Chapter 294: News Reporter Interviews

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

It’s 1:32 pm now. I’m currently on the flood control embankment of Lao Hu Gang Village in Xi Guang.

Behind me, another flood wave has emerged.

The rising river water has washed away the raised flood control wall that our soldiers and citizens built during the day.

However, he had regained control of this place.

As you can see, the soldier behind me…”

It was already late at night, yet there were actually reporters reporting on the scene. This was beyond everyone’s imaginations.

Wherever the camera was aimed at, the soldiers would instantly become more energetic.

This was their way of showing their heroic side to the whole country!

Wang Ye even saw that Wei Qing Hai was running very fast. He deliberately carried sandbags and passed by the camera every time.

This fellow had been complaining that he was exhausted and couldn’t carry it anymore and that he wanted to lie down and rest.

But now, after he returned, he said to Wang Ye and the others,”Quick, give me another bag. I can carry it!”

Yes, he already had a bag on his shoulder, and now he actually wanted to take the initiative to increase the load.

“Hehe, Brother Wei, you’re working so hard because you want to be on TV!”Peng Yu Hang chuckled and did not stand on ceremony as he spoke. Him and a soldier from Class 6 came forward and carried another bag of sand onto his shoulder.

Now, the job of digging sand and packing bags was done by Kang Hua and all the soldiers of the 4th Company.

As for the work of carrying the sand, it was Zheng Ke, the deputy company commander, who led the veterans to do it.

However, to Wei Qing Hai’s disappointment, the reporters did not stop him for an interview.

Of course, Wei Qing Hal’s little plan had succeeded.

He carried two bags of sand over and was given a close-up by the camera.

Although they didn’t interview him, it was estimated that his figure carrying two bags of sand might really be broadcast later on and will be on the television screens of thousands of households across the country.

“Currently, we…” On the riverbank, Wu Jian Feng was still directing the work. Now, it was the instructor who was being interviewed and explaining the situation in detail.

“Hey, Brother Wang, do you want to be on TV? Why don’t you carry two bags of sand and show your face?”

Beside Wang Ye, Peng Yu Hang came over and giggled with a smile.

Wang Ye’s hand, which was waving the hoe, paused for a moment. Then, he looked at him and smiled,”You go, I don’t want that!”

He was speaking the truth.

An interview? On television?

If the situation of people fighting the flood on the front line was really on television, then when his parents and relatives in his hometown knows about it, they would be very worried.

His father might not, and he might even go around showing off, but his mother would definitely. She might even come to the army to visit.

Wang Ye thought about it and decided to forget about it.

Moreover, he was drenched and covered in mud, which seriously affected his charismatic image…

However, sometimes, the more you don’t want something, the more reality would go against your thoughts.

Wang Ye didn’t want to go, but the female reporter, accompanied by the instructor, came over with the cameraman.

“Wang Ye!”

The instructor went to the nearby roadside and shouted.

Here!”

Wang Ye’s hand that was waving the hoe stopped.

“Brother Wang, it’s not up to you. I took the initiative to interview you!”

Peng Yu Hang whispered with a little envy.

Wang Ye glanced at him and didn’t say anything. He only responded to the instructor and didn’t go over to them.

“Come here for a moment!” the instructor said with a smile.

“Reporting to the instructor, I am currently carrying out flood relief work. The disaster is urgent, and I can’t be distracted!”

Wang Ye replied. Then, he turned around and continued digging with his hoe.

If it was to make a contribution and go on television, Wang Ye wouldn’t resist.

Even if they really ended the rescue and flood relief work, Wang Ye wouldn’t mind if they came back for an interview.

But now, forget it.

“Uh Wang Ye’s actions made the instructor a little embarrassed.

At the same time, the cameraman and the female reporter were also surprised.

Didn’t they say that the new recruits were doing the work of digging and loading sand?

Why was it that an instructor couldn’t instruct a recruit now?

The two of them looked at Wang Ye, then at the instructor.

However, as a reporter, the female reporter reacted quickly.

Without needing the instructor to explain anything, she said directly,”This solider is right. We are outsiders and we shouldn’t interfere with their work.

How about this? We’ll go over and take a photo. When they’re working, we’ll just ask them a few questions!”

“This, forget it. I’ll just call someone else over!”

Although the instructor didn’t know why Wang Ye didn’t want to go on television, since Wang Ye had said so, he didn’t want to make things difficult for him.

If he didn’t want to, then forget it. Find someone else.

The others would definitely be eager to see themselves on television.

Immediately, he looked at Peng Yu Hang, who was beside Wang Ye, and shouted,”Peng Yu Hang!”

“Here!”

“Put down what you’re doing and come over!”

“Brother Wang!”

At this moment, Peng Yu Hang turned his head to look at Wang Ye, looking pleasantly surprised and a little nervous.

“I’m calling you. If you want to go, go!”

Wang Ye was still waving his hoe, but at this moment, he turned his head and said to him with a smile,

“Forget it, a man must have a backbone. If you didn’t go, I won’t go either!”

After saying this, Peng Yu Hang turned his head and imitated Wang Ye’s words to reply to the instructor,”Chief of Staff, the flood relief mission is urgent. 1 have to hurry up and work!”

