Chapter 305: Disasters Continue
The water level of Hongze Lake is originally higher than the surrounding terrain, which is due to historical reasons, the Yellow River once flooded in history, and the northern land flooded, and the Yellow River went south for a period of time, seizing the Huai into the sea, and even sharing an estuary with the Yangtze River.
The Yellow River brought with it countless sediments, flooded much farmland, and when the Yellow River returned to the north, it left Hongze Lake in the south.
The water level of Hongze Lake is higher than that of the surrounding areas, and in order to maintain the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal in the Ming and Qing dynasties, it is also necessary to maintain the embankment to ensure the smooth flow of the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal. But the water level of Hongze Lake has always been a destabilizing factor for Jianghuai, and it is uncertain when it will explode.
In the peaceful years, no one has ever worried about such a thing, because it is almost impossible, as long as there is a risk area, the official will prevent it, but when the end comes, it will be followed by a decrease in population, and the Chinese population has decreased by nine-tenths in an instant, and the world is in chaos, and no one pays attention to the water level of Hongze Lake anymore.
When the summer of the second year of the apocalypse came, the typhoon penetrated deep into the hinterland, causing floods in the Jingxiang area, and the people were trapped on the rooftops and treetops.
After the mutant crocodile was forced to the west shore of Hongze Lake, it looked at the helicopter hovering in the sky, its huge body hidden under the water, and it was trembling slightly.
The mutant crocodile eats a lot of people and a lot of mutated animals, and the inhabitants on both sides of the Yangtze River are so afraid of it that they can only call it the Dragon King, but in fact, it is also afraid of humans. It knows that even if it can wreak havoc in the Yangtze River, it is not invincible, and once humans really do it, it will be a complete catastrophe for it.
Therefore, the mutant crocodile never dares to provoke humans on a large scale, and specifically finds lone humans to eat, but once there is a large ship on the surface of the water, or a plane flies in the sky, then it will hide under the water and say nothing, it tries to avoid appearing in the eyes of many people.
And the IQ of the mutant crocodile ends here, a smarter choice, it doesn't know, and it can't think of it.
This method seems to be very stupid, but in fact it has a remarkable effect, for a long time, no one can see the true face of the Yangtze River Dragon King, everyone thinks that there is really a dragon in the Yangtze River, whether it is to fetch water or fish, they have to go together, and it is safer when there are more people.
And now at this time, the Dragon King of the Yangtze River was chased for three days in a row, during which he did not eat or drink, and swam from Dongting Lake to Hongze Lake, originally wanting to get rid of the humans chasing behind him, it could feel that there were two people on the boat who were particularly terrifying, and they might not be able to take advantage of their own side when fighting.
Fortunately, the water network in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River is dense, otherwise, the Dragon King would have had nowhere to run a long time ago, and he would have been forced into a dead end earlier.
As a result, even so, it failed to shake off the pursuers behind it, and the humans were still chasing it sleeplessly.
The dragon king decided to sacrifice his life, but he was not willing to die like this, so he overturned the human boat and ate one of them.
Shen Feng, who had blinded the Dragon King's eyes, had now become even more powerful, and flew into the sky with the help of a paraglider, and countless wind blades fell from the sky, cutting off one of the Dragon King's front paws.
At this time, the dragon king has been forced into a desperate situation, the sky is a hovering helicopter, although there is a mighty river around, but as long as he shows his head, then he will inevitably suffer a fierce blow, the dragon king's body has been injured now, continue to fight, there is absolutely no life or death.
The desperate dragon king frantically hit the embankment underwater, completely venting his dissatisfaction, and the typhoon came to the Jianghuai area, which immediately brought abundant rain, and the water level in Hongze Lake suddenly rose, and the embankment was already under a lot of pressure, and now it was hit by the dragon king's madness, which suddenly caused a small gap half a meter wide.
The water in Hongze Lake suddenly gushed down, but the half-meter-wide gap was immediately torn apart, and the embankment of thousands of miles was destroyed in the anthill, which seemed to be an exaggeration. But this is a very vivid description, for the mighty river, as long as there is even a gap in the embankment, then the river will instantly widen the gap, and eventually cause the embankment to burst.
