The water level of Hongze Lake is originally higher than the surrounding terrain. This is for historical reasons. In the past, the Yellow River overflowed and floods occurred in the northern land. For a period of time, the Yellow River flowed southward, taking over the Huaihe River and entering the sea, and even shared the same estuary with the Yangtze River.
.
The Yellow River brought countless silt and flooded many farmlands. When the Yellow River returned to the north, it left Hongze Lake in the south.
The water level of Hongze Lake is higher than that of surrounding areas. In order to maintain the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it was necessary to maintain the embankments to ensure the smooth flow of the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal. However, the water level of Hongze Lake has always been an unstable factor in Jianghuai.
You never know when it will explode.
In the peaceful years, no one had ever worried about such a thing, because it was almost impossible. As long as there were risky areas, officials would take precautions. But when the doomsday came, what followed was a decrease in population, and China
The population dropped by nine-tenths in an instant, and the world was in chaos. No one paid attention to the water level of Hongze Lake anymore.
When the summer of the second year of the apocalypse arrived, the typhoon penetrated deeply into the hinterland, causing flooding in the Jingxiang area, and people were trapped on rooftops and treetops. At this time, the whole country's attention was on Jingxiang, with the north and south of Dongting Lake being the focus.
As for the embankment of Hongze Lake, no one has observed it.
After the mutated crocodile was forced to the west bank of Hongze Lake, it looked at the helicopter hovering in the sky, its huge body hidden under the water, and it was trembling slightly.
The mutated crocodile ate many people and mutated animals. The residents on both sides of the Yangtze River were so afraid of it that they could only call it the Dragon King. But in fact, it was also afraid of humans. It knew that even if it was in the Yangtze River, it could roam freely.
It is wreaking havoc, but it is not invincible. Once humans really take action, it will be a complete disaster for it.
Therefore, the mutated crocodile never dares to provoke humans on a large scale, and only finds lone humans to eat. However, once there is a large ship on the water or an airplane flies over in the sky, it will hide under the water and say nothing.
Come out, it is trying to avoid appearing in the eyes of many people.
The mutated crocodile's IQ only ends here. It doesn't know and can't think of smarter options.
This method seems stupid, but in fact it has remarkable results. For a long time, no one could see clearly the true face of the Dragon King of the Yangtze River. Everyone thought that there really was an evil dragon in the Yangtze River, whether it was to fetch water or not.
When fishing, always go in groups. It is safer when there are more people.
And now at this time, the Yangtze Dragon King was chased for three consecutive days. During this period, he swam from Dongting Lake to Hongze Lake without eating or drinking. He originally wanted to get rid of the humans chasing behind him, but he could sense that there were two people on the boat.
It's particularly scary. In a fight, you may not be able to take advantage of it.
Fortunately, the water network in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River is dense. Otherwise, the Dragon King would have had nowhere to run and would have been cornered earlier.
As a result, even so, it was unable to get rid of the pursuers behind it, and humans were still chasing it sleeplessly.
The Dragon King decided to risk his life. He was not willing to die like this, so he overturned the human boat and ate one of them.
Shen Feng, who once blinded the Dragon King, has now become more powerful. He flew into the sky with the help of a paraglider. Countless wind blades fell from the sky and cut off one of the Dragon King's front claws.
At this time, the Dragon King has been forced into a corner. There are helicopters hovering in the sky. Although there is a vast river around him, as soon as he shows his head, he will inevitably suffer a violent blow. The Dragon King's body is now injured. Continue to fight.
There is absolutely no life or death.
The desperate Dragon King frantically hit the embankment underwater, completely venting his dissatisfaction. When the typhoon came to the Jianghuai area, it immediately brought abundant rain. The water level in Hongze Lake suddenly rose, and the embankment had already withstood the
It put a lot of pressure on it, and now it was hit crazily by the Dragon King, causing a small gap half a meter wide.
The water in Hongze Lake suddenly surged down, but the half-meter-wide gap was immediately torn apart, and the embankment of a thousand miles was destroyed in an ant nest. It seemed very exaggerated. But this is a very vivid description. Regarding the mighty river,
As long as there is even a gap in the embankment, the river water will instantly expand the gap and eventually cause the embankment to burst.
