Chapter 57: Heavenly Punishment

No matter how you go around, you will always reach the final destination, which is like a circle, from the left or from the beginning, and you will eventually come to that intersection. There is no shortcut to all kinds of events, and all kinds of difficulties will be encountered from any of them, and this is even more true of becoming a Buddha and becoming a Taoist, just like what Ye Qiu said, all of them are fixed.

The rest plus Cha Wenbin is a total of eleven people, and those four people are afraid that they will be left here forever, although Jia Daoshi promised that they would take their ashes, but how serious can the promise to the dead be? Besides, the place they were left there was a place they never wanted to set foot in again in their lives.

At night, the Merlin Reservoir is quiet, but the embankment is brightly lit, and Li Jing is no longer young compared to that year. At that time, he was young and vigorous, thinking that he would achieve a great career, but in the end he was left with a fiasco. Now the new generation of Luomen people are following in the footsteps of their predecessors to continue their career from generation to generation, he knows that Jia Daoshi will never come back, looking at the vague figure of the tyrant in the middle of the lake, Li Jing's heart has an indescribable taste.

It was about as soon as they entered, that the sky, which had been round, became overcast, and the rain stopped in the afternoon. The air pressure is very low, and the moisture in the air makes people's skin slimy. As an experienced elder, Li Jing judged that this was a sign before the next bigger storm came, so after they entered, Li Jing immediately sent people to check the movement of the surrounding mountains and the dark river in the distance.

His fears were not unreasonable, and just a few minutes earlier, a low thunder began to sound in the sky, mixed with flickering sparks, and the wind grew stronger, and the sky, which had been stopped for a while, began to rain lightly again. The army, which had been busy for several days, also needed to get enough rest, and with the exception of some of the patrols, more people returned to their tents after dinner. Tired makes it easier for people to enter the land of sleep quickly, Li Jing is a responsible leader, he led people to inspect the barracks one by one, and instructed the night watchmen to pay attention to safety.

Because the Merlin Reservoir has been abandoned for a long time, there is no electricity in the mountainous area, so in order to ensure the operation of the equipment, a batch of diesel generators were called in at the beginning. The generators are composed of two teams of people who work in 24-hour shifts to ensure the continuous use of electricity on the construction site, which is also the focus of Li Jing's every inspection.

As usual, after finishing the inspection of the camp and the sentry, Li Jing wanted to go to the equipment group to have a look. There are not only power generation equipment, but also a series of other machinery maintenance and storage, a few strong lights on the lake surface illuminate the earth white, and the hazy drizzle makes the view not very sufficient. Suddenly, he saw a puff of smoke rising from the tent of the equipment group, Li Jing secretly said that it was bad, and immediately rushed over to greet the people, but after a few steps, a huge fire rose into the sky, and there was still diesel fuel used to generate electricity!

At the same time, all the electrical equipment stopped working in an instant, and then a huge explosion began to be heard, and the explosion caused the tents to fall apart in an instant, and some people waved their bodies in the raging fire and wailed in pain and soon fell to the ground. Then there was a series of explosions, which were so loud that the sleeping people immediately got up and watched the shocking scene.

"How can it be ......" As we all know, although diesel is a flammable product, it is difficult to ignite, and it requires a much higher ignition point than gasoline and kerosene, so it is difficult for ordinary diesel cars to explode even if you throw cigarette butts into the oil tank. But diesel has another characteristic, in the mixed space of oil and gas, there is a spark or open flame will explode, the equipment team is all professionals, how can they make such a low-level mistake?

The movement of this explosion was really a bit loud, and they also heard it underground, because the situation was unknown, so Jia Daoshi thought that it was just Li Jing directing people to do some blasting work, where did they think that the current Merlin Reservoir had just begun to start a night massacre.

Li Jing, who was stunned by the explosion, immediately reacted, all the pumping machines at the bottom of the lake were working, and the rainfall in the past few days was too great, even if they made preparations for interception, there was still a large amount of rain pouring down from all sides. The water at the bottom of the lake must not be accumulated, otherwise as soon as the water level rises and pours down from the entrance, Jia Daoshi and Cha Wenbin and their party will really be blind.

He immediately began to organize everyone to devote themselves to the drainage work, and it was the people of Roman, who were still in order at this moment. At the sound of the order, people began to put on their equipment again, and swarmed around with miner's lamps and torches. Reinforcement and interception, diversion of ravines, construction of dikes, and more people devote themselves to manual drainage work, using basins, buckets and even soup pots for eating, in short, all the methods that can be used are used, Li Jing knelt on the embankment by the lake, he prayed that God could let him survive this period of time, and it would never rain again.

