“Ta ta ~”
The rain fell on some sandbags at the side, making a constant patter sound.
When they were eating, the rain had subsided for a while, but it started to rain heavily again a few minutes after they finished eating.
However, no one cared about this now. No one was even talking on the riverbank now.
One by one, the soldiers leaned against the wall and closed their eyes to rest. Some even laid on the ground and used the sandbags as pillows. The empty sandbags were used as mats, and they covered their faces with hats as they fell asleep.
They were all exhausted. Since they were out since yesterday morning, everyone had only slept for a total of three to four hours. The high-intensity work, the tense atmosphere, and the long hours really took a toll on them.
Now that they were full, everyone could not take it anymore. They were fighting with their eyelids.
Therefore, even though it was still raining, everyone was still in the rain, some even on the muddy ground fast asleep.
Wang Ye did the same. He put on the hat that he had thrown onto the river bank before saving the people. After putting it on, he used the shade of the hat to block the rain that could hit his eyes.
However, Wang Ye did not fall asleep immediately.
With a thought.
Strength: 1.5
Speed: 1.4
Stamina: 2.1
Vision: 1.25
Memory: 1.5
Reaction:i.4
Storage space: 1 cubic metre
Skills:… Swimming Ivl 4 (Max level)…
[Skill Points: 4]
Seeing that his skill points were still at four points, Wang Ye, who had his eyes closed, smiled.
Previously, when he was saving people, the system didn’t give any mission notifications. At that time, this was also on his mind.
However, after saving the people ashore, a notification of the reward suddenly appeared in his mind.
“Fearless of the flood and bravery to save people. The host is rewarded with two skill points!”
This meant that the two skill points that Wang Ye had previously added to his swimming skill had returned.
He was a little surprised, but he was also very sleepy now.
After a short surprise, he closed the attribute page, and his mind began to feel drowsy.
In less than half a minute, Wang Ye also fell into a deep sleep.
“Everybody is tired!”
The Chief of Staff, Wu Jian Feng, and the others walked to the riverbank. Seeing the soldiers who did not react to their arrival, the Chief of Staff showed a trace of dismay on his face.
Although he was also a soldier, he had experienced times when he was more tired and bitter than these soldiers.
For example, when he was in the army in 1998…
However, it was precisely because of this that he could understand the hardships and fatigue of these soldiers.
Many of them were still eighteen or nineteen years old.
Most of their peers were still playing games with their parents ‘money in school, but now they were fighting floods.
“Sigh, I already said that an army is trained for a thousand days to be used for a moment, but I really don’t know how long this moment will take!”
The Chief of Staff sighed. Wu Jian Feng said with a serious expression,”No matter how long it takes, our Iron Blood Four Company will never retreat!”
“Yes!” The chief of staff nodded with a smile.
He turned around and looked at Wu Jian Feng. The emotions on his face had also disappeared.”Yes, we will not retreat.”
“Then, we’ll carry out the order according to the plan.”
I’ll go over first. You guys can come over in two hours!”
“Yes, Sir!”
Wu Jian Feng raised his hand and saluted.
The plan was for the 4th Company to reinforce other areas.
However, Wu Jian Feng wanted to go over immediately.
However, the Chief of Staff eventually stopped him.
Firstly, the soldiers of the 4th Company were indeed tired.
Secondly, everyone was drenched and did not even have any dry clothes.
Coincidentally, a washing and drying truck had been sent over.
The Chief of Staff immediately decided to let everyone rest for another two hours and take the clothes that the soldiers of the Fourth Company last night to dry.
What he meant was that he could let everyone change into dry clothes before continuing to fight.
“Alright, I’ve sent it back!”
A voice sounded from the news van near the military transport vehicle.
After Wei Zi Yu and the others had finished interviewing Wang Ye, they left the river embankment and went to the car to send all the news footage they had captured back to the headquarters. At the same time, they contacted the headquarters to report their work.
Now that work was over, Wei Zi Yu stretched and rubbed her temples tiredly.
“Where are we going next? Do we still have to follow this unit to film?”
The cameraman in front turned his head and asked.
When Wei Zi Yu heard this, she turned to look out the window.
Immediately after, a look of astonishment appeared on her face.
She opened the car door and got out of the car.
“What’s wrong?”
The photographer lowered the car window and asked in confusion.
“Quick, bring the camera down!”
Soon, the two of them jogged to the riverbank again.
“They’re too sleepy!”
On the riverbank, the cameraman was holding up his camera. He walked carefully as he took pictures, afraid that he would accidentally step on the sleeping soldiers.
“Shh Wei Zi Yu raised his hand to signal him, then said in an extremely low voice,””Keep your voice down. Don’t disturb them. We’ll go back after taking a few photos!”
The two of them didn’t disturb anyone, nor did they do any interviews. They didn’t even walk far on the riverbank.
