Chapter 685 The River Flows Eastward!
After eating and drinking, Li Yu went to check the drain in his water shoes.
Then, he came to the wall of the base.
Uncle San was not there, but Uncle Er and Uncle Da were both there, as well as some other people in the inner city, and two or three people including He Chao and Lao Qin.
Li Yu walked in, and everyone greeted him.
He waved his hand, sat down, looked at the surveillance screen and asked, "What's the situation now?"
Uncle Er saw that Li Yu was in high spirits, and knew that he had a good rest. Li Yu was now the core and soul of the base. If Li Yu had any problems with his health, it would have a great impact on the base.
Looking at Li Yu, Uncle Er pointed to the surveillance camera screen and slowly said, "Through the camera we placed outside the base, the national highway was flooded this morning, and the water depth was about two meters high."
Boom——
A flash of lightning flashed across.
The surveillance screen instantly became bright, and the scenery on the screen could be clearly seen.
Li Yu looked at the direction pointed by Uncle Er, which was the camera they placed on a telephone pole at the intersection of the national highway and the township road.
Looking at the monitoring screen, you can see a vast expanse of water.
Some houses on both sides of the national highway were built relatively early, and the national highway is almost repaired and raised every few years. This has caused the foundations of the houses on both sides of the national highway, which were not originally low, to be lower than the national highway. Some houses on both sides of the national highway are even more than two meters lower.
A three-story house is now submerged by the flood, with only the top floor left.
There is water everywhere, and the houses are submerged by water.
After the thunder, the second uncle's voice continued to come to my ears: "The rural road is slightly higher because of the terrain, so the front half was flooded, but it has not flooded to our side.
In addition, the number of zombies has increased in the past few days. The preliminary estimate should be more than 80,000, scattered in all directions of the wall. Of course, since the zombies mainly come from the main gate, the number of zombies in the main gate direction is the largest.
After opening the lowest level of mobile gates in the past few days, the zombies were successfully blocked, and the zombies would eat their own kind, which reduced the pressure of resistance.
So far, it is still a relatively safe state for us."
The second uncle roughly told Li Yu about the situation after he returned to the base to rest.
Li Yu nodded and said, "Yeah, second uncle, you have worked hard."
The second uncle waved his hand and then walked out of the duty room. He was going out to check the situation.
Li Yu saw Li Hang sitting on the side and asked: "Have you found all the pumps?"
Faced with his brother's question, Li Hang said: "All have been found, a total of 40 units, ready to use at any time. The dragon suction water pump has a very fast pumping speed, but, brother, we should not need this pump now, the sewer drainage can already drain all the water in our base. Why bother?"
Li Yu looked at him and said seriously: "Everything is prepared, and if it is not prepared, it will be abandoned. If we don't clean up the sewer in advance, the base will probably be flooded. Now it's raining so hard, if we don't prepare for the worst early, what if the situation is bad at that time?"
He continued patiently: "Xiao Hang, you must remember to do things in the future, and you must be prepared for the worst. If you are not careful in the end times, you will pay the price of your life, so don't have any fluke mentality."
In the duty room, there were Lao Qin, He Chao and others. When they heard what Li Yu said to Li Hang, they all looked at him with some appreciation.
This is especially true for Lao Qin. As a comrade-in-arms of his uncle, Li Yu still respects him very much and usually calls him Uncle Qin.
He couldn't help but sigh in his heart: He is worthy of being able to lead everyone and build such a stable and powerful base in the end times.
He Chao's heart is even simpler: He is worthy of being the leader I follow, and he is worth following!
Li Yu has always been very aware of the crisis.
After hearing Li Yu's patient teaching, Li Hang nodded seriously and said, "I understand, I will remember it."
"Okay." Li Yu nodded, and then communicated with everyone about the protection matters in the base.
The Tanggula Mountains in the west have turbulent waters and continue to converge downstream.
The mountains and forests on both sides of the upstream of the dam have been submerged in many places.
The wide lake surface is turbulent, as if it is in the ocean.
The strong wind swept the lake water and rushed down the river.
In the upstream, there is no trace of the dam at all, and the dam is completely submerged.
The dam is built very solidly, so there is no flood.
But even so, the water level exceeded 250 meters.
It was 70 meters higher than the dam.
The torrent rushed over the dam, as if it had passed over a relatively high baffle, and then rushed downstream.
The flood was surging.
