In the receiver of the phone, Gu Ji could clearly hear the rumbling background noise, like a raging flood mixed with the dam stones rushing down from the mountain stream, churning and surging.

The crazy upsurge of blood made his brain "buzz", and his mouth subconsciously murmured.

"Quick, life jacket."

"Vidi, what are you talking about, is it ...... over there at the dam?"

Fatima was slightly stunned, and vaguely felt that something bad was happening.

Gu Ji's eyes looked straight ahead as if their pupils were dilated, and only after hearing the word "dam" did he suddenly burst out.

"Life jackets! Everyone put on life jackets right away! Speed up the transfer! The dam has burst!! ”

"What!?"

As soon as these words came out, the faces of everyone on the military vehicle changed suddenly, and Marlowe hurriedly pressed the button of the walkie-talkie headset:

"Attention of the first column, the dam has burst! The convoy is moving faster! Speed up the march and put on life jackets for everyone! ”

"Secretary Lanat, the dam has burst......"

"Boat formation, speed up! The dam has burst! ”

"Run, everybody! Come on! Come on!! ”

In an instant, the military, police, disaster response forces, and personnel from all parties received phone calls almost at the same time, one by one, one by one, and the nervous and panicked emotions were like ignited gunpowder, quickly sweeping everyone on the street!

"Vidi! What do we do now, so many people simply don't have time to transfer! ”

"The general speed of the flood is 20~30 meters per second, the distance from the Faraka Dam to the center of Kolkata is close to 100 kilometers, in other words, we still have more than 40 minutes of reaction time, enough for two groups of people to move to a safe area, in order to prevent accidents, immediately let the military find a way to send additional helicopters to drop relief materials, life jackets! Buoy! No matter what it is, as long as it can float on the water, it can save people! ”

In a critical situation, in the face of Fatima's inquiry, Gu Ji didn't have a good way.

It is impossible for him to fight against natural disasters alone, and it is already the limit of what he can do to move all the 10 million people to a relatively safe place before the levee bursts.

Thankfully, he relied on his experience and decisively terminated the blasting plan for the Faraka Dam.

The dam burst took four and a half hours, and the military carried out engineering blasting, which took about that time, and the final result was either that the dam burst before the detonation button was pressed, or that the blasting destroyed the gap, causing the dam to burst in advance.

Both will cause a large number of casualties, and even when the disaster is dealt with, the residents of Kolkata will count the black pot on their heads.

"Speed up! Fast! Fast! ”

Marlowe urged the driver to increase his speed as he removed the military bulletproof vest and replaced it with an orange reflective rescue vest.

The driver was also so anxious at the moment that he was sweating, for fear that he would be swallowed up by the flood halfway.

But now the water on the street has far exceeded one meter, not to mention that the resistance of the front of the car to meet the water is too great, the speed can not go up, even if it can drive fast, it is easy to cause damage to the circuit system due to the cabin soaked in water, and the car that entered the water on the way has been indistinct.

Luckily, it only took them twenty minutes to reach the safe zone near Midtown.

Firefighters at Matan Park are also putting the finishing touches on the levee.

"No, there's no room in the park!"

"Commissioner Weidi, please don't send people over again, the people in the park are generally complaining now!"

Gu Jizheng asked the firefighters to remove the fire buckets of the levee and let the refugees in the North District, but unexpectedly, two municipal officials in suits and leather shoes came, the left one shirked, the right one refused, and they used the people as shields.

After going through so many crises and disasters, how could he be stumped by these people in just a few words.

Gu Ji's fierce eyes swept back and forth at the two government officials, "Is it important to complain, or is human life important?" I don't care what method you use, you have to send people to me, otherwise I'll let the military take over, and if anyone complains, you let him come directly to me!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Marlowe next to him immediately stepped forward and moved the muzzle of the AK-203 gun in his hand up a little.

Where did the two officials dare to go against the military, they had to ask the firefighters to remove the barrel and let the people in.

"Fatima, Marlo, and the soldiers are responsible for staying here to coordinate the transfer and disposal of refugees."

"Viddy, what are you going to do!"

