Chapter 680 Natural Disaster Level Super Heavy Rain [Big Chapter]

Xu Chengcai walked on the muddy path through a sparse forest.

The gloomy sky was low, and heavy rain poured down, accompanied by the roar of thunder and lightning.

He was wearing a shabby raincoat. Although it was soaked by the rain, he walked forward firmly.

The rain poured down mercilessly, wet his clothes, and made his body shiver uncontrollably. But he didn't give up because he knew that in such an environment, staying warm was crucial.

There is a decaying smell in the woods, and the moist soil mixed with old leaves creates a unique atmosphere. In this chaotic environment, Xu Chengcai's arms trembled slightly from the cold.

Finally, his gaze stopped at the place where several trees were intertwined.

He found a rotting tree branch that looked relatively thick. It was once a strong branch, but now it has been eroded by time and wind and rain to a fragile shell. In this raging rainstorm, it became the best choice for Xu Chengcai to keep warm.

He quickly grabbed the branch and hugged it without hesitation. Water dripped from the branches, and the wet wood exuded a rotten smell.

After walking two steps, he took the flashlight and saw two dry and dead young trees, the diameter of which was only the size of the mouth of a bowl.

He kicked it over, and the tree, which had died from the high temperature before, fell down with a crisp sound.

He took a rope from his waist, tied the branches and trees, and dragged it to the small grocery store not far away.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, making his vision gradually blurred, but fortunately, he was not far from the grocery store hut.

The branches dragged behind him were stained with muddy soil as they were dragged by him.

soon.

He walked outside the door of the grocer's hut.

Looking around, the dark mountain forest, accompanied by lightning, looked a little ghostly and terrifying, but he found no trace of zombies. The raindrops made a crackling sound on the eaves of the antique cabin.

The door is still the same as when he just left, it seems that Xiaoyong is fine inside.

"Xiaoyong! Help me get the firewood in!" He stood at the door and shouted towards the inside.

But maybe it was because the rain was so heavy that Xiaoyong didn't hear it.

His whole body was soaked by the rain, and he didn't want to stay in the rain for a second, so he simply broke the long pieces of firewood into several pieces at the door, and then opened the door.

"Huh?" His eyes instantly became tense. In this small space of less than ten square meters, the situation inside can be seen clearly at a glance.

But he didn't see Xiaoyong.

"Xiaoyong! Where are you?" The flesh on his face trembled unconsciously, just like his voice at this time, trembling slightly.

Obviously he was not far away, and when he was picking up firewood, he didn't see any movement here, and the door didn't move at all.

Where did Xiaoyong go?

His son is his only hope of living, he really can't imagine what he should do if Xiaoyong had an accident.

But just as he was about to run out of the hut, there was movement on the wall behind the shelf.

A small door was pushed open, Xiaoyong poked his head out from the inside, and shouted to Xu Chengcai: "Dad, I'm here, come over and have a look. Come here!"

Xiaoyong's face was full of surprises, as if he had seen something extraordinary.

The moment Xu Chengcai saw his son, his heart that was hanging in the air immediately hit the ground.

He rushed over, hugged Xiaoyong's head tightly, and said complainingly: "Why didn't you reply when I called you? You scared me to death! Don't run around, okay?"

He is now completely focused on his son. From the worry just now to the joy of finding Xiaoyong now, he didn't pay attention to where his son came from.

Xiaoyong was a little confused by this sudden fatherly love.

Struggling to break free from his father's embrace, he pointed to the small door and said, "There are surprises inside, Dad, come in and have a look."

Xu Chengcai noticed the small door when he heard what Xiaoyong said. He had to say that the small door was too hidden.

Behind the fallen shelf, and the small door is the exact same color as the wall, it blends in completely.

The door handle is completely invisible from the outside.

Rain dripped down from his clothes. He looked at the small door and his heart suddenly contracted violently.

This is in a grocery store. A small space, most likely a small warehouse, is opened to store some things.

Combined with Xiaoyong being so happy just now, then inside.

He quickly raised his flashlight, pushed open the small door, and rushed in.

hiss--

What he saw next shocked him.

It seems that the exhaustion of half a year has dissipated.

A small warehouse with a depth of only three meters and a width of only one meter.

It was full of all kinds of groceries.

