Volume 6 [The tiger is strong even when it goes to sea] NO.49 Winning in chaos
...a piece of wood was shoveled out to create a drainage ditch, and Zhang Bi's body was quite useful.
The Cossack dagger Ivan gave him also came in handy. Although the length was still a little short, it was still easier to use than the military thorn.
The vines around it are all 20 to 30 years old and are very solid. Although some scum has fallen off after being washed away by rain, the skin is tough and even if it does not tear, it is an excellent binding member.
Because there are many roots hanging down around the big tree, the wood is very hard. After sharpening, it has good penetrating power. We built a frame and tied the thorn to a hardwood fibrous root to make a makeshift spear.
.
Wrapping the rattan is more troublesome, and the selection should be moderate. If you want to tape and rub the skin, you can still make some ropes out of it. It will be no problem if it is firmer for a while.
"Zhang Bi, can we help?"
Xia Zhen and Helen watched helplessly as Zhang Ben was working there alone. There were not many animals left around him. The two big pythons were also running in the other direction. Maybe there were some caves where they could hide.
With a fierce figure like Zhang Ben nearby, the animals' senses instinctively detect panic.
The dead snake on the ground was skinned and dismantled and thrown into a stainless steel basin. Fortunately, there was a field alcohol lamp that was not used, but I was not in a hurry now.
"No, you can't help me much," Zhang Ben shouted without looking back.
There were gusts of wind in the sky, and the gusts were very strong. If this big tree hadn't provided shelter from the wind and rain, God knows what would have happened.
Natural disasters come so quickly, and there are so few preparations for people. They are simply unprepared.
After climbing up the tree, I cut some dense branches and leaves with a few knives, folded them, and made a ceiling. The height was not too high. Xia Zhen and the others had to bend down and lower their heads when entering.
I found some broken wood, and now I got some rocks on the ground, and put them on the rack, and spread the branches with the leaves off on top. It was a bit damp, but if I finally wanted to set up a fire, I didn't have to worry about getting wet from the rain.
Some small wooden strips were used as fences, inserted one by one, and then all the broken branches were tied together, like an apron, and looped around.
It's not airtight, but it's better than having the cold wind blowing outside.
The weather in Thailand is usually hot, but with sudden cold and hot changes, there is no guarantee of getting sick.
Fortunately, the luggage was still slightly watered, so the blankets and clothes inside were not all wet. There were many broken trees under the big tree, but there was really no way to light a fire. Even if it could be ignited, there would be thick smoke.
"I'll make do with it for now. Eat some of the things in the backpack to maintain physical fitness." Zhang Bi threw out a few packs of compressed biscuits and ham from his backpack.
Xia Zhen and Helen's eyes widened. They obviously didn't expect that Zhang Ben still had food in his bag.
"Zhang Bi looked at the two of them and said expressionlessly. Xia Zhen took a bite of the biscuit and felt that what was originally so shabby was now simply delicious. She was a little embarrassed and looked at Zhang Bi shyly: "
So, what about you?"
"Before, in the temple, I ate a lot, and my physical strength was able to last for a long time. Besides, there was this guy Zhang Ben pointed at the white and clean snake meat.
The two women just shivered and ate the biscuits in silence.
"Looking at this situation, I'm afraid that this time the scope is not where we are. It should be downstream of the flood. The small valley on the side is no longer able to flow through." Zhang Ben was thinking about things in his mind and took out his hand.
I checked my cell phone. There was no signal at all. I tried calling the emergency number, but it seemed that I couldn't get it out.
"Forget it, if it doesn't work, just make a raft and float down the forest, it should be fine. We are only a few dozen kilometers away from the big city."
He said it in a relaxed way, just to comfort the two little women. For dozens of kilometers, the road conditions in northern Thailand were already bad. I usually had a headache when driving because of wild animals and domestic animals. Now the floods are raging, and it is completely a vast ocean without an assault boat.
