Chapter 684: Floods Overwhelm the Dam, Countdown to Flood Disaster!
Sand City Center.
Orange Island Head.
I set off from the Western Conference a few days ago and just arrived here. I was shocked to find that Orange Island Head had been destroyed.
Bullet holes can be vaguely seen on the ruins of the walls, and one can deduce how fierce a battle broke out!
In the wind and rain, Gan Hu found a decoration that his third brother Gan Shang often wore at the foot of a triangular wall next to a burnt black human bone.
At this point, the fact that the third brother Gan Shang died was verified.
When they arrived at Shashi, it was already evening and almost nightfall.
Instead of returning to the Western Alliance immediately, he stayed in Shashi for one night, thinking that he would go back when the weather was better during the day and the sun came out.
Unexpectedly, as soon as it stopped, heavy rain followed one after another, getting heavier and heavier.
The sun did not appear as they expected. Instead, under the heavy rain, the sky became as dark as night.
As a last resort, we could only find a place near Chengzi Island to take shelter temporarily.
The heavy rain has lasted for three days and three nights. Under the heavy rain, zombies rioted, posing a great threat to Gan Hu and the others.
Puhua Tower.
28th floor.
There was a heavy rain pouring outside the window, and the glass windows were constantly hit by the strong wind and the rain, making a crackling sound.
indoor.
Gan Hu stared at the middle-aged man in front of him. The middle-aged man was tied up with ropes and fixed to a chair.
"You said, a few months ago, someone drove an armored vehicle to bombard Chengzizhoutou. Who were they?" Gan Hu asked the middle-aged man in front of him with sharp eyes.
The middle-aged man said weakly: "I have told you everything I know. I did see some people bombarding Chengzizhoutou. They were extremely powerful, wearing uniforms, and stayed near Chengzizhoutou. It lasted for a few days, and then several cars that came from unknown sources were also wiped out by them.
After that, they went east, and I really don't know who they were. After all, it was too scary at the time, and I didn’t dare to get too close. I really only know so much. I’ve told you everything, please let me go. "
There were traces of being whipped all over his body, and it looked like he had been tortured quite a bit by Gan Hu and the others in the past two days.
Hearing what this middle-aged man said over and over again, Gan Hu lost control and whipped the whip in his hand.
Snapped!
The whip hit the middle-aged man's face, and a bloodstain soon appeared on his face.
"How could you not know! You must know who they are!?" Gan Hu looked like a madman, roaring hysterically.
The middle-aged man wailed feebly: "Even if you beat me to death, I really don't know who they are."
After Gan Hu saw the death of his third brother, he became even more angry.
He originally ran over happily, expecting to see his third brother whom he had not seen for a long time. But when he came over, he only found a messy orange island and the blackened bones of his third brother.
Full of expectations, he was greeted by a critical blow. This huge sense of disparity made him unable to control his emotions.
All he wants now is revenge and killing those who killed his third brother.
However, a survivor who happened to be found here claimed to have seen scenes of the battle at that time, but now told him that he didn't know who those people were. How could this help him calm down emotionally.
After asking for so long, I still don’t know.
Gan Hu's anger could no longer be controlled. He pulled out the dagger from his thigh and angrily planned to kill the middle-aged man.
A man in black clothes next to Gan Hu had thoughts flashing in his eyes. Seeing that Gan Hu was about to kill the man, he quickly walked over and stopped him.
As if he was also afraid that Gan Hu would hurt himself impulsively, the man in black clothes did not dare to get too close.
"Brother Hu, please calm down. I have thought of some questions, and maybe I can find the answers you want."
When Gan Hu heard this, his eyes changed slightly, and he stared at him and said, "Yao Zuo, what do you want to ask?"
"Brother Hu, put down the dagger first. The question I asked is very simple. If it doesn't work later, it's not too late for you to kill him." Yao Zuo said to Gan Hu.
Gan Hu suppressed the killing intent in his heart and snorted, "Okay. Try again."
This Yao Zuo is considered a figure who is relatively valued by his father in the Western League, so I give him some face.
Yao Zuo cleared his throat, walked up to the middle-aged man, and said gently: "I'm going to ask you a few questions, and you must answer them honestly and cooperatively. As you saw just now, Brother Hu's patience is no longer enough. If you It won’t do you any good to hide it any longer.”
