A thunderclap fell from the sky, illuminating the dim city of Haijin as smooth as day.

And this thunder also seemed to awaken more memories in Ye Fei's mind in an instant.

In 1998, he remembers that it was the middle of August, which is the time period now, and there were unprecedented floods everywhere.

That year, the economic losses caused by the floods in Haijin and Fengyang alone did not allow the local finances to recover for several years.

The Jinyang River, which runs between Haijin City and Fengyang City, is also the river that will make the two places a share.

At this time, the water level of the Jinyang River has exceeded the warning line many days ago, but the citizens of the two places still do not think so, because there has been a problem with the river for hundreds of years, and after the construction of the river embankment in recent years, people will not think that there will be a phenomenon of breaking the embankment.

Only Ye Fei knew that the current situation of the Jinyang River was very critical, and it would appear at any time, and there would inevitably be a burst of the embankment.

So he immediately dialed Zheng Gang's phone.

As soon as the phone was connected, Ye Fei said directly: "Mayor Zheng, I have a very urgent matter now, and I must see you." ”

Coincidentally, Zheng Gang happened to be inspecting the embankment of the Jinyang River at this time, but from his tone, he couldn't tell that he was nervous.

"Boss Ye, I'm inspecting the embankment of the Jinyang River now, and it may take two hours to go back, why don't you wait a little longer?"

"No, I'll go find you right now."

Hanging up the phone, Ye Fei went straight to Jinyang River.

He saw that although the water level in the river was still about ten meters away from the embankment, it was already a high level that he had never seen before.

"Boss Ye, what is the matter with me?" Zheng Gang asked.

But Ye Fei directly asked: "Mayor Zheng, is Jinyang River in danger now?" ”

Zheng Gang said with a relaxed face: "There will be no danger in the Jinyang River, although the water level is very high now, we still have a river embankment ten meters wide, even if the water level rises a few meters more, there will be no danger." ”

The person from the water conservancy department who accompanied him also said: "We have strengthened the river embankment over the years, and there will be no problem, and when the rain is a little lighter, the water level should drop soon." ”

"But what if the rain continues?"

When Zheng Gang and the people from the water conservancy department heard this, their brows tightened.

But Zheng Gang still smiled and said: "Impossible, it is recorded in the county records of Haijin City that there has been no flood for hundreds of years, besides, how can this rain not stop for several days." ”

"I mean, if there is a phenomenon of levee bursting, what should we do about it, and whether the sandbags for our embankment in Haijin City are enough."

Zheng Gang turned his head to look at the people from the water conservancy department, and replied alone: "If it's true...... If there is a phenomenon of bursting the embankment, it also depends on how big the opening is, and we are prepared to have sandbags. ”

Zheng Gang smiled again and said to the people around him: "See, our Boss Ye is already busy enough to do business, and he is still worried about the affairs of your water conservancy department, no wonder everyone says that Boss Ye is the second mayor of our Haijin City." ”

When the people around him heard this, they immediately laughed.

But at this time, only Ye Fei couldn't laugh, he didn't know how to convince these people and let them know that the levee would break soon.

"Come on, Boss Ye, you've also inspected, what else is there to ......worry about?"

Before Zheng Gang finished speaking, his mobile phone suddenly rang.

When Ye Fei saw him pick up the phone, his brows tightened.

It turned out that the mayor of Fengyang City, Li Yongan, was on the other end of the phone.

He called to ask if there were many sandbags prepared in Haijin City, because on the embankment of Fengyang City on the other side of the Jinyang River, there were already signs of a dike breaking.

After hanging up the phone, he immediately ordered the people around him: "Quick, send our extra sandbags to the other side immediately, there has been water seepage on the river embankment in Fengyang City." ”

But the people around him glanced at each other, and one person said, "But, Mayor Zheng, what about ...... So what if this happens on our side? ”

Zheng Gang frowned and hesitated for a moment and said, "Now is not the time to discuss this issue, we must first ensure that there are no problems in Fengyang City." ”

After speaking, he glanced at Ye Fei with surprised eyes.

"Boss Ye, how did you expect ......?"

Ye Fei looked at the rolling waves on the river and said, "I didn't expect it, I was just in case." ”

Then, he said to Zheng Gang: "Mayor Zheng, if I guess correctly, this time we should have encountered a heavy rain that has not been encountered in a century, and we have encountered it in a hundred years, and what will happen next, we may not be able to say for sure, so we have to guard against it." ”

At eleven o'clock in the evening, Ye Fei usually sleeps at this time, but today it is always difficult to sleep, and he has been staying in front of the TV and paying attention to the news.

Suddenly, a news channel in Haijin City broadcast: "There is a water seepage situation on the Jinyang River embankment, please prepare for the situation near the embankment, and urgently organize evacuation if necessary." ”

Ye Fei didn't say a word, he drove straight to Jinyang River, and he kept making calls on the way.

When they arrived on the embankment of the Jinyang River, they saw Zheng Gang, people from relevant departments, and soldiers from the local army already carrying out rescue work.

Because at this time, not only the water level of the Jinyang River has reached the level of the embankment, but the embankment has also been washed out of a hole several meters wide.

And this opening is expanding to both sides at a speed visible to the naked eye, although the rescuers keep throwing sandbags into it, but because the speed of the water is getting faster and faster, the sandbags thrown into it are like stones sinking into the sea, and there is not even a shadow to be seen.

Zheng Gang was also very surprised when he saw Ye Fei coming to the embankment at this time.

"Boss Ye, it's too dangerous here, you leave quickly."

Ye Fei didn't answer him, but looked at the opening in the embankment and asked, "Mayor Zheng, are we sure to plug this gap?" ”

Before Zheng Gang could speak, the people around him reported to Zheng Gang: "Mayor Zheng, our sandbags are about to run out, and the water flow is too fast, I'm afraid we won't be able to block it." ”

As he spoke, he saw that the soldiers in the local troops, in order to slow down the speed of the water flow so that the sandbags could be fixed in the gap, had jumped in one by one, holding hands to form a human wall to block the gap.

At this time, the sandbag thrown in again was obviously fixed to the position of the gap.

But suddenly, a large part of the embankment collapsed on both sides, and the current increased, and the human wall was immediately dispersed in the floodwater.
