Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group Chapter 575: 549 Hope

Chapter 575: Chapter 549 Hope

“Is our assault boat still unable to go through now?”

“Yes, we’ve tried it. After traveling one kiloter, they all capsized.” The secretary sighed.

“Can’t we airdrop supplies with aircraft?”

“We have already tried, but the visibility is too low, and most of the supplies we airdropped were washed away by the floodwater.”

Lu Ran’s face completely sank.

The current situation is very disadvantageous for the rescue efforts.

The people have been surrounded for three days, and without supply, their lives are at risk at any mont.

Although there are many rescue team mbers onshore, everyone is sighing at the flood, helpless.

The disaster relief has now reached an impasse.

On one hand is the safety of the people, and on the other is the inability to deliver rescue supplies.

Just at this mont, Ye Chen arrived with fifty students.

“Seeing these students, Lu Ran frowned.”

“Is this a joke? Haven’t we had enough chaos? What’s the use of these students coming here?”

At this ti, Ye Chen approached Lu Ran.

“Commander Lu, I am Ye Chen, the principal of Star University.”

Hearing Ye Chen’s na, Lu Ran was taken aback.

Star University has recently been very popular in Hua Country, and of course, he had heard of the school.

Ye Chen continued, “I brought fifty students from our school with equipnt specifically to join the disaster relief. I heard that the rescue supplies couldn’t be sent over, but we can.”

Lu Ran looked at Ye Chen skeptically and said, “With such strong winds and waves, even our soldiers can’t go over. What ans do you have?”

Ye Chen said, “We brought equipnt.”

Saying so, Ye Chen took out the Water Walking Device from his backpack and put it on his feet.

The Water Walking Device, from the outside, looked just like a pair of ordinary shoes.

After putting them on, Ye Chen walked straight toward the floodwater.

“Dangerous.” Lu Ran tried to hold Ye Chen back but couldn’t, and Ye Chen walked into the flood.

Now, the water was very turbulent, and the waves were huge.

Ye Chen stood on the water surface as if standing on flat ground, surprisingly not sinking.

“This, how is this possible?”

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Many reporters on-site directly pointed their caras at Ye Chen.

Ye Chen said to Lu Ran, “All fifty of our students are equipped like . We can deliver all the supplies to the hands of the villagers.”

Seeing Ye Chen standing on the water, Lu Ran’s emotions surged.

What they needed now was to deliver the supplies.

As long as they have supplies, the villagers will hold on, and within another day, the rescue team can evacuate the villagers.

However, Lu Ran was also sowhat worried about the safety of these students.

After all, these students are just kids.

Ye Chen said, “Commander Lu, don’t worry. These devices have been rigorously tested, and these students are trained; there will be no safety issues.”

After hesitating for a mont, Lu Ran nodded, “Alright then, make sure to pay attention to safety.”

He had heard of the reputation of Star University, having won the national contribution award. Especially seeing Ye Chen walking in the flood as if on flat ground brought him imnse shock.

Thus, Lu Ran personally brought a map and marked the location of villages for Ye Chen and his students.

What Ye Chen and the students need to do is to deliver the supplies to the people imdiately.

Each student carried a heavy backpack.

The backpacks were filled with food and daily necessities.

Ye Chen said with a deep voice, “Now we form a team of five, delivering food to the disaster-stricken people. Everyone must pay attention to safety and keep in touch with the base at all tis.”

“Yes!” All fifty students nodded simultaneously.

Ye Chen then briefed the students on safety precautions.

After all, they were walking on floodwaters, and if careless, they might encounter danger.

If any child has a problem, Ye Chen could not bear the responsibility.

Watching Ye Chen lead fifty students in different directions, everyone was shocked.

“Oh my, this is simply astonishing.”

Many even felt that these individuals were just like aliens.

Ye Chen walked in the flood, the sensation resembling walking on quicksand, progressing very slowly.

Yet, no one dared to delay.

They all knew that ti equates to life.

A minute’s delay might an the people’s lives would be at risk.

An hour later, they finally saw a village.

On a rooftop, a girl was trembling.

“Mom, I’m so cold.”

The girl’s mother touched her daughter’s forehead, and her face suddenly changed.

“Child, you have a fever.”

It was still raining heavily, and they were soaked through.

Moreover, the food they brought when they escaped had already been consud.

The mother held the daughter, tears flowing: “Child, the army uncles will definitely co to rescue us—hold on a bit longer.”

At this mont, she suddenly saw several figures ahead.

Li i rubbed her eyes, feeling as if she were hallucinating.

Because these people were walking on the water’s surface.

Could it be that she was already delirious?

As these people got closer, they saw clearly.

Their chests were inscribed with several large characters.

“Star Rescue Team.”

Li i, excitedly hugging her child, exclaid: “Child, you must hang in there—soone is coming to save us.”

But seeing these people walking on water, all the villagers were stunned.

How can these people walk on water?

Could they be aliens?

Ye Chen approached Li i and noticed the girl trembling violently, her face pale, his expression slightly changed.

He quickly took out clothes, changed her, and fetched fever-reducing dicine to administer.

Ye Chen said earnestly: “Big sister, I must take the child away—to a hospital.”

“But,” looking at the child, Li i hesitated.

Ye Chen reassured: “Trust , if the child remains here, it’s very dangerous.”

Li i gritted her teeth and handed the child to Ye Chen.

“Thank you, thank you—please safely take the child to the hospital.”

Ye Chen nodded vigorously.

The food for this village has been fully distributed.

Ye Chen also brought clothes, dicine, and umbrellas, food, enough for them to hold on for at least three days.

They rescued one village and needed to return to continue delivering supplies to other villages.

Ye Chen left the village with the girl.

At this ti, Lu Ran stood on the dam, continuously checking his watch.

The rescue team had been gone for two hours, yet there was no news.

Suddenly, they saw several figures.

Lu Ran’s face lit up with joy: “They’re back.”

Upon landing, Ye Chen quickly handed the child to the dical personnel, where she was imdiately sent to the hospital.

Though everyone was exhausted, none wanted to rest—they continued carrying supplies to the next village.

Because they knew, a little fatigue would not matter. A few minutes’ delay might an that people could no longer hold on, risking loss of life.
