First Secretary of Rebirth

At 09:30 in the evening, the residents of Jingzhong County who were watching TV suddenly found that the TV program had stopped, and a line of large characters occupying the entire screen was scrolling.

According to the forecast of the Meteorological Observatory, a large-scale mudslide will occur between [-]:[-] tonight and [-]:[-] a.m. tomorrow. The main area of ​​impact of the mudslide is the central street of the county. The east and west sides of the county are transferred.

The area from Donghua Road in the east to Xihua Road in the west is expected to flow through. Residents are advised to take precautions.

After robbing Liu Xiangnan to the TV station, He Chaoyang and Ling Wei did not show up. Instead, Tang Xiaoli, who took off the epaulettes and armbands, "escorted" Liu Xiangnan in. He wanted to let Liu Xiangnan show up to speak, but Liu Xiangnan refused to do so, so he could only retreat. The second one was changed to a scrolling broadcast in text form.

At the same time, the People's Broadcasting and Telecommunications Bureau of Jingzhong County also issued an early warning to the people of Jingzhong County through live broadcast and SMS.

As soon as this news broke out, Jingzhong County immediately exploded.

Some believe it, some don't believe it, some immediately drag their families out to avoid danger, and some don't believe in evil and stay at home.

Sitting in the car, He Chaoyang and Ling Wei couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief as they watched the sparse crowd slowly gather on the street.

"Someone always believes it." Ling Wei patted He Chaoyang's hand.

"Let Xiaoli's people maintain order." Now that it's raining too much, and there's no warning time, many people are probably still hesitating.

"Is that Secretary Liu reliable?" Ling Wei rubbed his brows, recalling what happened just now, he was impulsive, but not regretful, but he should think about how to deal with the aftermath of this incident.

"It's already on fire, so he can't escape anyway." He Zhaoyang said with a smile: "If he can really avoid this danger, maybe he will be grateful to me."

Ling Wei turned his head and glanced at him, but didn't speak again.

As the time approached the warning time, more and more people braved the heavy rain and moved to the east and west sides.

Two trucks of soldiers brought by Tang Xiaoli were standing at the intersection to maintain order.

The county town of Jingzhong County is not big, but so many people poured into the streets, the cries of children, the shouts of adults cursing, and the old men's nagging voices of comfort, kept pouring into the ears of Ling Wei and He Chaoyang.

"It has been raining for several days. If there was a mudslide, there would have been a long time ago. How can we wait until today!"

"Yes, yes, it rained the most today, and I don't know which grandson gave the order."

"It's not an order, is it? Isn't it voluntary?"

"Seeing that message, who dare not take it seriously!"

"If there is no mudslide, tomorrow I will lead people to surround the county government, what a shit! People are not allowed to hide from the rain in the house on heavy rainy days. The Xihua Road is very deserted. Where can we go to hide from the rain?"

Families dragging their families along the road, some people cried and others scolded, but as the flow of people gathered, the scolding became quieter, probably because of the herd mentality, anyway, I was not the only one who was unlucky, so Many people accompanied them in the rain, and got some psychological comfort to some extent.

The soldiers brought by Tang Xiaoli pulled off their epaulets and armbands. Seeing that most of the crowd had gathered outside the designated area, they joined hands to form a human wall to prevent the restless crowd from rushing through the cordon.

Just as the crowd was gathering, Liu Xiangnan's cell phone was almost blown up.

The cadres in Jingzhong County didn't know what happened. They inquired about the news through various channels, but after inquiring and inquiring, they finally heard a little news from the TV station. It was Secretary Liu who personally went to the TV station to give the order.

All of a sudden, Jingzhong's officialdom was blown up. Secretary Liu gave the order alone?Isn't he crazy?The mass transfer of half the county town, such a heavy rain, what should I do if something goes wrong?

It's not that Jingzhong doesn't have disaster prevention plans, but they are all written on paper. The reality is that so many people have gathered on the edge of the county, and Jingzhong County can't even find a temporary resettlement site.

The time has slipped past eleven o'clock, and the rain is getting heavier, but there is still no movement on the mountain!

"What the hell is going on? Didn't you say that the mudslide is coming at eleven o'clock? It's almost 11:30, how long do you want me to be in the rain?" A man whose heart was completely chilled shouted road.

"Please get back inside the cordon." The soldier wearing a raincoat as the cordon looked at him seriously. "The last time for the alert is [-]:[-] am tomorrow, and there is still an hour and a half before now. Please hold on and don't move around."

"Hold on! It's not you who dares to get wet in the rain!" The man glared at him angrily.

