Chapter Eighty-Seven: Hong Jun Arrived

  When Su Jian set foot on this wet land, it meant he had arrived at Lin Cheng. Lin Cheng was the forefront of flood control and also the place where the flood was most severe. In the previous seven days, the comfort team had been to several anti-flood front lines. But those front lines were different from here. If the entire flood control area is divided into ranges, the previous ones can be considered as inland areas of the flood control zone, while this one can be considered as the first line of defense against floods.

  In fact, many government officials did not want him to come here. After all, it's just a show, and that's enough. Why bother coming here at all? What if something really goes wrong, it won't be good for anyone. But Su Wei still insisted on coming, he thought that since he came, he should go to the place where help is most needed and most dangerous. If you're going to put on a show, you have to do the whole thing, otherwise, just staying in the rear would be no different from not coming at all.

  Of course, Su Jin was also very aware of the importance of safety. If something really happened to the students, he would be the first to bear the brunt. He wasn't someone who liked to take unnecessary risks, so he put most of the team members in the back and only selected one employee from Dream Technology, one teacher, and one student to form a small team as representatives of the comfort mission.

  Of course, Su Jin was the only student, and the teacher was the only one among the team leaders who knew Su Jin's identity - Teacher Li Bing!

  The streets of Lincheng are very chaotic, with debris and mud everywhere. It can be seen that the floodwaters had surged here before receding, leaving behind a trail of devastation.

  Li Bing stomped the mud off his feet and took a deep breath of the damp air, saying: "Xiao Jin, actually there's no need to come here. Overall, our goal has already been achieved, I don't think coming here has any more significance."

  Su Jin gazed at the distant dam, and despite the distance, he could still feel the surging flames of passion. He said softly, "From a practical perspective, it doesn't make sense. But I have to come here, because if I didn't, even I wouldn't be able to respect myself!"

  "What? What does it mean?" Li Bing looked at Su Jin in surprise.

  "I do not deny that my original intention for coming here was not pure, but when I truly set foot on this land, I could no longer control my emotions. I believe that in such a scenario, those who can still control their emotions are no longer human. When I saw those who had lost their homes and could only live in tents, when I saw those who couldn't even get a hot meal to drink, I truly felt that I should do something for them. People are not made of wood or plants, how can they be without feelings."

  We are all of the same root and ancestor. Since we have the ability and capital, why can't we help them? So I must come here, because only here can you truly see what the flood is like, and only here can you see what our anti-flood warriors are like. So I must come, I want to make myself remember this scene forever, because only in this way can I always have a heart of compassion, so that I can feel that I am a human being, not a monster with only profit in my heart.

  Li Bing looked at Su Jian in astonishment, seemingly unaware that he would say such a thing. Slowly, Li Bing's gaze showed a hint of appreciation, and similarly shifted his gaze to the distant dam, saying with some emotion: "Yes, if we hadn't come here, then our activity this time would have really become a show. In my opinion, what's most worth our attention in this flood relief battle isn't those disaster victims - of course, the disaster victims are naturally worthy of care - but these warriors fighting on the front lines of flood relief are even more worthy of our respect!

  It's not just you, this time all the classmates who came here with us have been deeply moved. It can be seen that their hearts are far from calm. This is a good thing for them, and I believe it will become a treasure for life.

  Just as they were talking, Wang Chao came over with a general who had a gold star on his shoulder. Wang Chao was the person in charge of receiving the comfort mission team.

  "Wang Gong, Teacher Li, Student Su, this is General Liu Yimin from the flood control front command. General Liu, this is Wang Gong from Dream Technology Company and also Li Bing teacher and Su Jin student from the flood relief condolence team." Wang Chao introduced with a respectful face color, it was clear that General Liu was someone he truly respected in his heart.

  "General Liu is great! General Liu has worked hard!" The three of them said in unison.

  "Crack!" Liu Yimin gave a standard military salute, and a hint of a smile appeared on his serious and tired face. "I represent all the soldiers on the front line against the flood to thank you for your arrival."

  Liu Yimin didn't say much, his words and actions were full of a soldier's conciseness. After exchanging a few pleasantries, Liu Yimin led several people towards the dam. Su Zhen followed behind, looking at Liu Yimin's figure walking in front, a puzzled look appeared in his eyes, he didn't know why, but the name Liu Yimin gave him a strange sense of familiarity. It seemed like he had heard it somewhere before, but he was certain that this was their first meeting, so where had he heard it? Su Zhen couldn't figure it out.

  "This is Kou Caifei, he is the most hardworking warrior here every day. The night before last, he reinforced the dam overnight and carried 200 sandbags by himself!"

  "Ah, Comrade Kou is well, Comrade Kou has worked hard!"

  "This is Si Bao Da, he was on the front line fighting against the flood for two consecutive days without sleep during the last sudden flood!"

  "Ah, Comrade Sai is great, Comrade Sai has worked hard!"

  "This is Xia Xingxian, he was a comrade-in-arms of Cui Pengcheng. Comrade Cui Pengcheng sacrificed himself at the dam during the last battle..." Liu Yimin's eyes became slightly red as he mentioned Cui Pengcheng.

  ……

  Liu Yimin introduced one by one the heroes of this anti-flood battlefield to Su Zhen. He didn't prepare, and it's clear that he didn't need any preparation. The facts are already deeply etched in his mind, deeply etched in his bones. Su Zhen believes that for the rest of his life, he will never forget.

  Su Jin and the three others, following Liu Yimin's introduction, shook hands with one soldier after another, repeating the same words in their mouths. The scene seemed somewhat comical, but no one could laugh. It wasn't that Su Jin wanted to be like this, it was just that at this time, apart from saying such a simple sentence, Su Jin really didn't know what else he could say.

  Looking at the silly, sincere and even foolish smiles in front of him, Su Jin suddenly felt a sense of guilt. At this moment, he felt that he was so ugly, shameless and despicable. He felt that standing with these people made him feel so insignificant.

  "Red alert, red alert! Wu County 124 Levee sudden flood! Wu County 124 Levee sudden flood!"

  "Red alert, red alert! Wu County 124 Levee sudden flood! Wu County 124 Levee sudden flood!"

  Just as Su Jin's mind was sinking into unprecedented self-blame, a shrill warning sound came through.
