Chapter Ninety-Six: Natural Disaster
The village has organized a flood fighting team, and the water of the two moats in Canghe City has exceeded the warning water level, and the city has organized young and middle-aged men from various districts and villages along the river embankment to go up the river embankment day and night to take care of it.
Zhang Lan's mother called Zhang Lan's aunt, Zhang Lan's aunt was piling sandbags on the river embankment, and now the river water there was less than a meter away from overflowing the river embankment, and now the river embankment was brightly lit at night, and people patrolled back and forth around the clock.
The Canghe Reservoir is now flowing outward, and the reason for the delay in discharging the flood down is that Canghe City can no longer bear it.
Although the river has been being renovated since last year, this year's rain has been too heavy. And it's been down for too long. Now the windows on the back wall of Zhang Lan's house have begun to seep water into the house.
In the words of Zhang Lan's father, the rain has penetrated the red brick walls of the house.
Now the situation in Canghe City is becoming more and more urgent. Fortunately, after a few days of continuous rain, it began to clear for two days. But now that all the reservoirs in the mountains are full, there is basically no capacity to store water in case of any more rain.
Canghe City is located in the downstream of Xiangshi, and now the situation in Xiangshi is not optimistic, and the roads in the northern ring of Xiangshi have been generally waterlogged, and in some places it has even reached thigh-deep depth.
After two days of clearing, the situation that everyone did not want to see came, and the weather forecast was a few days of heavy rainfall, which made everyone's nerves tense.
In the old house, Zhang Lan directly unplugged the power cord of the machine well in the courtyard. Now that the water in the well is gushing out directly from the wellhead, Zhang Lan explored the underground waterway, and as expected, all of it was full.
The river in front of the courtyard is almost flush with the road, this is a small reservoir in the west mountain is discharging floodwater, village cadres and party members are already on duty day and night, and all the households along the river have been cleared.
Most of the city's urban areas are now flooded, and some low-lying areas have begun to move people outward. The rescue information in the rescue group has begun to swipe the screen.
Except for the river, other places in Castle Peak Village have not been affected by the topography of the river. After talking to her parents, Zhang Lan drove to the city and began to participate in the rescue.
During the day, he followed the rescue team to evacuate residents in the low-lying areas of the city, and at night he began to quietly patrol the two moat embankments. Use spells to fill in the leaks in the river embankment holes you see, and use spells to quietly strengthen the dangerous places that are about to collapse.
Canghe City is known as a thousand-year-old city, the existence of two moats, plus the dredging of the moat that began last year. After a few days of heavy rain, the water level in the main area did not continue to rise after the roads in the main area reached the thighs, and it was considered to be a thrilling pass.
The weather is starting to clear up and the weather forecast is no more rain for the next few days. After several days of non-stop rescue, Zhang Lan finally breathed a sigh of relief. I'm going to retrieve the Wrangler who drove to the high terrain before, and go home to have a look.
Driving back home, Zhang Lan's mother was very concerned, although there has been telephone communication, but the torrential rain in the last few days led to flash floods, coupled with landslides, the entire mountainous area is a large-scale power outage. Roads in the mountains have now been washed away, and some villages are missing when it rained before.
Zhang Lan's bottled water plant has been shut down, and the factory is now leaking everywhere. My mother had the machine covered with a plastic tarpaulin to wait for the weather to clear for a while before starting work, and now she is preparing to replace some of the tin tiles on the roof.
At about ten o'clock in the evening, when Zhang Lan was looking at his mobile phone and preparing to rest, Cai Yong, the captain of the love rescue group, kept sending emergency rescue messages and gave everyone a special touch.
Zhang Lan opened the WeChat group and saw that the group was already chaotic. The village of Shanglin, which is next to a moat on the edge of the city, has now been flooded into the village, and the entire village has been flooded. On the street of the wholesale vegetable market, the lowest in the village, the deepest part of the flood has reached the roof of the first floor of the house. Now everybody's rushing there.
Zhang Lan hurriedly got dressed, said to her mother, and then drove to Shanglin Village. While driving on the road, he asked in the group, "Where did such a big flood come from?" Why is there no news at all? ”
No one knew the specific information, the only thing they knew was that Shanglin Village was besieged by the rapid flood, and most of the people in the village have not yet been moved.
Driving to the vicinity of Shanglin Village, I saw bright lights and various construction machinery vehicles roaring from a distance. Zhang Lan found an unobstructed place to park the car, put on a reflective vest, took a flashlight and a rescue rope and walked forward.
The entire village is now without power, and the lights are now powered by generators. Zhang Lan turned on the flashlight and shook it around, and there was a yellow and reflective flood everywhere.
After discussing with several rescue team members who arrived, Zhang Lan's heart was cold. Relief supplies were scarce, with only one assault boat and four or five kayaks. Now, under the leadership of villagers who are familiar with the road conditions, forklifts and large trucks are used to evacuate the stranded residents in the shallow water. As for the street of the wholesale vegetable market, where the flood is deepest, the village cadres are now sitting in assault boats and using loudspeakers, while rescuing people, directing residents to hide on the roof of the building first.
There are only two kayaks in the entire love rescue team, and they are already carrying out rescues. Zhang Lan looked at the people who kept coming to the rescue from all directions, and after talking to the team members, he turned around and left.
Zhang Lan returned to the car, took off the reflective vest, and put back the rescue supplies he was carrying. Then he locked the car door and quietly began to rush to the village.
Avoid the noisy crowds and wade through the water to a dark place. After stopping and listening to the fact that there was no one around, the panel appeared in front of Zhang Lan's eyes, and his merit began to decline rapidly.
A ray of light wrapped Zhang Lan's figure, and then a figure appeared. Zhang Lan silently recited in his heart 'Nine Heavens of Agility', 'Heavenly God Protector', 'Lotus Blossom Mystic Method', 'Indigo Sea' and 'Tornado Rain', as the ribbon between his arms waved, Zhang Lan rolled up a stream of water to wrap his figure, and then the ribbon continued to wave, and a thin and invisible stream of water began to probe around the village.
Zhang Lan wanted to probe and see where the flood came from. If you save people, it is summer now, most of the people have not rested at more than ten o'clock, so many people have arrived at the scene, if it were not for the lack of transportation rescue tools, the rescue has basically been completed. So now Zhang Lan is looking to see where the flood came from, and whether it will continue to expand. There is also the question of whether there are residents who live alone or go to bed early who are trapped by the flood.
After a while, Zhang Lan found an old man who was trapped in a tin house, and after investigating the old man's condition, a small stream of light red water containing the breath of 'Pudu sentient beings' quickly flowed towards the old man.
