Free Web NovelChapter 1218: Chapter 1218: Power Station Dam Breach
How could she not know Mu Qiancheng’s intentions? Given the dangerous mission and the fact that one of their teammates had met with disaster, he couldn’t comfortably stay here. He had to go to the front line, even if his strength was insignificant, he needed to help.
"Xue’er, you shouldn’t go. It’s too dangerous over there. By then, I won’t be able to protect you." Mu Qiancheng didn’t want Jiang Xue to go with them; such a dangerous place was somewhere he should go alone.
"Qian Cheng, whether you agree or not, I will go. If I go, maybe I can even help you guys. Don’t forget, I have a secret weapon on me, I won’t get hurt." Jiang Xue said seriously, since she was here, naturally wherever Mu Qiancheng was, she would be too.
This way, in case something happens, she can help him immediately.
"Xue’er, it’s not that I don’t want you to go, but I’m worried about your safety. What if something goes wrong?" Mu Qiancheng tried again to persuade Jiang Xue, wanting her to abandon the idea of going with him.
"That’s right, sister-in-law, it’s too dangerous over there. Just wait for us here." Gong Bei also tried to persuade her.
However, Jiang Xue paid no attention, saying to Mu Qiancheng, "If you don’t agree, I’ll go by myself."
With those words, Mu Qiancheng had no choice but to agree. So, that night, the three of them, escorted by vehicles from the command post, arrived at their mission site, a mountain power plant.
This was a hydropower plant providing electricity to an entire township. It had quite a long history too.
If it weren’t for the continuous heavy rains, this power plant could probably have lasted another few decades. But everything was destroyed in this relentless downpour. The water level rose and the dam was washed away.
As a result, the situation was dire. The entire township was left without electricity, and a power plant was destroyed. Mu Qiancheng and their team’s mission was to find a way to repair the damaged dam so the plant could continue generating electricity.
When Jiang Xue and the others arrived, they saw the soldiers carrying sandbags to fill the dam. As for the teammate who had sacrificed, he was washed away by the water, and they couldn’t even find the body.
But for the mission, the brothers had to endure the pain and strive to complete their task. As soon as Mu Qiancheng and Gong Bei arrived, they immediately joined in the mission.
Jiang Xue wanted to help, but being a woman, not only did the others not allow her, she wasn’t good at these physical tasks.
However, she was trying to find a way to make the dam more stable. Seeing that the soldiers were only using sandbags, which weren’t very effective, she glanced at the mountain behind and then walked towards it.
Mu Qiancheng watched Jiang Xue head up the mountain but didn’t say anything. To him, Jiang Xue shouldn’t have come here, given how dangerous it was.
Jiang Xue climbed the mountain, then with Little Fox and Big Tiger, she began chopping down trees. If Jiang Xue were alone, cutting trees would be troublesome. But with help, it was no problem.
After chopping down some big trees, Jiang Xue segmented them and sharpened the ends, then let Big Tiger push the finished logs down the mountain.
Soldiers carrying sandbags were taken aback by the logs suddenly rolling down the mountain. They hadn’t thought of this method; it was simply due to lack of tools, forcing them to use the most uncomplicated way of filling sandbags.
Now with the logs, it was the perfect solution. Immediately, some brothers got the logs to the dam.