Surprised, he ran forward to check.

What catches the eye the most is the barreled braised beef noodles, which is a box and a half.

Three boxes of potato chips.

There are four pieces of pure water, each containing 24 bottles.

Half a box of soda crackers, chocolates and two full boards.

Three pieces of various drinks,

Half a box of lollipops and a third of a box of corn sausage.

Four or five large packages of preserved fruits and pastries.

Half a box of candy and four cartons of cigarettes.

He seemed to be in a dream. He had just been collecting firewood in the woods, and he was still thinking about cutting the squirrel in half today and leaving half to eat tomorrow. After all, it was raining now and it would be difficult for them to find anything to eat when they went out. .

But what he discovered now was a super surprise gift package, which hit him directly on the head.

He quickly opened the box and checked the condition of the food inside.

He knew that it had been two years since the apocalypse broke out, and most of the things here had passed their shelf life.

But for them, it doesn't matter at all.

It won't die late, it's just that the shelf life has passed.

He opened the box of braised beef noodles and tore off the outer packaging, smelling the familiar smell of instant noodles.

"Crack, click, click -" a sound came from behind him.

He saw Xiaoyong tearing open the box of soda biscuits and wolfing down the soda biscuits.

In two or three mouthfuls, he stuffed a small box of crackers into his mouth, filling his whole mouth to the brim.

But when Xiaoyong swallowed, he choked.

His eyes stared outwards, and he patted his chest hard with one hand, but the other hand still held the crackers tightly.

Seeing this, Xu Chengcai felt distressed and amused at the same time. He quickly took a bottle of pure water from the right, unscrewed the bottle mouth, and poured it into Xiaoyong's mouth.

Gudong——

Under the moisture of the water, the biscuits slowly softened, and Xiaoyong swallowed them all.

Even though he was choked and rolled his eyes, Xiaoyong was not willing to spit out the food in his mouth.

These foods are so rare, it would be a shame to throw them up.

Xu Chengcai handed the water to Xiaoyong, patted his back, and said angrily and funny: "Eat slowly, I'm not trying to compete with you. Eat slowly."

Hurrah——

Xiaoyong took a deep breath, and his face that was flushed just now slowly returned to normal.

He nodded vigorously, looked at the instant noodles on the shelf, and said to his father, "I want to eat instant noodles."

As he spoke, he swallowed again.

Xu Chengcai rubbed his head, smiled and said, "Okay."

He immediately put down the flashlight, gave him a bucket of instant noodles, and reminded him, "Eat slowly."

However, he didn't even bother to close the door, so he took a bucket of instant noodles and ate them directly.

He hadn't eaten carbohydrates for a long time. Although this noodle was expired, it wasn't that chewy and was even a little soft.

But he ate very well.

I ate two buckets in one go, and then opened another bottle of canned fruit.

By the light of a flashlight.

The two father and son sat directly on the ground in this narrow space, one in front and the other in the back, eating the food wantonly.

The two of them had no appearance and no appearance of eating. They ate the food in big mouthfuls and threw the unpacked bags casually on the ground.

Accompanied by the sound of rain outside and the occasional sound of thunder, the two of them ate at an extremely fast speed.

Xu Chengcai has not eaten so happily for a long, long time.

His body was in a state of extreme hunger and thirst. At this time, it seemed that the long drought had met with nectar, nourishing his body.

Half an hour later, both of their stomachs were full.

In this case, after being hungry for two years, I can let go of eating all of a sudden, and no one can resist and stop eating.

I don't think about the future, I don't think about whether I will be strangled to death.

Just keep eating, just want to eat until you are full.

It seems that the matter of being full is already as far away as their previous life.

The two of them ate until they couldn't eat anymore, and then they lay limp and weak on the ground, panting slowly.

As if, this just came alive.

Under the light of the flashlight, Xiaoyong and his father looked at each other and smiled, and the laughter gradually became louder.

"Hahahahaha."

With a smile, Xu Chengcai's eyes turned slightly red.

I just patronized to eat, and I haven't felt that the weather has become so cold.

Although it is noon now, under the dark clouds and heavy rain, it is impossible to see that it is daytime from the outside.

He suddenly remembered that some firewood was still outside and had not been moved in.

He climbed up with difficulty, and then walked outside slowly.

