That was Natsume. His face was injured, as if it had been cut open by a knife. The flesh and blood hung under the corners of his eyes. His arms were still bleeding. He couldn't see where the wound was, but he never let go of Li Li in his arms.

Dan.

Several people who came to search for survivors saw Natsume and immediately ran over and pulled him ashore.

Li Dan was not injured, but she was not breathing. With her eyes closed tightly, she seemed to have drowned in the sewage.

Several experienced rescuers immediately took off Li Dan's coat, and then began to try to expel the sewage she drank from her stomach. Upon seeing this, Natsume pushed the few people away and said, "I'll come, you go and see if there are any others."

Are people alive..."

The rescuers dispersed consciously.

Natsume hugged Li Dan from behind and used his arms to squeeze the sewage out of her stomach. Then he started to give her cardiopulmonary resuscitation and artificial respiration... However, two minutes passed, and Li Dan still showed no sign of waking up.

Natsume finally panicked. He kept repeating oral respiration and cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and kept shouting Li Dan's name.

After hearing that Natsume and others were swallowed by the sewage, Masato hurried over and saw Natsume's seriously injured face with tears. He kept shouting "Li Dan! Li Dan! Wake up! Li Dan!!! Wake up."

Wake up!"

But the body of the girl in his arms was cold and there was no breath left.

Seeing this scene, Masato was secretly jealous. She pushed away the men who blocked her from entering the dangerous area and came to Natsume. She wanted to comfort Natsume, but seeing his helpless look, Masato didn't know what to say.

.

She covered her mouth, tears welling up in her eyes.

Sounds came from the passage from time to time, including surprises and wailings...

In the end, all fifteen people were found. But only three survived, and these three did not include Li Dan.

The old classmates who had been together for many years had only just met, and in the blink of an eye they were gone.

Natsume, whose face had been disinfected and bandaged, and who had many scratches and bruises on her body, did not go back to rest, but returned to the front line of the accident.

In the medical room, twelve bodies were covered under white sheets. Masato looked at the clock with his blank eyes, expecting everything to end soon.

…

"Broadcast, this matter can no longer be hidden. Today we have to face it together. Anyone who talks to me about the same old tricks in officialdom at this time, disregarding the interests of the masses for the sake of the black gauze hat on his head and his little face, is talking to me.

Lao Xing can’t make it!” Xing Zhuoshan, the top manager of Xiongan No. 1 Shelter, made a decisive decision at the meeting, leaving no room for ambiguity.

Although not all of his subordinates were members of the team led by the old Xiongan New District Party Committee Secretary, everyone unanimously approved it.

Once the attitude is revealed, all that remains is the choice of countermeasures.

"The simulation data of the people in the technical department show that if the Qingshui family's plan is used, the number of casualties may be further expanded to about 300 people, but it can be solved once and for all, and the shelter will return to normal quickly. But if we follow the plan submitted by that girl Li Dan,

According to the plan, the number of casualties will be reduced to less than one hundred people, but the shelter will be in a state of 'recuperation' for more than half a year, and everyone will have to live a hard life together." Secretary Liu made a brief report.

The old secretary looked at several deputies.

Bian Xiaowei, who is in charge of water circulation, said, "No more people can die! Even if we have to live a hard life, we must not trade another life for it! This is not a matter of time! It is a moral issue! It is a matter of long-term stability in the refuge! So

I support the second option!"

After hearing this, several other deputies also expressed their opinions. In the end, by a ratio of four to one, only a senior deputy from the energy supply block chose Plan No. 1.

The old secretary nodded, "I just heard that in order to block the flood peak caused by the overflow of sewage from the sedimentation tank, an inspector named Natsume led a dozen people to the front. As a result, a wave came over and eleven people died.

, and among these eleven people is Li Dan, who provided us with the second plan..."

Hearing the news, the venue immediately exploded. Obviously, no one expected that Li Dan would be killed because of this incident... Bian Xiaowei's knuckles turned white when he clenched them. He stood up and said, "Secretary Xing, I apply to join.

Emergency repair team! Please make sure I deserve my punishment!"

Xing Zhuoshan glanced at him. He didn't know what his student's temperament was like.

His subordinates have made such a big mistake, and he cannot absolve himself of the blame. If he can sit here honestly now, he is already trying his best to restrain himself. Now a first central axis officer has come to Xiongan No. 1 Refuge Station to recruit

The special correspondent who prepared talents was also killed because of this incident. Bian Xiaowei is afraid that it will be difficult for him to get out of the shadow caused by this incident for the rest of his life.

"Don't worry, sit down!" Xing Zhuoshan said solemnly, with some reproach in his eyes.

Bian Xiaowei did not sit down. He clenched his fists tightly and repeated, "Please let me join the emergency repair team!"

"Sit down!" Xing Zhuoshan patted the table. At that time, the entire conference room became quiet and everyone sat upright.

Bian Xiaowei sat down again, but it was obvious that he felt very humiliated.

"Since everyone agrees, let's follow the second plan. In addition, this rescue operation is very professional. Several of you senior executives here are laymen. Don't go to the front line to give blind orders. I, an old man, will go to the town.

The place is enough, everyone else is busy with their own business, remember! As long as you stabilize the shelter for me, you will have done a great job! You don’t need to care about the rest!"

