Chapter 246: The Rainstorm Strikes
The captain's sudden question made Wang Aiguo fall into deep thought, and he didn't want to answer this question casually. He can deceive everyone, but he can't deceive himself.
If it was before, he could say without hesitation that he would choose to be a hero. Because at that time, he firmly believed that he would never encounter such an opportunity in his life, so what was the psychological burden of just shouting slogans?
But now he is standing in a dangerous place, and he may be in danger at any time. At that point, does he really have the courage to take this step?
The captain looked at Wang Aiguo's thoughtful expression and smiled slightly, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry too much, I'll just ask casually." But let's be honest, if heroes are something to consider, then it will make the word hero seem hypocritical. Only by thinking without thinking and moving with one's own heart is the essence of a hero. ”
"Move with your heart?" Wang Aiguo muttered softly, but he also admitted that maybe the captain was right.
Just like the people of the 11th team, they don't want to be known and remembered, they just do what they think is right.
A lot of times we do things not because of how much we will be rewarded for doing them, but because we think it's the right thing to do, and that's it.
"By the way, what are you doing here?" At this time, the captain suddenly asked.
At this time, Wang Aiguo remembered that he had come out to go to the toilet. He's going to sleep after going to the toilet, he doesn't have that much time to chat now, and he will continue to rescue tomorrow morning.
"I'll go to the bathroom, and I'm going to sleep when I get back, so go to bed Captain, too. Rescue is very physically demanding, and we must rest tomorrow before we can continue to save people. ”
"Well, then I'll go to sleep first." The captain nodded and walked into the tent, and Wang Aiguo hurriedly ran to the nearby toilet to go to the bathroom.
Early the next morning, Wang Aiguo did not wake up naturally, but woke up by feeling the burning pain in his cheeks.
As soon as he opened his eyes, Wang Aiguo saw Dadong and twenty pieces of two iron-blue faces.
Wang Aiguo was stunned for a moment, and said suspiciously: "Squad leader, why do you look at me like this?" ”
"Fatty, I'm really convinced of you. I snored the loudest, but I actually listened to music and slept. Don't you think it's too much for you to behave? Dadong said angrily.
Wang Aiguo took off the earphones in his ears and shook them in front of Dadong and said, "I didn't listen to music, I just used it purely as earbuds." ”
"I don't have time to talk nonsense with you, there's something wrong outside, hurry up." Dadong said nervously.
At this time, Wang Aiguo also realized that the rain outside the tent was very loud.
As soon as Gollum got up from the ground, Wang Aiguo rushed out of the tent with everyone, but as soon as he went out, he found that it was raining heavily outside.
"Hurry up, everyone come and get their shoes, and when you're done, let's go." The captain stood at the front and shouted at the top of his voice.
Wang Aiguo didn't bring a watch or a mobile phone, so he didn't know what time it was. However, judging by the grayness of the sky, it is only five o'clock at most.
After taking the rain boots, Wang Aiguo ran behind the captain. By the way, if it was an ordinary run, Wang Aiguo would not be able to keep up with the captain.
But when you're carrying a lot of life-saving artifacts and wearing a life jacket, and you're running one foot deep and one foot shallow, his speed is no slower than a fitness expert like the captain, and he can even be a little faster.
After all, fat people do carry more weight than thin people.
Everyone was running forward, but suddenly a wave of people appeared in the rain ahead, and they were frantically approaching the people on the East River ship.
Because of the heavy rain, it wasn't until the other party ran to five or six meters away from everyone that everyone found out that the other party was from the Ningcheng Armed Police Brigade.
The captain hurriedly ran to the front of the armed police squadron leader and said loudly: "Brother, why did you run back?" ”
"Comrade Captain, it's really nice to meet you, we're just coming back to call someone. There was another landslide upstream, and there was a small lake on the mountain, but now it was all tilted, causing the water level in the city to skyrocket several times. Now a large number of people are trapped in the road, and our team leader asked me to come over and call people, so that everyone can give priority to rescuing the people trapped in the road. ”
The captain knew the seriousness of this matter as soon as he heard it, so he waved his hand to everyone: "Everyone hurry up, let's go to the city to save people." ”
"Comrade Captain, then I'm sorry for you. I'm going to keep shouting. The squadron leader saluted the captain and continued to run without looking back.
The captain didn't say much, and after returning a military salute, he led everyone to the direction of the city.
The run lasted for an hour, and when we arrived in the city, everyone was shocked.
Nowadays, you can call it Venice in March, but you can't see the road in the city, and everywhere you look is water.
There are many cars stuck in the middle of the road, which have basically been flooded, and some of the people in the cars have escaped, while others are still calling for help on the roofs.
As soon as they saw this, everyone couldn't stand still. Without the command of the captain, everyone dispersed around according to yesterday's deployment and began to rescue people.
Today's water flow is not the same as yesterday, and today's flow is more turbulent. At this time, the slightest negligence may be swept away by the current, and at this time, everyone should be more careful and slower. But in fact everyone is moving more quickly, because everyone knows that the water level upstream is getting higher and higher, and maybe the next second a torrential flash flood will drown everything here.
……
"Pay attention to safety when rescuing, and each squad leader is optimistic about all class members. The captain and technician are optimistic about the squad leaders. Department heads and instructors are optimistic about captains and technicians. Be sure to pay attention to safety!! ”
The captain shouted frantically in the rainstorm, they are soldiers, they are the patron saint of the country. But they are not gods after all, and human beings are still too small in the face of the forces of nature.
Wang Aiguo was holding the safety rope in one hand in the water, and the twenty pieces in front of him in the other, and the front of the twenty pieces was Dadong. And behind Wang Aiguo is a big face grabbing him, and behind the big face is the captain.
In this kind of crisis, the PLA is walking on the edge of hell with a hand behind them, which is an infinite trust in their comrades-in-arms. Everyone believes that in danger, the hand behind him will definitely grab him desperately.
Step by step, Dadong finally approached the trapped bus in front of him.
"Don't worry, everyone, we're here. Don't be anxious, everyone, the old man, the children, the women, go forward, and we will carry you to the shore first. Dadong yelled in the rain.
