"To Black Stone Town!"
As Nie Zhenbang spoke with finality, the accompanying staff began to mobilize. On the dike, the vehicles started moving, and Nie Zhenbang opened the car door and sat down. Here, Secretary Hong Feng also opened the door and sat in the passenger seat.
As the car started, Hong Feng passed over a pair of deep-tubed overshoes, saying, "Secretary, the dike is mired in much mud, and the surface is quite slippery. For your safety, you should put these overshoes on."
Nie Zhenbang nodded his head. Just from the short walk he had taken earlier, the soles of his leather shoes had gathered a lot of mud, a thick layer that made his steps feel much heavier. In times like these, Nie Zhenbang was never one to stand on ceremony.
Ahead, Lushan City's Party Secretary Liu Junwei's car led the way, the procession of four vehicles traveling along the road below the Lushan Dike towards Black Stone Town.
