Crisis Management Game

This is the horror of natural disasters.

Human life is as lowly as weeds in front of floods.

Creak--!

A sudden sound from behind interrupted Gu Ji's contemplation. He turned around, his frown gradually flattened, the corners of his eyes widened, and his two eyeballs bulged outwards.

It was a blue cargo ship more than 60 meters long and 10 meters wide. It was pushed diagonally by the flood waves. With a bang, it hit the office building next to it, like a sharp blade, inserted into the building. The huge The building seemed to be crumbling due to the intrusion, and a large section of the upper glass was shattered, revealing a crowd of people screaming madly inside.

"ah--!"

One of them was pushed down from the building alive by the panicked crowd behind him because he couldn't escape. He fell into the water and disappeared.

incredible.

Ships will appear in city buildings, and the disaster scene in the movie "The Day After Tomorrow" actually happened in reality!

Before the instinctive fear was over, Gu Ji turned his head forcefully. Taking advantage of the reverse waves caused by the collision of the ship, he grabbed the edge of the rubber boat, used all his strength to straighten the hull, and then quickly climbed to the stern external propeller. , grabbed the starting handle, stood up and pulled hard.

Boom, boom, boom...

"hurry up……"

While urging, he repeatedly pulled the starting handle, and at the same time, he had to hold on to the hull of the boat to maintain balance and prevent himself from being swept down by the waves.

Finally, after countless attempts, the gasoline engine suddenly made a "rumble" sound, and the ship's hull moved backwards as if it had regained power.

Gu Ji couldn't help but grin and hurriedly controlled the steering wheel.

But just when he turned around to look in the direction, a black shadow suddenly stabbed in front of him.

In the flash of lightning, Gu Ji instinctively leaned back.

The roar of the gasoline engine was right next to his ears, and the churning water waves of the paddle splashed on the back of his head. In front of his suddenly shrinking pupils, a black shadow brushed against his nose seven or eight centimeters, passing dangerously and dangerously. He hurriedly looked back. , it turned out to be an iron frame on a collapsed gray cement pole. If he hadn't reacted in time, he would have ended up with his chest pierced by the steel bar!

Fortunately, I chose the emergency avoidance mark.

Perhaps it was the instinctive reaction of muscles in the 13% crisis environment that successfully saved his life.

With the blessing of heavy rains, the floods became more severe. The wind and waves were like walls, hitting the surrounding buildings. Cars were drifting with the water like boats. Almost all the low-lying houses in the north and middle city were submerged, leaving only A handful of dozens of houses and buildings below separated the rough water flow into patches of whitecaps.

This made Gu Ji couldn't help but have an illusion.

It seems as if there was no flood at all, but these buildings were built amid the raging rivers.

"The power of a five-meter-high flood is too terrifying..."

According to the standard sea state level, the wave height is 4-6 meters, and the storm wave shape at the flood peak is already a level 6 giant wave. This may be more common near the coast, but it is very exaggerated in inland rivers.

In mid-July 2010, heavy rains raged in the northeastern region of Xia State and floods occurred in the eastern part of Jiangji Province. Three floods converged at the same time in Qiankou Town, Yong County, forming a once-in-a-century flood. The height of the flood wave reached five meters, and Kolkata was far away. The Farakka Dam is a full 100 kilometers long, which shows what a terrifying amount of water the Hooghly River brings!

Now we have to try our best to save people!

Gu Ji stared at the rising death toll. In less than a minute, another seven or eight people died in the flood, and it was about to exceed the 90 mark.

Theoretically, the highest fatality rate from floods is drowning, followed by being struck by objects, stabbed by sharp objects, and then electric shock.

And he asked the Army to put out a large number of life jackets and lifebuoys from the beginning.

So as long as these residents of northern Kolkata can survive the first wave of floods, many people will survive.

"Help, Gulu...help..."

"ah!"

"help me!"

Sure enough, as soon as Gu Ji controlled the rubber rescue boat and turned out of the alley, he saw three or four slum refugees floating on the water. One man and one woman were wearing life jackets, and another uncle was holding a broken tree trunk, " Don’t move around, be sure to wait for me to pass!”

Whether it is close combat training at sea or specialization marks on flood rapids, they all come with water rubber speedboat driving skills.

