Chapter 222: Chapter 22: Heavy Rain
readx;?? Lightning flashed across the sky, and there was a faint sound of thunder, which was not loud but very clear in the night. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Luo Xun and the two of them reacted at the beginning, and hurriedly prepared to take shelter from the rain, and the people next to the fire of the other team in the distance were also busy.
The two men were not busy putting out the fire to take shelter from the rain or waking up their companions, but they were busy rolling together......
Luo Xun and the others didn't notice what the people over there were doing at first, they were simply preparing for the rain shelter, and it was only when Yan Fei got the roof of the car that the two of them observed the situation outside, they faintly saw the figure moving around the fire not far away.
Luo Xun squinted his eyes for a while, and then he was sure what the two were busy doing, but the distance was too far away, and he couldn't tell whether it was a man and a woman rolling together? Or two people of the same gender. This kind of post-apocalyptic days outside the base and heart field battles, if you encounter a zombie who comes out in the middle of the night to hang out and hunt for food, I don't know if those two people will be frightened and cause some other situations?
While curiously observing the boring movement of the people in the distance during the vigil, another lightning bolt struck from the sky, almost completely illuminating the place where everyone was, and it was not long before the louder, clearer boom exploded above everyone's heads. woke up the two who were busy, and also woke up Luo Xun and Yan Fei, who were watching the excitement.
"What's wrong...... Wang Duo rubbed his eyes in a daze, and sat up, looking left and right blankly. Xu Mei, who had just fallen asleep, also sat up and asked.
"It's thundering outside, I'm afraid it's going to rain." After Luo Xun explained, he comforted everyone, "Let's go to sleep, we have taken care of the roof, and it shouldn't be a big problem." ”
Song Lingling reminded a little vaguely: "I sound like it's thundering outside?" ”
"Yes, it's thundering, and the rain hasn't rained yet."
"Then we have so much metal here, will it be struck by lightning?"
……
…………
Luo Xun turned his head to look at Yan Fei suddenly, Yan Fei also silently examined himself, and immediately got some metal to make a lightning rod nearby and went deep into the ground.
They had placed this thing in various locations when they were building the base earlier, and the main body of the base was all made of metal, and if it was a thunderstorm, one bad luck would blow up the entire base. It's just that everyone is in the middle of the complex at this moment, and they forget about it for a while.
After Yan Fei made a lightning rod and the thunder like an explosion sounded outside again, the other people in the metal room were also woken up, no way, who made this movement so big?
Luo Xun didn't persuade everyone to continue sleeping for the time being, but looked at the situation outside at the window with others, and the mandarin duck next to the fire not far away also found that the situation was not good at this time, and quickly lifted his pants to clean up the things around after the previous thunder, and woke up his teammates in the same car by the way.
Unfortunately, before the next lightning bolt came, there was a sudden sound of rain outside.
The raindrops were huge, each hitting the metal roof with a loud knocking sound, and not long after the first drop fell, the sound of the rain outside joined in. What's even more frightening is that several huge thunders still explode outside from time to time, and the wind is mixed with rain, and it seems that after each thunder, the rain tends to be more dense.
"Are we going to get flooded here?" Li Tie rubbed his eyes and asked with some uneasiness.
Luo Xun also took out the tablet in his bag at this time, called up the nearby map and was looking at it, and responded vaguely when he heard it: "I'll see if I can find out where the terrain is high and where the terrain is low......"
They are now in the middle of the city, and the drainage facilities in the city are not guaranteed to work properly after the end of the world, and this heavy rain is pouring, and if the place where they are is flooded, the cart and the things collected this time will be lost.
Even if Yan Fei can completely seal all the carriages with metal, it will not completely submerge the car, and once the road is flooded after a long time, it will not be easy for them to walk after that.
"I can't find it." After a long time, Luo Xun sighed helplessly. Although the map is detailed, it does not list the elevations of the various parts of the city. But even if Luo Xun can't find it for the time being, he knows that the drainage of the relatively old streets in the city may not be very good, and the area with new buildings on both sides may be better.
"Why don't you just go overnight?" He Qiankun saw that it was very lively outside, so he hurriedly helped to propose.
“…… Not very safe, right? Luo Xun touched his chin and turned his head to look at Yan Fei beside him, he was also very hesitant in his heart, mainly because it was still far from the new base, and they hadn't even touched the edge of the southwest base in City A yet, and it would take a long distance to return to their base.
"It's better to wait until dawn before we go, in case something happens along the way, how can we see clearly at night?" A group of people talked about it, and everyone seemed to have instantly driven away the drowsiness, and got together to chat.
