Chapter 495: A flash flood hits
The rain in Ningqiu City is getting heavier and heavier.
After Lei Jun left the office, Chu Chen stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the rain that was getting heavier and heavier outside.
The drainage system of the base, Zhang Yuan designed it very perfectly, not only did it rain for more than a week, but it did not let the water accumulate inside the base, and even now the light rain has gradually turned into a heavy rain, and there is still no water accumulation inside the base!
Seeing this situation, Chu Chen had more confidence in the flood control measures on the west side of the base.
It's not that Chu Chen hasn't thought about it, and he wants to go to the west to check it out in person, but Jiang Xin doesn't have any experience in dealing with major matters after all, and even if Chu Chen himself goes to observe it, it is estimated that there are no guys who have turned into owls to see it clearly and carefully!
The mutated sweet potatoes are almost ready to be harvested, although even if they are lost once, it is not a big deal, after all, with so many druids now, it has become extremely easy to grow most crops, and it is basically guaranteed that it can be harvested once in just over a month.
But if this mutated sweet potato is flooded, or even washed away, then the food stamps promised to Wei Shuo will be a little troublesome, if you only rely on sea salt, God knows how much Longgang City can produce?
"Do, do, do!"
There were a few knocks outside the door, which made Chu Chen come back to his senses: "Come in." ”
After the door was pushed open, Jiang Xin walked in and said to Chu Chen anxiously: "Chen, it's raining heavily in the mountains to the west!" There were even a few druids who reported that they had seen a few new rivers! ”
Chu Chen's face changed, and he asked Jiang Xin, "Shi Yingying, have you finished cleaning up the stagnant water?" Let them come back immediately, or I'm afraid there will be danger! ”
Jiang Xin smiled reluctantly and replied, "I'm back, Shi Yingying's ability to control water is very strong, and she and those water magicians have already cleaned up the stagnant water and returned to the base." ”
Chu Chen exhaled lightly and smiled at Jiang Xin: "Then it's nothing, let's go, let's also go to the west city wall to guard, just in case!" ”
……
When Chu Chen took Jiang Xin and was about to rush out of the office building and go to the west of the city in the rain, he happened to be seen by Shi Yingying who was passing by.
She saw that Chu Chen actually rushed directly into the rain, so she followed behind Chu Chen, controlled the rain above the heads of the three people in the falling road, and slid to the side.
Shi Yingying is the most powerful ice archer in the base.
Well, her profession is indeed not suitable for her talent, and Chu Chen has to take at least half of the responsibility for this matter.
At the beginning, because Shi Yingying wanted Chu Chen to help her choose a career, Chu Chen didn't think much about it, and casually let Shi Yingying change her job to become an archer.
Back to the topic, because Shi Yingying is the most powerful professional in the base, controlling the water element, so Chu Chen is also happy to take her to the city wall to guard, if there is really any accident, Shi Yingying is on the front line, so she can help at any time.
Moreover, don't say that Jiang Xin can't get drenched in the rain, it's Chu Chen himself, if he can't get drenched in the rain, it's best not to get drenched in the rain!
After all, before the disaster came, Chu Chen lacked exercise, and after the disaster came, Chu Chen awakened and became an awakened person who was biased towards the law system.
When the three of them arrived at the western wall, more than a thousand people had already gathered.
Among them, there are about 600 city guards, and Zhang Yuan is also here, and he also brings the more than 300 earth magicians under his command.
He Xing, Zhang Yunxian, and Cai Yaqi also waited on the city wall with their own earth and water magicians.
It is worth mentioning that although the rain is getting heavier and heavier, and now it has turned into a torrential rain, the people on the city wall will not be drenched by the rain outside.
After Chu Chen asked, he found out that after Zhang Yuan and the others came over, they found that the city guards guarding here were actually standing under the heavy rain like this, without any protective measures.
Therefore, Zhang Yuan led the earth magicians under his command to condense a small amount of earth magic elements on the city wall and build a simple wall roof to shelter from the wind and rain.