He increased the throttle and turned the bow of the boat, cutting diagonally through the fast current and gliding to the side of several people.

"Reach out and grab the handrail on the side of the boat! Quick!"

"Thank you, distinguished sir!"

The two men and women wearing life jackets climbed onto the boat easily, but the old man holding the wood never dared to let go, for fear that he would lose his grip and fall into the water.

Just when Gu Ji was trying to get the refugees to cooperate with him in using the "O" type centrifugal rescue.

Unexpectedly, there was a shout from behind, and then a lifebuoy with a safety rope was thrown in the air, and it landed right next to the Indian uncle.

When I turned around, I didn’t expect it to be Pradhan.

"Vidi, thank God, I knew you would survive. Where are the other rescuers on the ship?"

"I'm sorry, Captain Pradhan. When the flood was recorded, they were all swept into the undercurrent and dispersed. Only I was tied to the boat by a safety rope and was not thrown away from the rubber boat."

"Don't blame yourself, your method is very effective, and that's why the three of us survived."

Pradhan tugged on the noose around his waist, and then glanced at a tall and lanky rescuer beside him, "Kapil, you go to Vidhi's boat to help!"

"Captain Pradhan, we should gather the scattered boat formations as much as possible now and find a way to fish out the refugees floating on the water in the early stages of the flood!"

Gu Ji took the initiative to move the boat next to Pradhan's rubber boat, "And it's not enough to rely on us alone. We also need helicopter rescue from the military!"

Pradhan also understood the concept of "golden rescue time" and took out a satellite phone from his tool bag.

After being hit by the flood, most of the infrastructure in the town was severely damaged, and the mobile phone had no signal. He handed another satellite phone to Gu Ji, "I have reported the situation to the disaster response command. The experts from the Ministry will be responsible for contacting the air force base for support. Vidi, our troops will be divided into two groups for rescue. I will be responsible for the direction of the Hooghly River, and you will be responsible for the west side. We will gather in the lower reaches of Nancheng District!"

"good!"

Working with people who understand is smooth.

In less than half an hour, Gu Ji gathered 70 or 80 rubber rescue boats near the east direction, and also searched and rescued more than 100 refugees. When they arrived at the agreed place, he and Pradhan found a nearby rescue boat. Eighty percent of the formation personnel.

As India's most elite disaster relief force, their survival rate is higher than that of ordinary people.

The other missing persons either separated from the ship and fled elsewhere, or were temporarily trapped somewhere.

The flood lasted only about an hour.

In the subsidence period, the water flow will no longer be as turbulent as before, and the deep water level will remain at about five meters. Although on the surface, it seems that water search and rescue in Kolkata is more difficult than that in Assam, in fact, because the former is During the day, with the cooperation of military helicopters and most of the people wearing reflective life jackets and lifebuoys, it was easier and smoother.

Throughout the morning, Gu Ji and Prada were busy searching and rescuing the city.

Later, even the Indian Army and Navy joined in. This was all thanks to Fatima. If she had not followed suit and posted the video of the devastating floods in Kolkata online, causing a sensation, the Prime Minister would not have suddenly transferred the Navy. came to help, and even organized national disaster relief donations online.

This is also normal. A national disaster involving multiple states often consumes very terrible government financial resources.

Never underestimate a life jacket, a bag of rice, or a box of bottled water.

The so-called "little adds up". In the past 20 years, India has suffered an average economic loss of US$10 billion due to disasters every year. During 2021-2022 alone, the central cabinet has continuously allocated more than 290 billion rupees to the SDRF state-level disaster response fund, which is approximately Xia's national currency was 24 billion, part of which was used to build infrastructure, part to purchase ambulances and other rescue equipment, and nearly 50% of the remaining money was used to provide disaster relief and compensate people.

Of course, judging from the previous "secret backstabbing" of compensation by the Ministry of Finance and Taxation.

The amount of disaster relief funds that can actually be used by the people may still be unknown.

Da da da……

Under the gloomy sky, as many as a dozen military helicopters and transport planes came and went, respectively responsible for rescue and delivering supplies. Not to mention the people of Kolkata, even the rescuers of the disaster response force had never seen "the sky above their heads". "There are still such lively times.

As time goes by, the number of deaths in the lower left corner begins to grow more slowly.

In the evening, the heavy rain finally began to lighten up, which undoubtedly made the search and rescue more difficult.

