Chapter 1145 Creating Miracles
The inky black sky pressed heavily down on the earth, as if it was going to swallow all things in the world into endless darkness.
The artificial dam stands quietly in the darkness like a lonely giant, enduring the huge test that is about to come.
The flood is coming...
The torrent surged and swept in like a surging horse.
The water flowed as fast as an enraged beast, carrying broken trees with it, rolling and colliding, making a deafening noise, just like a dragon roaring.
On the dam, Chen Jun was acutely aware of the danger approaching quickly. The wind was howling, as if it was going to sweep everything away. He used all his strength and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Retreat, retreat, retreat..."
The voice became a little hoarse and broken under the raging wind.
He looked back anxiously, and saw his brothers under the dam, all of them standing there like nails, with no sign of retreating. In the hearts of the soldiers at the hacker base, Captain Chen Jun was like their spiritual pillar, always leading them to challenge any powerful enemy. In their beliefs, there was no such thing as "retreat".
A soldier shouted: "Captain, we won't leave, we want to fight with you!"
Chen Jun was extremely anxious. He waved his arms and shouted, "This is not the time to fight. The flood is coming soon. This is fatal. Retreat quickly!"
Everyone remained unmoved, standing there quietly, like statues.
"Back, back, back..." Chen Jun's eyes were red with anxiety. He could no longer care about many things. He used his hands and feet to almost force everyone to retreat, just like the aunties directing traffic at the port. He knew the power of the flood. The human body was like an ant in front of the flood peak. Once hit, it was very likely to be smashed to pieces.
Seeing how anxious he was, the soldiers began to react and turned around and ran downwards.
Just as the last person rushed down and hid under the dam, the first wave of the flood pounced on him like a mad beast.
There was a loud bang, and the sound was like a tsunami and a dragon's roar mixed together, dull and huge, shaking the earth.
Huge waves surged up, reaching a height of dozens of meters, as if they were going to break through the sky, and then smashed down to the ground, splashing huge water.
The huge impact force made some people hiding under the dam unable to dodge and they were knocked unconscious on the spot.
"It's stable..." Chen Jun stared at the dam without blinking, and beads of sweat covered his forehead. Finally, he saw that the dam was shaking violently under the fierce impact of the flood, but it still managed to block this wave of attack from the flood peak.
This scene made others couldn't help but cheer.
"We blocked it! We blocked the impact of the flood!" A young soldier jumped up excitedly, his voice filled with the joy of surviving the disaster.
"Oh my God, have we created a miracle? The people of Leicheng are saved..." Another soldier was so excited that his eyes were red and his voice was trembling.
While everyone was cheering, Chen Jun remained silent.
In his mind, the feedback from the hacker space kept reminding him that the real danger was far from over. This was only the first wave of impact, and the situation behind would be even more terrifying. Moreover, once the trees and other solid objects rushing down from the upstream hit the dam hard, it would be like a battle to break a city in ancient times. How easy would it be to survive the crisis?
"Take action immediately and speed up the reinforcement of the city walls to prevent enemy attacks..." Chen Jun shouted a little inappropriately, his voice becoming sharp due to anxiety.
However, no one paid any attention to him. In the eyes of these people, the flood had been stopped, and everyone was indeed exhausted, as if the strength in their bodies had been drained away, with a feeling of exhaustion after a burst of energy. Now everyone was in the "three" stage of exhaustion.
"Follow the order, do you hear me?" Chen Jun knew that real danger was imminent. In extreme worry, he lost control and grabbed a brigade commander's clothes, pulled his collar tightly, and yelled at him.
The brigade commander was the head of the Iron Blood Brigade. He was startled by Chen Jun's actions. Seeing Chen Jun's anxious and serious eyes, he immediately realized that the danger was not over. He turned around and shouted to the surroundings: "Don't just stand there, move quickly, don't stop!"
When everyone heard the brigade commander's order, they were stunned for a moment, and then slowly began to move again, dragging their tired bodies to continuously reinforce the dam.