They stood on the riverbank and filmed the soldiers of the fourth company. Then, the two of them turned around and returned to the car.
A new round of work began once again. The cameraman transmitted the content of the shoot, and Wei Zi Yu contacted the main station again to report what had just happened and the content of the news…
Wang Ye had never expected that they would sneak attack him while he was sleeping.
” Directly attacking the flood-fighting scene and gaining an in-depth understanding of the flood-fighting frontline. Good afternoon, everyone. This is the afternoon news…”
At noon, Wang Ye was moving the trapped people in the county town.
However, in a place outside the county town that had not suffered from the flood disaster and could still be parked, Wei Zi Yu and the cameraman were in the news van, connecting to the Internet through their laptop and watching the news broadcast of their station.
Different from the past, the afternoon news was usually about all kinds of things in Xi Guang.
Even at this time of the year, news of people chopping sugar cane could often be seen.
But now, because of the flood, the news was all about fighting the flood.
From the countermeasures at the national level to the images of the flood-fighting frontline.
Wei Zi Yu and the other two were watching the news very seriously. The scene they were filming was the third piece of news.
Soon, five to six minutes passed.
“It’s 1:32 pm now…”
Wei Zi Yu appeared on the news.
“Coming
The two of them perked up, and Wei Zi Yu stared at the screen without blinking.
Although they were the ones who interviewed him, the content of the interview was definitely very different from the actual broadcast.
For example, the footage they had shot was two to three hours long, but the afternoon news only had a total of 30 minutes. How could they release all of it?
There would be someone at the radio station who would specially edit it.
In the news footage, Wei Zi Yu’s figure disappeared. Then, the footage of the flood control last night took seven to eight seconds to quickly switch to Wang Ye’s face.
That’s right, his face had appeared. Wang Ye had even said that he wanted to censor, and Wei Zi Yu had also agreed to censor his face, but there was no such thing now.
“I don’t want my parents to see me in this sorry state, so can you not interview me?”On the screen, the scene of Wang Ye’s first interview with Wei Zi Yu last night appeared.
With only this part left, it was time for the host to narrate.
“They are a group of children. Their faces are still young, but they are also a group of warriors.
The soldier who was interviewed was now covered in sand. The first thing he said to the camera was that he did not want his parents to see him like this.
However, heroes should not be buried. Please watch another scene.
On the news screen, the host’s figure switched to the scene of the wooden stake being hit yesterday.
The host’s voice was narrating.
“At four o’clock in the morning, there was another dangerous situation on the river bank of Old Hu Gang Village.
The river bank was leaking, and the warrior took the risk to go into the water to check the cause of the flood!”
At this moment, the image of Zheng Ke entering the water appeared on the screen.
There was also the situation where Zheng Ke asked to tie a sandbag to himself and go into the water again after entering the water.
The narration explained clearly.
At Wang Ye’s house, Xu Xiao Feng was also watching TV.
Ever since the flood in Xi Guang, she had been watching the news from the two TV stations at home.
She was worried about Wang Ye and wanted to see her son on the news.
It was just that he had not been able to get his wish before.
But now, she was excited.
Because she really saw her own child!
She saw how Wang Ye was covered in sand from digging sand bags.
He heard Wang Ye say that he didn’t want his family to see him like that.
At this moment, she could not help but cry.
But she did not wipe her tears.
She looked nervously at the news footage. She had seen the leadership of her son, risking his life to get into the water.
She was very nervous, but at the same time, she was a little glad that Wang Ye hadn’t done that.
But soon, she could not help but cover her chest.
Because the news directly switched to the scene of Zheng Ke and Meng Wenbin falling down when the excavator hit the fifth wooden stake.
At this moment, Wang Ye’s mother’s heart beat rapidly…
” The situation is extremely urgent. There was a sudden accident during the pile-driving process. Two soldiers who risked their lives to fix the wooden stakes fell into the flood along with the collapse of the river bank…”
The news anchor introduced the news, and then the live broadcast also appeared.
At this moment, amidst the noisy scene and the shaking scene, she saw a person grabbing a bamboo pole underwater at the collapsed area.
At the same time, she heard her son’s voice in the midst of the noisy scene. She immediately followed the camera and saw the figure of another soldier floating in the torrential flood…
The camera was shaking, and the cameraman was clearly moving backwards in order to capture the soldier who was washed away in the water.
Then, something that made her heart jump to her throat happened.
Because the video was edited, she saw a figure scuttling up the flood wall downstream.
They were fifty to sixty meters apart, but for a professional camera, this distance was still very clear.
No one else could recognise the person who had run up the flood wall.
After all, it was just a quick jump to the side, and he was still dozens of meters away.
However, she was Wang Ye’s mother…
Even though she couldn’t see the front, even though she only turned her body for a short moment, she felt like she was going to faint when she saw the figure that jumped onto the flood wall without a second of hesitation and jumped into the flood…
She was certain that this was Wang Ye, her child….
