Chapter 287: Rainstorm, Flood Control and Disaster Relief
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Perhaps the heavens had heard everyone’s voices.
Before the car reached the Iron Bones Hero Regiment’s encampment, it started raining cats and dogs.
However, the heavens were obviously not obedient.
Everyone wanted it to rain tomorrow, but they didn’t want it to start raining now.
It wasn’t stopping either.
From the time Wang Ye and the others arrived at the Iron Bones Hero Regiments until the next day when they woke up, it was still raining outside.
“The rain better not stop later!”
During the weekend, the Fourth Company didn’t need to train. Everyone slept until 6:30 and quickly finished their chores. There was still a while before their meal. Wang Chang Dong and the other teaching teams couldn’t wait to come back and came to squad five.
It was still raining outside, and it had started to rain heavily since five or six o’clock, just like yesterday when everyone came back.
“If the rain stops now, I’ll curse. The training ground is full of mud. How can we hold a selection?” Jing Liang added.
Wang Ye listened to their words and looked at the rain outside the window. He smiled and said, “Who cares? Let’s play. It’s best if we play the next day. Then we can come back next week!”
“Haha, that’s good. Brother Wang, you don’t know how much our captain missed you after you left.”
“Look, our red flag is gone!”
Peng Yu Hang moved closer to Wang Ye and whispered.
He was probably the happiest person now that Wang Ye had returned.
The fifth squad had three recruits from the same year. Driving off was Zhang Wen Xue. His life was actually fairly good when Wang Ye was around. In reality, his life was deemed comfortable in comparison to the recruits in the other classes.
This was because when Wang Ye was in the class, the two first-class soldiers did not dare to put on airs as first-class soldiers at all. Not only to Wang Ye but even to Peng Yu Hang. They were afraid that Wang Ye would see them bullying him.
However, ever since Wang Ye joined the teaching team, his hard days had come.
The two bastards started to show off. In the situation where he was the only private left in the class, he had been the one on business trips in the class for nearly a month. He was also the one who stood in the most difficult position at night.
It was not an exaggeration to say that if the teaching team allowed him to go, his packing speed would probably break the record.
Those two bastards were too much of a bully.
Of course, he didn’t tell Wang Ye about this now, nor did he plan to.
Saying it wouldn’t change anything.
Wang Ye was leaving tomorrow.
He only hoped that Wang Ye could come back often to visit and slightly free him.
And this hope was actually not an extravagant hope.
This was because even if Wang Ye didn’t need to participate in the selection, he didn’t have to come back to train for the other individual martial arts competitions. However, he had to come back to train together for the group training events.
When Wang Ye heard his words, he smiled but didn’t say anything.
When he came back yesterday, he noticed that the red flag was not hanging in class.
However, he couldn’t say anything about this matter without him around.
The acting vice leader of Squad Five was Li Bing.
This fellow was a little careless to begin with, so it was expected that he would not be as meticulous as Wang Ye in terms of internal affairs.
One day later, Wang Ye’s words in the morning came true.
It had been raining for the entire day.
“This rain is really crazy!”
In Wu Jian Feng’s office, Wang Ye and the other three were called over at around two in the afternoon.
Wu Jian Feng complained about the rain outside and said to Wang Ye and the others, “I just called the teaching team.”
“They will give you another day off tomorrow. Don’t go back today.”
His words stunned Wang Ye and the others, but Wu Jian Feng continued, “The teaching team isn’t close by either. It takes three to four hours to go back and forth. Since we’re back, we have to finish our work.”
“Now that it’s a special situation, it’s better to let you guys decide on a candidate first!”
At this point, Wu Jian Feng could not help but complain, “There’s really nothing to play in the weather forecast next time. We can play some songs for everyone to listen to. It’s too ridiculous. 1 even paid special attention to it. It said that it would be cloudy and light rain today and that it would not affect the training.”
“Hehe, Captain, we don’t mind going back. We can come back next week!” Wang Chang Dong said with a smile.
Although the martial arts competition was important, there was no hurry.
Therefore, they were more than happy to come back and play a few more times.
