Chapter Thirty-Six: The Rainstorm Arrives as Scheduled

A few days later.

It has come to the early autumn season, and Rongcheng at this time in the past is the time when autumn is high and cool.

The air is dry and the temperature is suitable, making it very comfortable.

This fall, however, was a bit unusual.

It had just started autumn, and the weather was supposed to be dry, but it rained unusually hard.

"It's raining!"

"It seems that this once-in-a-century flood disaster is about to begin!"

At this time, the torrential rain had been falling for a day and a night.

Looking at the torrential rain outside the window, Qi Guang was relieved and worried.

He breathed a sigh of relief because the heavy rain mentioned in the diary came as scheduled, and the batch of flood control materials he bought would not be smashed in his hands.

However, the worries in Qi Guang's heart were for the entire Rongcheng and even the entire Western Province.

Once Rongcheng is really hit by a heavy rainstorm that has not been seen in a century, then the entire society will face huge losses!

This is the time of year when the grain in the fields is about to be harvested.

If it is hit by heavy rains, it is very likely that the grain production will be greatly reduced, and the farmers who cultivate the land will suffer heavy losses.

And that's not even the worst of it.

If the dams in Rongcheng and even the western province collapse due to heavy rains that have not been seen in a century, then not only will countless farmlands be flooded, but there will be no harvest.

Thousands of people will be displaced and lose their homes!

Before that, Qi Guang hadn't thought about standing up and predicting the impending heavy rainstorm.

However, meteorologists all predict that this year's rainy season in Rongcheng and even in Western Province has passed.

Qi Guang rashly stood up and said that Rongcheng was about to suffer a heavy rainstorm, I'm afraid no one would believe it at all!

It is even possible to be identified as a rumor-monger and arrested directly!

Therefore, Qi Guang could only wait quietly.

Once the heavy rainstorm really happens, then he will immediately use the flood control materials in his hands to help Rongcheng and even the western province get through this difficult situation!

At this time, the weather forecast was playing on the TV.

The announcer's face has lost its usual calmness and calmness, replaced by anxiety and solemnity.

[Since yesterday, the entire territory of our province has been hit by heavy rain. 】

[Now, the torrential rain has been going on for a day and a night, and there is no sign of easing! 】

[Meteorologists say that such heavy rains may continue for several days.] 】

[Our province has sounded the orange alert for heavy rain, please pay attention to your own safety, do not go out unless necessary! ] 】

At this time, most of the residents of Chengdu City did not realize the seriousness of the situation.

Some young people even ignored the pouring rain that was still falling, and the surfboard that they found out of nowhere has already started surfing on Chenghua Avenue!

There are also young girls with good figures, wearing swimsuits and scratching their heads in the rainstorm, and taking small videos of changing clothes to their heart's content!

It's just that when this rainstorm lasts for three whole days, no one has the leisure to surf the streets!

Instead, it was all a deep panic!

"I'm afraid it's not a leak this day! Where did so much rain come from! ”

"When things go wrong, there must be demons! At this time in previous years, the rainy season in Rongcheng had already passed, but I didn't expect that there would be such a heavy rainstorm at this time this year! ”

"My newly bought Mercedes-Benz is parked in the underground garage and has been completely flooded!"

"The car dealers are in ecstasy!"

The Internet has been chaotic, and there are posts of Chengdu residents complaining and asking for help everywhere.

And in the city hall, the atmosphere is also unprecedentedly dignified!

It was late at night, but in the city hall building, the lights were on all night.

The city government has already informed that during the rainstorm, all people will stop taking vacations and not going home, and they will all be on standby in the office!

Always ready to go out and flood control!

In the most central mayor's office, there are a few people sitting on their knees, and the expressions on their faces are extremely solemn!

"Mayor Lin, the weather station has just reported that as of the last 24 hours, the rainfall in Chengdu has exceeded 300 millimeters! On such a scale, it can be regarded as a heavy rainstorm! ”

"Mayor Lin, news has just come from the county that the instantaneous flow of several rivers has exceeded the historical extreme! If this continues, the river and the dam are in danger of collapsing! ”

"Mayor Lin, in the southern outer ring road of Rongcheng, the heavy rain has caused a mudslide disaster! Some sections of the road have been cut off by the collapsed mudslide, and the local traffic has been paralyzed! ”

In front of the mayor, several people were anxiously reporting the disaster situation from various places.

And sitting in the center is the mayor of Rongcheng, Lin Jing's father, Lin Guoqiang!

Lin Guoqiang frowned, and he really felt the huge pressure brought by this rainstorm in his heart.

This time, the rainstorm came so suddenly that even the meteorological department did not warn in advance.

By the time the weather forecast for the rainstorm appeared, the torrential rain had already begun!

"This kind of garbage, you can only make an accurate forecast after a rainstorm, what use do I want you to do!"

Looking at the torrential rain outside the window, Lin Guoqiang scolded the meteorological department in Rongcheng.

However, scolding them now is just a bad anger in my heart, and it will not help Rongcheng in the slightest about the severe flood control situation that Rongcheng is now facing.

Listening to the dangerous situations reported by his subordinates, Lin Guoqiang could only make targeted arrangements one by one, and strive to solve the flood disaster in advance and minimize the loss with the fastest speed and greatest strength!

After making the deployment, Lin Guoqiang said solemnly to the leadership team of the Chengdu City Government.

"This time the rainstorm came very quickly and dangerously!"

"Rongcheng is already mountainous and watery, once we have a systematic flood disaster in Rongcheng, then the city's arable land will not be harvested, our people will not only not be able to harvest a little bit of food, but will lose all the year's investment into it! Such consequences are unimaginable and unacceptable! ”

"All units, departments, leading cadres!"

"You must improve your ideological understanding to defend the height of your own lives and the safety of the lives and property of the people of Rongcheng!"

"No matter what, we must also win this encounter and battle for flood control!"

Lin Guoqiang's mobilization was impassioned, but the leading group of the municipal government and the main persons in charge of various departments and bureaus were still worried.

Among them, Han Keliang, director of the Civil Affairs Bureau in charge of flood control, said with a frown.

"Mayor Lin, Rongcheng is facing such great difficulties now, if you don't mobilize, we will definitely do our best!"

"But it's hard for a good woman to cook without rice!"

"The rain is so heavy that both the fast-flowing river and the dam of the reservoir that has already exceeded the warning line are now in danger of collapsing!"

"We can send people to patrol non-stop to find out these risk points that may cause the levee to burst in time."

"However, our reserves of flood control materials are seriously insufficient! From the time it started to rain until now, the little flood control materials we have in reserve have long been used up! ”

"Now, even if we find the risk point, there is nothing we can do!"

"You can't let the soldiers block it with their flesh and their lives!"

"If we can't find enough flood control materials in time, this time we will be in danger in Rongcheng!"
