Chapter 772: Tianming
In less than an hour, more than 300 trucks of New Taipei Logistics Company, as well as more than 700 transportation and engineering vehicles and agricultural machinery vehicles that can be transferred to the dam near the dam, as well as more than 30 ships of various types, all sank into the river!
Flood levels are still rising.
But with the thousands of iron bumps sinking into the breaches, and the large number of pebble sandbags, the thirteen breaches in the embankment in the Liaocheng section were repaired before the flood peak arrived—albeit at a high cost and looking rather rough.
But in an extremely tight timeframe, this is the best solution people can think of!
The rain had stopped in the sky, leaving only a dense cloud that was as thick as ink in the darkness of the night.
7:45 p.m.
Repeat, we have just received news that the Langxiang Reservoir in the upstream of the Liaocheng section has been opened to discharge floodwater!"
"After receiving the news from the Majiagou Hydropower Station, the flood gate has been opened! Please prepare the dam for a large-scale flood peak!"
The walkie-talkie in Niu Zhenxing's hand made a noise.
After more than twenty hours of hard fighting, all of them were exhausted. It was pulled to a clearing only 100 meters away from the dam.
Now all people can do is wait and pray.
Or rather, resign yourself to fate.
The diesel generator suddenly sounded non-stop, accompanied by the sound of waves and water, and played a concerto in the dark night from the convergence of human civilization and the struggle against natural disasters.
The high-power searchlight replaces the light of the stars and the moon to cast a circle of light on the dam, reflecting the shadows of the chaotic waste on the dam on the turbulent water. In the night, the distorted light and shadow were like ghosts dancing in the river.
"It's coming!"
Rumble!
Rumble!
I don't know who made a scream.
With this exclamation, there was a strange roar from far and near.
The voice, in the darkness of the night, sounded like the cry of some beast—a group of beasts running hard, red-eyed, hungry, trying to choose a man to devour!
Standing on the hillside in the distance, looking at the flood peak under the searchlight, which was more than a meter high above the surface of the river, roared and rushed over, he had never seen such a scene, and Li Xian, who had a phobia of water, couldn't help but take a step back.
Tynyima is scary,
Burst!~
Before he could take another step back, the first wave of the flood peak hit the first river bend with lightning speed!
In the darkness of the night, the huge impact threw the yellow river into the sky.
Under the reflection of the searchlight, the river that turned into stars in the sky released a little bit of crystal, just like the stars above the nine heavens falling into the river!
It was a magnificent sight that is hard to describe in words.
"it!"
"I can't stand it! I can't stand it!"
Seeing the majesty of the first wave of the flood peak, the crowd behind the dam let out a burst of exclamation and retreated.
Burst!!!
Just when people were messing around, the second round of flood peaks came.
With the arrival of the second round of flood peaks, the river water that was already flush with the dam abutment overflowed the embankment in an instant, and the panicked flood poured down the dam that was full of holes and patched like a torn cotton jacket, rolling up the tools and carts discarded by the people under the dam in an instant, and rushing downstream!
Perhaps by the impact of the water, the thousands of iron bumps beneath the dam rattled and clanged, and in the darkness of the night it sounded like some beast scratching at a cage made of steel with its sharp claws.
The whole world seems to be trembling.
Only the dam that was full of holes, filled and mended, like a torn cotton jacket, still stood stubbornly there.
Five minutes, ten minutes, fifteen minutes.......
Everyone waited in fear for more than forty minutes before the dragon-like flood peak raging in the river embankment was about to recede. At this time, the dam, although several gaps have been impacted by the flood peak to varying degrees, seeping water to the outside, but it is still intact.
"Passed?"
"Resisted?"
"Let's ...... Win!"
"Hold on!"
Seeing that the torrent in the river slowly changed from hideous to docile, everyone present rejoiced.
......
"Comrade Li Xian, thank you for your cooperation with New Taipei Logistics! I will report the situation here to the province, please rest assured. ”
On the embankment, amid cheers, Niu Xingbang first shook hands with the cadres of the military region and local leaders to celebrate, and then walked in front of Li Xian and stretched out his right hand.
Li Xian smiled.
Standing still and didn't move, he stretched out his hand to meet it - it wasn't that he was big, waiting for the other party to take the initiative to shake hands.
It's just that the scene of the two flood peaks just now is too scary.
He...... My legs are still shaking.
Niu Xingbang's set, Li Xian has heard a lot of this day, and when he was in Jinan before, he said it several times just for Zu Qingsheng.
To put it mildly, my ears are calloused.
What he cares about now is something more practical.
"Commander Niu, what the two of us said before......
