Chapter 82: Chinese speed, the true function of the Great Wall of Steel!
Soldiers lined up in full gear! Doctors arrived exhausted! There were also mountains of relief supplies, blood banks, volunteers...
All these people and materials have already arrived in Chang'an City! ?
After reading row after row of news, Martha was just stunned!
"W-What's going on? Yan, why did the situation become like this after just one night?"
Clearly, there was a shortage of doctors before, forcing Director Wu to drive a speedboat to save people everywhere. Why did the top medical teams from dozens of cities come together overnight and take charge of various places, so that there would no longer be a shortage of medical care?
Clearly, there was a shortage of blood banks before, forcing everyone in the stadium to donate blood. Why did blood banks from dozens of cities come to support overnight, and some cities even donated blood overnight, it was like an "overdose of treatment", and the list of blood banks that provided assistance was so long that Martha was a little scared!
Obviously, there was a shortage of manpower before, forcing the Orange River embankment to sacrifice lives to plug the hole. Why was it that after one night, there were so many soldiers everywhere, and their figures helping with disaster relief could be seen everywhere in Chang'an City?
How could such a big change happen in just one night! ?
It seemed as if all the problems that had troubled this city overnight were no longer a problem overnight!
The people in the live broadcast room were also stunned!
"So many people and supplies? Is this a magic trick? How can there be so many?"
"I saw on the news that they were transported from various places, but what mode of transportation is so fast? Aren't all the airports closed?"
"Could it be the high-speed rail? China's nationwide high-speed rail network has such a miraculous effect!"
"Wait a minute! Is this a speed issue? Chang'an City was the one hit by the disaster, so why are other places so proactive? They are contributing people, labor, and even donating supplies. This is obviously not right, right?!"
"Indeed, at a time like this, shouldn't we just stand by and watch, or even gloat over the misfortune? I can't say about the distant future, but if Manchester City suffered a disaster and our city was fine, I would definitely laugh at them!"
"??? If you have the guts, stop talking nonsense online and practice offline?"
"Can you please not escalate your historical grudges to this kind of natural disaster?"
"But even if there is no hatred... would you be willing to help other places? This is not just lip service, we really need to contribute money and effort."
They are all going numb now!
How many times has this happened?
When the Chinese anchor "endured the humiliation" and took care of the tantrum boy, they thought it was just an isolated case. China is a country with low morals, and it is shocking to have one such saint who sacrifices himself for others.
When a rainstorm suddenly hit and many people were trapped on the roof of a bus, and dozens of people rushed to rescue them from all directions, they still thought it was just an isolated case. Although China has low morals, it has a large population after all. Once the base number is increased, some people with high morals can still understand it.
Later, in the stadium, thousands of people lined up to donate blood, risking their own blood being drawn and fainting, just to save an elderly man they didn't know. At this time, they were still able to convince themselves that they were exceptions. After all, people are always ashamed to show their "immoral" side. Considering the low probability of blood type matching, this risk is still acceptable compared to being criticized by thousands of people!
However, the bloody human wall formed by the soldiers on the dike, the scramble of trucks to block the entrance, and the reports and pictures being reported by the Chinese media...
Is this still an isolated case?
Are there so many individual cases?
Could it be possible that in the vast land of China, the idea that "human nature is selfish" that they believe is reasonable is a rare exception in this land?
Otherwise, how to explain these news!
It's been less than a day! Chang'an City was short of manpower, and overwhelming manpower came to support it! Chang'an City was short of blood, and blood was sent over overnight! Not to mention the food, water, and tents that are urgently needed for disaster relief... No matter how fast the high-speed rail is, it can't be faster than the surprisingly consistent determination of officials and the public in various places to "rescue Chang'an City"! They didn't hesitate at all. It was obviously none of their business, but they supported Chang'an City with everything they could at the first time! If they had held a meeting to discuss for a few days like we did, in this case, no matter how fast the high-speed rail was, it would be useless!
what is the problem?
Why do I feel like crying just by seeing these words and simple pictures, and watching them come to support this disaster-stricken city as if it were a matter of course?
Lin Yan smiled at Martha at this time.
"Now you know why we feel relieved by the arrival of reinforcements from the Ganxi District."
"It's not because the comrades in Ganxi District are so strong, but since they are here, it means that more and more support will also come at the same time."
"When one side is in trouble, all sides will come to its aid. Facing this rainstorm disaster that is rare even on Blue Planet, Chang'an City alone cannot cope with it."
“But once you have support, it’s different.”
"On the dam, one person can't save it. So many of us united together and finally defeated it. In the same way, facing this rare rain disaster on Blue Planet, we can't win with the strength of Chang'an City alone. So we need more united strength from other cities to finally defeat this rain disaster!"
The live broadcast room was shaken again!
"Are you serious? Anchor, are you really saying this seriously? Are you not kidding us?"
"Do you Chinese really intend to overcome this natural disaster? God, I mean, in the face of this natural disaster, you don't intend to run away, you don't intend to pray, but really intend to overcome this disaster with your own hands?"
"…If you had said this a few hours ago, I would definitely not have believed it! But now after seeing you guys on the embankment, I… can’t say anything."
They simply couldn't describe in words how touched they were!
When faced with disasters, we should not choose to escape, but meet them head-on, and overcome them with our own hands and the power of unity?
How is this possible? This is not a science fiction story. How can man defeat heaven? When heaven brought down His wrath and wanted to flatten everything on earth with a flood, man could only rely on His mercy and use an ark to carry His mercy on life!
Only such devout believers are allowed to be saved from His wrath!
But these Chinese people!
They never planned to escape!
Faced with the crisis that half of Chang'an City might be destroyed, their choice was not to urgently evacuate the people in half of the city, but to use their own flesh and blood to build a city wall, blocking the wrath from heaven on behalf of millions of compatriots!
The rain disaster was rare in the entire blue planet, twice as large as the world-destroying flood in the past. In the face of such a devastating disaster, a whole day passed in Chang'an City, and there was not even a single report of death!
Is this a miracle?
But China never believes in miracles!
Even if it happens again, the Orange River dam will still stand tall, and everyone in the stadium will still donate blood to help elderly Hou Anning... The fate of China has always been in the hands of its own people. No matter how many times it happens, they will always firmly say "screw you" to fate.
If the power of one person is not enough to rewrite fate, then ten people, hundreds of people, thousands of people! At this moment, there are no "Lin Yan", "Su Qiang", "Li Yuanzhao" and other individuals, but only the "Chinese nation" that is united in purpose.
At this moment, everyone in the live broadcast room seemed to have a strange feeling.
Even if there really is another world-destroying flood, even if the entire blue planet is about to be completely submerged by water again, and all civilizations will face a catastrophe - I am afraid that there will be a nation called "Huaxia" who, after the flood recedes, will once again use their own hands to rebuild this country called "Huaxia"!
Only they, no matter what kind of natural disaster, cannot completely defeat them!
