Chapter 1338: Crushing the Tornado

Minister Song that they've arrived Doesn't Dr. Zhou know yet" Shi Dahong’s words sounded like she was speaking to Hu Shanchang, but in reality, they were directed at Dr. Zhou. 。County leaders came to...Provincial Party Secretary Xiong Qi's choice has already shown the determination to "die rather than yield" if unsuccessful. 。Today's events have been the biggest challenge of his political career!

The appearance of strange clouds, the rise of typhoons, and the rampage of tornadoes have resulted in the flooding of cities, the destruction of skyscrapers, casualties among the masses, with hundreds trapped, helicopters crashing, and the mayor's fate unknown. Behind all this is surging floodwaters and a city-wide distrust that sees him as a "desert bear" who has brought disaster to the city!

All these events have put immense pressure on Xiongqi's mind, cutting off all his escape routes! Xiongqi is holding onto a heart that expects death! This kind of mentality is rarely seen in someone like him who holds such a high position! Leaders who reach such heights generally first weigh the pros and cons 。No matter what, as long as one is alive, opportunities exist! Even if a high-rise like Mei Li Hotel collapses ten times, it's a natural disaster. Blaming responsibility can't solely fall on Xiong Qi of Yuezhou! Even if the death toll increases tenfold, there are still relevant department leaders to share the responsibility.

Therefore, if it were other leaders, they definitely wouldn't take such a "risky" action. They would first consider how to avoid blame and then think about mitigation measures! However, Xiong Qi is not like that!

Perhaps because he was a top student since childhood, his heart couldn't tolerate sand Perhaps because his career path has always been in high-level government agencies, the idealistic fire in his heart has yet to be extinguished Or perhaps as the "seat" (**note: this needs clarification depending on context - could mean mayor/chairperson etc.), he is a perfectionist who cannot bear the city's people's denial of him... This led him to make such a decision, personally boarding a helicopter to rescue and save people! Xiong Qi believes that he only has this path, if successful, he saves others and himself; if unsuccessful, he doesn't save others, but saves his inner self, which is also a kind of liberation!

However, without any provincial leaders following him, Xiao Zheng resolutely and without any hesitation said to Xiong Qi, "Secretary Xiong, I'll go with you," and resolutely followed Xiong Qi towards the helicopter. 。The two boarded the helicopter, Xiong Qi shouted in Xiao Zheng's ear: "Xiao Zheng, you don't have to go up with me" 。“It’s absolutely necessary!” Xiao Zheng said, “Secretary Xiong, you are my role model. I feel incredibly honored to fight alongside you!”

Xiong Qi looked at Xiao Zheng, his heart filled with emotion, and shook Xiao Zheng's hand tightly. 。Before, he had high hopes for Xiao Zheng, perhaps also related to his idealism. When he looked at people, he tended to think they were good, no matter what. 。So, insisting on transferring Xiao Zheng from Ninggan here was actually driven by very little self-interest. It wasn't about pleasing anyone in Xiao Zheng's background, but simply because of "seeing potential" and appreciation! However, Xiao Zheng proved Xiongqi's "seeing potential" and appreciation correct with his actions.

In this world, who could be more trustworthy than someone willing to die with you! Even more so when it comes to within the system itself. 。Bear Flag shouted to the helicopter pilot, "Take off!" The helicopter pilot was also a young soldier, a passionate and valiant man. Seeing that the provincial Party Secretary had personally taken the lead, so fearless and courageous, the pilot was also inspired: "Yes, Commander, take off!" The helicopter rose from the ground, parting all the wind and rain, climbing towards an altitude of over five hundred meters! The leaders and people on the ground could only look up, watching Bear Flag and Xiao Zheng's helicopter continuously rise, rising higher and higher. That was a height they were probably unable to reach in their entire lives!At this moment, the giant eagle plane owned by the Xiao family had already flown over the Lingnan Mountains and entered the sky of Yuezhou. Just as it approached the airspace above Yue City, the provincial capital, the pilot suddenly noticed that the clouds below had changed from cotton-like white clouds to a dark, ink-like ocean. 。The pilot reminded, “Everyone please fasten your seatbelts, we may encounter lightning and thunder with strong turbulence below!” Xiao Rongrong also reminded Xiao Jingyu, “Jingyu, hold Xiao Yuan a little tighter.” 。Dr. Su, hold onto the handrail too! 。“Xiao Jingyu nodded solemnly.” 。Dr. Su also said, "Okay." 。At this moment, the plane experienced a sharp jolt. 。However, at this time, Xiao Yuan leaned towards the porthole, a childishly innocent and carefree smile spreading across his face. 。He probably thinks bumps are fun, and shaking is interesting!

The Giant Eagle plane has already reached the airspace above Yue Du!

Xiao Jingyu wants to see Xiao Zheng as soon as possible because she is worried about him, so she has already asked the pilot to set the location to the Meili Hotel! As they get closer and closer to the designated location, the pilot reminds: “The plane is about to land, please pay attention” 。Just as everyone said they were ready, the plane plunged into the thick cloud layer. 。

However, as soon as the plane entered the storm clouds, it was like plunging into a squid's belly. It was truly "black clouds churning ink," with thunder and lightning raging. These dark clouds seemed to be hostile toward them, swarming in and attacking. There were not only violent jolts and tremors, but also countless bolts of lightning striking the plane>>> 。Even though the Giant Eagle aircraft is equipped with advanced lightning protection systems, each lightning strike still causes strong vibrations. 。Xiao's family pilots are experienced and can be said to be once-in-a-million pilots. They have even flown to Kunlun Mountain in Mengqing, which was part of his mission!

