My Military Career in a Parallel World

Jiang Chen had rested long ago and was now observing the situation on the dam restored in the dream space.

Compared to other people who need to be careful all the time to avoid being swept away by the flood, Jiang Chen does not have such worries.

This dam is so old that no one can predict when problems will arise.

So, after waking up, Jiang Chen used the dream space to observe the condition of the dam.

It would be best if there were no problems, but if you find any, you can report them in time...

Hearing the noise coming from outside, Jiang Chen regained consciousness.

Seeing him open his eyes, the two soldiers who were already prepared smiled and retracted their outstretched hands.

Because Jiang Chen had participated in rescue operations before, his injuries were more numerous and more serious than those of others.

The doctor worked for a long time before he treated and bandaged Jiang Chen's injuries.

"Anti-inflammatory medicine, antibiotics, one tablet each, don't forget them!"

It was unknown how long the wounds on Jiang Chen's body had been soaked in muddy water, and the risk of infection was very high. Also, during rescue operations, he often had to crawl into various narrow crevices, so drinking some muddy water was inevitable.

Therefore, the military doctor who treated his injuries gave him a specific instruction before leaving.

"Thank you." Jiang Chen nodded in thanks.

After several military doctors and nurses left, everyone in the tent was awakened by the torment.

Seeing that it was already afternoon, Jiang Chen prepared to go to the dam to check the situation.

"Squad leader, wait for me."

Seeing Jiang Chen putting on his clothes and preparing to go out, Wang Hai shouted hurriedly.

Not only him, but others had the same idea.

"You guys should stop joining in the fun. Take a good rest and conserve your energy. We don't know what will happen next."

"Captain, when I was sleeping just now, my dreams were all about floods and dam collapses. I can't sleep well unless I go and see them myself."

Hearing Wang Hai's words, the other people in the tent also nodded.

They were all witnesses of this battle between man and nature.

Although I heard from other people that the flood had been temporarily blocked, I always felt like something was missing unless I went to see it myself.

There was no way before because everyone was so tired and sleepy that they could fall asleep while lying in the mud.

Now that I have recovered a little, I want to go and take a look in person.

"Let's go and see the fruits of our victory!"

Seeing everyone's determined eyes, Jiang Chen did not persuade them any more and waited for everyone to get dressed and leave the tent together.

They were not the only squad that had similar thoughts. Soldiers from other squads that had already woken up also walked out of their tents and headed towards the dam.

The team grew larger and larger, and by the time they reached the reservoir and the farmland where they had been digging sand, more than half of the entire rescue team had followed.

Standing more than fifty meters away from the reservoir, everyone just watched quietly.

The dam was raised several meters by countless sandbags. On one side was a raging flood that seemed to be about to swallow up the entire forest, while on the other side were mountain farmlands and the shadows of villages and towns could be vaguely seen in the distance.

Although many farmlands and towns have been submerged due to the flood discharge, it is obviously much better than the scene of a swamp on the other side.

And this is the result after they fought for a day and a night.

After reaping the fruits of victory, everyone let go of their obsessions and returned to the tent to continue resting.

As for the dam outside, there is no need to worry about it. Yan Yisong, the chief rescue commander, has already made arrangements.

Every two hours, the team changes shifts and patrols to check the condition of the reservoir and repair and maintain the dam with sandbags.

Once a problem is discovered, just blow the whistle and everyone will come to support you immediately.

-

It turns out that these preparations were not unnecessary.

Less than two hours after Jiang Chen and the others lay down again, the sound of gongs was suddenly heard outside.

"Hurry, the water level is rising again. A hole has been washed out of the sandbag over there and it's getting bigger and bigger. It can't be blocked anymore. Hurry up and call for help!"

Thanks to the existence of the dream space, Jiang Chen's mental state had long since recovered.

At this moment, he was exercising in his dream. When he heard the noise outside, he immediately turned over and sat up in bed.

"Everyone, get up, get the tools and go to the dam!"

While shouting to others to get up, Jiang Chen took out the whistle he carried with him, ran out of the tent and started blowing it.

Shhhhhhh~

Compared to the sound of a gong, people are more sensitive to the sound of a whistle.

Sure enough, the next second there was movement coming from other tents in the camp.

