Qi Tongwei throws a sniper rifle, scaring Hou Liangping and Sha Ruijin to their knees

The disaster relief operation is in full swing, and the disaster-stricken areas of Lincheng are bustling with activity. On the ruins, rescue workers are racing against time, some are moving heavy bricks and stones with bare hands, and some are carefully escorting the injured to temporary medical centers. The continuous roar of various rescue equipment, intertwined with the shouts of the people, plays a melody of fighting against the disaster.

Qi Tongwei was leading the police officers to dig hard in a ruin, trying to find the survivors buried deep inside. They had been working for hours, their clothes soaked with sweat, and everyone's face was covered with dust. They were exhausted but their eyes were determined. At this moment, the crowd not far away automatically parted, and the mayor of Lincheng walked over with a hurried but steady pace. He was wearing a simple jacket, his hair was a little messy, and his eyes were full of worries about the disaster and concern for the rescuers.

The mayor walked straight to Qi Tongwei, stretched out his hand, and firmly shook Qi Tongwei's dusty and scratched hand. His voice was slightly hoarse but full of affection: "Comrade Qi Tongwei, on behalf of the people of Lincheng, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to you and your team. I have seen it all along the way. You have worked so hard."

Qi Tongwei stood at attention with an upright posture, saluted with a standard military salute, and responded: "Mayor, this is our duty. It is our responsibility to protect the lives and property of the people. " His voice was a little dry due to shouting for a long time, but it revealed an unquestionable firmness.

The mayor nodded slightly, his eyes revealing emotion: "Do you know? Lincheng's peace today is inseparable from your past efforts. In the past, you were a hero who rushed to the front in the anti-drug battlefield. At that time, drug dealers were rampant and many families were broken apart. It was you who led your brothers to investigate and arrest day and night, putting your own life and death aside, and finally made Lincheng completely get rid of the haze of drugs."

Qi Tongwei's thoughts were drawn back to those thrilling years of drug prohibition. In the dim underground warehouse, drug dealers were extremely vicious and gunfire was everywhere. With his agility and fearless courage, he shuttled through the hail of bullets, just to bring the drug dealers to justice and give the people a drug-free living environment. Those life-and-death struggles were like a brand engraved in his heart.

The mayor went on to say, "Now that disaster has struck, you have stepped forward without hesitation and demonstrated your amazing versatility. I heard that you used your first aid skills to save many people at the rescue site, which was a great help. The entire Handong Province police force should follow your example."

Qi Tongwei shook his head modestly: "Mayor, you are too kind. In this critical moment, learning more skills can save more lives. Everyone is working hard, I just did what I could."

The surrounding police officers and some people heard this and looked at him with admiration. A young police officer couldn't help but interrupt: "Captain Qi, you are our role model. We are not afraid of hardship or fatigue when we follow you!" Everyone nodded in agreement, their eyes full of trust and enthusiasm.

Qi Tongwei looked around at the busy rescue site with a solemn and determined expression: "Mayor, the disaster relief is still going on. Now is not the time to talk about this. We must go all out and live up to the expectations of the people of Lincheng until we completely defeat this disaster and bring the city back to life."

The mayor patted Qi Tongwei on the shoulder, his eyes full of trust and expectation: "Okay, I feel relieved with your words. The people of Lincheng will definitely get through this. If you need any support, feel free to ask, the government will fully cooperate with you."

After a simple but powerful exchange, the mayor rushed to the next disaster site for inspection, while Qi Tongwei turned around and threw himself into the intense rescue work again. He waved the tools in his hands and shouted loudly to boost morale, and his figure seemed particularly tall in the ruins. Under his leadership, the rescuers became more courageous. They knew that although this battle against the disaster was difficult, victory would surely belong to them and the strong people of Lincheng.

The haze of disaster weighed heavily over Lincheng like a heavy leaden cloud. The violent tremors of the earth had just stopped, but the pain under the ruins was still tearing people's hearts. The pungent smell of dust filled the air, mixed with the survivors' cries of grief and the continuous roar of rescue equipment, forming a miserable and tragic picture. The whole city was like a wounded giant, struggling to breathe among the ruins, and urgently needed rescue and rebirth.

