There are four main drainage rivers in the suburbs of Beijing: Qinghe River, Bahe River, Tonghui River, and Liangshui River. There are more than 30 tributaries of them. Now they are all overflowing. The calm river water in the past has lost its restraint and roared against the gate.
Fortunately, God opened his eyes. The heavy rain seemed to be getting lighter and lighter. It did not last for two hours and slowly stopped. The water accumulation in the city was slowly decreasing. Many people had red eyes and finally breathed a sigh of relief. , no need to open floodgates to divert floods.
Wu Qianqian, who was far away in Xiangjiang, also breathed a sigh of relief. She immediately contacted the country and offered to donate disaster relief materials, medicines, and food. She also proposed that the steel rolling mill still had 4,000 assault boats that could be donated free of charge. She was involved in disaster relief, but the message she received back was that she was grateful and not needed, and that the country would be self-reliant.
It was not until the morning of the 9th that she received new feedback and agreed to accept the donation. Wu Qianqian breathed a sigh of relief. She had to quickly implement other things and was still busy.
Seeing that the water level in the periphery began to drop, Lao Yang was both happy and frustrated. It was really only a few hours short of digging a mountain, but falling short.
The phone rang again, and Lao Yang answered the phone tiredly. The voice of the old leader came from the phone. Director Yang stood up straight consciously.
“Chief, what are your instructions?”
“I won’t talk nonsense. I just got a call from the city and asked if your factory can provide more assault boats to save people. , rescue people, no time to delay!”
“But, leader, all the inventory in our factory has been taken away, and now we can’t even get it together.”
“I’m talking about what you said. I know, but Lao Chen said, you still have two hundred sets without engines, which can also save people.”
"Yes, where is it?"
"There is a farm over there in the Louzizhuang area. More than 300 people are trapped now. The other assault boats have been allocated and cannot be transferred back for a while."
Lao Yang secretly complained that the distance was too far, dozens of kilometers, how could he get there without power?
Lao Yang's silence made the leader understand his concerns. "You make arrangements now. Someone from the city will go to your place right away. Even if you use your hands to row, you have to help them rescue the people."
"Yes! I promise to complete the task!" Although Lao Yang firmly agreed, But I didn't know anything about it. An assault boat can carry 6 to 8 people. More than 300 people don't need many assault boats. But how to get across is the problem. There is water everywhere. Is it possible that it is really impossible to paddle across dozens of kilometers? Isn’t that nonsense?
By the way, Lao Yang soon had an idea. Zhu Xuefeng asked Lao Xia to help him make a few jet skis. He still knew about this. Xiao Zhu also boasted that the thing was very powerful, although he didn't see it. However, according to Xiao Zhu’s method, it should be reliable. Old Yang even admires his good brain. He is really right. This brain will be useful if it is used more. Haha, Xiao Zhu, just come and be a boatman. .
Zhu Xuefeng was confused when he received the task of organizing people to rescue people at Louzizhuang Farm. He was a little confused. Does the city need him to rescue people? What kind of thing is this? After graduation, I have no staff.
Director Ma had to explain to Zhu Xuefeng for a while before he understood the whole story. With so many twists and turns, it seemed that he really had to take action on his own. Of course, he couldn’t do it cheaply. Xie Junjie’s five buddies, soon, six jet skis Just outside Dongzhimen.
"Be safe and come back soon!" The two women's reluctant reminder made Xie Junjie discover some great secret, but he could only pretend not to know and shouted at the top of his voice.
"Brothers, didn't you say that we won't be allowed to go to Jinhai for rescue? We can just go to Louzizhuang Farm to test the water first. Maybe if we perform well, we will be allowed to go."
"Yes, this is an opportunity. Without us, these unpowered assault boats are just toys. With us, a jet ski is worth as much as an assault boat. Haha, let's get going."
The water level outside the city is much higher than High in the city, the jet ski soon arrived outside the gate of the steel rolling mill, where dozens of unpowered assault boats had already been prepared.
The rescue comrades in the city were surprised to see six strange vehicles driving along the road to the gate of the steel rolling mill. They turned around and asked Director Yang in surprise.
"Director Yang, are you using this thing for traction?"
"Yes, you have also seen it. This thing is very flexible on the water and has sufficient power. Get ready to set off quickly. The sleepy comrades are waiting for you.”
The other party then gave up asking questions and watched the six young people jump off the jet skis.
"Xiao Zhu, this is Comrade Liu Dan. This time he is going to the rescue on behalf of the city."
There are only three rescuers in the city, including Liu Dan. It seems that the rescuers The staff was very nervous, but the steel rolling mill sent five young workers. Zhu Xuefeng pointed to the five second-generation workers behind him.
