Rebirth: Solely Cherished by the Devoted Commander novel Chapter 394

Chapter 394: Chapter 420: On a Mission

Sun Chan was busy preparing for the wedding. Right until the day before the wedding, Gu Junming invited Sun Chan for a meal, and after hesitating for half a day, he finally spoke his mind. He even dared not look into Sun Chan’s eyes.

Who knew Sun Chan would only be silent for a moment before saying, "Then let’s leave it. Wait until you have a break to go out, but when will you be back?"

"Hmm, when the flood season ends, maybe end of August."

Sun Chan smiled, "Good, I’ll still be on summer vacation. We can have some time to play then."

Gu Junming held her hand, "I’m sorry, I really just..."

"I don’t blame you. You’re a soldier; it’s your duty. Your matters are of great importance; I wouldn’t say anything." Sun Chan comforted him instead, "Just be very careful! Water and fire are ruthless; don’t be too impulsive when doing things. It’s most important to protect yourself."

Gu Junming smiled, "I understand. I will be careful for you too, wait for my return." 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Sun Chan was actually worried sick; water and fire are ruthless, not to mention floods! Just a small mistake and one could be swept away, losing life, leading to misfortune.

Gu Junming said, "I’m already married, I won’t be so reckless."

Sun Chan responded with a "Hmm" and leaned against him.

She recalled her past life, when she was twenty, there indeed was a flood disaster. That year, there was a lot of rain, floods everywhere. Her village had higher ground, so it wasn’t serious. But other villages were completely submerged, crop fields bore no harvest, and some villagers refused to leave, hiding and resisting evacuation, eventually drowning inside.

The broadcast was filled with stories of many soldiers fighting floods and rescuing, sacrificing many lives. Later, a flood prevention memorial tower was built by the river bank.

Thinking of these things made her shiver: "Gu Junming, please be very careful. Don’t make me worry about you."

"I understand." Gu Junming patted her back, "Let’s not think about these. It might turn out well, I could even be back by June. There’s never been such a big flood here anyway."

"We can’t be too optimistic; this flood might be very dangerous. For instance, in our low-lying areas, Red Village, and Er Dong Village’s farmland could be at risk. Nearby villages may lose water and power, embankments could collapse, people must be moved out first. You need to be prepared with sandbags, and medicine. Oh, and there might be two collapse moments; don’t think of rescuing when the water recedes." Recalling her past life, the severity wasn’t predicted, costing many lives.

It was said that the people at the time were reluctant to leave. Seeing the water gone, many villagers thought it was fine and went to roads to pick mud surfaces, even finding fish. Who knew not long after descending, the second flood came, sweeping them away. Many soldiers sacrificed themselves to save them, as the villagers narrated.

Gu Junming froze: "How do you know these? Will the dam really collapse?"

Sun Chan’s mind raced, quickly saying, "It’s what I’ve heard from villagers when I was little. Those villages are prone to flooding; I imagine towns here are similar, must be tougher on evacuating folks to avoid big incidents. I think this is similar to that case back then."

Gu Junming said, "I got it, I’ll pay attention."

Because of this matter, the two didn’t feel the joy of getting married; after leaving Sun Chan’s side, Gu Junming returned to his dormitory, took out nearby area maps, viewed them carefully, feeling cold sweat on his back.
