"If you spend more than 200,000 yuan to buy a domestic car, besides the brand, the money spent is more on the car itself." Captain Xing was driving and politely praised Bai Song's car.
This is a good habit. If you borrow something from someone, you should always say yes.
"Not bad. I didn't let you down after playing in the desert." Bai Song watched the car pushing the water forward: "At this speed, it will take us an hour to get there."
"No hurry." Captain Zhuang said calmly, "The rain will continue until tomorrow afternoon, and there will be a lot of things to do... Bai Song, do you have any bread or anything in your car?"
"Bread?" Bai Song thought for a moment and said, "Well... there is ** bread."
"Forget it, I'll leave it for you to drink slowly." Team Leader Zhuang leaned back in his chair and said, "Look at the WeChat group. Call me if there's anything important. I'll take a nap."
It was raining heavily outside. The car kept breaking through the rain curtain and moving forward. There was a rhythmic and continuous sound of raindrops hitting the roof and the hood. Captain Zhuang said he fell asleep.
After chatting with Captain Xing for a while, Bai Song learned that the Zhuang Detachment had been busy since noon today and had not had time to eat dinner. To be exact, someone from the detachment had prepared food for the Zhuang Detachment, but he had no appetite. Now that he was in the car and had calmed down, he realized that he was hungry, but there was nothing to eat.
"Captain Xing, check to see if there are any stores open...well, McDonald's, KFC or something like that. Stop for a moment, I'm going to buy something to eat." Bai Song said.
"Okay." Captain Xing nodded, and looked at Captain Zhuang who was sleeping soundly in the rearview mirror, and sighed: "It will be fine when he goes to work for General Jin. His rank hasn't changed, but he will be a big leader, and it will be much more comfortable than here."
"Yes." Bai Song said, "Let's not rush. Let's drive slowly."
…
The longer he worked, the more Bai Song understood why the old police could remain calm when faced with problems. One reason was that they had seen a lot, and the other was that the calmer they were, the more comprehensive they were.
There is a long section of expressway in the middle, which is an elevated highway. It is easy to drive on, but it becomes troublesome after getting off the elevated highway because there is a traffic jam in one place.
After getting off the viaduct, there was a place where the water accumulated more than 20 centimeters. Some cars stopped and did not dare to go down, while others tried to go down but ended up breaking down. The entire road was completely blocked.
The traffic police have arrived, but there is nothing they can do.
This expressway has four lanes. If the cars are driving at a low speed and if the lane lines are not taken into consideration, six cars can run side by side without any problem. But now it is completely paralyzed.
There is only one way, which is to seal the rear entrance first, and the cars that do not want to go down will move back and park on both sides of the viaduct. This will allow the forklift at the rear to come over and bring the stalled car in front onto the bridge.
Faced with such a heavy rain, no one could do anything. Even an ambulance was stuck here.
It is impossible to direct traffic. Traffic police have to lie on the windows of each car and ask the drivers to open their windows a little so that they can communicate with each other. Signal lights and loud speakers are useless.
People who are used to city life become very bad at this moment. Without any organization, dozens of cars can block the traffic here, not to mention hundreds of cars.
Two traffic policemen were swaying in the wind and rain. The strong wind blew their raincoats and their reflective vests fell to somewhere.
If the traffic police’s motorcycle lights hadn’t been still on, Bai Song wouldn’t have known the traffic police were coming.
Today, it is not only a test for the criminal police, the pressure on the traffic police department is greater than the sky.
In order to prevent a shortage of manpower, the traffic police team activated the emergency plan this morning. All police officers are not allowed to leave the unit or ask for leave today, and all are required to remain on duty and not take any rest.
But even so, it is far from enough. The place where everyone is stuck now is in Jiuhe District.
I am quite familiar with Baisong in Jiuhe District, where there are hundreds of roads of various sizes, thousands of intersections, and two to three hundred traffic police.
Those who have not experienced major urban flooding cannot understand the horror of such a disaster.
Even the brightest light is not enough in this situation. Many people do not understand how powerful the sun is. Generally speaking, a 100-watt bulb is enough for a large living room, but the radiation power of the sun in an area of 20 to 30 square meters exceeds 10,000 watts!
Only during the day, the sun can provide some visibility even if it shines through the clouds and the sky is dark. At night, the light is almost zero.
"Captain Xing, you and Captain Zhuang stay in the car. The three of us will go down to direct the traffic." After Bai Song finished speaking, he got out of the car.
"Bring an umbrella..." Captain Xing's words were drowned out by the heavy rain.
Captain Zhuang was awakened by the sound of the door opening. He asked about the situation and wanted to go down as well. Captain Xing grabbed Captain Zhuang and said, "Don't... I'm not nice to hear. At your age, don't show off with the young guys and go down to cause trouble. How about you come and drive the car and I'll go down."
"I won't make trouble." Captain Zhuang nodded. "You are over 40, call the Tiandong Branch later and ask them to make some dumpling soup or something."
"good."
…
As soon as Bai Song and the others went down, they felt soaked all over instantly.
There were a lot of cars honking their horns in a very obnoxious way.
Bai Song found the traffic police directly and immediately revealed his identity.
"Hello, leader!" The traffic police looked at Bai Song's police officer ID and immediately saluted.
"Who is in charge here? Is there a traffic heat map so I can see it?" Bai Song asked loudly.
"No! Our leader asked us to come here to prevent any accidents! But in several other places, cars got stuck, and there were car accidents in many other places. This is the only thing we can do here now!" the traffic police explained loudly.
During a disaster like this, it doesn’t matter whether the traffic is accessible or not. As long as no one dies or anything goes wrong, that’s enough.
"I just checked the heat map!" Bai Song looked at the navigation on his phone in the car. "There are no problems ahead, but this place is blocked! We need to go to Tiandong District to carry out a mission. Besides, there is an ambulance stuck on the bridge! It's okay if we go half an hour later, but the ambulance can't! This expressway is the main artery. If it is completely blocked, it will cause even bigger problems!"
The traffic policeman looked disappointed, but it was hard to tell in the heavy rain: "Boss, there's nothing we can do! I've even mobilized the forklift! It can't get through!"
Due to the continuous heavy rain, the traffic volume is actually very small. There is nothing particularly urgent, and everyone tries not to go out if possible. So there are not many cars following behind. The traffic jam in front has been going on for nearly two or three hours with more than a hundred cars.
"From the back to the front, direct the cars one by one to move slowly! We can't wait! The more cars there are, the harder it will be!" Bai Song shouted, "We'll help you!"
"The water is too deep! If we let go, more cars will get stuck here!"
"We have to let go of that too! Ambulances are big vehicles, they can't wait!" Bai Song almost shouted, "Warn each vehicle one by one, if it's not an off-road vehicle, don't get off!"