"These are the helpers I found. They are all skilled in driving jet skis. Please rest assured, leader, we will complete the task."
Shake hands one by one, we are acquainted, Ma The director arranged for people to quickly attach a "zodiac boat" to the jet ski.
"This is Comrade Jian Hui. He will be responsible for giving instructions later."
Zhu Xuefeng looked at a young man wearing a "white vest". The white vest had turned yellow, and he looked excited but seemed tired.
Looking at Director Ma arranging for people to string up the kayaks for the jet skis, he unexpectedly didn’t see Lin Yilan. It had only been two days since she last saw her. She was gone again, and she seemed to be missing in the courtyard. Zhu Xuefeng asked in a low voice .
"Uncle Ma, where is my junior sister? Didn't come to work?"
Director Ma looked around awkwardly, pointed at Deputy Secretary Gu not far away and said, "Let her arrange it I led the team to Jinhai for support. I really don’t know what she was thinking. I have a section chief here, but she insisted on letting a little girl lead the team."
Zhu Xuefeng said nothing. I looked at the face of Deputy Secretary Gu in the distance. They had never met formally before, so I couldn't figure out her temper. She looked quite educated, with her short hair pulled back and covered up by black-rimmed glasses. Her gaze, but the posture of leaning back slightly with her hands behind her back could still indicate something. I'm afraid this woman is not as easy to mess with as she seems.
"Director, it's tied up!" The security personnel came over to report, and Lao Yang also reminded, "Xiao Zhu, it's done, you go, go early and come back early."
Zhu Xuefeng didn't pay attention just now, but now he saw, what a good guy, there are six unpowered "assault boats" tied to the back of each jet ski. Those five stupid guys also repeatedly said that if you use more, they will definitely be able to pull it on the water. The motorcycle is very powerful, absolutely no problem.
Zhu Xuefeng stopped him quickly. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Please remove a few. I can only bring three at most."
"Xuefeng, you know this power. No matter how much more you have in the water, you can pull it. These are only six. Absolutely no problem." Li Bin was very confused about Zhu Xuefeng's opinion. He had already driven it before. The super power of this jet ski was like pulling a boat with dozens of people.
"No, no, it's too much. It can be pulled, but the assault boat itself can't bear it. It's not a boat. It's not designed to withstand such a big pull. It's good if one "assault boat" can carry two behind it. "That's what happened, let's dismantle it." The brothers lost their enthusiasm and came down to help dismantle it. They thought it would be cool to have a jet ski with a bunch of them behind it, but they didn't expect it. The assault boat itself may not be able to withstand the pull of this kind of force.
The team Zhu Xuefeng, who was getting ready to go again, unexpectedly discovered a lesbian.
"Director, you don't need a lesbian, right?"
"Everyone from the Propaganda Department has gone down. This time Comrade Yu can only follow us to do on-site interviews. She comes back to do disaster relief. Special topic. "
It turned out that Zhu Xuefeng lost his temper, and Lao Yang said in a low voice, "The little girl asked for a fight. You introduced her, so take care of yourself and don't let anything happen."< br>
Zhu Xuefeng was completely speechless. He could only nod and get on the car. The guy who gave the directions also got on his jet ski. The others got into the kayak and tried their best to help maintain balance.
"Slow down, safety first! People must be rescued."
Director Ma reminded loudly, Zhu Xuefeng could only raise his hand and wave to indicate that he knew, and then started the water The motorcycle was the first to set off, leading the team out of the street, into the wider ocean, and quickly headed southeast.
The person he pointed out was a young man who worked on the farm. He swam six kilometers in one breath to seek help. There was no boat on the farm, so there was no other way but to go to the city to seek help.
"Swimming six kilometers in one breath? That's awesome. Brother, are you so good at swimming?" Xie Junjie asked after he heard the sound and was already running side by side with Zhu Xuefeng.
"My hometown is Baiyangdian. I have good water skills since I was a child and can sleep in the water..." The young man looked a little embarrassed and a little petty.
It turns out that the morning before yesterday, several rivers overflowed their banks. Five villages and a farm in the Louzizhuang area were all flooded, and traffic was cut off. Soon, the city headquarters lost contact with the farm.
The young man’s name is Jian Hui. It rained heavily that day and night, and the water level surged again. Seeing that the water level continued to rise, I was very anxious. More than 300 employees on the farm were in critical condition and were trapped in the water for two days. , lack of water and food, but there has been no support ship.
