In fact, sometimes Mother Nature is not so understanding. People hadn't been happy for long before the rain started pouring again just as Ling Chengyan and her team arrived at the riverbank.
The rain was heavy, relentless, as if the heavens had a hole punched through, spilling river waters from the sky.
Ling Chengyan led the special training team members out of the car, the pouring rain hitting them hard, making it difficult to keep their eyes open.
At Ling Chengyan's command, the team members moved in small groups, each member's waist securely connected with safety ropes to prevent them from slipping and falling into the river.
Where they got out of the car, the riverbank was relatively stable, with no signs of flooding.
In the darkness and rain, there were specks of lights - the night lamps of the people defending the dike and performing rescue operations.
The long, winding lights indicated that there were quite a lot of people on the riverbank.
