Chapter 932: Merciless Natural Disasters
Two years later, July 1994.
Longguo, Danzhou.
A sudden natural disaster swept the entire city.
No one could have imagined that the usual light rain would turn into heavy rain, and it would rain for several days in a row.
The school was suspended urgently, and most people were awakened from their daily work and life.
The arrival of this storm was more serious than every year in the past. Within a few hours after the meteorological station issued the notice, the precipitation had exceeded the highest level in previous years.
The citizens of Danzhou almost immediately put down their work and returned home, but a flood hit, causing most of the city to be flooded.
Danzhou is on the riverside, and small-scale floods are actually very common. They will encounter them every rainy season, so their flood prevention level is very good and they are experienced, but this time, it is a serious scene that has never been seen since the founding of the country.
Many people couldn't even go home. When they came to their senses at night, the depth of the flood on the street and the rapidity of the rapids were such that even the best swimmers could not return. The flood gradually flooded the second floor, and the worst thing was that the heavy rain had been going on for more than two days, and there was still no sign of stopping!
It seemed that God's anger had no place to vent, and it was all poured into this innocent city.
There were still some students in the school. Fortunately, the quality of the teaching buildings of Danzhou Primary School and Middle School was good, so the students took refuge on the upper floors. The first floor had been flooded for the most part. Now looking from the upper floors, you can't see the whole picture of the playground at all!
A city has become unrecognizable.
…
A young man stood on the third floor of the mall, leaning against the railing and looking outside. The usual commercial and pedestrian streets were no longer crowded with people. The streets were filled with muddy torrents. The young man had a beard on his chin, a spirited look, a straight nose, and wore an ordinary shirt, jeans, and a pair of sneakers.
Although the young man frowned, he was not as flustered as the others around him. Instead, he was very calm.
A younger guy wearing a coat came closer and whispered, "Brother Zhang, what should we do?"
The young man sighed and said, "Wait until the rain stops, go downstairs to check the water level, if it's not deep, go back first, there's food and drink in the place where we live, and in the mall, I guess the first floor has been washed away and nothing is left, right?"
This young man is called Zhang Tangwei, nicknamed Weizi. The reason why he is in Danzhou is because half a year ago, the Lianhua Plaza Appliance City clothing store branch in Danzhou opened. Weizi, as one of Li Yi's most trusted people, naturally came to take charge.
Weizi has learned a lot in the past two years. Although he has a low academic degree, he can handle things with ease when working with the young man from Jiangnan Business College next to him.
This young man came to the company two years ago. Weizi happened to have no assistant, so Li Yi sent him to Weizi, and later came to Danzhou with Weizi.
Unexpectedly, we encountered heavy rain. The two of us were eating in the mall. When we saw the heavy rain, we thought of hiding. As a result, we hid for a whole day.
I looked at my watch. It was past noon, but the sky was as gloomy as in the evening.
This is not right. It seems that this heavy rain has no intention of stopping. I didn’t expect that I would encounter a flood after just half a year in Danzhou. Isn’t this bad luck?
Sighing slowly, Weizi took out a mobile phone from his pocket. This thing was distributed by Li Yi to everyone this year. Almost everyone in the company has one. In Li Yi’s words, this thing is very useful. Everyone must master it as soon as possible. This thing is not cheap, but for Weizi, it is not a big deal.
"There is no signal on the mobile phone. I guess the problem is serious!"
Weizi said in a deep voice: "Xiao Wei, follow me, let’s go down and see what the water level is like!"
The young man beside him nodded and followed behind Weizi.
This young man named Xiao Wei is very compatible with Wei Zi's temper, so Wei Zi has always been willing to tell Xiao Wei about some of his experiences with Li Yi. Xiao Wei is one of the beneficiaries of the entrepreneurial support fund founded by Li Yi that year. It is precisely because of this that he chose to follow Li Yi's footsteps to Beihua Foreign Trade Company after graduation. Two years have passed, and Xiao Wei has learned a lot from Wei Zi that he can't learn from books.
There are quite a few people in the mall, fifty or sixty, but the current situation is so serious that Wei Zi himself didn't count carefully. When he came to the lobby on the first floor, he saw the turbid water that had flooded the stairs. Wei Zi frowned at the time!
The water level rose so fast?
There is no intention to go down at all?
Before coming to Danzhou, he knew that this place actually has floods all year round, but the scope has always been very small, and the impact is not great. It is the kind that comes and goes quickly, but now it seems that it is not the case at all!
After returning upstairs, Wei Zi has a new understanding of the current situation.
"We can't go back for now. Let's quickly find something to eat and drink. We're going to stay here for a while. Let's wait for the firefighters to arrive!"
If you risk yourself to go out now, you will basically end up with no return! It’s hard to say how deep the flood is, and how fast the water is flowing. Without any preparation or experience, if you fall in, you’ll die!
Xiao Wei never said anything at this time. He turned around and went upstairs. He bought a lot of food and drinks with his own money. There were two small supermarkets upstairs. Although the owner of the supermarket didn't know what was underneath. situation, but does not hinder doing business.
After sorting out the things on hand, Xiao Wei came back with a large bag of food. Wei Zi was now next to the phone booth in the mall. After dialing 119, there was no movement. It seemed that there was something wrong with the phone line. .
This is troublesome...
Wei Zi's face was solemn. The outside world is now in a mess. He probably can only wait for rescue. This is the wisest way!
No matter how high the flood level is, the upstairs is safe. As long as the quality of the building is good enough, they will have no problem staying here. The only problem is food! Without food and drink, I can't last very long!
At this moment, a supermarket owner from upstairs walked down. He was a bald middle-aged uncle. The uncle subconsciously asked: "How's it going?"
Why can't I make a call? "
Weizi said in a deep voice: "There is no signal on the mobile phone, and the phone line is probably disconnected!"
