Chapter 297: Save Me!

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation     Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

At this moment, many people on the riverbank were flustered by the sudden change.

Wang Ye was also shocked.

He quickly ran towards the collapsed area.

Everyone knew that this place was dangerous.

When the tree stump was pressed down by the excavator, it might cause the soil below to erode. Even after the tree stump was fixed, the water in the tree stump would also cause the suction force of the water in the river bank that had already formed a big pit to increase, causing the river bank to collapse or even directly break the hole.

However, this was a free proposition. If he didn’t do so, he could only watch God’s mood.

If he did, at least there was a high chance that he would be able to settle this place without a problem.

Naturally, everyone chose to work.

Since he was going to do it, he had to take the risk.

Zheng Ke said that he was the deputy company commander. He used his title and mission as the assault team leader to force a place for this dangerous position.

Kang Hua was going to get the other spot, but Third Platoon Leader Meng Wen Bin pulled him aside and asked for him to go instead.

He felt that his life so far was a little meaningless and sad.

As a platoon leader, his presence in the company was too low.

In terms of training, he was no match for the veterans. Under such circumstances, although the veterans were still giving him face on the surface, they were really only being polite on the surface.

The army is a violent organization after all.

In the army, if you wanted people to respect you, unless you took the political route, you definitely couldn’t neglect training.

However, even if you wanted to take the path of political work, the military system did not have the path of platoon leader. Even if you wanted to take the path in the future, you had to start as a platoon leader first.

This was a dead end.

Therefore, he wanted to use this opportunity to prove himself. Under his forceful request, the company commander, the instructor, and the chief of staff all agreed.

However, he did not expect that something would really happen now.

In fact, everyone had also asked the two of them to try their best to avoid the spot where there might be a pit.

However, it was impossible to deviate too much from the horizontal line. Otherwise, under the impact of the torrential flood, you would not be able to stabilise the tree stump at all.

Moreover, the area of collapse was surprisingly large.

The original pit was only two to three meters wide, but once this thing collapsed, it would cause a larger area of the river bank to collapse.

Now, this was the place. Once it collapses, it would directly collapse in an area of five to six meters wide.

“Quick, save them, save them!” The chief of staff’s expression changed drastically as he stood there and shouted.

But soon, a surprise appeared.

Although the water was surging at the collapsed area, one could see a person bobbing up and down at the opening below.

He held the bamboo pole tightly in his hand, and the bamboo pole was still fixed to the fifth tree stump.

“Quick, it’s Deputy Lian. Save him!”

“Where’s Platoon Leader Meng?”

Two different voices sounded.

Now that Wang Ye had arrived, he naturally saw Zheng Ke holding the bamboo pole.

At this moment, Wang Ye felt a trace of relief in his heart. One of them had grabbed the bamboo pole, so it didn’t seem like a big problem.

But immediately, this sense of relief disappeared.

But what about one?

What about platoon leader Meng Wen Bin?

“Quick, find Wen Bin!”

“Quick, quick ~”

“First Platoon, save them. Second Platoon, Third Platoon, follow me down to find them!”Wu Jian Feng bellowed.

“He’s down there!”

Suddenly, Wang Ye exclaimed.

His vision was also extraordinary. At this moment, Wang Ye saw a figure wearing a red life jacket floating out from the flood more than ten metres downstream of the collapse.

Meng Wen Bin was also wearing a life jacket.

Although the life jacket wasn’t very reliable in such a big flood, it could still give him a better chance.

At this moment, while Wang Ye shouted, he was also shocked.

He was swept away too quickly.

It had only been a short while, but he had already gone down more than ten metres.

Wang Ye quickly looked left and right.

Immediately, Wang Ye saw a bundle of rope placed at the side.

This was a backup for tying up tree stumps.

When tying it up, it would be cut according to the requirements.

This bundle had yet to be cut.

Wang Ye immediately ran over and picked it up.

Then, he didn’t think too much about it. He looked at the half-collapsed area in front of him. Moreover, because there was no longer a flood wall, the flood water rushed over the river bank.

Wang Ye’s movements were fast. The power of the flood that was rushing over was not great at the moment, so although Wang Ye almost fell, he still came over.

However, not long after Wang Ye rushed over, someone behind him wanted to follow him, but “Aiyo” sounds were heard one after another.

Their lower bodies weren’t as stable as Wang Ye’s. In addition, the water flow that rushed over also increased. Some of the people who followed were swept away by the water.

Fortunately, the people who were swept away were not too big of a problem. They did not fall into the collapsed area of the river bank. They were swept away by the water to the back of the river bank. There was not much danger.

But even so, the chief of staff still hurriedly stopped the people who wanted to continue.

“Don’t go through here. Go down and take a detour. You guys find a way to save them first!”

He was shouting at the people below the collapsed area.

There were actually people standing and watching upstream and downstream of the collapsed river bank.

There were only a little more upstream, but there were still 30 to 40 soldiers from the 4th Company below, and there were also many local villagers.

Of course, the people downstream didn’t need him to say anything. They were all following Meng Wen Bin in the water and shouting at him.

