Buzz
The Chinook is flying northwards into the rain.
The remaining fuel is insufficient to continue south, and we must return as soon as possible to refuel.
Of course, they didn't have to go back to Beijing; instead, they chose Pingying City, north of Runan, where there were gas stations where they could refuel.
At the same time, it will also serve as a temporary command post.
The situation there is still unclear.
The plane continued flying forward, but Yang Xiaotao kept shouting down into the crowd through a megaphone.
Although he had already called out once, Yang Xiaotao was still worried. What if some villages didn't hear him?
The two pilots flew the plane smoothly.
They didn't fly these Chinook aircraft for very long, or rather, they didn't have much contact with them.
But it's not difficult to operate, at least much easier than importing from the alliance.
Just as the two were concentrating on overcoming the fatigue of driving, a black wall suddenly appeared in front of them.
To make it easier for Yang Xiaotao to communicate with those below, the plane was kept at a low altitude, only about ten meters.
At this moment, the black wall was actually about ten meters high.
"Oh no, pull it up quickly."
Yang Xiaotao's voice came through, and the two drivers had already reacted.
The plane suddenly pulled upwards, and Yang Xiaotao gripped the handrail tightly.
Fortunately, the safety rope on his body worked, allowing Yang Xiaotao to maintain his balance.
The next moment, a wave appeared below the plane, pitch-black water, raging water.
The fierce water vapor rushed directly into the cabin, making Yang Xiaotao feel a penetrating sensation.
The feeling was like a pair of eyes in the water, staring intently at an airplane on the surface.
Yang Xiaotao slammed the cabin door shut and then leaned against the cabin floor, panting heavily.
The pilot was pale and only slowly exhaled the cold air from his lungs after pulling the plane up to an altitude of 100 meters.
The co-pilot immediately looked into the cabin, "Mr. Yang, Mr. Yang, are you alright?"
"Mr. Yang."
"No, I'm fine."
Yang Xiaotao said in a cold voice, but his face was terribly pale.
Perhaps, they have never seen such a terrifying scene in their entire lives.
That kind of scene where death is just a stone's throw away.
"What huge waves!"
The passenger in the front seat spoke with lingering fear, while the driver nodded silently.
"Mr. Yang, we're heading back now."
Yang Xiaotao nodded, "Let's go back."
After saying that, he closed his eyes and murmured to himself, "I hope everyone listens."
Both of them felt heavy-hearted upon hearing this, and the plane immediately accelerated towards Pingying City.
Qingmu Mountain.
As the surrounding mountains, which are over 500 meters high, have now attracted people from all directions.
As the night rain fell, people were either woken up by village officials, pulled up by factory workers, had their doors knocked open and were dragged outside, or were pulled and hauled out.
In short, at this moment, almost everyone within a radius of several miles has gathered here.
With so many people around, and with rain falling from the sky, the incident happened suddenly and there were no shelters from the rain. It was also very cold at night, and there wasn't enough warmth, so many people were shivering from the cold.
Halfway up the mountain.
The families of the Qingmushan Steel Plant residents gathered here, including many of the plant's workers.
Time ticked by, and everyone's patience was worn away by the torment of time and the washing of the rain.
"Old factory director, it's almost dawn."
"It's nothing serious."
A worker approached the factory manager, Wang Qiang, and complained.
Their family has prepared a lot of things this year to help their son get married.
This time, we left in a hurry. The whole family put on rain gear, packed some food, and ran out.
If he gets robbed when he goes back this time, then all his hard work over the past two years will have been for nothing.
Wang Qiang was wearing a straw raincoat, holding his granddaughter in his arms, and surrounded by his family.
After hearing the complaint, he glanced at the people around him.
At this moment, many people showed the same expression.
Even his eldest son came up to him and said, "Dad, could it be that President Yang has made a mistake?"
"Should I go back and check first?"
Wang Qiang snorted coldly and glanced at his eldest son, "Idiot."
"Do you know who General Manager Yang is? And who are you?"
"Do you know as much as Mr. Yang?"
The eldest son shook his head hurriedly, not daring to speak.
Wang Qiang then looked at the others present and said, "I'm warning you."
“Every word Mr. Yang utters carries immense pressure.”
"But who is he bearing this pressure for?"
"It's for you, for your children."
"If nothing goes wrong here, neither you nor I will be in any trouble, but what about President Yang?"
Everyone's hearts sank.
When that happens, Mr. Yang will inevitably be questioned by his superiors.
Even though he has made many contributions, this waste of resources and manpower means his future career is over.
"But Mr. Yang still came."
"He came in person, and even brought along the leaders of the nine departments."
