Chapter 1059: Distress
"As long as the Dongshan Bridge can be walked, it is still necessary to go there, and it will take at least more than an hour to divert the route, and the rain has been falling non-stop during this time, and no one knows what will happen if it is delayed, and other roads may also be affected, or go here." ”
The county magistrate Rao worriedly followed Liu Haohao and his party to the Dongshan Bridge, and found that the situation was worse than they imagined, the wind and rain were howling non-stop, and they could hardly hear each other's voices, the flood was rapid and fierce, screaming and whistling again and again to hit the bridge piers, and the county magistrate Rao had not seen such a dangerous scene in Ning'an County for many years.
"Mayor Liu, you can't cross it! I'm afraid this bridge will collapse at any time!" said County Magistrate Rao, wiping the rain from his face.
Liu Hao gritted his teeth, "Dongshan County is the most severely affected in several counties, and now the communication there is interrupted, no matter what, I have to go over to see the situation first." Xiao Huang, are you sure of this situation?"
Huang Qi looked at the river intently, gritted his teeth and said, "Be sure!"
"Okay! Then let's go!" Liu Hao turned his head to look at Chen Tong, "You-"
"I'll follow you!" Chen Tong interrupted her loudly, with a resolute look on his face.
Liu Hao took a deep look at her, "Okay!
The county magistrate Rao took people to watch Liu Haohao's car drive towards the bridge without hesitation, his face was nervous and worried, he sweated at the end of the bridge, the rain was too heavy, and the visibility was extremely low, he couldn't see whether Liu Haohao had reached the other side safely, and waited at the end of the bridge for nearly twenty minutes anxiously, estimating that they should go to Dongshan County anyway, so he was slightly relieved and ready to go back.
As soon as he turned his head, he heard a loud "boom".
"The bridge is collapsing!
Everyone shouted loudly in panic, and County Magistrate Rao's heart was half cold, and he almost used all his strength, "Quick! Go back and report to the authorities!"
When the news reached the Meteorological Bureau, Zhuang Lijun and Sang Yunhua were discussing disaster relief in the conference room.
"The Dongshan Bridge collapsed, and because Dongshan County could not be contacted, it was not clear whether Mayor Liu was on the bridge. ”
The county magistrate reported in a panic that Xia Mengmeng, who was standing silently weeping beside him, followed Liu Haohao all the way to brave the wind and rain today, and had scared her half of her life, and really didn't have the courage to follow her to continue to move forward, so she stayed in the Ning'an County Government, but she didn't expect to get such a bad news, and she now knows what kind of responsibility Liu Haohao's seemingly glamorous life bears.
Everyone changed color in unison, no one dared to look at the expression on Zhuang Lijun's face, or Sang Yunhua was the first to react, "Mayor Liu has a satellite phone on him, contact her immediately!"
Zhuang Lijun never said a word, his jaw was tight, and he stared at the caller.
Fortunately, the phone was quickly picked up, and it was Chen Tong's voice, but the voice was very vague.
"Director Chen, are you with Mayor Liu?" The noise on the other side was so loud that the person on the phone almost shouted to talk to her.
"We are together, we are about to go to the Dongshan County Government, the situation here is very bad, the water is very high, our car is damaged on the road, now get out of the car and walk......" Chen Tong also shouted back with all his strength.
"The Dongshan Bridge collapsed just now, are you all right?"
"It's okay! But Dongshan County is very flooded, the water on this part of the road we are walking is already waist-high, and the rain is still falling, I'm afraid we won't be able to walk soon, bring an assault boat to evacuate the masses as soon as possible!"
Zhuang Lijun stood up suddenly, clenched his fists, and finally didn't say a word.
The conference room of the Meteorological Bureau became a temporary headquarters, and learned about the situation in the counties and districts of the city, especially the situation in Dongshan County, the hardest-hit area, and the disaster relief troops were about to enter the disaster relief in batches. ”
Everyone looked at him, no one questioned, no one dissuaded, this is not only his duty as a soldier to protect the people, but also his deepest love for his wife as a husband - to fight side by side.
"Mayor Liu, why are you here?" County Magistrate Gao wiped the rain from his face fiercely, his eyes were red from being stimulated by the rain for a long time, and he took Liu Hao back to the county government in an assault boat.
The county government is relatively high, and there are a lot of sandbags piled up in front of the door, so the water only floods under the steps, "I'm afraid it will flood soon, and we have already moved all the important belongings to the third floor." ”
The dark clouds are heavy, the rain is endless, and the power outage is added, the light in the house is very dim, they can only light candles, turn on the emergency lights, the corridors and aisles of the county government are full of evacuated people, the faces of adults are panicked and sad, but the children feel strange and lively, running and jumping, very excited, the whole county government echoes with the laughter and screams of the children, and dispels the original depressing atmosphere.
"Fortunately, you let us evacuate most of the people in advance, and distributed disaster relief items such as assault boats, emergency lights, candles, flashlights, raincoats, and rain boots......
"Most?" Liu looked at him sensitively.
The county magistrate sighed, "A few of them moved late, they fell into the water on the way to transfer and were swept away by the flood, and a few were killed and injured by trees and low walls on the road, among them, there is a deputy head of Jinhe Township who collapsed into the air and fell into the water when he organized the transfer of the masses, and now he is missing, nine times out of ten......"
The voice of the county magistrate Gao was choked, and the old colleagues and subordinates who had been in the office for so many years left so suddenly, saying in their hearts that it was impossible not to feel uncomfortable, and to be a grassroots cadre was not to drink tea and read the newspaper in the office every day as others imagined, and the responsibility that should be borne should be borne even at the cost of life.
Just like at this time, who doesn't know that it is safest to hide indoors in strong winds and rains, but they still have to risk their lives to go out, the electricity needs to be repaired, the masses need to be transferred, and seeing that their colleagues are gone in front of them, they still have to suppress their fear and continue to do what they have to do.
"Everyone should pay attention to safety, don't think too much about it now, the most important thing is to confirm whether all the people have been transferred, and the second is to confirm whether all the relocation sites are safe, the rapid current formed by the flood is very likely to wash away the buildings, not the higher the house, the safer, and according to the current trend, even if the storm passes, the rain does not stop so quickly, the flood does not recede so quickly, continue to be besieged by the flood, can their food and water survive......
