Walking to the window and looking at the heavy rain outside, Wentao frowned deeply.

"Jingle Bell......"

At four in the morning, Wentao's phone rang rapidly, waking him up instantly. The ringing at this time made him realize that something must have happened! It was a big deal!

As soon as the call was connected, the panicked voice of the liaison officer Kang Cheng came over the line: "County magistrate, Xincheng Town reports that the Qingtuan Reservoir has broken its dam! The water has overflowed the river channel, and several villages downstream have been flooded..."

what!

Wen Tao shuddered, as if struck by lightning. Qingtuan Reservoir? That's one of the largest reservoirs in the entire county! If it were to burst, the consequences would be disastrous!

"Notify relevant departments and personnel immediately and activate the emergency plan! I'll be there right away!" Wen Tao's face became extremely solemn. He spoke into the phone while putting on his clothes.

After hanging up the phone, Wentao quickly rushed out of the house and headed towards the office building in the heavy rain.

The good thing is that he lives in the county government’s staff quarters, which is not far away!

When Wentao rushed to the county party committee, Bai Bo had already arrived.

When the two met, they immediately decided to hold an enlarged meeting of the Standing Committee.

"What's the situation now?" Wen Tao asked anxiously.

"County magistrate, according to the current information, the bursting of the Qingtuan Reservoir has caused a large amount of flood water to gush out, and several villages downstream have suffered severe flooding. We have dispatched emergency teams and rescue personnel, but due to the rapid flow of the water, the rescue work faces great difficulties." The director of the Water Conservancy Bureau reported.

"Are there any reports of casualties?" Wen Tao's heart was in his throat.

"We haven't received any definite news yet, but the situation is not optimistic."

Wen Tao took a deep breath, suppressed his inner anxiety and worry, and calmly analyzed the situation: "The most important thing now is to evacuate the affected people as quickly as possible to ensure their safety. At the same time, we must do our utmost to repair the reservoir, plug the breach, and prevent the disaster from further expanding."

"Secretary Sun Bo and Minister Li Jun, immediately gather all manpower to carry out rescue and disaster relief!" Wen Tao immediately issued the order.

"Okay, County Mayor, we will do our best!"

Sun Bo, member of the county party committee standing committee and secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, and Xue Lijun, member of the county party committee standing committee and head of the armed forces department, responded immediately.

Then he got up and went to mobilize people.

"The Civil Affairs Bureau and the Finance Bureau must ensure that disaster relief supplies and funds are available!"

"Secretary Bai Bo will be in charge of the County Party Committee. The Water Conservancy Bureau and the Construction Bureau will follow me to the scene!"

......

The county government's convoy slowly drove to a village near the reservoir. Suddenly, a group of villagers appeared in front of them. They gathered on the road and blocked the convoy's way.

Kang Cheng sat in the car, frowning slightly, wondering why the villagers had stopped the convoy. Wen Tao then motioned him to get out of the car to find out what was going on.

Kang Cheng quickly walked to the front of the crowd and asked the villagers, "What's wrong? Fellow villagers, I am an employee of the county government." His tone was gentle and friendly, but the villagers seemed very anxious and nervous.

One of the women was in her thirties, with tears on her face. She cried and said, "Leader, please save my daughter! My daughter is trapped in the village. She is only eight years old! You have a car, please drive in and save her!" After that, the woman knelt down and looked at Kang Cheng pleadingly.

Kang Cheng immediately stepped forward to help the woman up and comforted her, saying, "Don't worry, we will do our best to help you. Please tell me the details of your daughter's situation."

The woman choked up and said her daughter's name and described her daughter's location in detail. After hearing this, Kang Cheng immediately turned back to the car and told Wen Tao the situation.

Wentao made a decisive decision: "Drive into the village immediately to save her!" He knew that time was running out and every minute could affect the little girl's life.

"Divide the troops into two groups. The others will go to the dam first, and Kang Cheng will follow me into the village to rescue people!" Wen Tao said anxiously.
