Starting in late May, the entire Dragon Mountain County became shrouded in dark clouds.
By June, the rain intensified.
With water levels rising rapidly, several reservoirs reached their historical maximum storage levels, and the situation became increasingly dire.
With Ye Hong on leave and absent from the county, Chen Bin, as the acting leader, swiftly established a flood control command center.
He gathered everyone to collectively draft an emergency flood control plan.
However, the county's water affairs bureau chief firmly stated that the major reservoirs in the county were exceptionally sturdy and there was absolutely no risk of a dam breach.
Yet that very night, the largest reservoir in the county suddenly experienced a collapse, plunging the situation into extreme danger.
Upon receiving the news, Chen Bin immediately leapt out of bed and rushed to the county flood control command center.
When he saw the water bureau chief, he could barely suppress his anger.