"Ouch~"

"Sigh~"

Due to the high-intensity labor, everyone's muscles are overloaded, and especially after resting, there is no place on the body that does not hurt.

My arms and thighs were so sore that I couldn't even lift them.

However, there is no time to worry about so many things now. No matter how painful it is, I have to grit my teeth and get up.

"Get up quickly, don't sleep any more, the dam has been breached again!"

After a few seconds of unconsciousness, the waking student put on his shoes and picked up tools while calling out to other comrades who had not yet woken up.

The whole camp became boiling again.

At seven o'clock in the evening, the sky was already gray, but the river bank was brightly lit and filled with soldiers running back and forth carrying sandbags.

After the previous battles, everyone knew what to do without being told by others.

Everyone did their job, either digging the soil with a hoe or filling sandbags with a shovel, while the rest of the people lined up to quickly carry the filled sandbags to the dam and throw them into the gap.

Boom~

A flash of lightning streaked across the sky, illuminating the dark sky.

Along with the thunder and lightning, bean-sized raindrops fell from the sky with a crackling sound.

"Md, can't this horrible weather stop for a while?!"

Raindrops fell on people's faces and some people couldn't help but curse out loud.

The faces of the others also did not look very good.

But if it rains, what can they do?

The only thing I can do is to make my hands move faster... faster...

A new round of battle begins.

Replenished by rainwater, the flood that had been repelled and restrained once again charged towards the dam.

Jiang Chen and his men desperately maintained their frontline positions, resisting the seemingly endless waves of attacks from the "enemy".

Can't lose it here!

If it is lost, all the villages, towns and counties downstream will be affected.

Even though the people in the county had been evacuated before they arrived, they also sent two rescue teams of 100 people to the coastal villages and towns to support the battle.

However, the situation in County C is still not optimistic.

County C has more than just one county seat.

There are also towns, townships, and dozens of villages under its jurisdiction.

The total population is close to three hundred thousand.

How is it possible to transfer so many people at the same time in just two or three days!

Not to mention, the continuous heavy rains have dealt a severe blow to the local transportation network.

Most villagers in the entire county are still in the disaster area, but they have been temporarily relocated to nearby mountain tops or commanding heights where the flood cannot spread for the time being.

Therefore, as the most important line of defense, the Sishui Reservoir must not be lost at all costs!

At least not now!!

It was another dozen hours of continuous high-intensity work.

The night gradually faded away, the sun had risen, but the sky was still gray.

Jiang Chen and his colleagues showed no sign of stopping their actions. Bags of tightly filled sand were transported to the front line. The flood was still continuously charging towards the dam.

The good news is that the rain in the sky is gradually decreasing as the sun rises.

Another two hours passed.

At nine o'clock in the morning, the rain stopped completely. Without the replenishment of rain water, the flood was no longer as turbulent as before, and the force impacting the dam gradually weakened.

After several more hours of fighting, at around 1 p.m., the second wave of floods was finally completely under control, and calm gradually returned to the dam.

Although the flood did not break through the dam's defenses, it does not mean that there was no impact at all.

In fact, when the flood was at its most severe, the reason why the dam was able to hold on was not only because everyone worked together, but also because the reservoir was constantly releasing small amounts of water.

Otherwise, how could this old dam built in the 1960s and 1970s have survived until now?

So, while they were fighting here, other rescue teams downstream were also not idle. Everyone was struggling to resist the spread of the flood.

The water level was gradually brought under control, and the soldiers who had been fighting for eighteen or nineteen hours finally had a chance to catch their breath.

Supporting each other, they walked back. The people who were forced to stay in the camp gathered at the gate.

The ginger soup that had been cooked long ago was still steaming, and next to it were the noodles that the ladies had just taken out of the pot.

Conditions in the disaster area are limited. Although a bowl of hot noodles is simple, it is the best food the villagers can come up with.

"Hurry up, folks, come and help..."

Seeing Jiang Chen and the others coming back, the two old men with gray hair hurriedly came over with several villagers and started to support them without saying anything.

"They are all good children. Folks, help them go back and have a rest."

"These children have suffered for us!"

An old lady who looked to be in her 50s or 60s stepped forward and held Jiang Chen's hand. She looked at the layers of blood blisters on his palms and couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Uncle, we are soldiers, not children!"