As soon as this stopped, Li Xian began to settle the accounts, which obviously made Niu Xingbanghu blush: "Lao Tzu spit a nail in one mouth, and what I promised you will definitely do! You don't have to worry about this, when the flood is over and the aftermath is over, I will contact you, and then you will come to the military region, and we will talk about the details at that time." ”
Seeing that Niu Xingbang agreed, Li Xian smiled: "That's it......"
Just when Niu Xingbang had a headache for the little ghost in front of him who was robbing while the fire was burning.
The other side of the dam.
A group of people who are out of step with the rest of the rescue teams on the dam are getting together.
The reason why it is out of place is that most of the people involved in the rescue on the dam are men. And this team of hundreds is made up of women.
Relative to gender, the attire of these women is the root cause of their uniqueness - although their clothes have been wet by the flood and stained with stains and mud, the style of white bars on a blue background is very eye-catching.
Even if there is no red letter on the left side of the chest, "Liaocheng No. 1 Women's Prison", anyone can see that it is a prison uniform at all.
"Comrades, the embankment has been held! Although you are all inmates undergoing rehabilitation and re-education, the government is watching your performance during this flood. When you return to prison, we will give you praise and reward you based on your performance, as appropriate. For some outstanding performances, we may consider giving a certain reduction policy......"
Hearing the female officer's instructions, one of the female prisoners rolled her eyes.
The woman was in her early thirties, and her short, ear-length hair was covered in mud and filth. Xu was a little pale and haggard because she had been soaking in the water for too long, but she could see that she was extremely handsome. Although he was wearing a wide prison uniform, he couldn't hide his bumpy figure.
Who is this man?
It is none other than Wang Biao, the main culprit of the "S202 Provincial Highway Extraordinarily Large Carjacking Case" that triggered the transformation and rectification action of the province's crackdown on car bandits and road rage - Wangjiabao's widow Sun, Sun Lijuan.
"Report, may I ask the government, how much can the sentence be reduced?"
Hearing the prison guards talk about the issue of commutation, Sun Lijuan moved her mind.
was implicated by Wang Biao, and in the Wangjiabao case, she was also imprisoned for organizing women to pretend to be ghosts and stop cars.
However, considering the nature of her offence as an accomplice and the fact that she was a woman, she was sentenced to only two years. After Wang Biao and other main culprits were shot, she was detained in Liaocheng No. 1 Women's Prison.
Two years, is it long?
In normal times, two years is a blink of an eye.
But in prison, without personal freedom, the days are long!
Especially for the widow Sun, who has never suffered in recent years,
What was the life of Widow Sun before?
In Wangjiabao, Wang Biao takes care of him, and he doesn't do any work every day, two mahjong a day, and three meals of the owner of the restaurant!
Now that I'm squatting, I don't have that treatment;
In the past, Widow Sun had to be respectfully held wherever she went, and people had to take the initiative to light mahjong.
Right now?
Every morning before dawn, I have to get up and empty the urinal.
When I was working in the labor camp, I had to do the work of five people, otherwise I would be beaten up when I went back.
When eating, I have to give my share to the eldest sisters first, and often the delicious ones can't be their turn, so they eat some dry food to satisfy their stomachs. Since entering the number, Widow Sun has never eaten cucumbers again.
It's nothing.
As a newcomer, she has to do any dirty work.
For example, let's let the wind go,
It's easy to get a chance to rest and relax, and when others are basking in the sun, Widow Sun has to squat in the grass in the playground to find frogs for the eldest sisters all over the world... Well, big sister Happy Frog.
In general, in the number, the former landlord's wife can only be a little maid now.
How can this widow stand it?
Time hangs heavy on one's hands!
During this period of imprisonment, she regretted that she had followed Wang Biao, a short-lived ghost.
Now when she heard the prison guards say that participating in the disaster relief this time could reduce her sentence, she couldn't help but be moved.
"Look at the performance, but also look at your own sentence. But Sun Lijuan, your performance this time still impresses me. Your sentence is only two years, so behave well in the future and strive to return to society and become a new person within a year. ”
Hearing the encouragement in the officer's words, Widow Sun was stunned.
"Report to the government!" I suddenly remembered that there were some things I forgot to explain when I confessed before, and I wanted to fight for leniency!"
Rubbing her arm, which was completely numb and unconscious, Widow Sun burst into tears.
It was as if she saw the light of freedom, projected onto her body from above the nine heavens. When she was arrested before, Widow Sun was hiding a lot of things. At that time, she thought that as long as she pinched these things, she would be able to live a good life after going out.
But now, she doesn't think so.
I can't stand the days here!
The old lady wants to behave, the old lady wants to be lenient,
Mother...... I don't want to suffer such a living sin in this place where birds don't and don't talk about it, and there are no birds!