Hongze Lake collapsed, the flood water went down the river, and the crocodile also took the opportunity to escape in it, the flood mixed a lot of sediment and branches, and the reeds that were not cleaned up last year were also washed down, and the helicopter could not find the exact location of the crocodile, and finally had to fly back helplessly.
After Shen Feng heard the news of the collapse of Hongze Lake, they were all stunned, and they didn't expect that there would be another accident in the battle that had been won nine times out of ten.
Ke Yiming was helpless, and said to Shen Feng: "Let's find a boat to continue looking for the Dragon King, and in addition, we must notify the people in the west to take shelter from the flood." ”
As soon as Lu Kaiwen heard this, he shook his head at that time, found a stick and began to draw, explaining while drawing: "The situation is different now, do you know what the consequences of Hongze Lake's bursting embankment are, now the survivors in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River are basically concentrated in big cities, and Hongze Lake washes westward, these big cities will be affected first, millions of people, disaster has come!" Do you still want to kill the Dragon King? ”
Ke Yiming looked at the map drawn by Lu Kaiwen and couldn't help frowning, but he immediately said: "Disaster relief is indeed very important, but what else can the four of us do?" Can we save millions of people? We can't do it, we can only kill this dragon king, and we can't let it cause more harm! ”
Of course, Ke Yiming knows what the collapse of Hongze Lake means, thousands of people will be affected by this incident, whether it is the safety of people's lives or property, they are seriously threatened, but the plan to hunt the dragon king has come to this point, and there is only one foot left before it is completed, so wouldn't it be a failure to choose to give up at this time?
Especially in the case of the collapse of Hongze Lake, the Jianghuai region is full of floods, and the victims may be attacked by the dragon king at any time, the dragon king has eaten thousands of people before, what about the future, how many people will be eaten in the future?
Shen Feng didn't expect the flood to sweep the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, he thought that the area in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River was already very badly affected, but now the collapse of Hongze Lake has caused the downstream to also be affected, which will put more people in danger.
Fortunately, Ke Yiming notified his superiors in time and asked his superiors to quickly prevent people from taking refuge, which enabled many people to be saved.
It was late at night, many people were asleep, but the alarm suddenly sounded in the sky, and then looked at the news, Hongze Lake burst the embankment, people hurriedly began to evacuate, and there was no time to pack up their things, bring a little dry food and walk towards the high place with their families, and the flood soon hit.
Although the end is coming, many cities are superstitious about their own defense power, as long as the guns and shells are sufficient, then it is impossible for zombies or mutant beasts to rush to the city, so they never build city walls, unless they are directly threatened by the zombie tide, otherwise, building city walls is a waste of money and money, and no one will do it.
Many areas to the west of Hongze Lake are already densely populated, and as soon as the flood comes, the black and low houses directly enter the city, and the roads and low houses are all flooded, and the typhoon passes through the downstream areas, and suddenly, the entire plain is full of water that cannot be dispersed.
What was previously a disaster in the Jingxiang region is now in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and more people are being threatened by the floods.
The headquarters learned the news, immediately silent, the headquarters people know that the entire middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River has been completely finished, and it will not be able to recover in a short time, and the threat of floods will not disappear after receding, and in the next few years, this area is likely to be unable to recover, not only planting crops or industrial production, but basically cannot be carried out, and the grain production areas of the country, only the northeast and Shuzhong are left! Production in the Central Plains will not be able to resume in a short period of time, and the shortage of grain can be said to be inevitable.
"Famine is coming!" Everyone had a bad premonition, and they thought that after Yanjing's battle against the zombies was won, the next step was to recover the whole country step by step, but a flood disrupted all the plans!
The most fatal thing is that the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River are affected, and grain production will also be greatly affected, and so many people affected by the disaster are waiting to be fed, and famine is bound to appear.
Shen Feng's side finally decided to continue to hunt down the mutant crocodile, but news came from Yuzhou that hundreds of thousands of mutant beasts had appeared in the southern mountainous areas, and they had begun to find a way to cross the river, and Yuzhou was threatened!
