rebirth of cataclysm

When it got dark, Fang Guoping arrived at the Weixi Hotel.

It's just that Fang Guoping didn't come as Hu Mingchen's bodyguard. He came as a retired soldier volunteer to participate in the rescue. After meeting him here, he joined the 301 rescue team.

One day later, the water in front of the Weixi Hotel receded a lot, and the water depth dropped to less than one meter.

Although everyone advised Hu Mingchen not to go into the water, after a night's rest, Hu Mingchen repeated his old tricks and led his people to join the rescue again.

Hu Mingchen had already called and arranged everything that should be arranged. If he was asked to stand by and watch while his roommate and other teammates went into the water, Hu Mingchen would be a little unable to do such a thing.

Of course, it is much safer to go into the water now than yesterday. There are almost no cases of people or cars being washed away. They mainly bring some homeless victims to the hotel.

Chen Peng, who suffered a stomach injury, was severely warned by Hu Mingchen not to go into the water. His stomach had exploded, and once water penetrated, the medicine on the front would be ineffective.

After more than a day of expansion, the Weixi Hotel has accommodated more than 300 people.

At the beginning, it was possible to accommodate two people in a room, but later on, it was no longer possible to ensure a relaxed environment. Three or four people had to stay in a room.

After all, some people are original tenants and they have paid for it. You cannot arrange for strangers to live with them. This is not in line with the spirit of the contract unless they take the initiative and voluntarily.

"Another military vehicle is coming. Quickly untie the rope and untie it." As soon as Hu Mingchen helped an old man into the hotel, he heard loud shouting from outside.

Hu Mingchen stopped and turned around, and saw a group of military vehicles approaching from the right. Because they were wading through the water, their speed was not very fast, and there were more than ten of them.

In order to allow the military vehicle to pass, Zhao Chao and a security guard quickly untied the rope at one end.

Seeing the soldiers coming, everyone in the hotel lobby rushed to the door, cheering and applauding loudly to express their welcome and support.

However, the disciple soldiers, who were the backbone of the disaster relief effort, did not stop, but headed west.

"They should be going to plug the gap." Hu Mingchen looked at the direction of the convoy and said to Fang Guoping.

Hu Mingchen has already seen the detailed map of Shangdu City, and he has learned from the platform that there has been leakage and small-scale piping in the Duoming River northwest of Shangdu City. Continue to reinforce, otherwise, the dam may collapse. In that case

, the commercial city had to be severely flooded again.

"Seeing that touch of green makes me want to go with them." Fang Guoping said with envy in his eyes.

Only people who have served as soldiers and participated in extremely difficult and dangerous missions can say this.

"You can't follow me anymore, haha, just be the backbone of our 301 rescue team." Hu Mingchen patted Fang Guoping on the shoulder and teased him with a smile.

"Mr. Hu, Mr. Hu..." At this moment, Chen Qianru ran to find Hu Mingchen.

"What's wrong? What's wrong?"

"There is a problem, because more and more people are being rescued, and the food stored in our hotel is no longer enough, especially vegetables and meat. We have run out. Even rice is only enough to last today." Chen Qianru said.

"Then let's make purchases. Are we running out of money financially?"

"You are right, we really have no money financially. We are helping these people, and food and accommodation are free. Before that, finance itself was tight. This is only one aspect. On the other hand,

I'm afraid it's difficult to buy enough food, especially vegetables, even if you have money," Chen Qianru said.

"I can help you with the funds, but for the rest, you need to figure it out on your own. You are local and you know this place better than I do." Hu Mingchen frowned and said.

"I do have an idea. I'm afraid I can't use fresh vegetables these days. I can only buy frozen meat, cook more meat dishes, and boil more broth. As for rice, I will go out and look for several nearby restaurants now.

Go to the supermarket and see if their supplies are flooded."

"You don't have to go out. I'll have the rice delivered to you. You can contact the meat first. Send a thousand kilograms of rice and some seasonings first."

Thinking that there should be one at Rice Xingsheng Supermarket or Aniu Company's storage center, Hu Mingchen stopped Chen Qianru from going out.

Now Chen Qianru is the actual person in charge of the hotel. If she leaves, Hu Mingchen is afraid that he will not be able to play well. After all, he is not familiar with the other people below.

However, when Hu Mingchen contacted him, he discovered that the supplies in the Aniu Company's storage center had been provided to the civil affairs rescue unit. Xingsheng Supermarket was facing a wave of panic buying this morning and could only allocate 700 kilograms of rice to them.

After a major disaster, we often face a shortage of materials. What's more, the disaster is only alleviated and has not really passed.

In this flood, many unprepared stores were flooded, including vegetable markets and grain stores. Regardless of whether it was rice or wheat noodles, as long as they were soaked in water, they were inedible.

When everyone learns that Xingsheng Supermarket has food supplies, of course they will rush to buy it.

Seven hundred kilograms, just seven hundred kilograms. It can hold it for at least three or four days. After three or four days, I believe a lot of relief supplies from other places will be shipped in one after another.

