Chapter 278: Embankment collapse crisis, unexpected danger (please order)(1/2)

 When Wang Ye and the others ran over, they happened to hear Wu Jianfeng shouting: "Quick, quick, pull people up with all your strength!"

Soon, Wang Ye and the others also saw, under the interweaving lights of flashlights and headlamps, a person was pulled out of the water on the other side of the flood control wall.

"No, no, the water flow is too fast and the impact is too strong. I feel like I still can't sink down to find the hole!"

Lying on the flood wall made of sandbags, his body was pulled by a rope to prevent him from being washed away by the water.

At this time, Zheng Ke was panting hard.

Underwater is too strenuous.

He just went down holding a sandbag.

But as soon as the water rushed in, he was completely unable to sink to the bottom even if he was holding a sandbag. Just like flying a kite, with a rope tied to his body, he was directly floating in the water. No matter how hard he tried to control it,

It's all in vain to move your body down.

"Substitute, how about I give it a try!" Kang Hua stepped forward and spoke.

"No, no, this time, just tie two sandbags to my body, and then I will carry another bag down."

"What nonsense are you talking about? If a sandbag is tied to your body, if the rope comes off, is there any difference between you and death?"

As soon as Zheng Ke finished speaking, Wu Jianfeng cursed loudly.

It’s extremely risky for a person to go into the water tied with a rope, but why go into the water with a sandbag tied to his body?

If the rope gets loose or breaks, there is still a chance to float up and be rescued without a sandbag tied to the body. However, if a sandbag is tied to the body, it will sink directly to the bottom.

Under this torrential flood, even if I want to find a body, I don’t know where to look.”

"It's not a big problem!" Zheng Ke looked at Wu Jianfeng and said, "Our rope can't be broken so easily. Just control your time and pull me up."

Speaking of this, he added: "And there is no other way now. The water is so fast that it is really impossible to go down without adding weight!"

Wu Jianfeng was silent, and after a few seconds: "Then add another rope.

Quick, bring me another rope and tie another one!"

"No need!"

Zheng Ke wanted to refuse, but Wu Jianfeng gave a strong order: "This is an order, listen to me!"

In the end, Zheng Ke had no choice but to obey the order, and tied another rope to his waist, and then tied two sandbags directly to his back with the rope, waiting for him to hold another one in his arms.

"Plop."

Without saying anything, he immediately released his grip on the flood wall when he was ready, and quickly sank underwater along with the rushing floodwaters.

Wang Zhiyi raised his eyebrows, this job is really scary.

In fact, he and Zheng Ke are not very close.

Zheng Ke is in the company, and he rarely smiles even when he is opposite him.

He always had a sullen face, and Wang Ye rarely communicated with him.

But at this time, Wang Ye really admired his courage and really prayed in his heart that nothing would happen to him.

Underwater.

Zheng Ke kept his eyes open.

In the turbid flood, his eyes were unbearably swollen, and when he opened his eyes wide, the visibility was only a few centimeters, but now he came down close to the shore.

Different from before, this time I have two more sandbags on my back.

So he sank smoothly.

And this time, very quickly, he rushed forward after coming down from the river embankment.

This is moved by the current.

At this moment, his expression changed drastically.

It was not that he felt that he was in danger, but that after rushing forward, he knew that he had found the place.

But it was also because of this that his expression changed drastically.

Because his whole body was taken directly in, at least one meter deep.

But he didn't touch the surrounding edges.

This is terrifying.

This means that the place below is not a leaky hole at all, but a big pit.

A big crater collapsed.

He tried his best to sink to the bottom, but it was useless. The water inside was more intense. In just a moment, he was swept out by the water.

"Quick, pull up!"

Wu Jianfeng on the shore has been watching the time.

Zheng Ke can hold his breath for two minutes at a time, but the time he and Zheng Ke agreed upon was to pull him up after one minute and twenty seconds.

So when the time came, he gave the order.

Many veterans on the side were pulling on the rope, and upon hearing the order, they immediately pulled back with all their strength.

Wang Ye kept watching nervously, but fortunately there was no accident.

There was no incident of the rope breaking or the person pulling the rope missing.

Also, the ropes in the army are all specially made. Even though it is not a big one, its bearing capacity is enough to support two squads in a tug of war.

Soon, Zheng Ke, who had lost the sandbags in his arms and was carrying only two sandbags, was pulled out of the water.

Wu Jianfeng and the others hurried to the flood control wall and leaned forward to catch him.

"Hu~hu~"

Panting heavily, Zheng Ke took a few breaths and then directly told the bad news he got below.

For a moment, the faces of those nearby who heard his voice on the river embankment changed.

The worst case scenario has occurred.

If it’s just a small hole, you can find a way to plug it up.

But a big hole has collapsed.

Floods kept pounding inside.

The sediment in the river embankment is constantly being taken away. How long the river embankment can last depends entirely on the sky.

If you are lucky, if the flood recedes and the embankment has not collapsed, then it can be repaired afterwards.

If your fate is bad, you may not know that this place will collapse in the next moment.

"Company Commander, we must call for help. The hole below is too big to be repaired by manpower. Even if we try to throw the sandbags inside, they will be washed away by the water. We have to use a machine to come here!"

"Okay! Come here first!"

Wu Jianfeng looked ugly.

"Let's go back and continue making sandbags!"

After hearing the news and seeing that Zheng Ke had come up safely, Wang Ye no longer stayed here.

Although he is also worried about the situation here, it is useless to worry now. He has no way to repair the river embankment.

I can only continue to do my own thing.

He led a group of recruits who had thrown down their sandbags and ran back to the place where they were digging sand.

"Brother Wang, won't this river embankment really collapse?"

Peng Yuhang held the bag and kept looking back towards the river embankment as he spoke.

"I don't know, let's see what the company commander and the others do.

We are doing our job well now, but if the embankment breaks, we can only accept our fate!"

Wang Ye felt a little weak.

Ever since he was reborn and joined the army, Wang Ye has always had the feeling that everything is under control.

But this time facing a natural disaster really made Wang Ye realize the reality.

Even if you cheat yourself, it is definitely not enough to face the dangers of nature.

The game he played is not invincible, nor can it turn him into a superman and end disasters by himself like the Superman in those Hollywood blockbusters.

Soon, Wang Ye knew how Wu Jianfeng and the others decided.

Be prepared.

To prepare for the embankment breach, a small box truck and a van that happened to be in the village were transferred here.

Wang Ye and a group of veterans now have to fill two cars with sandbags.

The second step was to coordinate and mobilize an excavator.
