Chapter 42 I'm Not a Bad Person



The land battle is about to begin and time is running out.

Shao Jingque couldn't think of a way to make him believe her, nor did she have any reason for him not to participate in the disaster relief activities. In desperation, she could only try hard to recall all the details mentioned by her teacher in college when he talked about this rare natural disaster.

She remembered her teacher once saying that after this natural disaster, domestic experts conducted deep reflection and found that in this seemingly unavoidable natural disaster, there were actually many areas that needed to be improved in their coping measures and response mechanisms.

She racked her brains and tried hard to recall, even if she remembered a little more, maybe she could save Lu Zhan and many other people's precious lives.

"I remembered that in my dream, the first two reservoirs to collapse were the largest in the area. When the water first started to flood, the staff at the reservoirs wanted to call the management department, but they found that the phone lines were no longer connected."

"They persisted for another two days, trying every possible way to drain the water, but to no avail. Two days later, they finally found the local garrison and used military communication equipment to send two urgent telegrams to higher authorities, requesting that they blast the spillway to release water and save the dam. But for some unknown reason, the higher authorities never received the report."

"At the most critical moment, the local garrison fired flares to alert people downstream to take shelter, but because there was no prior agreement, no one paid attention. Everyone downstream experienced such a flood disaster without any preparation."

"Lu Zhan, this dream is so real, I'm really scared. Promise me, if you absolutely must go, when you get there, you must first confirm how many days the heavy rain has been going on and whether the rainfall is much heavier than ever before. If it's been more than three days, you must find a way to contact the largest local reservoir. If you can't get through, it means there's definitely a problem!"

"I know what I'm saying is ridiculous, but it's better to believe it than not. You must call to confirm. There's also the signal flare. That's your last chance to escape!"

Lu Zhan's face was solemn, his eyes trembled slightly, and his eyes, as sharp as an eagle, looked at Shao Jingque's eyes very seriously. He saw fear, anxiety, eagerness, worry, compassion in her eyes... This made him feel inexplicably heavy and deeply confused.

No matter how real a dream is, it can't be so scary.

The dream that Shao Jingque described was too detailed, with too many details that she shouldn't have been exposed to, such as military communication equipment, spillways, flares... None of them should have come out of Shao Jingque's mouth.

Could it be that what she said was not a dream at all, but information she had learned in advance from other channels?

Lu Zhan's heart sank to the bottom. If that was true, the news she said that was not delivered in time might very well be hinting that there were enemy spies involved, and their purpose was to fake an irresistible natural disaster to destroy the safety of the country and the lives and property of the people!

If it is really as he guessed, then what is the identity of Shao Jingque who got the news in advance and reminded him in the name of a dream?

Lu Zhan really hoped that he was overthinking it and that this was just a nightmare that Shao Jingque had, but his years of military career had made him alert to the core, and once this idea arose, it took root in his heart.

His jaw was tense, his lips were pursed, and he looked at Shao Jingque, who had an anxious look on his face, with complicated eyes. Finally, he nodded without asking any more questions.

"Okay, I'll remember that."

Regardless of whether it was a dream or not, since Shao Jingque has said so, he will definitely be more cautious than before when he arrives at the disaster relief site, and will report any problems immediately if he finds any.

Seeing that Lu Zhan was about to turn around and leave, Shao Jingque suddenly felt an impulse in his heart and took a step forward to hug Lu Zhan.

She clearly felt that the moment she hugged him, Lu Zhan's whole body became as hard as steel, but she just wanted to hug him regardless of anything, as if only this could fill the sudden feeling of emptiness in her heart.

At this moment, unlike her previous momentary infatuation, she was particularly clear-headed and confirmed that she did have different feelings for Lu Zhan.

Shao Jingque put her face against his back, and heard his strong heartbeat through his military uniform, and her heart seemed to be at peace.

"You must come back safely!"

Hearing the slight tremor in her voice, Lu Zhan's heart ached.

He turned around, held her tightly in his arms, and placed a very light kiss on her forehead:

"Sure, wait for me."

......

Lu Zhan left.

Shao Jingque unexpectedly discovered that she cared about Lu Zhan much more than she had imagined.

But she didn't have much time to lean against the window and feel sad or worried about the future, because she still had a difficult problem to solve.

Yue Feiying informed her of the news in the form of a wedding invitation, and it was obvious that he was already overwhelmed.

Lu Zhan rushed to the disaster area to carry out rescue and relief work, and she didn't have time to ask him for help.

Since her only two connections since she traveled to the 1970s were of no help, Shao Jingque had no choice but to try her luck at a photo studio.

There are only two photo studios in Ning City, both located on the most prosperous commercial street.

The largest one was a state-owned photo studio, occupying the best storefront on the commercial street. A price tag clearly stated on the glass window outside the door read one dollar per photo, with pickup time of seven days and express pickup time of three days.

Shao Jingque went in to ask, and the salesperson who had been smiling and greeting her just now immediately changed his expression when he heard that she was there to borrow a camera, and kicked her out without saying a word.

I didn't expect that this pretty girl was actually a lunatic. Can you just borrow a camera?!

Shao Jingque had no choice but to try his luck at another private photo studio on the corner of the street.

Compared to the bustling state-owned photo studio, the business of this private photo studio was obviously much slower. When Shao Jingque entered, the owner was the only one sitting behind the counter in a daze, and he didn't even notice someone coming in.

Shao Jingque knocked lightly on the glass cabinet and said politely:

"Hello, boss, can I bother you for a moment?"

The owner of the private photo studio was a young man. He was lost in thought for some moment and was quite frightened when she knocked on the glass.

When the person turned around and saw Shao Jingque, he was so shocked that he jumped up from the stool. He stared at Shao Jingque for at least five seconds before pointing at her excitedly and shouting:

"You...you! It's you!"

Shao Jingque was stunned. He felt that this boss was acting weird and subconsciously wanted to back out. He hoped that he would not meet some weirdo again!

When the young boss saw her about to leave, he quickly ran out from behind the container and stood in front of her, dancing with excitement:

"Comrade, wait, don't be afraid, I'm not a bad person!"
