301 Huanji River
The two stepped out of the main building.
Xu is psychological, Xu is because it is late at night, and he feels that the air in the atrium is a little cooler than when the two of them were watching the stars after dinner.
Scarlet looked up, the newly installed protective shield did not affect her vision, only to see that the stars had disappeared, the moon was gone, only a few large clouds remained, and occasionally some wandering shimmers were emitted behind her.
The shield does not completely block out the sound outside. A low whistling sound, swirling, gave Scarlet the illusion that it was wandering agitated in the atrium, looking for an exit.
"Tan'an, look." Her hands tightened.
Beyond the atrium is the rear house of her family. At the back door of the main building, they could see that behind the eaves, the treetops and canopies of the trees on the other side of the Huanji River were shaking wildly against the backdrop of the night sky.
"Ahh She whispered, "My treehouse." ”
Some time ago, she worked hard to make the ladder frame and install the bottom plate.
Shang Tan'an patted his fingers: "It doesn't matter, we'll do it later." ”
It can only be like this, Scarlet sighed secretly, and her tone was quite optimistic: "Maybe it didn't blow away." ”
"Scarlet, I'll go over and check the water level."
"If the warning level is exceeded, it will be notified." Scarlet hurriedly said.
"I know, I'm just going to the kitchen window to get a closer look at the bridge."
"I'll go too."
Shang Tan'an glanced at her, and his hand didn't let go: "Go." ”
The two of them walked briskly through the atrium, opened the kitchen, and headed straight for the back window.
Without the starlight, the Huanji River completely melted into the darkness, and Scarlet's gaze was thrown hard at the approximate distance in his memory.
"Those are ......," her voice tightened.
There seemed to be some accumulation of black shadows on the surface of the river.
A low whistling whistling sound.
"Don't be afraid." Shang Tan'an grasped Scarlet's hand, his eyes were also scanning back and forth, but he hadn't yet made out clearly, only to hear a low whistling sound suddenly tightened and raised, and then creaked and creaked, his eyes flashed, and the corner of his eye caught a columnar black shadow in mid-air that rumbled and fell, smashing into the river with a bang.
Scarlet couldn't help but be startled, and immediately felt Shang Tan'an exert a slight strength and shook her wrist.
"Trees fall, and those are trees." His voice quickly calmed down.
Scarlet naturally thought of it. She made up her mind and continued to observe, the pontoon bridge and fallen logs were mixed together, and she couldn't recognize it at all, but fortunately, the signal of the pontoon bridge was still in her house's access control system.
Looking out of the window at the trees on the other side of the river, it is not clearer than from the atrium, but the ink black that is closer together makes people feel more oppressive.
She stuck, staring intently outside, only to hear the crackling sound of the wind blowing branches, and there was not even the slightest trace of her half-pulled tree house.
Scarlet had more pressing concerns in her heart.
"Tan'an, the tide will rise at night."
In the summer, the Kayibe Delta in the east welcomes a wave of tide at noon during the day, the sea pushes from the mouth of the delta, and the tide follows the river network all the way into the Wowo Plain, and the main section of the Huanji River is about the time when Scarlet Silk and Shang Tan'an are asleep.
Shang Tan'an checked the water level data and comforted: "It's okay now." ”
"The fallen tree fell into the water." Scarlet furrowed her eyebrows, "It's me who is bad." Last time I piled up all the weeds and weeds in the woods by the river, and now I may have turned them all into the river. ”
"Last time, I didn't ask the robot to clean it up in time." Shang Tan'an looked at the position of the river, his eyes were condensed, and he was relieved with the responsibility in his mouth, "Maybe it won't be good...... I'll go out and take a look. ”
"Out of the hood? I'll go with you. ”
"You stay here. Maybe I need something, you can hand it out to me......"