Those attending the meeting were all the principals in charge of various departments. When they heard that the old secretary was going to go there in person, everyone became nervous.

"No, old secretary, you are eighty years old, there is no need to take this risk! If you are worried, I can arrange for the main control center to feedback the real-time picture to you. You can completely

Remote command in the conference room!" Secretary Liu was very nervous. After all, his priority was Xing Zhuoshan's safety.

Xing Zhuoshan glared, "Stop talking nonsense! Go and make an announcement now. I will see three thousand 'soldiers' within an hour! Go quickly!"

Secretary Liu, who knew Xing Zhuoshan's character well, didn't dare to say anything more. He immediately stood up and went to prepare.

Everyone else in the conference room looked at Xing Zhuoshan, and Xing Zhuoshan said, "Okay, you all should go back. Also... Xiaowei, you come down with me."

After hearing this, Bian Xiaowei raised his head and looked at his teacher gratefully.

"yes."

…

After the broadcast was sent out, there was a slight commotion in the shelter, but when they heard that 3,000 people would be recruited for rescue, no one backed down at this time.

The problem that Secretary Liu thought would take more time to deal with was actually completed in only twenty minutes.

Moreover, he deliberately recruited 500 more people.

After the 3,500 people were in place, the equipment of the logistics department also arrived. The engineers of the Qingshui family took the revised plan of the first central axis and assigned tasks in the confluence area in fifteen minutes.

Three thousand people are the main combat force, and five hundred people are the reserve force.

The main combat force is divided into three groups. The first group of 1,000 people is the sewage area troubleshooting group. They will carry underwater cutting devices into the sedimentation tank flooded by sewage to dismantle the paralyzed pressure pump and then transport it out as a whole.

The second group is 1,500 people, mainly responsible for installing emergency pressure pumps and new pressure pump components. They will carry the assembly into the accident area and reinstall the new pressure pump at the designated location after the troubleshooting team completes the disassembly.

Restore water circulation status.

The third group is a follow-up desilting group of 500 people. They will enter the site together with the first group of people. They mainly carry filtering devices to intercept large particles of sediment near the obstacle removal area, and at the same time ensure that the second group is installed during the installation process.

Cleaning of water bodies. The work of this group of people lasts the longest and is also the hardest. They need to work in the accident area non-stop from beginning to end. The working time is expected to exceed twelve hours.

Considering the physical exertion, the 500 people in the reserve team are mainly used to replace the personnel of the third group.

After the mission was explained and assigned, Bian Xiaowei ordered the sewage outlet to be opened and began to discharge 30% of the total circulating water in the shelter.

After the discharge started, Natsume and others who were fighting the sewage overflow could finally take a break.

Zhang Zien, who entered the accident area early to check the status of the pressure pump, came back, and he brought back good news and bad news.

The good news is that the third pressure pump is still in working condition, and its existence is conducive to helping the rescue team carry out their work. But the bad news is that the average temperature of the water body is continuing to drop, and it has now dropped below ten degrees Celsius. If the sewage discharge is turned on,

The water temperature is expected to drop further, which will undoubtedly be a major obstacle to emergency repair work.

The Shimizu engineers, who had ignored the temperature of the water body when formulating the rescue plan, proposed to suspend the repair work after learning the news, hoping to gain more time to re-formulate the plan.

But Xing Zhuoshan rejected this proposal.

Facts have proved that the old secretary’s rejection was extremely forward-looking.

The continued drop in water temperature is indeed a big problem. But continuing to delay will drag the damage caused by the accident into an endless loop... and in the end it will become a bottomless pit.

If we wait for an hour now, the water temperature will still not improve after an hour.

Even if the strategy of heating upstream water bodies is adopted, it can only alleviate the problem to a certain extent, but it will also lead to an imbalance in the power supply and further cause unpredictable damage to other systems.

Therefore, the old secretary said at the final mobilization meeting: "Don't be afraid of the cold! Don't be afraid of sacrifice! You are a hero when you come! I, Lao Xing, will set up the wine here and wait for you to come back! If you can't come back, I will pay for your family's expenses myself."

Set it up for you! Of course, if you are scared or timid now and want to quit! I, Old Xing, will never call you a coward! Do you want to quit?!"

"No!"

Speaking in unison, in unison.

The team of 3,500 people used practical actions to tell Qingshui's engineers that they had nothing to fear.

"Okay! Let's go!"

With one sentence of departure, the emergency repair work officially began.

Natsume originally planned to join the emergency repair team, but his wound became inflamed and his body temperature soon exceeded the normal value. After the nurse found that he had a fever, the doctor refused to allow him to take risks again.

The elegant people also came to persuade him.

But when he thought of Li Dan dying because of him... Natsume's body couldn't stop trembling.

But in the end he was defeated by the high fever and passed out in Masato's arms.

At night, at 9 p.m., according to past regulations, the shelter will gradually enter the night rest state, and all work will press the pause button one after another. But tonight, no one will fall asleep.

While the rescue team was starting work, the heads of each region also began to inform the public that Shelter No. 1 in Xiongan New District would enter an emergency energy-saving state in the next six months. This belt-tightening policy is very Chinese, and ordinary people are also concerned about it.
