and children are strictly prohibited from playing in the water to prevent danger.

This is the case on normal days, let alone now when the flood comes.

In addition, Qin Zhenggang had already used up most of his physical strength in order to save that idiot Qiao Xuyang. The possibility of him struggling to survive under the raging flood was extremely slim.

Six o'clock in the morning.

The rain eased a bit and the sky was lit up with morning light.

Lin Xiao could not feel the numbness in his legs. Looking at the surging flood, even though he understood all the possibilities in his mind, he still did not dare to give up any hope.

What if?
There are so many drooping tree trunks and dense bushes along both sides of the river. If Qin Zhenggang was washed there and he grabbed on to them to avoid being swept away by the flood, wouldn't he be able to save his life?
Lin Xiao felt that this possibility was still very high.

But if this is true, it cannot explain why dozens of people shouted along the banks of the river all night but received no response...

The more Lin Xiao thought about it, the more he dared not to think about it.

I thought that since I had lived two lives, I could face many things calmly, including death.

But only now do I realize that the sudden disappearance of a life that I had lived with day and night has brought such a huge shock.

He couldn't accept it.

Even though his strength was at its limit, his legs had no feeling, and his eyelids were so sleepy that it felt like a truck was pulling them down, he still forced himself to cheer up and continued running and shouting along the dike.

At this time, Lin Xiao had already reached the lower reaches of the Chaobai River.

Go forward through a dense forest and you will reach the provincial capital of Ninghai.

At this point, the waters of Chaobai River are already very wide, as it is about to merge into Nanjiang River.

If Qin Zhenggang was rushed here, there would be no chance of survival.

Lin Xiao used his remaining sanity after being extremely tired to analyze that there was no need to go forward, so he turned around and continued searching along the dike.

After walking a few steps, I saw a familiar face from afar - my high school classmate and current county magistrate's secretary, Jia Kai.

Jia Kai held a loudspeaker and shouted along the dike: "According to the instructions of County Magistrate Liu, all cadres should return to the town to rest now. The county has mobilized the most professional search and rescue team in the county, and will do its utmost to carry out the search and rescue! According to the instructions of County Magistrate Liu..."

When Lin Xiao heard the voice from the loudspeaker, he was stunned for a moment before he realized what this instruction meant.

The county magistrate must be afraid that with so many cadres staying up all night in the heavy rain, if they continue to hold on, they might not only fail to find the missing Mayor Qin, but also lose a few more people.

The county magistrate cannot afford this responsibility, so he issued this directive.

Late last night.

After the news of Qin Zhenggang falling into the water spread within Chaobai Town, all the cadres who had stayed in the town or were on standby in the village, and even many nearby villagers, all rushed to the dike in the rain overnight.

There were no instructions, no one called to take the lead.

But everyone just came.

Hundreds of people wandered along the dike that stretched for nearly ten kilometers, competing with the flood in endurance and with the rainstorm in voices, making the long dike in the middle of the night as bright as day.

Now, county leaders have ordered an evacuation.

No one reacted. Even though their throats were hoarse, their voices were hoarse, and they were cold and tired all over, they didn't know where they got the strength from, and continued to run and shout, with the shouts rising one after another.

These people did not leave.

Instead, as the sky gradually brightened, more and more villagers came to the dike carrying hoes, shovels and shoulder poles.

They didn't know how they could help or what they could do.

But the wisdom engraved in the farmers' genes tells them that whenever there is a disaster, hoes, shovels and shoulder poles will always come in handy.

There were more and more people on the dike, almost forming a line.

Upon seeing this, the county magistrate's secretary Jia Kai panicked and quickly called the county magistrate Liu Wang who had already returned to the county compound.

"County magistrate, they won't leave!!" Jia Kai said anxiously.

"Nonsense! Is there any organization or discipline?!"

Liu Wang also stayed up almost all night. He slammed the table and shouted, "Rescue is a very professional and serious matter. These people have been searching all night and their physical strength has reached the limit. What's the point of wasting time there!"

"..."

There was silence for a moment.

Liu Wang was about to give more orders when he heard a series of voices coming from the other end of the phone.

"What's that noise over there?" he asked.

"Yes... the cadres and villagers spontaneously organized a search and rescue team, and they are calling Qin Zhenggang's name!"