As soon as Shang Tan'an turned around, she was grabbed by Scarlet Hair's wrist, and her eyes were blazing: "I'll go with you." If you want to get any tools, think about it before you go. ”
“…… Let's go. Shang Tan'an pulled her backhand, as if sighing, "Hold on to me, it's windy outside." ”
The kitchen back door opens and the protective cover emergency exit opens.
The wind immediately blew away her long scarlet hair, covering her eyes.
Shang Tan'an subconsciously turned his body sideways and half-hugged her: "Scarlet, you can go in." ”
Scarlet raised her hand and brushed the hair that was in the way to her forehead: "Let's go and come back quickly." ”
Shang Tan'an glanced at her, and quickly grabbed one of her hands harder. The wind blew hard from the side, and seemed to swirl under the shield and the woods. He stared closely ahead, calculating where the banks of the Huanji River should be.
The communicators of the two suddenly screamed at the same time.
"Deputy Director Shang, Deputy Director Yan, you guys are out of the cover, what's the situation?" In the projection screen, not only Qi Changgong, but also Cao Wenfei, all had solemn faces.
Scarlet stopped, and the wind blew her hair around her head again, and she brushed her messy hair back in annoyance, and heard Shang Tan'an replying: "It's windy here, the river is rising, let's go outside the house to check now." ”
"We know that neither the wind nor the tide level on your side poses a real danger to the safety of your house, and that there are protective shields to protect it. I suggest you go back to the house immediately. ”
"Tan'an, look." Scarlet raised her finger anxiously to the front, the virtual image of the projection screen interfering with her vision, and she narrowed her eyes and glared straight into the river as she swept over the back wall of Qi Changgong Cao Wenfei and their new office.
Shang Tan'an stopped the conversation, stared at it, and couldn't help but gather his eyebrows.
"What's the situation?" Qi Changgong stared at Scarlet's face and immediately asked.
"A lot of trees fell in the water, blocking the river." Shang Tan'an replied hurriedly, pulling Scarlet Silk and walking forward quickly.
Qi Changgong and Cao Wenfei glanced at each other, and once again solemnly spoke: "Deputy Commercial Division, stop." First, you can go out of the hood to observe, but you have to switch to the real-time recording mode of the field mission to facilitate the briefing with us. Second, you'd better observe alone, at least leave Deputy Secretary Yan in the house first to ensure that she is safe enough. ”
Shang Tan'an was stunned for a moment, looked at the projection screen, and before the words came out, Scarlet immediately interjected: "I'm going." ”
"Deputy Director Yan......" Qi Changgong's face sank.
"I'm also opening up my personal full-mission log to you." Scarlet interrupted hurriedly, "Don't grind, we're not there in a few steps." She shook Shang Tan'an's hand, "Let's go...... Tan'an, let's walk carefully. ”
Qi Changgong looked at the woman on the picture with her hair fluttering, cautiously stepping towards the river, and frowned imperceptibly.
In the wind, from time to time there was the sound of tree branches creaking and breaking, and when I reached the river, I heard it more and more clearly. There was also a sound, which was the rattling of the water.
"Scarlet, stop here." Shang Tan'an said, he grabbed her tightly, his eyes scanned the dark section of the river in front of him, the few large bundles of weeds and shrubs cut down by clearing the woods last time seemed to have all fallen into the river, and there was a large pile of debris gathered on the surface of the river, and there was a horizontal log, which was obliquely from the opposite bank to the embankment on this side, which may be too heavy, or it could be dead, and it was motionless for a long time, and the water could not move it for a minute, and the canopy of the trees spread out on their lawn.
"We need to fit it and see if it doesn't cause overflow with the tide level data." Scarlet said worriedly.
"You come to fit, stand firm, don't follow."
"Tan An," Scarlet shouted urgently, "why are you going?" ”
"Move the tree. You help me look at the other side, in case another tree falls, alert me. ”
As soon as Scarlet heard this, her steps immediately stopped, and she raised her eyes to look at the dark sky on the other side.
And Shang Tan'an had already run to the shore against the wind.