The height of the sky and the earth was also infinitely shortened, as if you could touch the sky with just a stretch of your hand.
The waves hit the shore and flowed downstream. Wherever they passed, the low houses were directly washed down by the huge force of the water flow and scattered.
Even some taller houses collapsed because the foundations laid before the end of the world were not solid enough and the tofu dregs were built.
The tens of meters high buildings collapsed under the impact of the flood because of their poor quality.
The torrent carried these wood, bricks, steel bars, stones, and soil. Many houses collapsed along the way.
Above the flood, the rainstorm still did not stop. Under the double threat, many survivors who had finally survived until now also died.
The flood soon reached Shashi.
Orange Island.
On the Puhua Building.
Gan Hu, who was lying in a corner to rest, was sleeping and resting. There was nothing to see on this rainstorm day.
He was bold and hot-tempered, but also rough.
After handing over the task of observation to Yao Zuo, he lay in the corner and slept peacefully.
After all, he didn't know what to do under this rainstorm. If he was in the base, he could still find some people to do some entertainment activities.
Rumble---
Suddenly, he felt the building shaking.
He slowly stood up and saw that the window was full of people.
"What happened?" He shouted over there.
"Come and take a look, Brother Hu, I, I don't know what to say." A young man, with fear in his pupils, said with a trembling body.
Gan Hu walked over in confusion.
Two seconds later, even though he was very brave, his body began to tremble slightly.
I saw that in the upper reaches of the Xiangjiang River, a flood of tens of meters high was rushing towards them like a wave.
The speed was extremely fast.
The building was shaking because some buildings were knocked down by the flood.
The 28-story Puhua Building is already a relatively tall building here.
In fact, there are taller buildings than this one, but they are too lazy to climb. After all, there is no elevator now, and it is not easy to climb dozens of floors.
"Everyone, hurry up and find a handrail to hold on. The flood is coming soon." Yao Zuo shouted, and then he ran to the corner of the room farthest from the flood and hugged the load-bearing column next to him tightly.
As soon as the voice fell, everyone woke up from the shock.
They scattered like birds and beasts.
Gan Hu also immediately found a place, squatted down, and grabbed the legs of a table with his hands.
This kind of table is made of marble and looks very heavy. There should be no problem.
The flood came violently and swallowed Jiangxinzhou in an instant.
Then.
A huge force came, and the building seemed to have been hit hard.
But fortunately, this building is the headquarters of a famous consulting group in Shashi, famous for accounting consulting.
The quality of this building is quite high.
Gan Hu was inside the building and could clearly feel the building shaking left and right. Even after shaking, he could see with his naked eyes that the tabletop seemed a little uneven. This could only mean one thing, the building was crooked!
Before he could feel it all.
Bang, bang, bang!
The originally smooth flood encountered this stubborn building, and the water splashed.
Even some stone building debris mixed in the water was hit and hit the glass above the building.
A steel bar pierced the glass directly and flew into the room.
It went straight through the chest of an unlucky man and pierced the wall.
In addition, some other messy construction waste also smashed the glass into pieces.
Some of the survivors inside were knocked down and injured.
Hualala--
The water splashed by the building fell heavily into the flood again due to gravity.
Ten seconds later.
The dust settled.
Everyone was still in shock and did not dare to come out of their hiding places.
The unlucky guy who was stabbed to death by the steel bar just now was a lesson for us.
Everyone's eyes were filled with fear and despair. They did not expect that there would be such a terrible flood besides the heavy rain.
They had never seen such a scene in their lives, and they did not come back to their senses for a long time.
One minute later, someone finally came out of their hiding place.
Gan Hu also came out from under the table and saw that most of the glass had been broken and the ground was full of various garbage.
Suddenly.
Kacha--
A scream came: "Zombies! Zombies are hit!"
Shit! Gan Hu instantly felt that he was out of his mind.
The torrent was not as high as the building, so it was okay that the water splashed so high, and some construction waste carried by the torrent was also okay, but the zombies could be hit by the water.
"Don't panic!" Gan Hu quickly turned on the flashlight, holding a pistol in his right hand, and walked towards the place where the scream was just heard.
Soon.
He saw a zombie gnawing on the neck of a companion.
The zombie turned around, seeming to be a little uncomfortable under the light.
Roar——
A bloody mouth, long fangs, and some human body tissues were still stained.
Gan Hu quickly shot at the zombie.
Bang!
