218. Flash floods erupted
The flood came so fast that the agile Clark didn't have time to react.
He realizes something is wrong when he sees the river swelling in the distance, but he still has no time to escape the sudden flood.
The first wave toppled the wooden door of the camp and broke the sturdy wooden door through the clay wall, and the heavy wooden door looked like an inconspicuous building block under the impact of the flood, and there was no resistance at all.
Then a more violent second wave came from the direction of the river, and this time the clay wall that Chen Zhe had worked so hard to build could not withstand the power of the flood.
This wave of flood rushed down from the distant mountain, converting a large amount of gravitational potential energy into kinetic energy, and the powerful impact force directly slapped on the clay wall, directly knocking down the row of clay walls in front.
Boom ββ!
The deafening sound was like the sky cracking, and the whole person in the cabin was startled.
She hurriedly threw down the banana in her hand and looked out the window vigilantly.
"What's going on? Mr. Clark?"
Liatila asked nervously.
When she looked up, the first thing she saw was a messβthe clay walls of the camp had collapsed on one side, the wooden doors had disappeared, and the muddy water had poured into the camp, and Liatila couldn't even tell if it was river or rain.
Clark was directly knocked to the ground by the flood, and he was already soaking wet at this time, and he should be glad that the clay wall built by Chen Zhe had resisted a lot of the impact for him, so that the current that rushed against him had become less powerful.
If there was no clay wall for Chen Zhe, if the flood had been slapped on his body head-on, then no matter how strong his body was, it would have been smashed into a shattered fracture......
In the blink of an eye, the flood poured into the camp with an irrepressible momentum, and Liatilla wanted to rush into the courtyard to help her partner, but the continuous churning water made it difficult for her to walk an inch, and she could not even get out of the cabin.
Soon, the flood water poured directly into the cabin, and the water in this place was already up to the calves, and it was about to reach the knees.
Clarke, who collapsed in the flood, was at first embarrassed, drinking a few sips of muddy sewage, but he quickly struggled to his feet and held on to the walls of the cabin to keep his balance.
"Don't come out, Miss Liatila, it's safe in the cabin for the time being......"
He said with a painful expression,
"Oh, it's really damn, I didn't expect to be right by Chen Zhe this time, and there was really a flash flood......"
Hearing this, Liatila recalled what Chen Zhe had said about a week ago.
At that time, he predicted that there would be a flood on the island, and also asserted that this camp would become the hardest hit area of the flood disaster, which is why Chen Zhe resolutely abandoned this beautiful, exquisite, and functional camp, and moved to the mountain with great difficulty.
Liatila originally chose to believe Chen Zhe and decided to follow his example to avoid the flood, but the stubborn Clark didn't listen, saying that there would be no danger here.
Looking at the flood that had already submerged his calves at this time, and Clarke, who was covered in mud by the flood, Liatila sighed softly-
"If I had known, I had followed Chen Zhe's advice before, wouldn't there be no such trouble?"
β¦β¦
Meanwhile.
In the live broadcast room of Wilderness Survival.
The camera is still locked on Liatila's group, and the camera guy just now accurately captured the first scene of the flood breaking down the camp, and Clark was overturned in the flood and drank a few sips of the flood.
Later, because the aftermath of the flood affected the camera brother, the camera brother also fell to the ground, and the camera lens shook for a while, and finally thanks to the little brother's desperate protection, he didn't fall into the water.
This scene of chaos also accurately reflects the horror of the flood.
The netizens who were still sighing "the years are quiet" and "Xiaoli is so beautiful" in the last second were caught off guard by the sudden disaster in the next second.
The wind direction of the barrage has finally changed:
"It's terrible, is this the wrath of nature?"
"The flood came too suddenly!"
"Such a strong clay wall, wild boars can't collapse, and it actually collapses directly......"
"Clark, a person as tall and big, actually washed him down directly!"
"It seems that Chen Zhe is right again, there is really a flood disaster. β
"Chen Zhe is wise to leave this camp. β
"The expert surnamed Song just now also said that Chen Zhe regretted it? He regretted it! It was Clark and Liatila who should regret it, as well as this expert surnamed Song!"
