It's dark, and my head is splitting...

Ma Ban's ears were full of buzzing noises, his surging blood pressure hit his mind one after another, his eyelids were hard to open as if they were filled with lead, and his hands and feet were already out of control, and he tried to stand up several times, but he quickly fell down.

I don't know how long it took, it seemed like a few minutes, it seemed like a few hours, the feeling of heat and cold came up all over my body and slowly drained away, and my consciousness gradually regained consciousness, and I opened my eyes in a daze.

Judging from the situation at the scene, his coma was not long ago, the embankment guards had already broken through the blocked gate, and entered the hub control room, some to help the embankment supervisor who had been knocked to the ground, and some clenched their weapons and aimed them at Ma Spot, staring at him.

The beggar was nowhere to be seen, and he should have jumped out of the window and escaped by night, but no matter how he escaped, it was pointless, because when he pulled down the control lever, he left a finger mark on it, and he must have been found when he investigated the scene afterwards, and it was nothing more than early death and late death.

The Director had also woken up by this time, and he covered his red and swollen side face, gasping incessantly.

After checking the console, one of the guards walked quickly to the supervisor's side and said nervously, "My lord, Gate No. 1 has been opened, and the control lever has been violently smashed, causing it to get stuck, and it can't be closed back now." ”

Hearing the sound, Ma Ban poked his head out of the window in a distraction, and through the lights on the embankment, he could see that the No. 1 gate had been fully opened, and a large stream of water from the Qingjiang River was surging towards the north of Danyu City.

"Fire... How's the fire in the granary?" Mamada muttered to his feet, trying to leave the control room, but was quickly pushed back by the guards who were eyeing him.

A guard stepped forward quickly, restrained Ma Ban with skillful grappling skills, and said in a cold voice: "You kidnapped the supervisor and are suspected of destroying the embankment, and now you are arrested and taken to the trial center to await trial." ”

Ma Ban dared to come here before, and he had already made plans to risk his life in his heart, and he had already put life and death out of the way.

However, now that the situation of the granary is unknown, the stone in his heart still can't be put down, so he struggles and says: "I can arrest me, take me to the granary first to see the situation there." ”

The guard completely ignored Ma Ban, and seeing that the other party was struggling and not cooperating, he directly punched Ma Ban with two punches to make Ma Ban's nose bloom, twisted his wrist behind his waist, and prepared to tie the rope.

"Let him go." Suddenly, the director spoke up.

The guard looked at him blankly: "My lord? ”

"Let him go." The director wiped his nosebleed and said coldly, "Anyway, he can't escape, just this ugly face full of pockmarks, he can be recognized wherever he escapes." Let him go and see what good things he has done, and when the time comes, he will die more clearly. ”

Since it was an order from the superiors, the guards didn't have much to say, so they loosened the pockmarks.

Madara got up from the ground and peeked at the Director, a slight hint of gratitude in his eyes, and then walked away from the control hub without saying a word.

The horse that had been ridden earlier was still there, and Mazaku turned over and rushed back the way he came.

It was quick to come, but it took a lot of extra time to return, for the main road under the gorge had been flooded by the water, and although the current was not particularly rapid, the horses walked with great difficulty, and they stopped and neighed from time to time, and had to be whipped reluctantly to move forward.

Finally entered Beicheng, and as far as the eye could see, the streets of Beicheng had been flooded, and from time to time you could see floating wooden boards, cloth bags and other debris.

There were no people along the way, and the people were all watching fireworks in Nancheng, and the terrain of Danyu City was also high in the south and low in the north, and the water would not rush there.

Ma Ban first visually measured the amount of water, I have to say, professional is professional, the calculation of the dam supervisor is very accurate, after the flood discharge in the north city is not much different from the previous estimate, just a little above the knee of an adult.

This makes Ma Ban very excited, this kind of water level can directly submerge the fire on the surface of the granary, and will not soak the grain on the shelf, where there is an ember fire, you can also take water on the spot to extinguish the fire, it can be described as killing three birds with one stone.

He looked up in the direction of the granary, and thought to himself: the fire must have been much smaller by now.

Looking at the sky in the distance, the fireworks should have been exhausted, there were no more sparks, the wind direction had returned to normal, and there was no more unseasonable and strange south wind, everything seemed to be improving.

However...

The sky in the distance was red, and the firelight did not diminish at all, hitting the sky, illuminating those strange hazes, like fire dragons rolling in the night sky.

"How is it possible?" the expression on Maban's face gradually became sluggish, and cold sweat overflowed from his forehead, and he whipped his horses with all his might, and galloped away in the direction of the granary.

The closer you get to the granary, the more the temperature rises, and the heat waves come in, making it difficult to breathe.

Arriving at the eight granaries, the scene here completely made Ma Ban at a loss.

Is there water? Yes.

The flow of the Qingjiang River from the No. 1 gate has spread here, and the water is only a lot more than the outer streets, and the surface of the granary has been completely flooded, but...

The fire is still burning!

The flames did not diminish the burning ground when the water flooded the ground, and the raging flames floated on the surface of the water, spreading along the water to other places, like a fire snake winding forward, igniting more areas, and burning the sky in the blink of an eye.

What's even more terrifying is that these flames completely ignore their natural predators, and can actually burn in the water, and the bubbles formed by high temperature evaporation keep coming out from under the water, forming bubbles on the surface of the water, and the sound of bursting is like some kind of irony and ridicule.

The overseers didn't know where the water came from, but they knew how to use it, and they were already fighting with fire buckets to get water out of the fire, spilling buckets of water on the flame-covered buildings.

However, no matter how much water was poured on it, whether it was a bucket or ten buckets, those scorching flames were like immortal demons, which were poured with water for only a moment, and then burned even more vigorously.

Seeing this, the overseer guards who put out the fire were all frightened:

"What's going on?! Why can't this fire be extinguished?! ”

"Is there too little water to splash? Splash a little more! ”

"It's useless! No matter how much water you splash, it doesn't matter! You see, there's still a fire burning under the water! ”

"The gods are above... Is Danyu City cursed..."

...

The sound of panic came one after another, and the water of the Qingjiang River not only failed to weaken the fire in the slightest, but allowed the fire to spread along the water, and the flowing flames poured from the water surface to all corners of the granary, even the stone walls for fire prevention were burned black, and the internal structure collapsed in pieces.

Boundless black smoke shrouded the granary, and everyone could only watch as the fire completely engulfed the eight granaries, and the millions of tons of grain stored inside were wiped out in the heat, and there were no particles left.

Ma Ban froze and knelt in the water, his pupils dilated, his eyes reflected in the granary that had disappeared, two lines of hot tears gushed out, and he muttered helplessly to himself: "Why is this happening..."

"This fire... Why can't it be extinguished..."
