Chen Zhongzheng still hadn't gotten what he needed to know, and his expression grew even more serious.
"Continue to send people to explore! We must make sure the situation on the alluvial plain is resolved!"
Then several more orders were issued, and Chen Zhongzheng felt a wave of soreness all over his body, but there was no time to rest.
It wasn't until the assistant came over and reminded him again.
"Commander Chen, the leaders of the various fortresses and their senior management staff have been here for half an hour! Do you think we should go over there?"
Chen Zhongzheng nodded: "Alright! I'll be right there!"
After finishing speaking, Chen Zhongzheng quickly tidied up his documents and then followed his assistant to the temporary conference room.
The conference room was crowded with people, each sitting in their seat, looking somewhat uneasy.
They've been here for over half an hour, and the meeting that was originally scheduled has been delayed again and again. Now they're starting to feel like their patience is wearing thin.
But there was nothing they could do. After all, the water had already reached the fortress, and if they didn't find a way to solve the problem soon, the fortress might be destroyed.
Guo Jialiang sat in his seat, his face gloomy.
The thing he was worried about didn't happen. He had thought he would have to use this to blackmail Chen Zhongzheng into giving them food.
However, it now seems that Chen Zhongzheng does not intend to hide the communication interruption. He told them about it directly and provided sufficient evidence to prove that the satellite was not destroyed intentionally by them.
"Alright, since everyone is here, it means you are very concerned about this matter. I have already read the reports you just brought up."
We also sent someone to investigate, and the main reason for this flooding was that the superstorm brought too much sand and dust, and the water volume was very abundant.
"Our terrain here is pretty good. We had already rebuilt the road downstream, but the superstorm destroyed the ground, creating an alluvial fan plain downstream. So now our problem is how to deal with this alluvial fan plain!"
After hearing this, everyone's faces showed a solemn expression, because this matter concerned the life and death of all the fortresses, and they could not afford to be careless.
"Commander Chen, if you have any new developments, please tell us as soon as possible. Don't keep anything from us. We're like headless flies right now, we can't get any information at all!"
"Yes, Commander Chen, what do you think we should do? As long as you say so, we'll all work together to get through this difficult time. It's not about independence anymore. As long as we can divert these floods, that will be the greatest comfort!"
"Commander Chen, how big is this alluvial fan plain? How many people do we need to send there? Can we rest easy after we've dealt with it all at once, or do we need to clear the alluvial plain regularly?"
"..."
After listening to Chen Zhongzheng's words, the crowd stood up one by one and began to ask questions. Chen Zhongzheng nodded quietly and answered their questions one by one.
"Don't worry, everyone. We've already sent our team to investigate this matter. This is the fifth wave of investigators we've dispatched. Please be patient and wait for the fifth wave of investigators to return before we decide how to handle this alluvial fan plain!"
After hearing this, everyone felt helpless and could only sit there quietly waiting for the expert group to bring the investigation report.
Because communication has not been restored, the waiting time has been extended.
After waiting for several hours, the atmosphere at the scene became even more tense.
At this moment, Guo Jialiang, who was sitting in the crowd, couldn't hold back any longer. He suddenly stood up while everyone was pausing.
"Greetings, officers of the fort! I am Guo Jialiang! I have a question I would like to ask Commander Chen for help with! I wonder if that is possible?"
Guo Jialiang suddenly stood up and asked a question, which immediately drew everyone's attention to him.
Chen Zhongzheng was also somewhat surprised. He looked up at Guo Jialiang and asked, "Is there something you need?"
"Yes. There is something very important to us, almost a matter of life and death, which is that the land we acquired before was basically the most barren place."
The area where the fortress's roof was torn off has been repaired, but the heavy rains still destroyed a lot of food, making our food supply even more precarious.
Moreover, a large portion of the grain silos inside were damaged by the superstorm, and now we are facing a food crisis.
There's another reason I'm here at this meeting. I'd really like to ask for everyone's help; I, Guo Jialiang, would be extremely grateful!
As soon as Guo Jialiang finished speaking, another uproar erupted at the scene.
Everyone started whispering among themselves, their faces showing a helpless expression.
"Sigh, they want food, but do we still want food? This amount of food is far from enough for us!"
"That's right. Although the amount of grain distributed among the farmers is still quite large, it's a bit insufficient when it's divided among everyone. Moreover, the super storm has made it impossible to plant crops normally in the city's fields!"
"That's not all! The humidity in the air is having a huge impact on plants right now. The planted crops are suffering from widespread root and leaf rot. Where are we going to get any extra crops to support them?"
