Boom! Boom!
Several more claps of thunder roared, the sky was dark and the lightning was blinding.
"Report: A landslide has occurred two kilometers east of the county seat, burying more than a dozen households. Requesting reinforcements--"
"Report: Village XX is severely flooded, and the river is blocked. Requesting reinforcements."
"Report, XX--"
…
The non-Miao people held their breath.
Throughout the world, there were countless requests for help from all directions.
"What kind of calamity is this, God? It's still raining!!!"
If shouting were effective, non-Miao people would probably shout themselves hoarse.
At this moment, the command post had received urgent messages from all directions, and Achen and Amo made arrangements immediately.
Less than twenty minutes --
The 30,000 Miao people, both Qingmiao and Heimiao, who had already arrived, received the order.
The Black Miao entered the county town to rescue the trapped elderly and weak, while the Green Miao searched for survivors in nearby villages.
In addition, Qingmiao was also responsible for rescuing the thousand non-Miao people on that "isolated island".
The dike broke, and floodwaters poured into the low-lying areas of the county town. The Miao army fought hard to stop the flood.
This flood is even more severe than the ones from a few days ago; it seems that a levee breach occurred somewhere upstream.
Three thousand Miao soldiers fought bravely, carrying loads of sand and gravel across the land.
Mu Achen had arrived at the dike in the middle of the county town. Although the breach in the dike was not large, it still took the Miao army several hours to plug it.
This is neither the location where the Miao army fortified their position, nor is it the No. 2 River.
However, the situation was urgent, so we had to call in Miao Jun.
In the low-lying areas of the county town, the first floors of many houses were almost submerged. After getting the inflatable boat, Hei Miao put on a life jacket and immediately set off.
The rescue team included Shi Xiang and his colleagues from the Public Security Bureau, but they were few in number. Including those in the county town, they only rescued two or three hundred people.
Moreover, they had no equipment and relied entirely on rafts, but the current was strong and there was a risk of capsizing at any moment.
The important thing is that there are no life jackets.
Unlike the thousand members of the Black Miao branch of the Miao people who arrived, everyone was wearing a life jacket, and kayaks came one after another.
At this moment, the Miao people wearing life jackets are like the rising sun, giving the people in the disaster area a ray of light.
"Quick! There are people here, quick—"
As soon as the Black Miao man shouted, the Miao people nearby immediately rowed over in their kayaks.
The water here has already reached the roof, and several people are shivering and lying on the roof.
"I have people here too."
"I have several children here too. Come quickly, the water is going to drown them."
"Black Wind Stronghold, come with me to the school over there!"
"Those from Heiwu Village, this way--"
…
As the rain intensified, the rescue efforts became increasingly tense.
Because the water level is rising!
Many people who had already been moved to higher ground watched this scene unfold.
The once bustling county town is now almost a "vast ocean." The water is extremely murky, with trees and debris floating on the surface, severely hindering the Miao people's rescue efforts.
However, the most eye-catching were the thousands of Miao people who went to the rescue wearing life jackets.
The voices emanating from the small megaphones held by the Miao people were so heartwarming.
In visible locations, people also saw Miao people leading stranded people onto inflatable boats, taking off their own life jackets to put on them, and then leading them out of the disaster area.
On the edge of the flooded area, another group of Black Miao men stood guard to provide support. As each trapped person was rescued, they were immediately carried or helped to one side.
Then, the Miao women, girls, and doctors of the Zi Miao immediately conducted an examination and made arrangements based on the extent of the injury.
As for the pregnant woman, she was carried away.
The Miao men simply carried the elderly away.
At this moment, this scene was witnessed by countless non-Miao people.
"Natural disasters are merciless, but eastern Guizhou is full of love!"
"Honey, you take good care of Mom and Dad, I'm going to help them."
"Can't you speak properly? What do you mean by helping them? They're the ones helping us! Go now—"
"Mom and Dad, I'm going."
"Sons, hurry! Go and lend a hand to our benefactor." The old man's voice was hoarse.
…
"Look, what's that?"
Dozens of kayaks rowed over from the flooded county.
On each kayak were several children, riding on the backs of the Miao men. But before they even got very close, they heard someone shouting through a small megaphone:
"Purple Miao, Miao doctors, there are many injured!"
"Miao men, prepare more frames, there are elderly people here."
…
In the county town, touching scenes were unfolding one after another.
Fortunately, Xu County managed to evacuate most of the people in time; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
Meanwhile, on the so-called "isolated island," the young men and women of Qingmiao bravely carried out the rescue.
The river was too swift for them to cross, but they came up with a solution.
They made those old-fashioned arrows, tied thinner ropes to them, and launched them to the "isolated island," where the able-bodied men would pull on thicker ropes to secure them to a large tree.
Afterwards, hundreds of young men braved the torrential rain and climbed over the ropes bit by bit.
"ah!!!"
"Be careful, hold on tight, don't fall into the river and get swept away."
"Hurry up, you guys on the other side."
"Don't make noise, it's too far away, they can't hear you over there."
The flooded river, hundreds of meters wide, was incredibly turbulent under the torrential rain.
Here, countless people shouted as they saw the Miao men about to fall into the river, their muscles tensing as they did so.
In such a situation, who wouldn't be afraid?
Once you fall into the river, you will be swept away, with absolutely no chance of survival.
During this period, Qingmiao has been working on this kind of thing; otherwise, it wouldn't have taken so long to be revealed.
