Chapter 48: Levels
Wu Bin was woken up by the heat in a daze, only to feel a splitting headache, his head was as if he had been filled with lead water, extremely heavy, wiped a handful of sweat from his forehead with his hand, and opened his swollen eyes with difficulty.
The dilapidated electric fan stood alone in the corner, and the fan blades that should have been turning looked silently at the sweat on Wu Bin's forehead, as if telling its helplessness.
Wu Bin went up and fiddled with it a few times, it was indeed broken, and this old antique was estimated to be scrapped.
Wiping the sweat from his cuffs and picking up a magazine, he felt weak and struggled to swing his arms, bringing a little coolness.
In the past few months, he has not been able to get a good night's sleep almost every day, because he is the people's police, and those difficult things must be handled by them.
This time, there was a major rat infestation in U County, and he was urgently transferred to supplement the police force, and now he is assisting the traffic police on the highway to intercept some people who want to come in and join in the fun.
This is a temporary foam board house, built in front of a temporary checkpoint, but it has just been turned on, there is no air conditioning and no water source, and you can only fan an electric fan to drink pure water, and the conditions are very simple.
After a few sips of water, he looked at the time, put on his hat and walked out of the room into the heatwave, it was time for him to go on duty.
It's one o'clock in the afternoon, on this kind of hot road, if there is no fan next to it to cool down, it will definitely be heat stroke, Wu Bin is also thinking about his dizziness now, is it a sign of heat stroke, or the weather is too hot, the natural reaction of the human body?
At the intersection, there is a yellow railing, horizontal on the road, like the kind at the toll booth, blocking the traffic coming and going.
The warning lights are flashing constantly, and there are several warning signs more than 100 meters away, so that the passing vehicles can slow down, and they need to be checked before they can pass.
Under the big yellow umbrella, there is a tall traffic policeman, even if there is an electric fan next to him, his back is completely soaked, because the air is hot, and the wind that comes out of the fan is also hot, and the temperature cannot be lowered much at all.
"Li Long, it's hard work, go and rest, I'll leave it to me here."
Li Long is a few points taller than Wu Bin, his skin is tanned, his body is sturdy, he looks honest, he is a local traffic policeman, he is very hard-working, and he took the initiative to ask to come here on duty, and the two got along well in a few days.
Li Long nodded, gave up the place, and was about to leave.
"Oh, I almost forgot, the fan in the lounge is broken, you tell them to send a good one quickly, don't use that old antique anymore, it's a day when things go wrong."
"Well, okay, I'd like to go sleep for a while, and if it's my turn, remember to call me."
"Yes, you can go quickly!"
The two of them are on the day shift this week, and they will change to another shift at seven o'clock in the evening, and the place where they are on duty is at an intersection into U County, and there are many such intersections, all of which are guarded.
Although it has been strictly stated that people who are not from U County are not allowed to enter without reason, so as not to cause traffic congestion to the local area and avoid danger, it still can't stop the curiosity of some guys, and many out-of-town vehicles want to try to enter and see the so-called rat plague every day.
Wu Bin stood in the middle of the road, the cement pavement below is like the bottom of a burning pot, constantly dissipating heat, making people like a steamer, only less than a minute, sweat will wet his back, if it weren't for a big umbrella to block the sun, and a fan blowing next to him, maybe he couldn't stand it a long time ago, even then he drank hot salt water from time to time to replenish the rapid loss of water.
From time to time, vehicles came over, most of them were vehicles transporting supplies, they were all arranged by the government, and they could naturally pass, and he had been on duty for half an hour, and he had not yet encountered a car that wanted to go in and watch the excitement.
When the news of the rat plague was just released the day before yesterday, many people from other places poured into U County, and later the army that took over the local security took timely measures to curb this bad phenomenon.
In the past two days, the number of people has gradually decreased, and in the morning I came across one and stopped it, and now, it is almost gone.
As soon as a large truck was released, Wu Bin saw a green off-road vehicle coming, and stopped after seeing Wu Bin's gesture.
Seeing that there were two young people who were about the same age as him in the car, he probably ran over with curiosity, and he had stopped a lot of such people in the past few days.
Lu Tian opened the car window, and the heat wave rushed in, Wu Bin felt a chill coming, and he felt a lot more comfortable.
still patiently explained: "Two, please go back, the county is plagued with rats, it's too dangerous, so I won't let you in!" This is also for your own good, you can't help if you go, but it may add chaos and increase the intensity of our work. ”
Lu Tian listened and looked back, he didn't expect that there would be a checkpoint on the road, so let Zhou Cheng solve it, he would be better off with officialdom.
"Look at what I'm doing, aren't you in the army, show him your military ID?"
Zhou Cheng obviously didn't want to move, so he pretended to sleep there.
"You don't know, that certificate is not recognizable to ordinary people, how do you tell others to believe it, hurry up! We're all here, we can't go back! ”
Hearing Lu Tian say this, he finally sat up reluctantly, picked up his mobile phone, and started to make calls.
Lu Tian turned around and smiled and explained to the young policeman: "We didn't come here casually, now he is calling someone to prove it to us, the police officer will wait a minute, see that you are so hot, let's have a bottle of ice water!"
As he spoke, Lu Tian took out a bottle of ice water from the small refrigerator in the car and handed it to Wu Bin.
Wu Bin drank a lot of water, but the weather was too hot, and he always felt that he couldn't quench his thirst.
"Thanks!"
Wu Bin was not reserved, took a big mouthful of Yangtian, only to feel a coolness rushing directly from his mouth to his stomach, and then turned his head and praised it.
"Cool!"
Lu Tian smiled, and knew that they were also duty on such a hot day.
"It's not easy for a police officer, this hot day is admirable, in Xia Lutian, I want to get acquainted with Brother Tai, I don't know what Brother Tai's name is."
"Wu Bin, he is a sentry."
"You are too modest, if you don't stand guard so hard, how can there be social stability."
"It's a joke, as a people's policeman, I should be on the front line."
Wu Bin doesn't feel how bitter he is, if he doesn't do these things, who will do them?
A trace of admiration flashed in Lu Tian's eyes, because he carefully observed with his spiritual power, what this person said came from the bottom of his heart, and he didn't deliberately brag and say big things, which was really rare.
"Look at my brother who doesn't have time on duty now, otherwise I must invite you to a few drinks!"
"Not now, I'll definitely invite you when I meet you next time."
Wu Bin has been on duty for the past two days, and he needs to rest well at night, and he really can't leave.
"Lu Tian, I called and asked, it just so happened that my fourth uncle was here, and he would arrange it later."
Zhou Cheng had a bitter face, and he didn't know if he was scolded by his fourth uncle.
"Hey, Captain? Okay, I see. ”
Wu Bin said a few words to the people in the communicator with a somewhat righteous face, and then said to Lu Tian: "It's okay, you guys go, I must have a few drinks with you if I have a chance."
"Thanks, let's have another bottle of ice water, there will be a period later!"
Lu Tian saw that the ice water he had just given him was almost finished, and he took a bottle again, this water can't be left for a long time, otherwise it is no different from ordinary water, otherwise Lu Tian can take it all out.
Bidding farewell to Lu Tian, Wu Bin stood straight again, not slacking off because of the lack of supervision, like a big tree, guarding the intersection.