"When did Chen Zhe miss it? Only he slapped someone in the face. β
ββ¦β¦β
Seeing the comments of netizens, Ms. Song, a wildlife expert, had a very ugly face.
Just now, she did say that Chen Zhe's decision to abandon the camp was a "wrong decision", and that Chen Zhe must now "regret it very much".
Originally, she saw that Chen Zhe and Da Qiao were in the tent yesterday, but Liatila and Clark were comfortable in the cabin, and felt that she had slapped Chen Zhe in the face, but now it seems that she was too naΓ―ve.
Chen Zhe's inference was completely correct, the flood disaster did come, and his camp did not avoid the flood, after all, the camp was too close to the water source.
At this time, the host Zhu Ranran cleared his throat and said, "Wow...... The flood came so suddenly, I didn't expect a flash flood today, and I don't think Clark and Liatira thought they were either......"
Some netizens couldn't help but complain:
", Clark was washed into the water, and he would have been washed into the water if he thought about it?"
"Flash floods are all sudden, say hello to you in advance and then break out, is it still a flash flood?"
"It's not sudden at all, Chen Zhe told you last week that there would be a flash flood, but if you don't listen, who can blame you?"
ββ¦β¦β
Looking at these barrages, Zhu Ranran's face was also a little ugly, but her psychological quality was still good, and she immediately admitted Chen Zhe's extraordinary.
It seems that the flash flood was predicted correctly by Chen Zhe last week, he had predicted that there would be a flash flood on the island, and he moved the camp in time, taking his food, animal skins and companions to the mountains, and now it seems that his decision was wise. β
"yes. At this time, another commentator, Professor Ma, a wilderness survival expert, nodded and said, "Chen Zhe's decision is not only wise, but also very far-sighted, and his decision-making is also very courageous, and he has not been influenced by the persuasion of others......
Professor Ma was one of the first people to support Chen Zhe's migration camp, and at that time, Zhu Ranran and Ms. Song felt that Chen Zhe was a little unfounded and made a big fuss, but Professor Ma felt that Chen Zhe's decision was correct.
Now seeing that the flood really broke out and flooded Chen Zhe's previous camp, Professor Ma also had a feeling of raising his eyebrows, and even felt honored.
He smiled and said, "I remember that many people were skeptical of Chen Zhe's inference at that time, and even thought that Chen Zhe was stupid to give up such a good camp, what about now? Time will tell."
If Chen Zhe hadn't left the camp in time, then his food, hides, and other resources would have been overwhelmed!
didn't listen to Chen Zhe's persuasion, and insisted on cherishing Chen Zhe's camp, isn't the group of Liatilla and Clark eating bitter fruits?"
Hearing Professor Ma's triumphant comments, Ms. Song couldn't help but be annoyed.
Because in her opinion, every word of Professor Ma seems to be directed at her.
But even though she was very angry, Professor Nama was helpless.
After all, Professor Ma chose the right side, he supported Chen Zhe, and Ms. Song chose the wrong side, she is now the one who was slapped in the face.
Even if she was angry in her heart, she could only swallow this evil breath into her stomach.
β¦β¦
The flash flood came and went as fast as it came, and the flood that baptized the entire island ended in a short time.
A large amount of flood water overflowed from the lake at the top of the mountain, mainly along a few waterways down the mountain, and a considerable part covered other parts, but finally all hit the bottom of the mountain.
Some plains near the volcano were the main victims of the flood, including Chen's camp.
Because the camps below the mountains are often built close to the water source, this means that the flood will definitely hit them.
In fact, from ancient times to the present, the relationship between human civilization and floods is also the same.
Although we know that the Yangtze River and Yellow River basins often have floods during the rainy season, people always inevitably choose to live by the river, because freshwater resources are the foundation of life, and human reproduction and life are inseparable from water.
The camp at the foot of Chen Zhe Mountain was directly flooded, and the depth of the water was already up to people's knees.
It was impossible for Liatila and Clark to stay any longer, as even the large bed in the cabin was flooded......
However, because a large amount of flood water remained in this area, the rest of the flood water poured into the sea along the river, so that the places closer to the sea were not invaded by the floods, such as the tent set up by Chen Zhe and Da Qiao.
