Chapter 36 is a difficult pace

"Boom" The huge wave hit Jiang Peng's body and directly swept him into the water.

Jiang Peng's body immediately rolled uncontrollably in the water.

The icy river water coupled with the strong current hit, Jiang Peng's breath almost leaked.

Fortunately, Jiang Peng often goes to sea cargo, and the water is excellent.

He knew that he must not be discouraged now, if he choked on the water, the water entered his lungs, and in this turbulent water, he had no room to resist at all.

Years of experience in shipping saved Jiang Peng, and he bit his lip tightly to prevent his breath from relaxing.

Then use all your strength to control your body and start paddling. Although he was hit by the waves, Jiang Peng quickly adjusted his body and groped in the dark water.

The momentum of the waves had weakened, and feeling the slowing down of the water around him, Jiang Peng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, stepped on the water with both feet, and swam towards the water.

On the other side, Jiang Yitong was not swept away by the huge waves because he had an inflatable life jacket and hugged the pillar at the intersection of Chinatown.

But when she opened her eyes and looked around, she couldn't find Jiang Peng's figure.

The torrential rain poured, the wind howled, and the rain splashed on the surrounding water, wetting Jiang Yitong's eyes.

"Jiang Peng!"

The darkness was dense, and the street lamps that were still flickering just now completely lost their last breath and completely lost their light.

Jiang Yitong was worried and scared, Jiang Peng was now without a trace, and he didn't know where he was washed away by the waves.

After shouting Jiang Peng's name for a while and not responding, Jiang Yitong had to start thinking about what to do next.

At this moment, there was a "poof" sound on the water, and a human head suddenly surfaced not far from Jiang Yitong, startling her.

Rubbing his eyes, Jiang Yitong took a while to see that the person was Jiang Peng.

"Jiang Peng!" Jiang Yitong held the pillar with one hand, shouting and waving at Jiang Peng with the other.

Jiang Peng wiped his face and quickly swam over.

"You're scared me to death, why haven't you come up for so long?" Jiang Yitong hugged the pillar, looked at Jiang Peng, who was approaching quickly, and shouted loudly.

Jiang Peng swam to Jiang Yitong's side, holding the column with one hand and blocking it in front of him with the other hand to cover the falling rain.

Jiang Peng vaguely saw the anxious dark color on Jiang Yitong's face, and felt a little more guilty in his heart, and at the same time, a strange feeling welled up in his heart.

How long has it been, how long has no one worried about themselves.

"I'm sorry to worry you. I just took a dip and the water level here is already two meters deep. The entrance to Chinatown is a downhill slope, and the water in it will be deeper, and the distance from the street entrance to my house is about a kilometer or so, can you?"

Listening to Jiang Peng's shouting, Jiang Yitong smiled.

"Who do you look down on, I'm not a weak lady. Isn't it just a kilometer, I still have a life jacket, little meaning. Jiang Yitong didn't say much, she also likes to exercise on weekdays, let alone swimming.

Although the current situation is a bit bad, Jiang Yitong still has a life jacket on his body, if this still becomes a burden to Jiang Peng, then Jiang Yitong's efforts over the years are in vain.

"Then you follow me, remember to call me if you have a situation. Jiang Peng took a deep breath and was about to start swimming, but was stopped by Jiang Yitong.

"What will you do if you run into the wave again?"

Jiang Peng pushed Jiang Yitong's hand away and made an OK gesture.

"I've seen more waves at sea than this, and I was defenseless just now, but you, if there are any more waves, you try to find a fulcrum and not be washed away. ”

After throwing off the handsome, after Jiang Peng finished speaking, he plunged into the water and began to swim towards Chinatown.

Jiang Yitong gritted his teeth, let go of the column, and followed.

As soon as I entered Chinatown, a heavy feeling immediately came over me.

At this point in time, in the past Chinatown, it must be full of people, bright lights, and bustling.

But now, the whole Chinatown is pitch black, and there is no sound around it except the sound of rain.

The shop on the first floor was basically flooded, but the rain still didn't stop.

Natural disasters are ruthless, and in the face of nature, human beings are still weak.

If the rain keeps falling like this, coupled with the tsunami at the dock, Jiang Peng estimates that it will not take half the night to flood the second floor.

Most of the houses in Chinatown are bungalows with less than three floors, and this kind of house has a shallow foundation and is the most vulnerable to being washed away by floods.

The most important thing is that the houses in Chinatown are already old houses, Jiang Peng is most worried about his own house, if Xiaohu has anything to say, Jiang Peng doesn't dare to think about it, he just wants to rush home as quickly as possible.

After entering the street, the more you swim into Chinatown, the faster the water flows, Jiang Peng and Jiang Yitong can be regarded as swimming against the current, and they have to pay double their physical strength.

When he was just halfway through the swim, Jiang Peng's thigh suddenly felt a sharp pain.

"Oops. Jiang Peng panicked in his heart and shouted, "Help me." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Peng's whole person sank to the bottom of the water.

Maybe it was because of the cold water, or maybe it was because of the high tension of the nerves, Jiang Peng's thighs cramped, and this time he was defenseless, Jiang Peng's mind was flustered.

"Gollum. Jiang Peng fell into the water and immediately choked on a mouthful of water, and the whole person was out of control.

"Oops. Jiang Peng's lungs choked on a mouthful of water, and immediately coughed violently, and a strong feeling of suffocation came at the same time, and the water poured in along Jiang Peng's nose and mouth.

Jiang Peng's strength up and down his body suddenly passed rapidly, and he couldn't control his body at all, and he was about to be swept away by the current.

Jiang Peng felt a trace of despair in his heart, the small lake had not been found, but he was about to sink in the river first.

