Chapter 972

Li Long was more worried than them that the person who was washed down would have an accident. He ran rapidly toward the river beach, shouting while running:

"Don't go into the river! Use a rope! Use a rope to pull the person up, don't go into the river!"

The flood rushed down suddenly, and the water force was very great, mixed with quite a lot of wood, grass roots, stones, and other debris. If a person goes down, without sufficient strength, they will soon be knocked unconscious by the debris in the water, and then they will only have to rely on their own luck.

Some people among Meng Hai and the others heard the sound and hurriedly went to the small four-wheeled tractor to find a rope, while others ran along with the person in the water, wanting to find a suitable place to save the person.

Ma Xiao Yan also followed the people to run, but her speed was a bit slow, and this river beach was not flat, and some places were not suitable for people to walk, so she fell behind.

When Li Long rushed to the front, he stuffed the gun into her hand and pulled her arm up:

"Don't get close! The water is still rising, don't let you get rolled in too!"

After saying that, Li Long strode over.

The Type 56 semi-automatic rifle weighed three or four kilograms. Ma Xiao Yan only felt a weight in her hand, and then she was lifted to a high place.

Then, with a flash before her eyes, she saw that Li Long had already run far away. His speed was extremely fast, and he had already surpassed Meng Hai and the others, and was side-by-side with the person in the water who was being rolled by waves and debris.

Ma Xiao Yan's news sensitivity was very high. She stuffed the gun into the hands of a villager who had just rushed over at the first moment, saying: "Hold the gun well! Go to a high place!"

After saying that, she held up her camera and chased after him again. Fortunately, at this time, she remembered Li Long's words and tried her best not to get close to the water's edge—because she also saw that the river water was still rising rapidly.

Li Long surpassed Meng Hai and the others and moved forward following the water head, shouting while running:

"Rope, rope!"

However, the person who got the rope was still running here. At this time, the person in the water was five or six meters away from the shore. This stretch of river water was not very rapid, but the debris in the water kept knocking the person in the water over. He couldn't stand up at all, his two hands were paddling wildly, and his head was sinking and floating, looking very dangerous.

It's okay, he still has self-rescue consciousness, which shows it's not very dangerous. Li Long thought of a way while observing—the best thing is to have a rope, throw it over. At this time, that person sticks his head out from time to time, obviously having the consciousness to want to ask for help. As long as the rope is thrown over and the other party holds it, he can pull the person up.

"The rope is here, the rope is here!" Someone shouted from behind. Li Long was overjoyed. When he turned his head to look, he found a villager running over, holding a roll of rope in his hand, and while running, he was unraveling the rope.

After unraveling it, he ran to the river bank. When Li Long reached out to take it, that person flicked his hand and threw the rope into the river—wanting to throw it beside that person.

As a result, the end of the rope did land on that person's head. Li Long even said in his heart that this person threw it quite accurately. Unexpectedly, this person said "Ouch," and Li Long looked at his hand again, so angry he wanted to vomit blood!

He threw it too hard and didn't hold onto the rope in his own hand; this end of the rope also went into the water!

"Are you stupid!" Meng Hai, who followed over, was also furious, "How could this end of the rope fall?"

The rope was quickly washed away by the water, and even if they wanted to fish it out, they couldn't—however, the one in the water was obviously half-unconscious. The end of the rope fell on his head, he grabbed it wildly but didn't catch it, and then he didn't have any action to grab the rope again.

Must hurry to save the person, otherwise this one probably won't be able to survive!

"Old Meng, hurry and go get the rope in the trunk of my jeep!" Li Long shouted. He was afraid that if he called some other person to go, they would commit a stupid act again in a while, and by then, he estimated he would have to sacrifice himself too.

Meng Hai hesitated after hearing this, but looked at the people around him, thought about the stupid act that villager just committed, gritted his teeth, turned around, and ran toward the jeep.

"Ah—it's dangerous!"

Someone screamed. Li Long saw a piece of wood as thick as a bowl being wrapped by a wave and smashed onto the back of the person in the water. That person was directly smashed into the water, and it took a long while before he floated up, and then sank and floated with the water, seemingly having lost consciousness.

Li Long knew he couldn't wait any longer. This matter of repairing the road was originally a great good deed. If human lives were lost in the repair, then the trouble would be big!

Taking off his backpack and throwing it outside, Li Long rushed down into the water!

