By six o'clock in the afternoon, it was completely dark.

On the embankment at the head of the bridge, bright gas lamps were lit. This is a kind of oil-burning lamp, which is so bright that even if it rains heavily, as long as it is covered with it, it will not affect its use. A gas lamp can illuminate a radius of more than ten meters as if it were daylight.

Zhou Ziqi had not yet come to the embankment, and was still organizing the last group of villagers to retreat in the village, Deputy Secretary Kang and Peng Na stood beside Fan Hongyu, and reporter Yan ran around, filming various scenes of the commandos' work.

At more than seven o'clock, the surface of the lake, which was originally turbid and rolling, suddenly became quiet, and the rows of waves that beat the embankment stopped.

Peng Na also noticed and asked strangely, "What's going on?" ”

Fan Hongyu looked serious and said, "Hong Feng is about to arrive." Nana, go back to town, there could be danger here. ”

County Magistrate Fan has already experienced two flood peaks, so he has some experience.

Peng Na bit her lip and whispered, "I won't leave, I'll accompany you!" ”

Fan Hongyu turned his head to look at her, the expression in Peng Na's eyes was very resolute, there was no one else around, Peng Na did not hide her love for Fan Hongyu at all, and her delicate and lovely face shone with a shining look.

Fan Hongyu shook his head lightly, reached out and patted her head under the raincoat, and didn't say anything more.

Penna leaned closer to him again.

A moment later, a muffled thunderous roar came from afar, like the roar of thunder and lightning in the distant sky before a rainstorm. Immediately, a vague black line appeared on the black surface of the lake in the distance, and even if the sky was so dark, it could be faintly noticed.

The roar grew clearer and louder.

Such as the drum vibrating. Coming from the ground.

The commandos who were struggling to tie up the steel frame on the embankment couldn't help but stop, stood up, and looked at the vast lake together.

In the blink of an eye, the black line became thicker and thicker.

Huge waves like mountain peaks swooped down like high-speed trains.

Peng Na's mouth opened slightly, and she couldn't help but hold Fan Hongyu's arm tightly.

"Boom"!

The first row of huge waves crashed against the levee, splashing the water.

Peng Na exclaimed, her head drilled into Fan Hongyu's arms, and the dense droplets of water splashed all over people's faces like a waterfall. Wait for no one to come back to their senses. The second row of waves crashed again.

"Boom"!

The whole embankment was trembling faintly.

"This ...... Is it Hong Feng? ”

Peng Na looked up, shocked, and asked in a trembling voice.

"Well, it seems that this time the flood peak is more powerful than the previous two times...... I don't know if all the villagers in Qiaotou have been transferred? ”

Seeing the melancholy on Fan Hongyu's face, Peng Na's original firm confidence suddenly wavered, and in the face of the vastness of nature, Peng Na realized that manpower would really be poor sometimes. The hundreds of people who stuck to the embankment were in front of the mountain-like flood peaks. Truly as fragile as an ant. Fighting floods with the "Great Wall of Flesh" will always be just a media slogan.

Peng Na felt that if she used the term "Great Wall of Flesh and Blood" in her future writings, she was afraid that it would cause certain psychological barriers.

The intermittent period when the flood peak hits the embankment. The commandos on the embankment came to their senses and shouted loudly, and a dozen or so people worked together to push the tied iron platoons into the water.

"Wait a minute!"

Fan Hongyu shouted. Hurried over.

The commandos looked at the magistrate in unison, waiting for his instructions.

"Look at the location of the pipe gushing and then push it down, don't act blindly. We have limited resources......"

These iron chops. It is specially used to block the pipe surge, no matter how much it is pushed into the water, it will not play any role.

If the county magistrate's command was determined, the team members immediately calmed down.

After about a few tens of minutes, the wave gradually weakened a few points, and the water level rose rapidly.

Peng Na then made up her mind, looked at the huge whirlpool under her feet, and asked, "Has the flood peak passed?" ”

Fan Hongyu shook his head and said, "This is just the beginning, it was just the vanguard just now, and now it's time for the main force to play." ”

"Will there be bigger waves?"

Peng Na said in surprise.

It felt like the flood was right at her feet, just a step away from the top of the levee. If another huge wave hits, even if it can't break the embankment, I'm afraid that it will wash everyone on the embankment down.

"There will be no more big waves."

"So, can you hold it?"

Fan Hongyu couldn't help but smile lightly and said: "It's not like this, if the embankment really bursts, it will not be washed away by the big waves, but crushed." Don't look at the big waves on the lake, they are not too destructive. Really great power, underwater. How much pressure should there be in more than 20 billion cubic meters of water? If the inside of the embankment is hollow, the soil is soaked by the lake water, and the lake water gradually penetrates into it, and the soil layer becomes thinner and thinner, and it cannot withstand the pressure of the lake water, and it will step down. ”

Penna whispered, "I see, it's like the principle of a volcanic eruption." Where the crust is thinnest, volcanoes erupt. ”

"Yes, that's it...... Why hasn't Zhou Ziqi come back yet? The masses haven't been transferred yet? ”

Fan Hongyu's face once again showed anxiety.

