Chapter 2160: Breach

Chen Wenqi lifted the warning line and stepped over, scaring everyone into a shout.

"Secretary, it's dangerous!"

Everyone ran over, especially Lian Zhongyu and the leaders of Jinli County, who were scared to death.

Chen Wenqi didn't dare to walk onto the bridge, but stood at the bridgehead, but even so, he could feel the vibration under his feet.

Then he raised his arm and shone a flashlight, and could clearly see that the entire bridge was being shaken slightly by the impact of the torrent.

Han Shizhen, commander of the military sub-district, stood beside Chen Wenqi, feeling the high-frequency tremor under his feet, and the expression on his face became even more solemn.

"Old Chen, the situation is not looking good."

Chen Wenqi asked Lian Zhongyu beside him: "Where is the embankment most likely to breach?!"

Lian Zhongyu said without hesitation: "Tushanzi Village!"

Just like in his previous life, Chen Wenqi immediately made a decision: "Let's go, let's go to Tushanzi Village."

"No!" Han Shizhen was the first to object: "It's so dark, and it's dangerous over there, you can't go."

Lian Zhongyu also advised: "At 4:00 PM, the relocation of villagers had already begun. Besides, County Magistrate Kang and Chairman Zhou of Yugong Group are also over there, and they have two speedboats.

In addition, Yugong Group sent a lot of supplies. Besides food and drink, there are two thousand tents. You don't have to worry about the resettlement of villagers, there is no need to go over."

"I have to go over and see, otherwise I won't be at ease."

Chen Wenqi ignored everyone's dissuasion, turned back, and got into the car. There was no other way, everyone had to follow.

At this time, in the Tushanzi Village section of the Lingchuan River, a speedboat was circling back and forth on the surging river surface.

The one driving the speedboat was Wang Wentian, and Zhou Andong, Yao Jun, and Yu Zhan were sitting in the speedboat.

In the afternoon, Zhou Andong found this section that breached in his previous life based on his memory.

But in terms of time, when the news reported it, it only said it was after eight o'clock, and it was not known how much more.

But it was precisely because of the breach that Chen Wenqi and the others who had just arrived were swept away.

Just at this moment, another speedboat sped over, and on the boat was Kang Yu, the county magistrate of Jinli County.

"County Magistrate Kang is back." Yao Jun looked up.

A beam of flashlight light shone towards this side, and then the speedboat arrived beside them, and Kang Yu shouted.

"Chairman Zhou, how is the situation here?"

"Not objective." Zhou Andong shone his flashlight on the embankment: "Look, it's almost overflowing the embankment."

Kang Yu's eyes narrowed: "The villagers of Tushan Village have been relocated, and the villagers of several other villages are being relocated. It should be in time."

Zhou Andong looked up to the southwest. That side was a piece of farmland with high terrain. Gu Bing was leading people to set up tents there, and he didn't know how the situation was.

After 3:00 PM, Lian Zhongyu and Kang Yu decided to relocate the villagers. He immediately notified Gu Bing to send the supplies over, arriving only half an hour earlier than Chen Wenqi.

At 7:26 PM, the car of Chen Wenqi and his party was flooded and stalled. They had to abandon the car, wade through the water in the rainstorm, and walk forward in the dark.

After walking for more than half an hour, they found that the water was getting deeper and deeper, and it had already passed their waists.

Lian Zhongyu wiped the rain off his face and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Secretary, the situation ahead is unclear, we can't go any further, it's too dangerous."

Chen Wenqi was thinking about the safety of the villagers in several villages, which was a population of tens of thousands. Was anyone trapped? Were the evacuation measures in place?

Therefore, no matter how dangerous it was ahead, he decided to go over. He had to see with his own eyes that all the villagers were safely relocated before he could be at ease.

Because it was raining and it was too dark to see the road, they could only identify the direction by the two rows of roadside trees that had not yet been submerged.

To avoid being washed away by the water, sixteen people held hands and struggled forward in the torrent.

At the same time, Wang Wentian was still driving the speedboat circling back and forth on the river. On the other side, Lian Kai was driving another speedboat, keeping a distance not far or near from Wang Wentian, also drawing circles back and forth.

Just at this moment, Yao Jun shouted loudly: "Slow down!"

Hearing this, Wang Wentian released the accelerator pedal under his feet without hesitation, and the speed of the speedboat dropped instantly.

Immediately after, Yao Jun took the flashlight, pointed in a certain direction, and shouted loudly: "Go over there!"

