Chapter 47: Three Gorges! Three gorges!
The huge black shadow shocked everyone, the part that emerged from the water alone was nearly 20 meters, like a huge wall blocking the middle of the corpse ball and the hull of the ship, the black shadow opened its huge mouth, and before Ye Quan could see the appearance of the giant mouth, he swallowed most of the corpse ball. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe water depth in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River is only twenty or thirty meters, how can such a huge monster appear, is it the cause of the catastrophe?
"Full speed ahead, hurry up and distance yourself from them." Ye Quan wiped the water beads from his face and hurriedly said. Whether it's a corpse ball or a monster that suddenly appears, if you get too close, I'm afraid it will be trouble.
The black shadow overturned in the water, knocked the corpse ball away in three or two strokes, and then tore apart, the zombies had no ability to resist at all, it can be said that there was no sense of resistance, they did not tear the black shadow, but after being smashed again and again, they just repeated the reunion. Then the black shadow tore their bodies again and again with huge teeth, and gradually the number became smaller and smaller, and then almost all of them were wiped out.
Taking this opportunity, Ye Quan and the others left in a hurry, fortunately, after encountering four corpse balls, they had completely left the range of Jiangcheng, they were already very close to the range of Honghu City, and the corpses chased out of Jiangcheng behind were also thrown off by them, due to the decline in population density on the riverbank in front, the zombies that appeared were sparse, and the number was simply not enough to attack, they followed the river boat slowly on the shore as they did at the beginning until the river boat went away, as if nothing had happened.
After the black shadow in the river abused the zombies with thin arms and thin legs, he let out a long roar, jumped into the water again, and disappeared, as if he was specially here to help, Ye Quan lay on the side of the boat and looked down, the river was a little muddy, but if this behemoth was still in the nearby waters, it should be very obvious.
In Ye Quan's opinion, this water monster is likely to be a mutant beast, otherwise it can't be explained how there can be such a monster in the river, since it is a mutant beast, Ye Quan naturally has to be cautious, this water monster can approach them quietly, and then knock them over with its huge body, its threat is much greater than the corpse ball.
"What the hell was that, the legendary water monster? I feel bigger than our boat, and if it hits us, we're going to capsize in a second. "Qi Ran was in charge of driving the ship just now, and he was most afraid of this matter, don't look at their ship, which has a full load displacement of about 900 tons, but it is not enough to see in front of the water monster.
Li Mu's face was also pale, she saw that the giant mouth of the water monster was full of fangs, which couldn't help but remind her of the thriller movies she had watched, such as what was in dire straits, prehistoric giant crocodiles and the like, she didn't want to be bitten in two by a monster jumping up in the water when she was standing at the water's edge. Then everyone found that Li Mu had become strange since noon, no matter what he did, he didn't get close to the side of the ship, and he didn't even dare to take a look.
The ship is in good condition from the instrument, so no one looks at the engine room, but everyone is basically in the control room or deck, wiping guns and doing work. The length of this ship is less than thirty meters, in fact, it is not a big ship in the ship world, so the engine room is unusually small, and it is unusually stuffy inside, if there is no need, Qi Ran is too lazy to go in, except for a glance when he first got on the ship, he has never entered again, and naturally he doesn't know, there is already a white and chubby mutant rabbit inside, who else can it be if it is not Brother Rabbit...
"It should be raining upstream, and the amount of precipitation should be not small, and if there is a flood, it will not be good." Ye Quan sighed.
"Why do you have something to worry about?" Qi Qiqi wiped a katana and said, since Ye Quan brought a lot of cold weapons, she fell in love with one of the pickaxes at a glance, and she liked it very much, so she wiped it with a white cloth and oiled it when she was fine. After wiping it, he wrapped the knife in a black cloth and carried it to his back, with her wearing a black leather coat, how did Ye Quan think that this was a blade warrior's hurry.
"I mean it simply, what was once an engineering marvel that we were proud of can now become the deadliest threat." Ye Quan said.
"You're talking about the Three Gorges?" After Qi Qiqi heard this, she immediately knew that the problem was very serious, so she became serious.
"Far more than that, the consequences of a Three Gorges collapse are unimaginable, because it has a huge amount of water in itself, blocking too much upstream runoff, and the focus is on its storage capacity, without which the entire downstream would be threatened by flooding at any time." And now you can imagine that the entire hydropower hub on the Yangtze River is paralyzed and unmanned, and there are at least dozens of large hydropower stations and water conservancy facilities on the main tributaries of the Yangtze River・・・・・・? Although there is some automation in their operation, most of them still have to be managed manually. Now that the catastrophe has broken out for only about half a month, it is better, and once it takes a long time, this water system will be like a wild horse that has completely escaped the control of humans. Ye Quan pulled Qi Qiqi over, and the two whispered.
"So... Didn't you have contact with Camp Dawn, they should have news about this." Qi Qiqi paused slightly and then said his thoughts, Ye Quan is an official who also has a contact in his hand, he should be able to get a lot of information.
"You don't know that, I did contact them before, but they've lost contact with these places. However, satellite monitoring data said that the water level had reached a position close to the warning line, and the Three Gorges did not open any more flood gates. ”
"So the Three Gorges will collapse sooner or later?"
