When they arrived at the devastated village, the soldiers rushed into the flood without any hesitation, ready to rescue the people first and bring them to a safe place.
While rescuing villagers from nearby villages, the soldiers also ran towards the border, rescued the disaster-stricken people on the other side of the border, and temporarily brought them to the camp for shelter.
When they saw the soldiers helping several border residents who were covered in wounds back, many people gathered at the door.
Uncle Zhang, who was in the lead, crossed his arms, his eyes full of resentment.
A few years ago, one of his good brothers lost his life in a border conflict and never came back.
He frowned, looked at the exhausted looks of the soldiers, spat, and said: "Why save them!? If it weren't for them, we wouldn't have to suffer so much!"
Another old man at the side also echoed and nodded heavily, "That's right! Comrades, you can't even take care of your own people, why bother with them? Don't cause any more trouble for yourselves!"
The aunt standing nearby immediately became anxious when she heard the two talking like this. She put her hands on her waist, turned her head to look at them, and shouted back: "What nonsense are you two talking about!? Are you confused? It's already this late, and you're still holding grudges!"
"We ordinary people have no right to interfere in the affairs of the country, and what does war have to do with ordinary people? Do you know that these are human lives in front of us?"
Another auntie nodded and agreed, "That's right! No matter what, we can't just watch people get washed away by the flood! If this was your family, would you still say this? What's the difference between this and a beast!"
After being scolded like this, the two old men's faces turned red instantly, and they snorted coldly and stiffened their necks.
One of the ladies couldn't stand it anymore and pointed at them and shouted, "What are you standing there for? Help save people! Stop making sarcastic remarks!"
After hearing this, they looked reluctant but still did as they were told.
The camp was filled with injured civilians and many starving children.
The soldiers felt particularly distressed when they saw the children’s lips turned white from hunger, and hurriedly handed them some bread and let them eat first.
Seeing the busy figures of the soldiers, the people in the camp felt a little bit sorry for them, and soon, the uninjured people all went to the disaster area to help. Those who were not fully recovered from their injuries helped in carrying supplies and delivering tools in the camp. Anyone who could help was helpful.
A few old men who used to make sarcastic remarks came along to help, and now they were working more and more enthusiastically.
-
At this time, the village had already been washed away and was in a particularly dire state. There were only a few houses that had managed to survive, but they were basically destroyed by the flood and were on the verge of collapse.
The scene was terrifying, as if a wave would hit it in the next second and it would fall apart immediately.
Lu Huaiyan and Pei Yunchen rushed to the disaster-stricken areas without hesitation, intending to rescue the people who were washed away first.
Many people were washed away by the flood. Some hid in the trees, and some were lucky enough to grab a big rock and step on it.
But there were raging floods all around them, and the wind was strong, with huge waves rolling up in the water. They didn't dare to go down even though they wanted to, because once they did, they might be completely washed away and never come back.
Pei Yunchen frowned. The wounds on his body began to hurt again because of being soaked in water. They were almost numb, but he didn't care.
Looking at the little girl standing on a rock not far in front of him, he made up his mind, gritted his teeth, and walked towards her with difficulty through the water.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here to save you!" He walked forward while enduring the pain and comforting the little girl.
As a result, a huge wave suddenly rushed towards him. He was already injured and was exhausted after rescuing people for a long time. After being hit in the face by the wave, he instantly lost his balance.
He fell into the muddy flood, his body moving backwards uncontrollably, his legs leaving the ground.
There was nothing around him to lean on, so he tried to grab something to steady himself, but found nothing.
"save……"
Before he could even utter the word "help", he was hit by a wave, instantly blocking all his words.
Just when he was about to be submerged by the flood, suddenly, a pair of hands grabbed him and pulled him out of the flood.
“Are you okay?!”
Lu Huaiyan had just swam over from the side and was now gasping for breath due to exhaustion.
Pei Yunchen was dizzy for a moment, shook his head, and then slowly woke up. He turned to look at Lu Huaiyan, shook his head and said, "It's okay, thanks to you for holding me!"
Lu Huaiyan heaved a sigh of relief when he heard him say this.
"Hold on, let's get ashore first! If we continue like this, we'll run out of energy and something bad will happen!"
Pei Yunchen nodded, "Okay."
The two of them held on tightly and hurried towards the shore, gritting their teeth and trying hard.
As a result, before the two of them reached the shore, suddenly, another strong wind blew, instantly rolling up a huge wave and rushing towards them at a rapid speed.
As they watched the waves getting closer, their hearts suddenly tightened and they felt extremely powerless.
They couldn't avoid this big wave, they could only hope for better luck.
Sure enough, as they expected, the next second, a huge impact force hit them, and before the two of them could react, they were swept far away by the wave.
They were engulfed by the flood and had no room for resistance.
