Current situation, Eastern Xia.

There was no sunlight under the gloomy sky. In the darkness, there was only the sound of thunder, and the dark clouds were constantly brewing with dazzling lightning.

Thick rain curtains continued to fall from the sky, and the low sound of rain did not spread.

Because there was an even more shocking loud noise coming from in front of me.

river.

The surging river surged rapidly beneath the dam. The turbid and yellowish water could not be seen at first glance. There was only darkness in the depths, and even huge searchlights could not illuminate it.

In this extremely bad situation, helicopters kept roaring past.

Between the hills in the distance, on the road, a convoy with no end in sight was trudging through the mud. The weight of the large amount of earth and stone caused the wheels to sink deeply into the mud.

Accompanied by uniform shouts, the young people's faces turned red and they tried their best to push the truck forward bit by bit.

There were more people running inside and outside the makeshift camp.

Patrolling up and down dozens of kilometers of embankments.

And right at the front, in the raised rain shelter, an unkempt young man on a sandbag was holding a rice bowl and scooping out the soup noodles in the bowl.

Suck.

The not-so-delicious noodle soup and noodles were mixed into a ball and stuffed into the stomach.

There is no trace of the dignity of the director of the Jinling Social Security Bureau, and he has lost his former grace and demeanor. He looks like a tramp. But even if he is a tramp, he looks much better than the others around him.

As if they had just crawled out of the quagmire, those people were covered in water and mud and were lying on blankets on the ground. Some of them were still holding bowls in their hands, and they had already begun to fall asleep and snore. Unless they gathered together.

The trumpet sounded again, and no amount of deafening thunder could wake them up.

Under this simple rain shelter, icy rainwater was still blown in by the cold wind from time to time, falling on my face and head.

"Did it rain again?"

Chu Hongchen wiped his face and put the bowl in his arms.

Occasionally when I look at the mighty river in front of me, my eyes gradually become cold.

Under the illumination of the searchlight, the turbid muddy water surged forward mightily.

In the broad river, impurities and sediment are constantly surging, and those blurry shadows gather together, as if to form a shadow that stretches for thousands of miles.

Sometimes it appears and sometimes disappears.

But now, the shadow is blocked in front of the embankment. It struggles and rushes hard, but no matter what, it can't break through the last line of defense.

"It's a big snake."

Chu Hongchen clicked his lips, bit his chopsticks, and sighed vaguely: "Dragon Gate is so close in front of you but you can't pass it. You must be very angry, right?"

Thunder exploded.

Like the angry roar of a giant beast.

In the river, the vague shadows convulsed again, and the invisible body stirred the torrent, making the alarm sound more and more harsh.

That is what is called a 'snake'.

No, it’s not an exaggeration to call it a dragon evil, right?

For farming people like Dongxia, rivers have been the embodiment of hope and life since ancient times. It is precisely with the continuous water source that we can irrigate more land and cultivate more plants.

, to feed a larger population.

Because of this, totems like dragons exist.

If the countless towering mountains are the bones of dragon veins, the complex water system covering the entire Eastern Xia is the body of the dragon, and the endless rivers are like blood, covering the entire country.

Wherever it passes, everything grows.

This is the dragon.

It is this generous gift from the ‘dragon’ that allows countless lives to thrive.

The so-called Dragon Vein is like this - mountains, rivers, earth and people are indispensable.

If it were a dragon that nourished and gave life to all things, then this out-of-control power and overflowing torrent would be no different from a snake.

The struggle between dragons and snakes has never stopped since ancient times.

It is foreseeable and will continue into the future.

Nowadays, the climate disasters that the Pied Piper has brought to the world have become apparent, not just severe droughts and heavy rains, but also disasters that have been dormant for many years.

When material disasters are combined with this silent disaster, the sleeping serpent will be resurrected from nothingness and countless evil creatures will evolve.

Not only at this moment, but here and now, a war that spread throughout Eastern Xia had already started a month ago.

There is no smoke in the fight between people and natural disasters, only the roar of countless people under the thunder and heavy rain, and in the darkness, the fight between the disaster serpent and the Eastern Xia lineage that longs to transform into a dragon.

