Chapter 539 The Flag Fluttering in the Wind and Rain
Beside some of the collapsed houses, ragged parents are so anxious that they are shouting to the children trapped in the house to hold on.
Looking around, people were scattered all over the town.
The usually vibrant town of tens of thousands of people is now full of chaos.
They are at a loss, do not know how to deal with the disaster, what should they do?
In the face of the flood and natural disaster, how insignificant and humble the manpower appears!
An old teacher picks up his textbooks from the ground in front of the ruins of a dilapidated school.
Today, what was supposed to be the last class he took before retiring, he was filled with awe and emotion for the profession.
But a flood hit and broke everything, the school collapsed, and the classrooms were reduced to rubble.
Even the textbook in his hand was soaked by the flood, and half of it was gone.
thump.
The old teacher sat on the ground, his face full of despair and depression, and wept bitterly as he watched the old paradise turned into ruins.
Suddenly, a bright red flashed across his eyes, which made him stunned.
The school flagpole has long since collapsed. Where did the red flag come from?
He thought he had read it wrong, stood up slowly with the stone beside him, took off his glasses, rubbed them, and put them on again to look around.
On the hillside not far away, sure enough, there was a bright red flag fluttering in the wind, clearly visible.
The old teacher was stunned for a moment, but the next scene surprised him even more.
Under the bright red flag, a pair of soldiers in camouflage uniforms appeared, gradually occupying the entire hillside opposite.
It was like a scene of galloping horses, and the flag sailing against the wind and rain seemed to be rushing towards them with unprecedented hope.
"The flag? That's the flag!"
The old teacher was so excited, tears welled up in his eyes in an instant.
Standing upright tremblingly, he used all his strength and shouted in a hoarse voice: "The troops are here, the troops of the country are here! We are saved, folks, we are saved..."
Shouting and shouting, the old teacher couldn't stop crying.
But this.
Tears of joy, excitement, and tears of hope!
Hearing his voice from a distance, the residents of the nearby town were stunned, and looked at the opposite hill in unison.
When they saw the endless camouflage uniforms like a long dragon, and the military flag fluttering in the wind and rain, everyone couldn't stop crying.
"It's really the army!"
"Our troops are here!"
"Haha, it's saved! The troops are here to save us!"
At this moment, everyone is cheering and shouting.
"Don't be afraid, kid, hold on, uncle soldiers are here! I believe they will come to save you soon, you must persevere and don't give up..."
Next to the collapsed house, the two parents were very excited and encouraged their children.
The news spreads ten, ten spreads a hundred.
Soon, the whole town was boiling.
The arrival of the troops is to bring them the greatest hope.
In the magical land of the Dragon Kingdom, no matter how many natural disasters occur, how difficult it is.
They must be the first to appear, no matter how desperate, as long as they see the flying flags and troops, they all symbolize hope.
This cannot be done in any country in the world.
Perhaps, they are usually unknown and no one pays attention.
But as long as the country needs it, they must be the ones who stand at the forefront to prevent disasters for the masses.
You don't need to remember their names, just know that they are soldiers of the Dragon Kingdom.
In today's peaceful and prosperous world, they are the most shining stars of the country!
Lu Yu led the large army and quickly rushed into the town.
Standing at the height of the ruins, Lu Yu shouted: "From now on, the respective captains will lead the teams to disperse. If you see any fellow villagers who need help or are trapped, help them immediately! I'll give you half an hour to clear out the town, and you must be trapped. rescued the victims.”
"Yes!" The crowd roared and dispersed.
Lu Yu looked around: "Who is the mayor?"
"I am! I am the mayor, and here I am..."
Immediately, a voice came from the side, and a middle-aged man ran over panting.
Lu Yu glanced at him and jumped off the stone: "Are you the mayor? I need you to follow my orders next!"
The other party nodded again and again, grabbing Lu Yu's hand excitedly: "Chief, are you finally here? The people in our town have been trapped for three days, with nothing to eat or drink. If no one cares, we will not be able to support it. Going down, on behalf of the villagers, I thank you..."
"Okay, you are too polite."
Lu Yu hurriedly said: "Now, listen to me about three things, you have to do it for me, so that I can save you all."
The mayor immediately became serious: "Head, you said, as long as I can save everyone, I will definitely do it!"
Lu Yu calmly analyzed: "I received the news when I came. In less than three hours, this place will face the second round of flood peaks. If it is washed away again, the people here will face great danger."
what!
The mayor's complexion changed greatly, and his face was full of horror.
The previous round of Hongfeng's transit had caused heavy losses to their town, and he would never forget that scene in his life.
If another flood hits, God knows what will happen?
The entire town was in ruins, and there was nowhere to hide, and tens of thousands of villagers would probably be washed away by the water.
Lu Yu looked at him solemnly: "Now, the time will be very short, so the first thing you must do is to gather the people in the town as soon as possible and give them food! The second thing, help me evacuate, I am here. When you pass through a high ground, the terrain is very high, and the flood should not be able to drown, so you can hide there temporarily."
As he spoke, he pointed to the route from which he came.
"My people will help you, but you should also help us to publicize. Let's work together to protect the elderly, women and children first, and move all those who do not fall to a safe area!"
"Chief, don't worry, even if I risk my life, I will do it!" The mayor nodded vigorously.
"It's not that serious, just let you publicize it, and leave the desperate things to our soldiers."
Lu Yu nodded slightly: "Besides, the last thing, let me ask you a question, where is the dam here?"
The mayor said: "The dam is just upstream, about seven or eight kilometers away from our town..."
He pointed out the location of the dam to Lu Yu in detail.
Lu Yu took note of the position and nodded.
Time was imminent, and Lu Yu didn't want to delay too much, so he handed over the command of the townspeople to He Zhijun.
He himself took several hundred people from Brigade A, including He Chenguang and Wang Yanbing, and rushed towards the upstream dam.
In fact, Lu Yu was not sure whether it would work if he brought many people.
But in the face of natural disasters, the number of people is small, and it has little effect.
In the face of the monstrous and ferocious flood, the power of human beings is so small that it can be ignored.
He can only ensure that he has enough strength as much as possible, and then... he will do his best and obey the destiny!
