27. Flash floods
Lightning flashed and thundered, and the wind and rain were fierce.
Tang Qinqin, who was struggling to move forward, suddenly heard a "boom" behind him.
Looking back, the rain blurred his vision, and he didn't see anything, but he was panicked in the bottom of his heart.
His fingers just touched a tree beside him, and then his feet slipped suddenly, and then a "boom" sound sounded that was even more violent than what he had just heard, and the ground seemed to shake with it, and the place where Tang Qinqin was standing just now was instantly engulfed by the turbid roaring flood.
Before his hand could grasp the trunk of the tree beside him, he was taken away by the sudden force, and the turbid water was splashed down, mixed with mud, sand and stones, Tang Qinqin fell into the waves and floods, and was dazed for a while.
"Whew, whew......" Tang Qinqin, who suddenly woke up from the water, quickly poked his head out of the water and breathed heavily.
The grass cloak on his body couldn't prevent the whole person from soaking in water, and now he was soaked.
The straw hat on his head was also crooked to the side, his hair was wet, and the rain was running down his cheeks.
You don't have to look in the mirror to imagine your embarrassment at the moment, Tang Qinqin wants to laugh a little and cry a little.
Swimming hard to a tall tree, Tang Qinqin tried to hold on to the tree, regained some strength and tried to climb up.
When I finally climbed to a high place, I was temporarily safe, and I couldn't help but feel relieved, looking at the roaring flood under my feet, and the submerged low woods in front of me, I was at a loss mixed with a sense of exhaustion.
Isn't it a casual quiz game? How did it become a struggle to survive now?
Adjust to a comfortable sitting position, lean your back lightly on the branch behind you, and take out the food in your backpack to replenish your strength.
Today is the fourth day, and there are still three days left according to the original deadline, so you can go back.
After a brief meal, I drank some water. It is easy to get sick when wearing wet clothes all the time, but there is no fire condition in the current environment, and there are no dry clothes to change.
Although the panel backpack has a storage function and can store inanimate objects, Tang Qinqin has always believed that the answering game is more casual and decompression, and there is no need to prepare any items.
It's clear that there was a lesson today.
Tang Qinqin, who was resting on a tree, took out a bottle and collected rainwater. With such a large flood, it should be difficult to find a clean water source recently, and rainwater is more worth using in comparison.
When the rain was also collected, Tang Qinqin, who had nothing to do, couldn't help but get bored.
"Xiao Qi, has the game been upgraded?" In fact, Tang Qinqin wanted to ask if there was a bug in the game.
Why the style of painting has changed abruptly.
"Qin." The weak-hearted little seven made a calm statement, "Actually, the difficulty of the game has been upgraded...... It didn't expect this to be the case after the difficulty was upgraded.
"Escalating the difficulty of the game?" Tang Qinqin did not doubt him, and pondered to himself.
Xiao Qi was silent for a moment, but still said: "Qinqin, in fact, I upgraded the difficulty of the game. Sorry ......"
"Huh?" Tang Qinqin was stunned, but he didn't react much.
"It doesn't matter, it's okay, Xiao Qi, but I'm still very happy that you can tell me the truth."
"But isn't the span of difficulty escalation a bit big, now I think I'm really surviving in the wild." Tang Qinqin paused and asked, "But Xiao Qi, is this the real world?" Could our presence have interfered with the normal natural environment here......"
"It's real, but when we come here, it doesn't affect it too much, and this flood is terrible, and it's also because of the consequences of people's accumulation of destruction of forest vegetation, freezing three feet, not a day's cold, not an overnight change."
"Can I do something," Tang Qinqin knew that he would not be able to stay in this tree for long as the flood level continued to rise.
"Ding! Congratulations to the player Tang Yuanwai for triggering the game's side quest - Flood Fighting and Forest Protection, completing the task to obtain points +500, random attribute points +15, world water puzzle +2, stamina pill *10, and obtaining the primary title of guardian. ”
Tang Qinqin, who was smashed by a series of clearance rewards, was dizzy, and didn't have time to think about how to trigger this rewarding side quest, and as soon as her mind was hot, she planned to jump down from the tree to start her great mission of fighting the flood.
When he looked at the surging flood under his feet, and felt the cold rain and howling wind that fell on his body after leaving the protection of dense branches and leaves, Tang Qinqin woke up a little like a dream.
What? Flood protection and forest protection?
Me??
Are you sure it's not a mayfly shaking a tree and hitting a stone with an egg?
Tang Qinqin, who was fiercely suspicious of his life, stalemate for a while in the posture of a koala hugging a tree, but decided to give it a try for the sake of such a generous score.
The rain was fierce, and the murky water was still rising. The tree that Tang Qinqin landed on just now was half submerged in the flood at this moment.
Through Xiao Qi, he learned that the forest where he is currently located has not been built in any way, except for the destruction of vegetation by human indiscriminate deforestation, such as reservoirs and embankments, which are completely used as a timber warehouse.
Tang Qinqin knows that it is better to dredge than to block, and now that the flood has been flooded, the most important thing is to discharge the flood, reduce the amount of flood water from the source, and dredge the river in the downstream areas to dredge the water as soon as possible.
But both are tricky, and both are tasks that she can't do alone.
Tang Qinqin opened his backpack and took a handful of roasted chestnuts to fill his stomach, and when he was full, he started to fight.
When the rainstorm hit before, Tang Qinqin put the backpack distributed by the game on her body into the panel backpack storage space, so this time she opened the panel backpack.
Then I saw that the status of the "Forest Pack" I obtained before changed to "Activated, do you want to confirm the view?" ”
can see it at a glance, or because at this moment, this cool forest gift package is constantly flashing like a neon light, and Tang Qinqin, who doesn't know, almost thinks when he put a middle two dazzling Bluetooth speaker.
"Confirm the view,
Forest Gift Package: As the name suggests, this is a miniature small forest with perfect ecosystem, lush vegetation and rich species, which is a must-have for travel and tourism with fresh air and pleasant mood, good mountains, good water and good scenery.
Confirm use, the forest ecosystem will be quickly generated at the designated location, and the use is irreversible, do you confirm the use? ”
Tang Qinqin was simply stunned: "Do you come to send a pillow when you are sleepy!" ”