Brother Bing didn't move, and continued to look at him coldly.

Someone behind him pulled the man and said in a low voice, "Didn't it be said on the radio? The scheduled time for the mudslide is from eleven o'clock to one o'clock, so hold on for a while!"

"I'm about to die in the rain!"

"Why don't you hide there for a while?" The persuading person pointed to a small shop with lights in the distance.

The man wiped his face, "There are women and children over there, what am I going to do!"

"You hide under my umbrella."

While talking, everyone huddled together, and those who had umbrellas closed them together, so as to protect some people from the wind and rain.

The safe areas outside Donghua Road and Xihua Road are full of people and overcrowded.

Liu Xiangnan arranged the aftermath work and rushed to the intersection of Xihua Road.

Ling Wei and He Chaoyang's car was parked not far from the intersection of Xihua Road. They didn't go to the place where the street lights were on, but drove the car to the gap between several big trees. In the dark night, it was quite secretive. .

Liu Xiangnan followed Tang Xiaoli to find their car with a gloomy expression on his face.

"Mayor He, I'm so excited." Liu Xiangnan said with a fake smile: "Look at how many people have poured out of this county. If you let everyone rain for two hours, but nothing happens, have you ever thought about it?" How do you deal with the aftermath?"

He Zhaoyang looked at him and said frankly, "I'm sorry, I didn't think about it."

"You!" In the heavy rain, Liu Xiangnan's face was distorted. "Mayor He, did I have a grudge against you in my previous life? Did you come all the way to frame me? Let me tell you, I left the evidence that Captain Tang threatened me. You are the mayor, but here is Ganxi, it's not you Ningbei!"

"Secretary Liu, we also have good intentions." Ling Wei frowned and said, "What if a mudslide really happens? Isn't effective prevention more important than post-disaster rescue?"

"Natural disasters and man-made disasters are inevitable, don't you just expect a catastrophe in Jingzhong?" Liu Xiangnan replied unceremoniously to Ling Wei.

Ling Wei looked at him coldly, not knowing what to say anymore.

"Secretary Liu, what if there is a mudslide?" He Chaoyang patted Ling Wei secretly, then turned his head and said to Liu Xiangnan.

"It will be twelve o'clock soon, and I don't think the mudslide will come." Liu Xiangnan looked at his watch and said, "Mayor He, I think you should think about how to explain to your superiors."

As he said that, he shouted to the back, "Li Jun, treat our Jingzhong guests well, and I will only ask you if there is one less!"

Immediately behind the tree came a group of policemen in raincoats, headed by Li Jun, director of the Jingzhong County Public Security Bureau.

As soon as the police moved, Tang Xiaoli moved, and the gun in his hand had already pressed against Liu Xiangnan's lower back.

At the same time, Xiao Tan and Xiao Yu also escorted behind He Chaoyang and Ling Wei.

The rain was falling, and the atmosphere beside the off-road vehicle suddenly became tense.

"There is still an hour, and Secretary Liu is too impatient." He Chaoyang pressed Tan Chenggong's raised hand, and said: "If you can run away, the monk can't run away from the temple. Since I dare to do this, I am not going to evade responsibility." .”

"Mayor He is really virtuous." Liu Xiangnan smiled coldly and said, "However, you can leave it to the leaders of Ganxi Province to talk about it!"

While speaking, Liu Xiangnan wanted Li Jun to do it.

Rumbling... Before the order to arrest people was spoken, a deafening sound suddenly came from the mountain behind the county seat.

"The landslide!" A cry burst out from the crowd not far away.

In an instant, the street lights went out. Before everyone knew what happened, they heard the sound of water pouring down from top to bottom like a galloping horse. The sound was so fast that no one had time to react. Suddenly, the entire Jingzhong County fell into darkness. In the panic of everyone, someone turned on a bright flashlight, one, two, three... beams of light converged together, and it was barely possible to see what was happening in front of them.

The central street of Jingzhong County is low-lying, and beyond Xihua Road and Donghua Road are the highest elevations on both sides of the county.

At the place where the beams of the strong flashlight converged, a raging mudslide had flooded the central street of the county town into a vast ocean in the blink of an eye.

The light beam swept upwards, and apart from the raging tide, the most luxurious buildings on Central Street had disappeared. Looking down, the rushing mudslides had already swept everything as far as the eye could see into a piece of flat ground.

The masses outside the warning line fell silent. The tragedy in front of them has exceeded the limit of their cognitive level. The rolling mudslides almost instantly razed their homes to the ground. How many people will die because of this.