The middle-aged man opened his eyes in horror: "I really told you everything I know. I didn't hide what you asked. I dare to swear to God."
"Swear to God?" Yao Zuo was immediately amused by this sentence.
These days, if you swear to God, it will be of no use to you to swear to earth.
After smiling, Yao Zuo stared into his eyes and said seriously: "You only need to answer a few questions. If you answer them well enough, maybe Brother Hu can let you go."
"Say." The middle-aged man endured the pain in his body and said.
"First question, do you remember the car they were driving and what the license plate showed?"
! ! ! !
Gan Hu, who was listening with his ears perked up, almost clapped his hands when he heard Yao Zuo's question.
The reason why the middle-aged man was forced to confess was to find out who those who attacked Chengzizhoutou were.
He just said to leave to the east, east? There are so many provinces in the east, who knows where he is talking about.
It doesn't matter if you can't recognize it, but you can infer one or two from the license plate number.
Besides, according to what this person said, there were a lot of people coming, so there were also a lot of vehicles.
With excitement on Gan Hu's face, he stared directly at the middle-aged man.
Yao Zuo also looked at him quietly.
The middle-aged man seemed to be lost in memories. He thought for a while before he said: "I can't see clearly, but I remember there are several main license plates. Guangdong A, Gan B, and Fujian C. These are the main license plates, because It’s ABC, so I remember it more vividly.”
When Gan Hu heard this, he became a little impatient for a moment. What the hell are you talking about? ?
However, Yao Zuo did not have any emotional fluctuations because of his answer. He seemed to have expected it and asked again: "Where is the license plate you see most?"
The middle-aged man frowned and said: "It's about the same. I didn't dare to get too close and the distance was relatively far. I took a telescope and just took a quick look. It was mainly those three places. By the way, I also I saw a Xiang L license plate.”
Yao Zuo calmly took out the map, and then drew a circle at the location mentioned by the middle-aged man just now.
And when he drew the Guangdong A, Gan B, Fujian C, and Hunan L, he already had a rough inference in his mind.
The license plates in these places all revolve around one center, which is Gan B.
Generally speaking, the scope of activities in the apocalypse is all in the periphery.
And, because there are abandoned vehicles on the roadside, you can buy them for zero yuan at any time.
From the license plate mentioned by the middle-aged man, the scope of activities of that force can be deduced, and based on this, the place where that force is most likely to be stationed can be deduced.
At this point, the general scope has been deduced and narrowed down to the scope of a city.
At the very least, searching in several provinces in the apocalypse is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Gan Hu looked at the circles Yao Zuo had drawn, and drew a triangle in the center of the circles.
He was immediately overjoyed. He was worthy of being a person favored by his father. His brain was really good.
Look around and find problems from some details.
However, this was not over yet, Yao Zuo asked again: "Second question, how many people did they come?"
The rain was pouring outside the window, and they were hiding from the crazy zombies below on the high-rise building.
The zombies knew they were here, after all Gan Hu had brought dozens of people.
This scale of popularity is easy to spot in front of the strengthened zombies in the rainstorm.
Moreover, the original Chengzizhoutou was in the center of Shashi, and they were very close to the Xiangjiang River.
Zombies love water and humidity.
This caused a large number of zombies to rush towards them.
With the heavy rains in the past few days, the banks of the Xiangjiang River have been completely submerged.
Even underneath the building they were in, two floors had been flooded.
There is one condition required for stacking zombies: the bottom must be stable.
In the flood, zombies are floating and cannot be stacked.
This is one of the reasons why they are still able to survive to this day.
Looking out from the window, all the land we see is covered with rainwater and is a vast expanse of water.
Terrifying zombies, illuminated by lightning in the darkness, kept swimming toward them.
In the blink of an eye, whatever they looked at made them frightened and they no longer dared to stay at the window to watch.
Hundreds of kilometers away from them.
During the violent storm, the water surface on the dam was like waves, picked up by the strong wind and slapping against the dam wall.
Rumble——
A flash of lightning illuminates the scene around the dam.
