Chapter 43 Inquiry
In a house, Ren Ming saw the rescued soldiers.

This was originally the school's meeting room, but now it has been transformed into a temporary lounge.

In the room, there were folding beds next to each other against the wall, leaving an aisle in the middle, and on each folding bed lay a snoring soldier.

The firefighter lowered his voice, "Let's keep it quiet, they are too tired."

Ren Ming nodded.

If his guess is correct, these soldiers should have never rested for a moment from the early morning of yesterday to before they fell into the water.

He walked lightly along the aisle, carefully observing the faces of each soldier, trying to find the two faces he was familiar with.

The further he walked, the heavier his heart became.

This is not, this is not...

Finally, he scanned the faces of all the soldiers.

Without the tall Xiao Junhu and the immature Wu Yaqing, the worst happened.

He was stunned on the spot, and the next moment he walked back, in case he missed it.

This time, he looked more seriously and carefully. He walked for 20 minutes in just over 5 meters.

"Bang~"

The door of the conference room was gently closed by him.

At the door, he stared at the young fireman with piercing eyes, "Is everyone here?"

He desperately wanted to hear a negative answer.

"Yeah." The firefighter nodded halfway, and found that the face of the reporter on the opposite side was getting more and more ugly, and suddenly remembered something, "Yes! I remembered, when several of them were rescued by my comrades, they were in a severe coma. He was sent to the county hospital on the spot!"

Hope rekindled in Ren Ming's heart, "Let's go to the county hospital quickly."

"Okay!" The fireman also saw that the reporter seemed to care about the two he mentioned, so he turned around and left without further delay.

At this time, the door of the meeting room opened from the inside.

A soldier stepped out and was fastening the top strap of his life jacket.

Seeing him coming out, the firefighter stopped and hurriedly said, "Comrade, why don't you take more rest."

"Flood doesn't play by the rules, and won't wait for me to wake up before coming back." He raised his head, glanced at the three of them one by one, and finally landed on Ren Ming, who looked so outstanding without him, "You are yesterday's reporter! "

Ren Ming also recognized him as Xiao Junhu's soldier.

He hurriedly asked: "How is your platoon leader Xiao? And Wu Yaqing, is he safe?"

When Ren Ming asked, the soldier's eyes turned red immediately, and his eyes filled with tears, "The platoon leader...he was washed away by the flood."

Ren Ming's head was buzzing from his words, he took a deep breath, and asked again: "What about Wu Yaqing?"

"I don't know either. The platoon leader sent him to Xiangdao Village to save people. We are not together."

Ren Ming stopped talking. Xiangdao Village is very close to Laibin County, and the impact it received is probably not much bigger than Laibin County.However, many houses in the county town were washed down, so one can imagine the situation in Xiangdao Village.

Wu Yaqing is probably also...

Why don't good people live long?He couldn't figure it out.

Wu Yaqing is still so young, and there will be a more exciting life waiting for him in the future.And Xiao Junhu, his wife is still pregnant and doesn't even know that he came to rescue the disaster. If she gets the bad news, will she be able to hold on?And the child in her belly, will she lose her father before she is born?

Ren Ming suddenly remembered that he could still read files!

As long as the file is read, the time will go back to last night, when the rainstorm did not fall, and the levee did not collapse. Maybe I can save Wu Yaqing, Xiao Junhu and the soldiers who died in the flood, and I can also save Lai Bin Residents of the county seat and Xiangdao Village.

He wanted to load the file immediately, but calmed down the next second.

Now he only knows when the rain will fall and when the levee will collapse, but he doesn’t know where and why the levee collapsed. If he doesn’t know these things, it’s pointless to read the file and go back.

After clearing his mind, he said to the firefighter, "Can we take a boat to see the breach of the embankment?"

The firefighter shook his head, "It's too dangerous there."

"It doesn't matter, we'll just stand on the embankment, as long as we can take pictures from a distance."

"That's fine." The firefighter agreed.

Ren Ming said to the soldier: "Can you come with us, I want to hear from you the specific process of breaking the embankment."

The soldier shook his head firmly, "Sorry, I can't accompany you. The platoon leader is gone. I want to carry his will to save more people."

Ren Ming couldn't explain to him that coming with him would save more people, so he could only persuade him: "The water outside is very deep, and you can't save people by yourself without an assault boat. If you follow us, at least you can save people along the way. Save people."

The soldier considered for a few seconds and agreed.

The four boarded the assault boat and headed towards the breach of the embankment.

The assault boat was driving on the yellow "vast ocean", and on the surface of the "sea", there were washbasins, cloth shoes, plastic toys and other daily necessities of unknown households...

It's past eight o'clock in the morning. As usual, the place is already bustling with people coming and going.But now, there are only empty houses standing in the water.

Immediately after the flood broke out, the government dispatched thousands of people to organize rescue efforts, and finally managed to evacuate some of them, while the rest who were not able to be evacuated in time stood on the roof waiting for rescue, while others were rescued. The turbulent flood engulfed her and drifted to nowhere.

On the assault boat.

Ren Ming looked at the surviving soldier and asked, "Can you tell me the specific process of breaking the embankment?"

The soldier fell into the memory, "From eleven o'clock last night, there has been a heavy rain in Laibin County. This time, the rain is more urgent and heavier than ever before. The rain is not a drop, but like a waterfall. In the same way, water was poured down from the sky. In a few seconds, I was completely watered, and Platoon Leader Xiao urgently organized us to strengthen the embankment.

"About three o'clock in the morning, when we were strengthening the embankment, we found that there was a spring on the embankment, and the water gushing up from below was muddy. The platoon leader led a dozen people into the spring, but the bottom of the spring was dark It’s mud, and it’s too dark, so they still can’t find the source. The source has not been found here, and on the other side, the levee has another piping.”

"Water spouts more than one meter high from the gushing mouth with a diameter of half a meter. Compared with soaking springs, pipe gushing is more deadly, because if it is not blocked in time, the embankment may be washed away at any time. The platoon leader came up from the soaking spring and carried Two packs of sandbags, I jumped into the gushing. But it didn’t help, the water was still rushing out, and the gushing mouth was getting bigger and bigger.”

"In the end, the levee collapsed and a gap of three to four meters was washed out. The platoon leader who bore the brunt was instantly swept away by the extremely fast flood, and the gap became wider and wider. I was also swept away by the water, and was rescued by the firefighters."

At this time, the assault boat was docked under the embankment tens of meters away from the breach, where the water flow was relatively stable.

The firefighter who drove the boat said: "We go up from here, it's not safe to go any further."

 I found out that if you don't ask for a recommendation vote, no one will vote, so you guys are hot, vote for it!
