A leisurely life that begins with the possession of a game character

Chapter 98 Speechless
Immediately at the end of the wholesale market street where the flood was deepest, in a one-story house, a man and a woman trapped by the flood were shouting for help from the window on the first floor of the house.Because the flood came so quickly, it seemed that their door couldn't be opened after they were trapped inside.There is an anti-theft net on the window, but I dare not open it casually now because the water is almost higher than the window.

Zhang Lan thought, and the rusted screws on one side of the anti-theft net were quietly carried away by the water flow.Immediately afterwards, Flood carried a branch as thick as an adult's thigh and hung it on the anti-theft net. While breaking the glass, he took the anti-theft net off the window frame.

Floodwater rushed into the house instantly, and the thigh-deep water in the house began to rise rapidly.A branch with branches and leaves was carried by the current and stuck to the window, and the influx of water slowed down a lot.

The man in the room was stunned for a moment when he saw the situation in front of him, then he came to his senses and opened the window from the inside facing the water flow.Then the man dragged a floating wooden table and asked the woman beside him to lie down on the table.Then I found a rope from the house to tie the table, and then started waiting for the water to flow in.

By the time the flood reached the window, the branches had drifted away along with the flood.The man held his nose with one hand and grabbed the rope with the other hand and started diving along the window.

After swimming out of the window, the man grabbed the rope and began to swim up the wall, then grabbed the store's sign and climbed to the roof.After tying the rope to the signboard shelf, the man dived down again, and after a while he pulled the woman up to the roof.

Observing the two people climbing onto the roof, Zhang Lan thought. The water flowing around the front of the house quietly dispersed, and the flood began to continue flowing.

After Zhang Lan observed, he found that all the residents trapped in the flood had reached a safe location, and all that was left was to wait for rescue.Then we started to continue exploring to the south where the flood was coming.

Zhang Lan discovered after further investigation that the entire south side of the village was full of flowing floods. The water in the moat had overflowed the west embankment and was flowing everywhere unscrupulously.

On the embankment on the east side of the moat, countless people are constantly raising the embankment.But the floods have already begun to overflow part of the river embankment and spread into the city.

Zhang Lan's whole body was surrounded by water, and he continued to check along the water flow of the moat.When they reached a corner in the north of Xiang City, Zhang Lan was silent for a long time as he looked at the three huge gaps in the north of the river that were reflected in his mind.

Looking at the countless people standing on the embankment on the south side of the river, Zhang Lan sighed and turned around to leave.

On the way back, Zhang Lan thought about the news he had read on his mobile phone. All the reservoirs in the north of Xiang City were already overwhelmed.After several consecutive days of heavy rain, even the barrage in the west ditch of Qingshan Village was washed away by the flood. It was just a small ditch. I had never seen such a large amount of water flow through that ditch since I was a child.

Most of the final flow direction of all floods is concentrated in the Xinghe River in the north of Xiang City and the west of Canghe City. In order to prevent floods, an artificial channel was dug along the old path of the Xinghe River in parallel with the current Xinghe River.

But there has been too much rain this year. After several days of heavy rain, the various reservoirs in the upstream could only passively start releasing floods, which put huge pressure on the downstream cities of Xiangshi and Canghe.

On the North Ring Road in Xianghe City, Zhang Lan looked at a vast ocean just now, but now the entire land from Xiangshi to Canghe is a vast ocean.

Returning to Canghe, Zhang Lan did not walk along the river again, but followed the water flow along the breach to check the situation.Now the entire west of Canghe City is covered with large floods and is spreading towards Canghe City.Zhang Lan's speed became faster and faster, and finally couldn't help but silently chant "ride the wind and break the waves" and "water escape", and began to move quickly along the flood, until he stopped at the intersection of the two Xinghe rivers downstream of Canghe City.

Then Zhang Lan turned around and rushed to Canghe City. After this trip, Zhang Lan had a general idea in his mind.The most dangerous place now is the urban area of ​​Canghe, and what happened in Shanglin Village is just a preview.Quietly arriving at the moat to the west of Canghe City, Zhang Lan sighed as he watched the crowds of people coming and going quickly stacking generations of sandbags on the embankment.The current situation is that he is somewhat helpless. The current situation is not bad. According to the speed of the water flow, the most dangerous thing will be during the day tomorrow.

I took out my phone and looked at it. It was still calm and lifeless.After several days of heavy rain, most areas in Canghe City are experiencing some communication difficulties. The mobile phone signal is barely enough to make calls, and the network has been intermittent.But the good news is that most broadband networks are still available.

Turning around and coming to Shanglin Village, Zhang Lan found a deserted place to remove the trap, walked along the road to the car, put on rescue equipment, packed her things and walked to Shanglin Village.Captain Cai Yong and the others have rescued several people in their kayaks. Now they go over to replace them and let them rest for a while.

By about three o'clock in the morning, most of the residents had been evacuated.A part of the rescue team paddled kayaks back and forth in the village to check, while the rest of the team found a place to rest for the time being and will continue the rescue during the day tomorrow.

It was already four o'clock in the morning when Zhang Lan got home. After a brief wash, he lay down on the bed to rest.

Zhang Lan woke up at around six o'clock in the morning and climbed out of bed as soon as she looked at the time.When I was washing myself, I looked at myself in the mirror and said "Purpose All Living Beings", and I immediately felt much better.

While eating, Zhang Lan said to her mother: "Mom, you will call my aunt and my aunt later and tell them to be careful today. If that doesn't work, leave quickly and don't wait in the city."

Zhang Lan's mother was holding her mobile phone and watching nearby news on the short video platform. After hearing Zhang Lan's words, she said: "It's sunny now. There is no rain in the forecast for the next few days. It will be sunny. Everything is fine in the city. Didn’t the city leaders say today that the water level will slowly drop?”

"Who said the water level in the city would drop?" Zhang Lan was a little surprised. Based on what he saw yesterday, it would be good if the water level in the city didn't rise. How could it still drop?

"Look at the short video platform, the news has spread everywhere now." Zhang Lan's mother pointed to the video on her phone for Zhang Lan to watch.

Zhang Lan took out her mobile phone, opened the short video platform and started to check. Sure enough, the leader of Canghe City was standing in a flood in the city center with a smile on his face, saying enthusiastically that the water level would drop significantly by the afternoon.The situation will get better over the next few days due to weather conditions.

Zhang Lan was speechless for a long time while watching the video. If he hadn't checked it all from the breach to the downstream river intersection last night, he would have believed the speech of the city leader.

The weather has cleared up, and it won't rain again in the near future. Therefore, it is natural for everyone that the accumulated water in the city should gradually decrease.

And now, although the river embankment in the west of the city is flooded, it has been gradually blocked with sandbags.