Hongze Lake collapsed, and the flood flowed down the river. The crocodile also took the opportunity to escape among it. The flood mixed a lot of sediment and branches, and the reeds that were not cleaned last year were also washed away. The helicopter could not find the exact location of the crocodile, and finally had to
Flying back helplessly.
After Shen Feng heard the news about the collapse of Hongze Lake, they were all stunned. They didn't expect that the battle that was already a sure thing could happen again.
Ke Yiming had no choice but to say to Shen Feng: "Let's find a boat and continue looking for the Dragon King. In addition, we must inform people in the west to avoid the flood."
When Lu Kaiwen heard this, he shook his head. He found a stick and started drawing. While drawing, he explained: "The situation is different now. Do you know what the consequences will be if Hongze Lake bursts its embankment? Now the Yangtze River
The survivors downstream are basically concentrated in big cities, and as Hongze Lake washes away to the west, these big cities will be affected first, with millions of people, the disaster has already come! Do you still want to kill the Dragon King?"
Ke Yiming looked at the map drawn by Kevin Lu and couldn't help but frown, but he immediately said: "Disaster relief is indeed very important, but what else can the four of us do? Can we save thousands of people?
We can't do it, we can only kill this dragon king, and we can't let it cause more harm!"
Of course Ke Yiming knew what the collapse of the Hongze Lake embankment meant. Thousands of people would be affected by this incident. Whether it was people's life safety or property safety, they were all seriously threatened. But the plan to hunt down the Dragon King
We have come to this point, and there is only one final step left before we are done. Wouldn't it be a failure to give up at this time?
Especially when Hongze Lake collapses, floods are everywhere in the Jianghuai area, and the victims may be attacked by the Dragon King at any time. The Dragon King has already eaten thousands of people before. How many more people will it eat in the future?
Shen Feng did not expect that the flood would sweep across the lower reaches of the Yangtze River. He thought that the area in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River would be severely affected, but now the collapse of Hongze Lake has caused the lower reaches to be affected as well, putting more people at risk.
Fortunately, Ke Yiming notified his superiors in time and asked them to stop people from evacuating, so many people were saved.
It was late at night now, and many people were sleeping. As a result, the alarm suddenly rang in the sky. Looking at the news again, Hongze Lake broke its embankment. People hurriedly began to evacuate. There was no time to pack their things. They took some dry food and went with their families.
Walking towards higher ground, the flood soon hit.
Although the doomsday is coming, many cities are superstitious about their own defense power. As long as there are enough guns and shells, no zombies or mutant beasts can rush into the city. Therefore, city walls are never built unless they are directly affected by the zombie wave.
Threatening, otherwise no one will do things like building a city wall that wastes people and money.
Many areas to the west of Hongze Lake are already densely populated. When the flood comes, the waves directly enter the city. The roads and low-rise houses are all submerged by the flood. And the typhoon passes through the downstream areas. Suddenly,
The entire plain is filled with stagnant water that cannot be dispersed.
The disaster that occurred in the Jingxiang area has now occurred in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and more people are threatened by floods.
When the headquarters heard the news, they immediately fell silent. People at the headquarters knew that the entire middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River were completely destroyed and would not be able to recover in a short time. The threat of floods did not disappear after receding. In the next few years,
Here, it is very likely that this area will not be able to recover. Not only crop cultivation but also industrial production will basically be impossible. And the only food production areas in the country are Northeast and Sichuan! The Central Plains area will not be able to recover in a short time.
Production and food shortages can be said to be inevitable.
"Famine is coming!" Everyone had a bad premonition. They thought that after Yanjing won the battle against the zombies, the next step would be to recover the country step by step, but a flood disrupted all plans.
!
The most terrible thing is that if the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River are hit by disasters, food production will also be greatly affected. With so many disaster-stricken people desperate for food, famine is bound to occur. However, the transportation arteries have not yet been restored, and it is also difficult to transport food. I don’t know this.
What consequences will a famine have?
Shen Feng finally decided to continue hunting the mutant crocodiles, but news came from Yuzhou that hundreds of thousands of mutant beasts appeared in the southern mountains, and they had begun to think of ways to cross the river. Yuzhou was threatened!