Peng Na comforted: "Don't worry, the crowd will leave." They live by the lake, know the power of the flood better than we do, and don't joke with their lives. ”

"I hope so."

Fan Hongyu strode forward to check the pipe surge in the embankment. In the section of the embankment where the pipe surge is more obvious, the commandos were instructed to push the iron platoons into the water one by one. The water level is still rising, getting closer and closer to the top of the embankment.

At ten o'clock in the evening, Deputy Secretary Kang suddenly ran over, his face was pale and gray, he was wheezing, and said in a low voice: "County Magistrate Fan, it may not be able to withstand it over there, Guan Yong, Guan Yong is already the size of a water tank......

Fan Hongyu's face changed, and he turned his head to Peng Na and said, "Nana, you go immediately." Lao Kang, let's go over there and have a look......"

Then he opened his two long legs and walked towards that side quickly.

Penna gritted her teeth and trotted to follow.

Dozens of commandos stared at the side of the embankment in a daze, empty-handed. All the iron rows pushed down the water, but the pipe gushing still couldn't stop, and a column of water was bigger than the mouth of the water tank. Erupting from the outside of the embankment, the stone walls around the mouth of the pipe gushing also kept leaking outward, and the fine lines spread out in all directions like spider webs.

"Lao Kang, what do you think?"

Fan Hongyu frowned and asked in a low voice.

Lao Kang took a deep breath and said, "County Magistrate Fan, all the iron platoons have been used up...... I suggest retreating immediately. ”

"Okay."

Fan Hongyu didn't hesitate. He bowed his head slightly, then raised his head and issued orders loudly.

"All the people on the embankment, all retreat. None of them are allowed to stay...... Everyone evacuated to the town in an orderly manner, not to be chaotic, not to be crowded, and to leave one by one...... Lao Kang, you go to the front to maintain order. ”

"Yes. County Magistrate Fan, you and Reporter Peng should go first. I'm here after the break. Secretary Lu said that you must ensure your safety. ”

Deputy Secretary Kang said very sincerely.

"Less nonsense, hurry up, and carry out the order immediately."

Fan Hongyu roared. The tone became extremely harsh.

At this point, he didn't have time to be polite.

Deputy Secretary Kang shrank his neck in fright, said nothing, and began to organize the retreat of the commandos on the embankment. A handful of stubborn young people still refuse to leave. begged Fan Hongyu to fight again, but he couldn't resist retreating again.

It's many days. They eat and live on the embankment, not to mention that they have feelings for this embankment, at least it has taken countless efforts. Now that Fan Hongyu has ordered a retreat, all his hard work has been ruined, and he is really a little unwilling.

Fan Hongyu did not hesitate to refuse, and forcibly ordered them to leave the embankment immediately.

Penna followed him closely, motionless.

Fan Hongyu no longer urged her.

Peng Na's affection for him, how could he not feel it? At such a moment, let her stay by her side. There is a time when it is useless to reason with a girl, and it is even more useless to reason with a girl who is in an unrequited love.

For Fan Hongyu, it was a completely unknown world.

Let's advance and retreat together.

The commandos retreated under the embankment in an orderly manner, Fan Hongyu watched them leave, and there were fewer and fewer people on the embankment, Fan Hongyu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, he only felt a sudden tremor under his feet, and Fan Hongyu immediately looked down, only to see that the hard cement pavement had cracked a small gap, gradually spreading into the distance. Although Fan Hongyu had no experience working in the Lake District, he immediately realized that this was a harbinger of a levee burst.

"Nana, run ......"

Fan Hongyu didn't hesitate any longer, pulled Penna's small hand, and strode down the embankment.

Behind him, there was a clear sound of a hard object cracking.

"County Magistrate Fan, run, ......"

Some of the commandos who had retreated into the distance also heard this chilling cracking sound, and hurriedly turned around, and immediately saw a scene that stunned everyone.

The whole section of the embankment suddenly shattered like an eggshell, and the stone wall protruded outward, and then all of them swelled open, and the surging flood rushed down the mouth of the embankment.

A loud rumbling sound sounded behind him.

Fan Hongyu didn't look back, pulling Peng Na and running away.

"Oops......"

Peng Na suddenly exclaimed, Fan Hongyu only felt a tightness in his hand, and then the whole person was taken to the side.

At this critical juncture, Penna tripped over a large piece of wood.

Both men fell to the ground at the same time.

As soon as the flood surged forward, they were quickly swept in.

Fan Hongyu stretched out his hand and grabbed the end of the wood.

Another big wave hit, and the palm of Peng Na's hand slid down, and Peng Na exclaimed again.

"Nana ......"

Fan Hongyu only felt that his heart tightened suddenly, his mind was blank in an instant, and he didn't think about it, he kicked his feet and struggled to rush in the direction of Peng Na.

The raging flood overwhelmed them in an instant.

ps: The cold is so bad, the doctor said that you don't need to take injections, just take medicine. I really shouldn't believe him, now I'm completely dizzy, my nose is plugged, I open my mouth to breathe like a fat mermaid, I don't know what to do...... It's better to go for an infusion! (To be continued......)
