Chapter 180 The truth behind the flash flood (please vote)
This is the horror of natural disasters.
Human life is as lowly as weeds in front of floods.
Creak--!
A sudden sound from behind interrupted Gu Ji's contemplation. He turned around, his frown gradually flattened, the corners of his eyes widened, and his two eyeballs bulged outwards.
It was a blue cargo ship more than 60 meters long and 10 meters wide. It was pushed diagonally by the flood waves. With a bang, it hit the office building next to it, like a sharp blade, inserted into the building. The huge
The building seemed to be crumbling due to the intrusion, and a large section of the upper glass was shattered, revealing the crazy screaming crowd inside.
"ah--!"
One of them, unable to escape in time, was pushed down from the building alive by the panicking crowd behind him. He fell into the water and disappeared.
incredible.
Ships will appear in urban buildings, and the disaster scene in the movie "The Day After Tomorrow" actually happened in reality!
Before the physiological instinct of fear ended, Gu Ji turned his head forcibly. Taking advantage of the reverse waves caused by the collision of the ship, he grabbed the edge of the rubber boat, used all his strength to straighten the hull, and then quickly climbed to the stern of the external propeller.
, grabbed the starting handle, stood up and pulled hard.
Boom, boom, boom...
"Hurry up, hurry up..."
Finally, after countless attempts, the gasoline engine suddenly made a "rumble" sound, and the ship's hull moved backwards as if it had regained power.
But just when he turned around to look in the direction, a black shadow suddenly stabbed in front of him.
In mid-July 2010, heavy rains raged in the northeastern region of Xia State and floods occurred in the eastern part of Jiangji Province. Three floods converged at the same time in Qiankou Town, Yong County, forming a once-in-a-century flood. The height of the flood wave reached five meters, and Kolkata was far away.
The Farakka Dam is a full 100 kilometers long, which shows what a terrifying amount of water the Hooghly River brings!
Judging from the previous experience of completing hidden tasks in levels, it cannot be completed by just guessing. It is necessary to find insiders or substantial evidence, such as Gillian in the Ryder Airport level, or the special amine derivatives in the Underground Building level.
things.
Sure enough, Gu Ji controlled the rubber rescue boat and just turned out of the alley, he saw three or four slum refugees floating on the water. Among them, a man and a woman were wearing life jackets, and another uncle was holding a broken tree trunk, "
Don't move around, you must wait for me to pass!"
"Captain Pradhan, we should gather the scattered boat formations as much as possible now and find a way to fish out the refugees floating on the water in the early stages of the flood!"
If it weren't for one crisis after another stimulating his nerves, Gu Ji would always be on high alert.
"Yes, Tropical Storm S103 has completely dissipated. There is no more continuous rainfall. The water in southern Bengal is slowly receding. The rescue work is going smoothly, but..."
According to the standard sea state level, the wave height is 4-6 meters, and the storm wave shape at the flood peak is already a level 6 giant wave. This may be more common near the coast, but it is very exaggerated in inland rivers.
It was Fatima who spoke. Gu Ji tore open the zipper of the tent, but unexpectedly he was hit by a strong light that made him squint his eyes, "Is the sky clear?"
Just when Gu Ji was trying to get the refugees to cooperate with him in using the "O" type centrifugal rescue.
…
"good!"
Never underestimate a life jacket, a bag of rice, or a box of bottled water.
After being hit by the flood, most of the infrastructure in the town was severely damaged, and the mobile phone had no signal. He handed another satellite phone to Gu Ji, "I have reported the situation to the disaster response command.
Department experts, they will be responsible for contacting the air force base for support, Vidi, our troops will be divided into two rescue groups, I will be responsible for the direction of the Hooghly River, and you will be responsible for the west side, and we will gather in the lower reaches of Nancheng District!"
As time goes by, the number of deaths in the lower left corner starts to grow slower and slower.
Gu Ji took the initiative to park the boat next to Pradhan's rubber boat, "And it's not enough to rely on us alone. We also need helicopter rescue from the military!"
Gu Ji couldn't help but grin and hurriedly controlled the steering wheel.
Pradhan tugged on the noose around his waist, then glanced at a tall and lanky rescuer next to him, "Kapil, you go to Vidi's boat to help!"
"Because the Farakka Dam was not blasted in time, a huge flood broke out in Bangnan. The cabinet government was furious. The Prime Minister ordered a thorough investigation of the Ministry of Finance and Taxation and the Midnapur District Government. I heard that the relevant personnel have been taken into custody by the Central Bureau of Investigation this morning.
Let’s go!”
"Reach out and grab the handrail on the side of the boat! Quick!"
And he asked the Army to put out a large number of life jackets and lifebuoys from the beginning.
Therefore, as long as these residents of northern Kolkata can survive the first wave of floods, many people will survive.