After moving the wooden door away, he wanted to bow down and pick up the firewood.

But he was so full that he couldn't bend down at all.

He could only squat upright, and the heavy rain drenched his clothes again.

After moving twice, I finally carried all the firewood into a small grocery store.

He moved the wooden door back and blocked the entrance. Looking around, he saw a small refrigerator full of dust, and then he pushed the refrigerator firmly behind the wooden door.

He took off his wet clothes, wrung them dry, and spread them out on wooden shelves.

Then he looked up.

This grocery store is an antique building, and the roof is also poured with cement, but except for the four corners, the walls and the roof are not sealed with bricks, but a gap of less than five centimeters is left.

"It just so happens that this gap can emit burning smoke." Xu Chengcai nodded slightly and murmured.

He rummaged through his backpack, found the flint and steel, and wiped his hands.

To get your hands dry, shred those discarded dry cardboard boxes and set them on fire with a flint and steel.

A small flame ignited, and he moved carefully to the center of the small room, and added several larger cardboard boxes to it.

Kaka——

He dismantled the wooden shelf in two or three, piled it into a tripod, and burned it in the flames.

Looking at the slowly growing flame, he breathed a sigh of relief.

As he approached the flames, he felt his body gradually warming up.

Boom boom boom——

Thunder roared outside the small house.

The rain pattered on the stainless steel rolling shutter and wooden door next to it.

The entire hut gave them an extremely rare habitat in this dark storm.

The foundation of this small grocery store itself was raised by nearly one meter, and there were four or five steps below.

Although they are halfway up the mountain, at least they are at an altitude of 800 meters, and it is a protruding place on the mountainside.

The platform in front is one and a half meters shorter than the small house where they are.

A very small part of the rainwater that flows and collects from the mountains is absorbed by the land vegetation, and most of it flows to the low-lying areas under the mountains.

They were in a small house and could hear the water flowing down the mountain, but the foundation was too high to flood the small house.

The burning of the flame made Xiaoyong walk out of the warehouse inside the small door.

"Your clothes are also wet. Take them off and bake them." Xu Chengcai saw that Xiaoyong's clothes were also a little wet and said.

Then he rummaged through his luggage again, found two blankets, gave one to Xiaoyong, and covered himself with the other one.

He tidied up the small grocery store again, straightened the remaining hollow shelf that had fallen on the ground, and pushed some garbage inside to a corner. These things can be burned.

After doing all this, the small grocery store became much cleaner and tidier in the firelight.

Next to the fire, he made a shelf and put their wet clothes, socks and shoes next to it to bake.

Their mats and sleeping bags were placed on the ground. The two of them, one on the left and one on the right, sat on the sleeping bags with blankets wrapped around them, warming themselves by the fire.

Near the wooden door, some rainwater was blown in by the strong wind.

But the fire was relatively far away, so it wasn't affected.

Xu Chengcai tore open the cigarette box and greedily took out one cigarette.

Lit in flames.

But the first bite made him cough.

Listening to the crackling rain outside, the smoke slowly floated to the top, and then escaped through the five centimeter gaps on all sides.

The temperature of the room slowly increased.

Xiaoyong also nodded his head up and down and dozed off.

Although it was very windy and rainy outside, Xu Chengcai felt that it was extremely beautiful at this time.

Big camphor tree base.

Natural disaster level super heavy rain.

The sky was leaking and pouring.

Already at a relatively high position, Li Yu was on the wall, quietly watching the lightning and thunder outside.

Several hillsides not far away were covered in lightning, which was really visible.

It has been raining for six and a half hours since 5:30 in the morning.

It's twelve o'clock at noon.

Look into the distance.

Like the roar of the gods, the entire sky was shrouded in dark clouds. Dark clouds rolled in, lightning flashed, and heavy rain poured down mercilessly, like thousands of troops galloping past.

Far away from the base of the big camphor tree, deep in the mountain forest, a stream swelled rapidly, and the water was turbulent, like an enraged beast. Rolling rocks splashed from the foot of the mountain, mixed with branches and sand, forming a huge torrent, like a roaring dragon.

The rain beat mercilessly on the sparse tree branches, making a sound like a drum. The trees in the forest were constantly swaying under the ravages of the storm, as if they were struggling for their lives. The howling wind makes people feel as if they are in a natural war.

