Chapter 676: Exploding embankments to release floods
Anyway, if it’s not enough, Xia Ran will be there to back him up, so what is he afraid of?
He now has extremely blind trust in Xia Ran's decision.
I always feel that this lesbian is a little weird, a kind of evil-inducing kind of person.
He can say anything and seems to be able to do anything, and the key is that he is very kind.
He was nervous when he heard Xia Ran’s threat before, and was worried that the other party would suddenly quit.
After spending the past few days together, he knew that no matter how irritating or excessive what this lesbian said, it was true.
It couldn't conceal her kind and shining heart.
“Just dismiss those village officials as you see fit.
How can you be a village cadre if you are so blind? Are you sure you are not here to bully the people?
Blindness is not scary, but being blind in heart is. That is completely hopeless. It is better to find someone who is not blind in eyes or heart. "
Xia Ran naturally did not forget to complain and put on airs.
Secretary Wang was really angry when he heard this. Some of the people under him are really disappointing.
He was really angry that he made such a mistake.
"Okay, I get it. I will report this to the whole county and ask all the cadres in the county to tighten their belts."
In the second half of the night, the rain became lighter, but the water in the dam continued to rise, which was very bad.
These people on the front line continued to hold their positions, not daring to relax in the slightest.
Xia Ran was going to stop posting at 11 o'clock, and will continue tomorrow.
As a result, these people just waited without moving, fearing that something unexpected would happen, and would not stop until they received the supplies.
Everyone played all night, and it was not until after 10 o'clock the next morning that all these things were distributed.
Of course, during this process, reporters took many photos to record this touching scene.
Xia Ran couldn't bear it any longer, so as soon as she finished her work, she washed up and fell asleep.
When I woke up again, I was woken up by someone because another batch of supplies had arrived.
The recipient of this batch of supplies was written as Xia Ran.
The photos she had taken before and had someone send to Chen Jin worked.
Chen Jin and her colleagues in the newspaper gave the event some good publicity and received a lot of donations from Shanghai residents.
They are basically supplies, including various clothes and shoes, both new and old.
There are also rice, flour, grain, oil, canned food and so on.
In this way, they gathered two large trucks and transported them here.
Although some of the clothes and shoes inside were old, they were all washed clean and tidy and could be worn directly.
Xia Ran didn't waste any more time. He discussed it with Secretary Wang and then continued to distribute the batch of supplies.
As for the distribution details of yesterday's batch of supplies, someone had copied it and pasted it all over the tent wall.
Anyone who is interested can squeeze in and take a look.
Some people even covered them with a layer of plastic film, hoping that they could last longer.
Of course, this scene was also filmed very well and reported.
Everything is progressing according to Xia Ran's idea.
But no matter how hard you try, you can't beat God.
In the afternoon of the next day, it suddenly rained heavily.
In less than an hour, the flood peak reached a historic high of 24 meters.
What is not mentioned is that in order to protect the overall interests, two places were selected to discharge floodwaters along the way, thus maintaining the current status quo.
As a result, due to the heavy rain, the embankments in several places were once again at the level of flood water.
Everyone started moving again.
The raging flood hit the dam mercilessly, and the dam was disappearing inch by inch under the beating of the flood.
Many ordinary people who originally lived here temporarily had to relocate again.
Some people even accidentally fell into the flood.
Someone shouted, "If you are a Party member, come here," and then he jumped into the icy flood without hesitation.
Seeing this, other soldiers and civilians also jumped into the water and formed a human wall.
We must rescue those who are alive and continue to reinforce and seal the breaches.
The merciless flood hit their bodies wantonly, and they were pushed around by the flood.
A wave hit them, and they shivered with cold.
The mouths, noses and ears were instantly filled with floodwaters, but no one retreated.
They stood firm like a solid wall of steel, buying more time for rescue and reinforcement work.
The others were also busy, paddling kayaks to rescue people.
Those who were driving piles were driving piles, and those who were loading soil were loading soil, and the dam was once again raised high.
Xia Ran continued with the work she was used to doing and was responsible for transporting bags of sand and grass.
By the evening of the 7th, the flood reached a new high, and the upstream dam reached a height of 26 meters.
It has reached its maximum value and the floodgates must be opened to release the flood.
The order to release the floodwater had been issued, and people had been sent to bury the explosives in advance.
In this case, some downstream areas where Xia Ran is located will be flooded by the released floodwater, and many people will need to be relocated again.
Xia Ran, who had never rested, drank a few sips of the spiritual spring water and drove the truck again to help evacuate the people.
She gave priority to taking away vehicles for the young, the elderly, and the infirm.
The rest of the people moved on their own legs.
The victims looked at the shacks they had just settled in with great difficulty, only to find themselves having to give them up again. They didn't even have the energy to cry or complain.
It was as if he had been tormented by the damn God and had completely lost his temper and had just accepted his fate.
I walked numbly and mechanically in the crowd, moving forward all the way, not knowing where tomorrow would be or where the future would be.
Some people even feel that at this point they are no longer surprised by any bad news and seem to be able to accept it.
It seemed that they did not accept it, but were forced to resign themselves to their fate. They were ruthlessly manipulated by fate.
Xia Ran pulled it again and again, and she even forgot how many times she had done it.
Of course, there are many people who do the same thing as her, but unfortunately there are too many ordinary people.
The transfer task is urgent and all transfer work must be completed before midnight.
The scheduled time for blasting the dike and releasing floodwater is exactly midnight, and the blast will be carried out at that time.
I heard many people say that in the early days, many civilians were rescued by the PLA soldiers using kayaks and various small boats from rooftops, treetops, upstairs, and higher dikes.
In order to wait for rescue, some children and the elderly were even placed in large basins by their families and left to float for several days.
The other adults just stayed in the flood and watched over them, just to survive.
After finally transporting all the people, time passed by and it was already early morning.
There was a loud rumbling sound, and the flood poured down like a monster that couldn't wait to be released from its cage.
Wherever it passed, there was no grass left, only a larger ocean.
It felt like just a blink of an eye, so fast that it startled and frightened Xia Ran.
At this moment, Xia Ran truly experienced the horror of the flood.
The flood disaster is fully visualized in the book.
When I read history books in the past, I would always see a few words about the flooding of the Yellow River.
