Chapter Twenty-Three: Moses and Moses? Summer of Water (Part I)

The Lu family continued to watch the continuous reports on TV, and always felt that the flood seemed to be far away from them. The Pearl River system is 108,000 miles away from the Yangtze River system, and there is no concern that a similar situation will occur in South China.

In 1998, the climate of the country was abnormal. The flood season began on June 12, and the rainfall belt has been seesawing and swinging up and down in the north and south of the Yangtze River basin. On July 2, after the first flood peak of 53,500 cubic meters per second, on July 2, after the first flood peak of 53,500 cubic meters per second, the Yangtze River was lost for the first time, 25 people were killed in Yanzhou Bay, 19 PLA officers and soldiers died in the rescue, and a total of 44 people died at the beginning of the flood mouth.

The breach was 900 meters wide that night, and the village of Zhongbao at the breach. After the breach, the villagers ran to the highest embankment against the flood peak, and then ran from the embankment to the higher dry embankment, and finally got a chance to escape. The other villages at the back still had a buffer time, and the army and local political axes mobilized a large number of boats to transfer the population to other towns and villages in Jiayu County, except for the flood control forces.

In the afternoon of the next day, more than 80 square kilometers of Yanzhou Bay had become a country, and 50,000 people in Yanzhou Bay were homeless.

People in other cities outside the Yangtze River are like ordinary citizens and soldiers. Most ordinary citizens only care about the trivial matters around them, and the price of vegetables has risen again, when will they be promoted? My friends are doing better than me...... Numerous; The soldiers, on the other hand, are urged by the instructors, and are always worried that the country will go to war under the indiscriminate bombardment of the instructors' information, and they are in a state of readiness for war every day, and they often care about military news even after retirement.

Ordinary people watching TV at home do not know what is in trouble, and the People's Liberation Army, which sacrificed their lives to rescue the people in the breach, is already in the midst of disasters and does not enjoy happiness.

50,000 people fled from their homes empty-handed, their houses, fields, and livestock were gone.

The prophecy on the mail became a reality, the Yangtze River was flooded, and the breach was 900 meters!

Some people think that this is the end of the flood, but they don't know that this is only the first wave of floods.

Some people have found that nothing has happened to the Huai River mentioned in the prophecy so far.

At least the death toll hasn't reached 4,000 yet!

All kinds of speculation and rumors are spreading, so that the superiors have to pay attention to the mysterious email, or that—hundreds of thousands, and in a short period of time, it has been spread into millions of mysterious emails!

"Check the condition of the dams of the Huai River generation for me...... Also, check, check this person for me, find out who this bf is! He must have known which section of the levee was dangerous! Xia Donghua, the commander-in-chief of flood control and drought relief, ordered to go down.

Although the entire state apparatus cannot be mobilized, the commander-in-chief of flood control and drought control still has its own technical departments, and more than a dozen technicians are busy with their work as soon as they are ordered.

"I found it, but although he used a Chinese email address, the login location showed a US IP." The flood control and drought relief headquarters will give feedback on the information.

"I don't care if he's a Chinese or an American, give me the identity of this person!" Xia Donghua further ordered.

******

God is merciful, how can we Limu remember so much detail, even if we find him, it will be in vain, even if all the ten tortures in the expiration period are offered, he can't say why. It is better to take advantage of the little time left to send someone to check which section of the embankment is more dangerous, and evacuate the people and supplies as soon as possible.

Almost at the same time that the prophecy email was noticed, Riki's manga submissions also arrived at their destination one after another.

******

The first to receive the manuscript was Hong Kong Mantianxia Publishing House.

At this time, they had enough authors, and they had no plans to expand the market, so they did not solicit comics, and Riki's submission was undoubtedly very abrupt.

However, since it was such a thick manuscript, the editor finally took it apart and read it.

"This kind of alchemy is too!" The editor-in-charge yelled and asked the other editors to come and take a look.

Alchemy is remembered as the technology of chemically converting some base metals into gold through a large number of flasks and instruments, or making elixirs and elixirs. Since the idea is to achieve alchemy through the transformation of matter, it is also the closest fantasy system to science.

People are always deifying alchemy, but in any case, alchemy that can achieve alchemy function by patting the ground with both hands -

"-That's too much to say, isn't it?"

"But the quality of the comics is very good, and it's innovative, so how about trying to serialize it in a magazine?"

"How can there be a space in the magazine for him, do you want to get rid of any writer?"

"I think it's still good, Ah Hao, isn't your "World Choice" almost over? Let's see if you let this newcomer be on top? ”

"Editor-in-chief, why are you here? I'm interested in renewing my ......."

"Just give him a try or two and see how it goes?"

"Okay, okay, let's try it."

Although the world has not opened a solicitation for submissions for the time being, "Fullmetal Alchemist" has indeed entered their eyes and decided to try out newcomers from this continent.

When they followed the phone attached to the comic manuscript, Riki was drawing comics in Lu Hui's room. It's so hot, I have to do it! The fan at home doesn't work at all in the hot summer. The summer cicadas chirped sparsely in the trees as early as the end of June, and now the trees along the riverbank are full of noise, and the cicadas have started their noisy concert.

Know-know-know-know-

But it is also a monotonous and boring concert.

"Riki! Pear wood! ”

Mixed with the triumphant song of life that Xia Cicada only has once in his life, the closed window faintly reveals a trace of human voice.

"Riki, your uncle seems to be calling you." Lu Hui, who was in the same room to write summer homework, said.

Although she is in her third year of high school next year and is going to prepare for the National College Entrance Examination, she is still quite leisurely, or is it a relaxing moment before the intense revision? Now I occasionally help Riki paste comic mesh paper.,Become Limu's little half of the comic assistant.。

Compared with Riki, who is concentrating on drawing comics, Lu Hui, who is writing her summer homework, seems to be more distracted, and the cicadas and human voices are so harsh to her.

"Oh." Limu answered Lu Hui's call, and only stopped after a few strokes, and ran to the window to open a gap.

He didn't want the cold air in the air-conditioned room to get out of the room, but the cold air still ran out of the air caused by the heat difference. The moment he opened the window, a warm breeze poured in through the cracks, blowing his face and neck warmly, but his whole body seemed to be in fire and water.

"I'm here, what's the matter?" Riki didn't dare to linger longer, put his hands on his mouth and shouted to his uncle outside the wall.

"Telephone——! There is a phone looking for you! "Uncle Riki is very thin and thin, but he is very loud.

Hearing this, Limu didn't have time to explain to Lu Hui, so he immediately opened the door and ran downstairs.

In this era, not every household is equipped with a telephone, such as the Limu family, only the uncle's store has a telephone. And Lu Hui's family also has telephones in the living room, parents, and sister-in-law's room, and the three telephones in their family share one line, so there is only one number, and if you pick up the flashlight at the same time, you can hear the conversation of all parties. In fact, it is enough for a family to use only one telephone, and at this time, there are still relatively few people who use the phone to talk, and it is difficult to have two people talking at the same time.

The Riki family also wanted to install two more phones, but because the uncle already had a phone downstairs, he usually called or answered as long as he went down to the store (in fact, Riki felt that it was enough trouble to walk up and down). If you want to answer two other calls like the Lu family, it is not possible, Li Jiakang's phone is a commercial phone, and the family calls on it, and there are guests who come to pay for the call, what should I do?

So the grandmother of the head of the family spoke, and the family used the phone in the store, and it was not allowed to waste money on another number!

The phone number on the small grocery store was written when Riki submitted the article, and as soon as he heard that there was a phone number looking for him, he almost instantly thought that it was a reply from the publishing house!