"Who is this determination for? Don't you fucking say you don't know?"
"A person must have a conscience."
Those around lowered their heads upon hearing this, not daring to say anything more.
Not far away, Wang Zhisheng heard Wang Qiang's words and saw the expressions of the people around him, and slowly exhaled.
This time, at least I didn't have to waste my breath explaining.
But he was also worried, both concerned about the flood and unwilling to let it come.
His conflicted feelings made him feel like a hypocrite.
Looking down at the muddy water illuminated by the flashlight, Wang Zhisheng suddenly felt as if the water on the ground was pulsating.
No, it wasn't just the water droplets that were dancing; the earth itself was trembling.
"Water, the water is here."
A piercing scream rang out in the darkness, followed by the screams of many more people.
The people on the mountain were completely speechless at that moment.
The next second, beams of flashlights shone down on the foot of the mountain.
Within the spot of light, first a wave appeared, then a wall of water appeared, followed by a thunderous crashing sound.
Those who lived close to the foot of the mountain ran frantically uphill, while those who wanted to go home wished they had two more legs to run up the mountain as quickly as possible.
At that moment, Wang Qiang hugged his granddaughter tightly, tears streaming down his face.
The worker speaking nearby stared wide-eyed in disbelief.
The next second, the worker raised his hand and slapped himself hard.
A crisp sound rang out, and everyone glanced at it before paying no more attention.
They all knew who the slap was for.
"My house."
"My home!"
A sobbing sound came from further away, and gradually, cries and shouts filled the crowd.
"Stop crying, everyone."
Wang Qiang suddenly stood up and shouted to the crowd, "As long as we're still alive, we'll build the houses when they arrive."
"The factory has arrived, and we can manufacture more."
"As long as the flame of revolution remains, and as long as we unite, there is no difficulty we cannot overcome."
"Comrades, wipe away your tears."
"Since the higher-ups have notified us to take shelter from the flood, they must have made follow-up arrangements."
"Everyone must have faith in our country!"
As Wang Qiang shouted, the people on the mountain changed their mindset.
"Yes, unity is strength." "Comrades, I am the factory director of the machinery plant."
"I am the director of the coal yard."
"Those from Qingmushan Steel Plant, assemble."
Wang Qiang shouted with great energy, and then the steelworkers, having said goodbye to their families, began to appear before him.
Section Chief Li also came to the side with the security personnel.
"Comrades, General Manager Yang of the Ninth Department has set an example for us."
"As members of the Nine Departments, if we don't stand up now, when will we?"
The workers present all stood tall, and even though the rain was cold on them, it could not extinguish the burning fire in their hearts.
"I order each workshop to cut down trees and build shelters on the spot, organized by small groups."
"After daybreak, people need a place to take shelter from the rain."
"Can it be completed?"
"can!"
"Yes, yes!"
The shouts of thousands of people became the loudest sound wave on Qingmu Mountain.
At this moment, Qingmu Mountain also had a leader.
Soon, shouts rang out, and the crowd began to move.
"First shift, take a saw, or a kitchen knife will do if you don't have a saw."
"Chop wood, all of you chop wood!"
"The second group, come with me to scout the terrain."
"Security department, follow me~~~"
With leaders, there are followers, and there is order.
Sunjiazhuang.
This is a village built on a hillside.
At this moment, villagers who had been walking around came into the village together. Every household opened their doors to let people in. Some houses were so full that people stood under the eaves.
This at least provides shelter from the rain.
At the top of the hill, in the village headquarters, a group of elderly people looked at the group of people with grateful expressions.
In the courtyard, others were setting up sheds to provide shelter for more people from the rain.
"Teacher Yang, thank you so much."
An elderly man still had tears in his eyes, but at that moment they were filled with gratitude for surviving the ordeal.
"If it weren't for you, I and my kids would be finished."
"Yes, Ms. Yang, thank you so much."
"You are the great benefactors of our village."
As they spoke, everyone expressed their gratitude to the girl in front of them.
They were sleeping soundly at home that night when they heard a voice shouting from above.
At first they didn't understand, but then they saw several girls from the brigade headquarters rush out and run into the homes of the village brigade leader and secretary.
After some negotiation, the girl finally persuaded the village officials, and then began to mobilize each household.
When they encountered some people who were unwilling to leave, the village officials did their best to persuade them, and finally they brought their families to Sunjiazhuang.
Now it seems that those who were unwilling to leave home feel a burning shame.
But the girl just shook her head, "Gentlemen, you don't need to thank me."
"If it weren't for Teacher Yang, we wouldn't have known that this would happen."
The girl was Yang Hongye from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, and behind her were Yang Dani and other staff members from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences.
