Chapter 210 Postponing Homecoming
The next morning, Lin Xi and Lin Dayuan woke up to the sounds of rescue and cries for help.
Looking down, one can see assault boats arriving from all directions, carrying out emergency rescue operations.
Just then, a man's voice came from the loudspeaker, "People on the roof, don't be afraid! We're here to rescue you!"
"Parent on the roof, please take your child down to the second floor! We will rescue you!"
Lin Xi turned to look at Lin Dayuan, "Dad, it seems like he's calling us."
As the speedboat drew closer, someone asked, "Xiao Xi, shall we get off?"
Lin Xi looked at the overcrowded assault boats and said, "Forget it, let's not cause them any more trouble."
The man on the speedboat stared wide-eyed in disbelief as he watched the two raincoats and cloaks fly towards the horizon, dropping the megaphone in his hand. "You, you saw that?"
The crowd behind him was still in shock and didn't notice anything, but his companion, who was piloting the assault boat, turned around and looked at him with a puzzled expression. "What did you see?"
"Those two people downstairs...flew away!"
"How could that be? You must be seeing things!"
"Really! I saw it with my own eyes!"
The man looked up at the tall rooftop and said, "From this distance, you probably mistook a bird for a person."
"No! It really is a person! A person with arms and legs! I've always had good eyesight, I couldn't possibly be mistaken!" His voice was incredibly anxious, why wouldn't you believe him?
"Alright, alright, I know you have good eyesight, but you've been working all night and you're so tired, it's possible you've made a mistake. Let's go look somewhere else..."
The man didn't say anything more, but he was convinced that he hadn't misjudged the situation.
Who are they? Do they have special abilities? ...
Lin Xi and Lin Dayuan planned to return and fly to Yungang City; their car was still parked there.
Soon, they saw a convoy of supplies, moving slowly and laboriously forward.
The once flat and wide road has now been ravaged by the flood and is now unrecognizable, carrying large amounts of mud, sand and debris.
The rescue vehicles emitted a constant, muffled roar, kicking up large clouds of murky mud with each turn of their wheels.
The main problem is that not far ahead, huge concrete blocks and twisted steel bars are blocking the road, and trees are scattered everywhere, making it impossible for vehicles to pass.
Lin Xi and Lin Dayuan could not turn a blind eye.
This might seem difficult for others, but for the two of them, it was really not a problem.
After drinking two drops of Dali spinach juice, the two transformed into road cleaners, cleaning up as they went.
The vehicles behind slowly caught up.
The lead driver looked ahead and saw two people, one big and one small, carrying mud to clear the road, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart.
He said to the person in the passenger seat, "Look, there's never a shortage of people like us in this world. Even such a small child is getting involved. Why don't you get down and help out, and say thank you to them while you're at it?"
No sooner had he finished speaking than the tall figure kicked a rock half his height to the side of the road, then picked up a thick tree and casually tossed it into the ruins.
That graceful movement was like throwing a foam prop.
The stones and the large tree made a loud clattering sound, proving their weight.
The young man in the passenger seat stared wide-eyed. "Dude, is this a human crane?"
The driver was also incredibly surprised. "Alright, there are plenty of capable people in this world. Go down and help!"
Just as the young man was about to get off the bus, he saw the short, thin figure swing his small arm and throw the steel bars in his hand far away. The bundle of steel bars was ten meters long and had huge stones attached to it.
It must weigh at least 100 pounds.
The young man and the driver both swallowed hard. "Brother, do you... need me to go down and help?"
"Well, go ahead, you just... just move some stones and thank them properly. Never mind, I'll go with you."
He took out his walkie-talkie and said, "Comrades, there are people helping us clear the road ahead. I'm going down to thank them."
The driver and the young man got out of the car. "Hello, we are from the rescue team. Thank you for your help."
Lin Dayuan turned around and said, "You're welcome. It's our pleasure. We don't have any special skills, but we are naturally strong. We can help you deliver the supplies as quickly as possible so that the people in the disaster area can suffer less."
Although his words were official, they reflected his true feelings.
"Your strength is incredible! This is the first time I've ever seen someone kick a stone weighing over a hundred pounds. Your child has also opened my eyes. In short, I'm really grateful to you both this time. If it weren't for you two, we don't know how long it would have taken us to get through this."
He patted the young man on the shoulder and said, "This is my younger brother. He's not very strong, but he can move small stones and things like that. He'll stay here to help. Time is of the essence, so I'm going back to get my car."
Lin Dayuan refused, saying, "The two of us are enough. Let him go back. I'm afraid he'll get hurt."
Young man: I'm already hurt...
The driver thought about it and realized that the child could knock his younger brother unconscious with just a piece of steel he threw.
"Okay, then... then we won't trouble you any further."
The two got into the car, which continued to struggle forward through the mud.
Lin Xi and Lin Dayuan quickly cleaned up the road and were about to leave when the enthusiastic driver called them into his car, while the young man was ushered into another vehicle.
Lin Xi was actually quite anxious to get home, but fearing that the vehicle might encounter some obstacles ahead, she decided to do a good deed and escort them across.
The driver was cheerful and talkative, praising the two men's superhuman strength and explaining why he had come here.
It turns out they were all ordinary people; the supplies were collected from various sources, the car was borrowed, and the drivers were a self-organized group.
Just because I've suffered the same pain, I want to hold an umbrella for others.
Lin Xi and Lin Dayuan felt the same way; there has never been a shortage of passionate people in this world.
After talking for a while, the driver realized that the two men hadn't eaten in a long time, so he hurriedly took out a bag from behind him containing bread and water.
Lin Xi and the other person hadn't eaten or drunk anything since last night. After taking off their masks and thanking him, they began to eat heartily.
The driver was surprised to find that Lin Xi was a little girl.
It seems his family is truly blessed with superhuman strength.
We encountered many obstacles along the way, but fortunately, with Lin Xi and Lin Dayuan by our side, none of them were problems.
After escorting them to their destination, the two men looked at the truck full of supplies and a few scattered drivers, and then began to help unload the goods.
After moving the items, they saw that there was a severe shortage of manpower and started helping to distribute supplies.
After distributing supplies, they started rescuing people with the rescue team...
The two, who had originally planned to return today, were busy until midnight.
Lin Xi lay in the tent. "Dad, let's go back later."
Lin Dayuan nodded, "Okay."
That day they gained a deeper understanding of the severity of the disaster situation in the area.
Despite their best efforts to save lives, people still perished in the floods—the elderly, children, and other people's wives and husbands.
Even though it was already past midnight, suppressed sobbing could still be heard all around.