As Jia Kai spoke, he held up his phone so that the county magistrate could hear more clearly.

Amid the rustling sound of rain, shouts came one after another through the signal.

"Qin Zhenggang..."

“Qin Zhen!!”

"Old Qin..."

The voices were loud, some weak, some hoarse, some tired, and countless voices came together to form a terrifying symphony.

Liu Wang's heart trembled when he heard this, and his overwhelming anger instantly disappeared.

"How many people are there on the dike now?" he asked.

"...at least three or four hundred. There's no end in sight!"

"..."

Liu Wang was completely shocked.

When he lowered his head, he saw the resolution on disciplinary action against Qin Zhenggang reported by the Discipline Inspection Commission a few days ago. The neat red letterhead and the huge official seal hurt his eyes.

"County Magistrate, County Magistrate?"

"Ah."

"What should we do now? Should we send more people to drive away the cadres and the masses? What if something unexpected happens again..."

"Need not!"

Liu Wang paused, crumpled the red-headed document in his hand, turned around and threw it into the shredder, "Let them go. Tell the on-site rescue and medical teams to do a good job of support!"

On the other end, Jia Kai paused.

Then his tone became solemn: “Yes!”

hang up the phone.

Jia Kai turned off the speaker and looked up just in time to see Lin Xiao.

The two men walked towards each other but said nothing, and continued to shout at the raging flood under the dike.

Walked a while.

Suddenly, I heard a villager in front shouting, "Here, here, here... Is there someone here?"

The shouting immediately attracted the attention of several people around.

When Lin Xiao and Jia Kai heard the shouting, they immediately ran over, pushed through the crowd, and followed the line of sight to the lush forest between the dike and the flood.

The forest was flooded to the bottom, so there was no way to go down and search, and the sight was simply unable to penetrate the thick, tangled mass of young branches and leaves that had grown wildly in the summer.

If it weren't for the daybreak now, we would never have discovered it.

There is actually someone here!

This surprising discovery made Lin Xiao's heart immediately rise to his throat, and his originally tired and sleepy body seemed to be injected with several shots of adrenaline in an instant.

When he rushed over.

Several villagers had already pulled each other, waded out to the surface of the water, and pushed aside the layers of leaves to get closer to the black shadow.

"It's Mayor Qin!! I recognize him!"

The villagers who had gone into the water had half of their bodies submerged in the water and were shouting excitedly.

At this time, Lin Xiao also saw Qin Zhenggang through the aside leaves. Most of his body was soaking in the water, his arms were holding a branch that was across the water, his head was tilted, his lips were pale, and he had no consciousness.

His heart was clenched tightly.

With the help of the villagers, Qin Zhenggang was quickly dragged from the water to the shore, and the big umbrella and rain cloth they brought were opened on the spot, providing him with a place to shelter from the wind and rain.

Jia Kai called the rescue team nearby.

Lin Xiao knelt on the ground and reached out to feel Qin Zhenggang's breath.

No!

To feel his body temperature.

icy!

It was not until I put my hand on his heart and carefully examined it for a long time amid the rustling sound of the rain that I finally felt a faint beating.

“There’s still a heartbeat!!!”

He shouted out in surprise, feeling relieved.

The villagers who were holding their breath nearby all breathed a sigh of relief when they heard the news, and they did not stop even though they were standing in the rain and getting soaked.

Without waiting for everyone to discuss.

Lin Xiao had grasped the five fingers of his left hand with his right hand, pressed them on Qin Zhenggang's chest, and began to press frequently.

Once, twice, three times...

Thirty times, five artificial respirations.

Keep pressing!

Once, twice, three times...

The rain was pouring down, falling continuously as if a string had been cut off from the sky, making a tinkling sound in the rushing river.

The crowd around was quiet. Villagers from afar kept rushing over after hearing the sound. They gathered outside and suppressed their curiosity and impulse, holding their breath.

A group of people piled up like a human pyramid, but they remained quiet and silent.

It seemed like some mysterious and grand ceremony was taking place.

Lin Xiao kept pressing, and the crowd became more and more anxious, but Qin Zhenggang still did not react.

The roar of the raindrops and the river water became louder and louder, as if the sky and the earth were about to split apart at the same time.

