Chapter 73: Rain

Since the beginning of winter this year, the sky has been drizzling with light rain, which is completely out of touch with the dry conditions of the mid-latitude winter.

Gu Guo looked at the stagnant water in the fields outside the city, his eyes full of worry.

What's wrong with the weather? There was no feedback from the inquiry system.

Until the day of the festival, the light rain turned into a torrential rain, and people could only nest on the kang in their houses and spend the first night of the new year with their brothers and sisters in the house.

Although the topography of the Tao River is high in the west and low in the east, the water level is still high and the boat is still high, overflowing the 200 meters of land on the river bank, and only the bottom of the wheel touches the surface of the waterwheel, which is now half submerged in the water.

Two months have passed since the arrival of the three reincarnations, and several time zones outside of the country of Gu, the tsunami and flood have destroyed the civilization circle that was also established for the Gaia Travelers, and now the effects of rising sea levels are gradually being felt inland.

The ever-expanding sea area makes the water cycle between the sea and the land extremely active, and under the deliberate control of the three reincarnators manipulating instruments, the Tao River basin, where Gu Guo is located, gathers all the cumulonimbus clouds of one million square kilometers around it, and the water vapor that evaporates from the ocean continuously replenishes this area.

"Heaven" wants to take care of the country's death.

However, Gu Guo will not sit still in the face of natural disasters, the story of Dayu's water control has long been engraved in the blood of his descendants of Yan and Huang, and the idea that man will conquer the sky has bloomed in the other world across the dimension of space.

All the men and women in Liang City were mobilized, except for pregnant women who were pregnant and the elderly who couldn't walk to recuperate at home, all the men and women over the age of eight were all summoned by Gu Guo.

This is a war, a war against the great power of heaven and earth, compared to a year ago against Tor, who is also a traverser, now this war is related to the life and death of tens of thousands of people in the Tao River Valley, taking a boat is the last choice, unless it is absolutely necessary, Gu Guo will not choose.

The first is to build a flood control dam that stretches for thousands of meters in the Tao River basin, because there is already a natural earthen dam mound on the Tao River, so people will not start from scratch in muddy water.

Baskets of new soil were transported from the rear, and the trumpets of rammed earth were endless, and people defended not only the Liangcheng and wheat fields behind them, but also the beautiful life of future generations.

In his previous life, Gu Guo had only seen floods all over the country on TV, and until today, he saw with his own eyes a wave of the rising Tao River hitting the bank five or six meters high, directly rolling the four strong men who were still ramming the earth into the river, and the four figures could not be seen between two breaths.

The women and children who were still carrying soil under the dam were crying, tears streaming down their faces with the rain, their loved ones being eaten away by the monstrous floods, and those who fell into the water could not be shocked by a small wave.

Gu Guo and Camelina and other off-duty soldiers stood at the front of the team, although Gu Guo was a passerby brought to this world by the system, he would eventually leave with the reincarnation of eternal life, but for the people of this world, the decades he had been alive were all they had.

Even if he died, he would be able to return to the battlefield of Gaia, so he let go of his hands and feet and rushed in front of the people, and in the places where the currents were most turbulent and the waves were the largest, he and his soldiers used human bodies to build plates, constantly widening the dikes washed away by the floods.

Six time zones away, the three reincarnators were as steady as old dogs on the plateau at an altitude of 3,000 meters, and a pure steel canopy and concrete pedestal were erected by them, and their body data was several times stronger than usual, so that they completed the waterproofing of the atmospheric control instrument in only one day.

The struggle of civilizations against natural disasters has now been transformed into cold binary code, and the seven-digit number is decreasing at a rate of more than 10,000 per day.

The three reincarnators are completely playing games to deal with the global natural disaster they have brought about.

"This job transfer mission in the Optics Valley Space has the feeling of playing a game of P Society, but it's a pity that we don't have enough points to exchange for the Colossus, otherwise it would be so cool to have the four million directly returned to zero with one shot."

Bai Ziming was playing Super Mario of the last century on the bracelet, and he didn't notice the situation of encountering nine deaths in another team's job transfer mission.

Ice crystals and snowflakes had drifted from the distant peaks above the snow line, but outside his tent was relatively dry, and the amount of precipitation in this area had been deliberately reduced. At a time when the rainfall in the world exceeds 30 mm, the precipitation in this region is less than 5 mm.

"Maybe Optics Valley is afraid of ......" Bai Ran lost his voice as he spoke, Bai Ziming and Zhong Puhe could only see her mouth flipping up and down, but they couldn't hear a single sound, even if the lip master was present, they could only see a bunch of meaningless gibberish words.

"That...... You've been silenced by space. Bai Ziming pointed to his sister's mouth, and the game in his hand stopped.

"Looks like I guessed right." Bai Ran smiled at her brother, revealing two rows of white teeth, and in the depths of her eyes, a trace of worry hidden was hidden by her perfect smile.

"It's a pity that after discovering the secrets of space, we can't pass them on to other reincarnators in any form, otherwise we won't ......."

"Didi, Didi—"

The instrument beeped rapidly, and Bai Ran, who was halfway through the words, and the two reincarnators around him understood that the cliff-like decline of the planet's population had begun.

The one on the edge of a two-kilometer-long river, which used to be the slowest population decline of the nine areas with the greatest plot deflections, is now decreasing at a rate of hundreds of people per minute, and in less than three hours, the task of eliminating 70% of intelligent life in this area will be completed.

Although Gu Guo tried his best to organize a team to fight the flood, how could the intelligent race that was born on the planet and was just starting to fight against the huge energy of the entire planet at this time.

Ten days after the construction of the flood control levee, the surging water from the downstream poured back, looking at the grass huts and broken wood slag from the downstream, Gu Guo knew that the Yangya City, as well as the dozens of villages that had just been established and had not yet had time to plant the first batch of wheat, had been swallowed up by the flood at this time.

How can a river flow backwards? Is it that the terrain downstream has become higher, or has the sea level risen more than he imagined?

Gu Guo didn't dare to continue to think about it, maybe such an ending could be worthy of the name of the Gaia battlefield, the flow of 100,000 cubic meters per second directly broke the embankment that was only four meters high, Gu Guo's feet slipped, and the whole person fell into the raging Tao River.

The alarm from the system sounded the moment he was swallowed up by the flood, and as he was dying, he saw five sailboats fluttering on the river.

Gu Guo didn't know how many people Liang Cheng would survive in the end, and the 10,000-person city-state he had painstakingly operated for six years was once wiped out.

A sister who used to be not a sister, an uncle who was not an uncle, a mother who was not a mother, a cousin who was not a cousin...... Innocent and simple faces flashed into his mind during Gu Guo's return.

A white light that no one could see flew out of the Tao River, crossed the dimension of time and space, and returned to the battlefield of the void.