After contacting Wang Zhan, Wang Jianpeng called Hu Mingchen.

"Hu Mingchen, you are in the disaster area, right? Let me tell you, we have collected a large amount of supplies here and plan to ship them here today. Look, you can find a receiving unit over there."

"How much supplies do you have?" Hu Mingchen asked.

"Two thousand boxes of instant noodles, 500 boxes of instant rice noodles, 10,000 bottles of mineral water, and 200 boxes of eight-treasure porridge, worth nearly half a million."

"Damn, you can do it, you can do it very quickly. It seems that the activities in the school are very successful."

"It is relatively successful, and it is also due to the fact that the TV station has been reporting on the situation in the disaster area all day long. The students and teachers have generously donated money. Of course, the organization of our student union is also inseparable. In addition to this batch of supplies, our Langzhou University Student Union

We also donated 100,000 yuan to the Central Plains Provincial Children's Welfare Foundation, which is the remaining donation for purchasing supplies." Wang Jianpeng said.

"Okay, okay. If one side is in trouble, support from all sides will come. Let's do it this way. You guys hurry up and transport the supplies. Once they're delivered, leave them to me."

"Leave it to you?"

"Why, can I still swallow it? Everyone from our dormitory is here, and we have set up a 301 rescue team here. When the time comes, our rescue team will just help distribute it."

"No, I don't suspect that you have embezzled this batch of materials, but if you are not good enough, you have to find the relevant local departments to issue proof of receipt. On the one hand, we have to make it public. On the other hand, if there is no local receiving unit, I'm afraid that we

My car cannot enter the disaster area," Wang Jianpeng explained.

The situation Wang Jianpeng mentioned will indeed happen.

However, Hu Mingchen then thought about it, maybe he had another meaning that he had not said, and it was not convenient to say it.

If this batch of supplies were handed over to Hu Mingchen and his 301 rescue team, then the limelight would go to Hu Mingchen, and the hard-earned achievements of their student union in the rear would be wiped out, especially Wang Jianpeng, the student union president.

Hu Mingchen was not sure whether Wang Jianpeng had such thoughts, and it was impossible for him to actually ask.

"Well, let's do this. I'll help find the local civil affairs department and let them receive and distribute it." Since Wang Jianpeng had concerns, Hu Mingchen no longer insisted.

By the third day, the water on the main road in Shangdu City was basically drained. Several surrounding provinces sent people from the water affairs department and the electric power department to come to the rescue, and various high-power water pumping equipment were deployed.

However, the water has retreated to below the ankles, but everything is devastated. For disaster relief, it is a new test and beginning.

The key is that the damage is too great. There are flooded cars and shops everywhere. The roads and parks are full of silt and garbage. It will take at least a week to clean them up.

Almost all the families living on the first floor need assistance. Citizens can help themselves and help clean up, but the property damage is immeasurable. In addition, there is a shortage of goods and they need to be brought in from outside.

Some of the people who stayed in the Weixi Hotel went back, but a significant number of them continued to stay in the hotel, because when they returned, they didn't even have a place to sleep, and the sofas, beds, wardrobes, etc. were all soaked by water.

"Everyone pack your things, we are leaving today." Hu Mingchen said, gathering all the people from the 301 rescue team in the hotel.

"Hu Mingchen, are we going back now?" Yu Yi asked curiously.

"Go back? Where? We are not going back, but to a place that needs us more."

"Hu Mingchen, do you mean to go to Weidong City?" Fang Guoping asked.

In front of Hu Mingchen's classmates, Fang Guoping called Hu Mingchen by his first name, and he also relatively understood Hu Mingchen's thoughts.

"Well, the situation in Shangdu City has been much better. Moreover, this is the provincial capital. All kinds of rescue forces and all kinds of relief materials are gathered here. I believe that in a day or two, the area will be fully restored, but I saw that the disaster relief

The platform shows that the situation in Weidong City has not improved, but has become more serious. We need to go there." Hu Mingchen nodded.

Due to the flood discharge in Weidong City, not only the two towns were completely flooded, but the urban area of ​​Weidong and the two counties below were also soaked in water.

Previously, when Guo Dahe released floods, he thought it was to protect the urban area of ​​Weidong City. However, this was not the case later. It was to protect the more important commercial city.

Because the Guoda River is an important tributary of the Duomin River, if the Guo Da River does not release floods, the rising water from the Guo Da River will overflow the Duo Ming River and flow into the Shangdu area.

For a prefecture-level city and a provincial capital city, there is no doubt that it is important to keep the provincial capital.

Sure enough, as soon as the flood was released over there, the water level here in Shangdu City dropped sharply. However, Weidong City was in dire straits and turned into a water town.

Therefore, in the spirit of going wherever there is need, Hu Mingchen decided to transfer the 301 rescue team to Weidong City.

"Okay, shall we leave right away? I'm anxious to go back and have a look." Tian Yongjun was the most enthusiastic about going to Weidong City, because that is his hometown.
