The Beginning of the World: Going to the Countryside as an Educated Youth

Chapter 221: Flood

The radio station immediately began broadcasting the Municipal Public Security Bureau’s emergency evacuation notice.

Afterwards, the secretary of the prefectural party committee rushed directly to the broadcasting studio, used his spare time to draft the order, and read it out to the general public as soon as possible.

At this moment, there is a dark cloud over the city and heavy rain is coming continuously.

The few tweeters in the city couldn't carry the sound very far, and most residents didn't have cable radio in their homes.

There is no radio...

Some people heard it and thought it was a scare tactic and ignored it...

Some people even hold on to the hope that they will be lucky and are unwilling to retreat even if they know the truth. They are unwilling to leave their comfort zone...

Just as the leaders of the municipal and prefectural committees were sitting in the car anxiously.

In the blurry vision in the distance, rows of large trucks are approaching quickly...

The majestic momentum was like a knife piercing the sky.

At the front, Tian Fujun and Zhao Dongchuan got out of the car quickly.

"Hello, where is Secretary Zhang?"

Seeing the arrival of the people, the leaders of the prefectural party committee also got out of the car and let the heavy rain wet their clothes.

"I am... may I ask who you are?"

A slightly thin middle-aged man stood up and asked.

"Hello, I'm Tian Fujun, the Commissioner of the Huangyuan Administrative Office. I've sent a report to the provincial government... I'm here to support you..."

"I temporarily requisitioned more than 100 trucks, which contained hundreds of loudspeakers... some rescue supplies, and thousands of life buoys..."

"Hahaha, great, great! Thank you, Commissioner Tian! We ordinary people are saved..."

Secretary Zhang laughed out loud, regardless of his image.

At this time, the political commissar of the military sub-district also rushed over and began to arrange the limited soldiers under his command and distribute loudspeakers... At the same time, the public security department took emergency action...

Cars drove around the old town shouting.

"Fellow residents, the flood is coming soon... Please evacuate to the designated location safely and orderly according to the instructions after hearing the broadcast... Don't bring too many things, human lives are at stake... Please evacuate quickly..."

As more than a hundred trucks circled the city shouting… the entire city’s residents were mobilized.

People kept getting on the trucks, wearing their clothes and carrying bags...

There are also people who are reluctant to throw away even the pots and pans in their homes and are always moving things around.

Suddenly the whole city was in chaos... The people fleeing were evacuating like defeated soldiers...

Most of them rode their bicycles and followed the instructions to reach the nearest high slope.

Those who were far away got on the truck...

During this time, people kept getting on the truck and urging it to leave quickly... Once they got on the truck, they didn't care about others...

During this period of escape, people's hearts are unpredictable... Many immoral and irrational things happened, which is really the reality of life...

I won’t go into details here.

Fortunately, Tian Fujun and Zhao Dongchuan arrived in time...

Before the river water rose higher and higher and swallowed up the city embankment like a beast, most of the citizens in the old city had already moved to a safe place.

…………

"Boom! Boom!"

A flash of lightning streaked across the sky, and thunder rumbled...

All I heard was a series of "Snap! Snap! Snap!"

The huge waves kept hitting the city wall...

With a dull "puff!"

A crack appeared in the city embankment, and then the crack grew larger and larger, eventually forming a large hole, followed by several more large holes...

In an instant, the flood was overwhelming!

The torrent is rushing towards the city...

Soon the whole city began to seep water rapidly...it only took a few minutes for the water to reach the ankles to the knees.

Soon, the entire old city was completely submerged...all kinds of things were floating in the water.

There are livestock, furniture, wood... and the elderly who didn't have time to evacuate...

The news of the fall here was also fed back to the superiors as quickly as possible.

Zhao Dongchuan was in a safe place at this time...looking at the natural disaster in front of him...he was shocked!

"Brother-in-law... come in quickly... take shelter from the rain..."

Tian Xiaoxia shouted at him from inside a simple tent.

Tian Xiaoxia also came this time, perhaps due to historical inertia, or perhaps because her own initiative was too strong.

Tian Xiaoxia did not stay at the university to teach, but once again became a reporter for a provincial newspaper.

But this time, she did not come here on her own with the provincial party secretary Qiao Boyan and others by helicopter.

Instead, he came here with the transport team organized by Tian Fujun and Zhao Dongchuan.

Zhao Dongchuan was deeply impressed by the rainstorm and flood. This natural disaster was beyond his personal ability to change, at least not for now...

He had no way of intervening in municipal engineering projects… In fact, he wasn’t sure exactly when it happened… And no one believed what he said. This kind of flood couldn’t be solved by just reinforcement… It required systematic transformation.

So he could only try his best to do what he could, such as communicating with Tian Fujun as soon as the rainstorm started... asking him to provide assistance... and at the same time letting the transport team that had been on standby for a long time head towards this side.

While purchasing relief supplies, we also reported to the region that we were donating relief supplies to the disaster-stricken areas in the name of corporate aid...

Naturally, such a big thing could not be hidden from Tian Xiaoxia, so she also came... But this time Zhao Dongchuan stayed by her side to take care of her all the way... So no accidents happened!

"Brother-in-law, it's all thanks to you this time. You saved so many people... You have done a great deed..."

Tian Xiaoxia looked at Zhao Dongchuan seriously with admiration.

"I'm just trying my best!"

"By the way, you have to be careful, be cautious...be safe..."

"Yeah...you too, brother-in-law!"

"..."

As the news continued to come in, provincial party committee leaders arrived at the front line of flood control by helicopter.

"Where's Gao Fengge? Where's Gao Fengge? As the commissioner of the administrative office, he is not on the front line at this time?"

Qiao Boyan shouted loudly in the command center of the Normal College.

At this time, Executive Deputy Secretary Zhang Shengmin came over cautiously and said softly, "Secretary Qiao, Gao Fengge went back to his hometown to attend his son's wedding a few days ago and is on his way..."

"Snapped!"

Qiao Boyan clapped his hands hard, leaving a deep palm print on the flood control map on the conference table.

"Is he still a qualified cadre? Such a deserter..."

Zhang Shengmin calmly pulled Secretary Qiao's clothes... to make him pay attention to the impact.

This is not conducive to unity. The most important thing at the moment is to deal with the disaster and minimize the losses.

Qiao Boyan paused and said nothing more. He understood, but he was still angry...

"What is the current situation..."

"Secretary Qiao, the entire old city has been flooded, a large number of residents have been displaced, and people have suffered heavy property losses!"

"However, it is understood that there were few casualties this time...Except for a few people who did not evacuate in time, all other people have evacuated to safe areas..."

Deputy Governor Wan Guobang reported on the side that he had apparently just communicated with the leaders of the Prefectural Party Committee.

"Oh?"
