This heavy rain was not only in places close to the coast, but extremely dense water vapor covered everywhere, and even heavy rain fell in the northwest region.
The northwest has always been short of water.
The vegetation in the northwest region is roughly divided into grassland, desert steppe, desert, and then desert from east to west.
But this heavy rain is not a good thing for the northwest region, which has a lot of deserts and sparse vegetation.
If this heavy rain falls over several years, it may be possible to change the desert vegetation here and grow many grasses and trees instead.
But.
This heavy rain came too quickly and too much.
Instead, the already barren soil here was washed away, taking away the soil and leaving bare rocks.
Jiayu City.
It is higher in the south and lower in the north, with the Badain Jaran Desert in the north and the Qilian Mountains in the south.
It is run through by the Dabei River from east to west.
What was originally a small Dabei River has now formed an extremely wide river.
Looking up, it looks like a vast lake.
Since it rarely rains throughout the year, it is a temperate continental desert type with only over 80 millimeters of annual precipitation and a relatively weak drainage system.
This heavy rain is undoubtedly a huge disaster.
suburbs.
Yuquan Town has many ancient city walls that have lasted for thousands of years.
With a heavy rain, it also had a great impact on this area.
This place is some distance from the Dabei River, but heavy rains have been falling for more than two months, and some low-lying areas are still flooded.
Outside the ancient city wall, there is a dense network of rivers.
The floods continued to rise and had reached the edge of the ancient city wall.
There are many people in the ancient city wall carrying sandbags and stacking them on the ancient city wall in case of emergency.
The height of the ancient city wall reaches twelve meters, which is quite majestic.
In the heavy rain, on top of the wall.
A tall man with sharp eyes wearing a hat, a Chinese character face, a pair of sharp eyebrows at the temples, full of momentum.
"Have the Third Brigade and the Second Squadron seal the city gates with sandbags to prevent floods from flooding in."
The deputy next to the man heard the column leader's order and hesitated for a few seconds before asking:
"The floods are not rising normally. There have been heavy rains before, but they have never caused such serious waterlogging. How about forming a death squad and going out on a boat to have a look?"
On their side, there is only one force, and that is them.
There are several columns, each column has 5 brigades, each brigades has 5 squadrons, each squadron has 10 squads, and each squad has 10 people.
There are 2,500 men in one column.
Above this column is the captain, and above the captain is the boss.
At this time, standing on the wall of the ancient city was Huang Feilong, the captain of the third column. After hearing the words of his deputy, Huang Feilong looked at the flood in the distance, and several zombies surfaced from time to time.
He flatly refused and said: "No, there are so many zombies in the flood. If you let the brothers go out to explore the situation, why don't you just let them die?"
The deputy sighed: "However, there have been heavy rains before, and they did not cause such serious waterlogging. There must be places blocked by sand, which is why the flood discharge is not smooth. Otherwise, the Beida River should flow eastward!"
"
"That won't work either." Huang Feilong refused righteously.
"All right."
"Hurry and execute the order!" Huang Feilong urged again.
"yes."
The deputy hurried down the city wall and immediately contacted the second squadron of the third brigade.
Huang Feilong looked at the flood like a vast ocean with stern eyes.
In Jiayu City in the northwest, far away from the Central Plains, the population is sparsely populated.
It is an excellent place to be away from a large number of zombies in the apocalypse.
Coupled with the fact that Ma Laoliu in Youlan City in the east is blocking the tide of zombies heading west, they basically have nothing to worry about here.
There is a large desert in the north and the Qilian Mountains in the south. At most, only some zombies from the west come here.
But there are relatively few.
There are not many zombies that can be seen on weekdays, just sporadic ones.
But this time the natural disaster hit them hard. When the thunderstorm disaster first broke out, the first column lost contact, and the second column was still on its way back, and there is still no trace of it until now.
I don’t know what the situation of the second column is now.
This area is located in a desert area, so growing food crops is difficult.
In addition, there are natural disasters every now and then, and the impact is not small.
What hinders their development is not the zombie wave, but unpredictable natural disasters.
Originally, it was difficult to grow food here, and it could only be harvested once a year, but now there are always several natural disasters a year, making it even more difficult.
Huang Feilong was thinking about some things, and looked at the lake in the distance in a daze.
After the deputy got off the wall, the road was muddy.
Several tanks drove by and people came and went.
"Deputy Column Captain."
The deputy saw the captain of the first brigade jumping out of the tank and asked quickly:
"Where is the third brigade? Why can't we contact them?"
