Chapter 297 The Great Qi Dynasty: How Many Perished?

Ah Shan said, "We gave the specific location before, so the people there have already been relocated, but some houses and land are beyond our control."

Chaochao was somewhat saddened. The losses caused by natural disasters are incalculable, but it's fortunate that no one was hurt.

He Nanzhou poured her some milk and snacks. Knowing that the girl might be feeling a little down, he didn't say anything and just quietly stayed with her.

The news was also being broadcast on television, so Chaochao couldn't go out and could only watch TV.

The scene was chaotic. The moment the mudslide came down was captured on video, and Chaochao was terrified when she saw it.

Even the people of Daqi, watching from below the sky, gasped in horror, especially after the mudslide, carrying branches and rocks, swept down, scattering carts and houses, and pushing and shoving their way down. How desperate must the owners of those carts and houses have felt?

Emperor Jingxuan pursed his lips, trying to find people in those houses. He only felt relieved when he couldn't find them.

Even though this was a natural disaster that occurred in later generations, he still felt a heavy weight in his heart as he looked at it.

The news quickly switched to the other side, showing the scene inside Wangcheng.

The city's subway has been shut down, the high-speed rail and airport have been closed, flights have been canceled, many shops have closed, and all streets have entered a state of high alert.

The water on the road was getting deeper and deeper. Many of the cars that couldn't leave in time were stopped in the middle of the road. Someone was standing on the roof of his car, holding an umbrella and asking for help. But the wind was too strong and the umbrella was blown away. He was also pulled down onto the roof of the car, rolled around, and rolled directly into the water.

Chaochao exclaimed in surprise. Just as she was getting anxious, she saw a person in camouflage wading through the water and grab him.

Immediately, a lifeboat pulled up beside them, and the people on board pulled the two of them aboard.

Soon, the lifeboat gradually moved away, heading towards the next person in need of rescue.

Chao Chao breathed a sigh of relief, and He Nanzhou smiled to reassure her, "Don't worry, rescue teams have been prepared in various places, so the situation will definitely be much better."

The news then shifted to another scene: a group of people, hand in hand, stood in the rushing water, trying to stop someone who was being swept away and unable to stand. Ultimately, working together, they helped the person to their feet and carefully carried them out of the flooded area.

The next scene shows a soldier holding a sleeping baby with its eyes closed, a raincoat covering the child, his hands supporting the baby as he carries the baby to safety.

The next scene shows the crowd standing on the steps throwing ropes to the rescuers with all their might.

In the next scene, they help elderly people onto their backs and have them board the truck one by one.

The next scene shows a group of soldiers wearing life jackets standing in the water, with their leader shouting through the rain, "We have 100,000 people behind us. Whether we can seal this breach directly affects the lives and property of tens of thousands of people. I hope our assault company will complete this mission without fail. Do you have the confidence?"

"Yes!" The resounding voice drowned out the torrential rain and the sound of rushing water. As soon as the voice fell, they wiped their faces hard, bent over and carried the sacks, their movements quick and decisive, never daring to stop for a moment.

For some reason, Chaochao's eyes welled up with tears. She even wished she could be one of them and contribute her own strength.

Ah Shan said in her mind, "Chao Chao, you have already contributed the most. You forgot that you foresaw the danger in advance, which allowed the government to prepare and reduced the losses significantly."

Chaochao pursed her lips and gave a soft "hmm". The news then switched to residential buildings, riverbanks, suburbs, hospitals, train stations, and other places.

Chaochao saw many people, many soldiers and volunteers, who were united and determined to do everything they could to overcome this natural disaster.

The people of Daqi were also moved. "Our descendants are really united. And look at these soldiers. They are using their bodies to block the river. If you're not careful, you will be swept away."

"Natural disasters are merciless, but humanity is full of love. I almost cried when I saw this."

"I hope this disaster will pass quickly. I'm easily moved to tears and can't bear to see this."

"Actually, what I'm most worried about is the post-disaster situation."

At this moment, the Great Extinction under the sky was also very quiet, and many people were even praying silently there.

The heavy rain continued until midnight, when it finally subsided and turned into a light drizzle.

The rain finally stopped the next day. Although the weather was still a bit foggy, Ah Shan said that the heavy rain was over and that if it rained again, it would only be a light drizzle.

By the afternoon, the weather began to clear up.

According to the news, the water level is slowly receding, and professional personnel are being deployed to carry out emergency repairs on the two collapsed reservoirs, including digging spillways to lower the water level.

However, since transportation has not yet resumed, He Nanzhou has already informed the kindergarten in advance that, for safety reasons, it is better to wait until transportation here is fully restored before setting off.

Now that the rain has stopped, the two of them left the villa and took a walk in the neighborhood.

In the evening, the Wangshi government held a press conference to explain the flood situation and disaster relief efforts.

Chaochao looked at the person sitting there speaking in surprise and asked He Nanzhou curiously, "Who are these people?"

“They are officials from the Wangcheng Municipal Government.” He Nanzhou knew that people from Daqi were also watching, so he kept it simple. Otherwise, some modern titles might not have been able to match up in ancient times.

Then, Chaochao heard the uncle sitting in the middle say, "...Good afternoon, everyone. The following is a report on the latest progress of flood control and disaster relief work in our province. Some areas in our province, such as Wangshi, have experienced heavy rain and torrential rain, with the maximum rainfall recorded in Yangtou...The cumulative rainfall..."

"As of 12:00 on May 9, according to preliminary statistics, this round of heavy rainfall has affected a total of 12 million people in 130 counties and cities across the province. Three people have died as a result of the disaster, and there are still missing persons under further investigation. At present, 1.5 million people have been urgently relocated and resettled across the province."

Chao Chao swallowed hard, and the people under the sky were even more stunned.

They counted on their fingers, "How many? How many people were affected? Twelve million people!"

Emperor Jingxuan stared in astonishment at the officials present. "Three people...dead? How is that possible?"

With such heavy rain, such raging mudslides, such a wide affected area, and so many people involved, how could only three people have died?
Even with advance warning, it's unlikely that such high efficiency could be achieved.

An official whispered, "Didn't they say there were still missing persons being investigated? There's a high probability that those missing persons also perished."
