The CEO's Wife Is Super Charming

Chapter 122: Chapter 121: Evacuation

The rain kept pouring harder, and the howling wind knocked incessantly on the car windows. In the rainy night, people’s hearts grew increasingly anxious.

"Report to the brigadier! The road ahead is under repair and will take at least half an hour!"

A middle-aged man by the riverbank listened to the news from the walkie-talkie. He was Brigadier James Marsh of the Special Forces, currently commanding at the riverbank.

This half-hour of repair, plus the time needed for evacuation, means the riverbank must hold for at least an hour!

In front of the riverbank, stacks of sandbags were being battered by the waves.

In the pitch-black and chaotic environment, only the sound of torrential rain and the wind could be heard, along with flickering flashlight beams.

Soldiers reinforcing the riverbank ran back and forth, some struggling to steady the sandbags, others busy with shovels, and some carrying sandbags to the riverbank.

The sound of their breathing was drowned by the rushing rain.

James Marsh didn’t have the luxury of thinking too much; the most important thing now was to keep the riverbank strong, to buy time for road repairs.

Shouting into the walkie-talkie, he ordered, "Wang Pan! Hurry up! We can’t let the water breach the riverbank. Strengthen the sandbags quickly! Buy more time for the evacuation!"

"Yes, sir!"

At that moment, a report came through the walkie-talkie from the road repair team.

The sound of the torrential rain mixed with anxious shouting was extremely noisy: "Brigadier, there’s a landslide on the road ahead. We’re clearing the path, but we’re short-handed. Requesting support!"

Standing in the heavy rain, James Marsh could hear the rain hitting his raincoat hood. He quickly pulled down the hood, wiped his face with his hand, and made a decision, shouting into the walkie-talkie, "Hannah Collins! Take your people and clear the landslide!"

Hannah Collins, carrying sandbags, immediately dropped them upon receiving the brigadier’s order. She raised her head to see the rain blurring her vision.

Everywhere, people in raincoats were moving sandbags. Her squad was already in disarray.

Seeing the squad leaders of Squad One and Two nearby, she could only shout, "Squad One and Squad Two! Follow me!"