The Handong Provincial Party Committee urgently convened a disaster relief meeting. The lights in the conference room were bright but the atmosphere was solemn. The large screen on the wall played the tragic situation in the disaster area in real time. The officials looked solemn and talked among themselves. The secretary of the provincial party committee sat at the head of the conference table, his brows knitted, and his eyes were examining the disaster report in his hand. Every page of paper carried the suffering and expectations of the people of Lincheng. Suddenly, he raised his head abruptly and looked at Qi Tongwei firmly. His voice was steady and powerful, breaking the whispers and noise in the room: "Comrade Qi Tongwei, the situation is now extremely critical, and disaster relief is urgent. Your performance in the early disaster relief is obvious to all. Whether it is your organizational and coordination skills or your courage to lead by example, you are a model. I have decided to appoint you as the chairman of the Disaster Relief Committee. You will lead this difficult and extraordinary disaster relief operation. Do you have the confidence?"

Qi Tongwei stood up in a flash, his posture as tall as a pine or cypress, and saluted with a standard military salute, his eyes piercing like a burning torch: "Secretary, rest assured, I, Qi Tongwei, will do my best to live up to the trust of the organization! As long as I am still alive, I will never give up any corner of Lincheng or any citizen!" At that moment, the atmosphere in the conference room was extremely solemn, and everyone knew what this heavy responsibility meant. It carries the hope of countless lives and shoulders the mission of urban rebirth, and Qi Tongwei's resolute eyes are like a ray of dawn, allowing everyone to see the possibility of breaking through the darkness.

The provincial party secretary nodded slightly, his expression relaxed a little, his eyes showing some relief and trust. He turned to look at Sha Ruijin, and said earnestly: "Comrade Sha Ruijin, you have just arrived in Handong and may not be familiar with the situation here, but at this moment, we must work together to overcome the difficulties. You must also fully cooperate with Comrade Qi Tongwei's work, and we will overcome this difficulty together." Sha Ruijin's expression was solemn, and he nodded solemnly, his eyes showing determination: "Secretary, don't worry, in this time of crisis, I will definitely assist Comrade Qi Tongwei with all my strength without reservation. The people of Handong need us to fight side by side. At this moment, there is no distinction between you and me, just to protect this land."

At the same time, Beijing issued an emergency notice, requiring all parts of the country to quickly organize forces to support Handong. Waves of radio waves cut through the sky, conveying the suffering of Lincheng to all parts of the motherland. For a time, supplies from all corners of the country poured in like a tide, and professional rescue teams rushed to Lincheng day and night. Planes drew silver tracks in the sky, loaded with rescue equipment and medical staff; trains roared through mountains and rivers, with carriages filled with food, medicine and tents; trucks full of love, with slogans on their bodies saying "Support Handong, Overcome Difficulties Together", rushed to the disaster-stricken front line, like sparks gathering together, bringing warmth and strength to this disaster-stricken land.

Under the overall command of Qi Tongwei, the disaster relief work was carried out intensively and orderly. Rescue workers raced against time to search for survivors. They lay on the ruins with their ears close to the ground, not missing any signs of life. Once they heard a faint response, they immediately used their hands and tools to carefully dig up the bricks and stones, and kept shouting: "Hold on, we are coming!" The medical team treated the wounded day and night at the temporary medical point. In the white tent, the doctors frowned and focused on cleaning, suturing and bandaging the wounded. The nurses hurried back and forth, changing the dressings for the wounded, taking their temperatures, and calming their panic. The logistics support personnel were non-stop to allocate supplies. In the warehouse, the supplies were piled up like mountains. They checked the list and carefully counted them to ensure that every bottle of water, every bag of food, and every piece of gauze could be accurately delivered to the place where they were most needed.

However, a few days later, the Earthquake Bureau reported a frightening piece of news: the dam upstream of Lincheng City showed signs of rupture. The news was like a bombshell, exploding in the city in an instant. For a time, people were talking about it on the streets, and the people were panicked and at a loss. Panic spread rapidly like a plague.