"I still have to move the rest of the people in the rear, and now there are less than twenty minutes left before the flood hits, and the car is no longer working, so I can only rely on the rescue boats of the boat force!"

Gu Ji pushed Fatima away and grabbed his wrist.

The latter was going to say something, but now, Fatima has no better way, even if she insists on following, she can't help anything, at least Gu Ji will also search and rescue on the water, but it is better to stay here and vacate some more safe areas for him.

Back on the boat.

Pradhan raised his eyebrows slightly, with a hint of complicated expression, and asked.

"Actually, you don't have to come, aren't you afraid of death?"

"If I had been afraid of death, I wouldn't have gotten on that train since I was in Assam!"

Gu Ji took out the mineral water bottle from his backpack, grunted, and drank it all.

The two looked at each other, and they couldn't help but grin at each other.

"Okay, boat formation, north to the streets of Ramacan, full speed ahead!"

"Full speed ahead!!"

In an instant, more than 300 rubber boats twisted the throttle at the same time, and a wave rolled up a wave and rushed towards the north side of the town.

About eight minutes later, they saw another wave of refugees arriving on foot.

Get on the boat, make a U-turn, transfer, and return.

Gu Ji did a total of two rounds of the whole process, until the third round, the return journey time to pick up people only took about five minutes.

"Quick! Everybody, hurry up! Get on board now! ”

"Everyone picks up the life jackets and lifebuoys on the ground and must put them on their bodies to ensure their safety!"

"Everyone, move fast! Don't waste time! ”

……

Rescuers desperately urged the crowd to board the rubber boats, overhead, the sound of buzzing propellers, a military transport helicopter was hovering in the sky against the risk of a heavy rain crash, dropping bags of relief materials, mainly some water self-rescue equipment.

Even so, there are still too many refugees left who have not entered the safe zone, and at least 70,000 or 80,000 people are still on the streets affected by the danger.

"Everyone, listen up, the lifebuoy can be divided between two people, and tie it around your waist with a rope so that you can ensure ......"

Gu Ji stood at the stern of the rubber boat, holding a megaphone, originally planning to teach these people how to make the most of their equipment.

But faintly, he seemed to hear a low movement, coming from the northwest of the city, like a rolling sound, like the sound of something spilling on the ground, and faintly a terrible scream.

Some of the refugees seemed to hear the sound too, and subconsciously stopped and looked back.

At this time, the mobile phone in Gu Ji's pocket vibrated, and several military helicopters in the sky also turned around and flew south.

Woo-hum——!

The sudden shrill air defense siren beep startled everyone.

But soon, an even louder rumbling sound rushed into everyone's eardrums, like an earthquake, the crowd stood in place in amazement and stiffness, only to see a huge air flow passing over Gu Ji's face, and at the end of the line of sight, a yellow line appeared, which gradually lengthened and thickened, and the yellow line across the ground was approaching at the speed of an airplane.

The trees on the far side of the street began to sway violently, power lines snapped, and private vehicles parked on both sides of the road twisted and deflected.

"Run! Come on! Run——!! ”

Gu Ji yelled hysterically, and even his forehead oozed green tendons.

Huge waves broke down from the town, darting out of the town buildings like demons, and there was a thunderous sound, tearing, tumbling, shattering the glass of countless houses, breaking tree trunks one by one, and yellow-green three-wheeled motorcycles being swept directly into the air.

It's a flood!

"Ahh Come on! ”

"Help!"

"Lucas! Lucas! ”

"Daddy!"

"Full throttle! U-turn and ——!! fast ”

……

At the moment of crisis, the crowd erupted in earth-shattering screams, and all the rubber rescue boats, under the command of Pradan, twisted the accelerator frantically towards the south.

The refugees ran wildly in the water, but they were soon knocked down by people with greater strength in the rear, and some of them swam directly in the water, and some of them seemed to be frightened by the monstrous flood, and froze in place, unable to move;

Some people who are physically exhausted choose to give up and cry on the spot;

A man and a woman, who look like newlyweds, choose to hug each other;

There are also devout Hindus who fold their hands, close their eyes, and pray silently as if in resignation......

