Volume 1: The Source of Life Chapter 118: Earthquakes
"What's wrong?"
Meng Qinghu got out from under the car in confusion.
"Brother, there was an earthquake."
Sang Yu screamed, rushed past and crashed into his arms, and he reacted to the earthquake.
There was a "boom", and something collapsed somewhere, shaking the whole land. Before Meng Qinghu could react, a series of tremors were transmitted to their feet.
Hurricanes swept through the raindrops the size of beans, flying sand and rocks, and the whole sky saw only yellow flying sand, dead branches and rotten leaves, and frightened birds crashing everywhere.
In the blink of an eye, the rain poured down.
Meng Qinghu half-bent over, escorted Sang Yu and ran to the clearing.
At this moment, he did not dare to get too close to the little beetle, for fear that it would be swept over by the wind and fall on them.
In that case, you will die too unjustly!
In the desolate wilderness, in addition to wild wild grasses, there are occasionally broken walls and ruins left by predecessors. The brother and sister watched as the ruins in the distance collapsed in an instant, at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Meng Qinghu was half-squatting, his hands half-arched and his whole body carefully protecting Sang Yu.
The raindrops hit the body and it hurt unusually.
Soon, Meng Qinghu and Sang Yu found that they couldn't stay outside, and the raindrops were mixed with hail the size of eggs.
The brother and sister were in a hurry, and Sang Yu's ability was like chicken ribs at the moment. Meng Qinghu took off his shirt and waved it into a piece, forming a rain-soaked safety zone between him and Sang Yu.
It was not safe outside the car, and it was not safe inside the car, Meng Qinghu used his body to block the wind and sand and heavy rain, and shouted loudly:
"I don't know where the epicenter is, this hail is too big, let's get in the car first."
The car door opened with great difficulty, and Sang Yu slid in like a fish, drenched in the water. By the time Meng Qinghu sat in the cab, the brother and sister were already soaked, and the water droplets on their hair fell down in strings.
Although this little Beetle is some years old and its appearance is too old, it has been modified by Meng Qinghu and Da Ming in their spare time.
Not to mention on land, even in the water, it can be driven safely.
This is also a big advantage of the small Beetle in the base, don't look at its smallness, but it is unexpectedly more secure than many cars.
The reason why Meng Qinghu dared to take Meng Sangyu into the car was also because he knew that it was not as safe outside as in the car at the moment.
The hail smashed on the car with a powerful "thump" sound.
Fortunately, the body is made of lightweight steel, which is light and hard, but it is hundreds of times harder than ordinary materials.
The brother and sister sat in the car, like a lonely boat in the stormy waves. It's a terrible feeling to be in the wind and rain and completely out of control.
Sang Yu grabbed the seat and asked in horror, "Brother, is the car moving?" ”
Meng Qinghu also felt it, he didn't say it, because he didn't want to cause Sang Yu's panic. Now, Sang Yu also felt it, and he could only nod: "It's okay, don't be afraid, I'll go down and take a look." ”
"No, you don't."
Sang Yu grabbed Meng Qinghu, who was about to get out of the car with the car door a little scared: "You roll down the window a little." ”
Meng Qinghu did not hesitate to lower the window of the car by about five centimeters, and soon, raindrops squeezed in through the window.
"Just leave one centimeter behind."
The window of the car rose slowly, and Sang Yu put his hand on the gap in the window, and the plants and grass near the little beetle in the wilderness grew wildly in an instant, and soon the car was wrapped tightly like a dumpling.
From a distance, it looks like a small green mountain bag, and I don't know what is hidden inside.
If it weren't for the front and rear windows that could reveal light, such a confined package would be suffocating.
After about half an hour, the hail stopped, and the wind and rain were much lighter
The road to Oasis Farm, is the best road around. Whether it is leading to Spring City or Qingcheng, there are two cities that are doing their best to maintain them.
Such a smooth road, in the storm, is like a light boat in a huge wave, fragile and insignificant. The car was bumpy on the road, the water on the road was already very deep, and the car walked on the road like a boat, and only waves of water were pushed away by the speed of the car, and then closed in the back.
Sang Yu buckled his seat belt, clasped his hands tightly in front of him to balance his body, and looked out the window worriedly: "Brother, the farm will be fine, right?" ”
"It's not clear yet, I don't know where the epicenter is, how many magnitudes it is."
The water droplets on Meng Qinghu's cheeks dripped down, and he wiped them casually, and he didn't know if it was the rain or sweat just now.
"Judging by what we're doing here, the farm shouldn't be fine."
How could it be okay!
The more I went to the farm, the more I felt the severity of the earthquake, and the earthquake on the farm was stronger than that of Meng Qinghu and them.
During the earthquake, chickens and dogs jumped on the farm, and fat rats lined up to pass in front of Xiaobai's group of cat soldiers.
The adults and children panicked, but fortunately, Meng Xinai reacted quickly and pressed the emergency protective shield, so that the house where they lived was not seriously damaged.
After the earthquake, the hail stopped, and the wind and rain were much less.
