Chapter Twenty-Seven: The World After the Rain

Here, Li Sheng saw that they only paused for a while and walked in the direction he indicated, and his heart was half relieved. Without the impact www.biquge.info of the heavy rain, the two workers were able to return to their stations soon.

But he hasn't found the last person yet. He expands the scope of the Great Search. Finally, the worker who was walking alone in the torrential rain was found.

It is still two kilometers away from Station Five. And in his current direction, it is also very likely that he will miss the station. He still showed him the way in the same way.

A few minutes later, Zhang Feng's voice sounded on the intercom: "Boss, good news boss." Two workers who had lost contact with them had already returned to their premises. ”

He walked over and coped with a few sentences. The last one was also following his guidance towards Station Five. His face was already a little pale. It was a very big burden for him to condense for a long time, and his headache was about to explode. Fortunately, it took ten minutes at most for the last worker to find a station.

Thomas noticed that his face was not very good, thinking that he was worried about the safety of the workers, and said, "Lee, I think you need to take a break now." I think God will protect them. ”

Li Sheng smiled and said, "Yes." I think Heaven will bless them. Two of the workers, who had lost contact, have returned safely to their premises. ”

"This is good news. Thomas laughed, but didn't really laugh. Because there is another worker who doesn't know where he is now.

After a while, Li Sheng finally relaxed completely, went back to the house, made a pot of hot tea, and said, "Let's have a cup of tea together." It's the first time I've encountered such heavy rain. ”

"Heavy rains like this are not common in the Amazon either. ”

At this time, Zhang Feng's excited voice came out of the walkie-talkie again: "Boss, everyone is safe." The last worker, who had lost contact, also returned safely. ”

Li Sheng smiled and said, "That's good." Let them pay attention to the body. ”

Outside the window, there was a burst of light. Less than three seconds later, the deafening thunder made the windows tremble. I didn't know that the big tree nearby was unlucky. The pastures have been cut down, but there are still some worthless trees or a small patch of forest left in their place. These trees are lightning rods in such weather.

………………

A rare heavy rain fell for almost three days. The impact of this rain on farms and pastures is very large.

Not only for the farm, but also for the village of Olichmina.

When the rain finally stopped, Li Sheng and Babur drove through the grassland, leaving deep ruts in the grassland, and the heavy rain soaked the mud in the pasture.

When they arrived at the airport, they quickly flew into the sky in a beautiful circular rainbow around the sun.

When they flew into the sky, they found that the whole ranch felt a little unrecognizable.

The river, which was originally no more than 300 meters on both sides, was more than seven or eight kilometers wide, and it was very conspicuous in the sun.

They flew to the east and found that the river had overflowed the embankment and that several kilometers of grassland had been submerged. On the other side, Olichmina was completely surrounded by a large murky river, and the village that had been on the bank became a floating raft in the center. Depending on the situation, the depth of the water there is at least more than two meters.

But luckily, their houses are all floating rows.

The village of Olichmina is deep in the jungle and certainly knows how to cope with the rainy season. But the rain was so heavy that it was unexpected. Heavy rain and strong winds have broken some of the village's floating rafts. In the sky, he saw villagers waving at their planes.

Babur said to Li Sheng: "It seems that they are in trouble. ”

Li Sheng knows that life in the jungle is not easy. But for the indigenous people, if they are not really in trouble, they do not need to call for help.

Babur flew around the village and said: "Many of their ships seem to be missing. Maybe it was the high winds that blew their boat away. There are also some floating rows that are also damaged. ”

Boats are a necessary tool for these villagers to survive. Without boats, they can't fish.

Li Sheng picked up the walkie-talkie: "Anthony." Call Anthony. ”

Anthony was listening. Lee, please. ”

"The village of Olishmina is in trouble, you take someone to take a boat to see if there is anything you can do to help them. ”

“ok!”