Shen Feng heard the news and hurriedly called Yang Chang to inform him, "Hurry up and take someone back to defend the city, something happened at home!" ”
Shen Feng couldn't understand why countless mutant beasts had come out of the mountains in the south, and he hadn't encountered danger when he went to recover some towns in the south before, but the crisis really broke out like this.
In fact, Shen Feng also wanted to rush back to Yuzhou immediately, but Ke Yiming took Shen Feng's hand and didn't let go, "Shen Feng, you're too anxious, there are just mutant beasts over there in Yuzhou, and there are city walls over there, it's impossible for mutant beasts to enter the city, didn't you let Yang Chang go back?" Six or seven thousand people are guarding a city over there, what are you afraid of? We can't live without you here! ”
Ke Yiming really has no choice, he has already seen Shen Feng's combat power with his own eyes, he can't be missing in the process of chasing the Dragon King, if Shen Feng is missing, the next time he encounters a mutant crocodile, who knows if he can beat it here? Therefore, Shen Feng must not leave.
Shen Feng immediately said, "What do you know? My wife is still pregnant, and there are more than a thousand recruits in the city, what if they can't stop the mutant beasts from attacking the city? My wife and children are the most important, Yang Chang and they need to take a boat to go back, the speed is too slow, I can fly back in a day. The plan to hunt the dragon king is still next time! ”
After speaking, Shen Feng broke free of Ke Yiming's palm and was about to leave, as for Lu Kaiwen, he could only let him stay here temporarily, but Ke Yiming suddenly knelt down for Shen Feng at this time, the man had gold under his knees, Ke Yiming now abandoned his self-esteem, he said sincerely: "Shen Feng, I beg you, follow me to kill the dragon king, it's only been a few months, this evil dragon has already eaten five or six thousand people, let the tiger return to the mountain, and the disaster will be endless!" ”
Shen Feng was so entangled by Ke Yiming that he had no choice but to agree: "Okay, okay, you get up, I'll just go to fight with you, but let's say it first, once my senior sister can't bear it, I'll go back anyway, now, hurry up and find the traces of the Dragon King, complete the task and go your own way!" ”
Shen Feng was also too flustered at this time, just hearing that there was danger in Yuzhou, he immediately returned to his heart like an arrow, but if he thought about it carefully, Yuzhou had a tall city wall, and it was impossible for mutant beasts to rush in, and Chu Chaoyan was also protecting Chang Jianyi, and Chang Jianyi's safety could also be guaranteed.
Shen Feng figured this out, and immediately searched for ships nearby, and finally found a small boat, and there was no oar to use, so he could only find a bamboo to cut it off, and hold the boat to track down the Dragon King.
Ke Yiming looked at the tracker display in his hand, suddenly became puzzled, and couldn't help but say: "The Dragon King has stopped, is it possible that it can't hold on?" Will it be resting? ”
Ke Yiming chased after him with people, and finally found a piece of reeds, everyone slowly approached, but suddenly smelled a foul smell, took a closer look, and found that it was a pool of excrement, and the nearby reeds had already been overwhelmed, the dragon king was nowhere to be seen, and the signal was in the excrement.
Kevin Lu sighed and said, "There is really no way now, the wild deer has been digested and excreted, and it is impossible to use the signal to track the Dragon King!" ”
Ke Yiming was completely desperate, he didn't expect that the vigorous operation would end here, the action in the past ten days, so far, nothing has been obtained, and millions of people in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River have been affected, the flood is raging, and the mutant crocodile can swim around, causing even greater disasters.
"Thief God, you won't help me! Why did you let a typhoon appear? Why let Hongze Lake collapse? Ke Yiming lay back and fell into the stagnant water, he was unwilling, it was clear that victory was coming, and the results of chasing for several days were about to arrive, but Hongze Lake collapsed, causing his plan to fail.
Could it be that this is what Zhuge Liang said about planning things in people and success in heaven?
Shen Feng stretched out his hand to pull Ke Yiming up from the stagnant water, and comforted: "Don't worry, there is always a way, besides, I opened a big wound on the Dragon King's body, if it accidentally infected with bacteria or viruses and died, wouldn't it be considered a victory?" ”
