She was incredibly strong and yanked the door open.
The elderly woman and young woman hiding in the cellar were startled by the sound.
Yingyue: "Don't hide inside, come out quickly! A tsunami is coming, the family compound is going to be flooded."
When strong winds come, try to hide in low-lying areas to avoid the wind.
But when the water came, hiding in the cellar meant certain death.
"Get out quickly and evacuate to the back of the mountain. Don't take anything with you, hurry up."
After Yingyue finished speaking, she turned and went to the next house.
Time was of the essence, and with the water level rising higher and higher during the mission, she needed to move faster, much faster.
After calling several families, she noticed someone else knocking and calling for help. Yingyue quickly went forward and found it was Liu Changhong and his group.
"Deputy Director Liu."
"Comrade Yingyue, how's your street? Have they all been evacuated?"
Liu Changhong asked loudly.
Yingyue nodded, wiping the raindrops from her eyes. "Vice President Liu, why did you all come out?"
Have all the people been notified?
"They've been notified, they've all been notified."
After answering Yingyue's second question, Liu Changhong told her why he had come out.
It turns out that after notifying their families, although they returned home, they had not let their guard down.
After the strong winds subsided, the rain intensified, and considering that the residential compound was near the sea, he worried that it might flood.
The result was exactly as Liu Changhong had guessed.
The area is flooded...
"It's not just waterlogging."
Yingyue pointed into the distance, "The seawater is rising, and there might even be a tsunami."
"Tsunami..."
"Let's get back up the mountain!"
The firefly rang out.
Liu Changhong took a deep breath. "Okay."
"Get out of here! Get out of here!"
They had only exchanged a few words when the seawater had already reached their knees.
The water level is rising too fast.
If we don't run now, it will be too late.
Yingyue urged Liu Changhong to evacuate the family compound as soon as possible.
"Comrade Yingyue, you go first."
Liu Changhong was a man, so when danger struck, he naturally couldn't leave the female comrades behind; he left first.
He thought so, but Yingyue didn't think so.
Out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of a large group of people running up the mountain, reluctant to leave their luggage behind and wanting to go back inside to collect food. Yingyue quickly went forward to them.
"Don't take the grain."
"We only have this much food left at home. What will we eat if we don't take it?"
Those who were captured were unwilling to give up the food.
But in the current situation, if we don't give up food, we have to give up our lives.
They are just ordinary people, not Yingyue, and do not possess Yingyue's abilities.
"If we keep guarding the grain, we'll die."
At this time, life is more important than food.
Although the older women were very reluctant to part with their food, they dared not delay as the water level rose higher and higher.
They scrambled and crawled away towards the back of the mountain.
The heavy rain continued to fall, and the waves on the coast swept towards the residential compound, one after another.
Yingyue fastened her raincoat and, together with Liu Changhong, Zhao Wenming, and the others, was among the last to leave the family compound.
They had just reached the back of the mountain when the water in the family compound was already two meters deep.
Fortunately, there were several caves in the back mountain where they could hide temporarily, shelter from the rain, and wait for dawn.
"Oh dear, what are we going to do? How are we going to live like this?"
The cries and shouts behind me grew louder and louder.
Whether they were elderly or children, they were all crying loudly.
Some young people, though not quite as dramatic, were still wiping away tears.
Leaders from factories like Liu Meiyu's, as well as leadership teams from other factories, including Liu Changhong and his colleagues, all had tears in their eyes.
The factory, the hospital, the canteen, the supply and marketing cooperative, the school, and all the buildings in the entire residential compound were submerged in water.
"This loss is really too great."
Liu Changhong wiped away his tears, secretly grieving.
Yingyue found Huo Qing and confirmed that Huo Qing was alright before she came to Liu Changhong and the others.
Hearing Liu Changhong's words, she also felt a little melancholy.
The island was already poor, and this natural disaster only made things worse.
But they have no other options right now.
Natural disasters are beyond anyone's control.
"Look at it from another perspective, as long as people are still alive, there is still hope."
"Yes, as long as people are still alive, there is still hope. Don't be so discouraged."
Zhao Wenming spoke up from the side.
As an instructor, I am very good at ideological work.
After calming Liu Changhong and the others down, Zhao Wenming looked towards the camp with a worried expression.
I wonder how things are going over there?
Before he could even finish his thought, he heard gasps of surprise from the people around him.
Everyone looked ahead.
The waves, as tall as a person, crashed onto the shore and into the residential compound.
The family compound, where some rooftops were still visible, was completely submerged by seawater in an instant.
The houses closest to the sea had their walls completely washed away...
The family members who had previously cried because their residential compound was flooded were now speechless upon seeing this scene.
They even forgot to cry.
It was at this moment that they felt fortunate, thankfully, they had walked faster.
If they had been any slower, they would probably have been completely submerged by the sea, just like the houses below...
"sister in law……"
Huo Qing held Yingyue's hand, feeling very worried about Dou Chenfeng and Huo Cheng.
Yingyue comforted her, "Don't worry, the wind is coming ashore from this side, and the waves should be coming this way as well."
