Chapter 296 Prepare in advance
Chao Chao nodded unconsciously, "Yes, yes, saving our lives is the most important thing."

Her mind was in a mess. After He Nanzhou carried her out of the lounge, two people quickly came up to her.

Are these the two bodyguards from before?

When He Nanzhou explained the situation to them, their expressions changed instantly.

One of them left quickly, while the other made a phone call and then turned to He Nanzhou and the other person and said something.

"Mr. He, let's leave the airport first."

He Nanzhou nodded, picked up Chaochao, and followed behind the man. There was a car parked outside the airport. As soon as the two got in, the car drove away from the airport area.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, like buckets of water being poured down, and the bodyguards slowed down their car considerably.

The authorities have already arranged accommodations for Chaochao and He Nanzhou in a villa area at a high altitude.

This area is relatively quiet, and it's inhabited by people of high social standing.

The father and daughter arrived an hour later.

The rain has lessened a little now, but there's definitely no sign of it stopping.

He Nanzhou called Jian Yunsang to inquire about the rainfall in Jiangcheng.

Jiangcheng is not far from Wangcheng, where they are now. It has been raining for the past few days, otherwise they would not have had to make an emergency landing at Wangcheng Airport due to the heavy rainfall.

Now that Wangcheng is about to be flooded, what about Jiangcheng?

Unexpectedly, Jian Yunsang said, "It's not raining much in Jiangcheng now, just a little drizzle. I see the dark clouds in the distance have dispersed, and it seems like the sun will come out."

He Nanzhou breathed a slight sigh of relief, but still reminded Jian Yunsang, "If you don't have any classes in the afternoon, or if the rain doesn't seem right, go home early."

Jinfeng Villa is located on higher ground, so if Jiangcheng is flooded, it will generally be unaffected.

“I know, I don’t need to worry about my side.” Jian Yunsang’s tone was somewhat anxious. “But what about your side? Are you sure your current location is safe? What did A-Shan say about how long this heavy rain will last, and when will you be back?”

"Don't worry, we were informed in advance and have made thorough preparations. Everything will be fine."

The two exchanged a few more words. Jian Yunsang checked on Chaochao's condition and, seeing that the girl was in good spirits, felt somewhat relieved before hanging up the phone.

However, He Nanzhou was still a little worried. He asked Ashan, "Will there be floods in Jiangcheng?"

Ah Shan sighed and said helplessly, "My ability to foresee the situation is limited. Knowing about Wangcheng and the surrounding counties is already my limit."

He only has 100,000 energy right now. Want to know about Jiangcheng? Let's wait until he has a million energy.

He Nanzhou rubbed his temples, having no choice but to give up.

The people of Daqi, under the vast sky, were filled with worry.

Floods! Droughts in later generations have solutions, but what about floods? Floods are merciless. People who experienced them still feel terrified when they think back on them, as if they can still hear those tragic and pitiful cries for help.

Emperor Jingxuan couldn't help but feel nervous, wondering how later generations would deal with unstoppable natural disasters.

When a major natural disaster strikes, the mortality rate is very high, and post-disaster reconstruction is extremely difficult. Many people also profit from the national crisis. Every time a natural disaster occurs, a major epidemic follows, and large numbers of refugees leave their homes in search of a way to survive.

As for what happened later, A-Shan said that this was a once-in-a-lifetime torrential rain, and several surrounding counties would suffer as a result.

Even if they knew about this beforehand, how would they react? Emperor Jingxuan had no mind to deal with state affairs at this moment. Not only him, but all the civil and military officials were also anxious, looking at the sky in front of them.

This is the first time I've ever experienced the feeling of knowing in advance that a disaster is going to happen, yet having to watch it happen helplessly.

At this moment, He Nanzhou in the sky had turned on the TV, which was broadcasting the news. All the TV stations in the city had issued a red alert.

Moreover, all students who were in class and outdoor workers were given early leave to go home.

Many companies have also given employees a holiday, with only a small number of people who have to stay at their posts still working hard.

The entire city of Wangcheng seemed to be bustling with activity, and even watching it on television made Chaochao feel tense.

"Dad, there are so many cars coming outside." Chaochao kept glancing at the TV and then at the rain outside the window.

Then, through the second-floor window, I saw a number of cars driving by one after another in the distance, and they were all cars with high chassis.

He Nanzhou turned his gaze away from the television and walked over to Chaochao's side. Judging from the license plate numbers and models of the cars, he knew that those who had been brought over were important figures or their family members.

It's probably not just their neighborhood; other residents in lower-lying areas or on lower floors are likely preparing to evacuate.

With a government involved, the efficiency is indeed incredibly fast.

After He Nanzhou explained things to Chaochao, Chaochao breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Emperor Jingxuan frowned, "How many people can be evacuated in such a short time?"

“Yes,” said one of the ministers who had experienced natural disasters. “Especially those who own houses and land, they simply cannot bear to leave.”

Some elderly people are even stubborn, thinking that since a major flood is coming, they will lose their houses, fields, and property, so what's the use of keeping their lives? They might as well die together.

There are more than just one or two people like this, not to mention that the heavy rain has only been going on for a short time.

Could it be that they believed the government when they were told a flood was imminent?
It's not that easy.

But Chaochao believed He Nanzhou's words; if her father said there was no problem, then there must be no problem.

Just then, the bodyguard from before came in with the vegetables and fruits he had bought and went to the kitchen to cook for them.

Chaochao followed him, looking at him curiously.

"Uncle, you're amazing." Not only is he tall and strong and looks like he can fight, but he can also drive and cook. He's almost as good as her father.

The people of Daqi under the sky were speechless. So, it's common for men to cook in later generations, and He Nanzhou wasn't the only one?

If even someone who's like a guard can cook a feast, how are the others supposed to survive?
The rain outside really didn't stop for a moment. After finishing her meal, Chaochao felt sleepy and was urged by He Nanzhou to take a nap.

When Chaochao woke up, she found that there were several more cars in the villa area, and the once quiet community suddenly became lively.

The terrain here is high, so even though it's raining heavily, the water level isn't high, and some people are still walking outside.

The sky was quite dark, and looking at the time, it was only three or four in the afternoon.

Just then, A-Shan suddenly said in her mind, "Chao-Chao, a mudslide has occurred in the county town east of Wangshi."

Chaochao was startled. "Is it serious?"
