Chapter 694: Dam Collapse [Ask for a monthly pass, ask for a subscription]

"The water level of the Negro River, a tributary of the northern Amazon River, has reached more than 38 metres, far exceeding the previous record high of 30 metres.

In the Brazilian state of Amazonas, the cities of San Gabriel da Cachoeira, Santa Isabel Rio Negro, Novo Ayrão and Barcelos were flooded, forcing the evacuation of about 100,000 local residents and tourists, and the local rainforest was immeasurably damaged.

Floodwaters are continuing to spread to other cities downstream, approaching the state's capital, Manaus, which has declared a state of emergency for 2.2 million people. The mayor of Manaus, Toyás, said that based on research by hydrologists and geologists from several departments, they predict that the water level of the Negro River will continue to rise throughout June, and that flooding could inundate many parts of the city and surrounding areas.

Brazil is currently working on disaster relief efforts to evacuate all affected people to safe states.

However, disaster prevention experts in many countries say that the entire city along the Amazon River is at risk of being affected and call for people to be prepared to evacuate. The risk of the floods being projected to leave up to a million people homeless and potentially exterminating local indigenous communities is already unbelievably high. ”

"The catastrophic flooding of the Mississippi River in Citigroup continues to escalate, with water levels in many tributaries breaking through record highs.

Minnesota, the hardest-hit state, has seen several dams burst and flooded several cities, including the state's capital, St. Paul. Governor Tissle said it was heartbreaking that people were suffering a lot of home and property damage. Evacuation operations are already underway and affected areas are being covered. Tisle reminded people to stay connected, take care of each other, and be prepared to evacuate immediately to shelters across the state.

At the same time, the Federal Weather Service has issued flood warnings for the neighboring states of Wisconsin, Michigan, Iowa, Illinois, Missouri, and other states, which are also facing flooding, with more than 20 million people expected to be affected.

The former chief economist of the World Bank said that the Great Depression and the Great Global Economic Recession were inevitable. The catastrophic floods that have struck all over the world in recent days will completely change the global landscape, and the global economy will face the worst situation in modern times, and the risk of war is already emerging. ”

"Sochi, a city on the Black Sea coast in the south of the Rus' country, was hit by devastating floods, causing several levees and reservoirs to burst and a large number of buildings to be submerged. At least 1,000 people have been killed and more than 3,000 are missing, most of them while driving. ”

"The water level of the Danube, the second largest river in Europe, rose to a record high of 21.5 meters, and the flood flooded all of Munich, the capital of Bavaria, Germany."

Some meteorological experts say that these sudden floods around the world are related to the El Niño phenomenon. This is an anomalous natural phenomenon that causes chaotic weather conditions, with excessive precipitation triggering flooding. ”

……

The rumbling torrent roared past, crashing through the buildings and sweeping everything in its path, the pitch-black color was shocking.

The flood came so fast and there were so many people to evacuate that the city along the Black River called Manaus was like hell at the moment.

Bagbo clung to a large plank, washed and swung by the torrent, and the only sound in his ears was the roar of the flood, and he could not even hear his own cries.

He and his family, students and colleagues evacuated from San Gabriel da Cachoella to Manaus, but now the flood has inundated Manaus, leaving more than two million people in the storm. Supernatural powers, supernatural forces for sure......

When he first saw the flood with his students on the banks of the Negro River that morning, he knew that it could not be any natural phenomenon......

The surrounding street, which was originally near the hospital, had become a vast ocean, and a figure struggled to flash in the torrent, but in the blink of an eye, it was swallowed by the black water.

"Ah......h

But he didn't last long, he got sick, a very strange disease, which had progressed rapidly for a few days, and he had stiffness all over his body.

And the water level is still rising, and the flood is getting more violent, as if all of a sudden, the dam has completely collapsed.

Before, it could barely block a block, but now all protection has been shattered.

There will be a great wailing in all the land of Egypt, and there was not such as it before, nor will there be again......

At this time, Bagbo felt that the pain in his hands was getting stronger and stronger, and he was getting stiffer and stiffer, the inexplicable torrent in his body was faster, and the inexplicable blood-colored pyramid in front of him was even bigger...... Every vein was pounded by the black river, and every piece of flesh was tumbling......

Suddenly, he could no longer hold on, the plank in his hand was washed away, and he himself was swept away by the flood.

At some point, he seemed to see his family and students, who were also trapped in the torrent, around.

The black water poured into his mouth and into his lungs, and Bagbo could not breathe, his heart froze in pain, and the blood-colored pyramid that kept appearing before him replaced everything he could perceive...... He is already part of the pyramid.

……

"You'll see it, come one by one, don't crowd, line up, you'll see it!"

The waiting room of the orthopedic surgery department on the fifth floor of the outpatient complex of Dahua Jikang Hospital was crowded with patients who came to see him, and a team of Tianji personnel wearing airtight protective clothing hurriedly walked by. In less than 12 hours, the number of patients has exploded, regardless of age and gender, and has spread across the entire population.

The cries of pain, the cries of children, and some anxious scolding all resounded in the waiting room.

At first, the patients were able to wait patiently, but soon they realized that something was wrong, that there were too many people, that there were too many people, that they were too concentrated, and that the symptoms seemed to be the same......

Because everyone was clutching a body part and screaming pain, the nurses were dealing with it with ice packs. They only need to ask each other to know that each other has sudden acute bone pain, and the pain is so painful that they can't move their joints......

This discovery immediately caused a panic in the waiting room, and the patients became agitated, and the hospital security guards were about to lose control.

After the arrival of the celestial personnel, the panic became a reality, and the patients were excited and scared, and some of them screamed.

"What's going on? What's going on!? ”

"We haven't eaten anything......"

"Look at my child, he's in a lot of pain."

In this team of celestial personnel, many of those protective suits are young faces, and they can only try their best to maintain the order that will collapse at any time.

They are students who were urgently transferred from Tianji University and have not yet completed their studies.

But they knew roughly that they had to fight. This situation in the waiting room is not only happening in Jikang Hospital, but also in other hospitals in Dahua City, as well as hospitals in other cities...... Suddenly, there was a full-blown outbreak.

"Doctor, the elbow joint of my left hand is suddenly very painful, and I haven't done any heavy work, and I'm a little tired from playing with my phone, but ......"

In one of the consultation rooms, Dr. Xiao Gang listened to another patient's panicked story, but he was also at a loss.

Progressive muscular ossification...... Progressive muscular ossification again......

Or it is more accurate to say that the "petrification disease" explained by the training of the Tianji Bureau. But unlike cases abroad, these patients all start with acute bone pain in a certain joint, and it does not develop slowly, or even as quickly as it takes a few days.

It seems that the condition that had been suppressed before suddenly broke out, which led to this acute bone pain.

Xiao Gang now knew that this disease was related to supernatural forces, and he couldn't understand it with common sense at all.

But he didn't understand it at all.

"Doctor? Doctor? The patient across the desk asked urgently.

At the beginning, Xiao Gang also asked the patient to take X-rays and measure the level of alkaline phosphatase and bone-specific alkaline phosphatase according to the procedures explained by the Tianji Bureau.

Xiao Gang leaned back in his chair blankly, and suddenly, his right shoulder joint tingled a little because of this pull.

And this pain has aggravated dramatically...... Acute bone pain.
