rebirth of cataclysm

After learning that the Shangdu City Airport was closed, everyone was very depressed and felt that they would come here in good stead and then leave in disgrace.

"What can we do? The plane can't fly, and we can't go." Sitting in the airport lobby, Chen Peng said angrily.

"Yeah, I'm in trouble this time. How about taking the train?" Yu Yi said.

"The train is too slow. It will take more than ten hours. This is if it is not delayed." Tian Yongjun said, rubbing his head with both hands.

"If you don't take the train, you can't take the car. Wouldn't it be slower? We can't fly. If we can, we can fly there." Hao Yang said.

While they were complaining, Hu Mingchen was staring intently at the large screen display board, which had real-time information and changes on each flight.

"We can go. There are no flights to Shangdu, but there are flights to the nearby Fengwei City. Fengwei should not be far from Shangdu..." Hu Mingchen suddenly turned around and said to everyone.

"Yes, why didn't I think of a roundabout way? Yes, yes, Hu Mingchen, Fengwei City is more than 300 kilometers away from Shangdu City, and the road conditions are very good. The shuttle bus will arrive in a few hours." Tian Yongjun stood up suddenly when he saw the dawn and said

.

"Let's go to Fengwei City first, give me your ID, and I'll buy tickets right away."

On this trip, no one else had much money. Except for Hu Mingchen, no one could afford the air tickets. Fortunately, Hu Mingchen didn't think of sharing it with them.

It would be good if they could work together and follow him on the frontline adventure.

Fortunately, there were not many passengers going to Fengwei City from the south of the town. Hu Mingchen and the others easily bought six tickets, and the seat numbers were still connected together.

Before boarding the plane through security check, Hu Mingchen sent two text messages on his mobile phone, and then took the flight to Fengwei City with the members of the 301 rescue team.

More than three hours later, Hu Mingchen and his party arrived in Fengwei City.

When the plane landed at Fengwei Airport, it started to rain outside. Although the rain was not that heavy, it still reached the level of moderate rain and everything was wet.

Hu Mingchen led his teammates out of the airport and looked at the silky raindrops under the eaves. Everyone was at a loss again.

"Hu Mingchen, what are we doing now? It's raining so hard. Should we take a rest in the city or go to Shangdu City immediately?" Pan Yilun tightened his backpack and asked.

"The rain is so heavy, the key is that it is difficult to go. I just asked a taxi and heard that it was going to Shangdu City. They immediately shook their heads and refused to go even if they gave me money." Tian Yongjun said.

"Is there a train from Fengwei to Shangdu? How about we go to the train station and see if we can take a train?" Chen Peng said.

Hu Mingchen looked at the message on his mobile phone: "The train is not working either. The foundation of the railway to Shangdu City has become loose and shifted. The train has stopped. It will take two days to get through."

"It's so serious. I thought railways were always the safest." Chen Peng said in surprise.

"The local disaster may be more serious than what we know from the news. Let's wait here and a car will come to take us to Shangdu in a while." Hu Mingchen said while looking at the rain-washed road outside the airport.

"Who will come to pick us up, Hu Mingchen, have you already contacted someone?" Hao Yang asked doubtfully.

"Yeah, a friend I know."

Hu Mingchen responded without explaining too much.

Ten minutes later, two high-chassis off-road vehicles drove up. A young driver jumped out of the driving seat and ran to Hu Mingchen: "Is this Mr. Hu?"

"I am."

"Mr. Li asked me to pick you up. We will take you to Shangdu City in two cars," the driver said.

"Okay, I'll excuse you, everyone, get in the car." Hu Mingchen was not polite, took off his backpack, pulled away the co-pilot and got in.

Seeing Hu Mingchen getting into the car, others followed suit.

Hu Mingchen and the others fastened their seat belts and sat down, and the two off-road vehicles drove away from Fengwei Airport and sped towards Shangdu City.

After getting on the bus, Hu Mingchen learned that the driver's surname was Zhao and his name was Zhao Chao. He was a local employee of Aniu Company.

"Brother Zhao, how long will it take to get to Shangdu?" Hu Mingchen asked.

"In the past, it would have taken more than four hours. But this year the expressway is open to traffic. Even if it rains, you can still get there before dark." Zhao Chao replied.

"Oh, if the expressway is open to traffic, that's good."

"You can squint for a while. I'll call you when we get to Shangdu."

Hu Mingchen felt that he should take a break to recuperate his energy. When he got there, he might not have much time to rest.

So, Hu Mingchen put down the seat, crossed his arms, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

I won’t say whether I can sleep or not, but at least I can rest my mind by closing my eyes and leaning on it.

Hao Yang and Tian Yongjun, who were in the same car as Hu Mingchen, also leaned on their seats and remained silent.

However, Tian Yongjun couldn't sleep at all, and couldn't even close his eyes.

Fengwei City is not a disaster area, but it has been raining. It feels like water has accumulated in the fields outside the highway, and the surrounding areas are shrouded in rain and fog.

If the situation here is like this, then the situation over there in Shangdu City, especially in Weidong City, is simply unimaginable.

Tian Yongjun was so worried that he still couldn't worry about his family. From yesterday to now, his family had not called once to report that they were safe. Tian Yongjun called back but couldn't get through.

After three hours of hurried driving, the vehicle finally entered Shangdu City as night fell.

Hu Mingchen, who had been sleeping for a while, woke up and saw that the crops in the fields outside were basically soaked in water.

Fortunately, the roadbed of the expressway is relatively high, otherwise, driving would be impossible.