At this time, Chen Jun had already strode onto the dam. He looked at the flood that was about to penetrate, his eyes full of determination, and shouted loudly: "All soldiers in the hacker base, come up immediately, use your bodies to build a wall to block the infiltrating flood, and buy time for the engineering team, quickly..."
Soldiers from other teams might not be able to respond quickly to the call, but the soldiers from the hacker base had already been waiting beside him. After hearing the order, they rushed forward without hesitation.
Sure enough, the flood was spreading rapidly.
all...
The soldiers of the hacker base did not hesitate at all, they jumped into the flood one after another like dumplings. They quickly pulled each other's arms, connected closely together, and soon built a human defense line.
This is a human wall built with lives. The flood is like the claws of the devil, trying to pull them to the bottom of the water at any time and then sweep them away in an unknown direction.
In the face of this raging flood, human power seemed so weak, including Chen Jun. He stood in the middle of the human wall and shouted loudly: "Everyone must hold your hands tight and never let go..." His voice was still firm and loud in the noise of the wind and flood.
The more than 500 soldiers from the hacker base stood in neat rows in front of the dam. The scene looked so spectacular that the officers, soldiers and the masses who were working below were deeply shocked.
The commander of the Red Blood Brigade saw this scene, his eyes widened, and he shouted, "What are you still looking at? Move quickly! If you don't speed up, the flood will tear your bodies apart."
Time passed slowly in the tense atmosphere, and every second seemed like a struggle on the brink of life and death.
The flood spread rapidly and soon reached the chest level of the soldiers in the hacker base. Whenever a wave came, the soldiers would be submerged instantly.
However, no one thought of retreating, and no one uttered a complaint.
There was no need for Chen Jun to shout again, the soldiers in the hacker base were all clear about their mission. Before Chen Jun issued an order, they were like standing steel, like green pines in the snow, and like statues that could not be crushed.
These "statues" in the water were tightly packed together, impenetrable to each other, stubbornly blocking the flood. In just over ten minutes, the brothers behind them raced against time to widen and raise the dam again.
Not long after, the flood spread again, the water level continued to rise, and the situation became more critical. Chen Jun made a prompt decision and directed everyone to retreat and move upwards by stepping on the dam.
"We can't go on like this. If the flood spreads beyond that, all our previous efforts will be in vain." Chen Jun frowned and said with a worried look on his face.
In his mind, feedback from the hacker space kept warning him that if the stalemate continued, the dam would burst sooner or later, and he had to find a way to reduce the burden on the dam.
"Bring the explosives to me, I'll find a way to reduce the burden on the dam." Chen Jun stood on the dam and shouted to the brigade commanders who were commanding below.
When the leaders of the Southeast Military Region heard this idea, they were all surprised. One of the brigade commanders stepped forward and said, "General Chen, will this diversion work? If the river is blown up, it won't be a matter of diversion, but of diverting water into the city. The consequences will be disastrous."
Chen Jun looked at him firmly, without any hesitation in his eyes: "I know how to locate the explosion. I can control the direction and force of the explosion and will not cause the river to collapse. Moreover, I can also blow up the appropriate part of the mountain to let the flood rush through."
The other brigade commanders looked at Chen Jun's determined eyes and thought that he was already a major general at such a young age, so he must have some outstanding qualities. There was no better way than not trusting him at this time.
One of the brigade commanders nodded and said, "General Chen, we trust you, so let's follow your plan."
Soon, the blaster came to Chen Jun with explosives, and then Chen Jun led them to the target location.
This distance may not seem far, but it is actually very long to walk. At this time, the soldiers of the hacker base who were trying to intercept the flood had already reached their necks.
"Hold on, you must hold on. Believe in the captain, he will be able to successfully drain the flood. Come on, everyone..." A soldier from the hacker base growled, his voice full of trust and encouragement.
Everyone responded in unison: "Okay, we will hold on!"
Although no one took a step back, some soldiers began to show despair. One of the soldiers gritted his teeth and said, "Brothers, I'm not afraid of death, but we have persisted for so long. If there is no effect in the end, it will be too frustrating."