Jian Hui couldn't wait any longer. Relying on his good water skills, he decided to swim across the water to ask for help, so he and two People's Liberation Army soldiers set off into the water holding a car tire liner.
All along the way, there was vast water, and toads lay on top of the sorghum ears, fluttering and jumping on them. Several times, snakes used them as shelter and climbed towards people. He took off his white vest and dived into the water to get rid of the clinging of these little animals.
But the further you swim, the bigger the water becomes and the faster the current, and you go against the current. Fortunately, he grew up in Baiyangdian and splashed in the Juma River since he was a child. In his own words, "I can walk in the water and sleep in the water."
Halfway through the swim, Jian Hui found a telephone pole soaked in the water, which made him feel more at ease. .
“If there are telephone poles, there are wires. If you follow the wires, you will not get lost, and you can also borrow some strength.”
After fighting the flood for nearly 4 hours, the three The individual finally swam to a high place. They were also surrounded by water and traffic was interrupted. They were cutting down trees to make rafts to save themselves. There was no other way. The three of them went into the water again to seek help and finally found rescuers. Unfortunately, only one rescuer came from the boat team. A green tin boat, the rest is just a raft that has been tied up, a small boat used by fishermen for fishing, and actually there are more than ten small covered cruise boats in Beihai Park.
He said that except for iron boats, it would be difficult for these rescue equipment to cross the current in front of them. Moreover, there were many people who needed to be rescued by this "rescue team" at the scene. It was not known when it would be their turn to rescue them. He ran to the city in one fell swoop to ask for help.
"Comrade, when you meet us this time, you will definitely complete the task easily." Xiao Donghai, who was catching up with us on the left, boasted cheerfully.
"You have also seen that our thing is fast and stable. With so many assault boats, we can rescue all three hundred of you in a few times."
Jian Hui looked at these six young men with envy, riding something she had never seen before, speeding on the water, with a string of assault boats hanging behind each one, which was indeed majestic.
The rescue team kept controlling the speed of thirty or forty, and soon arrived at the farm where Jian Hui worked. From a distance, they saw someone riding on the roof waving to them. That was the farm employee. Besieged by floods for two days.
As soon as the rescue team arrived, the comrades in the city quickly asked the farm director: "Are there any casualties?" The farm director proudly replied: "No, so far, only one pig has been lost."
As long as no one was injured or killed, the superiors issued a death order and no more fatalities were allowed. Comrade Liu Dan, who led the team, finally felt relieved. The next step was to rescue these workers and nearby farmers.
The people are scattered on different roofs. Most of the roofs are about to reach their tops. Only the small office building is better. There are probably no less than sixty or seventy people gathered there, many of them are old people and children. .
The assault boat slowly docked in front of the small building. Zhu Xuefeng wanted to test the depth of the water, but Jian Hui stopped him.
“This place is flooded on one floor. It’s at least three meters away. Don’t go down. You can’t find the bottom. The terrain here is low and there is a water diversion channel behind the building. It’s dangerous!”
After hearing what Jian Hui said, everyone was no longer ready to go into the water, but how could the people on the roof get on the assault boat? This was a problem.
Zhu Xuefeng just leaned the assault boat against the small building, and wanted to try to stand in the assault boat to pick up people, but a black shadow under the eaves in front of the small building startled him, darling, what a big snake. Survival here, the length is estimated to be two or three meters, Zhu Xuefeng felt very scared. He was not afraid of wild beasts, but he was really worried about the giant snake.
"Be careful, everyone, there is a big snake here. It seems that we have to kill it first." Zhu Xuefeng reminded everyone loudly. Only then did everyone notice that there was a big snake lurking under the eaves not far away. Panicked, I just heard someone shouting from the roof.
"Comrade below, is it a big brown snake? Two or three meters long?"
"Yes, it's a big guy. Don't rush down, let's eliminate it first."
"No, no, no, no. This snake has been on the farm for many years and has never hurt anyone. It has been helping us catch voles. Don't hurt it. It won't hurt anyone."
< br>Although the farm workers on the roof said so, Zhu Xuefeng didn't have the courage to try it. He probably couldn't fight against this behemoth in the water.
With a big guy of about three meters, the power of this winch is immeasurable. Although he has heard that snakes cannot use strength in water, Zhu Xuefeng does not want to try it.
"Captain Liu, let's change the direction and let them lower themselves with ropes. We can't do it here. This big snake doesn't know that we won't hurt it. Who knows if it will explode and attack."
< br>"That's right, we can't pin everyone's safety on a dangerous thing. Since no harm is allowed, let's change the direction. Now let the team disperse to rescue people. I will lead the team over there, and we will hand over here. Here you go."(End of Chapter)