"Teacher Yang, is the Teacher Yang you're talking about the leader of the Ninth Department?"
A brigade leader from the neighboring village asked curiously.
Yang Hongye nodded, "That's right, our Teacher Yang is the head of the Ninth Department."
As soon as he finished speaking, an old man sneered, "You've all wasted your lives all these years, don't you know Yang Village No. 1?"
Everyone was taken aback.
Behind Yang Hongye, Yang Erni proudly said, "That Yang Village No. 1 was planted by our Teacher Yang."
In an instant, the gratitude and admiration in everyone's hearts all turned into worship.
Something invisible yet capable of influencing people's hearts is gathering.
"Village chiefs, our most urgent task now is to rescue more people."
Yang Hongye remained calm and composed, her demeanor unchanged.
After all, she had followed Yang Xiaotao to the Northwest and experienced gunfire, so she knew what Yang Xiaotao would do here, and so she copied him.
"Teacher Yang, just give us your instructions, we'll do whatever you say."
"Yes, we're all roughnecks. We'll do whatever you tell us to do."
Everyone nodded in unison, clearly regarding Yang Hongye as the trustee.
Yang Hongye was equally forthcoming: "First, we must protect the water source. After the flood, we must pay attention to hygiene and make sure to drink hot water."
"Secondly, we organized able-bodied men to begin the rescue."
As the arrangements were made one by one, the people on the mountain began to act in an orderly manner.
The same scene played out on many surrounding hilltops.
Many people who came to the mountain after leaving their homes did not invest in building shelters.
They were still thinking the news was fake, and that they could go home and continue sleeping soundly.
But then, seeing the floodwaters right below them, after crying, making a scene, and feeling lucky, they began to dedicate themselves to building the shelter.
As dawn broke and the sky began to lighten, bonfires lit up the mountain.
They built wooden structures and covered them with tarpaulins, where children huddled together for warmth.
In the distance, the men were working hard to build shelters, while the women were busy starting fires and boiling water.
Meanwhile, the rain in the sky did not decrease, and the water below the mountain continued to rush.
Pingying City, temporary command post.
Yang Xiaotao stood in the break room, looking at the busy figures outside the window and the dark clouds gathering in the sky, his face solemn.
bang bang
A knock sounded at the door. Yang Xiaotao turned around, put down the enamel mug that had long since cooled, and went to the door to open it.
Then they saw Yu Zecheng walk in, followed by Yang Zhi.
They invited the two people into the house, and the three of them sat down casually.
"We just received a message from downstream."
"Because of our timely notification, those small reservoirs downstream released water ahead of schedule."
"Although ten small stone dams were eventually washed away, the other fifty-odd dams remained intact."
"This ensures the safety of the downstream area."
After Yu Zecheng finished speaking, Yang Xiaotao finally felt relieved.
In my past life, I clearly saw the horror of this flood from the videos I watched.
The floodwaters from the collapsing dam directly washed away dozens of reservoirs downstream, turning the water in these reservoirs into accomplices. Under such circumstances, the resulting losses were terrifying and unprecedented.
Fortunately, because we were notified in advance and made preparations beforehand, a major disaster was averted.
What about casualties?
Yang Xiaotao breathed a sigh of relief, but then asked about the casualties.
Yu Zecheng shook his head, "Old Liang is sending a helicopter to check it out."
Seeing this, Yang Xiaotao got up to leave.
However, they were stopped by Yu Zecheng and Yang Zhi.
What are you doing?
Yu Zecheng said coldly, "After Old Chen found out about the danger you encountered last night, he strictly ordered you not to leave here."
Yang Xiaotao was taken aback, then realized what was happening and said, "There's no risk now."
Yang Zhi shook his head. "President Yang, please don't make things difficult for us. Old Master Chen gave a direct order."
Yang Xiaotao was speechless, then smiled wryly and said, "Alright then, I'll wait for news here."
The two nodded in agreement, but showed no intention of leaving.
Yang Xiaotao felt that his character had been questioned.
Around 8 a.m., a Chinook plane was parked at the airport.
Yang Xiaotao, holding an umbrella, came down to the plane. When the cabin door opened, Qing Lao's figure appeared before him.
Yang Xiaotao quickly stepped forward and opened the umbrella. Qing Lao walked up to him, his eyes full of approval, and solemnly extended his right hand.
Yang Xiaotao, holding the umbrella in his left hand, quickly grabbed the old man's hand, and heard the old man say earnestly and firmly, "Comrade Xiaotao, you've worked hard."
Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaotao took a deep breath and then gripped the old man's hand tightly as well, saying, "Commander, I have fulfilled my mission and everything went smoothly."
