Xiao Yi gazed at the prosperous scene of the base, and his belief became stronger. He clearly realized that the current achievements were just a starting point, and the road ahead was still long and full of challenges.
He recalled the moment the apocalypse struck, when chaos, fear, and despair enveloped the world. But in this land, rather than being crushed by the disaster, they chose to rise up and resist. From their initial struggle for survival to their current flourishing, every step has been filled with hardship.
However, he knew that there might be sudden outbreaks of disease, resource shortages, and external threats and conflicts in the future. But at this moment, he had no fear at all.
Because he saw the tenacity and courage of every person in the base. The farmers who toiled in the fields, their hands, though rough, held boundless power, capable of creating miracles of bountiful harvests; the workers who toiled in the factories, their wisdom and sweat forged the material foundation of the base, enabling it to meet the challenges of various material needs; and the brave and fearless soldiers, ever vigilant, safeguarded the peace of the base with their strong will and superb skills.
He also witnessed the team's cohesion and collaborative spirit. When faced with difficulties, everyone always worked together to find solutions. Every crisis became an opportunity for growth, making them stronger and more united.
Xiao Yi believed that as long as they maintained this faith and unity, constantly improved their abilities, and accumulated experience, no matter what storms the end of the world brought, they would be able to overcome them with their firm confidence and strong strength. They would build a true paradise on these ruins, a future full of hope and brightness.
While the base was undergoing prosperous construction, a patrol team discovered an abnormal rise in water levels on the distant river bank.
That day, the sun still shone brightly on the earth, and the patrol team conducted their usual routine inspection along the riverbank. While vigilantly observing the surrounding situation, the team members chatted casually about the latest changes in the base.
When they reached a familiar stretch of riverbank, the captain suddenly frowned and stopped. The others followed his gaze and saw that the previously calm river was now turbulent, with the water level significantly higher than usual.
"Something's wrong! The water's rising too fast!" the captain's voice was serious and tense. The team members approached the riverbank and observed carefully. The water was turbid and turbulent, constantly lapping against the bank. Some rocks that had been at the water's edge were already half submerged.
"Report this immediately!" the captain ordered decisively. One of the team members quickly pulled out their communication equipment and reported the emergency to the base.
Everyone's mood suddenly became heavy, and a tense atmosphere filled the air. They knew that the abnormal rise in water levels might mean the threat of an impending flood, which would be a huge challenge for the thriving base.
The captain walked further along the riverbank, trying to find the cause of the rising water level. He found that the water flow upstream had become significantly more turbulent, and some branches and debris were quickly washed down.
"Everyone, spread out and keep a close eye on the water level to see if there's any danger of a dam breach!" the captain's voice echoed along the riverbank. The team members sprang into action, their eyes filled with worry, but even more so, with determination and a sense of responsibility.
At this point, upon receiving the news, the base immediately took action and began preparing for the possible flood disaster. The patrol team remained stationed on the river bank, ready to provide first-hand intelligence and early warning for the safety of the base.
The news quickly reached Xiao Yi's ears, and his face instantly became solemn.
At that time, Xiao Yi was in the office discussing the future development plan of the base with several persons in charge. The atmosphere was warm and full of hope. Suddenly, a rapid knock on the door broke the harmony in the room.
"Come in!" Xiao Yi's voice was steady and powerful.
A communicator hurried in, looking anxious. Without even taking a breath, he reported loudly, "Captain Xiao Yi, the patrol has urgent news. The water level on the distant riverbank has risen abnormally!"
Xiao Yi's smiling face froze instantly, and his gentle eyes suddenly became sharp and solemn. His brows were tightly furrowed, forming a deep ravine that seemed to be able to kill a fly.
He was silent for a moment, as if he was quickly thinking about the possible consequences of this sudden situation. The other people in the office also fell silent and looked at Xiao Yi nervously.
Then, he slowly stood up, his hands on the table, his knuckles slightly white from exertion. His lips were tightly pressed into a firm line, and the muscles on his face were tense, revealing the heaviness of his heart.
"How serious is the situation?" Xiao Yi's voice was low and serious, with an unquestionable majesty.
The communicator swallowed hard, tried to calm himself, and replied: "It's not clear yet, but the patrol said the water level is rising very quickly."
Xiao Yi took a deep breath and swept his eyes over everyone present. His eyes were filled with worry and determination. He knew that this was an upcoming severe test, and he had to lead everyone to deal with it together.
"Immediately activate the emergency plan and notify everyone to prepare for flood control!" Xiao Yi ordered loudly.
His voice, resounding like a bell, echoed throughout the room, carrying an undeniable sense of authority and urgency. His eyes were wide open, a blazing fire burning in them, a reminder of his vigilance against the unknown danger and his unwavering determination to fight the flood.
