Chapter 155: Chapter 129: Stripped
The night, groups of people are heading in different directions.
Zhang Quan is organizing the people of Hong County to move to higher elevations than the reservoir. anwhile, Wang Feng and Ji Sang rush to the reservoir at the first instance.
The water level has already surpassed the warning line of the reservoir, and given the current situation, it’s ti to open the gates to release the floodwaters.
But the problem is, just at this mont, there is an issue with the dam.
The first to discover it was Yan Jin.
With his keen military instincts, Yan Jin had woken up during the torrential rain and imdiately went to inspect the dam.
Sure enough, under the increased water pressure, the dam that previously appeared to be fine was now showing signs of seepage.
At 4:10 AM, the military base in S city officially began the ergency repairs on the Hong County dam, and the nearest fire departnt from Hong County in S city was also urgently deployed.
When Ji Sang and Wang Feng arrived, both soldiers and professionals were all gathered at the dam for repairs, with the dical team altogether grouping together.
Lin Jiao was at the forefront, her face stern as she looked towards the direction of the dam, even though she could only see a dim light from that spot.
Their gazes t, and Ji Sang pursed her lips, knowing what Lin Jiao must be feeling at that mont.
“It’s going to be alright.”
She didn’t understand how dangerous the situation was, but she believed that Yan Jin would perfectly organize everything.
Not for any other reason, but because he is the one Fu Yisi deeply respects.
Hearing this, Lin Jiao’s gaze shifted slightly, landing on the bag behind her. Smiling wanly,
“He has undertaken even more dangerous assignnts, I trust him.”
But this was the first ti she was on a site with him, witnessing firsthand the dangers of his work.
The tension was inevitable, the worry unavoidable.
“You, on the other hand, be careful.”
Lin Jiao was not soone who lacked understanding. Since Ji Sang was not one of that old stone’s admirers, there was no need for her to be prejudiced against her.
Moreover, it couldn’t be denied, Ji Sang’s beauty and deanor were quite likely to draw the attention of exceptional individuals.
Especially won.
At such tis, her, a woman standing out fearlessly amid danger, indeed deserved respect.
Ji Sang slacked her smile slightly.
She wasn’t new to dangerous situations, it’s just that previously they were all unforeseen, but this ti, she was confronting the difficulty knowingly.
Wang Feng patted Ji Sang on the shoulder
“Trust in our Chinese military.”
…
The rain at night differed from that in the dayti; it was more urgent, fierce, and powerful, with the wind joining in the chaos, as the rain viciously slapped against the face.
Ji Sang was imnsely grateful that she had tied up her hair before venturing out.
In order to get a clear shot, the two stood at a comparatively better condition on the left side of the valve, which was perfect for capturing the ongoing repairs.
Wang Feng clearly had experience in this area, as he initially ensured the safety of their standing spot and that they weren’t hindering the military repairs.
Ji Sang followed his lead completely.
Even without proper rest, both quickly recuperated and were back to their condition.
“What everyone now sees is the ergency repair site of the Hong County Reservoir dam. At 4 AM, a severe torrential rain hit Hong County, and the water levels have already surpassed the reservoir warning line. As ntioned earlier, there are potential issues with the dam, and due to this morning’s torrential rain, problems have surfaced with seepage occurring on the dam surface. Currently, the military unit of S city along with the Ziyun District fire departnt are cooperating with experts and are engaged in repairs.”
“The situation on-site is quite urgent, but we can see that there is excellent order maintained, and even with the torrential rain hitting, our soldiers and firefighters are unwavering, demonstrating the strength of the sons and daughters of China.”
“As for the issues that arose at the Hong County dam, after the ergency repairs, experts will conduct an analysis.”
“…”
…
Fu Yisi stood in front of the hotel room’s window, the wild wind banging against it, humming loudly. Even rainwater had seeped in.
The man’s eyebrows were tightly furrowed.
Due to sudden torrential rain, the areas around Hong County had experienced power outages.
Fu Yisi’s car broke down twenty kiloters from Hong County. It was too late and no repair shop could fix it imdiately, so Fu Yisi had no choice but to find a nearby small hotel.
He was constantly worried about Ji Sang, nearly sleepless all night.
Yet, what he feared still happened.
The situation in Hong County was even more severe, and knowing Ji Sang, she was most likely working through this torrential downpour.
Fu Yisi clearly knew that calling now would be futile, but still harbored so hope, hence he tried calling Ji Sang three tis, and Yan Jin once.
No one answered.
The man raised his hand to rub his sore forehead, then approached the hotel staff, trying to rent a car to rush over.
“Sir, you really can’t drive under these conditions, even if you have urgent matters, you can’t joke with your own life, the rain in Hong County is even fiercer than here.”
“Do you have soone important over there? Don’t worry, I’ve received news that the people of Hong County are already being evacuated upwards. Soldiers and firefighters are working on flood control, it will definitely be alright.”
Fu Yisi pursed his lips and said nothing.
He knew Ji Sang would not be among those being evacuated.
She was still in a precarious situation.
The danger of the ongoing repairs at the reservoir was imaginable.
Especially under such dark, stormy conditions.
The man’s frown deepened with his thoughts.
“When will this rain stop?”
“It should stop tomorrow morning, sir, you should rest for a while.”
The lady finished speaking with a sweet smile.
The server was a woman. In such a small place, it was natural for her to take a bit more interest in soone like Fu Yisi.
It just so happened that she t Fu Yisi.
No matter how she signaled, the man didn’t spare her another glance, even directly asking her to leave.
…
The rain in Hong County began to lessen at six o’clock, during which due to high water levels, the gates had to be opened once to discharge water. Due to a minor flood earlier, this discharge caused less economic damage.
By six o’clock, daylight had already begun.
In these two hours, Ji Sang didn’t rest at all and was continuously capturing aningful and impactful scenes.
The repair work was making good progress, and even after working in the torrential rain for two hours, those lovely soldiers and firefighters exhibited no signs of exhaustion.
This ti, the discharge did not cause much impact on the housing structures in Hong County, and by six o’clock, Zhang Quan organized the people of Hong County to prepare breakfast for the soldiers and firefighters.
Lin Jiao was leading the dical team in treating the injured.
Yan Jin had a relatively serious injury.
His right arm from the biceps to the elbow was slashed with a deep, long wound, which had already whitened completely due to the soaking rain.
Yan Jin didn’t utter a word, insisting on continuing to work, but Lin Jiao, who had been paying attention to him, noticed his pale complexion and forcefully pulled him aside.
Seeing the situation, the dical team cleared the area, giving them space.
Lin Jiao stared at Yan Jin with a stern face, sizing him up and down, and said in a cold tone,
“Take it off”