After hearing the news, Qi Tongwei's heart sank suddenly, as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. But he knew very well that at this moment he was the commander of this battle against the natural disaster, and he had to keep his footing, even if his heart was turbulent, his appearance had to be as firm as steel. He immediately mobilized all the heavy vehicles in the city, strode into the temporary command center, grabbed the phone, and his hurried and firm voice came from the receiver: "Hello, all the drivers of muck trucks and loaders, listen to the order, rush to the battlefield as fast as possible, fill the sandbags, and transport them to the dam line! This is a task related to the life and death of the whole city, and there must be no slackness!" The phone rang one after another, and the instructions were quickly issued. The drivers received the task and started the engine without saying a word. The large and slightly clumsy vehicles on weekdays were like iron cavalry rushing to the battlefield at this moment, rolling up billowing smoke and dust, and the roar of the engine shook the earth, and rushed to the battlefield at lightning speed.

Then, he quickly assembled the police, soldiers and volunteers. Picking up the walkie-talkie, his voice spread to every corner of the city through the radio waves: "Attention everyone, Lincheng is now facing the threat of floods. We must act immediately to protect our homes! All those who can participate in the battle, go to the dam immediately and participate in the construction of flood control works! This is a battle of life and death, we have no way to retreat!"

In just a few hours, a team of at least 100,000 people quickly gathered around the dam. Looking around, the scene was spectacular. There were uniformed policemen, with agile postures and firm eyes. They were like guards protecting the city, moving among the crowd, maintaining order on the scene, and directing people to carry supplies: "Everyone, don't make a mess, line up, one by one!" Some policemen also helped lift heavy sandbags, with beads of sweat rolling down their foreheads, mixed with dust and leaving mud marks on their faces, but they were unaware. There were heroic soldiers, walking in neat and powerful steps, who took on the most difficult task of building the embankment. Bags of sandbags were quickly passed from their hands, shouting loud slogans: "One, two, one, two!" Building a solid line of defense. There are also volunteers from all walks of life who disregard their own safety. Some are young and strong men who take the initiative to take on the task of filling sandbags. Their hands are rubbed and bleeding, but they just bandage them and continue to work. Some are gentle and kind girls who deliver water and meals to the front-line personnel. Looking at the exhausted soldiers with red eyes, they encourage softly: "Thank you for your hard work, just hold on a little longer!" Everyone is contributing their own strength to defend their homeland.

Qi Tongwei shuttled among the crowd, his figure was tired but determined. He personally carried a sandbag and demonstrated to everyone: "Look, compact the sandbags and stack them neatly like me!" His voice was hoarse but very penetrating, inspiring everyone; then he held the blueprint and discussed the reinforcement plan with the water conservancy experts, frowning and listening attentively to the experts' opinions: "Do you think this adjustment will be more stable? Time is running out, we have to make sure everything is safe." When his voice became hoarse, he used gestures to direct, and his clothes were soaked with sweat and stuck to his body, but he was unaware.

In the interval between busy work, Sha Ruijin came to the dam, found Qi Tongwei, and asked with concern: "Comrade Qi Tongwei, what is the current situation? Are there enough supplies? Are the personnel in trouble?" Qi Tongwei wiped the sweat from his face and answered with a slightly tired voice: "Secretary Sha, at present, the supplies can still be supplied, and the personnel are also very motivated. It's just that the situation of this dam is not optimistic. The rupture is still expanding. We must race against time." Sha Ruijin looked at the busy crowd and nodded: "Okay, I see. If you need anything, please tell me at any time and I will coordinate. Together, we must resolve this crisis." A warm current surged in Qi Tongwei's heart, and he nodded vigorously: "Thank you Secretary Sha for your support. With your words, I am more confident."

As bags of sand and soil were piled up, temporary dams gradually took shape, temporarily blocking the roaring river water. But Qi Tongwei knew that the battle had just begun and the flood could break through the defense line at any time. They had to race against time to reinforce and reinforce until the crisis was completely resolved, protecting the peace of Lincheng and every life on this land. The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on the dam, coating the busy crowd with a layer of golden glory. Their figures looked particularly tall in the backlight, as if they were heroic statues guarding the world, engraved in the long river of Lincheng's history, and would never be erased.

It was late at night, but the dam was still brightly lit. The shouts of people and the clashing of tools intertwined, playing an unyielding song of fighting against disasters. Qi Tongwei stood on the embankment, looking at the scene in front of him, and silently vowed in his heart: no matter how great the difficulties were, he would lead everyone to overcome them and bring vitality to Lincheng. Tomorrow would be another tough battle, but he was not afraid, because behind him was the power of unity and the deep love for this land.