"Mr. Hu, we still have half an hour to get off the highway." Zhao Chao said after seeing Hu Mingchen wake up and concentrate on driving.

"Oh, the situation here seems to be very bad. There is so much water in the fields. It seems that the yield of the crops in the new year will be reduced."

"It's not a reduction in production, but most of the crops may not be harvested. The water has been flooded for two days. Judging from the situation, it seems that it will be difficult to get better in the next few days. As long as those crops are half flooded for two days, they will basically be able to survive."

It’s useless now.” Zhao Chao sighed.

"Wow, what a huge loss that would be."

"There is nothing we can do about it. The primary purpose now is to save people, especially in the city. If the city is flooded, the losses will be much greater. As for food, I believe the country will solve it after the disaster."

"Yes, property is nothing compared to life. By the way, are you going to go back after sending us to the commercial capital?" Hu Mingchen asked after nodding in approval.

"Mr. Li said that we should listen to your arrangements. If you let us go back, we will go back. If you let us stay, we will stay and help." Zhao Chao said.

"In that case, don't go back for the time being. Stay and do something." Hu Mingchen had relatively few people available at the moment, so he was not polite and left Zhao Chao and his colleagues to help.

Half an hour later, the two off-road vehicles got off the expressway at the Shangdu West Toll Station and officially entered the city.

At this time, Hu Mingchen discovered that the situation was even worse than what he saw on the highway.

Urban roads generally accumulate water. In some places, the water reaches half the height of a wheel. When two off-road vehicles pass by, they will not only raise a curtain of water, but also bring relatively large waves. Some citizens riding bicycles will even be hit by the waves.

Push down.

"Slow down as much as possible," Hu Mingchen reminded Zhao Chao.

"I think it's getting dark soon. If we don't hurry up and get to our destination, it will be even more troublesome when it gets completely dark. But I'll slow down a little and be more careful."

The lights of the off-road vehicle were now turned on. When he passed the intersection again, Hu Mingchen discovered that the traffic police comrade was standing in nearly knee-deep water directing traffic, and the traffic lights had been extinguished.

It is also because of the efforts of these staff that this metropolis did not fall into complete chaos.

"Stop, stop, you can't go further." Suddenly, Hu Mingchen and his car were stopped by a traffic policeman and a staff member wearing a red armband.

"Comrade, why can't we go? We are going to the Weixi Hotel, aren't we taking this road?" Zhao Chao said, fully pressing down the car window.

"Detour, you have to take a detour. The water in the culvert ahead is more than one meter deep and you can't pass it. Take a detour quickly." The traffic police comrade directed.

"Oh, thank you, let's go around then." Rolling up the car window, Zhao Chao quickly turned in the general direction.

Just when he was about to arrive at the Weixi Hotel, Hu Mingchen saw a tricycle on the side of the road suddenly being overturned by a wave of water.

"Stop, stop." Hu Mingchen shouted as he opened the door.

Zhao Chao braked, and Hu Mingchen jumped into the water that was almost half a meter deep, and quickly rushed towards the tricycle.

When Hao Yang and Tian Yongjun in the back row saw this, they immediately got out of the car and followed to help.

When he arrived at the side of the tricycle, Hu Mingchen found that a woman who had fallen into the water lay down and tried to lift the tricycle, because a man was pressed under the vehicle body, and half of the man's head was choked in the water.

Unfortunately, the woman was not very strong and could not lift the car body no matter how hard she tried. Just when she was about to cry, Hu Mingchen arrived.

"Auntie, let me help you." Hu Mingchen walked around the car and bent down to help lift it. Hao Yang and Tian Yongjun, who were following closely, also hurriedly helped.

With the efforts of several people, the tricycle was finally righted and the man below was rescued.

The man probably choked on the water and coughed many times after being helped up.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you. If it weren't for you, my husband would probably be dead." The woman kept bowing and thanking her.

She was right. If Hu Mingchen and the others didn't help and the man couldn't get out, if it took a little longer, he might be drowned.

"Auntie, you're welcome, you're welcome, we should do it. Uncle, how are your feet? Why don't you take our car and take you to the hospital for a checkup."

"Ahem, my feet... I should be able to walk. I have to drive this car home."

"Uncle, let's leave the car here for now. You'd better go check it out first. If there's a hole, it's easy to get infected and need to be disinfected. Also, we need to check if there are any fractures. Save the person first. If the person is fine, everything else will be easy to deal with.

Come on, let's take you to the hospital." After saying that, Hu Mingchen asked Chen Peng and Yu Yi who came from behind to help the man get into the car, and the woman followed and got into Hu Mingchen's car.

"Young men, who are you...? Your accent doesn't sound like locals."

"Auntie, we are the 301 rescue team." Hao Yang replied proudly.

This is the first time that the name 301 Rescue Team has appeared in a disaster area, or it can be said that it is the first time that the name 301 Rescue Team has been used externally.

Zhao Chao led the way and sent the couple to the hospital. Hu Mingchen also helped pay the examination fee, and then they left.

After arriving at the Weixi Hotel, Hu Mingchen and the others got out of the car and each carried their own luggage.

"Mr. Hu, I made two flags and a banner for your rescue team's flags. They are all here." Zhao Chao took out a bag from the trunk.

"Ah, the flag of our 301 rescue team is ready here? Is there a flagpole? If so, we can set it up now." Yu Yi said.

"Yes, but it's relatively short, only 1.5 meters."

"Yu Yi, stop being such a coquettish person. We've already arrived at the hotel. What flag are you raising? Hurry up and go to the room to change your clothes first." Hu Mingchen said to stop Yu Yi from showing off.
