A large number of townspeople fled with their children and daughters, and even their belongings were too late to pack up their belongings. In a short time, the flood water spread all over the street, and it was rising at a speed that was visible to the naked eye, and the town's drainage system was in full swing, but it was still useless.

The warehouse where Xuanyi was located was more than three meters high, but the patches in the corners and the heavy metal doors could not stop the floodwater, and soon, the hall on the first floor was flooded.

The two high-powered drainers roared silently for less than a moment, and the sediment, branches and all kinds of debris carried by the flood blocked the fan blades of the drainers.

The flood is still rising, and it will soon reach the second floor, countless shelves have collapsed and collapsed, and all kinds of alloys and metals have sunk to the bottom or floated on the water, according to this rain, it is estimated that the third floor will also be submerged.

Xuanyi had no way out, he put on a life jacket hanging in the corner of the wall, held a lifebuoy made of rubber tires, climbed onto the table, the window was too small, there was no way to escape and climb out, Xuanyi could only wrap the quilt against the wall, and fell asleep in a daze.

After a while, the day dawned, the torrential rain stopped, and the flood water partially receded, only reaching the escalator on the second floor of the warehouse.

With little food left, Xuanyi must find a way to escape from this cage.

The only way out is to open the steel gate that is completely submerged in the water, but Xuanyi alone is destined to be unable to achieve it, and the government's rescue is far away, and Xuanyi decides to save himself.

He planned to unblock the clogged drain first, and Xuanyi slowly dived into the water with his hands on the stairs, the water was deep and cloudy and impossible to see. After a lot of effort, Xuanyi cleaned the fan blades of the two draining machines through a metal rod he found, and the roar of the machine soon sounded again.

The stagnant water inside the warehouse was constantly draining out, and the stagnant water from the outside was pouring in through the steel gates. Gradually, the gate was squeezed into an arc, barely allowing one person to swim through. Xuanyi took a deep breath, took off his life jacket and dived into the water again to swim out.

Xuanyi struggled to squeeze out through the crack in the door, expending a lot of strength, there were too many debris floating in the water, which fell on his body from time to time, and he could only pick up a floating log in an attempt to recover some strength.

Suddenly, a powerful suction burst out from under the water, and the turbid flood was being swallowed by a terrifying mouth, forming a huge whirlpool, Xuanyi suddenly felt the sky spinning, and then was hit by an unknown debris and fainted.

The flood raged for three days before slowly receding, and Huaihuan Village was full of devastation and devastation. According to relevant media reports, the flood caused the displacement of more than 3,000 townspeople, huge economic losses, and five people, including Xuanyi, went missing.

I don't know how long later, Xuanyi woke up, it was getting late, there was no more flooding around him, he found himself lying under a tree, like a falling apart, not only weak limbs but also severe pain. Xuanyi straightened up with difficulty, leaned against the tree, and observed the surrounding environment.

It was a wilderness, with endless mountains rolling and falling, and Xuanyi vaguely remembered that he had been sucked into a hole by a huge whirlpool, and then had no memory. Touching his pocket, the small wooden sign inside was still there, emitting a faint heat through his palm, and Xuanyi suddenly faintly felt that his body seemed to have recovered. Carefully observing the big tree in front of him, it was very similar to the one that was struck by lightning a few days ago, and Xuanyi's heart was suddenly full of doubts.

"Ding~Ding!" The sound of a bell sounded in the distance, and it was very abrupt in this wilderness.

Xuanyi was excited, slowly stood up, subconsciously touched his waist, and there was only a waterproof strong flashlight in his hand.

After a while, a convoy of 100 people came into view, hundreds of men on foot, fully armed, escorting dozens of carriages forward, and more than a dozen knights escorting both sides. The carriage was planted with a small triangular red flag, and the words "Zhenyuan Dart Bureau" were written on it.

"Who is it?" the rider at the head of the team shouted, and the whole convoy suddenly stopped, and all of them clenched their weapons, and looked at Xuanyi vigilantly with bows and arrows.

Finally, after Xuanyi's painstaking explanation, the dart masters believed that Xuanyi had no bad intentions, and tentatively agreed to join the team and go to the next foothold. Xuanyi followed the dart masters and learned that about twenty miles ahead was the destination of the dart bureau, Wuguo Town, Yuancheng.

Xuanyi took the initiative to talk to the dart masters around him, and after a while, he got acquainted with several people around him and found out the information he needed.

The existence of this world is similar to the previous Chinese dynasty where Xuanyi was located, and there are dozens of large and small countries on the eastern continent where it is currently located, and the Wu Dynasty is the most extensive and populous.

Xuanyi saw a dart master split a fallen tree with a thickness of more than one meter into two with a knife, and there were faint traces of burning at the broken trunk.

Xuanyi must be in his heart that this may be a relatively "advanced" martial arts world.

When the Wu Dynasty was the son of today, he succeeded to the throne for eight years, Emperor Shuntian was generous and loved the people, implemented benevolent government, and was quite loved by the people.

In this environment, the people have made great progress for decades, and although they have not reached the level of not leaving behind the road and not closing their homes at night, they still have enough food and clothing, and live and work in peace and contentment.

Everyone in the Wu Dynasty was martial and attached great importance to the inheritance of martial arts, and all provinces had martial arts sects that had been passed down for decades or even hundreds of years. The government allowed the people to recuperate, but did not dare to allow the people to violate the ban by force, so the Supervision Department was established. The main duties of the Supervision Department are to supervise the maintenance of order in the martial arts, punish and arrest martial artists who violate laws and disciplines, and canonize and reward meritorious sects and individuals.

At present, there are three top-level martial arts sects in the Wu Dynasty, eight first-level sects, twelve second-level sects, and twenty third-level sects.

The level of martial arts and the level of martial arts realm are assessed according to level 1 to level 9, with level 1 being the lowest and level 9 being the highest. Of course, there are also top figures above the ninth level, which the Supervision Department refers to as grandmasters.

Xuanyi and the dart master Wang Dahu and Song Long exchanged names, and the three of them talked for a long time, and the two straightforward men did not hide anything at all, and they did everything they knew. They didn't have much defense against Xuanyi, a stranger who was known as a "shipwreck", and in their opinion, an ordinary person who didn't even have internal strength could pose a threat to the entire convoy.

The twenty-mile road is not long or short, and the Xuanyi who has been hungry for a day is tired and sweaty, almost exhausted. He gratefully took a meat bun handed by Wang Dahu and devoured it. Xuanyi touched his pockets, there were only a few small denomination bills, he embarrassedly took out a twenty yuan face value and handed it to Wang Dahu, thinking: Twenty yuan to buy a retro hamburger should be enough.

Wang Dahu took the banknote with a look of surprise on his face, in the forty years of his life, he dared to guarantee that he had never seen such a special material of paper.

Wang Dahu arched his hand and said, "Thank you, little brother Xuan." ”

Xuanyi hurriedly waved his hand: "It should be me who thanks Brother Wang for his kindness." ”

With food in his belly to satisfy his hunger, Xuanyi gradually regained some strength, and laughter came from the horse team in front of him, and it didn't take long. The silhouette of a city comes into view.

The moats, drawbridges, walls, two neat columns of janitors, and the queues of men and horses waiting to enter the city were dyed golden by the afterglow of the setting sun. On the towering city gate, there are two vigorous characters - "Zhenyuan".
