Chapter 99 Speechless ([-])

If you said you couldn't see clearly last night, then it's already past six o'clock and you can see it from drones and helicopters. How can you still say that?Zhang Lan doesn't believe that there are floods in the entire southwest of Canghe City. The city leaders don't know the reason for what they are saying now.

Zhang Lan flipped through her phone and looked at the next video released by this media account. Looking at the narrator's introduction, Zhang Lan roughly understood.The entire river embankment in the west of Canghe City is still intact, but in the eyes of the leaders, the occasional overflow of water should quickly flow out along the downstream river.

The flood has been blocked, the downstream is still draining water, and it no longer rains. Doesn't that mean that the water level will get lower and lower?

However, it is nearly ten kilometers from the breach to Canghe City. What is the use of sealing only that part of the river embankment in the urban area? Now the flood has spread along the road and farmland at the junction of the two cities. The several kilometers of rivers and rivers in the middle are The land on both sides is already flat.

I hope the city leaders are right. Although Zhang Lan is pessimistic, she still hopes there will be a good ending.After eating, Zhang Lan continued to drive to the road in front of Shanglin Village. Before he reached the place where he parked yesterday, there was already calf-deep water on both sides of the road.

Zhang Lan in the car breathed a sigh of relief. Under the current situation, Zhang Lan completely did not believe the so-called water level in the city would drop.

I drove along the outer ring road toward the city. After going around twice, I inquired with a traffic policeman on the side of the road who was rescuing a vehicle.There is one road into the city that is still possible.Looking at the stalled car, Zhang Lan asked and turned around, pulled out the tow hook and towed the car to a place where there was no water.

I stopped the car and put away the tow hook. I took out my phone and checked it. Fortunately, I had a signal.I quickly called my mother and told her to call relatives in the city as it was impossible for the water level to drop.It will only get higher and higher. Now while the roads are still open, Zhang Lan can pick them up if they leave. He will drive into the city immediately.

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Lan took out a cigarette and handed one to the traffic policeman next to him.Looking at his red eyes, he probably hadn't slept well in the past few days. The traffic policeman waved his hand at him, and Zhang Lan put away the cigarette.

Most of the roads in the city are impassable. Except for some high-riding vehicles, ordinary family cars cannot enter the city at all.

The water in the place where Zhang Lan asked for directions had already reached his calves, and except for the occasional truck, there were basically no cars passing by.

I asked the traffic policeman and found out that he came here to direct traffic this morning after the water got deep. He would go elsewhere after waiting for people from nearby villages to arrive.

After returning to the car, the phone rang. It was Zhang Lan's mother.His mother said that Zhang Lan's aunt Li Xiulan was now in a community in the city. The community had lost water and electricity. His aunt was now at home with Zhang Lan's cousin Yang Jingjing, and asked Zhang Lan where to pick them up.

Zhang Lan thought for a while and said, "I'll call my aunt when I get to the city. Mom, you don't have to worry about it. I'll wait until I drive into the city. I don't know where I can go now."

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Lan drove towards the city.We were driving just past the moat bridge. After driving off the bridge and walking not far, we were stopped by people in front of us.He was told that the water on the road ahead was up to his thighs, and except for large trucks and forklifts, small cars could no longer pass.

Zhang Lan looked at the surrounding situation and found a place to stop the car.After locking the car, he called his aunt and asked her to pack her things, and he would wade over to pick them up in a moment.After hanging up the phone, Zhang Lan called Zhang Hu. She originally wanted to ask him about the store, but it turned out that he was busy dealing with the moat.There happened to be a flood this year, and he was finally contracted to dredge the moat. Many things could not be explained clearly. Zhang Lan and Zhang Lan hung up the phone after chatting for a few words.

Zhang Lan took a ride with a truck that drove people back and forth in the city to rescue people, and agreed with the driver to let him use the intercom to notify if anyone was going to the west to see someone off and pass by the community here.After wading through the water to the downstairs of my aunt's house, the water in the community was already up to my knees. The entrance and exit of the underground garage could not be sealed at all. No wonder there were water and power outages.

I walked up to the 8th floor. When I arrived at the door, Aunt Zhang Lan had already packed everything.Zhang Lan looked at the huge suitcase and quickly stopped it. He would have to wade through the water when he went downstairs later, so it would be best to put the contents in the suitcase in large plastic bags.

After listening to Zhang Lan's words, Aunt Zhang Lan took out the things from the suitcase again.Zhang Lan watched from the side and picked out everything he had at home. In the end, he brought nothing else except clothes and facial cleanser.

Put the packed things in large plastic bags, then put two more bags, and finally put them into a fertilizer bag.Zhang Lan couldn't help laughing and said: "Auntie didn't expect you still have this bag at home."

"I was also a farmer a few years ago, and now I still have an old house on the mountain in my hometown. It's normal to have this bag, and it's easy to use and convenient." Aunt Zhang Lan said while holding a rope to tie the belt.

Zhang Lan put the bag on his shoulder, turned around and said to his aunt Li Xiulan: "Let's go, aunt, go and catch a ride downstairs. Leave early and feel at ease."

When they got downstairs, Zhang Lan grabbed the bag on her shoulder with one hand. Her aunt Li Xiulan took her cousin Yang Jingjing and waded through the water to the gate of the community. A large truck was parked at the gate of the community to pull people.After asking the driver, he heard someone was leaving here through the intercom, so he took a turn.

The three of them climbed into the large truck. Zhang Lan put the bags on the truck, turned around and started pulling the others into the truck.After waiting for half an hour, the bus was almost full and the driver drove everyone to the west embankment.

Zhang Lan carried the bag and led his aunt and cousin Yang Jingjing to the car and put the things in the car.He started the car and turned around, lowered the window and asked the people next to him if they were going to Qingshan Village. After getting three more people in the car, Zhang Lan drove out of the city.

The phone rang on the way. Zhang Lan looked to see if it was his mother Li Ying. After answering the call, he handed the phone to the co-pilot's aunt.You know what your mother wants to ask without asking, and it doesn’t matter who answers.

The two sisters chatted on the phone. Zhang Lan said while driving: "Auntie, ask my mother if my aunt can pick her up there? If so, ask her to pack her things and come out to pick someone up on the roadside. The big car. Take the car to the bridge just now, and I will turn around to pick them up after a while. "

Aunt Zhang Lan asked on the phone and said: "My mother said, you don't need to worry about Auntie. She has water, electricity and internet at home now. Uncle Xie is watching by the river embankment now. There is nothing in the house now." After packing up, the car drove to the national highway in the east of the city. The national highway in the east of the city is on high ground and there is no water there. When the river embankment could no longer be maintained, they went directly to the national highway and drove around at high speed."

"Don't worry about it, it'll be fine." Zhang Lan said and drove home.