Such a ferocious mudslide will never give people a chance to escape.

Too fast, too hard, too scary.

The rain was rustling, and no one dared to move.

The electricity was cut off, only the faint flickering of candles in the small shop.

Cold and hungry, no matter how difficult it was, the soldiers who joined hands to support the last barrier for them never retreated a step.

"We still have a place in our house, let's send the children in first!" Some residents opened the windows and shouted.

"Our family takes in the elderly!"

"Our family cooked hot soup!"

In the dark rainy night, the faint candlelight reflected behind the windows seems to be a sign to guide the way.

Men in prime of life gathered together consciously, and they silently sent the elderly, children and pregnant women into those open doors.

On this rainy night, being able to drink a sip of hot soup has become the most extravagant thing.

At the same time, it has also become the warmest memory in the hearts of many people.

Countless people are thanking the comrades at the meteorological station who gave them early warning, and countless people are praising the leaders of the county party committee who responded at the critical moment.

But at this moment, Liu Xiangnan, secretary of the county party committee who was praised by the people of Jingzhong County with a thumbs up, was pale and dripping with cold sweat.

Is there really a mudslide?Is it really a disaster of destroying the city? !

Standing in a secluded place, he could see more clearly than others under the reflection of the strong flashlight. When the overwhelming mud poured down with thunderous force, Liu Xiangnan was completely dumbfounded.

Residential buildings were knocked down in an instant, the entire commercial center was tilted down, and even the iron bridge connecting the east and west districts of the county was submerged in mudslides. Liu Xiangnan's face no longer knew whether it was rain or sweat. He moved his neck to look at He Chaoyang.

"Mayor He, this..." His lips trembled.

He Zhaoyang didn't speak, and pointed to Li Jun who was also shocked and hadn't recovered.

Liu Xiangnan understood and said, "Comrade Li Jun, you should lead the team to maintain order first."

Li Jun glanced at Liu Xiangnan, and withdrew the policemen.

After they left, He Chaoyang said in a low voice: "Secretary Liu, I'll leave here as soon as the day breaks, Jingzhong..." He paused, and continued: "You can pretend that I haven't been here before."

Liu Xiangnan glanced at him suspiciously, and tentatively said: "Such a great contribution..."

"Secretary Liu, as you said, I am a cadre in Ningbei." He Chaoyang took two steps forward and patted Liu Xiangnan on the shoulder, "Isn't it not too bad that the cadres in Ningbei are in charge of the cadres in Ganxi?" suitable?"

He Chaoyang was smiling, but the smile didn't reach his eyes.

Liu Xiangnan's lips moved, but he didn't say anything after all.

Before dawn, the heavy rain gradually stopped.

The risk-avoiding crowd who stayed up in the middle of the night finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Maybe after dawn they will find that there is no shelter, but compared with the flooded homes, it is not bad to save a life.

The sky was dim, and standing on the side of Xihua Road, one could already see that the once prosperous Jingzhong County was covered by bottomless mud.

No one knew if there were still people inside, and no one wanted to recall the shock of last night.

While the crowd was still watching, He Chaoyang and Ling Wei quietly got into the car and ran along the path to the outside of Jingzhong City.The road outside the city is littered with stones washed by the heavy rain, and it is extremely risky to travel at this time.But Ling Wei and He Chaoyang knew that they had no time to waste.

As Annan's secretary and mayor, they had to rush back to sit in town as soon as possible, and even made up alibi from now on.

At the same time that He Chaoyang and Ling Wei left Jingzhong, Tang Xiaoli's team also retreated outside Jingzhong County.In Annan Earthquake, Tang Xiaoli led his team to win the first place. If his team is the top one in Jingzhong mudslide, then what awaits him is not praise but blame.

Finding a secret place, Tang Xiaoli urged the cooking team to light a fire and cook. His brothers hadn't slept all night. Compared with the panic-stricken crowd, his brothers were under much greater pressure.

"Come on, let's have a bowl of hot porridge." Tang Xiaoli handed a lunch box to a soldier.

"Commander, why don't we go in and rescue?" asked the soldier with bloodshot eyes.

"Wait a little longer." Tang Xiaoli patted him on the shoulder and said, "Let's go in after the brother troops arrive."

"But if it wasn't for us last night, Jingzhong would have messed up a long time ago."

"Then let's go back to being unsung heroes." Tang Xiaoli smiled, but the worries in his heart could not be dispelled for a long time.

This time the commotion was too great, even if he and his second brother made amends afterwards, it would be difficult to escape the blame from above.

Soon, Tang Xiaoli's premonition became true.