The captain of the first brigade pointed to the back and said: "They are still cleaning the sand and gravel there."
"Send someone to inform them and ask them to send a squadron to block the gate of the city wall. The flood is about to come up and the gate may leak."
"yes."
After the deputy column leader finished explaining, he wiped the rain off his face.
"It's really frustrating. It's really strange that it rains so heavily in the northwest."
He is an authentic Northwester and grew up here.
Jiayu City has very little annual rainfall, but it does snow.
But I have never seen such a heavy rainstorm in my life.
.....
.....
When the thunderstorm disaster first arrived, continuous lightning damaged some tanks and armored vehicles.
During the storm, the sky was filled with yellow sand and it was impossible to see clearly, but luckily there were relatively few zombies here, so except for some people who were injured in the storm, there were no deaths.
That storm destroyed all the crops they had planted for a long time.
The storm was followed by heavy rains, continuous heavy rains that settled the dust in the air.
Everything has returned to calm.
But within the calm lies unknown danger.
Heavy rains continued for more than two months, and large amounts of rain fell, washing away the desert land.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Because a lot of soil in the Qilian Mountains in the south was washed away by heavy rains, mudslides and landslides occurred.
A large number of mudslides flowed down from the mountains, forming a large barrier lake in the east of Jiayu City.
The floodwaters could not be drained away, causing waterlogging here.
According to the terrain here, it is actually unlikely that waterlogging will occur, after all, the altitude here is relatively high.
But there is a lot of sand and silt, and the flood water cannot be drained out at all.
Overlooking the entire Jiayu City from a high altitude, relying on the Beida River, a few kilometers to the north has become a vast ocean.
The Beida River flows from west to east, and more than ten kilometers away in the east, debris flows from the mountains wash down. Where the Beida River turns, sediment accumulates, forming a dam similar to a hydropower station.
The bottom of this dam is full of sediment. As time goes by, more and more sediment accumulates, and the dam becomes more stable.
In short, if the dam is not broken, the entire Jiayu City will definitely be submerged by floods as time goes by.
A barrier lake has been formed.
...
.....
The center of the ancient city wall.
Within a villa.
In the hall.
There were only three people sitting there.
There is a rectangular table, and sitting at the top is a man wearing a POLO shirt. From the appearance of the man, you can't tell his age. His appearance is ordinary, but his temperament is outstanding.
Behind this man, there is an old man with white hair in braids, standing behind the man with his hands behind his back.
On the left and right sides of the rectangular table, there is a man on each side.
The man on the right has a military temperament and looks quite imposing.
The man on the left is wearing a pair of glasses. As his eyes move, it can be seen that his eyes are very bright under the light.
At this moment, he was squinting his eyes, stroking the water glass in his hand, and slightly opening his thin lips:
"Boss, I still stick to my original idea. There were heavy rains before. Although it can't compare to this one, it didn't cause a flood like this."
"We don't know how long this heavy rain will last. I just came down from the fence and I can already see that the flood is approaching our fence."
"If we don't figure out why the floodwaters are not being discharged and keep waiting for the water level to rise, it will be too late by then."
"On the other hand, although the ancient city wall has survived for thousands of years, it has not experienced flooding. I don't think our wall can stop the flood from outside."
...
"You're farting!"
Before the bespectacled man could finish speaking, the muscular man sitting opposite swore.
"I personally repaired the ancient city wall and reinforced it with cement and steel bars. Why can't it stop the flood?"
"Ma Zhunzhi, don't think that I don't know what you are thinking. In short, I will just say, I do not accept the method you proposed."
The boss in the center knocked on the yellow wooden table.
Da da da--
"Jipeng."
"Don't be anxious. We are discussing a solution. Don't act out of emotion."
After Yin Jipeng heard what the boss said, he looked at Ma Zhunzhi opposite and snorted coldly.
Turned his head and looked to the side.
The boss frowned slightly when he saw Yin Jipeng acting like this.
Then he looked at the man with glasses and said:
"That's right, you continue to finish."
"Yes, boss."
Ma Zhunzhi adjusted his glasses and did not look at Yin Jipeng sitting opposite. Although this Yin Jipeng was the captain of several columns, he was in charge of the team and had great power.
But after all, I manage all the internal affairs and logistics here, so in terms of status, it's pretty much the same.
They all fall under the leadership of the boss.
But this Yin Jipeng seemed to be incompatible with him, and he always targeted him.
He pulled out a map from the paper tube next to him.
Spread out and lay flat on the table.
