Hundreds of people worked along the embankment, and now the situation was quite critical, the river was flushed with the embankment, and in some places the water had flooded, and they piled sandbags on the embankment, and raised the embankment, and Mark They didn't talk nonsense when they came, and immediately began to work.

Mike, a student from the photography club of the town middle school, held a handheld DV camera, patted left and right, and constantly excitedly explained, the boy did not know sorrow, and was very proud of taking rare scenes, thinking that all this was very cool, and was kicked by Sam in the ass, scolded before running somewhere else.

The biggest problem now is that the river is so hot that it is so hot that it is close to the mouth of the sea and the terrain is low-lying, and Sam laments: "If this continues, the river will rise much faster than we can pile sandbags, and we will be finished at dawn." ”

Just as Mark passed by with two sandbags and said, "Then hurry up." Mark put down his sandbag and said, "Sam, you're both a town chief and a sheriff, why do you like people to call you sheriff?"

Sam and Mark walked into the waterproof tent, took a cup of coffee, and said: "I want to be a doer, not a bureaucrat in general, such a small place, there is actually a town-level administrative unit to be sent above, I went back, where there is no government, it is the best place, why pay a few more salaries, just like that, I was promoted to the mayor of the town, but I still do the work of a sheriff, and I receive the salary of a sheriff, Mark, you make me look the other way, you are a good man." ”

Mark finished his coffee in two sips, felt warm all over, and said, "I've always been a man!" He laughed and ran out again.

Perhaps God didn't want them to be flooded, the rain became smaller in the second half of the night, and the rain became smaller and smaller, and the rain stopped at dawn, although the sky was still full of dark clouds, but it no longer rained, and the water level of the river no longer rose, but they did not dare to be careless, and sent a lot of men to guard the embankment, and Mike was deeply moved when he saw the people who were so tired that they sat on the wet mud and fell asleep: "We want other people to see all this." ”

He and his classmates from the photography club braved the slippery and dangerous roads, climbed a few hills, and came to the next town where the disaster was not so bad, and uploaded the video to the Internet and YouTube.

In the afternoon of the same day, six helicopters arrived, bringing a large amount of relief supplies and food, and the townspeople were so shocked that they took to the streets and surrounded them to welcome the guests from afar.

Large-scale natural disasters in several states, water and electricity outages everywhere, food shortages, this river-crisscrossed seaside town has also become an isolated island because the bridge has been washed away, everyone is more frightened, afraid that the rescue team did not come before starving to death, and now it is okay, the helicopters are coming, one is six, and the outside world has not forgotten them.

The helicopter landed in the leisurely square of the town, led by David, who had a flight license at the age of sixteen, and as soon as he got off the plane, he immediately arranged for people to unload the supplies, and asked when he met people: "Where is Mark? Have you seen Mark?" When he saw Anne and Giselle coming over and reuniting after the disaster, he felt like a world away, and he rushed up to each of them and hugged each of them, and said, "Thank goodness you're all right, Mark?"

Giselle said angrily: "I'm carrying sandbags on the river embankment." ”

David said, "Oh my God, he's been scolded in the media as a dog, he's tired like a dog here, you guys pack up right away, and you can go back to Los Angeles tonight." ”

Giselle said: "Mark and I have both decided to stay here. ”

David said: "Stay in this place, what's so good about this, they don't lack a sandbag, you go back and donate millions, and play a greater role." ”

Giselle said: "Mark made a decision, and no one can change it, so I decided to stay with him. ”

David said: "Ok! I respect your decision, I can't stop you from helping people save people, if there is anything and what you need, remember to inform me as soon as possible." ”

The arrival of the rescue team greatly boosted morale, people rushed to shake hands with the pilots, the girls offered fragrant kisses, they were also taken by the residents to take a group photo, after unloading the supplies, they carried more than 10 wounded patients onto the plane, this storm, no one died, but there were many wounded, this is a great luck in misfortune.

David, with the whole town cheering them off, flew off and returned to San Francisco, this time they detoured over the state of Isiana, flew over the city of New Orleans, saw the city become a vast ocean, many people waited on the rooftops for help, saw the helicopter flying by, and waved for help.

David saw that more than half of the plane was empty, arranged for the pilot to land on the roof, picked up these people, and saw these people crying with joy, David's heart was full of pride and honor, and he said on the radio public frequency: "Guys, isn't this amazing? It is a great pleasure to help people, and I am deeply honored to work with you." ”

"Call the air helicopter formation! Call the air helicopter formation! This is the Luzhou ground command center, please report your identity and destination!"

