Binhai is a city near the sea, so it is naturally a place frequented by typhoons. Almost every year, several typhoons come into close contact with Binhai. Although most of them pass by, several heavy rains every year still cannot escape.
.
It is precisely because most of the previous typhoons only briefly swept the coastal areas, so coastal people have long lost the sense of awe they should have towards typhoons. Even though the meteorological observatory has continuously raised the typhoon warning level, and even every citizen has received an orange alert, everyone still
I didn't pay much attention to it.
Li Xiaoning has never experienced a typhoon, but he knows that he must be in awe of nature. Human beings are sometimes very small in front of nature. If you look down on nature, nature will make you suffer. Therefore, he started to work hard on the afternoon of the first day.
He was fully prepared and knew that he must maintain a high level of sobriety in the face of such a major event.
Before leaving get off work, he went from office to office to check whether the doors and windows were closed. If there was any crack, even a small crack that ants could not get in, he would close it again.
Not long after returning to the dormitory, the blue sky was gradually covered by dark clouds. As time went by, the thickness and breadth of the dark clouds became larger and larger, eventually killing the last ray of sunshine completely. At this moment, the sea surface
The waves were already several feet high.
In the evening, strong winds and heavy rains hit. Li Xiaoning nestled in his hut, listening to the violent wind and rain outside the window, and he unconsciously thought of home...
Li Xiaoning was awakened by the ringing of his cell phone. He opened his eyes and found that it was still windy and rainy outside the window. When he straightened his mind, he found that the call was from the driver Tang Hui.
"Hey, Brother Tang, what happened?" Li Xiaoning felt vaguely uneasy in his heart.
"I don't have time to tell you, come down quickly, I'm downstairs." Tang Hui's tone on the phone was full of anxiety.
Li Xiaoning knew that something serious must have happened, so he didn't say much at the moment. He hung up the phone, picked up the raincoat and rain boots that he had prepared, put them on in two times, and ran downstairs.
On the way, Li Xiaoning's brain was working rapidly: "The seawall is repaired every year. After so many years of testing, it has been proven that it is indeed solid and will not cause any problems. Although the wind outside is strong, it is still at the level of **.
It shouldn't cause too much damage. So what else? Could it be a flash flood that caused a mudslide? Thinking about it this way, it is indeed possible, because Binhai is also a mountainous city, although the mountains are not high.
Unfortunately, Li Xiaoning guessed that the rocks at a place called Hongshan Mountain were relatively soft. Under the ravages of the heavy rain, they could no longer hold on to the mountain and began to move downwards.
There is a main road at the bottom of the hillside. As the mountain slid down, more than a dozen cars were rushed out more than ten meters away. Although most of the people in the cars escaped in time, one car was still injured after being hit by a rock.
As a result, the car door is deformed and cannot be opened, and the people in the car are trapped inside and cannot get out.
When Li Xiaoning arrived, Municipal Party Committee Secretary Liu Qifeng, Mayor Xue Guoping and other leaders also arrived and were discussing the rescue plan in the command car. More than a dozen police cars and two fire trucks had been parked at the scene, and a group of police officers were on guard outside.
Dozens of fire officers and soldiers are fully equipped and waiting for orders.
Li Xiaoning had already put on his raincoat when he got out of the car. He knew that in this windy and rainy weather, an umbrella was useless. Through the thick rain curtain, Li Xiaoning looked towards the field and saw three cars crowded together.
, the car body was half buried in the soil, and several large rocks were stacked on top of each other, swaying in the wind, and ready to fall down at any time.
Seeing this situation, Li Xiaoning understood why the fire officers and soldiers did not go directly to the rescue. It was because the scene was too dangerous. Those big rocks could fall down at any time, and whoever went up might never come back.
Li Xiaoning walked to the command vehicle and heard a heated debate going on inside.
"Secretary Liu, the situation at the scene is too complicated and too dangerous. If you rush up hastily, you may not be able to rescue anyone, and you may have to rescue a few people." Zhu Feng, the fire squadron leader, said in a serious tone.
"I don't care what methods you use, people must be saved." This was Liu Qifeng's voice.
"Old Liu, I think what Comrade Zhu Feng said makes sense. Firefighters and firefighting officers and soldiers are children of father and mother, and we cannot let their sacrifices be in vain." It was Mayor Xue Guoping who said this.
"Then quickly come up with a plan to get the best of both worlds." Liu Qifeng's tone was majestic and anxious.
Li Xiaoning shook his head slightly. He knew that it would be difficult to reach an agreement in the command car for a while. But he also understood that because the situation at the scene was indeed dangerous, no one dared to order the fire officers and soldiers to go up and rescue people at this time.
As time went by, the cries of the adults and children trapped in the car became more and more heartbreaking, until they were filled with despair.
Listening to the child's cries for help, Li Xiaoning could no longer tolerate himself to stand by and watch like this. He took off his raincoat three times and rushed forward silently through the mud.
"Who is that... Come back quickly... It's dangerous..." Someone discovered Li Xiaoning and hurriedly warned him, trying to get him back. But Li Xiaoning turned a deaf ear and continued to walk towards the trapped vehicle. Although everyone
He was anxious, but no one dared to step forward, so they had to let him walk into the dangerous area step by step.
