Simulation Game: Crisis Management-Chapter 299 - 151: Decision-Making (Part 5)

Many parents placed their young children in wooden basins, letting them float in the water accumulating inside their homes.

"Hey! You’d better tie down the basins with ropes, otherwise they could easily be swept away when the water gets turbulent!"

Seeing this scene, Gu Ji quickly rolled down the car window and shouted, reminding those carefree parents.

Compared to humans who still have shelters, animals are even more "miserable."

Along the way, Gu Ji saw many animals pitifully hiding under trees; those that could climb had mostly gone up, while more aquatic animals could only drown.

As a result, on the "road" he was driving on, besides clothes, branches, and garbage, there were also floating corpses.

After driving for less than ten kilometers, he found a white Toyota SUV stopped in the middle of the road. Unexpectedly, as he got closer, he saw a young man inside the car frantically knocking on the window, with a tearful voice: "Please, sir, you must save us!"

"Move back a bit."

Gu Ji parked the car beside it, grabbed the fire axe, and smashed the glass in the same manner.

Once the car door was opened, the young man in a suit with slicked-back hair thanked him excitedly a few times, but the next second, he stood frozen.

The two of them stared at each other wide-eyed.

Coincidentally, this person was one of the attendees of the state government meeting earlier. If he remembered correctly, he should be the accompanying secretary of the mayor of Gauhati. Inside, the mayor, wearing a black suit and sporting a stubbly beard, felt somewhat awkward recalling how he had sided with the Minister of Transport in the meeting earlier, but still opened his mouth to thank Gu Ji.

"Mr. Vidhi, what are you doing here? Did the Police Headquarters Minister send you?"

"No, I’m planning to go to Gauhati."

"You’re going to Gauhati too? That’s great, could you give us a ride? Shiva will surely see your kind deed!"

"Get in the car!"

Within his abilities, Gu Ji certainly couldn’t stand by and do nothing, especially since the person was the top official of Gauhati, which would also be beneficial for his urban investigation and monitoring of water levels.

Inside the car, the mayor sat in the front passenger seat, while the driver and secretary sat in the back.

At the sight of a large amount of supplies stacked inside the car, all three of them were dumbfounded.

The heavy rain started only yesterday afternoon.

And today, Gu Ji had already prepared a car full of supplies. If it weren’t for their just finished meeting, knowing that Gu Ji was skilled in disaster management and crisis awareness, they might have thought he could predict the future!

The mayor glanced at the supplies, including thermal blankets and canned food, and instinctively shivered, pursing his lips.

The secretary immediately understood.

"Mr. Vidhi, the mayor is soaked to the skin. Could we borrow a thermal blanket and some food from you?"

"Sure, they’re all in the back. Take three packs of biscuits and a can of food. Be frugal with the water."

"Uh... okay, thank you, Mr. Vidhi!"

The secretary awkwardly hesitated for a moment, seemingly feeling that Gu Ji was a bit stingy for only giving these items. However, since he made it clear already, he couldn’t take more, especially since they were the ones being rescued.

In contrast, the driver was continually expressing gratitude towards Gu Ji.

As a subordinate, he deeply understood that if it weren’t for Gu Ji passing by, in this remote area, by the time the fire rescue team from Dispur arrived, their car might have already been submerged by the water.

To be alive and to have food, he was incredibly grateful.

The mayor also understood the importance of supplies at this moment. After receiving the water, canned meat, and thermal blanket handed over by the secretary, he immediately spoke:

"Vidhi, thank you for your kind help. Once we reach Gauhati, I will certainly represent the county government to warmly entertain you to the highest standard..."

"Careful! There’s a gentle slope ahead. It was the driver’s carelessness earlier that caused the engine to stall!"

Seeing Gu Ji step on the gas to start the vehicle, the secretary hurriedly cautioned.

But Gu Ji chose to ignore it, directly charging over the slope.

"This has nothing to do with carelessness. When you came to Dispur this morning, the water level wasn’t as high. Now, the water level keeps rising with the heavy rain, making reckless driving naturally very dangerous."

The mayor finally understood Gu Ji’s concerns raised during the meeting.

Indeed, if the heavy rain continues at this pace, Assam might really turn into a vast ocean!

Buzz—buzz—

At this moment, the phones of several people buzzed.

The mayor pulled out his phone and couldn’t help but read aloud: "Flood prevention and self-rescue guide issued by the Assam Disaster Management Department. Wonderful, the Disaster Management Minister really is full of innovative ideas, and with this guide, it could save many people..."

Splash!

"Watch out!!"
