Chapter 286: Wave after Wave

The king pigeon waded through the stagnant water from the downstairs to the side of the road.

The community where he lives is relatively high, on a small hillside. Even the downstairs here is already ankle-high water, not to mention some low-lying places.

With several days of heavy rain nearly falling the city, it doesn't seem to be a big deal that government departments have started temporary relocation of residents in low-lying areas or riverside villages.

He was in a hurry, and there was no waterproof measures on his feet, and a pair of sneakers had already been soaked, and there was a lot of water in them. He came to the bus stop next to the road with an umbrella, but fortunately the platform was a little higher than the road and had not been submerged in the water.

Although there is a shed on the bus stop, it means little to the king pigeon - the umbrella can not withstand this downpour at all, even if it is not windy when it rains, the king pigeon's clothes have already been soaked, he can only temporarily hide under the bus stop, pour out the water in the shoes, wait for three or four minutes, only private cars on the road drive slowly, not even a taxi!

There were only two or three people waiting for the bus on the platform, and the situation was similar to that of the king pigeon, and the bus must have been very slow at this time. There are also few pedestrians on both sides of the road, and people choose to hide in their homes after work in the evening.

However, Xiangsha is a magical city. No matter what the situation, it can't stop people from eating, drinking and having fun.

Wang Ge even found a barbecue supper stall that was still open next to the road, the stall owner had set up a lot of canopies, and the charcoal fire of the barbecue was still smoking, but the aroma of the barbecue was diluted by the rain, and there was not much smell.

In order to block the stagnant water from entering the business area under the shed, the stall owner even brought his own sandbags and surrounded his stall shallowly, which really worked, and there was almost no stagnant water under the shed, just wet.

Some passers-by did not dine here, but just hid under this shed to avoid the rain, and the stall owners were also smiling and not rushing people. The citizens also didn't want to go, some gave the stall owner a cigarette and chatted about the rain, and some simply didn't leave, and wanted to have some skewers and two bottles of beer, and then eat a meal first.

The water on the side of the road was bubbling with falling raindrops, and clouds of mist even rose from the ground, and the whole road seemed to be heated and boiled. Wang Ge had no choice but to take out his mobile phone, fortunately, although the mobile phone is cheap, but it seems that the waterproof function is better, he used his mobile phone to call an online car-hailing, fortunately, there are still people to take orders at this time, but this still pays the price of twice the fare.

With such heavy rain, it is not necessary to say how slippery the road surface and vehicle brake pads are, and the outdoor visibility will definitely be greatly reduced.

And the driver in the car basically can't see the outside clearly - even if he drives the wiper as fast as possible, he can't wash all the rain that has smashed on the windshield.

Drivers would rather rest at home for a few days and not make money, rather than forcibly drive in such a situation, if a careless hit something or someone, they have to lose money. If the internal parts of the vehicle are damaged due to entering deep water and need to be overhauled, it is not just a matter of money, I don't know how much time it will be delayed.

The online car-hailing car also came relatively slowly, and Wang Ge waited for seven or eight minutes before a silver-gray Volkswagen hatchback gradually stopped in front of him.

Wang Ge pulled the car door and quickly got in, only to find that his whole body was dripping with water, and it fell on the seat of the taxi.

"Master, I'm sorry. The king pigeon smiled apologetically.

"It's okay, it's like this. I have a seat cover. "The driver, who was in his forties, was a bit bald, and had lost a cigarette to the king pigeon before the car started. "Warm and warm. ”

The king pigeon was embarrassed not to take it, but he just pinched it in his hand and didn't light it.

The radio is broadcasting the traffic channel program of the local radio station in Xiangsha City, "We learned through relevant departments that the Yingpan Road Tunnel in Xiangsha City, Nanhu Road Tunnel two important cross-river passages, all directions of the entrance and exit at six o'clock this morning has been completely closed, our reporter just from the scene to play the news that the two tunnels due to the drainage pipeline blockage, the deepest water height has reached about 1.7 meters, the tunnel mouth of the water visible to the naked eye, has been able to overflow the roof of an ordinary off-road vehicle, the situation is still more dangerous. ”

Another host also said, "Here we also remind the majority of car owners, according to the weather forecast, the heavy rain will last at least a week or so, I hope that all car owners must be cautious when driving, slow down the speed, do not risk wading, encounter the road with water accumulation, as far as possible to choose a detour." ”

"That's right, on the road, safety is the first priority, everyone must pay attention. Next ......"

