Taoist temple in the mountains

Chapter 247, there is nothing to be afraid of

The howling wind, the torrent of rain, even if people formed a human line of defense, they looked pale and weak. The heavy rain has not stopped, and the torrent is still rushing.

The water was getting bigger and bigger, and the supporting soldiers were injured and tired. They no longer had the courage to rush to the sky at the beginning, and gradually began to get tired.

"Captain. Our soldiers are exhausted," a disheveled team leader yelled into the walkie-talkie, his face mixed with rainwater and scars from stone blows.

"Waiting for the arrival of the next batch of support soldiers, we must hold on, otherwise the flood will cause greater losses. Settle the injured soldiers well, and we will hold on until the next batch of support arrives soon," the general manager said. He murmured into the walkie-talkie.

However, just as the person in charge finished speaking, a phone call came in.

Waterproof mobile phone, after answering the call, the person in charge turned pale for a while and shook his body.

"Captain, what's wrong?" asked a younger soldier next to him.

The general manager's face was very heavy, looking at the flowing water that burst the embankment, he took a deep breath and said.

"Support can't come. The road seven kilometers away is flooded, and all the trucks are shut down."

The young soldier was taken aback.

What is the concept of turning off all the carts?
Meaning, no help will come until the water is drained.

Looking at the silence, and then looking at the indomitable water, which seems to be even more turbulent, the young soldier suddenly said silently.

"Do you need to tell the brothers?"

"Tell them, they are entitled to know. Our task is to stick to it until the last moment." The general manager gritted his teeth and decided to tell the news.

Turn on the walkie-talkie—

"Brothers, I have a piece of news to tell everyone." The chief person in charge said into the walkie-talkie: "In the future, we have no support, no assistance, only our own flesh and blood can stand in front."

"Now, those who want to leave. Go back and go up the mountain! It's safe there. At least it's safe now, and I won't pursue it when the time comes, because you are all respectable if you have survived until now."

"Those who are not willing to retreat, stand at the forefront with me! Block that monstrous flood!"

There was a commotion among the crowd, but none of them flinched. They were still fulfilling their tasks, carrying the sandbags to the front one by one. There were no passionate slogans, no loud roars, but silently speeding up their movements, using actions to instead of slogans.

The young fighter next to him was also more enthusiastic, and quickly blocked the sandbags in front of him.

"Young man, you are very good. This time I will go back and honor you." The general manager smiled and patted the little soldier on the shoulder.

The young soldier shook his head in embarrassment, wiped off the dirt on his face, and said, "Let's leave the opportunity to others. I plan to retire this year, and it will be next month after the calculation. It is estimated that after completing this task, I will never have a chance to go on missions again, I want to go back to my hometown to get married."

The young soldier said with some longing.

"I kept my girlfriend waiting too long, I can no longer live up to her youth."

"Well, man, responsibility is the most important thing. After this mission is over, I'm going to go home to see my turtle son. He's just a little younger than you." When the chief executive thought of his son, all his strength began to swell. Upwelling, there is nothing to be afraid of.

However, the sandbags have become less and less, but the water is getting bigger and bigger.
Looking at the growing water, some people spontaneously
Hold together and fight against the current with your body!

"them."

Li Yun on the side looked at these soldiers who blocked the flood with their bodies, and for some reason, there was always a kind of helplessness in his heart, a kind of unwillingness.
"Forging the Great Wall with flesh and blood, it is because of these lovely people that we can live and work in peace and contentment." Li Yun clasped his hands tightly, looking at the torrential rain in the distance, his vision had already blurred.

At this time, the chief person in charge came to Li Yun's side and said, "Hurry up and take refuge. Our mission is to protect you. If you explain here, I'm afraid I won't be able to explain to my superiors."

The person in charge is a middle-aged man who looks ordinary, the kind you can't find in the crowd, but this time the person in charge is a seasoned firefighter.

"We... can resist for a while longer!" Xiao Hei on the side said a little stubbornly, but his body was limp beside him, unable to get up again.

The person in charge looked at Xiao Hei, then at Li Yundao: "Among the first batch of rescuers who participated in the rescue, you are the most able to endure. You have survived longer than us. Both of you are good men."

"But a good man is a good man. You are a burden if you stay here now. The sandbags have been used up. Apart from using debris to block them, we only have our own bodies to use. It is our responsibility to block them here, not yours. Responsibility, you are the ones we should protect, go away, go up the mountain, and wait for rescue, our task is to buy time, try to let the people in the town behind who have no time to retreat leave." The chief manager took out a cigarette and , already drenched by the rain, I couldn't afford to light a cigarette at all.

All I want is the choking smell of cigarettes.

"Wish I could see when my son gets married"

The person in charge didn't care whether Li Yun, Xiao Hei and others left or not, they just left behind a not-so-solid figure.

This reminded Li Yun of a poem.

The wind is rustling, the water is cold——

A strong man is gone and never returns.

The heavy rain was still falling, and these soldiers formed human walls one after another, standing in the front and blocking the flood.

Everyone had some tears in their eyes.

Some exhausted young people, including soldiers, were escorted away and sent to Xiangtou Mountain for refuge.

"Brother Yun, don't you want to go?" The heavy rain hit Xiao Hei's face, and he couldn't open his eyes even though he squinted.

"I want to. Look at them." Li Yun looked at the wall made of human flesh, as if something was about to come out of his heart.

"Then I'm leaving first, don't be brave, life is the most important thing!" Xiao Hei is really tired, he knows that staying here is also a burden, it is better to leave and let the soldiers concentrate on fighting the flood.

Strong wind, torrential rain, Li Yun standing in the middle of the torrential rain looked at these people.

There are older ones who have reached middle age, and some younger ones who are probably about the same age as Xiao Hei
Unite as one, work together.

The sandbags have been used up, and only the human wall is left to block.

Looking at this human wall, Li Yun finally knew that his current emotion was pride.

"Born as a human, born as a Chinese. I am very proud."

"I have to do something."

At this time, the system that had been hidden for a long time came out.

"Host, the time has come, it's time."
