"Family photo?"

The little girl's mother was originally just sobbing out of worry, but after hearing the "family portrait", she burst into tears.

She hugged her daughter tightly, who depended on her for everything.

"Grandpa and dad are gone, and the only family photo is gone too."

The little girl hugged her mother, and the mother and daughter cried bitterly.

Qi Tongwei also realized the significance of this family portrait to them. His heart felt like it was blocked by a ball of cotton, making him feel uncomfortable and unable to breathe.

He gently held the little girl's shoulders and said, "You have to protect yourself, okay? You are your mother's support. If something happens to you, your mother will be even more sad."

The little girl nodded with red eyes.

The woman thanked him repeatedly and left holding the girl's hand.

The two soldiers behind him choked up and said, "Natural disasters are man-made disasters, alas."

"If something happens to the child, what will happen to the elder sister?"

Looking at the many houses collapsed by the flood, it is possible that the foundation of two generations was destroyed in an instant.

There were broken walls and ruins everywhere, and in some houses only the chimneys on the roofs could be seen.

The rescued wounded were placed in the makeshift tents around, and there were still many people trapped in their homes in the city, their lives uncertain.

Yes, being alive is more important than anything else.

Suddenly, Fan Tianlei urgently summoned the special forces of the first squadron.

"We just received a notification that the flood will be released at 9:00 AM. There are two villages affected. Go and inform them quickly. Make sure everyone is moved to a safe area before 9:00 AM."

Everyone take action immediately.

The road had just been cleared, and Qi Tongwei drove the armored vehicle at full speed straight to the destination.

Although the terrain here is relatively flat, there are many rivers and canals, and at most there are a few puddles of water in front of the door.

The team members went from house to house, knocking down doors and windows, waking up the sleeping people and informing them about the flood discharge.

The people in the house hurriedly put on their clothes, took their valuables, and asked worriedly, "Is our house okay?"

"It's hard to say, please leave with us first."

"That won't work. You have to let me get something. I have valuables in my room."

Qi Tongwei urged, "Hurry up, we need to notify every household, don't leave anyone behind."

Although they were not quite clear about the power of the flood discharge, they immediately thought of the image of the turbulent waves of the river.

I guess this dilapidated little house of mine may not be able to withstand the impact of the waves.

Many people were so anxious that they were running around, but they were even more afraid of being left behind, so they had to pack up their things while crying and hurriedly follow Qi Tongwei.

Qi Tongwei went door to door notifying everyone for more than an hour until the armored vehicles behind him were full.

He then moved people to areas that were not affected by the flood.

When Qi Tongwei rushed back, he was already extremely exhausted.

Using skills itself consumes energy, and Qi Tongwei has been in a state of high mental tension for nearly thirty hours.

His physical strength was severely overdrawn, but Qi Tongwei did not dare to rest at all.

Because the biggest problem at the moment has not been solved.

"Captain, it's already 9 o'clock, why haven't they started releasing the floodwaters yet?"

Two more sandbags were about to collapse, but now even the reserve sandbags had been used up. They could only tear down the east wall to repair the west wall, and hold on as long as they could.

"Captain, we can't hold on any longer!"

"What happened?"

Fan Tianlei was also anxious. He called twice, but the answer he got was that this old-style gate was under the water.

The iron chain that was originally responsible for lifting and lowering broke last month.

The local person in charge did not take it seriously at first, but later thought that once it was reported, the maintenance staff would be held responsible.

So I forgot about it, hoping for luck.

Until the flood was about to be released, the plan was fully formulated, but the problem was discovered at the last stage.

The leaders were also very anxious.

With the water level so high right now, it’s impossible for anyone to go down and carry out emergency repairs. Wouldn’t that be risking their lives?

So they could only change the place to release the flood, but they probably had to ask the soldiers to hold on until night.

But right now supplies are in short supply. Their soldiers may be able to hold on, but these flood prevention sandbags may not be able to hold on.

Fan Tianlei had no choice but to agree.

Seeing Fan Tianlei's solemn expression, everyone had a bad feeling.

"what happened?"

"The gate is broken, so we may have to choose another place to release the floodwaters."

When the others heard this, although they didn't say anything, they were all worried.

"The old gates are connected by iron chains. If they are repaired urgently and reconnected, will that be enough?"

Fan Tianlei sighed helplessly, "You make it sound easy, but the water at the gate is over six meters deep. Who would dare to go through in this situation?"

"Even if someone is good enough to swim across, how can they connect the chain, which weighs hundreds of pounds?"

It seems that the last scenario has also been ruled out.

Everyone hung their heads, letting themselves accept this fact.

"Let me try."

Suddenly, Qi Tongwei spoke with certainty.

For a moment, everyone looked at Qi Tongwei with eyes full of disbelief.

Fan Tianlei's eyes widened. "What did you say?"

The others also sighed: "Tongwei, stop joking."

"In this situation, you will die even if you go down."

"I know you're eager to save people, but you can't risk your own life!"

Everyone knew that Qi Tongwei had good intentions, but diving into the water when the water was so turbulent was tantamount to losing one's life.

"I know there are dangers, so there's no one better suited for this mission than me."

"No!" Fan Tianlei refused without thinking.

"Captain, believe me, when did I ever say I couldn't do something?"

"That won't work either!" Fan Tianlei said righteously.

"I'm aware of all your previous little fights. But this time is different. There's no chance to retreat. If you fail, you'll die right here!"

Fan Tianlei pointed at Qi Tongwei, panting.

He is so imaginative!

Or take your own life as a bet!

Qi Tongwei also said excitedly: "Of course I know this is very risky, but if I don't try, who knows if it will work!"

"It's already drizzling, and it's going to rain heavily again at ten o'clock. We're at our wit's end now. Are you sure they can hold out until the afternoon?"

Qi Tongwei pointed to the residential areas that were half flooded and only the roofs could be seen.

Fan Tianlei also choked up.

"I know, of course I know!"

"But even if you go down, it will only be a drop in the bucket. You are an ordinary person, and some things cannot be achieved just by your passion."

Fan Tianlei wants to solve the current problem at the gate more than anyone else.

But he can't fight a battle without confidence.

Qi Tongwei was firm: "Let me try, I will take all the responsibility!"
