Perfect Feast

Chapter Twenty-One

At this time, the expression on Liu Yang's face calmed down instead, he stared at Wu Yuandong and asked, "Just tell me, how bad is the situation?"

"If the loopholes can't be plugged in time, the dam will definitely collapse as the lake surges and the pressure increases..." Wu Yuandong stopped talking at this point.

Even a fool can figure out the following situation.

A scene of the dam breach immediately appeared in Liu Yang's mind: the levee collapsed tens of meters, and the lake water passed through like a beast, turning the waves, whirling, and crossing the rice fields that were as flat as mirrors, whistling like Galloping horses rushed towards the opposite village...

Don't dare to think about it anymore, this situation must never happen. Thinking of this, Liu Yang took out his phone again. Fortunately, although the signal of the mobile phone is not up to standard, it can still make calls at last.

This time, Liu Yang didn't say anything else to Sun Qingmei, he only said one sentence: "Reporter Sun Shu, there is a pipe surge in the embankment of the lake. I'm afraid there is a danger of a breach. The nearest Zhangjiazhuang and Danie villages below the embankment are the best. Mobilize the villagers to relocate now. In addition, I need a lot of sandbags here, the more the better..."

After finishing these words, he hung up the call with Sun Qingmei. For a moment, Liu Yang really wanted not to inform her. Even if he was held accountable afterwards, he would hold her accountable and had nothing to do with him.

However, after much deliberation, she is really the only one who is suitable for the position of Secretary of the Huling County Party Committee.

Even if we drive her out of Huling, I'm afraid I won't be able to sit in her position with my qualifications. Besides, do you know what kind of person can be transferred to you as a secretary?

After all, I have dealt with this woman a lot, and I am familiar with her temper and style of doing things. The most important point is that this woman still has something to hold in her hands.

Whether it was the half-legged affair with her in the office when she was in Sihe, or Hu Xiaohong, they could all be said to be Sun Qingmei's weakness. When it's really urgent, take it out by yourself, enough to "threat" her to support yourself.

Naturally, this method cannot be used unless it is absolutely necessary. Of course, it doesn't work if you use it too much.

However, when it is critical, it is enough to use it once. Liu Yang thought that it was better for Sun Qingmei to stay in Huling County than someone he didn't know well.

So, at this moment, Liu Yang ignored the past, and called Sun Qingmei again to remind her that I was right, it's not that there is no danger as you think, but that the danger has already happened, but it has not yet reached the point of being out of control.

Do you know what to do? Otherwise... hum...

After hanging up on Sun Qingmei, Liu Yang called Lin Yufen again, asking her to deliver the emergency supplies as soon as possible, regardless of the cost, the more river sand, sacks, shovels, etc., the better.

At this time, Wu Yuandong lowered his voice again and said: "Major Liu, I'm afraid that time is running out. The vortex below is getting bigger and bigger, and the water is sandwiched with mud. It must be that the lake water has washed the dam through the cracks. If anything... The place we are standing is not safe, our people must retreat..."

"Is there any other way?" Looking at the lake on the side of the embankment, Liu Yang turned his head back and looked at the foggy place on the other side where he couldn't see anything.

Just now Wu Yuandong said that two kilometers away from this section of the embankment, there is a village called Zhangjiazhuang with a population of more than 1,000. And less than half a mile away from Zhangjiazhuang, there is a village of five or six hundred people called Danie Village.

If this section of the embankment is washed away, few villagers in Zhangjiazhuang and Danie Village will survive.

Don't think that the distance of two kilometers is very far. The flood that broke the embankment was faster than a galloping horse, and it arrived in just one wave. The villagers didn't even have time to run.

"Major Liu, what I said just now is a conservative estimate. If the mountain torrent on the other side of the lake rushes down, it will form a torrent from east to west in a short period of time, and it will form a powerful force on our west bank embankment. Shock wave, I haven't really estimated how strong this force is. It may be a bit exaggerated to say that this heavy rainstorm is once in a hundred years, but it has never happened since the completion of this levee, but there are records. In addition, any The torrent coming from the direction of the state will also enter the East Lake, and the water level will suddenly rise to an incalculable height. Even if the water level of the lake rises by half a meter, the pressure of the lake water on the dam will increase. More than double..."

As he said that, Wu Yuandong glanced at Liu Yang's face, and said with a wry smile: "County magistrate, the problem is that the dam under our feet already has cracks. With such a large water pressure and the impact of the flood peak, the embankment under our feet is already cracked. A crack in the road will become a flood outlet. But the key point is that our flood outlet is not a reinforced concrete building, but rammed earth. The lake water will make a hole like a mouse, and the hole will be bigger and bigger bit by bit. In the end, the lake dike collapsed..."

