Chapter 320: Natural disaster, emergency situation!

Nie Zhongxing's face looked anxious. He was from Xinfeng County and had been an official in Xinfeng County before. He had seen the horror of flash floods!

Rainwater gathers into flash floods, which have nowhere to pour, and will flow to Xinfeng County, and then the entire Xinfeng County will be submerged...

Wang Kang asked in a deep voice: "Is the situation serious?"

"It's just formed, it's still a trickle...if it takes longer, we won't know for sure."

Nie Zhongxing said again: "Because there is tunnel construction over there in Dongshan and some of our production bases, the ditches are well made, so there should be no problem!"

"How's the progress on the moat?"

Nie Zhongxing said: "With the existence of fire, the moat was excavated very quickly, but it has not yet been completely formed and penetrated. It needs to be renovated in the future. Now there is rainwater accumulation..."

"Continue to go out for inspection, and if there is any abnormality, report it as soon as possible!"

"yes!"

Then Nie Zhongxing retreated.

In the evening, the rain became less intense, but it has not stopped yet. The previous preparations have taken effect. So far, nothing has happened...

If it's just like this, nothing will happen.

But the weather was obviously unfavorable, the rain kept falling, and dangers already appeared.

The first problem occurred on the Yuntai Mountain side, which is to the south of Xinfeng County.

The mountains are high and continuous, the ravines are deep, and overall they are lower than those in Xinfeng County.

As a result, the flash floods formed will flow down to Xinfeng County, but further south from Yuntai Mountain, the Yongding Earl's Mansion fiefdom will be rarely affected.

At night, mountain torrents were already flowing down, and the people living at the foot of the mountain were hit.

However, these were all included in Wang Kang's emergency plan. The Earl's Mansion's private soldiers stationed in Xinfeng County quickly dispatched... and provided labor and rescue.

This night is destined to be a sleepless night.

Even Wang Kang was uncertain. From the time he entered Xinfeng County, he started developing construction, building roads and cities...

First time encountering this kind of thing.

If you can't resist it, it's likely that everything will be in vain.

Natural disasters are the only things he cannot control.

The time gradually came to midnight, and it became completely dark outside, but the rain showed no signs of stopping, and it just kept falling...

Wang Kang's room was filled with light, and Li Qingman said to him: "Would you like to take a rest? Everyone has left, so there shouldn't be any problems."

"It's impossible to rest," Wang Kang said with a solemn expression, "I want to go and see for myself."

"You don't have to,"

Li Qingman said: "The rain is so heavy, and Nie Zhongxing is on site to direct, and Zhou Qing is also there..."

"No, I don't know if I don't go. If the flash flood is strong, destroying a few houses will be a trivial matter. I'm afraid Xinfeng County will be flooded."

"The construction of the city has just begun. The construction site cannot be damaged, otherwise all the early efforts will be in vain. This loss is unbearable!"

Wang Kang said that he had already stood up and asked Xiao Tao to bring him the bamboo hat and coir raincoat.

"I'll go with you." Li Qingman also stood up.

When the two of them went out together, there was already deep water at the door, and the sky was pitch black, and the torches could not be lit because of the rain.

I could only carry a kerosene lamp with a cover, and the visibility was very low!

"Master Kang, where are you going?"

the guard at the door asked.

"Go to the foot of Yuntai Mountain..." Wang Kang said casually.

"I'll take a team of people to accompany you. The rain is too heavy and it's dark. Don't let anything happen to you."

"good."

Wang Kang did not refuse. In such weather, the carriage would definitely not be able to go, so he could only walk.

After leaving the county government, the road was muddy, and my feet quickly got wet when I stepped on it, and it was very difficult to walk.

This made Wang Kang even more determined that the new city must be completely hardened and the roads paved again.

Guards were guarding both sides, Wang Kang and Li Qingman were walking in the middle...

Wang Kang of Xinfeng County is also very familiar with it. He also knows the place where the accident happened. Even at night, he can find it with the direction.

Even though he was wearing a raincoat and a bamboo hat, his clothes got wet quickly, especially as water got into his shoes. He couldn't see the road clearly at night and could step into a mud puddle inadvertently.

"Master Kang, how about we carry you away?" the leader of the guard said.

"Stop talking nonsense, it's not like I have no legs!" Wang Kang shouted, "Hurry up!"

The journey is not long, but it does not take long to walk.

This is a natural ravine extending down Yuntai Mountain. Because of its low altitude, mountain torrents pour out from here and flow into Xinfeng County.

"Brush, brush,"

If you get closer, you can hear the sound of rushing water, and you can vaguely see many shadows swaying back and forth...

"Be careful, don't be washed away by the flood!"

"Here, continue to pile sandbags up and divert the water elsewhere,"

"Master Nie can't do it. The water is too strong and it was washed away as soon as I put it on!"

"If you can't stop it, you have to stop it. If the flash flood enters Xinfeng County, we will suffer even greater disasters!"

Amidst the patter of rain, rapid shouts rang out.

Although Wang Kang couldn't see the real situation, he could still hear the seriousness of the matter.

All previous preventive measures were carried out around the existing construction site, especially on the Dongshan side. Because of the existence of tunnels, waterproof ditches were quite complete.

Even at the iron mine, precautions were taken, but here it was neglected and turned into a flash flood mouth, unexpectedly...

"Master Kang is here, Master Kang is here!" the guard shouted!

Wang Kang walked toward where there were many figures.

Hearing this sound, people were suddenly shocked.

"Where is Master Kang? Master Kang, be careful. It's too dangerous here. You'd better go back!"

As he got closer, Wang Kang could vaguely see a raging flood flowing down the mountain, and he could hear the collision of stones.

This must be something brought by the flood impact.

Wang Kang frowned slightly, this was not possible. The visibility was too low, which not only made defense more difficult, but was also very dangerous.

Fortunately, although it rained, there was no wind. Thinking of this, Wang Kang had an idea.

"Where is Nie Zhongxing? Come to me!" Wang Kang shouted.

"Master Nie, Master Kang calls you,"

Sounds passed one after another.

"Master Kang, I'm here," Nie Zhongxing heard the voice and came over, "Master Kang, it's too dangerous here, just a few of us are here..."

"You go and arrange a team of people to hold an umbrella and hold the fire. It's pitch black, but that won't work."

"Yeah, why didn't I think of that? I was so busy,"

Nie Zhongxing said in surprise: "There is no wind now, so I will light the torch and use an umbrella to cover it, and that will provide lighting!"

"I'll make arrangements right away,"

Under the crisis, arrangements were made quickly. Construction could not be carried out because of the rain, and there were many idle workers. Under the organization of Nie Zhongxing, some people soon came over holding torches.

Their main purpose is to hold the fire and ensure the light, so that everything in front of them can be seen clearly.

In the mountains, there are long and sloping ravines, in which floods roll down...

There was a mess on both sides below, with scattered houses that had been washed away!

The water did not stop and rushed into Xinfeng County unscrupulously...

Seeing this scene, everyone's faces turned pale. How to resist such water?

Is Xinfeng County, which has just started to improve, destined to return to its original state in this natural disaster?
Chapter completed!