The outlet of the dam was opened by someone unknown, and like a water dragon, majestic water spewed down.
But the heavy rain was really too heavy. In addition, the weather warmed a few days ago and the snow melted. The surge of water in the upper reaches overwhelmed the dam.
The water that drains out is far inferior to the water that comes in.
The water level of the dam has already exceeded the maximum capacity and is still rising.
soon.
The water level of the flood has reached the level of the dam.
The dam could no longer contain the flood. At this time, the flood overflowed the dam and flowed downstream.
Another huge wave hit the dam, crashing~
It directly flooded the entire dam and flew high below.
The nearly two-hundred-meter-high dam held tens of billions of cubic meters of water. At this moment, it was instantly swallowed up by the flood.
The flood water did not reach the dam, and it fell hard at a height of 100 meters.
Swish——
The flood carried the sediment and rushed downstream in a mighty manner.
At this time, some villages and towns downstream of the dam have been completely submerged by floods and have become a land of swamps.
The flood was mighty and turbulent, with huge waves more than two hundred meters high rolling down.
After the dam was submerged, the water accumulated in the dam overflowed the dam without restraint.
Jing City, which is less than dozens of kilometers away from the dam, was completely flooded within two hours of the dam being submerged.
The water flow is very fast. At the current speed, it is estimated that it will not take 5 hours to reach Shashi.
However, Gan Hu and others at the head of Orange Island in Shashi didn't know all this. At this time, Gan Hu was immersed in hatred and began to plan to go and find out after the rainstorm ended.
Western Alliance.
The rainstorm put the entire Western Alliance in a dangerous situation.
Because the base was built too hastily and the drainage planning was not reasonable, serious waterlogging has occurred in the base.
In the base, the water has not reached the height of the waist, and even in some lower places in the base, the water has reached a height of two meters.
Gan Xiong was also very anxious. Just last night, the warehouse where they stored grain was flooded.
In desperation, he had to let Tian Sheng lead people to move all the grain in the warehouse to his building.
In the rainstorm, most of the grain was soaked. If it is not exposed to the sun in the next few days, it will easily become moldy and smelly.
In addition, there are more and more zombies outside the wall. I didn't sleep all night yesterday just to resist the attack of zombies.
This time the rainstorm was very heavy, and people's vision was greatly affected.
Such a heavy rainstorm made the zombies extremely excited and attacked the Western Alliance tirelessly.
"How much did we lose last night?" Gan Xiong was soaked all over and sat on the sofa, no longer able to see his previous demeanor.
Gan Long said hoarsely: "Last night, we lost nearly 100 people."
In the rainstorm, communication depends entirely on shouting. I was shouting all night yesterday to make up for it, and now my throat is dry.
"Alas" Gan Xiong said nothing, sighed, and then stopped talking.
"Dad." Gan Long seemed to have something to say, but felt that if he said it, his father would be angry.
But he still said, "Xiaohu and the others should be at the head of Chengzi Island now. I wonder what their situation is now."
Gan Xiong heard this and said angrily, "I told him not to go at the beginning, don't go! Look now, it's raining so hard, I'm worried, if the dam can't hold, we are fine, after all, we are upstream, but they are just downstream, so close. If it really collapses or the water is flooded, then they..."
Gan Long obviously didn't consider this, and his heart suddenly lifted.
Under the heavy rain, there was a panic in the base.
Big camphor tree base.
The rain kept falling.
It has been raining for several days in a row. Li Yu stayed on the wall until he came back to rest last night.
Li Yu, who was tired, slept for sixteen hours.
When he woke up, it was still dark.
Looking at the time, it was already the evening of the 23rd.
Speculating the speed of the flood, if it is the same as in the previous life, the dam was flooded, there was no obstruction, and the flood rolled downstream.
It should be within the next two days that the camphor tree base will face a super flood.
Thinking of this, Li Yu hurriedly got up, but when he just stood up, he felt dizzy and was too hungry.
Put on dry clothes, ran downstairs, and hurried to eat something.
Under the heavy rain, the water level of the lake under the cliff is also rising.
Fortunately, at least the location of the camphor tree base is relatively high in altitude, and the water flows to the lower place, and the outside of the wall has not been flooded yet.