His own quality far exceeded that of ordinary people, so he should be able to persist in the water for a while longer!

"You guys don't come down anymore. After Old Meng comes over, you guys use the rope to pull me!" Li Long shouted at the few people following the water head when he went into the water.

He didn't want to save one and then have to save another. When he saw the news, a certain police officer brother saved many people, and then he himself was washed down. He was originally reported missing, and many people cried bitterly. Unexpectedly, he was washed downstream by the water, and after self-rescuing to the shore, he saved more than ten people... Li Long envied such a person, but he knew himself, he couldn't do it!

The water force is very great, and damn, the water is really icy!

What the mountain flood carries down is not only debris but also glacial meltwater from upstream, which is really cold!

After going down two meters from the shore, the water had already reached his thighs. Li Long shivered, but had to stride toward that person following the water force!

However, on the shore, his speed was very fast and he could keep up with the water force. Once in the water, walking like this made his speed slow down instead, and soon he was left behind by that person—doing this not only couldn't save the person, but he might also be in trouble himself!

Li Long had to lie down and swim forward!

He only knew how to dog-paddle. Fortunately, the water force was fast and great, and his arms and legs only needed to use a little force, and the water force would send him forward—it's just that there was a lot of debris in the water, and things were constantly colliding with him, cold and painful!

But this speed was much faster, and soon he approached the person who was washed away by the water. Li Long tentatively looked at the water depth, and as a result, as soon as his feet touched the bottom, the water surface had already reached his neck—damn, at least 1.5 meters deep!

Calm water being this deep is nothing, but this flood force is great, and he simply couldn't stand firmly!

But at this time, he couldn't care about so many things. He stood on tiptoe, and his body suddenly lunged forward. This time he got close to that person. Thinking of the experiences mentioned on the video platform before, never let the person being saved grab your arms or body. The best way is to grab his collar or hair—otherwise, he will drag you into the water!

He also remembered a video where that woman jumped into the river, and the police went to save her. As a result, she pushed away the rope thrown down from the shore twice, and finally, the police officer was powerless and sank. This woman was eventually saved—known by people as the female water ghost, and subsequently perfectly disappeared.

Soon he approached that person. Li Long reached out to grab his collar. The water rushed, and Li Long felt a great force behind him. He vaguely heard someone shouting on the shore, and something hit his body—turning his head to look, it was a section of a tree branch with leaves, the cut was very new, obviously broken by the flood.

A burning pain spread throughout his body. He knew he was injured, but the hand he reached out still grabbed hard. He didn't grab the other party's neck, but grabbed the other party's arm.

Li Long's heart was overjoyed, thinking that even if he was injured, as long as he grabbed the person and saved him, it was worth it!

Those people on the shore all let out a long breath. Just now, when Li Long was hit by the wood rolling in the water, everyone was sweating, fearing that Li Long would be hit into the water and not come out.

Ma Xiao Yan ran to a high place, adjusted her camera, and hurriedly took a photo. At this time, she wished she could jump into the water and follow Li Long to save the person, but she knew that even if she jumped down, it wouldn't have any effect. It would be better to take the photo here, preserve the photo of this deed well, and when it is publicized later, it will be able to influence others more.

Meng Hai hurriedly ran to the jeep, rummaged through the trunk in a flurry to find the rope, and then turned around and ran to the river beach, shouting while running:

"Don't go into the water casually!"

He ran to the water's edge and saw Li Long, who was rising and falling in the flood, had already grabbed the villager Su Qiangqiang who had been rolled in. He shouted with great joy:

"Comrade Li Long, catch it, I'm throwing the rope over!"

He wrapped one end of the rope around his wrist and threw the other end over with force, just landing near Li Long.

Li Long heard Meng Hai's voice. When he reached out to grab the rope, he felt his arm tighten. That villager actually woke up, and the instinct to survive made him grab Li Long's arm tightly, and then he reached out wanting to hug Li Long. Is this the last straw that a person falling into the water wants to grab?

The rope landed on the side. Li Long could have reached it, but he was entangled by this villager, and the rope drifted away with the water. Li Long had no choice but to struggle and couldn't let this person control him.

"Hey! Just a little bit! He had already grabbed it, why did Comrade Li Long let go?" The people watching on the shore were very anxious.

"What's wrong with Su Qiangqiang? Why does it look like he wants to press Comrade Li Long into the water?" Someone discovered the clue and shouted loudly.
