Chapter 74 A body of flesh and blood, on par with gods!

"Come on! Charge on!"

One soldier after another fell down and stood up again. Those who had just helped others fell into the water again and were helped by others... This road that was so long that it seemed endless finally reached the end with everyone working together!
On both sides of the dam, two "human dragons" holding hands finally merged!
With the two soldiers at the forefront holding hands and standing shoulder to shoulder, this iron human wall finally blocked the gradually collapsing gap with their own flesh and blood in the face of this raging flood!
They really did it!
Seeing the human wall come together, the raging flood was stagnant, and there was a sudden cry of surprise in the live broadcast room!
"Oh my God! They actually used their flesh and blood to block this hole! Am I watching some sci-fi movie? Doesn't this kind of disaster require superheroes to use their super powers to stop it?"

"I never thought that I could actually see this scene in the real world! You know, the power of the flood is so strong that even the reinforced concrete dams can't withstand it and burst. How can they stop it with their own flesh and blood!"

"I dare not imagine how much horrible pressure they are under right now, but there is no doubt that these people are real heroes! They are not made up in literary works, they are heroes who have truly conquered death!"

"They created a miracle! In the face of this terrible flood, no one fell. Everyone helped and supported each other, and walked shoulder to shoulder to the gap! Are these people the Chinese troops? This is totally unimaginable here!"

This is the source of their greatest shock!

China's troops will actually stand up and help the Chinese people fight against natural disasters!

You know, in the culture of these self-proclaimed "developed" countries, "troops" have never been associated with "order"! If there really was a disaster that was going to destroy their homes, they would never believe that their own country's troops would be willing to risk their lives to protect their private property!
The reverse is almost the same!
If they encountered their own country's "troops" coming to "maintain order" during a natural disaster... these people would be considered a well-disciplined and good troop if they did not rob their remaining property!
Where have they seen such a scene? In the face of natural disasters, the officers and soldiers of the army used their flesh and blood to build the first line of defense for the people. Where have they seen such an army that regards the "people" as more important than "their own lives"?

Let alone seeing it, I'm afraid I can't even imagine it. Even in the most imaginative literary and artistic works, the depiction of the army in these works is full of darkness, bullying, oppression and other negative images, all the evils of this world.

They cannot understand what kind of image a force that is rooted in the people and serves the people can have!
Until now!

But what they saw was not over yet!
"No! I can't hold on like this!"

Lin Yan gritted his teeth and endured the flood, holding Su Qiang tightly, and shouted loudly:

"Boss Qiang, do you have any hands free to carry the sandbags?"

"Yanzi, you're asking even though you already know the answer! The flood here is so severe that no matter who we are, if we dare to let go, we will be washed away. How can we spare some hands to move sandbags?"

Not to mention Su Qiang, every soldier in the human wall, even the square-faced middle-aged man who was at the front line, was extremely serious!

They thought they had taken the flood seriously enough, but unexpectedly, when they tried to stop the flood themselves, they found that they had underestimated it!

The original idea was that the troops on both sides of the levee would come together to form a human wall to block the gap, and then use this human wall as a "passageway" to transport sandbags, rocks and other fillings to the gap and fill it completely.

However, the flood was too severe!
A human wall alone was not enough! The soldiers who were blocking the flood had to do their best just to stand still. They had to hold hands tightly and pull each other to ensure that they would not be washed away. In this situation, how could they have time to move sandbags!

Are we going to rely on a human wall to stop the flood? This is simply unrealistic! Even the strongest soldiers are still made of flesh and blood. They can't hold on for too long!

The audience in the live broadcast room also discovered this dilemma!
"Oh no, the flood is too fast, they can't move at all!"

"Conservatively speaking, we may need two or three more human walls to provide strong support from all sides before we can free up our hands!" "But where can we get so many people? Even if we fill in all the surrounding troops, we can only form one more human wall at most! And if they go down too, who can organize the defense on the shore? This won't solve the problem at all!"

"We need reinforcements! This situation cannot be solved by this single troop alone. We must have reinforcements before we can fight this 'battle'!"

"How can we be too late? Don't you see that the dam is starting to crack again? It's raining so hard, and by the time reinforcements arrive, it will be too late!"

"Then what do you say we should do? Apart from holding out and waiting for reinforcements, and praying that this section of the dam can hold, is there any other way at all? Or, do you expect those untrained volunteers, or even weak women like Martha, to go into the water and fill the line? Are you crazy or am I crazy?"

There was even a quarrel in the live broadcast room!

The middle-aged man naturally called for reinforcements and explained the critical situation here. The headquarters immediately said that they would mobilize troops to provide support at a full speed.

The death order they gave the middle-aged man was: "Until the reinforcements arrive, you must hold on no matter what! You must hold on even if it costs you your life! Just hold on for another 45 minutes! Just 45 minutes!"

If you can't even last 45 minutes, you don't have to come back!
Everyone heard the roar from headquarters!

But can we just hold on for 45 minutes?
Everyone in the live broadcast room was shaking their heads!
This kind of high-intensity confrontation consumes unimaginable amounts of physical energy! Anyone who can hold out for 10 minutes is considered an iron man, and anyone who can hold out for 30 minutes will even be considered a superman and taken to a paranormal research center for slices, let alone 45 minutes?

What's worse is that the dam behind the human wall is now full of cracks. Once the human wall can no longer withstand the evacuation, the entire dam may collapse at any time!

Of course, there is also a possibility that China is lucky and the dam only looks miserable from the outside, but it can actually hold out for a long time. This miraculous possibility also exists!
So, is China willing to bet on such a miracle?

Damn it if I'm willing!
"Brothers of the Chang'an City Army, there is another way!"

Just when everyone was getting anxious and panicked, a voice suddenly sounded in the rushing water:

That person was Lin Yan. At this most critical moment, he gave his countermeasures loudly without hesitation!

As soon as this countermeasure came out, all the audience in the live broadcast room were moved!

"We don't have the hands to move sandbags to block the gap, so don't think of us as people moving sandbags, just think of us as the road to the center of the gap!"

"Step on us! Bring everything over here! We must completely block this gap! We must not let this dam collapse! At least, we must hold on for 45 minutes!"
