There's always someone paying for my life

Summer is the hot season, even at night, the weather is very hot, the sound of cicadas and crickets can be heard endlessly, but tonight is different from usual.

The pattering rain slapped on the window sill, leaving a clear sound of rain. The cicadas and crickets in the past hid back in the cave and could not be heard. The arrival of summer rain brought a little coolness to the obviously hot weather, because this After a touch of coolness, Ji Qingwei and the soldiers fell asleep even more deeply.

So much so that when they were woken up by the wake-up bell early the next morning, they still felt a little nostalgic, and it was only after getting up that Ji Qingwei and the others realized that it rained last night.

"It's really good." Zeng Tianqi sighed, and they were about to hurry. Compared with rushing in the scorching sun, it was obvious that the gloomy light rain at this time was more to their liking.

On the contrary, Battalion Commander Zhao frowned slightly as he looked at the weather, but he didn't say much.

The army set off at this point, except for Ji Qingwei's six people, the others were all registered soldiers, and it was Zhezhong that was driving in a military vehicle at this time.

It has been raining for seven consecutive days in central Zhejiang. The national flood control department has issued two flood warnings in a row. The water level of the Yangtze River has risen. However, due to the existence of dams, the current situation is not particularly serious.

That's why they will conduct flood control drills. If it is really serious, then it is not a drill, but a real flood control.

The light rain kept falling. The military vehicle drove all day, and it rained all day. From the beginning of the light rain, by the time it reached the center of Zhejiang, the raindrops had become big and slammed on the car windows.

Ji Qing looked outside suspiciously, and when the military vehicle stopped and all the soldiers got out of the vehicle, and went to the embankment in front of them, they frowned even more.

It feels... something is wrong.

The one with the same expression as Ji Qingwei was Battalion Commander Zhao. He looked at the river under his feet and felt the pouring rain, and the feeling in his heart became stronger and stronger.

"This rain... is a bit too much."

As the best cub in the entire battalion, Ji Qingwei stood beside Battalion Commander Zhao and nodded, "It's too big."

He looked at the river under his feet, and finally realized what he felt was wrong before, "Battle Commander, the water level here is about to rise, the dam can't hold it, and the flood is coming."

Battalion Commander Zhao: "???"

Ji Qingwei looked serious, "The flood is really coming! Has the flood control department notified you?"

Notice from the flood control department?Of course there is, but it's just a flood warning.

An early warning does not mean that there is a real flood coming, but now, Ji Qingwei said, the flood is coming?

"How do you know?" At this time, the rain was getting heavier, mixed with the strong wind, and the human voice was distorted when it spread out.

Ji Qing pursed his lips slightly, "I will look at the water veins. The water veins here are abundant and violent, and they are obviously about to overflow. The flood is really coming. Should we check the life jackets first, and then put on the sandbags!"

"By the way, where are the sandbags?"

Ji Qingwei is a good student and a good soldier. Even if the flood is really coming, he still remembers every word that Battalion Commander Zhao said to him during the flood control training before.

First check the life jacket, then put on the life jacket, and sandbags on the back to block the embankment, and then...

However, before Ji Qing recalled and repeated every step taught by Commander Zhao, the Commander Zhao in front of him looked at the river, gritted his teeth for a while and said, "I also feel something is wrong!"

He is a person who has personally experienced the great flood 20 years ago, so he naturally knows how terrible the flood is, and even more aware of the omens before the flood arrives, but this time, the feeling given to him by the river embankment is different from the feeling given to him by the previous flood. exactly the same.

Even more than that.

"Then what should we do? Where are the sandbags, Battalion Commander?" Ji Qingwei was very nimble. The life jackets had been distributed to each of them. At this time, he had already checked and put them on, and he was waiting for the sandbags to build the embankment. .

Battalion Commander Zhao looked at Ji Qingwei speechlessly, and wanted to shake Ji Qingwei's head, "Sandbag! Why do you need sandbags at this time? Run before the flood comes!"

Ji Qingwei: "???" Run? ? ?

Battalion Commander Zhao immediately returned to the vicinity of the military vehicle, "Don't just run, contact the nearby government quickly, notify all the villages along the coast, evacuate, don't care about the belongings, the most important thing is the people, everyone, all evacuate!"

The soldiers got out of the car in a daze, and after a while, they all got in the car again in a daze. Hearing Battalion Commander Zhao's roar, everyone evacuated immediately.

At this time, the government also received a call from Battalion Commander Zhao. As the local government, they naturally knew that there was an army coming over for a drill. They had communicated with them beforehand, but, "Are you doing a drill?"

Also call them, what a realistic rehearsal.

"Drill first, it's true, the flood is really coming, hurry up, contact all nearby villages along the river, everyone evacuates immediately! At the same time, we will be ready for rescue at any time."

Battalion Commander Zhao's tone was very anxious, because at this moment, the torrential rain was still falling non-stop, and the water level was constantly rising. It might overflow the river embankment and rush inland at any time. All places in the world will become a swamp country.