"Secretary Liu, Mayor Xue, someone disobeyed orders and rushed forward." Seeing that they could not stop Li Xiaoning, someone hurriedly reported to the leader in the command vehicle.
"Which one is it? So unorganized and undisciplined?" Xue Guoping said with a gloomy face, "Zhu Feng, is he one of yours?"
Zhu Feng also had an angry look on his face and thought to himself: "Who is this stupid young man who is so bold? Just don't save your own life, don't drag me into the water!" He is also an experienced firefighter, and he can tell at a glance that those few
A large boulder is completely supported by the car underneath to form a temporary fixed posture. However, this posture is extremely unstable. As long as the car underneath moves, the top may collapse immediately. People who are trapped in front
, if someone dies, it’s a natural disaster. Now if someone dies while trying to save others, it’s a man-made disaster, and people must be held accountable for man-made disasters.
"It's not Captain Zhu, but Secretary Liu's temporary secretary Li Xiaoning." Xue Guoping's secretary Zhang Hui said nonchalantly from the side.
"Xiao Li?!" Liu Qifeng was anxious. This was the secretary he had found with great difficulty. If he died like this, wouldn't it be equivalent to breaking his own arm? He didn't bother to take over the raincoat handed over by his servant.
, rushed straight into the rain curtain.
Li Xiaoning had already reached the outermost car at this time, but he did not take action immediately. Instead, he first rushed to the people trapped in the middle car and said: "Don't be afraid, and don't be anxious. I will rescue you right away."
Don't shout loudly now to avoid shaking the rocks above and causing a landslide."
After the cries of the people in the car gradually calmed down, Li Xiaoning carefully observed the direct connection between the stones, then took off his belt and inserted the belt buckle through the slightly opened gap in the car door.
After the belt buckle jammed the car door, Li Xiaoning loosened the belt in his hands a few times, then raised his right foot and pushed hard on the car body, leaning back, and pulled hard again and again.
The car door was squeezed tightly. Li Xiaoning tried his best, tensed his muscles, blushed and thickened his neck, but it only made the gap in the car door wider little by little.
However, Li Xiaoning's approach also made the already unstable stone and soil above it even more unstable. Every time he pulled it, some soil and gravel would fall off. The big stone above also swayed even more, as if it was about to collapse at any time.
It felt like it was collapsing. People in the car also tightened their breathing and did not dare to make a sound, for fear that breathing too hard would cause a collapse.
Li Xiaoning didn't pay attention to the situation above her head. She clenched her teeth and breathed loudly. Finally, the car door opened with a gap of more than ten centimeters.
There was a family of three in the car, a young woman with a five or six-year-old boy, and an old lady. I didn’t know if she was the child’s grandmother or grandma. I saw that the gap in the car door was big enough for the child to get out. The young woman and the old lady
The wife hurriedly picked up the child and handed it out.
"Hurry up and send someone up to help!" Liu Qifeng saw Li Xiaoning receiving the child and hurriedly ordered Zhu Feng.
In fact, there was no need for Zhu Feng to give orders. Several fire officers and soldiers who were infected by Li Xiaoning's fearless spirit rushed to respond. Everyone lined up in a row and transferred the children to a safe area hand in hand.
"Mom, you go out first." "Mom is old, you go out first!" The two people in the car were still giving in. Li Xiaoning looked up at the crumbling boulder and said in a deep voice to the young woman: "Stop dawdling.
, you come out first.”
But when the young woman went out, it was obviously not as easy as the children. Li Xiaoning spent a lot of effort to drag her out. The young woman's clothes were also shaved into strips, revealing her snow-white skin.
It was mixed with blood and rain, which added to the sadness.
But the people present had no time to be perverts, because after such a period of tossing, several large rocks on top had lost their balance and began to make a crunching sound.
"It's too late. Evacuate quickly!" a fire fighter standing behind Li Xiaoning said urgently.
"No, there's another person inside!" Li Xiaoning said angrily.
"If we don't evacuate, it will be too late. You are already a hero." The soldier said as he reached for Li Xiaoning, intending to forcefully pull him away.
"You retreat first, I'll save the people and then leave." Li Xiaoning shook off the soldier's hand and rushed into the car and said, "Mom, hurry up, it's about to collapse."
But the old man did not move forward. Instead, he huddled in his seat, shook his head and said, "I'm old. Don't let me catch you again just to save me. Thank you, kid. Let's go!"
"Stop talking nonsense! Give me your hand!" Li Xiaoning became anxious and reached into the car door to reach the old man.
"Let's go, kid, I'm an old woman, it's not worth it!" The old man still shook his head and refused to step forward.
"You are my biological mother, okay?" Li Xiaoning's eyes turned red, "If you don't come over, you really won't be able to leave. I'm leaving my words here for you. If you don't leave, I won't leave either."
The old man moved over tremblingly.
Li Xiaoning grabbed him and dragged him out. Fortunately, the old man was relatively thin, so he got out of the car without much effort. However, the old man said that he was looking forward to death, but his face was already pale with fear and his whole body was shaking.
Couldn't move around at all.
Li Xiaoning didn't waste any time. He picked up the old man and ran out. He had just taken two steps and before he was out of the danger zone, there was a "boom" and the rocks above collapsed...