The whole farm was moving, and the adults were repairing the damaged houses, warehouses. The older children, under the leadership of their mothers and aunts, gathered the living scattered chickens, ducks and geese and rushed them to a safe place.
Not far from them, the corpses of chickens, ducks and geese lay on the ground, looking shocking.
Xiao Xiaoxiang took a few small children and stopped fishing nets in the aqueduct of the farm, fearing that a fish would escape from the reservoir. When they saw Sang Yu's car coming, they didn't go ashore.
Sang Yu leaned on the car window and shouted: "Xiaoxiaoxiang, don't take your younger brothers and sisters to play in the water, go back early." ”
The children didn't know what it was like, and a few younger children raised the fish in their hands to show Sang Yu, only Xiaoxiao waved his hand: "I know, sister, go back quickly, everyone is waiting for you." ”
Sang Yu's car arrived at the farm earlier than the Wang siblings' car, and they saw from a distance that the farm was in a mess. Collapsed sheds, blowing broken branches and dead leaves everywhere.
Some of the machines that didn't have time to enter the shed, all the glass on the windows was smashed by the hail.
The roof of the car was also bumpy by the hail.
The explosion-proof glass can withstand the rain of bullets, and in this huge ice block, it is also terrifying.
When the car drove into the yard, the water splashed, and the water in the yard did not reach the surface of the feet, and the water flow where it was launched was wrapped in foam and gurgling.
The wind is coming and taking Xiao Wugui to lie on the granary in the drizzle, reinforcing the waterproof material, and the wind makes his whole person shaky.
Sang Yu shouted in a straight voice: "Uncle Feng, you come down, why don't you activate the protection?" ”
Standing under the warehouse, he paid attention to the safety of the wind at all times, and did not look back, only nervously looking at the roof of the shed. It was still Didi who said quickly: "No way, there is no power." If you don't go up to check, it may leak when it rains. ”
Out of power?
The farm generates its own electricity, and the reserves are enough, how can there be no electricity?
Meng Sangyu turned her head to look at the wind turbines on the mountain, where did her five big windmills go?
"Where's the big windmill?"
Everyone's faces were difficult to look at for a while, and Xiao Wugui snorted with a toothache: "It's down." ”
"Down?"
This is probably the most ridiculous thing Sang Yu has ever heard, not to mention how deep the foundation of the windmills with wind power is buried, that is, their locations are all built on the mountain, a little far away from the farm, but the big windmill on the mountain cannot fall, but the farm is safe and sound.
She looked at the back mountain with some disbelief, and the five, tall iconic windmills were indeed gone!
"Really down?"
She looked at the crowd in disbelief.
"It's really down."
"No, how did it fall, it's so big and so tall."
"It's because it's tall and big, and it's scary when it falls."
Meng Xinxin covered her chest with palpitations, and there were tear stains in the corners of her eyes: "Sister, you don't know, it was terrible at that time!" Uncle Feng was almost crushed to death by a windmill. ”
After Sangyu left at noon, everyone dispersed after drinking.
In the afternoon, it was fine, and most people chose to go home to rest.
Only Feng Zhenglai had a few wines on the head, leading a group of young people to prepare to go up the mountain.
Said to go up the mountain, not to go out to play, yesterday, there are a lot of rats on the mountain. They are pervasive, and the little white-collar on the farm with a group of cat soldiers and cat generals are also unguardable.
Not to mention the mountains and reservoirs, this morning the wind is coming to patrol the mountains, passing by the reservoir, you can always see white fish bones on the side of the reservoir.
It's all those stupid fish that were caught by rats and ate the leftover wreckage!
When things go wrong, there must be demons.
Feng Zhenglai thinks that someone may have deliberately put rats on his sister's farm.
But they think that it is a natural disaster, not a man-made disaster, and the books say that when there is a natural disaster, these animals are the first to react.
Only Mian Mian is optimistic, he thinks that these rats are hungry, and Oasis Farm has food before they come here.
They argued a few words, but no one convinced anyone, and they didn't think it was a big deal, so no one remembered to talk to Sang Yu.
After eating, they were ready to go into the mountains again to have a look, and if the situation was different, they had to prepare early.
At the time of the earthquake, the wind was coming and the group happened to walk to the foot of the mountain.
A shock came, and several people were a little dizzy, thinking that they had drunk too much and began to dizzy.
When the windmill fell, the huge body slammed down on the hillside, pushing for a few meters before stopping, leaving a trail like a trench.
When the huge and terrifying voice smashed over, several people were stunned for a moment.
The wind was coming ahead, and as the windmill fell, a huge wind blade slashed through his arm. If it weren't for his quick reaction and being pulled by the guy who was following closely behind him, he would probably have been cut in half by this wind blade!
It was only when he got up from the mud and looked at the big windmill that fell in front of him that he felt the horror of his sobriety.
He almost got crushed to death by this thing!
The whole farm was in chaos, the Meng family brothers and sisters were not there, Feng Zhenglai took a group of young people to the mountain again, only Xia Qing and Jiang Chunyu led a group of women and children to run in panic.
If it weren't for the drunken Daming and the others being pushed over, the farm might be the first to go wrong.