At this moment, the instructor was speechless. He was cursing in his heart.

Was he really that useless as an instructor in the Fourth Company?

How embarrassing. He, an instructor, actually got ignored by two recruits.

It was fine if he couldn’t move Wang Ye, but he had to coax this recruit. However, Peng Yu Hang didn’t even give him face.

This fellow had probably never been in this situation before!

The instructor pulled a long face as he thought.

On the side, the cameraman carrying the camera was looking at the instructor, while the female reporter was looking at Wang Ye and Peng Yu Hang.

After thinking for a moment, she smiled at the cameraman and said,”Let’s go and take a look for ourselves!”

Sometimes, women are more curious than men.

Wang Ye and Peng Yu Hang’s rejection made him even more curious about the situation of these two recruits.

So, without waiting for the instructor to agree, he brought the camera and walked down the dirt road where the soldiers were running out with sandbags.

“Brother Wang, you’re here!”

“Don’t worry about it. Let’s just do our job!”

Wang Ye wasn’t blind, especially at the place where the sand was being collected. The headlights of the military transport trucks were also shining in his direction, so although it was midnight, his field of vision was still very wide.

” Beside me. This is the sand mining area for flood control work. The soldiers are…”

As soon as the woman came over, she only looked at Wang Ye and the others. Then, she didn’t directly come up to ask anything. Instead, she stood at the side and began to introduce them to the camera.

Wang Ye turned his body sideways to face them so that the camera couldn’t capture his face. Peng Yu Hang didn’t care less .

He would turn his head to look from time to time. He even deliberately moved his feet to change positions while working seriously so that the camera could capture his face clearly.

Although he said that he had to have a backbone, he could not resist the temptation of going on television.

Soon, the female reporter finished her introduction and walked straight to Wang Ye and Peng Yu Hang, who were still working.

“Hello, can I interview you briefly?”

“Hehe, sure, but you have to be quick. We’re carrying out a flood relief mission.”Peng Yu Hang was already prepared for her to interview him. He had thought about it many times in his mind.

Wang Ye, on the other hand, was a little helpless. This camera was really annoying. They insisted on using the camera to take a picture of his face.

Wang Ye immediately stopped and turned to the female reporter,”! don’t want my parents to see me in this sorry state, so can you not interview me?””

As he said this, Wang Ye even said to the cameraman,”Big brother, can you cut off the part where you’re taking pictures of my face later?””

“Flaha, alright.”

The cameraman was stunned for a moment before he smiled and nodded.

After saying this, he even put down the camera that was originally aimed at Wang Ye.

On the other side, the female reporter was stunned for a moment before she smiled and said,” Actually, you don’t look like a mess at all. This is a manifestation of your bravery. I believe that Uncle and Auntie will be very proud when they see their son being so brave away from home.”

Wang Ye looked at her and smiled,”My parents should be proud enough now, so forget about it.””

The female reporter was stunned by his words. What did he mean by my parents are proud enough? What have you done?

Her instinct as a reporter made her want to hear Wang Ye’s story.

However, Wang Ye didn’t give her a chance.

“You guys interview my comrades. 1 have to get to work. Look at my comrades carrying sandbags. We’ll stop and wait for a while for more empty sandbags to come.”

After saying this, Wang Ye turned around and continued to wave the hoe.

“Alright, we won’t disturb you anymore.”

Although the female reporter still wanted to hear Wang Ye’s story, but since Wang Ye had already said so, she didn’t want to pester him.

Therefore, under the disappointment of Peng Yu Hang and the other recruits at the side, they actually stopped the interview.

She walked to the side, and the camera was pointed at her again.” According to the latest news from our station, the rainfall in many cities in Xi Guang has exceeded 100 millimetres in a day. Among them, there are dozens of towns with rainfall exceeding 200 millimetres.

The city with the most rainfall had already exceeded 460 millimetres in a single day within 24 hours yesterday.

One must know that in the northwestern region of our country, the annual rainfall is only 120 millimetres.

The current 460 millimetres was equivalent to three times the annual rainfall in the northwest region.

Therefore, the entire Xi Guang…”

At the side, the female reporter was narrating the lines of the news, and Wang Ye and the soldiers nearby couldn’t help but look at her because of her words.

In fact, Wang Ye was cursing in his heart.

The daily rainfall was three times the annual rainfall of the entire northwest region?

Was it that terrifying?

Although everyone felt that the situation was terrible and that the rain did not stop, they did not have any actual data.

Now that they heard this data for the first time, everyone felt their scalps go numb.

After all, the difference in numbers between one day and three years was too shocking.

To be honest, Wang Ye didn’t have a deep understanding of the flood. He even thought that the flood would pass quickly.

Because he was reincarnated, but he didn’t have any memory of the flood in the west of the year.

One of the reasons for this was that Wang Ye wasn’t in Xi Guang City at this time in his previous life, and he was only an ordinary student back then.

Every year, there would be some news about floods in the country. He had not experienced it personally. Even if he had seen the news back then, it was impossible for him to remember it for more than ten years.

But now, hearing this data, Wang Ye felt a lot of pressure.

The rainfall was too terrifying, and the fact was that it was still continuing.