Unexpectedly, the zombie's movements were very sensitive. After a flash, he did not hit the zombie's head, but only hit the zombie's chest.
The white-skinned zombie, dripping with water, quickly rushed towards Gan Hu.
Gan Hu quickly fired again.
Click——
The gun jammed at this time.
Gan Hu's scalp went numb and his whole body went cold.
He saw the zombie, which was originally five meters away from him, suddenly rushed to two meters away.
So fast!
His legs went weak and he tried his best to control his body, falling back to avoid the zombie's attack.
But the zombie was only one meter away from him.
In the crisis, Gan Hu felt that time became thicker at this moment, and his whole life seemed to be playing in his mind like a slide show.
Desperate, there was no way to hide.
Bang!
A bullet accurately hit the zombie's temple from the side.
The zombie was hit by the bullet and instantly collapsed to the right.
Gan Hu looked gratefully in the direction of the shooting. It was Yao Zuo.
He held the gun with both hands. In a flash of lightning, he was soaked. The rainstorm drifted in from the window and wet his hair.
The rain on his hair fell drop by drop.
"Thank you! Fortunately, you shot, otherwise I would be dead!" Gan Hu said to Yao Zuo with gratitude after surviving the disaster.
Yao Zuo's eyes were firm, and he said to Gan Hu: "Brother Hu, are you okay?"
Gan Hu patted his thigh and said after feeling that it was not so soft: "It's okay."
Yao Zuo nodded immediately, walked to the window, and after being shocked for a few seconds, he said to Gan Hu behind him: "Brother Hu, come and have a look."
Gan Hu felt bad. His legs were numb and weak just now, and they have not fully recovered yet, but he forced himself to move over there.
Standing by the window, I saw that the flood outside had completely submerged the Orange Island. The Xiangjiang River had completely disappeared, and the cross-river bridge had also disappeared.
A ten-story house that was originally on the right side of their building also disappeared and was completely submerged.
The Puhua Building, which was originally on the 28th floor, was nearly 90 meters from the ground. At this time, they used their eyes to estimate that the height had been shortened by two-thirds.
In other words, the flood directly submerged more than a dozen or even twenty floors.
Hiss——
Gan Hu took a breath of cold air. In the lightning and thunder, he saw a vast ocean in front of him. The originally densely packed houses now only had a few dozen houses, and the bottom was submerged.
In the ocean, zombies were densely packed, like ants, covering the entire surface of the water.
At this time, a loud noise came from outside their door.
Boom!
After the dam was submerged, the flood was discharged.
From the west to the right.
Flowing eastward along the long river.
The riverside was the most affected, and almost all the cities on the riverside were submerged.
Jing City, Yue City, Wu City, and Chang City were hit by the powerful torrent one after another.
The tributaries were also hit by raging floods.
The two lakes of Dongting and Poyang overflowed instantly as the floods flowed in.
One lake flows to the Xiangjiang River, and the other flows to the Ganjiang River.
The middle reaches of the Changhe River.
Less than 300 kilometers away from Chang City.
Rao City.
The suburbs.
Sanqing Mountain.
Two thousand meters above sea level.
On a raised platform on the mountainside at a height of one thousand meters.
A small antique building hut stood in the storm.
Inside.
Xu Chengcai dropped an iron bucket, filled it with rainwater outside, and then burned it in the flames.
A room of less than ten square meters, plus the small warehouse hidden inside.
The total area is only twelve or thirteen square meters.
But now it has been neatly cleaned up.
Hanging on the wall are the clothes, blankets, and sleeping bags they picked up before.
In this hut, the southeast corner is relatively low, and there is also a small hole where water can be poured in.
Xu Chengcai and Xiaoyong were both dirty, with dirt in their nails, hard hair, and mud stuck on their faces
They had no time and no conditions to wash their bodies along the way.
You know, a few days ago, the temperature was still dozens of degrees below zero, and they didn't dare to take a shower. Even if they were extremely smelly, they didn't dare to clean their bodies for fear of catching a cold.
But in this hut in the rainstorm, the walls blocked the wind and rain.
The burning flames made this small space warm.
They wanted to wash their bodies.
Gurgle---
The hot water in the iron bucket has been boiled.
Xu Chengcai untied the dirty clothes, looked at the clothes that were washed and dried by the flames on the wall, and felt a little excited.
In the warehouse, he found a wire and a shoe brush, which he used to rub the dirt off his body.
