Chapter 176
Who would have thought that even though they had seen the motorboat that belonged to them, the person in charge of this material refused to give it to Xu Tao, insisting that it did not belong to Xu Tao or the others.
Just when Xu Tao was so angry that he lost his mind and was about to take action, Wu Qingyun arrived in time.
"What's going on? Why don't you leave?"
When Xu Tao saw Wu Qingyun, it was like seeing a savior, and he quickly said to him:
"This guy acts like he doesn't understand people. He's obviously our motorboat, but he won't give it to me!"
Wu Qingyun pointed at Xiang Chi's two motorboats and asked the warehouse manager sternly.
"What's going on? Those two motorboats do belong to other people, and the previous registration records are also there. They are kept here for our safekeeping. Why don't you return the motorboats to the people?"
The warehouse manager hesitated and said, "This...this..." for a long time.
Wu Qingyun narrowed his eyes, knowing there was something fishy going on, but now was not the time to talk about that.
Since the implementation of military control in Dancheng, there have been frequent conflicts between the leadership team of the original government system and the military.
The army is not good at grassroots management and does not have that many people, so these lower-level organizations are still staffed by the original government agencies and units.
If it were before, Wu Qingyun would talk about everything he said, but now the situation is critical and he has no time to talk about such nonsense.
After glaring at the warehouse manager, Wu Qingyun went in and carried the two motorboats out.
Give it to Xu Tao and let him check if there is any damage.
He snorted coldly at the warehouse manager:
"Register well so that we won't be blamed if something else is missing."
The man's face turned red as if he had been exposed. He wanted to say something, but after looking at Wu Qingyun's epaulettes, he pressed back.
While Xu Tao was inspecting their motorboat, official people came to pick up things one after another.
Wu Qingyun wanted to organize people to evacuate, so he hurriedly said hello to Xu Tao and ran away.
Xu Tao and Xiang's father and mother found a corner. The three of them and their six eyes were staring at the door of the logistics tent, for fear of missing Xiang Chi and the others who were looking for them.
"Why haven't you come here yet? Is there any problem?"
Xiang Ma was so anxious that she stamped her feet and couldn't help but walk back and forth. Dad Xiang was also very anxious, but seeing that Mom was so impatient, it was difficult to show it, just when Mom was about to make Dad faint. Xu Tao's eyes lit up.
"They're here!"
In the distance, Xiang Chi ran in front, followed by Han Dongdong, Xu's father and Xu's mother, and Xu Ge at the end.
Xiang Chi felt a thump in his heart when he saw no one at the logistics door. After searching around, I saw Xu Tao running over in the corner while waving.
"Xu Tao and the others are over there!"
Xiang Chi pointed at Xu Tao, who was running over, and led everyone to rush that way.
The whole family was finally reunited.
At this time, more and more people were running to higher places. No one saw their two motorboats. Nowadays, motorboats are more envied than food. They are life-saving things.
If Xu Ge and Xu Tao hadn't stood in front of them with machetes in their fierce looks, someone with no foresight would have come to snatch them away.
Handing the extra backpack to Dad Xiang and Mom, Xu Ge and Dad Xiang put their backpacks on their backs and ran to higher places carrying the motorboat.
At this time, the flood had spread to the camp. When Xiang Chi looked back, he saw the raging flood destroying the tents that they had no time to take away. My steps went a little faster unconsciously. Now I am racing against life!
There was another rumbling roar in the sky, and with the thunder, the rain became more intense, as if a hole had been poked in the sky.
The water rose too fast, and some people who were unable to move or react quickly were swallowed by the flood. Not only did Xiang Chi hear the sound of rain, but he also heard the constant whine coming from behind.
Xu Ge took the time to look back and saw the rapidly rising water level, his pupils tightened.
No, you can't win by running.
Xu Ge immediately stopped and called to his father. Xu Ge quickly separated the two motorboats that were fixed together.
"The water level is rising too fast! We will be overtaken before we reach the top of the mountain. Quickly untie the motorboat!"
Their motorboats were one big and one small. The small motorboat could just fit in the cabin of the big motorboat. Afraid of being unstable when running, Xu Tao fixed it with a lifeline, but when he thought of using it, he just tied a lifeline. buckle.
Xu Tao listened to Xu Ge's instructions, pulled the end of the rope, untied the life rope, took out the small motorboat, and helped Han Dongdong sit in.
After Xu Ge settled Xiang Chi and a few old people here, the water was already up to his feet.
It was already dark at this time, and a bolt of lightning pierced the night sky. With this light, Xiang Chi looked behind him in horror, and saw a wave of water four to five meters high rushing towards him.
"Come up quickly! There's a flood!!!"
Xiang Chi roared heartbreakingly.
Xu Ge and Xu Tao jumped into the motorboat without hesitation. As soon as they grabbed the handrail, the flood peak hit them like the head of a water dragon.
Xiang Chi's motorboat was pushed far away like leaves in the water.
In order to prevent the two motorboats from being washed apart, they tied the motorboats together with a lifeline.
At this time, the lifeline collapsed under the force of the water.
Xiang Chi held on to the wave-proof handrail tightly, fearing that a wave would hit him and drag him under the water. The other hand held Xu Ge tightly.
There were wailing and neighing sounds all around, and the flood was mercilessly devouring the crowd.
There were also some lucky people who grabbed onto the driftwood and drifted helplessly with the current.
Xiang Chi and the others couldn't do anything now, they just looked at this cruel reality in silence.
The water speed was too fast, and this was in the mountains, and there was nothing to grab around. They couldn't fix it in a certain place, so they could only be passively pushed away by the water.
Seeing that he was about to drift out of the three mountains surrounding the camp, Xu Ge wanted to turn on the engine and walk back to avoid being swept too far away and unable to find his way home.
But he was stopped by Father Xu.
"It's still raining at the moment, and the water is moving too fast. When we go back, the wind is against us. We don't know how long it will rain for. We don't have much oil, so we have to use it carefully."
When Xu Ge heard this, he thought it made sense. After talking to Xu Tao, he decided to stay like this for now.
Xiang Chi looked at Han Dongdong, who was holding Xu Xiaobao and shivering, and couldn't bear it. She bit her lip, pulled Xu Ge, and told Xu Ge that Xu Tao and Han Dongdong risked their lives just now to stay and look for them. , and also talked about his plan to tell Han Dongdong's family about the existence of space.
Xu Ge turned to look at Xu Tao and Han Dongdong. He didn't expect such a thing to happen. It all happened so fast, he didn't have time to think about it.
Xu Ge thought for a moment and held Xiang Chi's hand.
"After experiencing so much together, I have long regarded Xu Tao and Han Dongdong as my own family, and I agree with them emotionally."