The taxi driver turned down the sound of the radio, "It's raining so hard that the radio signal is not good." He glanced at the phone navigation on the phone holder.

"The Second Affiliated Hospital of Yaxiang?"

Wang Ge nodded, originally wanted this master to drive a little faster, it is estimated that Tie has probably arrived at the hospital and is waiting for him, but this weather condition makes people drive faster, don't you want people to die!

"Work over there. The king pigeon replied.

"Yo, doctor or nurse?" the driver asked with interest.

"Speaking of which, we're kind of peers. Wang Ge smiled, "The ambulance driver, I didn't arrive at the time, but I came to the task temporarily." ”

The driver hurriedly shook his head, "Hey, we can't be regarded as peers, you drive an ambulance, that's to treat diseases and save lives." I'm a job at best, it's different. ”

The king pigeon laughed again and did not speak.

I don't know if it was the driver who learned that Wang Ge had an emergency mission, and consciously increased the speed, and the time it took for Wang Ge to arrive at the hospital was only three minutes longer than the usual taxi.

In order to make the king pigeon less rainy, the middle-aged driver was not too troublesome, drove the car directly into the hospital compound, and stopped at the gate of the emergency department, and then left in a circle.

Wang Ge trotted all the way into the team office, Tie was probably here, he had changed into the driver's uniform, and he was covered with a hospital-issued jacket, his hair was still wet, and the situation was not much better than that of Wang Ge.

The king pigeon didn't say much, and directly took off the soaked clothes on his body and changed into a dry uniform, which made him feel a little more comfortable.

"Screw it, hang it somewhere, I guess I'll do it when I come back." Tie roughly pointed to a wire hanging in the air in the team's office, which had been bolted to the team's colleagues a few days earlier to dry their clothes.

He picked up the jacket that belonged to the king pigeon from the chair, threw it to the king pigeon, and pointed to the key on the table, "Put on the communication equipment, let's go immediately." ”

"Where is it?" Wang Ge put on his jacket, twisted his original clothes, wiped his soaked hair again, and sneezed a few times with an itchy nose, vaguely feeling that he was going to catch a cold, and he didn't care much, grabbed the water cup and the key and followed behind Tie Rough.

"It's a little far, a little southeast of the Xiangjiang Bridge. The village over there was not lightly flooded, the flood water had already entered the bungalows, the roads were all washed away, and there were no cars to walk, only boats. The government has organized the transfer of people to the nearest hotel. Doctors and ambulances must be present for fear of something going wrong, and medical points must be set up in the lobbies of hotels and hotels to carry out some basic examinations and treatment for the affected people. The nearby hospitals were able to move, but it is estimated that there are two or three thousand people who have been transferred, and the manpower on the scene is far from enough. Iron walked briskly with the king pigeon to the greenhouse in the parking lot.

"Walking south along the Xiangjiang River, the water level is not so high, and it can't be flooded on the road, but there is a lot of water, so pay attention to safety, and communicate with me immediately if there is any situation." Tie roughly opened the door, and before getting into the car, he didn't forget to pat his walkie-talkie and tell the king pigeon.

Wang Ge briefly checked the condition of the ambulance, jumped into the car, found that the fuel was very sufficient, so he turned the key to start the vehicle, first turned on the siren lights, and then turned on the fog lights and double flashes.

Two ambulances stopped at the gate of the emergency department, one after the other, and Jin Jing and the male nurse Feng Ji got into his car.

"Yo, it's so early!" Jin Jing has a lollipop in her mouth, and she still has a ponytail tied behind her head, and her body has grown a lot since she got married. However, she looked haggard, and she was also going to work the night shift, but due to the emergency mobilization order, she came to the hospital in advance and went to the hospital with the car.

