The man wearing the raincoat before her.

was none other than Turkey, whom she had previously rejected.

"Yin Sister asked me to come. She was afraid you couldn't handle it, so she sent me to help you."

Turkey said.

A wave of indignation crossed Zhao Yiyi's face.

She said, "I told you I could handle it, and I definitely can. You can go now; I don't need your help."

Turkey lifted the tent flap and looked at Chen Fang, who was busy in the distance, then said with a sheepish grin, "I'm afraid you won't go through with it, huh? With my help, you won't get overly emotional, right?"

"Turkey, I warn you, stay out of my business."

Zhao Yiyi finally lost her temper.

She yelled at Turkey.

Turkey stretched out his hands in a gesture of surrender.

Suddenly he flipped his hand.

A remote control appeared in his palm.

"What is this?"

Zhao Yiyi asked.

Turkey said, "Following Yin Sister's orders, I've already had someone rig the dam with explosives. Don't worry, it's a small charge, but it's enough to blow a hole through the sandbags. Then, your mission will be completed, and the flooding will wash away all traces."

"Give it to me."

Zhao Yiyi reached out her hand.

Turkey chuckled darkly.

He asked, "Do you have the heart to do it? Once the explosives go off, your boyfriend is done for."

Zhao Yiyi snatched the remote control from him.

She said, "Go back and tell Yin Sister that I will complete the mission."

Turkey sneered and said, "Yin Sister wanted me to remind you that the Fenglin Party doesn't keep freeloaders. If you can't do it, you know better than anyone what the consequences will be."

After speaking,

he kissed his palm and then blew Zhao Yiyi a kiss.

With a mischievous expression, he disappeared into the heavy rain.

Zhao Yiyi looked at the remote control in her hand.

Then she looked at Chen Fang, who was nearly collapsing from exhaustion on the dam.

She clenched her teeth hard.

At that moment, she had made up her mind!

"Damn it, I can't do this anymore. Working like this endlessly with so few hands, the result will be the same. Might as well take a break..."

It was three in the afternoon.

On the dam.

Eventually, someone couldn't take it anymore.

They threw the sandbag from their shoulder onto the ground.

And sat down with a thump, complaining somewhat.

Pessimism is the easiest emotion to spread.

Once one gave up, the others didn't want to continue either, and they all dropped their work and just sat in the pouring rain.

Indeed.

With only a hundred people for several tens of kilometers of dam, how could it possibly be enough?

"Comrades, hold on a little longer. The reinforcements from Shao Hua County will be back soon,"

Zou Changping, seeing this, began to encourage everyone.

The first person who sat down gave him a cold look.

He said, "County Chief Zou, is there any point in saying this now? The flood peak will be here in a few hours, and there's not even a shadow of help in sight. Are we from Gaokin County less valued by the higher-ups? Can't you see? They want to leave us to fend for ourselves. If Gaokin County floods, the counties below will be safe."

"Yeah, a bunch of bastards. Even if we die here on the dam, we can't stop this flood,"

The complaints grew even louder.

More and more people gave up their work and fell into despair together.

Just then,

a car sped from a distance.

It drove right up to the base of the dam.

A young man got out of the car, rushed up the dam, and came to Zou Changping, shouting, "County Chief Zou, news from the Meteorological and Hydrological Departments. The flood peak is coming sooner; it will hit Gaokin County in about half an hour."

"What?"

Zou Changping was stunned.

Both those still working and those who weren't were all frozen in place.

Half an hour?

Even if the people from Shao Hua County turned back to help now, it would be too late.

Chen Fang said nothing.

He hoisted the sandbag and hurried towards the dyke.

Actions often speak louder than words.

As a city leader, he had also remained with everyone throughout.

If he was still working, why should anyone else rest?

Seeing this, those who had been complaining also stood up and joined the final fight.

Half an hour passed quickly.

The water level on the river had visibly risen.

And the flow rate of the water had also increased.

Under such impact,

another half hour passed.

The water was about to overflow the dyke that had been raised by more than a meter.

Faced with this scene, Chen Fang knew that they wouldn't be able to hold on much longer.

Just as he was preparing to order everyone on the dyke to evacuate first, suddenly someone shouted, "The dyke has breached, the dyke has breached..."

Chen Fang shuddered.

He turned back sharply.

Indeed,

at one spot on the dyke,

the structure could no longer withstand the impact of the flood; it had washed the sandbags away.

The gushing floodwaters poured out violently.

Members of the Fenglin Party assault team tried to block it again with sandbags, but as soon as a sandbag was thrown down, it was swept away by the strong current, rendering it completely ineffective.

"A Chuan, jump into the water with me to form a human wall so the people behind us can stack the sandbags," Chen Fang shouted without a second thought.

Faced with Yu Zhengchuan, he called out.

The two men held hands and jumped into the breach.

The chief of public security, Shen Hu, seeing this, didn't hesitate to be the third one in.

The three of them were clearly still too few.

Other party members, moved by Chen Fang's lead-by-example spirit, also jumped in.

Quickly,

more than a dozen people, arm in arm, blocked the beastly floodwaters with their bodies while others, under Geng Tiancheng's direction, started piling sandbags behind the human wall.

Unfortunately, due to a shortage of manpower,

the sandbags were being stacked too slowly.

They simply couldn't effectively stop the floodwaters.

"It's no use, we don't have enough people; we must retreat!" Geng Tiancheng shouted to the people in the water upon seeing this.

Just when everyone was disheartened and thought they had to give up,

suddenly, from atop the dyke, Zou Changping shouted, "Reinforcements are coming, the reinforcements are here..."

Everyone turned to look.

Down the road below the dyke, some were riding motorcycles, others were driving tractors, and some were in big trucks, coming in a mighty procession.

The crowd was dressed in miscellaneous attire.

One could tell at a glance that they were common folk.

An old man stood up from a tractor.

Pointing at the dyke, he shouted, "Folks, let's hold the line..."

At his command,

countless locals surged forward.

There were easily several hundred people.

With so many more hands on deck,

a large number of sofas, one after another, were accumulated behind the crowd.

The not-so-large breach was blocked in the blink of an eye.

Those in the water were pulled up.

They were so exhausted that they couldn't even stand.

Chen Fang propped himself up on the ground and staggered to his feet, only to be surprised by the old man coming towards him, "Old man, how come it's you?"

The elderly man before him

was none other than Lv Honggui, whom he had rescued at the city management bureau that night.

Chen Fang then remembered.

Lv Honggui was from Gaokin County.

However, he was from Shatou Town, which was still quite a distance from the Longjiang dyke.
