Chapter 77: Fate? We Chinese people have never believed in fate since ancient times!
"No way, again!?"

"Isn't this really a punishment from God for China? We finally managed to plug that hole, but the other side collapsed? No matter how shoddy the project is, there should be some sense! At least... at least hold on for a few more minutes until reinforcements arrive!"

"I remember that no one in China believes in religion. This must be God punishing these ignorant fools. Otherwise, how can we explain the current situation?"

"Oh my god, if you really believe in the loving and gentle Lord, you should shut up and pray for them now, instead of opening your mouth and bringing shame to the Lord!"

Not to mention the Chinese people present, even the audience in the live broadcast room couldn't help but start cursing!

This is not the end of it, is it? I just patched up one hole, and you're making another one?
This is simply... a team of troops trapped in an isolated city. They were exhausted and finally fought off the last invader. But before they could catch their breath and celebrate this hard-fought victory, they discovered another group of dark enemy troops coming outside the city wall!
"Yan, this...how could this happen?"

Martha, who had finally wiped away her tears, couldn't help crying again!

The new gap that suddenly collapsed was not as big as the previous one, only about 3 meters long.

But this hole has now become the "pressure relief gate" of the Orange River. The raging floodwater immediately rushed out of this hole like a shark smelling blood. The water pressure intensity and kinetic energy of the water are even higher than before.

You know, the embankment has not been completely reinforced yet! It has only temporarily blocked the previous hole with sandbags and other fillings, and all other reinforcement works have not been carried out yet!
This new gap made the gap that was filled with great difficulty useless! If this new gap cannot be quickly blocked, the entire dam is still in danger of collapse!
Lin Yan’s hand was on Martha.

"Martha, you retreat first."

Martha: “……!!”

Yan, what do you mean by this sentence?
Not to mention Martha, the audience in the live broadcast room were also stunned at this moment.

Whether it was Lin Yan or all the soldiers on the dike, the expressions on their faces seemed to be carved from the same mold, resolute and unyielding.

To be fair, this fighting spirit is indeed commendable. Facing a new danger, they did not complain, but once again prepared to fight a new battle.

They are indeed true warriors.

"But why do I always feel like something is wrong? The tone of the host's words just now was just like..."

"It was like he was leaving his last words! My grandfather had the same look in his eyes before he passed away! He told me to live well after I was settled, and that was the feeling! It's exactly the same look the host has when he looks at Martha now!"

"Damn it, they are not planning to do it again, are they? Impossible! There is no way they can withstand this new round of pressure! Unless they are really mutants with alien technology, otherwise, if they dare to go into the water this time, they will definitely be annihilated! There will be no exceptions!"

"Can we switch it up so that the soldiers who were standing on the upper side can form a human wall at the bottom, and the anchors can stand on the upper side and carry the sandbags?"

"It's a good idea, but it's also impossible! Do they look like they can still carry the sandbags now?"

"How about someone else? Aren't there a lot of volunteers here? How about letting them stand up there?"

"That's impossible! This kind of movement, where you can stand on your shoulders steadily without losing your balance, can't be practiced without years of special training! Just think about how long you can last on a single-plank bridge that's as wide as your feet, not to mention that you have to use a lot of strength to move things! It's impossible for ordinary people to do it!"

"So, then it's not really over?"

There is no doubt that the situation is worse now than before!
More than half of the warriors have burned out everything they have. Having already created a miracle once, they do not have the ability to create a second miracle in succession!

The flood is more turbulent than before, but the available force is less than half. Could the situation be worse than this?

can!
A rapid pager sound came from a middle-aged man with a square face!

"Commander! I am from the ** unit, and I have been ordered to come to support the Juzizhou Dam. However, when we were driving on National Highway 793, we found that there was already a landslide here due to the continuous heavy rain! We are now trying our best to bypass another route, but I am afraid we will be 30 minutes later than the scheduled time!"

"..."

There was only silence. The originally planned 45 minutes was already a miracle that they risked their lives to achieve.

Now, another 30 minutes?

What’s the difference between this and waiting to die?
The evil God has already torn his face and wants us to die. Do you still expect this dam to be so lucky and hold on by itself during the waiting period?

"Please... tell the headquarters. We will complete the mission to the death! We will not let down the people of our country and their expectations of us!"

The intercom was hung up.

A long sigh came out of the middle-aged man's mouth.

Then, there was an extremely calm voice.

"let's go."

No one speaks.

No one blamed God for being so cruel, no one cried out for how such a thing could happen to them, and no one uttered a word of begging for mercy for the fate they were about to face.

A new group of people came over, and the soldiers who were originally on the human wall began to tie life ropes around themselves, forming a united force. It was obvious what they wanted to do.

Even the middle-aged man himself had tied the lifeline.

Everything seemed like a replay of the previous scene, but the difference was that they roared to the sky at that time, full of lofty ambitions that my destiny is in my own hands, and they believed that their own hands were enough to change this tragedy.

But now, everyone knew what would happen next. Everyone knew that no miracle would happen again, but in order to buy time for reinforcements and give the millions of people in Chang'an another chance of survival, they had no choice.

“No, no, don’t do this… Yan… don’t do this…”

Martha couldn't bear it any longer!

She cried like a tearful person, hugged Lin Yan tightly, and burst into tears!
Why don't we run away? There are many mountains here, and there are many places to hide from water. We can definitely escape if we want to!

Why do you want to die? Even you know the result, why can't you choose a path that allows you to survive!

Do I have to die?
Whether you go into the water or not, there is a 20% to 30% chance that the dam can hold up until reinforcements arrive. But after you go into the water, you will definitely not survive!
Why is it like this, why...

Lin Yan patted Martha, signaling her not to worry.

"I won't die, Martha, I promise you."

Martha: “…”

She wiped her eyes and let go.

I believe you...

Lin Yan turned his gaze towards the medium-sized truck parked on the embankment.

He really didn't intend to die. Who would be willing to die when there is a chance to live?
But he had to take this gamble.

　Ahhh… Suddenly, I got a lot of recommendation tickets and monthly tickets. I can’t remember their names. I wish all the handsome guys and beautiful girls good fortune and success in everything! I kneel down to you! (Thank you!)