"Aren't you Dr. Kim too. Wang Ge said. "What is the rain that has come down is a sin. ”

"Hey, don't mention it. I was also working the evening shift today, and when I saw the rain falling like this, I guess I had to come to work early. Unexpectedly, when I got downstairs, the water actually overflowed into the building, waist-deep! Fortunately, the community people had inflatable rafts, and the pumping machine kept draining the water out, otherwise I would have to swim out! But the people who parked their cars in the underground garage last night were miserable, the entire underground garage was flooded, and the entrance was full of water!" Feng Ji secretly rejoiced, "Thanks to me, I can't afford to buy a car!"

"I finally don't need to go to the scene this time...... Wang Ge drove the ambulance and followed Tie roughly out of the hospital gate, merging into the main road, turning a corner to bypass the intersection where the traffic was seriously congested due to the rain, and speeding directly south.

"The task I received here was to go to a Xiangqiao Hotel over there. I heard that a temporary medical center was set up in the hotel lobby and conference room to provide medical services to the people affected by the disaster. But it is estimated that there will be no operating room in that place. This kind of heavy rain and low temperature may cause symptoms such as colds and fevers, respiratory tract infections, gastrointestinal diseases, and there may not be many cases of internal and external injuries that require surgery. After Jin Jing finished speaking, he then asked, "The ambulance is also on standby at the scene, right?"

"At present, if there is a patient at the scene who cannot be treated, it must be transferred by ambulance to the nearest hospital for further treatment. Most of the time, I'm still on standby. The king pigeon replied.

"Not necessarily. When I was rotating for an internship at a county hospital, I encountered a flood in the summer. At that time, it was really complicated, cold and fever, traumatic fractures, internal injuries and bleeding, severe respiratory infections, drowning, electric shock, if the evacuation was not well organized, or the movement was a little slower, the casualties were still very serious, and it was estimated that the situation was not as simple as we thought. Feng Ji said as he looked through the glass of the back door of the ambulance car at the raindrops that kept falling outside. "Listening to what was said in the news, it was said that this rain was not encountered in a hundred years. ”

Jin Jing scoffed, "The news says every day that it will not happen in a hundred years, and it will not happen in a thousand years, where is it reliable." ”

"But don't say it, I've never seen Xiangsha City flooded like this when I'm so big, I hope there won't be too many people injured. Wang Ge said.

The ambulance in front of you is not moving fast, and in these weather conditions, you can't get up fast even if you want to. So the king pigeon followed his car, and it wasn't too fast, hovering between 70 and 80 kilometers per hour.

The three people in the car chatted without saying a word all the way, and the ambulance drove for more than 40 minutes before arriving at the Xiangqiao Hotel.

The hotel is open in this location, far away from the urban area, to the south is the township and countryside, the conditions are general, there is nothing around, few people come to consume, mainly for the business personnel who come to the surrounding towns and towns of Xiangsha City to inspect and invest, usually deserted. But now, this Xiangqiao Hotel is overcrowded.

Police cars, ambulances, and military vehicles were parked outside the entrance of the hotel, and a bus was parked at the main entrance, and people affected by the disaster got out of the car carrying large bags and small bags. However, it can be seen that the government's propaganda is relatively good when carrying out the transfer of people, and almost all families only bring a suitcase, or backpack, some only carry mobile phones and chargers, and some belongings, and their hands are empty.

In this case, life always comes first, and everything else is secondary.

The government paid for the hotel to be fully chartered and provided for the affected people to live in. There are many such places nearby, hotels are far from enough, and other victims are also arranged in schools and sports venues. In summer, the temperature is not very low, and it is okay to sleep for a few days on the floor, and there are staff on site, so the affected people will be better taken care of.

In addition to this, there are many people who are still stranded by the river, staying in front of the embankment, waving shovels and carrying sandbags to the embankment. They are active in the front line of flood fighting, trying to use their bodies to prevent the occurrence of this disaster, and do their best to ensure the safety of people's lives and property.