"Everybody run! Find nearby cover and grab it, and those on the boat must tie themselves to the handrails of the rubber boat with a rope! Fast! ”

Gu Ji shouted desperately as he pulled out the safety rope from his waist and tied himself to the rubber boat.

But the flood was too loud and too fast.

The boat unit had barely gone far when the huge waves behind them had already pressed up.

One meter, three meters, five meters!

It is hard to imagine that an inland flood has huge waves comparable to a tsunami, Gu Ji watched the crowd behind him being swept up by the flood, his pupils shrank suddenly, and his coffee-colored eyes reflected the earthy yellow flood waves, there were people inside, there were broken windows of houses, furniture, tables and chairs, and shanty shanties in the slums......

"Everyone, inhale, get down with your head in your hands!!"

He felt the hull of the ship being lifted rapidly.

With all his might, Gu Ji warned the last sentence, and then took a deep breath and closed his eyes.

Boom ——!

As soon as the huge waves slapped down, Gu Ji felt like he had been hit by a car and flew out, gurgling, falling into the water, his whole body spinning uncontrollably, it should be that the rubber boat was swept into it by the undercurrent of the flood.

He opened his eyes hard, and the familiar scrub came back at him.

Holding back the stinging pain in the corners of his eyes, Gu Ji tried to regain his direction, but his body was not controlled at all, no matter how he paddled, he could only follow the flow of water, and the visibility in the water was extremely low, and it was difficult for him to see the objects around him.

Suddenly, he vaguely felt a black shadow coming, his body instinctively shrunk into a ball, and raised his arms to protect his head.

Bang!

The black shadow smashed over and hit Gu Ji's front right on, pushing him more than a meter away, just offsetting the traction brought by the rubber boat.

It seems to be a person!

Before he could think about it, the buoyancy of the rescue vest and rubber boat began to pull him towards the water.

Crash!

"Phew...... Hoo Ha ......"

Gu Ji surfaced, the first time was to take a big breath of air, the originally tired rainstorm, hit him in the face, at this moment he felt inexplicably happy, he quickly groped his body, checked the neck, arms, thighs, back and other key parts to see if there were any injuries.

Luckily, he felt a tingling pain in front of his right leg.

It seems to have been scratched by something.

"Help!"

"Ah——!h

The two cries for help swept through his ears interrupted Gu Ji, and at this time he didn't have time to check whether the wound was serious.

"Give me your hand! Give me your hand! ”

He swam desperately, trying to hold the person who was swept away by the current, but the strength of his arms was too small, let alone dragging a rubber boat, and he couldn't move freely in the water.

As we all know, the flood pours quickly, basically destroying the surrounding buildings at a speed of about 40~90 kilometers per hour, and the water flow is usually muddy yellow, because the flood will carry a lot of sediment, which will increase the weight and strength of the flood, making it full of destructive power.

Wherever the flood passes, all the glass of the surrounding buildings will be shattered by the huge waves, and they can pass through any gap, especially those tin sheet houses that do not look stable, and the waves can enter it, and instantly cause it to capsize, disintegrate into pieces, and flow down the flood water together.

Drifting from Beicheng District to Zhongcheng District, Gu Ji looked up at the 100-meter-high office buildings on the left and right, through the blue glass curtain wall, he could clearly see the turbulent waves of the flood reflected by the mirror, and the tens of thousands of pairs of frightened eyes of the people hidden behind the glass.

Thundered......

"Ahh Yes! ”

"Who can save me! Help me! ”

"Telephone poles! Hold on to the pole!! ”

The waves swept him from the main street to the side street, Gu Ji heard an Indian woman in the water screaming miserably again, her hands were slipping around, and she wanted to remind her, but the other party didn't know how to turn her body in the water, and she saw that she was going to get close to the telephone pole, but because her body was in the wrong position, her head hit the pole first, and she passed out on the spot.

!

Gu Ji was far away from her, so he could only sit and watch the other party sink into the water, and the progress of the task in the lower right corner of him soon changed, and another number was added: 81/200!

That's right!

Since the flood appeared, it has only been less than two minutes, and nearly 80 lives have been killed!!
