Chapter 516 The Situation is Serious
The meal was delicious. Everyone was squatting in the corner, standing in the aisle, or sitting on the sofa staring at the TV. Jing Nai made egg and scallion pancakes, each person got a big pancake, rolled with meat slices, scallions, and sausages. When they were thirsty, they drank the soy milk in the kettle. Jing Shu's was particularly rich, secretly adding meat floss, chicken fillets, fish fillets, and lettuce, and her mouth was full of oil.
But the others seemed to have forgotten the pancakes in their hands and were all looking at TV. Oh, only my second uncle was eating while watching TV absent-mindedly.
"Now the victims of Qingshui Town have been relocated to the neighboring Zhuhuo Town. Mud and water are flowing into Zhuhuo Town, already up to the ankles. No one knows whether the mud and water will submerge Zhuhuo Town as well... If the situation is really bad, the people of Zhuhuo Town will have to start fleeing to the neighboring villages.
Qingshui Town and Zhuhuo Town are organizing personnel to return to Qingshui Town to move out the remaining supplies that have not been submerged. They need to move out bedding, cotton clothes, and even daily necessities that can be moved. The subsequent rescue and resettlement of the victims will also be very troublesome."
"I'd like to remind everyone that this disaster has affected a wide area. Everyone must always be aware of their surroundings, pack their belongings in advance, and be prepared to flee at any time. Failure to do so could have serious consequences. Based on existing examples, the survival rate for those submerged in mud and water, even without timely rescue, is less than 0.1%! Below are some of the hardest-hit areas."
If Qingshui Town was lucky, then the next few places were miserable. The worst was a foreign city. Because it was located around a volcano, a large-scale mudslide broke out directly, just as fierce as the flood that year. Few people in the entire city escaped before they were swallowed up by the mudslide.
"This is worse than a flood!"
"If we were flooded, at least we could still swim and go back to carry supplies, but being submerged in this muddy water, wow, it's like being stuck in a swamp!"
The whole family looked unhappy. During this period, sticky mud and water kept coming out of the fields. Even the roads where my eldest and second aunts' families walked were covered with this muddy stuff... This showed that Wucheng was not spared.
Everyone's guess was soon confirmed. There were related reports in the Wucheng news, and even reports that Ningshan City, which was very close to Wucheng, began to gush out mud and water crazily, and the authorities had already begun preparing to evacuate the citizens of Ningshan City.
The scene jumped to Ningshan City, which Jingshu's family was familiar with. The mud and water above were flowing down like a waterfall. Those who were close to it had been submerged. The two districts of Ningshan City were also half submerged by mud and water. Now they were rushing to transfer supplies and daily necessities. Although Zhengfu dispatched trucks for rescue, it was a drop in the bucket after all. There were still countless people running with large and small bags in the cold weather. If they ran slower, the mudslide would catch up with them.
Everyone is familiar with Ningshan City. It is right next to Wucheng and Wuxian, and is even closer to Wuxian. Although it is not as prosperous as the provincial capital like Wucheng, it has a large population and was also a good provincial capital before the end of the world.
Such a big city has started to retreat, fleeing to a place where they don’t know where their home is, which makes Jingshu and her family feel even worse.
The eldest aunt said sadly, "When the flood hit, we envied Ningshan City. After all, the terrain there was higher and it was not flooded. I didn't expect that it would be the first disaster area now."
My uncle-in-law began to devour the pancakes ravenously. "No, we have to go back quickly. Wu County is closer to Ningshan City. They've been hit by the disaster there. Who knows, Wu County might be the next to be affected."
Master Jing frowned and pointed at his eldest and second uncles and said, "Don't eat yet. Take the flashlight and go to the back mountain to take a look. Then go outside to ask about the situation."
Without even bothering to eat, the eldest uncle quickly got up, put on his cotton coat, leather hat, and thick shoes; the second uncle was a little reluctant to leave, and before leaving, he said, "Don't take it away from me, I'll come back to eat it. Save some soy milk and put some sugar in it for me."
"Hurry up!"
Jing Ye glared. It's already this late, and all he knows is eating! He even put sugar in it. How precious is sugar?
He turned his head and looked at Li Yun who was eating hard and snorted, "It's not presentable."
Finally, his eyes fell on Jingshu, who was playing with her phone while eating voraciously, and his eyes softened. "Grandma, make a few more pancakes. Your granddaughter doesn't have enough to eat. She has worked hard these days." Why do you look a little thinner? Oh, this is because of insufficient nutritional supplements.
Yes, it's all his fault for having to live frugally these days. The kid has become thin and hungry. The kid is also very stupid. He got the food by himself. Can't he secretly add some food to his meal?
The atmosphere in the house was quite tense. Jing's mother and father had already gone to work, and Third Aunt had also gone to the cafeteria. Even the usually calm Wu Youai was typing away on her cell phone.
Only Jingshu was not affected at all, and was even a little busy: all the factory affairs were handed over to her uncle, and she didn't have to worry about things like employee benefits and New Year's red envelopes. However, because she recently exchanged some power over the garbage station in Wucheng from Tank, she was dealing with some interaction issues between the two parties.
The expansion of red nematodes has begun to exceed our capacity, and the biggest problem now is the lack of fuel processing.
The garbage station has easy access to both personnel and equipment, but the bigger problem is the lack of food for employees and the ability to be self-sufficient.
The two sides hit it off immediately. The red nematode factory provided some worm cakes, and the garbage station provided fuel, so that Jingshu could save more fuel.
After a while, my eldest uncle Wei Chang and my second uncle Li Zhu came back to life. My second uncle was so cold that he was jumping up and down and breathing heavily. He felt better after drinking a large bowl of soy milk, but his face turned pale.
My uncle reported the situation: "It's over, it's over. There is muddy water flowing on the back mountain. It's just like what you see on TV. As soon as we got to the foot of the mountain, the mud kept flowing over. Although the flow rate is not fast and very slow, but..." Who knows if it will be the same as in Ningshan City.
Thinking of this, Wei Chang became even more anxious.
When Jing Nai heard this, she was so anxious that tears were about to fall: "If this gets flooded, where can we go? Are we going to be forced to leave our homes and move somewhere else like they do on TV? We're not afraid of being flooded, but if it gets flooded by mud and water, the house will be destroyed!"
Wu Youai stood up and said, "Grandma, it's not us who should be worried now, but my aunt and second aunt. Their families are in Wu County, which is closer to the disaster-stricken Ningshan City. Ningshan City is on higher ground, and the mud and water will flow down faster. If Ningshan City is flooded, then Wu County will not be far behind. At that time, our Wu City may suffer."
"So according to what you said, we will be flooded sooner or later." Jing Ye was smoking a pipe without lighting it because he didn't have much tobacco left.
Seeing the family so worried, Jingshu had to stand up. Didn't she think that the big tombstone she had painstakingly erected behind the villa over the years was all in vain?
