Chapter 861: Distress (First Shift)
It's broken!
Zhang Chen was in a trance, and seemed to have returned to the unforgettable experience in Xunyang in his previous life.
Zhang Chen still remembers that it was about two o'clock in the afternoon, and he and his classmates were queuing up at the long-distance station, preparing to go to Lushan to see Chang Kaishen's Meiling Villa.
There may be some people with mobile phones and are more well-informed, and soon after the break, there was a commotion in the bustling crowd at the long-distance station. After a few more minutes, the loudspeakers at the long-distance station began to broadcast the news of the Yangtze River breach on a loop, causing all the residents on the street and those living below 24 meters to move upstairs.
Fortunately, it was afternoon, and most of the residents in the city received the news in time, except for some who worked the night shift and may still be sleeping. The breach is indeed terrifying, but unlike a tsunami, flooding takes time, and almost everyone is moved to safety before the flood inundates the main city.
The knock on the door became more and more urgent, Zhang Chen came back to his senses, hurriedly put on his clothes, picked up his mobile phone and the spare battery that was being charged, and opened the door.
"Mr. Zhang, it is said that the Yangtze River has burst, and this place is too close to the river, for your safety, we must immediately move to the roof or leave now to go to the high point of the city. Hu Kaixuan spoke first.
"I just contacted Cheshkov's interpreter and applied for a route to the Jiangning Military District, and in an hour, Cheshkov's helicopter team will be able to arrive. Xiao Lele's face was also a little pale.
Burst, flood, no matter what the word, makes people shudder. What's more, it's the middle of the night, and it's dark everywhere outside the window, which adds a lot of fear.
Not good! Zhang Chen suddenly reacted.
Although Xunyang suffered huge property losses due to the flood in the previous life, the loss of life of Xunyang residents is not too big, at least compared with this level of disaster, in addition to the timely response of the local government and the active participation of the army in disaster relief, more importantly, the breaking time is in the daytime, giving people sufficient time to react.
But now, in the middle of the night, most people are asleep, and now most people in Xunyang are still living in bungalows, which are called shantytowns, if they are really flooded, I dare not imagine how many people will be killed.
In any case, we still have to evacuate first. Zhang Chen is not the main theme actor, let alone the death act of "the last evacuation". In the face of crisis, the most correct choice is to protect yourself and the people around you first, and then help others when you have spare energy.
Just like on an airplane, flight attendants will remind passengers that in case of danger, put on an oxygen mask for themselves first, and then help their children put it on.
The villa of the State Guest House is too low, only three floors, close to the river, the roof is not safe, everyone checks it, while the flood has not come, hurry up to the city.
Zhang Chen and his entourage all lived in Villa No. 1 of the State Guest House, and everyone gathered in the living room on the first floor, counted the number of people, and boarded the Chevrolet bullet of the State Guest House to go to the high point of the city to avoid danger.
Of course, he didn't bring anything like that, Zhang Chen only took a document bag and hurriedly got into the car.
As soon as the car drove out of the State Guest House, I heard the sound of whining water in front of me, and the headlights shone brightly, only to see a white flower water line in the distance, which seemed to be slow but was actually surging towards the direction of the State Guest House.
The way was cut off.
Everyone's hearts sank, no one expected that the flood would come so quickly.
In fact, when Zhang Chen was woken up, it had been nearly half an hour. Because it was late at night, the initial pipe chong was not discovered by the patrolling armed police, and by the time the team arrived, the pipe chong had developed into a breach, and the break had expanded to a width of more than five meters.
In order to protect Poyang Lake and Poyang Lake, the Xunyang section cannot open the sluice gate on a large scale to release water, and there are nearly 10 million residents near Poyang Lake.
At the same time, the upper and middle reaches of the Yangtze River are also rainy and rainy, and in the past few days, the water level of the Xunyang section of the Yangtze River has exceeded the height of the Xunyang City horizon by three meters.
The power of the flood is really reflected when it bursts, and under the washing of the huge amount of floods, the breach is getting bigger and bigger, and it has the momentum of breaking down the entire section of the embankment!
Five, six, seven, eight。。。。。。 In another half an hour, the width of the breach has expanded to nearly ten meters, and it continues to expand!
The speed of the water gushing out of the embankment is getting faster and faster, and it is becoming more and more violent, like the heavenly river pouring in, surging towards Xunyang City three meters below.
Lu Xinyi and Xiao Lele trembled with fright, and Xiao Lele even sobbed in a low voice.
They are all little girls in their twenties, where have they ever seen such a disaster?
Zhang Chen immediately made a decision and said to Hu Kaixuan: "Turn around and go back to the guest house." ”
Hu Kaixuan grabbed the driver away, sat in the driver's seat himself, and used his hands and feet together, the tires of the Chevrolet bullet let out a piercing scream on the ground, turned the car on the spot, and drove back to the guest house with the engine roaring.
The speed of the flood was much faster than expected, and the first wave of the flood swept in as soon as everyone was about to get out of the car.
The most terrifying part of the flood is not that it will be drowned, but that its huge kinetic energy will carry everything that can be washed away to the next target, and these floating objects that drift with the tide will directly threaten and harm people, far beyond the flood itself.
Soon, the flood water flooded the car, and if it remained in the car and filled it with water, the car would be completely destroyed. But if you don't stay in the car, you don't know what will hit you in the water, which is also dangerous.
Even Hu Kaixuan had never encountered such a thing, and it was difficult to make a choice for a while, and the two girls were even more frightened and incoherent.
Zhang Chen gritted his teeth, "Get out of the car!" Forcefully opened the door of the Chevrolet bullet, fortunately the rear door of the bullet was pulled sideways, and the water pressure resistance was not so great, as soon as the door opened, a stream of muddy water with a fishy smell poured into the car.
Hu Kaixuan had also pushed open the driver's door at this time, swam into the water, at this time the water was up to his chest, Hu Kaixuan wiped a handful of muddy water on his face, and turned around to find Zhang Chen, but saw a large black thing coming down the water, six or seven meters away, it was Zhang Chen who was trudging in the water!
Not to mention at night, even during the day, Zhang Chen didn't have eyes on the back of his head, and he couldn't see the foreign object coming down the water at all, not to mention that at night, it was still raining, so he was naturally defenseless.
"Boss, be careful!" Hu Kaixuan exclaimed, wanting to pounce, but there was a distance of five or six meters between him and Zhang Chen, and it was difficult to move in the water, and it was impossible to rescue him from a distance of one or two meters, let alone such a long distance.
As soon as Zhang Chen turned around, the black shadow was already close in front of him, and he was not allowed to react.
There will be a second shift in a while, no need to wait, it's just right to watch tomorrow morning
