Chapter 115 The joys and sorrows of human beings are connected at this moment
Rumble…
In the dark night, a dull sound came from nowhere.
However, at this moment, the official surnamed Jiang could no longer tell whether the muffled sound was thunder, an earthquake, a building being washed away, a helicopter flying over, or the sound of a moving vehicle.
Wearing a black raincoat, he stood at a gathering point outside the exit of the Shanghai Expressway.
At this moment, the truck convoy has begun to set off.
Drive towards Jinling along the still passable road.
The outline of the convoy could barely be seen in the darkness, and there was an unspeakable heavy pressure.
"How many people are still stranded in the first batch?"
he asked.
Someone next to me replied: "There are about 200,000 people."
"Two hundred thousand...two hundred thousand...for the railway..."
"Emergency repairs are already underway, but the earthquake destroyed many sections of the road, which have not yet been verified, making it difficult for trains to pass."
“What about river transport?”
"...The typhoon destroyed many ships, and now all coastal areas are robbing ships,
The first batch of our fleet has already set off, and the second batch will arrive at about 21:00.
But...but many people have heard about the sinking ship.
So there was a commotion down there, and many people were determined not to take the boat."
The official below said hesitantly.
The official surnamed Jiang was silent for a long time after hearing this, and then sighed deeply.
"Don't sit... don't sit... Now they still have a choice. If they wait two more days, I'm afraid they won't be able to leave even if they want to!"
After a pause, he continued: "What was the situation like during the previous earthquake?"
The official below was confused: "Well... we haven't gotten the data yet."
suddenly.
A voice came over: "The situation will not be better than we thought."
The Director of the Second Division walked over. He was not wearing a raincoat, but he was not wet at all. Powerful spiritual energy waves trembled around him, blocking out any raindrops.
A beam of light swept over, illuminating his resolute and majestic face.
It was only at this moment that the official named Jiang remembered that the other party was a powerful practitioner.
"It is impossible to count the earthquake situation, and just now, we received changes in cloud images from satellite observations.
A new wave of storms is coming, and those who still refuse to evacuate will soon give up and seek to leave, and we will not be able to provide sufficient transportation capacity."
The director of the Second Division was so angry that the surrounding raindrops trembled as he uttered his voice.
"What do you mean..." the official named Jiang asked.
"The first batch of transportation teams has begun to leave. We need people with sufficient status to accompany the vehicles. The vehicle arranged for you is ready."
"What do you mean? You want me to lead that group of people to evacuate?"
"yes."
"If I leave, what will happen here in the city? There are at least eight to nine million people stranded here!"
"I'll stay and I'll do the rest of the work," said the director of the Second Department.
The official named Jiang was silent.
Both of them knew very well what this meant.
The evacuation route has been planned, and the temporary resettlement area in Jinling has been prepared. It only takes a few hours to follow the steps...
It only takes a dozen hours at most to bring people there, and then the rest is resettlement work in situ. Although it is tedious, it is less stressful.
And staying in the Magic City means facing the pressure of moving tens of millions of people.
Many of them may be seriously injured and require medical treatment.
The storm is about to come again. In this case, treatment does not exist at all, and the transportation capacity cannot keep up.
This means that the officials who stay behind need to face the possibility of riots involving millions of people.
Or... responsible for the deaths of millions of people!
The two looked at each other in silence.
After a while, the official surnamed Jiang said calmly: "You go and lead the evacuation team, I will stay."
Seeing that the Director of the Second Division was about to speak, the official named Jiang stared at him and said in a tone that left no room for doubt:
"Although you are the head of the temporary command center,
But don’t forget, I am the supreme governor of this city!
When necessary, you must obey my orders! That’s it!”
After saying that, the official surnamed Jiang supported his tired body and strode away.
The director of the Second Division was left standing there in shock.
A bolt of lightning rumbled in the sky.
The rain suddenly intensified.
…
"Boom..."
"Crackling..."
Cheng Lin was sitting in the dark truck bed and clearly heard the sound of thunder, and then the sound of suddenly increasing raindrops hitting the rainproof cloth above his head.
This indicates that the rain will become heavier again.
The young man sitting opposite was originally holding a plastic bag to block the gap.
The rain was so fierce that the plastic bag was blown away, and a large puddle of water accumulated on the raincloth suddenly fell down with a loud bang.
It woke him up completely from his drowsiness.
After scolding him for a few times, he blocked her again angrily, becoming extremely angry.
But this way he can be considered energetic.
"Hey, brother, do you have a cigarette?"
He said to a bald middle-aged man next to him.
A bald man had a sleeping woman leaning on his shoulder. His black hair was spread out, covering most of his face. He glanced at the woman first, then took out a deflated cigarette case from his pocket and said:
"It's soaked and can't be lit."
"... Dry chewing is also fine."
"...Then give it to you."
"Thank you."
The young man opened a cigarette, took out only the tobacco, put it in his mouth and chewed it, and started chatting while chewing.
First we started talking about the district where we live and what our job is. As we chatted, we inevitably talked about the current situation and then the future.
"Are we going to Jinling?"
"It should be."
"Then we can get there by car in three o'clock."
"Xuan, this car is going slow."
"We can always arrive before dawn that day. I didn't even eat at night..."
"We should be able to get there."
"Brother, is that sister-in-law next to you?" the young man chewing tobacco said with a smile.
"It's the mistress." The bald middle-aged man said calmly.
"...My brother is quite charming." The young man said with envy.
"good."
At this time, the woman seemed to be awakened, and she made a sound and muttered: "Where are you?"
The young man who had just taken out a cigarette from the cigarette case and was about to open it was startled when he heard the sound.
He looked up in shock: "Daughter-in-law?"
…
Cheng Lin silently watched the three people fighting across from him, and was speechless for a moment.
The good and heavy atmosphere was ruined.
He sighed and was about to break up the fight, when suddenly he felt the car stop suddenly.
Several people fighting suddenly fell down due to inertia.
"Why did the car stop?"
“Have you arrived at Jinling?”
"Why is this still in the wilderness?"
People asked one after another.
Not long after, news came from the front:
The road was closed due to earthquakes and heavy rains.
…
The road is indeed broken.
The queue was too long, and although Cheng Lin was already relatively far ahead, the specific reason was still unknown.
But he didn't care either.
But others care.
It's been so dark and so much time has passed, so many people feel hungry.
Only some of those who came out brought dry food with them, and most of them were still waiting for relief from the government.
If you keep riding in the car, you can still bear it.
But once we stop, eating becomes a big problem.
The government is supposed to deliver food, but if the road is blocked, how will it be delivered?
Cheng Lin felt suffocated for a moment, opened the raincloth, jumped out of the car, stood by the road, and looked at the dark distant mountains.
A message suddenly appeared in my mind:
[Congratulations on completing the task (5)]
[You look at this dense night quietly, with no joy or sadness in your heart]
[The fighting and cursing in Yubuli continues, and the rain keeps seeping in]
[A woman in the car next door had a high fever and was in a coma. She was dying. As she lay dying, she called out the names of her children and husband]
[On the water beach on the ground, I don’t know who dropped the mobile phone, and a happy song is playing]
[Someone in the car behind is laughing, and the laughter is full of bitterness]
[A wild cat died silently in the forest beside the road]
[Gunshots were heard in the distance, I don’t know what happened]
[A train stopped on the tracks, as motionless as a turtle]
[On a small road, a man fleeing in a private car angrily hammered his horn]
…
[The joys and sorrows of human beings are connected at this moment, but you still feel noisy]