"But we haven't received the notification..." The person who answered the phone hesitated. If the flood doesn't come, everyone will evacuate. What should we do if something goes wrong?

Battalion Commander Zhao wanted to scold people at this time, "I'm not informing you? I'm Battalion Commander Zhao, the person in charge of the flood control drill this time, you can record this phone call, and I will be responsible for everything, but I will notify Now, if the flood really comes, and you cause casualties because of your delay, can you bear the responsibility?"

The staff was stunned, he couldn't afford it, but...for such a big event, "I'll notify the district chief immediately."

The other end of the phone hung up, and Battalion Commander Zhao was so angry that he wanted to drop the phone, but after thinking about it, he suppressed his anger and quickly called the flood control department. The flood is coming soon, and the flood control department should have data.

And the fact is exactly the same. When Battalion Commander Zhao called the flood control department, at this moment the flood control department also officially detected the abnormal situation of the water level in central Zhejiang. The non-stop rainstorm caused the water level in central Zhejiang to rise rapidly. It quickly exceeded the warning line, but this time after exceeding the warning line, the water level did not stop quickly, but continued to rise due to the heavy rain!

And if it continues to rise, it will be... a flood!

Therefore, when Battalion Commander Zhao was calling the flood control department, the flood control department was also quickly calling the government department. The purpose of the call was only one, to inform everyone—the flood was coming!

When the flood came, Ji Qingwei and Battalion Commander Zhao drove to the high ground with other soldiers, then sat on the ground, put on life jackets, and all the kayaks were fully inflated, just waiting for the flood to come.

Battalion Commander Zhao and the others, after placing the soldiers at a high point, drove to a nearby village with no other purpose, only one, and that was to pull as many people away as possible!

The flood alarm has been sounded, and most of the villagers have already received the news that the flood is coming. Most of the villagers who are desperate for their lives naturally follow the pace of the military vehicles and quickly go to a safe place, but there are always some stubborn Some people are procrastinating and unable to leave their furniture and property, or refuse to believe that the flood will come and submerge their hometown, and stubbornly refuse to leave.

As for these people, Battalion Commander Zhao chose to reserve some manpower, distribute life jackets to them, temporarily guarantee their safety, and persuade them, but most of them naturally left.

It is impossible to implicate more people who want to live because of these people who do not hesitate to live. Everyone's life is worth cherishing.

Time passed minute by minute like this, and the torrential rain was like a hole in the sky, pouring down without stopping. Finally, after a full hour of rain like this, the flood finally arrived.

The surging river rushes towards the shore, sweeping everything that can be swept away, sand, stones, trees, houses...everything is broken at the touch of a touch, and then buried by the surging river.

Battalion Commander Zhao and the military vehicle had already gone far away, some distance away from the flood, but when he saw the flood coming ashore, Battalion Commander Zhao still shouted "No".

There is another village that I didn't go to...

But at this time, it seems that it is too late.

No, in the soldier's dictionary, there is no such thing as too late.

"You guys go first, I'm going to Xiaoluo Village."

The people in Xiaoluo Village should have received the notice from the government. They may have left their village and headed to the high point at this moment, but this is only a possibility. What if they didn't receive it?

Battalion Commander Zhao didn't want to give up anyone, but he also didn't want to make fun of the lives of the soldiers. Now is the time when the floods are swarming. At this time, saving people is not hesitating to throw away lives.

So, he wanted to go alone.

But just as Battalion Commander Zhao got out of the car and was about to go to Xiaoluo Village with his kayak, behind him, soldiers jumped off one by one.

Including Ji Qingwei.

Battalion Commander Zhao looked at these children: "What are you doing down here? Go back to me!"

He had a tiger face, as if he was very serious, but the soldiers laughed, and Ji Qing said slightly: "Let's go together!"

Although Battalion Commander Zhao's face was very dark when he trained them, Ji Qingwei still remembered that he had eaten the popsicles he invited, and also because of him, he got a lot of money.

Therefore, he wanted to take care of Battalion Commander Zhao.

And as for the other soldiers?

"We are here to fight floods, this is our mission."

Yes, they are fighting floods. Although it is a drill, isn't the purpose of the drill at this time just to practice when they meet one day?Now that the drill has become a reality, isn't it time for them to practice?

Battalion Commander Zhao's eyes were moist, but his eyes were still red and he said: "Then let's go together, give me a good time, don't let me die!"

"Roger that!"

Everyone was inexplicably moved, only Ji Qingwei blinked at Commander Zhao and the others without making a sound.

die?Impossible, non-existent, as many people as they go, as many people come back, no one will die.

As for why?

Who let him be in this team?He has also made a little money. Although it is only a drop in the bucket compared to his original self, it is enough to recover part of his cultivation.

This department may not be enough to do other things, but it is not difficult to find someone, it is still very simple.

So, if you can't die, don't worry.