When Shen Feng heard the news, he quickly called Yang Chang and informed Yang Chang, "Take your people back to defend the city quickly. Something happened at home!"
Shen Feng also couldn't understand why countless mutant beasts emerged from the mountains in the south. They obviously didn't encounter any danger when they went to recapture some towns in the south, but the crisis really broke out like this.
In fact, Shen Feng also wanted to rush back to Yuzhou immediately, but Ke Yiming held on to Shen Feng's hand and refused to let go, "Shen Feng, you are too anxious. There are only mutant beasts over there in Yuzhou, but there are still mutant beasts there."
There is a city wall, and mutant beasts cannot enter the city. Didn’t you ask Yang Chang to go back? They have six to seven thousand people guarding a city, what are you afraid of? We can’t live without you here!"
Ke Yiming really has no choice. He has seen Shen Feng's fighting power with his own eyes. He cannot be missing in the process of chasing the Dragon King. If Shen Feng is missing, who knows if he can beat the mutated crocodile next time.
Yes? Therefore, Shen Feng must not leave.
Shen Feng immediately said: "What do you know? My wife is still pregnant, and there are more than a thousand recruits in the city. What if they can't stop the mutant beasts from attacking the city? My wife and children are the most important, Yang Chang and the others need to take a boat
I can go back in only one day, the speed is too slow, I can fly back in one day. The plan to hunt the Dragon King should be next time!"
After saying that, Shen Feng broke free from Ke Yiming's hand and was about to leave. As for Lu Kaiwen, he could only let him stay here temporarily, but Ke Yiming suddenly knelt down for Shen Feng at this time. There was gold under the man's knees. Ke Yiming had abandoned his pride now, and he said sincerely: "Shen Feng, I beg you, follow me and kill the Dragon King. In just a few months, this evil dragon has already eaten five or six thousand people. If you let the tiger go back to the mountain, you will cause endless disasters!"
Shen Feng was so entangled by Ke Yiming that he had no choice but to agree: "Okay, okay, just get up and I will fight with you, but we have agreed first that if my senior sister can't handle it anymore, I will go back no matter what, now, quickly find the traces of the Dragon King, complete the mission, and go our separate ways!"
Shen Feng was too panicked at this time. Hearing about the danger in Yuzhou, he immediately returned home. But if he thought about it carefully, Yuzhou had a tall city wall, and it was impossible for mutant beasts to rush in, and Chu Chaoyan is also protecting Chang Jianyi, and Chang Jianyi's safety can also be guaranteed.
Shen Feng figured this out, and immediately searched for ships nearby, and finally found a small boat. There was no oar to use, so he could only find a piece of bamboo, cut it off, and use the small boat to track the Dragon King.
Ke Yiming looked at the tracker display in his hand and suddenly became confused. He couldn't help but said: "The Dragon King has stopped. Could it be that it can't hold on? Could it be that it is resting?"
Ke Yiming led the people to chase him, and finally found a reed swamp. Everyone approached slowly, but suddenly smelled a foul smell. When they got closer, they found that it was a pool of excrement, and the nearby reeds had already been crushed. , the Dragon King is nowhere to be seen, and the signal is in the excrement.
Lu Kaiwen sighed and said: "There is really nothing we can do now. The wild deer has been digested and excreted. It is no longer possible to use the signal to track the Dragon King!"
Ke Yiming was completely desperate. He didn't expect that the vigorous operation would end here. After ten days of operation, nothing had been achieved so far. Millions of people in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River were affected, floods were raging, and mutated crocodiles could swim everywhere. causing greater disasters.
"God, you didn't help me! Why did you let the typhoon appear? Why did you let Hongze Lake collapse?" Ke Yiming lay back and fell into the water. He was unwilling to give in. He had already won. It was about to arrive, and the results he had been chasing for several days were about to be obtained. As a result, Hongze Lake collapsed, causing his plan to fail.
Is it possible that this is what Zhuge Liang said: "Everything depends on people, but everything depends on heaven?"
Shen Feng stretched out his hand to pull Ke Yiming up from the water and comforted him: "Don't worry, there is always a way. Besides, I opened a big wound on the Dragon King. If it accidentally gets infected with bacteria or viruses, If you die, doesn't it count as a victory?" This chapter has been completed!
