Chapter 179: Huge Wave Attack(1/2)
Chapter 179 Huge Wave Attack
Through the phone receiver, Gu Ji could clearly hear the rumbling background noise, like the roar of a raging flood mixed with dam stones rushing down the mountain stream.
The crazy surge of blood made his head buzz and he murmured subconsciously.
"Quick, life jacket."
"Vidi, what are you talking about? Is it the other side of the dam..."
Fatima was slightly startled, vaguely feeling that something bad had happened.
Gu Ji's eyes seemed to be looking straight ahead with dilated pupils. When he heard the word "dam", he suddenly shone with a flash of light.
"Life jackets! Everyone put on life jackets immediately! Speed up the transfer! The dam has broken!!"
"What!?"
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of everyone in the military vehicle suddenly changed, and Marlow hurriedly pressed the button of the intercom headset:
"Attention, first column, the dam has burst! The convoy speeds up! Speed up and put on life jackets for everyone!"
"Secretary Ranaut, the dam has burst..."
"Commissioner Vidi, please stop sending people here. People in the park are generally complaining now!"
The two looked at each other and couldn't help but grin at each other.
Firefighters at Matan Park are still putting final reinforcements on the flood walls.
"Full speed ahead!!"
"Run! Run! Run—!!"
Gu Ji glanced back and forth at the two government officials with ferocious eyes, "Is complaining more important, or human life? I don't care what method you use, you must send people in, otherwise I will let the military take over. If someone complains
, just ask him to come to me directly!"
"Everyone, run! Run! Run!!"
Even so, there are still too many refugees who have not entered safe areas. At least 70,000 to 80,000 people are still on the streets affected by danger, which is simply not enough.
"Okay, boat formation, heading north to Ramagan Street, moving forward at full speed!"
At the critical moment, the crowd erupted into earth-shattering screams. Under the command of Pradhan, all the rubber rescue boats turned their throttles crazily towards the south.
It is impossible for him to fight against natural disasters by himself. Being able to move all 11 million people to a relatively safe area before the embankment breaks is the limit of what he can do.
"I still have to move the remaining people in the rear. There are less than twenty minutes left before the flood hits. The car no longer works, so we can only rely on the rescue boat of the boat force!"
Gu Ji stood at the stern of the rubber boat, holding a loudspeaker, intending to teach these people how to make full use of the equipment.
Some refugees seemed to have heard the sound and subconsciously stopped and looked back.
The two officials did not dare to confront the military, so they had to ask the firefighters to remove the bucket and let people in.
Drifting from Beicheng District to Zhongcheng District, Gu Ji looked up at the 100-meter-high office buildings on both sides. Through the blue glass curtain wall, he could clearly see the turbulent waves of the flood reflected in the mirror, and what was hidden behind the glass.
Thousands of pairs of horrified eyes of the people.
Fortunately, he relied on experience and judgment and decisively terminated the blasting plan of the Farakka Dam.
At this time, Gu Ji's cell phone vibrated in his pocket, and several military helicopters in the sky also turned around and flew to the south.
The rescuers desperately urged the crowd to board the rubber dinghy. Above their heads, with the buzzing sound of propellers, military transport helicopters were hovering in the sky despite the risk of crashes due to heavy rain, dropping packages of relief supplies one after another.
It mainly contains some water self-rescue equipment.
In the critical situation, facing Fatima's inquiry, Gu Ji had no good solution.
Get on the boat, turn around, transfer, and return.
"Full throttle! Turn around, hurry up——!!"
Resisting the stinging pain in the corners of his eyes, Gu Ji tried to regain his direction, but his body was out of control at all. No matter how he paddled, he could only flow away with the water, and the visibility in the water was extremely low, making it difficult for him to see the objects around him clearly.
As we all know, floods pour very quickly, basically destroying surrounding buildings at a speed of about 40 to 90 kilometers per hour. The water flow is usually muddy yellow because there is a lot of sediment in the flood, which will increase the weight of the flood.
and power, making it full of destructive power.