A student nearby corrected him with a forced smile on his dirt-covered face.

Jiang Chen held the old lady's arm with his backhand, and said with a smile on his face: "Auntie, we are the people's soldiers, this is what we should do..."

"Yes, uncle and aunt, we are soldiers, this is what we should do!"

The surrounding students and soldiers also followed suit.

The army loves the people, the people respect the army, and the relationship between the army and the people is like that of fish and water. This is the essence of it.

At this moment, everyone seemed to be sublimated.

An inexplicable power surged out of the originally exhausted body. Although the sunlight was blocked by the dark clouds in the sky, everyone present felt a warmth flowing through their hearts.

The pain and fatigue in my body seemed to gradually fade away under the influence of this warm current...

Jiang Chen was very glad that he was able to travel through time, and even more glad that he chose to stay in the army after traveling through time and become a soldier defending his country.

This outfit is tiring to wear...

But, it's worth it!!!

-

“It is 7:25 p.m. now, and I am at the front line of flood control upstream of Baishuihe Village in County C.

Three days ago, the reservoir dam in the upstream County B was completely destroyed by the water flow, and a large amount of flood water swept countless buildings and trees towards the downstream.

And right behind me, they are the warriors who built a defense line with their lives and blood to resist the flood that could destroy everything..."

The reporter spoke very quietly, for fear of disturbing the soldiers who were resting.

In fact, given Jiang Chen and the others’ current state, even if you put a speaker next to their ears, they might not wake up, let alone talk.

The only thing that can wake them up is the whistle that signals an emergency assembly...

The reporter and the cameraman carrying a camera walked around the camp and took pictures of the situation in every tent.

Just as they were about to leave, they suddenly saw a soldier at the edge of the tent open his eyes and look towards them.

After Jiang Chen finished his rest, he was inspecting the dam in his dream space. Suddenly, he heard someone talking beside him. He thought something happened at the reservoir again. He opened his eyes quickly and saw a reporter holding a microphone standing in front of the camera and whispering something...

Noticing the movement from Jiang Chen's side, the cameraman subconsciously pointed the camera at him.

The reporter in front also looked over here.

Seeing Jiang Chen wake up and staring at her, a hint of joy flashed in the reporter's eyes.

Before coming here, the reporter had visited the dam and interviewed leaders on the flood-fighting front and reservoir inspectors.

After getting permission, we went to the camp to take pictures of the soldiers who had just come down from the front line of flood control.

However, with only the footage but no interviews with eyewitnesses, it always feels like something is missing.

However, as a qualified journalist, her moral ethics did not allow her to disturb these soldiers who had just returned from the front line for the sake of news.

I can only think about taking more pictures so that more people can see these lovely and respectable warriors...

Seeing that some soldiers had woken up, the reporter was somewhat happy in his heart, but he did not show it on his face. Instead, he showed a hint of apology and said, "Sorry to disturb your rest."

Jiang Chen also smiled and shook his head slightly to indicate that he didn't need to worry about it.

Just as he was about to close his eyes and return to the dream space, the female reporter hesitated for a while, but ultimately did not want to miss this opportunity, so she gritted her teeth and waved to the cameraman to follow, and the two of them walked towards Jiang Chen together.

"Hello, can I interview you and ask you some questions?"

Coming to stand beside Jiang Chen, the reporter asked hesitantly.

Jiang Chen opened his eyes again, glanced at the camera behind the reporter, and subconsciously wanted to refuse.

The reporter seemed to read his inner thoughts, and quickly picked up the press card hanging on his chest and explained in a low voice: "I am a reporter from XXTV.

I came here specially to film the flood relief and rescue operations, and I got your leader's approval to come to the camp to film.

It won't take up too much time, you just need to answer a few questions about flood relief and rescue."

As he spoke, the reporter showed a pleading expression.

Jiang Chen turned his head to look at his comrade who was still sleeping beside him, then looked at the reporters and photographers in front of him with earnest faces, and finally nodded:

"Let's go out and talk, so as not to disturb their rest."

Hearing Jiang Chen's agreement, the reporter immediately showed joy on his face and nodded quickly.

The group walked out of the tent.

I will definitely add more, but...

I just committed a crime two days ago. For Xiaobei's job, please be patient...

Thank you again for your kindness!
