Chapter Ninety-Eight: Speechless (2)

If it was not clear last night, then it is now past six o'clock, and drones and helicopters can be seen, how can you still say that. Zhang Lan didn't believe that there were floods in the southwest of the entire Canghe City, and the city leaders would not know what the reason for these words was.

Zhang Lan flipped through her mobile phone and then watched the next video released by this media account, and looked at the introduction of the narrator, Zhang Lan roughly understood. The embankment on the west side of Canghe City is still intact, and in the eyes of the leaders, it seems that the occasional flooding should soon flow out of the downstream river.

If the flood is blocked, the downstream is still draining, and the rain is no longer raining, doesn't that mean that the water level will get lower and lower?

It is nearly a dozen kilometers from the breach to Canghe City, what is the use of only sealing that part of the river embankment in the urban area, and now the flood has spread along the road and farmland at the junction of the two cities, and the middle few kilometers of the river and the land on both sides have been flat.

I hope that the idea of the city leaders is right, although he is pessimistic, Zhang Lan still hopes that there will be a good ending. After eating, Zhang Lan continued to drive to the road in front of Shanglin Village, and before he walked to the place where he parked yesterday, there was already calf-deep water on both sides of the road.

Zhang Lan in the car breathed a sigh of relief, in the current situation, the so-called water level in the city will drop Zhang Lan has completely disbelieved it.

drove along the outer ring road to the city, and after going around twice, I inquired with a traffic police officer who was in a rescue vehicle on the side of the road. There is still one way into the city. Looking at the stalled car, Zhang Lan turned the front of the car for a moment, pulled out the tow hook and dragged the car to a place where there was no water.

Stopped the car and put away the tow hook, took out his mobile phone and looked at it, but fortunately there was a signal. I hurriedly called my mother and told her to call her relatives in the city again, and it was impossible for the water level to drop. It will only get higher and higher, and now while the road can still walk, Zhang Lan can pick them up if he goes, and he will drive into the city immediately.

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Lan took out a cigarette, took out one and handed it to the traffic police next to him. Seeing that his eyes were red, it was estimated that he hadn't slept well in the past few days, the traffic police waved his hand at him, and Zhang Lan put away the cigarette.

Most of the roads in the city are blocked, except for some high-chassis vehicles, ordinary family cars cannot enter the city at all.

The water where Zhang Lan asked for directions before had reached the calf, and except for a few trucks occasionally, there were basically no cars passing by.

I asked the traffic police, he came to direct the traffic after the water was deep this morning, and he will go to another place after someone from the nearby village arrives later.

After returning to the car, the phone rang, and it was Zhang Lan's mother calling. His mother said that Zhang Lan's aunt Li Xiulan is now in the community in the city, and the community has been cut off from water and electricity, and his aunt is now at home with Zhang Lan's cousin Yang Jingjing, and asked Zhang Lan where to pick them up.

Zhang Lan thought for a while and said, "I'll call my aunt when I get to the city in a while, and you don't have to worry about it." I'll be in the city later, and I don't know where I'll be going now. ”

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Lan drove to the city. I had just driven the moat bridge, and I didn't drive far from the bridge when I was stopped by someone in front of me. Tell him that the water on the road ahead has reached his thighs, and that the small cars can't go except for the big trucks and forklifts.

Zhang Lan looked at the surrounding situation and found a place to stop the car. After locking the car, I called my aunt and asked her to pack her things, and he waded over to pick them up.

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Lan called Zhang Hu, originally wanting to ask him about the store, but he was anxiously dealing with the moat. It just happened that there was a flood this year, and the dredging of the moat was finally contracted by him, and many things could not be said clearly, Zhang Lan hung up the phone after chatting with Zhang Lan for a few words.

Zhang Lan took a ride in the city to drive a truck back and forth to rescue people, and told the driver to let him help use the walkie-talkie to inform him, and if someone went to the west to send people off, he would pass by the community here. Wading water to the downstairs of my aunt's house, the water in the community has reached the knee level, and the entrance and exit of the underground garage cannot be sealed at all, no wonder there will be water and power outages.

walked up to the 8th floor, and when she arrived at the door, Aunt Zhang Lan had already packed up her things. Zhang Lan looked at the huge suitcase and hurriedly stopped it, and when he went downstairs, he had to wade away, and it was best to put the contents of the box in a large plastic bag.

After listening to Zhang Lan's words, Aunt Zhang Lan took the things out of the suitcase again. Zhang Lan watched from the side, picked out all the things at home, and finally didn't bring anything except clothes and facial cleanser.

The packed things were packed in large plastic bags, then two more, and finally into a fertilizer bag. Zhang Lan couldn't help but smile and said, "Auntie didn't expect you to have this bag at home." ”

"A few years ago, I was also a farmer, and now I still have an old house on the hill in my hometown. It's normal to have this bag, it's easy to use and convenient. Aunt Zhang Lan said while holding a rope and tying a belt.

Zhang Lan carried the bag to her shoulder, turned her head and said to her aunt Li Xiulan: "Let's go, auntie, go downstairs and take a ride." Leave early, be relieved early. ”

When she got downstairs, Zhang Lan grabbed the bag on her shoulder with one hand, and her aunt Li Xiulan pulled her cousin Yang Jingjing and waded through the water to the gate of the community, where a large truck was parked at the gate of the community to pull people. I asked, and the driver heard from the walkie-talkie that someone was going to leave before he turned around.

The three climbed into the big truck, Zhang Lan put the bag on the car, turned around and began to pull the others into the car. After waiting for half an hour, when the car was almost full, the driver drove everyone to the west embankment.

Zhang Lan carried the bag and led her aunt and cousin Yang Jingjing to the side of the car and put the things in the car. started the car and turned around, put down the window by the way and asked the crowd next to him if they had gone to the direction of Qingshan Village, and after three more people got in the car, Zhang Lan drove out of the city.

The phone rang on the road, Zhang Lan looked at her mother Li Ying, and handed the phone to the co-pilot's aunt after connecting. You don't have to ask to know what your mother wants to ask, and whoever picks it up is the same.

The two sisters chatted on the phone, and Zhang Lan said while driving: "Auntie, do you ask my mother and aunt where to pick it up?" If you pick it up, let her pack her things and come out to find a big car that pulls people on the side of the road. Hitchhike to the bridge just now, and I'll turn around and pick them up in a moment. ”

Aunt Zhang Lan asked on the phone and said, "Aunt Kai said, you don't have to worry about Aunt Kai, she now has water, electricity and Internet at home." The eldest aunt is now watching by the river embankment, and now the family has packed everything up, and the car has driven to the national highway east of the city. The national highway to the east of the city is on high ground, and there is no water there. When the embankment could not be saved, they went directly to the national highway and drove around at high speed. ”

"Don't worry about it, then it'll be fine." Zhang Lan said a word and drove the car to continue home.
