Tang Ming shouted, "I'm the platoon leader! Even if I die, I'll die first! Get out of my way!"
"Platoon leader!"
"Platoon leader!"
The people in the fourth row were getting anxious!
Although Tang Ming had only been a platoon leader for a short time.
But they truly regarded Tang Ming as their idol and leader.
Moreover, over the past few months, Tang Ming has been providing them with guidance on various training methods without reservation.
This relationship goes beyond mere camaraderie; they all consider Tang Ming their brother.
"Get out of my way!"
Tang Ming shouted, "When it comes to swimming ability, who among you can compare to me?"
Tang Ming glared at them, then looked around before rushing to a large rock that weighed at least two hundred pounds.
He grabbed the sides of the rock with both hands, roared, and forcefully lifted the rock up!
"Listen to me, don't try to pull me up here unless the ropes on me are slipping very fast!"
Tang Mingchong gave the order to the men in his platoon.
"Yes!"
The people in the platoon all nodded with somber expressions.
They knew that Tang Ming was holding onto the stone to increase his weight so that he wouldn't be swept away by the raging river when he went down.
But what they didn't know was that Tang Ming wasn't going to swim across.
The river was so swift that even the most skilled swimmer couldn't possibly withstand its immense force.
He just wanted to use the weight of the rocks to get to the bottom of the river quickly!
Only after reaching the bottom of the river can he use Spider-Man's climbing skills to make his body stick tightly to the riverbed!
Of course, he wasn't sure if his climbing skills could withstand the impact of the river, which is why he needed stones to increase the weight.
Watching the roaring and churning He Lang, Tang Ming took a deep breath, grabbed the two-hundred-pound stone, and leaped headfirst into the river.
As soon as he jumped in, Tang Ming was swallowed up by the churning, murky river water.
The students in the fourth row saw that the two ropes connecting Tang Ming were being dragged into the river at an extremely fast speed!
"Oh no! The platoon leader is being swept away! Quick, pull him up!"
Seeing this, the students in the fourth row were all frightened.
But just as they were about to pull, the rope suddenly stopped moving!
"Wait a moment!"
Suddenly, the squad leader shouted, "The rope isn't moving! The platoon leader is alright! He must have sunk to the bottom of the river!"
Meanwhile, nearly ten meters below the riverbed, Tang Ming used his climbing skills to grip the rocks tightly with both hands and feet.
Because the river waves were too big.
The silt that had accumulated below has been mostly washed away, leaving only relatively solid mud and rocks!
This gave Tang Ming a very strong adsorption force!
Even so, his body was still being violently pounded by the surging river water.
After steadying himself, Tang Ming quickly crawled to the other side!
The people in the top four rows also saw the rope being pulled down at a moderate pace.
They were all stunned!
They knew that this was why Tang Ming was swimming towards the other side!
Otherwise, if it were being swept away, the rope wouldn't be sliding down so slowly!
"My God! The platoon leader actually swam across underwater! That's terrifying! The undercurrents below are even stronger than the waves above!"
While they were still in shock, a head suddenly emerged from a dozen meters away diagonally opposite them and quickly climbed ashore!
"The platoon leader is out! That's fantastic!"
When the people in the fourth row saw Tang Ming safely reach the shore, they all cheered.
After catching his breath, Tang Ming shouted to the other side, "Quickly pull the rope!"
"Yes!"
After saying that, both sides quickly straightened the rope.
Tang Ming then tied his rope tightly to the tree behind him, and quickly tightened the rope on both sides.
Squad leader Zhao Tao shouted to the trainees in his platoon, "Make sure you tie the safety rope securely! Otherwise, if it comes loose, you'll be swept away by the river! We won't be able to save you!"
"Yes!" The trainees tied the rescue supplies to themselves and hooked the safety ropes with the two thick ropes that Tang Ming had pulled over, and began to pull themselves across the river one after another!
With the rope holding them in place, even though the river was still raging, it couldn't wash them away.
After a few people had crossed, Tang Ming immediately said to Zhao Tao, "Squad Leader Ten, you stay here and organize them to cross the river quickly. I'll lead the men to Tonggu Village first!"
"Yes!"
"be careful!"
"Yes!"
After saying that, Tang Ming led the eight people who had already arrived, carrying some rescue equipment, and rushed towards Tonggu Village!
The heavy rain is still falling.
The road leading to Tonggu Village was constantly being washed away by floods, and the trees on both sides swayed constantly, as if they could be broken by strong winds at any moment!
Braving the torrential rain, Tang Ming and his team of eight sped off at full speed.
They dared not slow down.
Every minute they delay increases the danger for the villagers of Tonggu Village!
They need to get to the scene as soon as possible!
Same ancient village.
This village isn't very big.
But it's not small either.
Some young people have gone out to work, leaving only elderly parents, women, and young children at home!
In this situation, if a flood breaks out, they simply cannot escape quickly given their mobility!
At this time, 80 percent of the houses in Tonggu Village had been destroyed!
Otherwise, it would have already been submerged by floodwaters.
Only a few relatively well-off two-story mud-brick houses were visible above the floodwaters.
However, this is also because Tonggu Village is located in the middle and lower reaches of the river.
The floodwaters from the middle and upper reaches are constantly rushing downstream, causing the water level to rise rapidly!
If things continue like this, and they cannot escape in time to reach a higher altitude, the entire village will be submerged and swept away by the flood!
Meanwhile, some of the villagers waited anxiously and fearfully on the higher slopes of the hillside.
Some hid on top of the two-story mud-brick house.
"What do we do? Why hasn't anyone come to rescue us yet!"
On the rooftop, dozens of villagers stood, their eyes filled with fear, their bodies trembling.
The cold wind and icy rain kept hitting them, and coupled with their tension and fear, everyone felt cold all over and their faces were extremely pale.
Even many children and the elderly have started to have fevers!
"Village chief! Didn't you say our Chinese soldiers were coming to rescue us? Why haven't we seen them yet?! If they don't come soon, we'll either be swept away by the flood or freeze to death here!"
"Yes, village chief! It's been so many hours! My child can't hold on any longer! Where are our People's Liberation Army soldiers?"
The village chief, a middle-aged man in his fifties, remained relatively calm. He shouted to the villagers, "Don't worry! Since the leaders said the People's Liberation Army would come to rescue us, they definitely will! We must trust our country and the People's Liberation Army! They will not abandon us!"
"They must be on their way. We must hold on! Once they arrive, we'll be saved!"
This is just one place.
There were also dozens of people in several other locations.
They were all trapped on rooftops or high hillsides.
However, with the water level rising continuously, the impact of the flood is becoming stronger and stronger, and the houses may be washed away at any time.
Most of these people are elderly, children, and women; very few of them can swim.
Once you fall, your chances of survival are slim.
The heavy rain continued, and various items kept drifting down from the middle and upper reaches of the river.
Things like wood planks, plastic, furniture, etc.
The floodwaters were extremely muddy, and in many places, they formed small whirlpools.
The entire sky was incredibly dark, and from a distance, it looked like the end of the world.
No wonder the villagers were terrified!
Another half hour passed.
The water level rose by several tens of centimeters, and the flow at the end became larger and larger.
Currently, only a few houses with people standing on them have their tops visible, allowing us to see the people standing on them.
All other houses have been submerged.