The torrent rushed down the hillside rapidly, bringing with it surging waves and roaring sounds.

The stream water that was originally filled with melted snow suddenly became turbid, rolling with ferocious momentum, swallowing up everything around it.

The vegetation on the hillside was messy and messy due to heavy rains. The roots of the trees were exposed, and the washed-out soil and rocks were swept into the torrent. Like a destructive force, wherever the flood reaches, there is chaos.

The rainwater gathered into a raging river, carrying violent power, breaking through all obstacles and rushing down the mountain. The river is turbulent, and the noisy current hits the river bank and splashes, as if it is releasing the wildness and power of nature.

The whole world seems to be occupied by rain, torrents and storms. The strong visual impact and the expression of natural power make people feel powerless.

In the inner city of Da Zhangshu base.

There are many drainage outlets.

Several of the drainage outlets are located at the foot of the mountains, like huge mouths open, waiting for the rainwater flowing down from the two mountains in the base.

The water slowly gathered into streams, hitting the edge of the drainage outlet, making a deafening roar.

The water flowed like a wild horse, rushing through the channel, trying to find an exit. The water is gathering momentum, converging into a raging torrent, and washing the drainage outlet with great force.

The fence of the drainage outlet was constantly trembling, as if it was in danger of being swallowed by the water at any time, but after Xu Zhen's reinforcement, although it was trembling, it was extremely stable.

The streams formed by the rainwater hit the fence and made a sharp friction sound, but they held their positions, stubbornly resisting the invasion of the water.

The drainage system of the entire base is opened to the maximum, and rainwater continuously collects to the low places, and then from the low places, it collects into the sewers.

Then it gathers into the wellhead sewer underground which is as high as a person.

When rainwater rushes into the drainage outlet, the water is forced through the channel chosen in the direction of the cliff, forming an amazing water column.

The water column broke through the rain curtain and sprayed high into the air, like a spectacular fountain. Water vapor permeates the surroundings, forming a hazy mist, adding a mysterious and spectacular atmosphere to the entire scene.

The cliff below the drainage outlet received the pouring water and instantly turned into a waterfall.

The water tumbles in the narrow channel, carrying powerful force as it rushes down.

The sound of water flow is like the roar of breaking waves, echoing among the cliffs and valleys, full of power and majesty.

Li Yu came down from the fence. Such a heavy rain had been falling for six hours.

He hasn't slept since last night, just feeling a little worried.

Three hours ago, he went to inspect the conditions of various drainage outlets and also checked whether there was any waterlogging problem in the base.

nothing.

Now that it had been down for so long, he climbed down the wall again to check again.

The rain screen limited the field of vision a lot.

Even with the light on, he could only see twenty meters away.

In the park, I watched the stagnant water slowly gather and be diverted to the sewer for discharge.

He went to the warehouse again and saw that there was no accumulation of water near the warehouse. It was flowing to the low places next to it.

Xu Zhen was also called by Li Yu to inspect the drainage situation together.

"Can our current drainage system withstand heavier rainstorms?"

Li Yu looked at the raging rainwater at the drainage outlet and shouted loudly to Xu Zhen beside him.

Xu Zhen leaned her ear closer and replied loudly:

"Okay, no problem. Although the rainwater looks terrible now, it is basically discharged through the sewer.

In addition, Mr. Li, I have opened the flood outlet of the Shantang Reservoir to the maximum. Although the water in the Shantang Reservoir is now being replenished by rainwater, more is flowing out than in, and the overall water level is still falling.

It is estimated that with the current discharge volume, the water inside can be drained out in less than a day. Do you want to turn down the drain? "

Li Yu thought for a while and said: "Then close it half way. You can watch it at any time. As long as the pond exceeds the warning line, open the drain channel wider."

Xu Zhen shouted in the rain: "Okay."

Li Yu checked it again and felt slightly relieved.

It had just rained heavily and it was impossible to tell whether there was no problem with drainage.

The heavy rain has been falling for six or seven hours, and the rainwater has already accumulated. There is no problem now, and there should be no big problems later.

I didn't sleep all night last night. I relaxed a little now and suddenly felt a little tired.

At this moment, his uncle's voice came from his headset: "Xiaoyu, there are a lot of zombies coming outside!"
