Chapter 42: There is only one Jiangcheng
"Mee!"
The porpoise looked up and responded.
The small animals on the shore also started to take action one after another.
Soon, each of the huge sparrows carried a small animal on its back.
The remaining small animals that were not afraid of water also jumped onto the big turtle, finless porpoise, and water snake.
The vast group of animal superpowers, led by Xu Xinxin and the Yangtze finless porpoise, swam towards the dam together.
…
…
In a tent near the dam.
When the mayor received the latest news, the veins on his forehead couldn't help but twitch.
"What did you say? The superpowers transferred from the capital will be delayed by another day?!"
If it’s one day later, Jiangcheng will really become “Jiangcheng”. What are you coming here for? To collect corpses?
Once the dam really broke, even if she moved all the people in Jiangcheng to high-rise buildings, most of Jiangcheng’s supplies would be destroyed.
A large number of mutated creatures will also be washed to Jiangcheng with the water flow.
By then, everyone was short of food and clothing, plus there were attacks from mutant creatures and diseases...
Many people will die in Jiangcheng while waiting for rescue.
Moreover, even if rescue came, the Jiangcheng City that they had worked hard to build for three years, as well as the defense line outside Jiangcheng, were all destroyed.
At that time, they will need to repel the mutated creatures in the city again and spend a lot of manpower and resources to rebuild the defense line.
Then all those who sacrificed for Jiangcheng in the past died in vain.
The mutant beasts are now more ferocious. If things go wrong, more people will die.
The mayor took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
"…I heard that a dam upstream was broken, and they are mobilizing special abilities to repair it urgently, so…"
The secretary was still talking about the news he had heard, but his voice became lower and lower, and he couldn't help but lower his head.
"However, I heard that they are also trying to find a solution. Maybe they can transfer a few people over to provide support in advance," he said.
After hearing what he said, the mayor gradually became quiet.
There was no trace of anger on her face. She just looked so expressionless, which was scary to look at.
The secretary waited for a while, but didn't hear her speak. He looked up at her and his face turned surprised.
The last time the mayor showed such an expression was when the disaster just started.
At that time, the mayor was just an ordinary clerk who had just awakened his special powers and led everyone to resist the mutant beasts.
Jiangcheng was about to fall at that time. It was at this time that the mayor planned to sacrifice herself and stimulate the "source of superpowers" in her body to kill the mutant beasts and buy time for everyone.
If the reinforcements had not arrived in time, the mayor would have died.
The secretary looked at the mayor's expression and was a little scared. "Mayor, we are not at the end yet, you..."
"You don't have to say anything more. Go and do your work. I'll go to the dam to take a look." The mayor waved at him, then picked out his favorite red jacket and put it on, and was about to leave.
I heard that this red jacket was given to her by a friend before she sacrificed herself for Jiang Cheng. She usually doesn't want to wear this bright red jacket and only wears it when attending important events.
The secretary looked at her fiery red back and became even more panicked. He grabbed her and said, "Mayor, Jiangcheng can't live without you."
The mayor was stopped by him and looked at him steadily: "You know me. In fact, I am not a good leader or manager, but... I can't watch Jiangcheng being destroyed."
"If you can save Jiang Cheng by exchanging me, it will be worth it."
After all, if that person had not sacrificed his life in exchange, not only would she not have survived, but thousands of people in Jiangcheng would have died as well.
If he hadn't died, he would probably have become the mayor.
He is that kind of person, and so is she.
"Many people can be the mayor of Jiangcheng, but there is only one mayor in Jiangcheng!"
The mayor said this as he turned his back to his secretary and walked towards the dam.
The secretary looked at her back, feeling a myriad of emotions in his heart, which finally turned into a long sigh.
He immediately lowered his head to assign the tasks at hand, and quickly walked towards the dam...
On the dam.
As the river water from upstream converged, the flow became faster and faster, occasionally hitting the dam, making people feel that the ground was shaking.
“Ding ding ding… All residents please take precautions…”
The constant warning broadcasts on the roadside and the increasingly rapid sound of the river finally made ordinary people on the dam feel that something was wrong.
"Could it be that the dam will really collapse this time?" someone asked uncertainly.
With a "pop", another huge splash of water hit the dam, causing the dam to shake again.
"No way..." right?
Everyone began to feel uncertain.
"Look, the ice wall in area 33 is melting!" At this time, someone suddenly shouted, "Hurry, the ice here is melting, come and help!"
The psychic used an ice wall to block the crack, but it was only temporary and something else would be needed to fill it later.
The ice wall that started to form last night is now gradually melting.
"But the dirt bag is gone."
"Then go move the rice. Didn't we transport the rice here?"
"We just finished moving the rice."
"What should I do..."
Everyone looked at the thin layer of ice wall left and became helpless.
"grandmother……"
A little girl, sensing a bad atmosphere, was so frightened that she hid in her grandmother's arms and dared not look up at the dam.
The others also had heavy expressions.
There were even some timid ones who couldn't help but whisper, "How about we notify everyone to run quickly?"
No one paid any attention to him, but everyone looked at the dam with panic in their eyes.
This time, the dam might really collapse.
Jiangcheng is really finished.
"It's not the end yet, don't give up. If there's nothing left, we still have trucks. We can use them to back up the holes!"
This sentence reminded everyone, and everyone went to look at the cars parked at intervals on the dam.
These cars were left over from before the disaster. Some were official, some were private. They were all temporarily used as "street lights" last night.
"My car is nearby, I'll go drive it!"
Someone shouted and immediately took the keys and ran to drive.
On this side, the ice wall next to the crack is about to melt, and the same is true on the other side.
There was already someone over there who reacted quickly. He had driven a car over, switched it to "slow speed reverse" mode, and the person got out of the car.
With a "click", the crack was completely split open under the impact of the water flow again, and the gap quickly expanded.
At this moment, the car that was reversing slowly fell into the crack.
The water flow that continued to hit the crack was blocked by the car, but it still did not stop completely. The gap, which was originally just a small opening, quickly expanded.
"Not enough, one car is not enough, hurry up and get another one!" someone shouted.
But now it's too late.
With a "pop", under the impact of another wave, the crack became bigger and bigger, and finally, the dam was about to break completely.
