In this summer, at dawn before daybreak.
A gust of wind blew through, bringing a touch of coolness, but how could it dispel the unease within each heart?
In the alleys and streets, many residents hurriedly ran out of their homes, calling out names and greeting each other in panic.
In the moment, no one paid attention to each other’s appearance, whether in shorts and vests, or bare-chested?
Heading all the way towards the Great Palace, gradually hearing the sound of loudspeakers, this should be the various neighborhood committees organizing on their own initiative first.
Fortunately, the previous efforts in preventing enemy/spy activities and coordination of air-raid shelters have proven effective, and a good scene of orderly busyness appeared on the streets; even more fortunately, it’s summer now.
"After reporting the situation, don’t be in a hurry to leave. Once the plan is finalized, immediately go to the unit to deploy. The most critical moment has arrived, and if anyone obstructs you, show your momentum, and I will have your back!"
Zhang Guoqing took out a notebook and handed it to him. He understood the meaning of these words, having waited so long, it was time to show his fangs! But this step differed from his original plans.
He didn’t want to be caught in conflict with colleagues within a unit, nor did he want to miss this once-in-a-lifetime plan. He desired to step out, openly receiving recognition from people.
"This is an emergency plan for earthquake relief that I summarized after the earthquake in ’71."
Zhou Xiaozheng was startled upon hearing this, suppressing his inner worries, looking deeply at him for a while, "Want to go on-site?"
Zhang Guoqing nodded seriously, "You’re here."
The father-in-law and son-in-law both understood the implied meaning in these words, but Zhou Xiaozheng sighed silently. The opportunity was indeed good, but he truly considered this son-in-law as his own son, especially having just heard the report on the phone; the current situation worried him inevitably.
The neighboring county towns had collapsed buildings, what about Teng Mountain? Deliberating further, not to mention the significant risks on-site, even the rescue effort is enormous.
"Dad?"
This call of "Dad" ultimately made Zhou Xiaozheng compromise: "I’ll let Xiao Wang go with you."
Zhang Guoqing didn’t refuse, knowing he was worried, earnestly stating, "Dad, don’t worry, I’ll return without losing a single hair."
As for Xiao Wang following him, it was time for him to further his studies; go, together, saving more lives is an act of merit.
Hearing this, a smile tugged at the corners of Zhou Xiaozheng’s mouth, then he suppressed his inner gratification, gripping the booklet in his hand, instructing, "In a moment, I will have you speak, reveal everything you know, don’t be nervous."
Nervous?
Facing familiar elders, Zhang Guoqing truly had nothing to be nervous about. Moreover, with his father-in-law beside him, that was his confidence!
Zhou Xiaozheng’s so-called speech was certainly not just talking, watching his child calmly and steadily articulate the emergency plan.
He glanced at the expressions of a few present, hmm, very good, truly worthy of being his son-in-law!
Now, time is life.
Before dawn, with his abilities, Zhang Guoqing unexpectedly became the on-site commander, immediately assembling a makeshift team to board a plane.