The fire in the distance was finally completely extinguished under the pouring rain. The men all seemed to have returned to their respective cars to endure the night, and were not in the mood to travel overnight.
Luo Xun and the others waited a little before persuading everyone else to go to sleep, and the two continued to keep vigil.
Yan Fei added another layer of metal roof above the roof to isolate the noisy sound of rain. And the metal was extracted from the roadside building, and the whole metal house was given some height, so that the rain from the outside would not fall too much and then flood inside.
That night, almost everyone did not sleep well, tossing and turning in the noisy rain, lightning and thunder flashing from time to time, and finally stayed up until dawn.
Luo Xun and the others got up early in the morning and looked around in the dim light outside, the heavy rain outside still did not stop, and the rain lines were densely connected, obscuring everyone's vision. Sure enough, there was water on the ground, and the water was now below the thickness of the rubber part of the wheel.
After eating a little, a group of people returned to the various cars in the metal passage that Yan Fei had made temporarily, and the sealing of the cars was done very well, and not a drop of water entered the carriage. After Yan Fei and the others climbed back into their cars, Yan Fei rebuilt the metal house he lived in last night into the shape of a car, merged into the convoy and went on the road together.
The wheels swept across the water with a loud rattle. However, the water waves brought by those fake cars are relatively small. When they drove to the place where the other team had camped last night, they saw that there was no sign of the vehicle there, and they knew that they were probably on the road at dawn.
Since the heavy rain really affected their vision, it was not easy to see the road conditions, and they did not move much faster throughout the day. In the evening, when passing by a fork in the road, I saw a row of cars trying to make a U-turn on the street leading to the southwest base -- the road was very watery, and the elevation of the street leading to the southwest base was low, and several cars with relatively low ground were submerged in it and could not move for a while.
Nearby, there were water-based adepts trying to figure out how to deal with the rainwater next to the cars, and a few half-submerged power-based adepts pulling carts out.
Luo Xun and the others glanced at it from a distance, and continued to rush forward from the road leading to the south - it would take at least two or three days for them to return to their small base, and they didn't know if the drainage facilities in their small base were working? Is the seal of the base good? What if you go back and find that all the basements and underground passages are blistered...... Then they don't have to live.
When they came before, after entering the city, Luo Xun and the others drove for three days, and before that, it took nearly two days to reach the city. This time they braved the rain to go back, which made them feel that the road ahead was long, and it was really difficult to walk in the heavy rain.
Fortunately, there was a water supernatural in their convoy, and when they couldn't tell if there was a collapse in the road ahead several times, Song Lingling could help investigate. In the end, Xu Mei and Song Lingling's car simply moved to the front of the team, and the rear let Zhang Su's car break back. Song Lingling split the water all the way and operated the stagnant water on the road to clear the way for the convoy.
In this way, although there is a lot of trouble, because of caution and caution, they have avoided many crises in advance.
You must know that although the roads in many places in City A look good, many of the ground has become less solid due to the destruction of zombies after the end of the world and the impact of the battle of the Ability.
If the ground is very honest, at most the road surface becomes less walkable, and there is more gravel on the road. But in many places, the ground has been hollowed out, and only a layer of asphalt on the ground is left on it, which is usually not visible at all!
This time it rained heavily, and the road surface in many such places collapsed directly, and once the team entering the city to do tasks drove to this kind of place, it was very likely that the whole car would be trapped in it!
As a result, the road that was expected to be only three days was forced to be five days by Luo Xun and them.
In the last three days, the heavy rain had actually stopped, but the water on the road was still there, which still tested everyone's response measures and flood resistance.
It wasn't until noon on the fifth day that everyone saw the familiar farmland and familiar mutant plants again, which made everyone feel related and emotional.
The terrain around here is relatively high, at least the water on the highway has basically receded, only some uneven places still have puddles, but the farmland and wilderness on the side of the road seem to have become paddy fields overnight, as soon as the sun comes out, hitting the farmland, the sparkling light almost blinds the eyes of a group of people.
"If someone falls into it, they'll drown, right?" Han Li's teasing voice came over the walkie-talkie.
"Maybe you can swim in it, why don't you go down and try it?"
"Try it, God knows if there will be some more mutant animals in it."
"Was the farmland so deep before? Why did it just rain and it turned into a lake? ”
Everyone was chatting and complaining, when they heard the sound of fluttering and rattling in the distance, and when they looked up, everyone was stunned to find that those fields had been transformed into paddy fields...... Maybe a swamp? Anyway, in those 'ponds', there are actually water birds floating on them and fluttering their wings leisurely!! And there seems to be quite a few of them!!
