Hearing Chen Siyang's words, everyone's mood started to turn serious.
Jiang Yao sighed. "It's all because of human selfishness. If a place has reached the point where it's necessary to open the floodgates, the relevant departments will naturally issue orders to divert the water away bit by bit."
If that was the case, an entire village wouldn't have been drowned.
At least, in Jiang Yao's memory, her village had never encountered such a situation. When the river rose sharply, everyone was afraid of flooding, so they moved to higher ground to stay in their relatives' houses. Otherwise, they would go to the caves in the mountains. Then, they would arrange for young and strong men to stay by the river and keep an eye on the situation at all times.
This was the Jiang Village that Jiang Yao remembered. It was very united. Back then, she was still very young. She hid in a cave in the mountains under the protection of her two brothers for a night. Fortunately, the rain stopped the next day, and the water level of the river dropped in the afternoon. That year, the entire village was just a false alarm.
Although the village didn't have much of a harvest that year, Jiang Yao still remembered the happy smile on their faces after surviving the disaster.
"Do you think the flood in Rong County is the same as the one in my hometown?" Chen Siyang said. "If it is, then it's really terrible. The number of people in a county is several times more than the number of people in a village. Those are all human lives."
"I don't think so. I heard that because of the weather, the government there has already done a lot of flood prevention measures. It's impossible for such a low-level and fatal mistake to happen," Jiang Yao said firmly.
As soon as she finished speaking, the host on the radio suddenly reported the latest news.
"We received news from the frontline that a soldier from the emergency rescue team in Ying County of Province C used his own body to shield a child from danger at a critical moment. Then, he fell into the flood and was washed away by the water. The flood was fierce and fast. In the blink of an eye, the soldier disappeared before everyone's eyes. No one knows where he was washed away."
At this point, the host's voice was choked with emotion. "I hope that everyone who heard the broadcast and is near Rong County can do your best to help find the whereabouts of this soldier who sacrificed himself to save a child. I sincerely pray that this soldier is safe and sound."
After the broadcast ended, the entire dormitory fell silent.
This news was undoubtedly very heavy. Even though none of them knew the warrior who was swept away by the water, all of them, like the host, were loyally hoping that the warrior was safe and sound. They loyally hoped that this was just a false alarm.
Ying County Rescue Team of Province C?
Jiang Yao didn't come back to her senses for a long time. She almost instinctively took out her phone to call Lu Xingzhi. When she heard that the phone was turned off, she remembered that Lu Xingzhi had said that phones had to be turned off during the selection period.
Wasn't Lu Xingzhi participating in the selection in Ying County of C Province?
C Province's Ying County Emergency Rescue Team. Could it be that they were referring to Lu Xingzhi and the other elite soldiers who were participating in the selection?
Jiang Yao asked, "Does anyone know that Rong County and Ying County are adjacent to each other?"
"They're separated by an entire county. They're not adjacent to each other." Lin Qiaoyu replied. After she finished speaking, everyone noticed that Jiang Yao's expression wasn't right. She hurriedly asked, "Jiang Yao, what's wrong?"