I do not know how long it has been.

The rescue team rushed over and took over Lin Xiao's chest compressions.

At this moment, Qin Zhenggang, who had been motionless, finally reacted. He closed his eyes and spat out a large mouthful of turbid sewage, then fell down motionless.

This time, everyone was shocked.

"Spitting water! Spit water!!"

"I'm alive, this is it!!"

“It’s definitely going to be okay now!!!”

"Then why hasn't he woken up yet?"

"..."

The crowd was buzzing.

Lin Xiaoze seemed to be completely exhausted. He slumped to the ground and watched the rescue team lift Qin Zhenggang onto a stretcher and run towards the ambulance.

Before leaving.

The doctor who took over the cardiopulmonary resuscitation looked at Lin Xiao, patted him on the shoulder, and couldn't stop the surprise and admiration in his eyes.

As a professional, he knew how professional and timely Lin Xiao's approach was.

If it weren’t for those few blows just now... even if Qin Zhenggang was taken back to the hospital, his life would have been almost certain to be lost.

The doctor was shocked.

It is said that in this day and age, many people have learned first aid knowledge, but they are generally in big cities.

But this is a countryside that is as pure as it can be, and it is also the scene of a flood.

The first person who discovered Qin Zhenggang actually knew how to provide first aid.

This made the doctor sigh - it seemed that Qin Zhen was not destined to die!

But on second thought, the fact that the mayor who fell into the water was able to motivate hundreds of villagers to spontaneously participate in the rescue in a short period of time is simply a miracle, especially today when the relationship between the government and the people is so tense.

The doctor did not know Qin Zhenggang, but after seeing the long dike filled with people and shouting, he made a rather arbitrary judgment:

This mayor might really be not bad!
Such cadres really don’t deserve to die!

……

Nine o'clock in the morning, at the gate of No. 1 Middle School in Anyang County.

The sky gradually brightened, but the heavy rain continued.

During the evening self-study yesterday, the school announced the holiday, but because of the heavy rain and it was night, in order to ensure the safety of the senior students, the actual time to leave school was scheduled for today.

Although it is a holiday, not all students will leave school.

Some students who live in remote towns have to take a bus to the bus station after leaving school, and then take a town bus to go home.

This trip usually takes more than an hour.

With the heavy rain and flood prevention weather nowadays, it would take at least three hours to get there, and this is based on the premise that the bus service is not suspended due to bad weather.

Therefore, many students from remote towns choose to continue living in school.

However, students from the county will leave school early in the morning.

The starting point of bus No. 2 is at the school gate.

This bus service is specially opened for middle school students. It can reach almost all the key areas of the small county town, and even the most remote Linjia Village.

Lin Yu can get home by taking the bus for ten stops and then walking for twenty minutes after getting off.

It’s not convenient, but it’s an option.

Normally, Lin Yu’s parents pick him up and drop him off at school on electric bikes, which is very convenient, so he seldom takes the bus.

But in today's weather, driving an electric bike is simply asking for trouble.

So after Lin Yu told his mother about the holiday last night, he agreed to take the bus back home today.

They can just wait for him at the bus stop depending on the situation.

Zhou Xiuping agreed.

As for the older brother who had a car, Lin Yu didn't count on him at all.

He knew that his brother had been so busy lately that he didn't even have time to spend with his pregnant wife, so naturally he couldn't spare the time to pick him up.

At 9:20, Lin Yu arrived at the school gate.

Under the coordination of the school, bus No. 2 is specially serving students today.

So when Lin Yu just walked out of the school gate, he saw a car waiting with its door open, and there were already quite a few students in the car.

He got on the bus, put in his coin, and saw that there was a seat in the corner of the last row.

At the same time, I saw that Qin Jiapeng was sitting next to me.

Lin Yu was a little embarrassed.

Although he and Qin Jiapeng know each other now and are in the same WeChat group, they are not really familiar with each other and have never even spoken to each other alone.

Lin Yu was introverted, and Qin Jiapeng had some bad rumors about him, but his grades were still so good. Lin Yu had a complex mentality of respecting and fearing him.

If it were before, he would never provoke such a ruthless guy and would stay as far away from him as possible.

But now... they know each other after all.

