Chapter 921: Chapter 922: Danger in the Storm Chapter 921: Chapter 922: Danger in the Storm These days, it has been raining almost everywhere in G Province. The situation in the capital city isnât too bad; the rain isnât very heavy, and the cityâs drainage system is quite good.
But he had also heard that in some mountainous areas, the rain was extremely heavy, and it had been raining for even longer, pouring torrentially for a week already.
Strictly speaking, Shiyi is not a rainy season, but the weather in G Province this year seemed very peculiar.
âGuan Town has experienced landslides and the river water has surged. The most serious situation has occurred in a small village called Jiguan Village. The local area has requested our Alliance District to organize support, and Officer Yang has already sent a pioneer team. However, we need to cooperate in transporting a batch of emergency supplies there, because the roads might be blocked at any moment due to landslides, which presents a great danger. I want to assign this mission to your team. What are your thoughts?â
The Aristocratic Family Alliance Supervisory Guard Team owes its high standing among the public and enjoys their admiration and affection precisely because every time there is such a situation, our Alliance District would not hesitate to contribute both money and effort.
Despite being a civilian organization, none would underestimate it.
âNo objections! We can depart at any time!â
âBut I have heard that your camp has been training in the rain for several days, especially youâŠâ
Meng Xinian stood up straight, âAll training is for the purpose of performing each mission more excellently! It is because we have trained these past few days that our team is better adapted to the severe weather currently in Guan Town!â
They didnât need further adaptation, so taking on this mission was the most suitable assignment for them.
âGood, time is of the essence, so I wonât say more. Once you take on the mission, you must complete it excellently! Although you are going to transport supplies, once the supplies arrive, you must also join the rescue efforts and help with evacuating citizens. You will be among the last personnel sweeping the rear. Understood?â
âUnderstood!â
âGo now. The supplies need to be loaded onto vehicles, weâll depart in half an hour!â
âYes!â
Upon leaving the command room, Meng Xinian immediately issued orders. Everyone was to assemble and prepare to depart within ten minutes.
He quickly returned to his dormitory, changed his clothes, and made a phone call.
Chiang Songhai answered the call, âHello?â
âGrandpa, itâs me.â
âXinian? Have you eaten yet?â
âNot yet, have you eaten, grandpa? Has it also been raining continuously in the county these past few days?â
âWe have eaten. Itâs been raining constantly. It stopped this morning, but now I see that the sky is darkening again, looks like itâs going to rain.â
âThen donât go out, and make sure to close all the doors and windows at home,â Meng Xinian cautioned before asking, âWhereâs Little?â
âChiang Xiaoxiao went back to Peace Town yesterday. She didnât tell you?â
âShe went back alone? Is there something wrong?â
He had talked on the phone with Chiang Xiao the day before yesterday, but Chiang Xiaoxiao hadnât mentioned that she would be returning to Peace Town over the weekend. Was there some sort of emergency?
Chiang Songhai didnât know how to explain the situation to Meng Xinian, and thought it would be better for Chiang Xiao to tell him herself. So, he replied, âRight, she went back by herself. Itâs nothing serious.â
Meng Xinian couldnât hide his disappointment.
He genuinely hoped to have a few words with Chiang Xiaoxiao before leaving on the mission. But now, there wasnât enough time to call Peace Town and have Hu Xibing find her to take the phone call.
âXinian, is there something on your mind?â
âYes, just wanted to tell Little that weâre about to depart to Guan Town to help the locals relocate due to the continuous torrential rains. I have to leave now and donât know when Iâll be back.â
Hearing this, Chiang Songhai suddenly became very worried, âDoes everyone have to relocate? Is the situation that serious?â
âIn Guan Town, thereâs a little village called Jiguan Village, situated in the mountains and downstream of a reservoir. The situation is quite serious. Grandpa, just let Little know about it; I might not be able to contact her for a few days. You donât have to worry either; after the mission, when I return to the Alliance District, Iâll call again. Grandpa, Iâm pressed for time, I need to hang up now.â