, relying on a raft is no different from leaving it to fate.
However, seeing Zhang Bi's words being relaxed, Xia Zhen's mood calmed down, and he just said nonchalantly: "What a big earthquake, I have never encountered it in my life."
A five-minute strong earthquake, the true interpretation of earthquakes, an earthquake of magnitude 6 or above.
Zhang Ben smiled and patted her head: "Don't be stupid, I'm here to protect you and survive even if Mars hits the earth."
Seeing his smile, Xia Zhen was so moved that she immediately wanted to cry again.
Zhang Ben sighed in his heart, Xia Zhenye was a little wild. But she was a woman with character and emotions, which was quite different from other women...
"When I get back, I will take you to my home and let my grandpa and mother take a look. Zhang Bi said with a smile again.
Xia Zhen nodded: "I will listen to you from now on
"shit".
Zhang Bi flicked it in front of her forehead.
Xia Zhen stuck out her tongue and shrank her head. The two women were sitting on the newly dried stones. They felt the coldness on their buttocks. If they weren't cushioned by half-damp clothes, it would be a bit unbearable.
Fortunately, there is also Zhang Bi's own Zhongshan student uniform and Helen's pink sweatshirt.
Both women took off their T-shirts and bras and wore outer clothes. The wet clothes made them uncomfortable. Zhang Ben was shirtless and his muscles were covered with water beads.
After shaking off whoever was on him, the rain in the sky had not stopped yet, and Zhang Bi did not dare to run too far because of the strong gust of wind.
The big tree acts like a natural protective wall to block the strong wind. The effect of the drainage ditch is quite good. The water starts to drain outward from the roots of the big tree, forming a fast water flow.
The scenery in the distance can now be seen slightly. Many trees were broken by the strong wind, and many small trees were crushed due to the collapse of big trees.
There are more and more debris in the small river valley. The turbid yellow river is completely different from the crystal clear bottom with fish swimming in it before.
The Thai government's emergency response capabilities are very poor. It can be said that the emergency response capabilities of Southeast Asian countries are very poor.
Zhang Ben's preliminary estimate is that there is no guarantee that they will be like this for two or three days.
Such heavy rainfall cannot last long. If it were June or July, there might be heavy rainfall for a week or two, but now it is almost the Lunar New Year and it is winter. It is amazing to have three days.
What's more, Zhang Bi speculated from the scope of the thunderstorm area that their location should be on the edge of the heavy rainfall area. Whether it is the reservoir or Greater Bangkok, it is farther south than where they are, that is, closer to the sea.
.
Therefore, at night, where they are, there may only be sporadic light rain, but there will be strong winds.
As long as it lasts two days, it might be fine.
Zhang Ben thought so.
"Emergency alcohol" Xie Huang, at this time, with the help of bad energy, the bras and shirts of the two women were twisted into pieces and propped up on the ground with small tree branches.
The last few snakes were also driven away by Zhang Bi. One of them was a cobra. It confronted Zhang Bi for a while before disappearing from sight.
At this time, in the greater Bangkok area, the water and the sky are truly the same color, which is much worse than the situation here in Zhang Ben.
The streets and nearby villages were flooded. When the flood slowly receded, I don’t know how long it would take. A large number of people ran to the roofs of low houses, or held their children in wooden basins and swam in the water.
Moving forward, the whole scene looks like the end of the world, extremely tragic.
The monks of the White Elephant Temple escaped. Ashin sat on the back of the big white elephant Ayu, and went with the rest of the elephant team to rescue those in need. Those wooden basins, barrels, and bamboo rafts could all be used to drag the victims.
people.
Dorje and his two disciples were sitting on the roof. It was still raining heavily in the sky. They were wearing raincoats and the monk's robes had already been wet. Dorje looked at everything around him and sighed. He was not as compassionate as Ashin.
He is just Vajra, not Buddha.
However, when disasters come from heaven, even if there are good thoughts about the Buddha, there must also be evil hearts.