There was clearly an empty seat next to him, but I didn't go over and sit there. Doesn't this make it seem like I despise him?

Lin Yu was conflicted.

Finally, he gritted his teeth, made up his mind, took big steps, and walked to the back of the car.

Qin Jiapeng was originally watching the rain outside. When he noticed someone approaching, he glanced over.

He was a little surprised to find out that the person was Lin Yu.

Then he showed a polite smile - it was called a smile, but perhaps Qin Baba was not used to showing kindness, so the smile was very out of place, and looked like the kind of threatening sneer that a villain would give.

Lin Yu felt a little uneasy because of the laughter and immediately regretted it.

But their eyes had already made contact.

He could only make the best of it and sit down with gritted teeth.

"Crash..."

The rain was pouring down outside the window, but the car was unusually quiet.

It seemed that everyone in the car didn't know each other, so no one spoke - but think about it, it's not like people can gather in groups during the holiday due to a heavy rainstorm, so it just so happens that no one in this car of students knows each other.

It's nothing.

But the silence in the car made Qin Jiapeng and Lin Yu feel even more awkward.

Qin Jiapeng is playing with his mobile phone.

Lin Yu glanced at it and wanted to play with his phone, but the phone was in his schoolbag.

In his mind, he simulated the entire process of turning the bag over, unzipping it, and then taking the phone out from the pile of dirty clothes...

Then gave up.

"Um...you're taking the bus home too?"

Lin Yu felt that flipping through his phone was embarrassing for one person, while chatting was embarrassing for two people, so chatting was more appropriate.

Qin Jiapeng obviously didn't expect Lin Yu to take the initiative to speak.

Because from their first meeting at the hotpot restaurant to the heated chats in the WeChat group over the past few days, he has already determined that this is a very introverted peer.

Qin Jiapeng felt that chatting with him would be very awkward, so he didn't say anything.

Unexpectedly, Lin Yu took the initiative to speak.

He could only bite the bullet and answer: "Yeah!"

Then I felt that one word was a bit cold, so I added: "Yes!"

Lin Yu nodded: "Oh..."

speechless.

Uh, it seems even more embarrassing.

The sound of rain...

"Hey, why didn't you ask your family to pick you up?" Qin Jiapeng couldn't sit still anymore and asked.

"Oh, we only have an electric car at home, and it's raining too hard, so..."

Lin Yu explained.

Qin Jiapeng nodded and asked, "What about your brother? Doesn't your brother have a car?"

This information was mentioned when Liang Tian's identity was explained at the hot pot restaurant last time.

At that time, everyone was very curious about why Liang Tian, ​​a native of Jingzhou, appeared in Lin Yu's house.

Liang Tian and Lin Yu had no way of revealing Han Xixi's identity as a big star.

So after explaining that their brother and sister were husband and wife, they naturally inferred from Liang Tian's good family background that Lin Yu's brother was very promising and rich, otherwise he would not have been able to marry Liang Tian's cousin who was so beautiful and had a good family background.

In view of this, Qin Jiapeng asked this question.

He actually didn't know that Lin Yu's brother was the deputy mayor of Chaobai Town and worked under his father.

Lin Yu didn't hide it on purpose, but it's hard to explain now.

So he said: "Oh, he is busy..."

Qin Jiapeng nodded. In fact, he didn’t care about the answer, he just asked for the sake of asking.

"What about you?" Lin Yu felt that he should reciprocate.

"Me? What?"

"Why didn't your family come to pick you up?"

"cut!"

Qin Jiapeng suddenly sneered disdainfully.

Although this emotion was negative, it instantly broke through the awkward conversation between the two and showed a bit of true feelings.

Lin Yu looked forward to his answer.

"My old man is a very busy man. Should we rely on him?!" Qin Jiapeng was very embarrassed.

This attitude made Lin Yu very strange.

Even if dad is busy with work, he wouldn't be so disgusted.

"So you told your dad about the holiday, right?"

"..."

Qin Jiapeng was a little embarrassed. Obviously the answer was inconsistent with his previous coldness.

Finally he nodded.

“…I said it!”

"He said he didn't have time to pick you up?"

"Humph, he didn't even reply to me. He's a busy man, so I understand!"

"..."