"Boss, look, this is the map of our Jiayu City."
"According to common sense, the terrain here is higher than the surrounding areas, so waterlogging is unlikely to occur, but look here..."
As he spoke, he pointed to the east of Dabei River, in the middle of Jiayu City and Liquor Market.
"This is where the Dabei River turns, and sediment is easy to settle here."
"I just looked at the fence and the flood velocity is not very fast. That means there must be a place below that is blocked, preventing the rainwater from draining out."
"So I suspect that sedimentation and accumulation in this place may have caused blockage, and a large barrier lake has formed in our large Jiayu City."
"If we don't want the flood level to rise, we must dredge this place and open a hole for the flood to let the rainwater flow out!"
As he spoke, he raised his head and glanced at Yin Jipeng, who was sitting opposite.
He took a sip of water and continued:
"Captain Yin's opinion is the second way I want to say."
"Then it's Bohe Gambling."
"We bet that this natural disaster will pass soon. Once the heavy rain stops, we will naturally not have to worry about rising floods."
"It means that as the floods rise, we need to spend a lot of manpower and material resources to find ways to prevent the floods from reaching our walls."
"As Captain Yin said, the ancient city wall has been repaired and can completely block the flood. But I want to ask a question. The lowest part of the ancient city wall is eight meters and the highest part is 12 meters. If the flood level reaches eight meters,
What should we do?"
"snort!"
Yin Jipeng snorted coldly:
"It's impossible. The flood level will reach the height of eight meters of the ancient city wall, and most of Jiayu City will be flooded."
"Besides, even if the water reaches eight meters, I have a way to deal with it."
"Oh? Then tell me." Ma Zhunzhi raised his eyebrows and looked at him in disbelief.
Yin Jipeng became increasingly unhappy when he saw Ma Zhunzhi's expression.
"The stacking of sand and soil can at least increase the height by three to four meters. If we have all the people in the base, I am confident that it can be stacked even higher. Seven or eight meters is not impossible..."
"hehe."
Ma Zhunzhi sneered: "You mean, if the heavy rain keeps falling, even if the stacking of sandbags you mentioned is feasible, have you thought about what will happen?"
"At that time, our entire base seemed to be surrounded by floods, and the water level was higher than our house! Once the sandbags cannot hold on and burst the embankment, do you know what will happen to us?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Death!"
Ma Zhunzhi said and stood up.
Staring at Yin Jipeng, he said seriously:
"Captain Yin, although we won't deal with it, it is very important. Now when life and death are at stake, I hope you can put aside your prejudice."
He looked at the boss, cupped his fists and said:
"Boss, I suggest that we send three small teams to row out of the base, find the blockage, blow it open in one fell swoop, dredge the river, let the flood flow out, and solve our worries in one fell swoop."
"I knew you didn't fart properly!"
After Yin Jipeng heard what Ma Zhunzhi said, he was furious.
"You don't know there are zombies in the flood outside! If you go out on a boat and get caught by a zombie, you will definitely die!"
"You don't value the lives of your brothers, you beast!"
When Ma Zhunzhi heard the word "animal", his eyebrows jumped.
The expression on his face was also a bit unbearable, and he thought to himself: common man! Don’t plot with him!
"you..."
"snort!"
Ma Zhunzhi felt that his argument with Yin Jipeng was a little priceless, so he simply turned his head and sat down heavily on the stool without saying a word.
Silence for a minute.
The boss sitting above kept listening and didn't interrupt.
After listening to the two of them chatting, it became clear what the dispute between them was about this matter.
Both methods have their own advantages and disadvantages.
The boss's eyes moved slightly, his thoughts changed rapidly, and he broke the awkward silence.
"Ahem."
"I wonder if it is possible to use our heavy artillery to directly bomb that area to dredge the river."
Hearing this, Ma Zhunzhi nodded, but then quickly shook his head.
"It's possible, but if the position is not accurate enough, you can only hit it blindly.
If we target that area for bombing...according to calculations, if we want to cover such a large area and blast away the sand, the amount of ammunition we would need..."
"It's probably going to take a lot, um... it should be a lot."
"But if we send people over to figure out the specific blockage point, the amount of ammunition required is only one percent."
After hearing what Ma Zhunzhi said, the boss knew what was going on.
Yin Jipeng just didn't want to lose manpower.
But from an economic point of view, Ma Zhunzhi's proposal must be the most suitable.
Save ammunition and take the initiative to solve the problem in one fell swoop. You no longer have to worry about rising flood levels as you do now.