"I'm not an expert on this, but it seems to be the case at the moment, and the biggest concern for me is how we will get through the locks when we get to Gezhouba or the Three Gorges. I've heard that there are already many survivors' boats blocked. Ye Quan was a little uneasy. There are many differences between living in the end of the world and normal society, a normal society is formed by people who have different knowledge and skills together to provide services to each other, that is to say, in your daily life, a thing that seems to you is very ordinary, such as communication that has the existence of a huge communication network and makes it a reality, which has countless people as support nodes, but in the last days this platform node has been destroyed, and the survivor team in the last days is no more than a few hundred people, It is impossible for them to have the knowledge and skills to deal with all situations, and in many cases people will be helpless in the face of the various remnants of human beings.
"Locks..." Qi Qiqi thought about it, "It's really not good, let's blow up the Three Gorges, anyway, that project has many drawbacks, and it will not be needed at this time." ”
Ye Quan thought that this woman would have a good way, but she didn't know that her last proposal was to blow up the dam, he said: "You said it easily, do you know how big that project is and how high the defense level is, especially there is a Gezhouba in front, where did we get so many explosives!" ”
"Didn't the Dawn guys interrupt and intervene in this?" Qi Qiqi asked.
"They are too busy to take care of themselves, so they still have the ability to take care of it, even if it is very difficult to send people over, it is a big problem to clean up the hundreds of thousands of mutant creatures nearby, and they will not help us blow up the Three Gorges, that will cause a lot of problems, and they are afraid of bearing infamy."
"Cut, it's going to collapse sooner or later anyway, blow it up sooner and rest assured, there aren't many living people downstream, they're all zombies, it's better to take this opportunity to drown them." Qi Qiqi said nonchalantly.
Ye Quan just smiled at this, Qi Qiqi thought about the problem too simply, even if the remnants of those state institutions in the dawn are now unpleasant to say, it is impossible to go back to the past, but they still will not bury their years of operation without burden.
In the end, there was nothing they could do, and if they really couldn't do it, they could only abandon the ship and a large amount of supplies and detour by land, but this was the result that no one wanted to see. In the end, such a huge project on the one hand to solve a lot of disaster problems in the short term, but at the same time is also a kind of human behavior to curb nature, the rapid growth of the population in the past hundred years is constantly forcing nature to listen to the dispatch of human beings, we rely on their own wisdom derived from science and technology manpower, forcibly change the face of nature, so that in the short term it seems that we can not see or feel the backlash of nature, but after a long time, human beings will inevitably suffer the consequences, and the advent of the catastrophe is just to advance everything in advance. It has thrown human society out of control and reasserted the power of nature・・・・・・
In the night, except for the sound of flowing water, I couldn't hear anything else on the boat, the boat had sailed through Honghu Lake, and when I arrived at Jingzhou, Ye Quan couldn't sleep in the cabin, and thought hard about how to cross the dam, he remembered that the Three Gorges had built a ship lift, if the ship lift could be started, it would be easy to do, but there was a Gezhou Dam across the Three Gorges before, and there was no ship lift in that place.
"Do you have to abandon ship?" Ye Quan couldn't think of any other way than to blow up Gezhouba. Just as he was in the midst of his annoyance, the sound of a fight came from the bottom of the cabin. Ye Quan thought at first that Lao Yuan and Qi Ran couldn't get together and started fighting, but later realized that something was wrong when someone called for help.
He hurried to the source of the sound, it was in the engine room, Ye Quan was the first to come to the engine room, in the small space inside was Lao Yuan and a "white pig" are you and I are comparing moves, Lao Yuan wanted to run out of here many times, but every time he was blocked by the white pig, the white pig jumped high and knocked Lao Yuan to the ground with his head, and then the long teeth were about to bite down, Lao Yuan, this guy saw that the situation was not good, and immediately a donkey rolled and avoided it, how can this be Brother Rabbit again.
"I'll wipe my life, I'm going to be bitten to death." Lao Yuan shouted while running in the engine room, it was Qi Qiqi driving the boat tonight, Lao Yuan patrolling, this guy walked around the ship and came to the engine room, only to find that the rabbit who escaped in his hands was actually ambushed here, and almost didn't kill him.
Seeing Ye Quan coming, Lao Yuan was bitter and tearful: "Ye Zi, come and save me!" Brother is about to burp. ”
Ye Quan never expected that Brother Rabbit, who was let go by Lao Yuan, actually lurked on the boat unknowingly, if it weren't for Lao Yuan wandering around, maybe he wouldn't have found it at all, God knows what this guy is going to do.
Brother Rabbit saw Ye Quan coming, his eyes were full of anger, it just wanted to eat this human being, it must eat it with his own mouth, and not let other mutated creatures eat it, what Ye Quan didn't know was that the big guy who came out of the water when he was attacked by the corpse ball today was invited by Brother Rabbit through Sonic Waves, and it was determined to kill Ye Quan by himself, not to let those zombies interfere, and inadvertently did everyone a great favor.
But Brother Rabbit also knew that he was not the opponent of this human being, so he quietly lurked and planned to look for opportunities, who knew that Lao Yuan's habit of wandering blindly exposed it, seeing that Ye Quan was blocking the door of the cabin, Brother Rabbit gave up the attack on Lao Yuan, turned around and ran, but how could Ye Quan let it succeed, and grabbed it with his hand and restrained ・・・・・・.