Lin Yu didn't know what to say.

He didn't quite understand his classmate's resentment towards his father. He never bothered to think about things he didn't understand. This habit only changed slightly recently when he started studying seriously.

The two of them were awkward again.

At this time, Lin Yu's phone rang. It was his brother Lin Xiao calling.

Lin Xiao said that he was just going home and passed by the school. Knowing that he was on vacation, he asked if he could give him a ride back home.

Lin Yu looked out the window and saw his brother's car parked there.

He said yes with a sigh of relief, got out of the car quickly, and left this awkward place that gave him goosebumps.

"Who are you greeting? Your classmate? Do you want to go together?" Lin Xiao asked when he saw his brother looking back at the bus.

"Not from the same class... Oh, it's Qin Jiapeng you asked me about last time!"

Lin Yu suddenly remembered and asked.

Lin Xiao had already started the car, but suddenly he braked and knocked Lin Yu, causing him to stagger.

He looked up again and found that there was suddenly a surge of panic on his brother's tired face and bloodshot eyes.

This emotion frightened Lin Yu and he dared not speak.

Lin Xiao was silent for a long time, and finally said: "Go and ask him to come down... I just have something to tell him!"

Lin Yu: "???"

His brother's words left him with a lot of questions, and he didn't know where to start.

In the end, he didn't ask anything, just said "oh" and got off the bus, then called Qin Jiapeng off the bus.

Qin Jiapeng was also confused.

A few minutes later, he fell into the abyss.

……

Anyang People's Hospital.

When Lin Xiao arrived with the two teenagers, Qin Zhenggang was no longer in danger and was transferred to the ICU, with all kinds of testing equipment covering his body.

Although the person is no longer in danger, he has not yet woken up.

The doctor’s response was that the drowning incident lasted too long and the brain was in a state of oxygen deprivation for a long time, so it was a blessing in disguise that he was able to survive.

As for whether he can wake up or when he will wake up, I don’t know.

Maybe he will wake up today, or maybe he will lie there for the rest of his life and never wake up again!

Even though Lin Xiao expected this answer, he was still shocked and stunned, and found it hard to accept it.

In contrast, the young Qin Jiapeng looked as if nothing had happened. His expression didn't even change as he stood outside the ICU.

Lin Xiao was a little surprised.

Because of Qin Zhenggang's violation of discipline before, he asked Lin Yu about this teenager's situation. He knew that he had good grades but a bad temper. He was the type of person that teachers both loved and hated in school, and he would definitely be a man who would do great things in the future.

But no matter how powerful he is, he is still a 17-year-old boy.

Faced with the tragic news that his father, with whom he depended on each other, was in danger of death, he could remain so calm.

This made Lin Xiao feel unbelievable.

He stared at Qin Jiapeng, trying to find evidence of the boy's forbearance on his face.

But I didn't notice anything.

Just like when I told him in the car on the way here about his father saving someone from drowning, he had a calm expression and didn't say a word.

So calm it's frightening.

Lin Xiao stared for a long time but didn't find any clues, and inexplicably felt a surge of anger in his heart.

He knew how much effort Qin Zhenggang had put into this disobedient son.

He bought a house in Anyang, used his connections to get him into the innovation class, and used his connections to smooth things over for him because he often fought and made trouble... As a father, Qin Zhenggang has been very conscientious.

Even though he is busy with work, he lacks care and companionship for his son.

But Qin Jiapeng is 17 years old after all, and his grades are still so good, he can't be so stupid and unreasonable, right?
Lin Xiao couldn't understand it and felt angry at the moment. It wasn't worth it for Qin Zhen!

But I can't vent.

After enduring for a long time, she could only pat him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, brother. I'll take care of your father. If he doesn't wake up within a week, I'll take him to the best hospital!"

After hearing this, Qin Jiapeng remained expressionless and nodded.

Lin Xiao sighed.

He asked his younger brother to stay here and accompany his classmates, and then left.

Given Qin Zhenggang's current condition, it would be useless even if there were more people accompanying him, so there was no need for Lin Xiao to waste time here.

He has more important things to do.

Half an hour ago, he learned that a flash flood had occurred in Niushan Town and that the flood discharge emergency response had been initiated.