"Give me your hand! Give me your hand!"
The trees on the far side of the street began to sway violently, the power lines were broken, and the private vehicles parked on both sides of the road, which were originally neat and orderly, were twisted and shifted.
Gu Ji yelled hysterically, and even veins oozed from his forehead.
"No, we can't fit it in the park anymore!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Marlowe stood up and walked over, moving the muzzle of the AK-203 in his hand higher.
…
"Fatima, Maro, and you are responsible for staying here with the soldiers to coordinate the transfer and disposal of refugees."
"If I was really afraid of death, I would not have boarded that train since I was in Assam!"
About eight minutes later, they saw another wave of refugees arriving on foot.
"Help!"
But vaguely, he seemed to hear a low sound, coming from the northwest of the city, like a rolling sound, or like the sound of something falling on the ground, and there were faint bursts of shrill screams.
.
boom!
The black shadow came over and hit Gu Ji in front, pushing him more than a meter away, which just offset the traction brought by the rubber boat.
He swam desperately, trying to catch the person who was swept away by the current, but his arm strength was too weak, let alone dragging a rubber boat, so he could not move freely in the water.
It seems like a person!
Before he had time to think specifically, the buoyancy of the rescue vest and the rubber boat began to pull him towards the water.
While urging the driver to increase the speed, Marlowe took off his military bulletproof vest and replaced it with an orange reflective rescue vest.
Two calls for help passed by his ears, interrupting Gu Ji. At this time, he had no time to check whether the wound was serious.
"Everyone, run! Find a nearby bunker and grab it. People on the boat must tie themselves to the armrests of the rubber boat with ropes! Hurry!"
The latter originally planned to say something, but now that things have happened, Fatima has no better way. Even if she insists on following him, she can't help much. At least Gu Ji can search and rescue on the water, so it is better to stay here.
, to free up some more safe zone positions for him.
The driver was so anxious that he was sweating on his forehead, fearing that he would be knocked down and swallowed by the flood halfway.
"Lucas! Lucas!"
Pradhan raised his eyebrows slightly and asked with a complicated expression.
A man and woman, who look like newlyweds, choose to embrace each other;
There are also some devout Hindus who put their hands together, closed their eyes, and prayed silently as if accepting their fate...
Fortunately, it only took them twenty minutes to reach the safe zone near Zhongcheng District.
Gu Ji was asking the firefighters to remove the fire barrels from the flood control embankment and let the refugees from the North District in. Unexpectedly, two city government officials in suits and ties came.
.
The refugees ran wildly in the water, but were soon knocked down by the stronger people from behind. Some even started swimming directly in the water. Some people seemed to be frightened by the monstrous flood.
Frozen in place, unable to move;
Some people who were exhausted chose to give up, hugging their heads and crying on the spot;
"dad!"
Gu Ji came out of the water, and immediately took a big breath of air. The heavy rain that was originally annoying was beating on his face. At this moment, he felt inexplicably happy. He quickly groped his body, checking his neck, arms, thighs, back and other key points.
Check the area to see if there are any injuries.
"Actually, you don't have to come. Aren't you afraid of death?"
Both will cause a large number of casualties, and even when the disaster is dealt with, the residents of Calcutta will blame them for this.
Gu Ji took out the mineral water bottle from his backpack, drank it in one gulp.
"Help!"
…
But soon, an even louder rumbling sound rushed into everyone's eardrums, like an earthquake. The crowd stood stiffly in surprise, and saw a huge stream of air blowing past Gu Ji's face.
Where the ends of the line of sight met, a yellow line appeared. It gradually lengthened and became thicker. The yellow line across the ground was approaching at the speed of an airplane.
Gu Ji yelled at the top of his lungs, while pulling out the safety rope from his waist and tying himself to the rubber boat.
But the sound of the flood was too loud and the speed was too fast.
The boat troop had not run far when the huge waves behind them were already pressing up on them.
With all his strength, Gu Ji gave the last warning, then took a deep breath and closed his eyes.
It's a flood!