While urging, he repeatedly pulled the starting handle, and at the same time, he had to hold on to the hull of the boat to maintain balance and prevent himself from being swept down by the waves.
"I'll leave the matter of my return to life to you. I have some other things to deal with back in Assam."
With the blessing of heavy rains, the floods became more severe. The wind and waves were like walls, hitting the surrounding buildings. Cars were drifting with the water like boats. Almost all the low-lying houses in the north and middle city were submerged, leaving only
A few dozen residences and buildings below separate the rough water flow into patches of whitecaps.
[Sub-line goal: Obtain cooperation from the Mountain Division Special Border Force successfully!]
The flood lasted only about an hour.
"Help me!"
This is normal. For a national disaster involving multiple states, the financial expenditure on the government is often very terrible.
Gu Ji opened his eyes and couldn't believe that he was woken up by the sound of the game system.
"Help, Gulu...help..."
Since he formulated the dam bombing plan yesterday morning, he has been working continuously for 36 hours without a wink.
It is as if there was no flood at all, but these buildings were built in the midst of the raging river.
"Any more good news?"
The truth about flash floods in Assam…
Throughout the morning, Gu Ji and Prada were busy searching and rescuing the city.
Unexpectedly, there was a shout from behind, and then a lifebuoy with a safety rope was thrown in the air, and it landed right next to the Indian uncle.
Pradhan also understood the principle of "golden rescue time", so he took out a satellite phone from his tool bag.
When I turned around, I didn't expect it to be Pradhan.
"Don't blame yourself, your method is very effective, and that's why the three of us survived."
In the subsidence period, the water flow will no longer be as turbulent as before, and the deep water level will remain at about five meters. Although on the surface, it seems that the water search and rescue in Kolkata is more difficult than that in Assam, in fact, because the former is
During the day, with the cooperation of military helicopters and most of the people wearing reflective life jackets and lifebuoys, it was easier and smoother.
In the evening, the heavy rain finally began to lighten up, which undoubtedly made the search and rescue much more difficult.
His idea was simple. He would first take a special plane of the Special Border Force back to Sam State and ask about the situation in the Himalayas, because the 57th Mountain Division of the Fourth Army of the Indian Army was originally responsible for garrisoning the mountains 40 kilometers north of Dispur.
Half waist is responsible for training new recruits and always maintaining an offensive and defensive posture. It is one of the three strongest frontier units of the Indian Army, so it must be aware of some unusual movements in the mountains.
Under the gloomy sky, as many as a dozen military helicopters and transport planes came and went, responsible for rescue and delivering supplies respectively. Not to mention the people of Kolkata, even the rescue workers of the disaster response force had never seen "the sky above their heads"
"There are still such lively times.
It is estimated that he will not be able to survive it.
"ah!"
"The power of a five-meter-high flood is too terrifying..."
Theoretically, the highest fatality rate from floods is drowning, followed by being struck by objects, stabbed by sharp objects, and then electric shock, etc.
The two men and women wearing life jackets climbed onto the boat easily, but the old man holding the wood never dared to let go, for fear that he would lose his grip and fall into the water.
Whether it's close combat training at sea or specialization in floods and rapids, it all comes with water rubber speedboat driving skills.
Gu Ji was worried that he would not have a chance to return to northern Assam, so he hurriedly finished his sentence and ran towards the camp where the military area was stationed before Fatima could finish her sentence.
He increased the throttle and turned the bow of the boat, cutting diagonally through the fast current and gliding to the side of several people.
The other missing persons either separated from the ship and fled elsewhere, or were temporarily trapped somewhere.
Working with people who understand is smooth.
Because the disaster caused by the devastating flood in Kolkata is so great, the Indian cabinet will definitely find someone to take the blame and quell public dissatisfaction, so it is only a matter of time that these people are arrested; on the other hand, he is not an Indian himself, so he naturally has no intention of punishing corruption in India.
There is no sense of substitution at all.
In the flash of lightning, Gu Ji instinctively leaned back.
"I'm sorry, Captain Pradhan. When the flood was recorded, they were all swept into the undercurrent and dispersed. Only I was tied to the boat by a safety rope and was not thrown away from the rubber boat."
[Unlock the hidden goal: Find the truth behind the flash floods in Assam!]
Just as Gu Ji was thinking about where to start, there was a sudden rush of footsteps in front of the tent.
The roar of the gasoline engine was right next to his ears, and the churning water waves of the paddle splashed on the back of his head. In front of his suddenly shrinking pupils, a black shadow brushed against his nose seven or eight centimeters, passing dangerously and dangerously. He hurriedly looked back.
, it turned out to be an iron frame on a collapsed gray cement pole. If he hadn't reacted in time, he would have ended up with his chest pierced by the steel bar!
Fortunately, I chose the emergency avoidance mark.