At noon, Chen Zhe heard a strange movement on the island, which sounded quite terrifying, so he put on a jacket and braved the light rain to get out of the tent and go outside for a circle.
From a distance, you can see that there seems to be a flood flowing down the mountain in the distance, and you can observe that the river next to it has become much wider, combined with the current situation and the amount of precipitation in the past few days, Chen Zhe probably guessed what happened on the island.
Back in the tent, Da Qiao asked worriedly, "Chen Zhe, what's going on outside, why does it sound so loud......
"It should have been a flash flood. Chen Zhe calmly explained, "There are traces of flooding on the mountains in the distance, and the nearby rivers have widened a lot, and it should be that there is too much water in the lake on the top of the mountain, which crushed the surrounding embankments and leaked out, which caused the flood." β
"So that's ......" Da Qiao nodded slightly, and then asked nervously, "That...... Will Yan'er and Mengfei be in danger?"
"Of course not. Chen Zhe said, "The reason why I chose the camp on the mountain is to prevent floods, and the big banyan tree will not fall down easily because it has been baptized by hundreds of floods." β
"That's good. Da Qiao breathed a sigh of relief and said.
At this time, Chen Zhe added: "It's just that Liatila and Clark's group may be affected." β
"Huh?" Da Qiao was a little worried, after all, the last contact with Liatilla was quite pleasant, "What then?"
"There's nothing you can do. Chen Zhe shrugged, "It was they who decided to stay in the camp, and if they made their own decisions, they would have to bear the consequences." Moreover, the flood has already erupted, and the disaster is only a matter of moments, even if we want to support them, it will be too late. β
"I hope they are safe, human power is small in the face of natural disasters, I hope everyone can be lucky to avoid disasters......" Da Qiao prayed in a low voice.
Chen Zhe nodded, then walked out of the tent, looked at the rain outside, and said, "It looks like this rain will not stop today, and we will probably have to wait until tomorrow to get on our way."
But that's fine, there has just been a flash flood and the trail is definitely difficult to walk, so instead of risking the risk of going up the mountain, it is better to stay on the beach for another night. β
"Live again...... One night?"
Da Qiao recalled what happened last night, and the many sea cucumbers he had eaten during the day today, and his heart couldn't help but feel worried, and his cheeks became red.
Chen Zhe looked at Da Qiao's flushed cheeks and asked curiously, "Why do you see that your face is a little red, you don't have a fever, right?"
After that, he walked over and stretched out his hand to touch Da Qiao's white forehead.
Da Qiao hurriedly whispered, "Hmm...... No fever, just ...... It's just a little hot, maybe it's too stuffy on a rainy day. β
Chen Zhe didn't doubt it, and said with a smile: "I'm not afraid of the stuffy heat, I see that the rain is getting smaller and smaller, and it should stop in the evening, just when the tide is low, let's go to the beach to pick up some seafood for dinner." β
"Okay, okay!"
Hearing this, Da Qiao hurriedly nodded happily in agreement,
"It just so happened that we had all the food in the tent, and we picked up some seafood and came back for dinner and tomorrow's breakfast. β
Chen Zhe nodded, but he was pondering in his heart-"I can't let Da Qiao pick up sea cucumbers anymore for a while, abalone is not good, and oysters and the like must not be wanted."
Otherwise, last night's bridge will happen again, but it will not necessarily cause any consequences. β
Thinking of this, Chen Zhe coughed and said, "Ahem, I suggest that we pick up some crabs or squid at night, and it's better not to eat sea cucumbers or something." β
"Ah!" When Da Qiao heard this, her originally crimson cheeks became even redder, of course she understood what Chen Zhe meant, but she just tacitly understood it, and quickly nodded and said, "I approve! I raise my hands in favor!"
Speaking of which, it just so happened that the rain outside had become much weaker.
The surging tide on the beach in the distance is a symbol of low tide.
Chen Zhe pointed in the direction of the seaside and said, "Okay, now you can go out." β
After that, he picked up Da Qiao's jacket and handed it to her, Da Qiao put on the jacket, picked up the small wooden barrel used to hold seafood, and followed Chen Zhe out of the tent.
