At 5:27 PM, Deputy Mayor Shen, in his capacity as the first secretary of the Linghai Reserve Camp, issued his first order since leading the team to support Beihu's flood relief efforts.
Han Yu, Director Ge, Master Xu, Zou Xiangyu, Sun Youyi, Yang Jianbo, Gu Pengfei, Zhang Wuya, Liang Xiaoyu, and thirty-seven other comrades were ordered to imdiately go to the camp to eat, shower, and rest. Anyone who failed to comply would be escorted away by the Inspection Team!
The forthcoming onshore ergency operations would be directed by Hao Qiusheng.
Waterborne ergency operations, materials transit, navigation, and mooring safety would be fully commanded by Chief Officer Liu Wei of the Linghai Port Tug Team.
Logistics, including the receiving, allocation, and procurent of ergency materials, would be managed by Vice Minister Li of the Linghai Ard Forces Departnt and Camp Secretary Qiu Xuequan. Coordination and communication with local governnt departnts would be directly overseen by himself as the first secretary.
Tens of thousands of people were waiting to return ho, and no one wanted to drop out at this critical mont, but Deputy Mayor Shen's reason for urging everyone to rest was compelling.
First, the remaining two short sections of the intact levee had been reinforced.
Moreover, the inside junction of the cofferdam and dry levee had been buttressed with over three thousand cubic ters of soil.
Additionally, although the cofferdam was hastily repaired, the soil volu was large, making the overall structure relatively stable; the dam was sturdy due to its thickness, with no signs of seepage detected so far. Additionally, during the breach, the basin had water; when floodwaters poured in, they did not cause a significant impact on the cofferdam, nor would they in the future.
Furthermore, completely safeguarding the current ergency would require at least another twenty-one hours, and if everyone persists here without splitting into primary and secondary shifts according to the plan, they'd risk exhaustion or collapse, hindering the ongoing ergency response.
Initially, Han Yu wasn't very tired, probably due to the overwhelming pressure, tension, and excitent.
Upon hearing Deputy Mayor Shen's remarks, he suddenly realized how utterly exhausted he was and imdiately complied with the order, recognizing its rationale.
All he wanted now was to sleep.
Upon reaching the camp, he took a shower and changed into clothes washed and dried by his sister-in-law. He neglected to eat or wash his dirty clothes, instead slipping into a tent pitched by the logistics support staff earlier that morning.
The tent was sweltering, and with the mosquito net set up, it felt even hotter.
Zhang Erxiao, considering the heat, bought everyone a small fan to hang inside the mosquito net, connecting it to a power source, and it buzzed away.
The breeze wasn't strong, but the difference between having it and not having it was significant.
Han Yu closed his eyes, yawned, nearly asleep, when he suddenly heard Xiao Yu's voice nearby.
"Salted Fish, where's your phone?"
"I didn't take your phone; why ask ?" Han Yu turned over, too tired to even look at him.
Xiao Yu couldn't sleep, wearing a distressed expression and asked, "You don't know?"
"Know what?" Han Yu responded, lethargically.
"My phone was confiscated by the inspection team, particularly by Master Dai from the 132nd Regint!"
"Oh."
"Don't just 'oh'; help out, ask him to return my phone."
"Why did he take your phone?"
"He said you can't carry phones during tasks; we have to adhere to confidentiality protocols."
Half asleep, Han Yu mumbled indifferently, "Makes sense."
Xiao Yu, frustrated, shoved him and said, "Salted Fish, lend your phone to make a call."
Han Yu suddenly felt less tired, opened his eyes, and asked, "Who are you calling?"
"Just had dinner, Commander Wu of the 132nd Regint ntioned many troops have co for flood relief; I want to call to check if Brother Haoran is here."
"Whether he's here or not, what does that have to do with you? It's not an important call, not lending."
"I'm missing Little Crocodile, I want to call my dad and mom."
"You worried about them?"
"The flood hit Hanwu too; do you think I shouldn't be worried?"
"Only worried now? Where was this concern earlier?" Han Yu sneered at him, yawning, "No need to worry; Yu Zhen already had your dad and mom take Little Crocodile back. Yesterday morning, they flew to East Sea and returned to Linghai by car, reaching ho at 9:30 last night."
Xiao Yu gasped and asked, "Why didn't I know!"
"Yu Zhen couldn't reach your phone, so she called mine. I was swamped, said a few words, and hung up. Got even busier later, so didn't inform you."
"Good they're back, less worry for ."
"Alright, back to sleep, let catch so shuteye; I'm truly worn out."
"Wait, I still want to call Brother Chen."
"Which Brother Chen?"
"Chen Zikun, he's at our school for training, but just before graduation, the big flood hit. Principal Zhuo said the Changhang Police Bureau organized those training cadres to help flood relief. I don't know where he's stationed or how he's doing."
Director Qi and Director Yang sending Chen Zikun to the Changhang Police Academy for training was recognition of him; it was foreseeable that after training, he'd remove the 'acting' title and officially beco the Director of the Linghai Police Station.
Considering Chen Zikun was his supervisor, Han Yu felt he should show concern, so he simply handed over his phone.
Xiao Yu was overjoyed, chuckling, "Thanks."
"Make it quick..."
"Alright."
With a good mory, Xiao Yu recalled the key contacts' numbers.
He quickly dialed Chen Zikun's mobile, and imdiately upon connecting, asked excitedly, "Brother Chen, it's Xiao Yu, where are you doing flood relief?"
Chen Zikun was dozing on a riverbank in Hanwu; seeing the caller ID, he assud it was Salted Fish, but to his surprise, it was Xiao Yu. He sat up, saying, "I'm in Hanwu, aiding flood relief with the brothers from Hanwu Branch."