Seeing Chu Chen coming up with Jiang Xin and Shi Yingying, He Rong, who was holding on to the city wall, hurriedly brought the three of them to the westernmost part of the city wall, at the sharp corner of the city wall.
This is the place where the vision is broadest, and the changes in the situation are also the first to grasp.
Chu Chen had never seen a flash flood erupt, so he didn't know much about the current situation.
And Zhang Yuan, who had been staying here for a long time, explained to Chu Chen after seeing Chu Chen coming: "Boss Chu, the flash flood has broken out, but the current flood is only the rain washed down from several nearby mountains, plus most of the impact was weakened by that forest, and it caused a diversion effect, which caused the vicinity of our base to be not affected at all. ”
After Chu Chen nodded, he asked Zhang Yuan, "Uncle Zhang, what do you mean, will the torrent come more violently behind this?" Can our base resist it? ”
Zhang Yuan first smiled and waved his hand, but when he saw Chu Chen's serious expression, he restrained the smile on his face and explained to Chu Chen seriously: "Boss Chu, when the rain in the mountains is all gathered together, when it hits down, the flood is the most violent!" But don't worry, it's not the time before the disaster, and now, with the sheer variety of tools and abilities of those of us professionals, it shouldn't be a problem to withstand the flood if we are well prepared! ”
After listening to Zhang Yuan's explanation and seeing that Zhang Yuan was confident, Chu Chen nodded reassuringly and looked at the torrential rain outside.
……
"Boom~!"
A bolt of lightning slashed across the distant mountain, and then there was some fire, as if it had ignited something, and then there was a burst of thunder!
In Chu Chen's right eye, a silver-white 'giant python' poked its head out from the depths of the mountain range and meandered down the rugged mountain road.
After rushing out of the mountain range, the silvery-white 'giant python' grew a little stronger, and quickly attacked the forest not far away, and slammed into the forest with extraordinary bravery.
On the west side of the forest area are several towering trees specially transplanted by Xiao Qi and others!
After being hit by the 'giant python', those big trees stood still! On the contrary, the 'giant python' was smashed into pieces and turned into several silver-white 'big snakes'.
The two larger 'big snakes' flowed to the north and south respectively, and the other 'big snakes' with slightly smaller bodies burrowed into the forest and disappeared from Chu Chen's sight.
After a while, several silver-white 'big snakes' poked their heads out of the east side of the forest and slowly flowed into the giant lake dug and built by Zhang Yuan and others.
Although the reservoir at the bottom of the lake was cleaned up by Shi Yingying and others, it had already been filled with the torrential rain.
After these silver-white 'big snakes' merged into the lake, the water level of the lake rose a lot, and it is still rising.
After about an hour, the lake was filled to the fullest, and the water began to flow from the north and south ends, wading through the moat and flowing to the east of the base.
Seeing this situation, Chu Chen took a long breath and asked Zhang Yuan beside him, "Uncle Zhang, is the current situation stable?" Although the flood water in the mountains has been pouring down, it has also waded through the outside of our base and flowed to the east, so there should be no problem, right? ”
Zhang Yuan's face was a little worried, he nodded to Chu Chen, and replied: "Well, as long as there are no accidents, even if this rainstorm lasts for three days and three nights, the base should be fine, it's just ......"
"Just?"
Chu Chen asked in surprise, "It's just what?" Uncle Zhang, please speak directly. ”
Zhang Yuan smiled reluctantly and explained to Chu Chen: "It's just that there are always many problems with this kind of design, first of all, this flood pouring down, although it will not have any impact on our base, but for those survivors who live in the east of Ningqiu City, it is still a disaster!" ”
After a pause, Zhang Yuan pointed to the north and south sides of the base again, and said to Chu Chen: "In addition, there are 10,000 acres of fertile land outside the base, although you can't use it at the moment, Boss Chu, but when the number of survivors in our Ningqiu City increases, you will use these fertile fields sooner or later, and as long as the flood comes, these fertile fields will instantly turn into sand, and they will have no effect at all!" ”