Wang Wentian drove in the direction Yao Jun pointed. When the speedboat approached, Zhou Andong looked closely and saw that a huge whirlpool was quietly forming just two or three meters away from the embankment.

"It's a piping!"

Zhou Andong's face changed suddenly, and he shouted at Wang Wentian: "Wentian, hurry to the downstream!"

Once it breaches, it is very dangerous even on a speedboat.

Wang Wentian didn't hesitate at all, decisively turned the bow of the boat, and the speedboat flew downstream like an arrow off the string.

"Hurry up!" Zhou Andong turned his head and shouted at Lian Kai at the same time: "A piping has appeared above, leave here immediately!"

Hearing Zhou Andong's warning, Lian Kai was shocked and didn't dare to delay for a moment. He hurriedly stepped on the accelerator and followed closely behind Wang Wentian's speedboat.

Zhou Andong knew that the breach was about forty meters, so he stopped after running more than a hundred meters. Then, everyone nervously watched the movement upstream.

Zhou Andong had been prepared mentally, so he was still calm, but Kang Yu couldn't do it. His face was pale, and his lips were a little purple.

"Comrade Lian Kai, send me to the embankment immediately. I want to go to Tushanzi Village to see how the relocation of the masses is going."

"Are you crazy?" Zhou Andong vaguely heard Kang Yu's words and roared: "A piping has appeared above, it will breach at any time, don't you want your life?"

Kang Yu roared back: "There are more than ten thousand masses over there. If something happens to them, what face do I have to live?"

Zhou Andong fell into silence. This was the second time he had dealt with Kang Yu. The first time was the acquisition of the Jinli County Winery, and this guy opened his mouth and asked for more than ten million.

But he didn't have any aversion to Kang Yu. After all, everyone had their own interests. He represented the Jiangzhou Winery, so naturally, the less money spent, the better. And Kang Yu represented Jinli County, so naturally, the higher the price sold, the better.

It was just that he never thought that at this dangerous moment, Kang Yu could say such words. He had to admit that among the leading cadres of this era, a small number were indeed worth killing, but most were still worthy of affirmation and admiration.

"If there is no breach, it doesn't make much sense for you to go." Zhou Andong shouted: "So just wait here and see the situation. Once the embankment breaches, our speedboat can drive out at the gap, and the speedboat is much faster than your two legs running."

Kang Yu thought it made sense, so he didn't ask to go ashore anymore, but stared fixedly upstream.

"Boom—"

Vaguely, a rumbling sound came from upstream, like muffled thunder. The sound was not loud, but it sounded very clear.

Several people shone their flashlights over at the same time, only to see the flood peak roaring and rolling over, the rumbling sound like thunder and drums.

"Damn it!" Zhou Andong cursed fiercely and roared hoarsely: "Hold on to the handrails."

Without him saying it, everyone grabbed whatever they could grab.

And Wang Wentian and Lian Kai grabbed the steering wheel tightly with both hands, adjusting the hull to let the bow face the rolling flood peak.

At the moment the flood peak hit, the speedboat was thrown up violently, then fell rapidly, and then was thrown up again.

That kind of rapid weightlessness made Kang Yu very uncomfortable, but he couldn't relax at all, and his hands grabbed the hull tightly.

Zhou Andong was fine. After all, he had practiced martial arts since he was a child, and this kind of weightlessness had no effect on him.

Moreover, he had been soaking in the Xiaoqing River behind Tanghezi Village since he was a child, and his swimming skills were not just bragging.

Plus he was wearing a life jacket, even in the flood, as long as he wasn't unlucky enough to be hit by heavy objects, he was confident he could get ashore.

Suddenly, the embankment above was instantly washed away by the flood peak, and the flood poured out along the gap.

On the other side, Chen Wenqi and the others suddenly discovered that the water had reached their chests, but they still didn't realize the danger and were still struggling to walk forward.

After walking for a few more minutes, suddenly, a rumbling sound of water came from the east, and waves slapped over one after another.

Seven or eight flashlights shone over at the same time, only to see a big wave like an unimaginable water wall pressing towards them, making people breathless, and in an instant, everyone was submerged in the water.

Just at the moment when people were dizzy, the human chain holding hands was washed away, and sixteen people could only drift with the waves, scattering in all directions.

"Secretary Chen!"

"Commander Han!"

The two guards brought by Han Shizhen had good swimming skills. They swam desperately in the flood, looking for the two leaders.

Lian Zhongyu couldn't swim. The moment he was slapped into the water by the wave, he thought that the embankment had breached. ===== CHAPTER 2161 =====