David responded, "We're a civilian volunteer rescue team, I'm Captain David Ellison, and we're delivering a shipment of relief supplies to Alabama, and we're escorting the wounded back to San Francisco for treatment." ”

The other party was silent for a moment and said: "You have done the right thing, I am Major General Wilson, please accept that I greet Your Excellency on behalf of the ground center, the National Guard Air Rescue Team is understaffed, are you interested in joining?"

David said: "It is a great honor, we will report immediately after completing this flight mission, please send us the location." In this way, David temporarily joined the National Guard Air Rescue Team, responsible for rescuing trapped people and transporting the wounded.

When Larry found out about this, he was angry and immediately contacted him, saying, "Bastard boy, do you know what you're doing?"

As David was flying the plane home, he said, "Pay attention to your tone and your words, you are talking to the Temporary Air Force Captain of the National Guard, and I am on a flight mission, please add the word captain after your last name." ”

Larry scolded: "What bullshit, are you going to be the commander-in-chief of the Air Force or my son, I will scold if you want to." ”

David said: "I'm saving people, I've grown so big, it's the first time I've done such a meaningful thing." ”

Larry sighed, "I can't stop you from saving people, but you have to be careful not to be reckless." ”

David felt his father's deep care, and he felt warm from hundreds of kilometers away, and he said, "I will, thank you for your concern, but I'm going to work." ”

Larry said, "David, I'm so proud of you!"

David cut off the radio, his eyes were a little moist, this was the first time he had heard Larry say this to him, and he himself felt that he was not just a rich second generation who could only drive luxury cars and play with women.

The helicopters brought supplies and carried away the wounded, which greatly boosted morale and encouraged people, as the weather improved, the water level of the river dropped, everything had turned from danger to safety, and after the emergency repairs of the power workers and telecommunications workers, the power supply was restored, and the communications were also restored.

The catastrophic damage caused by Storm Kalitna in Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama, as the flood control that separates Lake Pontchartrain from New Orleans, Louisiana, burst due to storm surge, flooding 80% of the city, and strong winds that hit the interior and hampered relief efforts, causing at least $75 billion in economic damage to Katrina.

As early as the evening of 1 September, the Senate approved $10.5 billion in disaster relief funds, and all sectors of society also enthusiastically raised funds and donated, but these are far from quenching the thirst of the near, and a mere $10 billion is just a drop in the bucket for huge losses, and the key is to save oneself and claim compensation from insurance companies.

Sam organized all the heads of households to discuss the rebuilding plan, and Mark, as a well-known member of the community, was invited to offer some advice.

The first item of this meeting is to count the damage, this work Sam is already doing, he has seconded a few teachers from the school to do damage assessment, but this official assessment is very different from the data provided by the private sector, and now Sam has no money in his hands, and he has no confidence to speak, but he has repeatedly promised that he will apply to his superiors for funds to help rebuild after the disaster.

However, everyone knows that there are so many official procedures and procedures, and I don't know when the money arrives, and now everyone is waiting for the money to start work, and without money, nothing can be done.

Mark knew that it was time for him to appear, his family foundation would donate five million for post-disaster reconstruction, this money was earmarked and could only be used for the construction of public facilities, which won everyone's applause, applause lasted for three minutes, Mark's performance in the typhoon disaster, won everyone's respect, a billionaire went with them to the sandbag, is a down-to-earth real person.

And the donation of five million is not too little, and it is estimated that the disaster relief funds pulled out by the city government, that is, this amount, is really a generous person, and everyone has repeatedly paid tribute to him and expressed their gratitude.

At this time, Mark also knew about the media's slander and smear against him, and he had asked Egger to press it first to see how many demons and monsters jumped out.

And now, Mark has openly appeared here, and other people know that Mark is here, and before that, only a few people knew that they only cared about what was in front of them, and did not pay attention to the gossip news on the Internet and TV.

Mark thinks that his judgment is correct, the entertainment industry is a place full of malice and danger, a tabloid reporter can actually set off such a big storm by reading and writing the same report, there must be someone pushing from it, some people take advantage of the fire to ignite the fire, some people fall into the well, and some are purely jealous, in short, Mark was careless, slightly exposed flaws, they pounced on him like hungry wolves, biting him to death, who dares to guarantee that they will never make a mistake and remain strong?

Thank you, the happiest thing for the local tyrant book friends is that you are fatter than me. Thank you! The book was frequently promoted in the city at 2 o'clock in the afternoon on the 28th, and I would like to ask for the support of the book friends who have the conditions, thank you. Commonwealth of Nations.
