Chapter 275 Reservoir Dam Collapse
"It's bad! The dam has collapsed! We have to run to higher ground!" Captain Ke reacted very quickly and shouted loudly. His voice sounded particularly clear and urgent in this chaotic moment.
He picked up Bai Xiufang and Lin Anan, who were still in a daze, one in each hand and evacuated immediately.
Zhou Shengnan also reacted. She stretched out her hand to hold the table and looked at the aunt under the table. "Quick! Tell the villagers to evacuate. This place is only halfway up the mountain. It's not enough! We have to evacuate higher up!"
Lin Anan was pulled by Captain Ke, her steps staggering, her mind blank, she just followed them mechanically, not caring about the rain hitting her body and face...
"What shall we do with the comrades stationed at the station?"
When Lin Anan was stuffed into the car, the first thing she thought of were her comrades who had worked hard alongside her. Although they were quiet, they were all very nice people.
Captain Ke waited for Zhou Shengnan to get in the car, then started the car immediately, staring straight ahead, and drove up the mountain in a hurry. "I'll take you to the top of the mountain first, and then I'll go down to pick them up."
Bai Xiufang's face turned pale, "Brother Xiong, but..."
"Don't worry, I have a car, it's very quick to go back and forth."
Bai Xiufang pursed her lips tightly, unconsciously gripping Lin Anan's hand tightly, tears falling from her eyes.
Lin Anan felt the strength from Bai Xiufang's hand, and also noticed her fear and worry. She suppressed her inner panic and held Bai Xiufang's hand, but she couldn't say the words to comfort her.
The car was bumping along the rugged mountain road. The wind and rain outside were getting stronger and stronger. Raindrops as big as beans hit the car body, making crackling sounds.
Lin Anan looked out the car window at the world shrouded in darkness, wind and rain, and prayed silently in her heart, hoping that everyone stationed there would be safe, and that the people living at the foot of the mountain would escape the disaster.
The dam collapsed, which was a disaster comparable to a natural disaster. I don't know how many people died...
Soon, the car arrived at a relatively safe location on the top of the mountain.
After Captain Ke stopped the car, he looked around and finally found an abandoned wooden house on the front right. "There is a wooden house where hunters temporarily stay. You guys hide in it quickly! Wait for me here, don't run around, wait for me to pick everyone up!"
Lin Anan and Bai Xiufang nodded at the same time.
Zhou Shengnan looked at the two of them deeply and did not get out of the car. "Take care of yourselves. Captain Ke and I will go down together."
"But……"
Captain Ke smiled at them, started the car again, and plunged into the wind and rain.
Bai Xiufang trotted after the car for a few steps, crying, "Brother Xiong...you have to come back soon..."
Lin Anan held back her tears and pulled Bai Xiufang to her side, "Xiaofang, stop chasing us. We have to follow Captain Ke's instructions. Come on, let's go and hide from the rain first."
Bai Xiufang then stopped and let Lin Anan pull her towards the dilapidated wooden house.
The two were soaked, with rain dripping down their hair, and shivering with cold when the mountain breeze blew.
When I opened the door, the house was filled with a damp and moldy smell. It was drafty everywhere, the windows were nailed shut with several pieces of wood, and the roof was about 70% leaking.
But at this moment, this is their only refuge.
Lin Anan and Bai Xiufang found a relatively dry corner in the house and sat down, snuggling together, trying to keep warm with each other's body temperature.
It's August, but it's freezing cold...
The sounds of wind and rain outside, as well as the roar of the flood, intertwined together, as if it was the end of the world, making people terrified.
Time passed by minute by minute, and every second was filled with torment.
Lin Anan and Bai Xiufang looked down the mountain through the window bars from time to time, hoping to see the figures of Captain Ke and Zhou Shengnan.
Lin Anan tried to hold back her tears for a long time, but finally couldn't control her tears.
She thought of Chu Mingzhou. Every moment they had spent together flashed through her mind. She wondered where he was now...
"Sister-in-law! What's wrong with you? Sister-in-law, wake up, sister-in-law..."
Due to the high-intensity work and extreme fear, Lin Anan's body finally couldn't bear it and she fainted.
At this time, Captain Ke and Zhou Shengnan had already arrived at the station.
The location of the station is just on the right side of the flood impact point, which is quite dangerous!
I was lucky enough not to be defeated immediately.
The house was already in danger, and it was all thanks to the soldiers who rushed into the house regardless of the danger and quickly seized the machines and confidential documents.
"Quick, protect the machine first! And these files... and here..."
There were only two military vehicles, and both had to be used to carry important items.
Everyone was busy against the clock, sweat mixed with rain kept dripping down their faces.
While carrying heavy equipment, Captain Ke shouted loudly: "Everyone, hurry up, the water is rising too fast!"
Everyone responded in unison and worked together to move boxes of confidential documents and important equipment into the car.
Although the earth was shaking and the rain was freezing cold, making their movements slow and difficult, no one complained and no one backed down.
A young soldier accidentally slipped and fell into the water, and the documents in his hands almost fell into the water. He was so anxious that his eyes were red. "Platoon leader, I'm sorry, I..." Before he could finish his words, his comrade next to him pulled him up and took the documents. "Don't talk nonsense, load the car quickly!"
At this moment, a slender figure rushed into the station, "Lin Anan!"
Someone immediately became alert, raised his gun, and pointed it at the man's forehead, "Stop!"
An officer who came with Gu Yan hurriedly got out of the car and said, "It's me, Chen Hai. This is the military doctor from the northwest. We are one of them!"
Gu Yan looked around but did not see Lin Anan.
When Captain Ke heard the noise, he turned around with a suspicious look in his eyes, "Are we sent by the Northwest Military Region?"
Chen Hai wiped the rain off his face and replied loudly, "Yes, the Northwest Military Region is worried about Comrade Lin Anan's health, so they sent a military doctor here and said that her safety must be guaranteed."
Time was urgent, and everyone didn't have time to say anything. Captain Ke continued to work on the matter at hand, "I just sent her and Bai Xiufang to the wooden house on the top of the mountain for shelter. The situation here is critical. Help quickly. We must evacuate immediately!"
Things were worse than they had imagined. There were still many documents to be moved and the adobe house could no longer hold up.
Everyone had to give up.
"Let's go! Get everyone out first, there's nothing we can do about the remaining documents!"
Although everyone was unwilling, they also knew that the situation was urgent and could only rush out quickly.
Just as they were about to withdraw from the base, a loud noise was heard behind them, and the adobe houses collapsed, splashing mud and water.
Everyone's heart tightened!
Inside the wooden house on the top of the mountain.
Lin Anan frowned, her face flushed red, and she wouldn't wake up no matter how Bai Xiufang called her.
Bai Xiufang reached out and touched her forehead, which was burning hot. She immediately panicked, "She has a high fever! What should I do?"
She was extremely anxious and tried to find something to help cool Lin Anan down, but there was nothing in this dilapidated wooden house except a few broken wooden boards.
"Sister-in-law, hold on for now. Brother Xiong and the others will be back soon..."
Bai Xiufang sat down next to Lin Anan and hugged her tightly, trying to give her some warmth with her body, but she herself was soaked by the rain and shivering with cold.
"Lin Anan!"