Listening to his words, Liu Yangyou turned his head back, staring at the lake for a long time without saying a word.

"Major Liu, it's too dangerous here, I think we'd better go first..." Zhang Yawei said with a hint of panic on the side.

Cao Hancheng curled his lips and said nothing. He looked down on Liu Yang from the bottom of his heart. But he really didn't want to agree with Zhang Yawei's words.

Anyway, separated by a dike, here is the deadly lake, and there is my hometown. As a county-level cadre, what did you not do, and ran away first when you encountered danger?

In fact, Zhang Yawei was not the only one who wanted to turn around and run away at this time. Among the group of people standing behind him, quite a few had the same idea.

Hearing Zhang Yawei's words, Liu Yang turned his face away, glared at him and asked, "Go? Where can you go? As long as this long dike is broken, the whole of Huling County will become a big fish pond. You Zhang Where can the county magistrate go? Even if you can run, can the people in the whole county also run?"

"County magistrate, you have to make a decision quickly?" Wu Yuandong asked again anxiously. Time waits for no one, what are you arguing about at this time?

"Chen Dekai..." Liu Yang did not answer his words, but shouted loudly.

Chen Dekai agreed loudly, took two steps forward, and stopped when he was about to pass Cao Hancheng and Zhang Yawei. "Now go back as my car and see what's going on with County Magistrate Lin? Why hasn't the emergency and disaster relief materials arrived yet? In less than half an hour, I'll dismiss her..."

Regardless of whether he has this authority, Liu Yang really can't care so much now. After shouting, he turned around again, looked at the dark crowd standing behind him, and shouted loudly: "Comrades, folks, the heavy rain has not stopped now, the water in the lake It's still growing like crazy, the embankment under our feet has already found a problem, I won't hide this from you..."

While Liu Yang was talking, his eyes slowly glided over those people, but those people on the opposite side felt that the county magistrate's eyes saw me, and unconsciously straightened their bodies that were already wet by the rain.

"However, the place where we are standing is not safe. I can also tell you one thing, as long as you step back a hundred meters, then you are safe. As far as the current situation is concerned, even if you stay at home, it is better to stay at home." It is safe to be on this long embankment, because this embankment is the commanding height of our entire county."

As Liu Yang spoke, he suddenly raised his voice: "However, if we don't rush to repair the place we are standing at now, it may not take long before it will be 'digged' by the lake. And it is already higher than our county seat. If the lake water is more than one meter out, it will rush all the way through this gap, level the two Zhuangzi in front, and then pour it into our homes."

"Now there are two problems in front of everyone. One is that you go back. You can go back 100 meters, 200 meters, or you can go back to your home to accompany your wife and children when they are drowned. The other , that is, let’s find a way to eliminate this hidden danger that has not yet erupted. Of course, if you choose the former, I will not say you are a coward, because it is human nature. And choosing the latter will be dangerous, but you are a rescuer. The hero of the people of the whole county in the fire and water."

Speaking of this, Liu Yang's voice suddenly stopped, and he was the first to raise his hand: "I am the first to sign up to stay. If the embankment under my feet really bursts, I will jump off the body given to me by the user and use my For my life, I also want to fight against the monstrous flood. If I can block a bowl of water, the people of the whole county will drink less water; if I can block a ladle of water, maybe one less ordinary person will die in the flood..."

Shocked by what he said, the crowd held their breath and stared blankly at the young county leader in front of them.

Zhang Yawei also looked at Liu Yang in shock, thinking that you have overdone your show, haven't you? What if... don't you really plan to jump off? Even if you jump down, what's the use of standing up? Still blocking a bowl is a bowl, blocking a ladle is a ladle? I'm afraid your small body can't hold back even half a ladle of water. When a wave hits back, you don't know where you were washed away. What are you doing?

Thinking about it, a sneer of sarcasm appeared on the corner of Zhang Yawei's mouth, and he said to himself, do you think everyone will follow you like a fool when you say this? Look, besides your stupid raised hand, who else would respond to your stupid...

But then he froze like a fool, unable to laugh anymore.

"County magistrate, I didn't say anything. I understand what you are saying. Besides, your life is more valuable than mine. Since you dare to stay, I will never leave..."

"That's right, count me in..."

"Yes, and I..."

The shouting became more and more intense, and those people standing behind Zhang Yawei really seemed crazy, imitating Liu Yang, and raised their hands.

Not only behind him, even Cao Hancheng standing in front of him raised his hand. This change was beyond Zhang Yawei's expectation.

However, looking at the scene in front of him, Liu Yang smiled.
