Chapter Twenty-Six: The God of Rain (Pseudo)
Li Sheng also saw on the plane that some of the herding workers were more than 10 kilometers away from their respective stations, and even on horseback, it would take them about 20 minutes to return to their stations. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info He would regret that he didn't let Zhang Feng call everyone back earlier. Now he can only hope that the workers will have time to return safely to the station before the heavy rain begins.
The sky changed quickly, and when their plane landed at the airport, strong winds began to blow, and the sky was already dark and dark.
Their car was still on the road, lightning appeared on the edge of the sky, and the electric snake cut through the dark clouds from one side of the sky and disappeared on the other side of the sky. A rainstorm is coming.
The rainstorm came faster than Li Sheng had imagined. The rain was pouring down, and their car began to fall before they could return to their living quarters.
At first, the raindrops hit the front glass like hail, and in less than a minute, the rain poured down from the sky like a river bursting its banks. The wipers on the car can only be faintly seen when the headlights are adjusted to the fastest.
Within a few minutes, a few centimeters of water had accumulated on the grass. Luckily, it's all flat, so they don't have to worry about getting lost, even if their vision is limited. At this time, the whole world is black and foggy, so that you can't reach out and lose sight of your fingers, but it seems as if it suddenly becomes night.
They finally returned to the living quarters, and Li Sheng drove the car directly into the garage. After the two got out of the car, they watched the waterfall-like water columns fall on the eaves. Thomas smiled wryly and said, "It seems to be raining more than I expected." ”
Li Sheng frowned and didn't say anything. They walked under the eaves in the direction of the door of the house. Luckily, the cabin was designed with rainy weather in mind, and there is a corridor between the garage and the gate. Otherwise, this distance of about 20 meters, they will all become soup chickens.
After Li Sheng entered the house, he directly took the phone and called Zhang Feng in the management area.
However, the phone is busy. He had no choice but to pick up the walkie-talkie: "Lao Zhang, Lao Zhang, I'm Li Sheng." Are all workers safe? ”
The other party answered: "Boss, three herding workers have lost contact. Their walkie-talkies may have been wet in the rain. ”
When Lin Ming heard this, his brows furrowed tightly. Of course, the loss of contact with the three workers does not mean that something has happened, and if it will rush people out to search, it will only put more people at risk: "What were they doing before they lost contact?" ”
"They were rushing to their respective stations before losing contact. Now that the rain is so heavy that I'm afraid they'll get lost. Zhang Feng's anxiety came from the walkie-talkie.
In such weather, Zhang Feng's worries are not superfluous.
In fact, that is also Li Sheng's biggest worry. He was on the headlights just now, but in the heavy rain, he only had visibility of twenty or thirty meters at most.
If it weren't for the road, and the fact that he could sense the wooden house, he might have gotten lost. In such weather, those three workers could miss a few hundred meters off the course.
As a last resort, he asked, "Where are they going to take shelter from the rain?" Can you get people to go out and find it? ”
Zhang Feng didn't know why he asked, but he still replied: "Two are rushing to Station No. 5, and one is rushing to Station No. 8." The current weather will not have an effect on sending people out to look for them, on the contrary, it may make the people sent out also dangerous. ”
The area of pasture in Silent Farm was too large, and Li Sheng divided the pastoral area into nine areas according to Zhang Feng's suggestion. Each area has a living area. These living quarters are the stations of the workers in the various pastoral areas. Each district is much larger than most towns in the country, and it is difficult to find a few workers who might otherwise get lost within that area.
The fifth station is located in the far south and the eighth station is located in the east. Li Sheng asked again: "Then what can you do now?" ”
"I've got the lights on all around the station, and I've had the flashlights hang outside. Hopefully they can see the light. ”
Lin Ming also knew that it was the best way he could think of now. If people go out and search now, it is completely looking for a needle in a haystack. With extremely low visibility, it is difficult to find people. Even if they don't worry about the sound waves causing thunder and lightning to shout loudly, they will not be able to catch their attention because the noise in the rain screen is too loud. And there are not many people in the ranch.