But the heavenly work is not beautiful, the rain not only began to increase and even a little violent, the hazy drizzle became a torrential rain in an instant, the wind and rain and thunder and lightning were combined, the Molin Reservoir was extremely high, and it was in the low-lying land surrounded by mountains on all sides. Under such circumstances, Li Jing rashly invested troops to drain the water, and Li Jing's heart understood the possible consequences.

Things are far more complicated than he thought, mountain floods have always come as they say, as the saying goes, water and fire are merciless, and turbid floods come much faster than the speed of human removal. Around that entrance, Li Jing had already built a waterproof embankment, but the bottom of the lake, which had dried up at noon, was below his ankle in an instant, and if this amount of rain continued, the lake would be waist-high in less than an hour. What's worse is that the rain for several days has already caused the water storage in the surrounding mountains and forests to reach the saturation point, and if they also come down with them, it will really be dead and there is no place to bury.

Seeing that the lake was rising faster and faster, Li Jing made a decision, and it was this decision that allowed Cha Wenbin and them to escape. He instructed the engineers to stir the concrete immediately, and he was to block the entrance to the bottom of the lake with the concrete as soon as possible, just in case the water was too fast and they would drown alive.

Full execution is the standard to test whether a team is excellent, and here, execution has been perfectly reflected. Without equipment, they used their shoulders to carry the huge stones to the location in the lake one after another, in fact, everyone was already tired and could not hold on anymore at this moment, but the scene was not chaotic because of this. In order to secure this gap, the work of draining the bottom of the lake continues, and people fight back and forth with nature all night long, doing their best for those who are brave.

Time passed minute by minute, and his arm was no longer his own, and Li Jing, who was soaked all over, finally felt a little relieved when he looked at the brothers who were like machines. At this moment, the water level has reached the thigh, and the rain still does not stop, and the limbs soaked in the water gradually begin to numb. The person sent out to deliver the letter has already gone to the county town to find spare power generation equipment, and the fastest speed is estimated to arrive at noon tomorrow Li Jing took out the wine jug and raised his neck and poured it down, he needed a little alcohol stimulation, after all, he was not a young man.

Before swallowing a sip of wine, a huge lightning bolt crossed the sky, like a dragon, illuminating the entire earth transparently. In an instant, Li Jing blocked his eyes with his hand, and when he opened it again, there were already too many people floating on the lake......

Fear still happened after all, thunderstorms in the lake, and in the high-altitude mountains, such an environment is undoubtedly the most natural conductor. Lightning connected the sky and the earth, pierced the sky and plunged straight into the middle of the lake, and in an instant, a huge voltage spread in all directions, and no one could escape, not even have time to react......

This sudden thunder and lightning caused Li Jing's men and horses to lose more than half, except for some shore watchers and interceptions in the forest, most of the rest of the manpower was invested in the Merlin Reservoir. There is the breath of death everywhere, in fact, God has already issued a warning before, but Li Jing weighed it again and again and decided to take a gamble, this time he lost, and the loss was incomplete!

The rain beat down on his face, and he knelt on the muddy shore, as if God had intended to let him go, so that he could watch those young lives die like this. Without manpower, the lake rose rapidly before an instant, and only the part of the eye was still exposed on the forehead of the tyrant, and the irony was that those eyes were staring at Li Jing on the embankment at the moment, as if to say to him: Look, this is retribution.

Daoist Jia below, suddenly felt a pain in his heart, Cha Wenbin looked at his face twitched slightly, then stopped and asked, "Is there anything uncomfortable with the seniors?" ”

"I didn't ...... No," Jia Daoist said unnaturally, "Let's continue, everyone be careful." ”

The wind is blowing on the lake, and the rain is still raging. The corpses on the embankment were neatly placed one after another, and the rest of the people held back the incomparable sadness in their hearts to leave the last trace of dignity for the deceased, let me ask Li Jing, how can you be worthy of these brothers who were sent to the underworld by your own hands?

The crisp sound of gunfire crossed the night, and 003 plunged into the lake on his back, and in an instant, the blood of the large flowers slowly spread out like a blooming rose. Death may not be the best way to apologize, but it is the only choice in his heart at this moment......