After Gu Ji took the last group of refugees to Matan Park in the central city, he found a temporary tent area set up by the government, fell in and lay down.

Since formulating the dam bombing plan yesterday morning, he has been working continuously for 36 hours without a wink.

If it weren't for one crisis after another stimulating his nerves, Gu Ji would always be on high alert.

He probably wouldn't be able to survive it long ago.

…

[The ultimate goal: to prevent the tropical storm and its secondary disasters from attacking India, and to limit the death toll to 157 people. Success! 】

[Side goal: Obtain cooperation from the Mountain Division Special Border Force successfully! 】

[Unlock the hidden goal: Find the truth about flash floods in Assam! 】

Gu Ji opened his eyes and couldn't believe that he was woken up by the sound of the game system.

After stretching, all the fatigue seemed to disappear. He rubbed his sleepy eyes while thinking about the meaning of the hidden mission.

The truth about flash floods in Assam…

Could it be that the water level suddenly rose due to glacier breakup, causing continuous dam breaches?

Judging from the previous experience of completing hidden tasks in levels, it cannot be completed by just guessing. It is necessary to find insiders or substantial evidence, such as Gillian in the Ryder Airport level, or the special amine derivatives in the Underground Building level. things.

Just as Gu Ji was thinking about where to start, there was a sudden rush of footsteps in front of the tent.

"Vidi, are you awake?"

"Wake up, I've slept for too long. How is the search and rescue going?"

It was Fatima who spoke. Gu Ji tore open the zipper of the tent, but unexpectedly he was hit by a strong light that made him narrow his eyes. "Is the sky clear?"

"Yes, Tropical Storm S103 has completely dissipated. There is no more continuous rainfall. The water in southern Bengal is slowly receding. The rescue work is going smoothly, but..."

At this point, Fatima paused deliberately, with a sly smile on her face, "I have better news!"

"Any more good news?"

"Because the Farakka Dam was not blasted in time, a huge flood broke out in Bangnan. The cabinet government was furious. The Prime Minister ordered a thorough investigation of the Ministry of Finance and Taxation and the Midnapur District Government. I heard that the relevant personnel have been taken into custody by the Central Bureau of Investigation this morning. gone!"

Unexpectedly, Gu Ji showed no excitement after hearing this.

Because the disaster caused by the devastating flood in Kolkata is so great, the Indian cabinet will definitely find someone to take the blame and quell public dissatisfaction, so it is only a matter of time that these people are caught; on the other hand, he is not an Indian himself, so he naturally has no interest in punishing corruption in India. There is no sense of immersion in Fu.

"Vidhi, now that the disaster in Kolkata has been brought under control, do we need to return to New Delhi to report back to the director and the prime minister?"

"I'll leave the matter of my return to life to you. I have some other things to deal with back in Assam."

Gu Ji responded, put on his backpack, and prepared to go find the special border troops, "Where are Marlow and the others?"

"I just met Colonel Swaraj. He said that the army's blasting and disaster relief mission has been completed, and he is preparing to escort the remaining equipment and explosives back to the 4th Army Base in Assam..."

"Go back and tell the minister for me, and tell me that I will go back to Assam to investigate the cause of the flood!"

I'm really sleepy and I give you a pillow.

Gu Ji was worried that he would not have the chance to return to northern Assam, so before Fatima could finish her words, she hurriedly finished her sentence and ran towards the camp where the military area was stationed.

His idea was simple. He would first take a special plane of the Special Border Force back to Sam State and ask about the situation in the Himalayas, because the 57th Mountain Division of the Fourth Army of the Indian Army was originally responsible for garrisoning the mountains 40 kilometers north of Dispur. Half waist is responsible for training new recruits and always maintaining an offensive and defensive posture. It is one of the three strongest frontier units of the Indian Army, so it must be aware of some unusual movements in the mountains.

"Colonel, Marlowe, wait for me!"

Fortunately, the two Mi-17/171 transport helicopters had just started their blades, and Gu Ji stopped Marlowe before he boarded the plane.

After stating the reasons and justifications, Marlow glanced at Swaraj.

To Gu Ji's surprise, the two people looked at each other with a special meaning, as if there was some secret hidden in the Himalayas in northern Assam.

etc……

Could the flash floods be related to the Special Border Force?