After a few more words, he put down the walkie-talkie. He walked out the door and looked out at the dark rain under the eaves of the gate. The rain was very heavy, and there was already more than ten centimeters of water in the yard. It had only been raining for less than ten minutes, and with a relatively good drainage system, the water was so deep that you can imagine how heavy the rain was.
The terrain of the entire ranch is very flat, and it takes time for rain to flow into the river, so it is inevitable that there will be stagnant water. However, this is also the difficulty faced by the few workers who remain in the field. In this kind of stagnant water, even some traces of trampling in the grass will disappear into the stagnant water, which will make it easier for them to miss the right direction back to the station.
Thomas also walked out, and when he saw Li Sheng looking at the heavy rain, he couldn't help asking, "Did something happen?" "Just now, Li Sheng's conversation with Zhang Feng was in Chinese, and he couldn't understand it at all, so he didn't know that any workers were in danger.
Li Sheng expressed his worries.
Thomas was also worried. Although this is tropical, the temperature is quite low under such heavy rain. Especially in this kind of rain, even if you are wearing raincoats, there is no way, those workers must be soaking wet. If they don't get to the station soon, they could really get lost in the rain. Then the heat on their bodies will disappear quickly, and it is likely that their lives will be in danger.
Such heavy rain is likely to fall for a few hours, and maybe even a day or two. With no food and no way to keep them warm, it's hard to keep the workers safe: "We have to find them as soon as possible." ”
Li Sheng also knows this, so he is thinking of a way.
"It would be nice if we knew where they were." Thomas frowned and thought for a while, but couldn't think of a way to get the best of both worlds, so he said bitterly.
Li Sheng listened to his words and secretly scolded himself for being stupid, it was difficult for others to find the person in the rain. But he could find them by sense.
He used all his strength to scan the sound near the wooden houses in the two areas that Zhang Feng said. However, he found that the energy wave was a bit disordered in the air, probably due to the large amount of water in the air. However, he soon mastered sensing the world in a state where water and air were mixed.
At this time, a lightning tree grew down from the dark clouds in the sky. Lightning only appeared in an instant, and the lightning that could be seen clearly in such a rain curtain proved that the lightning was not far away.
Sure enough, in less than ten seconds, a loud rumbling sound poured into the ears of the two. Li Sheng was even more anxious. As soon as the first one appears, there will be a continuous thunderstorm below. In such weather, the situation of the three workers who were walking on the flat ground was even more dangerous.
Luckily, he soon spotted two of the lost workers, who were riding their horses against the torrential rain. They weren't far from the cabin at the station, only about a kilometer, but they were off the beaten track. If they continue to go in the direction they are now, they will eventually see a big river.
Li Sheng didn't care about anything else, and condensed energy waves around them with all his might, and the air formed a protective film in a narrow range. Keep heavy rain out of the way. In doing so, he felt a tingling in his head, but he didn't release control of the air.
The two workers, who had been walking east from the northwest of Station No. 8, suddenly noticed that the raindrops no longer hit their raincoats, and their eyes were no longer confused by the rain. But five meters away from them, the rain was still falling.
One of them was stunned by this spectacle, and he said in a trembling voice, "Fifth brother, what the hell is this?" ”
The person who was called Fifth Brother was also frightened by the strange things that happened to him.
It was still pouring rain five meters around them, but there was no rain around the two of them. The most bizarre thing is that there is a two-meter-wide "alley" in the southeast of them, and the raindrops seem to be blocked by invisible eaves in mid-air, and they are forcibly separated. It seems to be to get them both to go in this defensive direction.
"Fifth brother, what should we do?" Seeing that his companion didn't speak, the other couldn't help but lean towards the fifth brother.
The fifth brother was more daring, and he just estimated that he was likely to deviate from the direction. Although it was very strange to have this scene now, the lightning in the sky made him dare not think about it: "Go this way." God is showing us the way. ”
He's also cheering himself up. Because he knew that if it was to harm him, even if he continued to move forward, they would not be able to escape. On the contrary, if it is to help them, then they will be saved. This chapter of gambling, he has no reason not to gamble.