Just under the rain shelter, Mo San came back in a hurry wearing a raincoat. The fierce battle with the water monster in the past few days had been exhausted, and the flame attribute Stigmata was particularly disgusted with this kind of weather, and his face looked...

They were all a bit pale.

After I came in, I sat down on the mat and couldn't get up.

"Yuan Zhao, give me a glass of water! Yuan Zhao! Huh? Where is that boy Yuan Zhao?"

She looked around and frowned: "Aren't you working as a guard for you? Did you skip work again?"

Chu Hongchen suppressed a smile and pointed to the bottom of the embankment.

"Well, isn't that right?"

Mo San squinted his eyes, and after searching for a long time among the silhouettes of people passing by in the mud, he saw the young man covered in mud.

He was carrying a small mountain of sandbags on his shoulders and was running hurriedly behind the queue.

The originally handsome face was covered with mud and his hair was messy, so it was impossible to tell that it was him.

Mo San's face looked a little better, but he was still a little unhappy: "Is this kid crazy again?"

"I arranged it."

Chu Hongchen replied, "I'm a useless person who can't carry it on my shoulders or lift it with my hands. I can only sit in the camp and fish for fish. If I need any guards, I might as well go down and come in handy."

But that kid is much more reliable than before. He kept running like an animal for two days without complaining."

"I've grown up."

Mo San's expression became slightly relieved: "Children will grow up. Isn't this much better than the original way of doing nothing?"

"yes."

Chu Hongchen nodded in agreement, his eyes sympathetic: "Unfortunately, in the adult world, not only age will increase, but the workload will also increase... How can he still have time to pee? You can ask someone to add more to him later.

Work.”

"..." Mo San didn't speak.

Everyone in the Social Security Bureau has recognized that although my eldest cousin is indeed considerate, he is not a human being, and he does not seem like a human being.

Unfortunately, there are more times when you are not considerate than when you are considerate. It makes the little girls discuss in private whether this is a new type of PUA method...

"How is the situation upstream?" Chu Hongchen asked.

"I'm still very nervous." Mo San took a breath and replied: "The rainfall is still increasing, and the water level is about to reach the highest level in history."

"Keep an eye on it and keep everyone's spirits up. Floods, droughts, epidemics, and everything are tight. We can't be embarrassed at this juncture." Chu Hongchen emphasized again, "If something goes wrong, the losses will be countless."

Mo San nodded solemnly, thought for a moment and said comfortingly: "The whole territory is tense right now. No matter what we do, we are still better than those guys who maintain the pedigree."

"Can you learn some lessons?"

Chu Hongchen rolled his eyes and did not bring up the topic. He just asked, "What did Master Yu and Uncle Feng say?"

"They are trying to disperse the clouds, but the effect is not great. The rainfall upstream is too high." Mo San whispered: "When I came here, I heard people say that it is better to just take out the relics of Han Ba's authority.

"

After hearing this, Chu Hongchen stopped picking up the rice, raised his head, and his expression became more solemn: "You think so too?"

"I'm not responsible for using my brain, so why are I thinking about this?"

"Some people just think too much." Chu Hongchen sneered, "In order to solve a temporary emergency, to increase distortion in disguise... What is the difference between drinking poison to quench thirst?"

Authoritarian relics are more than just terrifying.

That kind of thing, if not operated properly, will cause endless troubles.

Not only is the correction value wasted, but it also increases the load on the situation in disguise.

Once the drought breaks out, the drought will last for thousands of miles, and the floods will disappear, but the food output in the next ten years will also have problems. By then, not only the cabinet, but also the surviving Yuan who came to finish the work will be scolded.

For so many years, everyone has been abiding by the unspoken unspoken rules, that is, the restraint agreement on authoritarian relics. Unless there is a large-scale distortion incident, such things will never be used in the current situation.

Chu Hongchen took out his mobile phone, glanced at the list above, and started to make arrangements: "It seems that old man Xuanniao has been too busy recently and didn't pay attention to ideological construction. As a result, some people started to decline as soon as he ignored them. He still has to open a few more when he comes back.

Class, study in depth."

After completing the education, send them to the border to work for a few years, and you will know the importance. If you are still in the mud and can't hold up the wall, then just sit on the bench until you die.