The soldier next to him patted him on the shoulder and said, "No, the captain will definitely find a way. We must trust him."
Finally... after a loud bang, everyone could see with their own eyes that the flood that had already spread past their noses began to slowly retreat.
"The drainage was successful..."
Zhan Ge and the others looked at each other. These iron-blooded men had never shed tears on the battlefield, but now they saw tears flashing in each other's eyes. Those were tears of excitement, joy for victory, and emotion for surviving a disaster.
The explosions continued, and soon thereafter the sound of a mountain being blown up was heard.
The drone in the sky captured this shocking scene and quickly reached audiences across the country who were concerned about the disaster relief.
"Dear audience, these are the most lovely people of our time. They used their bodies to block the flood. This is the embodiment of our great national spirit. In this battle against the flood, no one took a step back. They successfully built the second dam, which is the wall of life in Leicheng. They did it..." The reporter's voice was choked with excitement, and the touching scenes captured have been quickly spread to various media platforms by the audience.
Especially the more than 500 soldiers in the hacker base. They stood in front of the dam like giants made of steel. The scene of them being mercilessly beaten by the flood attracted everyone's attention.
This is a defense line that looks extremely fragile, but it is like an indestructible Great Wall of Steel, silently guarding the dam.
"I am ashamed that I once doubted my country, but after seeing these soldiers, I realized that they are always there to protect us."
"Yes, they are the cutest people of this era, and those who come to support this city are also the cutest people."
"Yes, they are all great and are our heroes."
Time passed slowly, and the night was like a huge black curtain, slowly covering the entire earth.
After completing the blasting, Chen Jun quickly returned and stood with the soldiers at the hacker base.
The first dam collapsed because it could not withstand the continuous impact, and the dam body was torn beyond recognition, but this is no longer important at the moment because the second dam has been successfully built.
Moreover, the strong winds and heavy rain gradually weakened.
Next, the third dam is being built intensively overnight just in case, but what is certain is that Leicheng is out of danger.
It is undoubtedly a great miracle that a city that was once thought to be abandoned has regained hope of life.
After daybreak, more convoys appeared on the roads of Leicheng. These were rescue teams that came from all over the country after watching the video.
Of course, not everyone can be allowed into the city at this time, because there are still many dangerous factors on the scene. The current main focus is on providing material support, which is also very critical.
But the brothers in the city still held on tenaciously, and no one chose to retreat or rotate.
At this time, Zhou Chuan, a big shot from the military, rushed to Leicheng in person, regardless of the obstruction of others. Originally, General Gao tried his best to stop him, advising him not to come and take risks, and just command from the periphery, but Big shot Zhou was firm in his attitude, saying: "The identity of this ghost Chen Jun is more special than mine, and his value is greater. He is taking risks, so why can't I come?"
Mr. Gao wanted to persuade him again, but Zhou Chuan waved his hand and said, "Don't say anything. I have to go."
"If you go, then I will go too. Let's go together. Leave the perimeter to others to command."
Zhou Chuan looked at President Gao speechlessly.
By the time they arrived in Leicheng, they were deeply shocked by the scene before them, before they had time to inspect the dangerous situation.
Hundreds of soldiers slept neatly on the ground, covered with rain gear. They fell asleep exhausted, but still maintained iron discipline.
The assistant beside Zhou Chuan said softly, "Chief, don't blame them. They have been using their bodies to block the flood for a day and a night. They are already extremely tired. They are really too exhausted."
Zhou Chuan looked at these soldiers silently, his eyes full of admiration, and said softly: "How can I blame them? I'm just worried that they will get sick if they fall asleep like this."
He slowly walked up to the soldiers, saluted them with a standard military salute, and said softly: "Thank you!"
When he saluted, he found that these soldiers were holding soaked and swollen bread in their hands. Some of them had half a piece of bread in their mouths but did not swallow it, as if they were still guarding their posts in their sleep, ready to wake up and continue fighting at any time.
"They are the soldiers from the hacker base." President Gao said gritting his teeth. His eyes wandered around but he didn't see that figure.
Where did Chen Jun go?
