The earthquake stopped.

Strangely enough, when the earthquake stopped, the rain stopped.

The clouds slowly dispersed, and the heavens and the earth brightened a little.

The white light of the sky came out from behind the clouds, and the sky and the earth were hazy for a while.

The vehicles had all stopped, and people seemed to be panicking.

Cheng Lin followed Qiao Ya and the others all the way forward, walking along the dilapidated road, and after a short time, they came to the front.

The road here is on high ground and down a large slope.

Therefore, after the collapse of the river, the river water spreads and flows to the lower places, and it does not have much impact on the back.

"It's probably a blessing in misfortune."

Cheng Lin thought in his heart.

The open-way striker who was at the front of the team is long gone.

I could only see the huge lone truck parked on the slope - it was the car of the director of the second division and others.

The group of officials who had been noisy before were all standing next to the car, looking ahead in a daze, with a desolate expression.

The director of the second division was standing at the front of the slope, looking at the rolling river.

Cheng Lin also looked over.

I was surprised.

The crumbling Nu River is spreading farther along the low-lying road.

The river was diverted, and the road was completely submerged and submerged under the water.

If nothing changes, in a few years' time, it will be the basis for a new course.

The river is extremely angry, fierce, and turbid.

Two high-level powerhouses of at least rank seven or above were trying to swim up the river from the river.

After a while, he landed on the shore, but he was also exhausted, and his body was blue and purple.

Such a sudden and powerful impact would not have survived without a sufficiently powerful life.

"Director! Person...... They're gone......"

A high-ranking monk said sadly.

"Got it, you go and rest first." The director of the second division said expressionlessly.

The monk tried to say something, but he just shook his head and left.

As soon as he took a few steps, he was catching up with Cheng Lin, who was floating up, and he immediately choked up, and there were a few sounds in his throat.

In the end, he just glanced at Cheng Lin a few times with complicated eyes, turned his head and left.

"Director, he ...... Here it comes. ”

A small lapel said.

The director of the second division did not speak, turned his back to everyone, waved his hand, and everyone looked at it and took a few steps back.

Only Cheng Lin and the director were left standing on the bank of the Nu River.

"You're looking for me?"

Cheng Lin stood quietly, put his hands together in the sleeves of his robe, and asked softly.

The Director of the Second Division finally turned around, his face expressionless.

But Cheng Lin could see that almost every wrinkle hid the weight of Wan Jun, and his eyes were extremely complicated, making it impossible to see through the thoughts.

The two looked at each other silently, neither of them spoke.

For some reason, Cheng Lin felt that the powerful momentum on the other party's body had disappeared a lot, and the expression on his face was completely different from before.

Nu River Call.

The waves hit a stone, making a huge splash and spilling on the director of the second division.

This time, the water was not bounced off in advance, but wet his clothes without any obstacles.

Cheng Lin found that the other party's originally dry and neat clothes were not wet, and the trouser legs and leather shoes were also stained with yellow mud.

"You expected that."

He finally spoke.

Cheng Lin nodded: "That's why I'm going to stop you." ”

"But I didn't believe it, and drove you away."

"It's a normal thing, and if I were you, I would probably make the same decision." Cheng Lin said.

"It seems...... It was me who was wrong. He grimaced.

"Knowing that mistakes can be corrected, and good is great." Cheng Lindao.

The director of the second division looked at the murky new river channel and laughed at himself: "Is it too late to change?" ”

Cheng Lin said tentatively: "There are not many people who have been washed away." ”

It is indeed not much, Cheng Lin's previous appearance was blocked for a few minutes, plus the forward and the large army maintained a sufficient buffer distance, plus the director returned decisively in advance, and forcibly ordered the vehicle to stop.

Therefore, the number of people caused by the diversion of the river this time is not large.

That's a tiny fraction of the millions of people.

"It's not a lot, but it's ...... That's the most elite unit in the whole team! ”

The director said word by word.

There is great depression and great grief in the steady tone.

The forward troops had only a dozen carts, and the number did not exceed a thousand.

But that almost included the most elite people in the entire army!

At this moment, except for a few high-ranking cultivators who desperately crawled out, the rest of the cultivators were all wiped out!

This is an extremely huge blow to the strength of the entire team.

But that's not the most important thing.

"The most important thing is ...... The road is broken. ”

The director said in a hoarse voice.

Cheng Lin looked at him and asked, "Can't you take a detour?" ”

"It's completely broken, I've seen it, the coverage is too big, it's too late to take a detour, it's too late."

"How many more days will the food in the team last?" Cheng Lin asked again.

"How many days?" The director smiled bitterly, "I'm afraid you don't have a concept of the amount of food for millions of people, right?" Few days...... Now with all the food in stock, I can barely eat two meals! ”

After a pause, he continued:

"If we can't get to the new supply point before dark, we won't have the strength to reach Shashi, and we won't get new food supplies...... Disastrous! ”

Disastrous......

Cheng Lin thought for a moment, millions of people without food......

He felt so nervous inexplicably.

Put it this way.

The situation seems to have reached a dead end.

Food could not support the detour, but the river was blocked, and it was obviously impossible to move forward.

It's an unsolvable puzzle.

If it really comes to the last moment, Cheng Lin feels that the best way is probably to give up.

It seems very difficult to give up most people and only take a small number of people to take a detour to leave, because the people who are given up will inevitably not be reconciled, and it also seems very simple, the Nine Rank cultivators cannot cope with natural disasters, but they can destroy man-made disasters.

As long as this director is ruthless enough, he alone can kill tens of thousands of people, and no one dares to resist, but in that case......

Cheng Lin shuddered inexplicably.

At this time, a small lapel suddenly rushed to report: "Director! Oh no! I don't know how, the people know the situation, someone is trying to incite the people, there is chaos at the bottom, and the bullet can't be suppressed......"

The face of the director of the second division changed, and he subconsciously wanted to order the powerful men in the forward team to deal with it, but he was stunned to remember that the entire forward was almost dead.

"Take me!"

He pursed his lips and said.

Then he quickly left.

didn't look at Cheng Lin again.

In fact, the reason why this director came to Cheng Lin was probably only driven by some emotion, but he did not put the hope of solving the problem on Cheng Lin.

Prophecy can predict danger and avoid it in advance.

But if it happens, it is not something that can be solved by prophecy.

Today's dilemma is completely unsolvable.

It's a desperate situation.

……

……

Good things don't go out, but bad things spread thousands of miles.

The earthquake caused the river to burst its banks and divert its route, completely blocking the road.

There are many people in the population who are aware of their surroundings.

People can easily tell that it takes a long time to make a detour.

And the whole team did not carry much food, which is also a matter of everyone's knowledge.

……

[At first, it was a simple disaster that spread quickly.]

[Then, rumors spread]

[Someone somehow learned about the current team's food stock and announced it, causing an uproar among the people]

[Then, different versions of the rumors began to spread rapidly, most of which pointed to the government that the government would abandon some ordinary people and only lead a few high-class people with identity backgrounds to leave]

[This rumor is getting worse, but it's still under control]

[Two hours flew by, and the people sent to find the way returned in vain, and some vehicles began to evacuate secretly and in an organized manner, and were discovered by the people]

[The accumulated fear broke out in an instant, and fierce conflicts broke out between the people and government personnel, and soon the conflict escalated, and the director of the second division came forward to mediate, but to no avail]

[The situation is getting worse and worse, three hours have passed, a million-person riot is about to break out, and the people have surrounded the vehicles in the command center, and the situation is precarious]