“What are you thinking? Do you really think the teaching team is a hotel?” Wu Jian Feng scolded Wang Chang Dong.
After scolding them, he looked at the four of them and said, “Alright, that’s all. Go back now. I hope the weather forecast tomorrow is accurate!”
“What’s the weather tomorrow?”
Wang Ye subconsciously asked.
Wu Jian Feng looked over and casually said, “Light rain, cloudy!”
“Alright then!”
Wang Ye nodded.
The light rain turned cloudy. If the rain stopped fast enough, although the training ground would not dry up immediately, under the same conditions, everyone’s results would be slightly worse, but the training selection could still be carried out.
Immediately, Wang Ye returned to squad five.
Naturally, when the people of Squad Five heard that Wang Ye could stay in the Fourth Company for another day, other than Luo Yang and Wei Qing Hai, the others all laughed sincerely.
“Why is the rain getting heavier and heavier!”
At night, it was still raining outside, so the entire company rested in the dormitory after the news.
There were people playing poker and chess in squad five.
Wang Ye was also playing with them.
However, as he played and listened to the rain outside getting louder and louder, Wang Ye was a little annoyed.
He wasn’t worried that the rain wouldn’t stop tomorrow, but the sound of the rain outside was indeed a little scary.
It was much bigger than during the day and when he came back yesterday.
“It’s indeed getting bigger and bigger. What’s going on with the sky?”
Zhou Qi also threw down his cards and looked outside. Then, he stood up and walked towards the window.
“That’s right! It feels too heavy now. I’ve been a soldier in Xi Guang for four years, and this is the first time I’ve encountered such heavy rain!” Zhuo Zi Cheng added.
“Will there be a flood?” Peng Yu Hang added softly.
“Shut up, don’t jinx it. What flood? The rain will definitely stop soon!” This wasn’t Zhou Qi who said it, but Wei Qing Hai who was playing chess.
What a joke. A flood was what soldiers feared the most.
In times of peace, soldiers were generally not dangerous, but there were some exceptions.
During a great disaster, as a soldier, he would definitely be the first to go.
Under such circumstances, not to mention the losses caused by the disaster, for a soldier in the army, it was definitely the most dangerous and tiring time of their military life.
“It’s indeed not good. It’s raining so heavily. If it continues, there’s a high possibility of something happening!” Wang Ye had a serious expression. He was not afraid of Wei Qing Hai.
He was still the deputy of the fifth squad. He had a duty and Wei Qing Hai had to listen to him even though he was a first-class soldier.
Standing up, Wang Ye also walked to the window.
“I hope 1 can sleep well tonight, and I hope nothing bad will happen!” Luo Yang, who was playing chess with Wei Qing Hai, muttered. Then, he quickly looked at everyone and added, “Everyone, I’m not afraid of death. It’s just that if a disaster occurs, the country will definitely suffer losses. The people will definitely encounter danger and suffer losses. 1 just don’t want to see this scene!”
“No one wants to see that scene!” Zhou Qi turned around and said unhappily.
After saying that, he hesitated for a moment, but still looked at everyone and said, “Alright, stop playing. Get ready and write in your diary!”
After saying that, he looked at Wang Ye and said, “Wang Ye, maintain the dormitory discipline. 1’11 go downstairs to look for the company commander. The rain is too heavy!”
“Okay!” Wang Ye nodded with a serious expression.
Standing by the window, one could clearly see that the ground outside had already accumulated a thick layer of rainwater.
Now that the raindrops fell, the water on the ground splashed everywhere, creating huge splashes.
The rain was really too heavy.
“There’s no need to look for it. The higher-ups have given orders. Everyone, be vigilant tonight and be mentally prepared for flood control and rescue!”
At this moment, Zhou Qi had yet to reach the door, but Kang Hua appeared at the door.
After everyone stood up, he added, “Leader Zhou, I’ve heard your arrangements. Just do it like this. I’ll go to the next squad now.”
Kang Hua notified each squad one by one, and every squad he notified made everyone’s hearts sink.
The higher-ups had actually issued such a notice.
This rain wouldn’t really cause a disaster, right?