“Quick, quick, swim over.”

Someone picked up a bamboo pole and put it into the water.”Quick, quick, grab the bamboo pole!”

However, Meng Wen Bin was washed away too quickly, and it could be seen that he was indeed struggling to reach the shore.

However, in the flood, the current was fast, and the water on the shore had the force to form waves. He was held by the life jacket and could not swim over by himself.

In fact, let alone swimming over, he would be swept into the water from time to time.

If it weren’t for his swimsuit, he wouldn’t have been able to surface from time to time.

“Gather people, let’s form a human rope to pull him up!”Someone shouted, causing Wu Jian Feng, who had run over before Wang Ye, to be so frightened that his heart shrank.

“No way!”

Wu Jian Feng immediately shouted for them to stop.

What kind of joke was this? It was such a huge flood, and the bottom was so deep.

At least six to seven meters deep, what kind of rope would that be? It wouldn’t be a rope, but soldiers holding hands to form the Bridge of Helplessness!

“Company commander, hold on to the rope!”

Suddenly, a person ran over to Wu Jian Feng and stuffed a rope into his hand.

ii

Hmm?”

Wu Jian Feng quickly turned his head. Immediately, he saw Wang Ye with a rope tied to his waist.

“You…!”

Wu Jian Feng wanted to say something, but Wang Ye pushed him away. As he ran, Wang Ye looked at the person in the water and said,”Company commander, we don’t have time. There’s a mountain below. If we don’t save the platoon leader, we won’t be able to keep up.

Their bamboo poles are too short. You pull the rope, I’ve already tied it tightly.”

After saying this, Wang Ye let go of his hand and pushed him up the flood wall.

“Wang Ye, wait!”

Wu Jian Feng shouted.

In fact, Zhou Qi, who was running in front, also heard the commotion and looked over. His expression immediately changed and he shouted,”Stop, switch, let me do it instead!”

He had been downstream earlier, so he had run ahead of them.

Seeing Wang Ye like this, he became anxious and wanted to enter the water in Wang Ye’s place.

However, Wang Ye didn’t waste any more time with them.

He had been looking at Meng Wenbin when he was tying the rope for himself. At the same time, he was calculating the route he would take after he got into the water.

When he felt that it was about time, he gave the rope to Wu Jian Feng and rushed up the riverbank.

“Plop

The cold flood raged on in a heavy current. As soon as Wang Ye entered the water, he felt that his body was being swept out of control.

However, very soon, Wang Ye held his breath and began to stabilise his body underwater.

Wang Ye was actually very afraid of death. When he had made this decision just now, he had upgraded his swimming skill by two levels.

This brought his swimming skill to the maximum level.

Therefore, after Wang Ye entered the water, although his body was a little out of control due to the flood, the superb swimming skills brought by the points allowed him to quickly control his body and rush to the surface from underwater.

After coming up, the first thing Wang Ye saw was Wu Jian Feng and the others.

The flood had just turned him over.

At this moment, Wu Jian Feng and Zhou Qi were pulling the rope together.

At this moment, when Wu Jian Feng and the others saw Wang Ye appear, they heaved a sigh of relief.

Seeing that Wang Ye had disappeared into the water, they would be lying if they said they weren’t worried.

At this moment, he hurriedly shouted,”Wang Ye, be careful!”

ii

1’11 go save them!”

Wang Ye shouted, then turned around and swam towards Meng Wen Bin’s location in the river.

He was now about ten metres away from the shore and had been struggling. From time to time, his entire body would be swept by the water. After a while, he would be brought out of the water by the buoyancy of the life jacket.

It was obvious that he had lost his sense of direction. Without the buoyancy of the life jacket, he might not have been able to surface on his own.

Wang Ye quickly approached.

Behind him, Wu Jian Feng stood on the sandbag wall and ran with him. He was holding a rope.

On the other side, Zhou Qi and the others pulled on the rope and followed nervously.

“Hurry, platoon leader!”

In the water, Wang Ye roared as he swam towards Meng Wen Bin.

In fact, at this moment, Meng Wen Bin had also noticed Wang Ye.

At this moment, his desire to live made him desperately move closer to Wang Ye.

Finally, Wang Ye, who was in the water, grabbed his hand that was flailing around.

“Quick, pull them up!”

Wu Jian Feng had been watching. When he saw this scene, he jumped back and got off the flood wall. He grabbed the rope and began to exert strength.

The others did the same. They exerted their strength together. In the water, Wang Ye felt his waist tighten, and then his entire body was dragged underwater.

However, he did not panic, nor did he let go of Meng Wen Bin’s hand.

Of course, it didn’t matter if Wang Ye let go now. Meng Wen Bin was grabbing even tighter…

“Slow down, slow down!”

Seeing the two of them being dragged into the water, Wu Jian Feng’s heart was in his throat as he hurriedly shouted.

Fortunately, it wasn’t a big problem. As soon as they slowed down, Wang Ye and Meng Wenbin floated up to the surface of the water seven or eight meters away.

“Pull slowly, pull slowly!” Wu Jian Feng commanded.