Niushan Town is located in the upper reaches of Chaoshui River.

No matter how much it is divided, a part of it will eventually reach Chaoshui River.

The water level of the Chaoshui River has already reached flood level. Once the flood from upstream is released, the danger level will double.

The good news is that the early rain has shown signs of abating.

This can also be proven by the latest rainfall monitoring forecast released by the Meteorological Bureau.

But it is obviously not a good idea to put your hopes on God.

Although Qin Zhenggang is lying in the ICU, neither the county nor the town can pay too much attention to him under the current circumstances. Instead, all personnel need to devote themselves wholeheartedly to the crucial and decisive battle of this flood prevention campaign.

After the battle, Lin Xiao also has more important things to do.

The reason why Qin Zhenggang is lying here now is not entirely a natural disaster, but a complete man-made disaster.

Qiao Xuyang, that idiot, was incompetent and didn't know how to just stand aside. Instead, he acted on his own and made a fool of himself. He proved with his actions that a bad guy's best ideas are no match for a fool's sudden inspiration.

There was also the fact that Qin Zhenggang was almost punished in the early stage, and he was just being used as a scapegoat.

None of these people can escape.

Lin Xiao didn't want to care about it before because he felt that although these people were annoying, they didn't have any substantial impact on him.

But now, he couldn't sit still.

I used to think flies don’t bite and just annoy people - but now it seems that flies can also eat people!
If he sees good people being sucked dry by these pests and he remains indifferent, then his so-called ideals and values ​​in life are all self-deception.

Lin Xiao is not seeking revenge for Qin Zhenggang.

He just wants to maintain his own inner order!
So, he made up his mind.

Whether it is relying on one's own means, seeking help from the father-in-law's relationship, or using the power of public opinion.

At this moment, he just wanted to kill all those annoying flies with the fastest speed and the most ruthless means!

But before that, he has to fulfill his duties and mission.

The next two days.

All the cadres in the town, including Lin Xiao, stayed on the front line of flood control.

Because Qin Zhenggang was in hospital, the work of Chaobai Town was taken over by Deputy Mayor Tu Hui. Deputy Mayor Qiao Xuyang rarely had any objections to this.

It’s not that he, the deputy commander-in-chief of flood control, is magnanimous.

But ever since Qin Zhenggang was found and sent to the hospital, Qiao Xuyang fell seriously ill after returning and still has a high fever.

It is definitely impossible to rely on him to command flood control.

It’s a good thing he fell down.

As an experienced deputy mayor, Tu Hui was in charge of flood control in his early years and is very familiar with flood fighting and rescue work.

Faced with the raging flood, he was nervous yet calm, and quickly arranged each team to hold each point.

For several villages and houses in low-lying areas, Tu Hui responded quickly and made arrangements for centralized relocation after convening a team to analyze and assess the situation.

All cadres take immediate action.

He rolled up his trousers and walked into the village in the rain, knocking on doors from house to house to do his work.

Tu Hui also applied for support from the county, and the fire department, police department, and volunteers from the commission and bureau all joined in the work of evacuation and persuasion.

Fighting for ten hours straight.

Finally, before eight o'clock that evening, more than 3 people from three villages were relocated.

Night falls and swallows the world.

The torrential rain that had been raging for nearly a week finally gave the Meteorological Bureau face and reduced its offensive as promised, turning into small raindrops falling heavily.

However, the flood arrived as expected.

The water level of Chaoshui River rose sharply, almost submerging the dikes on both sides.

Once the dike is broken, the fierce flood will immediately engulf the fields and invade the villages.

However, at this point, there is nothing that can be done.

The villagers who needed to be relocated have already been relocated, and the necessary flood prevention preparations have also been made. The rest can only be left to fate.

Human beings claim to be the masters of this planet and say that man can conquer nature!
Excuse me!
That's an outdated joke from some dynasty.

If the planet sneezes, humans will be left in the dark and can only leave everything to fate.

Facing the violent flood.

Now it remains to be seen whether the rain will stop on time as predicted by the Meteorological Bureau, and whether the dams can withstand this disaster.

The flood was raging.

The clock is ticking.

The night was completely silent.

This night, everyone will wait in silent anticipation for the final answer to this life-and-death test...

(End of this chapter)
