(Brain storage...)
The red flag with a star fluttered in the wind and rain.
The Mercedes SUV was driving in the countryside outside the base. The closer it got to the sea, the more water accumulated on the road.
The waves hit the car window and continued to deepen as they moved forward. The sea water gradually seeped in from the gap in the car door, wetting Huo Donglin's military boots.
The sea water rose so quickly that such storms are rare in winter.
Huo Donglin suddenly turned the car around and said, "The water level is too high. Let's go directly to Airport Zero and use a helicopter for rescue! Dali, contact the headquarters immediately to ask for more flood control sandbags."
"Captain, our current weather radar is accurate enough..."
Helicopter rescue relies on weather radar to determine a safe path. In this case, it is quite a test of the pilot's superb skills to support hovering in the air and vertical take-off and landing.
The slightest mistake would result in the plane crashing and everyone dying!
"Professor Meng has made great contributions to the country, which has touched the hearts of every scientific researcher."
Huo Donglin pursed his lips and reached out to touch the pocket on his chest, where there had always been a suicide note.
This time, he suddenly nodded.
-
The seaside laboratory was shrouded in terrible waves, and the glass made a dull sound.
"Teacher, will anyone come to save us?" She was so timid that her voice was already filled with tears.
"It will come. We have to sort out all the experimental data quickly. This batch of hard work will definitely be in vain."
Professor Meng's hand movements remained the same, and the tip of his pen remained steadily on the notebook.
Snap! Beads of sweat as big as beans dripped from his forehead onto the paper, soaking up the plum blossoms.
He avoided the wet places and continued writing.
The annual output of these seaweeds is huge. If artificial cultivation is successful, it will not only provide a few more kinds of nutritious food in the future, but also increase income for coastal people.
In any case, the experimental results must be preserved.
The students followed Professor Meng's lead and wrapped the precious experimental seedlings one by one with waterproof tarpaulins.
The greatness of mankind lies in the noble attitude of facing fear.
I don't know how much time has passed.
A buzzing sound suddenly sounded above the roof, and after a while, soldiers in dark green uniforms rushed in from the rooftop.
Cheers broke out in the laboratory.
Professor Meng carefully wrapped the notebook with oilcloth and then wrapped it with thick yellow tape, then stepped forward and held Huo Donglin's hand tightly, "Captain Huo, thank you for coming to rescue us."
"You're welcome. This is our duty."
After a brief greeting, Huo Donglin arranged for them to board the helicopter one by one.
Professor Meng insisted that the students go first and he himself went behind. Fortunately, they acted quickly and everyone climbed up safely.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew over and the cabin alarm sounded suddenly.
The emergency lights turned the water into an eerie blue-gray color.
"Walk!"
The moment the helicopter rotors cut through the rain, the yellowed notebook slipped from Professor Meng's fingers. Like a banana leaf torn apart by a typhoon, it disappeared in the chaos of the cargo hold door in the blink of an eye.
Professor Meng leaned forward and tried to grab it, with half of his body hanging on the cabin door. Fortunately, he was pulled back by Huo Donglin.
"The hard work of several generations and more than 20 years of data..."
"It's gone, all gone!"
The hoarse whine was crushed by the roar of the engine.
Huo Donglin had already unbuckled the safety buckle, with the lifeline around his waist, and rushed up to the roof with his long legs.
The salty sea breeze immediately filled the camouflage uniform.
Just as my fingertips touched the floating plastic cover of the notebook, a dark black mountain suddenly rose in the circle of searchlight light - that was a reef, a three-story high mad dog wave arching its back.
"Pull up! Go!" he yelled into the intercom.
Zhang Dali closed his eyes and suddenly drove the helicopter upwards.
At the last second, Huo Donglin stuffed the notebook into the waterproof bag, tied the waterproof bag tightly to his forearm with a tactical strap, and finally used his teeth to pull the inflation valve of the life jacket.
The moment the red airbag burst open, the dull sound of huge waves hitting the belly of the plane mixed with the groaning of twisted steel bars, and the whole world suddenly turned upside down.
The lifeline instantly turned into a murderous noose, and blood foam mixed with a salty smell surged in his throat, also arousing his last bit of strength.
Huo Donglin tried desperately to save himself and tried to reach the rope around his waist.
"What a bunch of idiots! Hurry up and pull Captain Huo up!" The co-pilot yelled in anger.
The others seemed to wake up from a dream, stretched out their hands to pull the rope, which was like floating in the strong wind trying to shake a tree.
It also caused the helicopter to circle back and forth in the sky.
Screams broke the sky.
At this moment, the crisp sound of the life rope breaking mixed in with the roar of the waves.
Huo Donglin fell like a kite with a broken string and was soon swallowed by the huge waves.
Bang! The tip of the knife hit the cabin floor.
The man sat down slumped over, looking like he had survived a disaster.
"You crazy bastard! Who the hell told you to cut the rope?"
Zhang Dali's eyes were red with anger. If he were to fly a plane now, he would definitely beat this idiot to death.
The student held his head in panic, "I, I know, there is nothing I can do, everyone will die. I am not wrong, I am not wrong!"
-
Dawn finally broke.
A new day finally arrived, and the violent storm subsided for a while.
Jiang Ningning looked at the two little ones in her arms who had fallen asleep without her knowing when, tucked in the corners of the quilt, and then quietly got up to cook.
After a night of tossing and turning, she had little strength left, so she made herself some egg tea and added two tablespoons of brown sugar.
After drinking the warm egg tea, my lips no longer looked so pale in the mirror.
At times like this, she felt very fortunate that Huo Donglin had chopped the firewood in advance, of varying thicknesses, and stacked it neatly in a corner, saving a lot of effort.
It took some practice to light the fire at first, and after trying a few more times, the fire finally ignited in the stove.
The weather is cold, so it's perfect to drink some hot chicken soup.
Last time I bought an old hen at the supply and marketing cooperative, chopped it in half, put the two legs and the wings in the pot together, and put two small balls in each of us, so that no one was left without one.
Next, I lit the coal stove to cook the bacon rice. The meat that had been air-dried last time had not yet been smoked with pine branches. But after being smoked on the stove for two days, it has a unique flavor.
Add a handful of peas and a few mushrooms and stew them together. It is nutritious and delicious.
Huo Donglin usually comes back for dinner. Considering the man's appetite, Jiang Ningning cut a few more slices of meat and stir-fried a pot of cabbage.
When the aroma of the bacon rice spread, the two dogs got up following the scent.
"Mom, what delicious food are you making? I want to eat two bowls!" Manman is small but has a big belly, and his appetite is like his father's.
Jiang Ningning poured hot water for the brother and sister, and without any instructions, the little ones automatically washed themselves clean.
The scent of jasmine in the towel is the smell of the soap my mother used.
Xia Xia sniffed her own hands quietly. They smelled fragrant, just like her mother's. The corners of her lips curved into dimples.
Just as I was about to add some firewood to Jiang Ningning, there was a knock on the door.
She stood on tiptoe to pick up the big cloak and stepped on her short legs to open the door.
"Grandpa Xue!"
The dimples became even sweeter, and kept swinging into Xue Lao's heart. Suddenly, it felt as if they were tightly grasped by an invisible hand.
Huo Donglin's child is so young, yet so well-behaved and cute...