At this moment, in the dark river, a slender but powerful arm appeared, grabbed Jiang Peng's hand, and pulled him to death.

"Jiang Peng, you are sober, hurry up, I am running out of strength. Jiang Yitong's voice faintly sounded in his ears, waking Jiang Peng up from the chaos.

He straightened his right leg hard, grabbed Jiang Yitong's hand, and with Jiang Yitong's strength, he surfaced.

On the surface of the water, Jiang Yitong wrapped his legs around the street sign and pulled Jiang Peng out of the water with the buoyancy of the life jacket.

"Whew, whew, whew. Jiang Yitong gasped, the water was turbulent, if she hadn't reacted quickly, Jiang Peng didn't know where she would be washed away.

"Cough, cough, cough. Jiang Peng threw himself into the water, coughing violently, his nose was sour, and even his eyes were sour.

The feeling of water in his lungs was so bad that Jiang Peng coughed for a while before it gradually subsided, but despite this, he still felt as if a boulder was pressing down on his chest.

"Jiang Peng, are you okay?" Jiang Yitong's voice came from the side.

"It's okay, it's fine. Sorry, I have a cramp in my foot. Jiang Peng slowly swam to the side of the street sign, grabbed the top of the street sign that was about to be submerged, and said slowly: "Hey, I still remind you...... I've dragged my feet instead, and I owe you my life. ”

Jiang Yitong snorted, stretched out his hand, wrapped the braid floating on the water around his neck, and said, "I'm a woman who doesn't let me shave my eyebrows, but you said it yourself, you owe me a life." ”

Jiang Peng grabbed the street sign, rested for a while, the thighs twitched a lot, and when he looked up, there were half-submerged signboards on both sides.

"It's almost there, it's not far away, let's keep swimming. Jiang Peng let go of his hand and said.

"You don't have a life jacket, slow down, I can't guarantee that I'll save you every time. Jiang Yitong said in Jiang Peng's ear.

"Well, I know, I was in too much of a hurry just now, and I moved a little bigger. Jiang Peng nodded, took a deep breath, and plunged into the water.

The river was cold, Jiang Peng controlled his body and swam forward, the current became more and more turbulent, and Jiang Peng's swimming speed became slower and slower.

"I can't give up! Xiaohu is still waiting for me. Jiang Peng said secretly in his heart.

"No, the water is too fast to move forward head-on, it will be washed away. Jiang Yitong's voice came from behind.

Jiang Peng stopped and turned around.

"Let's go to the side and find a place where I can help. Jiang Yitong pointed to both sides of the street, Jiang Peng nodded, the speed of the water is getting faster and faster, and it really can't be the front.

The convenience supermarket signboard next to the street has been half flooded, Jiang Peng and Jiang Yitong held on to the corner of the signboard, hiding under the eaves, and recovering their strength while sheltering from the rain.

"This is coastal flooding caused by typhoons, rainstorms and tsunamis. The sea water at the pier in Dochai City was affected by a typhoon, causing a tsunami. When a tsunami travels towards the coast, the nearshore water depth is shallow, and the tsunami can be large.

These tsunamis hit the pier and break into small waves that continue to spread radially towards the shore.

These broken waves add up to strong currents along the coast, combined with torrential rains, and finally flooding.

I have never seen a typhoon of this strength, and the tsunami caused by such a typhoon is quite powerful, and we have to get to the higher ground as soon as possible. ”

Hiding under the eaves, Jiang Yitong looked at the raging storm outside and said worriedly.

"Damn typhoon. Jiang Peng slapped the water and cursed.

"The current is already so fast that we can no longer swim forward from the front, and once we run out of energy and are carried away by the current, the consequences are unimaginable. Jiang Yitong calmly analyzed.

"Hmm......" Jiang Peng frowned slightly, and suddenly caught a glimpse of the signboard next to him out of the corner of his eye.

"Convenience store ......" Jiang Peng silently read the name of the signboard, and his eyebrows suddenly raised.

"What did you think of?" Jiang Yitong looked at Jiang Peng's expression and asked.

Jiang Peng reached into the water, fumbled for a while, and took out the mobile phone sealed in a plastic bag.

"What do you want to do?"

Jiang Peng turned on his phone, looked at it, sighed, and said, "Sure enough, there is still no signal." ”

However, he immediately turned on another function of the phone - a flashlight.

Jiang Peng turned on the flashlight, wrapped the plastic bag tighter to prevent water leakage, and tested it in the water, although the effect was limited, but he could see the distance within one meter.

"I'm going to go into the convenience store and see if I can find something useful. Jiang Peng sniffed, looked at the glass window that had been broken by the water, and was eager to try.

"This is too dangerous, the first floor of these shops has been completely submerged, you ......" Jiang Yitong wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Jiang Peng.

"It's a little thing, I just need to go back and forth a few more times to change the air. After Jiang Peng finished speaking, he took his mobile phone and dived into the water.

"Be careful......" Before Jiang Yitong could speak, Jiang Peng's figure had already entered the convenience store through the glass window.

Human beings are always small in the face of nature.

Just like now, in the face of typhoons, tsunamis and floods, Jiang Yitong feels a deep sense of powerlessness.

The water level was still rising, and when Jiang Yitong meditated in his heart for about 100 seconds, the water surface surged, and Jiang Peng's figure turned out of the water.

"Whew, whew, whew. Jiang Peng took off the mobile phone in his mouth and gasped.

"How's it going?" Jiang Yitong hurriedly asked.

"Wait a minute, you drink some water first. Jiang Peng took out a few bottles of mineral water, unscrewed it and drank one bottle in one go, and handed the rest to Jiang Yitong.