Li Sheng found that the dock of the farm had been completely flooded, and the only reassuring thing was that the boats moored above were still there. It's just that those boats float alone on the water, and I don't know if they will be left directly on the shore after the flood waters recedes. If that's the case, a few speedboats are not a big problem, and the two-hundred-ton ship will require a lot of effort to get it back on the water.

When Anthony came with the people, they stopped going around in circles and continued to fly along the edge of the farm.

They made a bend and flew north along the riverbank. It was found that the flooding of the river was inevitable, and the question now is, when will this flood end.

Li Sheng also identified some potential dangers for ranch workers. Part of the grassland was submerged, and some "driftwood" appeared at the water's edge.

"There are crocodiles around the farm, and the workers have to pay attention," Babur reminded. They are likely to go out on land to attack cattle and even workers. Workers must be asked to pay attention to whether there are crocodiles left in the grass. ”

The herd below is not far from the water's edge, and the workers have already begun to work, gathering the herd, perhaps counting the numbers.

I just don't know how many cattle will be lost in this rainstorm.

However, Li Sheng doesn't care much about how much he loses for the time being. He was more concerned that crocodiles had appeared in the river, and they had most likely been here for a while. In such heavy rain, the water on the pasture was about ten centimeters. Crocodiles will move much less on it than crawling on dry land, and it is inevitable that no crocodile will crawl across the pasture land to attack the calves. Now that the rain has stopped, they may just stay in the pasture. For example, they may be hidden in those lakes.

He had to guard against it.

Their planes turned to the west after patrolling along the east coast. It's all pretty much the same here. Over there, the woodland, which was thought not to be flooded, has been re-submerged. Li Sheng saw the black crocodile, and it lay on the grassland on the surface of the water to bask in the sun. The water on this side even flooded more than twenty kilometers of land.

Li Sheng also saw the width of the Amazon River, the largest river in the world, which is probably forty or fifty kilometers wide. That's the width of the sea.

Babur, who has lived here for several years, knows a lot more about the rainy season than Li Sheng: "The rainy season has just begun. Flooding will continue for a long time. ”

The flood he was talking about was actually the high season of the Amazon River, not that the river would always be so high.

However, he added: "Maybe it will continue to rain in the evening." The water level will be even higher. ”

When they were still flying, Anthony was calling Li Sheng, and his voice was a little low: "Li, the villagers here are in big trouble." One family was swept away by the flood, six villagers' boats were washed away, and three households were damaged to varying degrees. Most of the villagers are facing a lack of food. ”

Anthony's words, Babur also heard clearly. "During flood periods, villagers are greatly affected to fish, and they don't have enough boats," he explained. If they are running low on food now, maybe they will have to spend a hungry rainy season. ”

The boats of the indigenous people are usually sampan-class boats, and may even be canoes. The remaining boats may not be able to catch enough fish to feed the whole village. In particular, the villagers of Olishmina did not have fishing nets.

Of course, both Anthony and Babur's words are a bit exaggerated. For the indigenous people of the jungle, there is no shortage of food during the rainy season. It's just that getting food is more dangerous.

In the flooded rainforest, there is an abundance of fish. These fish are easy to catch.

However, Li Sheng also felt that he should support some things for the villagers. So he replied to Anthony: "If the safety of the villagers is threatened, you can take them to the farm first." If you have any surplus food, you can give it to them. ”

"Understood, Lee. You're a good guy!"

Li Sheng smiled. He doesn't care what a woman gives him, let alone a man.

The plane circled along the farm, and the flood was really severe. The oxbow lake and the Amazon River are completely connected and can no longer be seen. If it weren't for the trees on the shore of the lake, the location of the lake might not be found in the sky.

The farm wasn't in good shape, and he wasn't in the mood to see the majesty of the world's largest river, so he flew back to the airport. He has a lot of things to deal with.

Getting off the plane, he and Babur hurried to the management area. This is the ranch management center, and Babur usually works here.