However, today's situation is something he has never seen before. Still, he used all his skills to try and dodge the lightning strikes. 。Suddenly, a white light appeared ahead. It was no longer just a beam of light, but like a nuclear explosion, energy surged towards the head of the plane. 。The driver shouted, "Watch out!" He instinctively put his hand up to shield his eyes. 。。Those below were also watching the scene with hearts full of anguish. 。As the altitude increased, the helicopter swayed like a fallen leaf in a storm,隨時 ready to be blown down by the strong wind and rain! At this time, Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee member Pu Jing and Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee Secretary-General Ye Sujing stood together. Pu Jing raised her head and said to Ye Sujing, "Secretary Ye, if this one falls down too, a lot of trouble would be gone!" Ye Sujing glanced at Pu Jing, her heart skipped a beat. She was a little surprised that Pu Jing would say such a thing in this situation! Although Xiongqi's arrival had brought some trouble, Ye Sujing felt that it hadn't reached the point where Xiongqi needed to die! But Pu Jing was different... 。However, Ye Sujing and Pu Jing were still allies for now. She couldn't tell Pu Jing her true thoughts, so she could only perfunctorily say, "Yeah!" Pu Jing smiled and said, "I've been waiting for this moment..." 。At this moment, Governor Fan Qihang also looked up at the helicopter! Huajing sent Xiongqi to Guangdong Province as the provincial Party secretary. Fan Qihang had many thoughts in his heart! But seeing Xiongqi's performance today, he asked himself if he had the courage of Xiongqi, and could do such a selfless act! Although he didn't think Xiongqi's actions were wise, he couldn't help but admire his courage. 。Fan Qihang's secretary wanted to hold an umbrella for him, but he pushed her away. Rainwater mingled on his upturned face, and a contradictory and complex thought ran through his mind like waterlines crisscrossing. The central idea of his chaotic thoughts was: if Xiongqi had an accident, he would have an opportunity; but he didn't want to see Xiongqi get into trouble from the bottom of his heart!

The helicopter had already risen to almost 500 meters and was getting closer and closer to the top. 。The pilot shouted, "We're almost there!" Xiong Qi shouted, "Okay, approach quickly and be careful!" 。However, the cyclone's vortex suddenly turned towards the plane. The pilot tried to evade it again, but it was as if an incredibly powerful magnet was hidden within the cyclone, dragging the plane towards it. 。The plane's engine roared with effort, and the propeller at the top screamed loudly, as if it were about to be ripped off!

"Leaders, our plane might not be working again!" shouted the pilot! Xiongqi also clearly felt that the plane seemed to be being pulled away from the building, sucked into the vortex of the tornado. 。In Xiongqi's heart, there was also a glimmer of despair. He looked at Xiao Zheng: "I'm sorry, Xiao Zheng, for making you accompany me on this journey to the brink." 。"Xiao Zheng also felt that things looked grim, but seeing Xiong Qi's despairing eyes, he still encouraged him: 'Commissar Xiong, there might still be hope!'

Just then, the plane was suddenly sucked into a tornado" 。The pilot yelled, "Ah!" People on the ground also saw the helicopter out of control, being swept into a vortex like a leaf...

Just at this moment, a vine-like lightning suddenly appeared above the helicopter, moving like a giant snake. In front of the helicopter's windshield, a golden giant with horns appeared... 。The pilot suddenly shouted, "Lightning Dragon!" It was the first thought that popped into his head to describe the scene before him. 。The giant "Lightning Serpent Dragon" turned its massive head back to Xiao Zheng, its dragon eyes seeming to communicate with Xiao Zheng's before turning away and diving into the whirlwind, causing a tremendous upheaval. 。On the tornado, suddenly appeared hundreds of holes. The tornado was pierced by golden light and collapsed outwards, scattering into countless fragments of dark clouds, unable to form again. 。At this time, the monstrous clouds that resembled devil's heads in the distance, as if coming to life, flapped their vast wings like bats and quickly approached. They opened their huge maws and instantly swallowed the helicopter where Xiao Zheng and his companions were located. The pilot’s eyes went black again, and fear surged over him once more. 。But before the pilot could even cry out, from the northeastern sky, a blue flying phoenix like a shuttle shot into the clouds, rotating and dancing with the golden dragon. Suddenly, the golden dragon flew upwards, and the flying phoenix flew downwards, piercing through each other. Then the golden dragon flew in from the left, and the flying phoenix flew in from the right, followed by flights towards the northeast, southwest... In total, it pierced through all eight directions: Qian, Kan, Gen, Zhen, Xun, Li, Kun, and Dui. Afterward, the devil-like head cloud and bat-like dark wings exploded and dissipated into rain clouds, flying towards all directions in the sky above Yuezhou!In the sky, only a helicopter and a giant eagle aircraft remained, flying leisurely. 。Before the incident, how the Giant Eagle aircraft escaped and how the pilot regained consciousness were only known to those on board, such as Xiao Jingyu. 。Those on the ground could not see what had happened with their own eyes, they only saw the tornado and strange clouds disappear without a cause. 。Even the provincial Party Secretary Xiong Qi couldn't figure out what had happened. 。Two planes in the air drew closer. From the porthole, Xiao Zheng saw his wife Xiao Jingyu's tender smile. Beside her face, little Xiao Yuan also smiled and patted the airplane window with his small hand! we did not ask.” 。“Jia Song became even more dissatisfied: “You guys, your standards are really not high enough! How can you do things like this When we do things, we need to have a comprehensive und...