In some places, you can see some guys with weapons snatching supplies, and there are even fierce fights. This situation does not reduce the number.
Some foreign tourists who are originally very kind will even occupy some food and fresh water, and then guard an open space with weapons to prevent anyone from approaching.
It was in sharp contrast to their pilgrim-like attitude when they came here.
There are even some local indigenous hunters who are looking for weak people and snatching property. The highland where Zhang Bi is located seems a bit unpopular. The water in the river valley next to it is always very fast, and he has seen nearly twenty corpses.
Some of them who rushed down from the upper reaches were yellow-robed monks.
Buddha did not bless them just because they believed in him.
Just as he was about to pour water into a stainless steel basin and boil the snake meat, he heard a loud noise and someone was coming.
Zhang Bi picked up the 92 pistol without hesitation, and then walked out of the shack. In the northeast, seven or eight people came. They were all shirtless and wearing a pair of shorts. Their bodies were covered with scars and they were a little tired, but they were more
Much of it is fanaticism.
A fearless fanaticism of the ignorant.
Natural disasters will create a lot of crazy guys, and it's obvious that these guys should be like that...
Zhang Ben was holding a homemade long gun and the 92 pistol was inserted into the back of his waist.
This group of people should be local indigenous people.
Seeing Zhang Ben's iron tower-like body under the tree, they were stunned for a moment and yelled something. One of them had a double-barreled shotgun in his hand. He seemed to hesitate for a moment, but did not lift it up.
Of these seven people, one was holding a double-barreled shotgun, and the other six were holding machetes over one foot in length. Their eyes were a little frightened but also looking at them crazily.
The homemade spear in Zhang Ben's hand stood there, showing no fear.
When Helen heard the noise, she came over and said, "They said they didn't mean any harm and just wanted to rest under the tree."
"Tell them to get out."
Zhang Ben said coldly.
Helen nodded and spoke to these people.
The man holding the double-barreled shotgun suddenly became furious. He raised the shotgun and was about to shoot, but he heard a continuous popping sound, five gunshots. The four people were trapped in the mud and stagnant water.
The man holding the double-barreled shotgun was shot once in the head and once in the body. He had no chance to shoot.
The remaining three people's eyes widened. It was obvious that they did not expect that Zhang Bi had a gun, and they did not expect that he would shoot the gun so fast.
A man next to him suddenly went crazy to pick up the shotgun, but the shotgun had already fallen into the water, and he couldn't touch it for a while.
puff!
The military spur pierced his left temple and exited from the right side.
Zhang Ben held the Cossack dagger in his hand and rushed over. He jumped up and swung the knife quickly. With a whoosh sound, a splash of water came up. The other guy was stabbed in the throat on the spot in shock. The dagger penetrated his mouth and stabbed him.
Pierced through the back of the head.
In the horror of the last guy, the crazy look finally disappeared, leaving only endless fear.
But Zhang Bi would not give him any chance to admit his mistake.
With a click, he stepped on a corpse and broke the neck of the last guy.
Zhang Ben glanced indifferently, picked up the double-barreled shotgun, which was obviously a fire stick, and then threw it into the small valley next to it.
All seven corpses were thrown into the flood, and the water on the ground turned dark red, which was shocking.
Six machetes were thrown inside. At least, this kind of thing is very helpful in the woods, and it is a handy guy.
Xia Zhen's eyes widened in the temporary tent when he saw Zhang Bi pulling out the gun and finally breaking the last guy's neck. The time before and after was only twenty seconds at most. Once he took action, he did not leave any room for the other party to escape or even beg for mercy.
Opportunity.
Although Xia Zhen already knew what kind of person Zhang Bi was, her heart was still frightened when she saw that he was still so vicious and vicious.
She knew very well what kind of man she was following.
Helen may have experienced too many exciting things these days, but her face turned pale, and then she silently returned to the tent to rest.
"It seems that no matter what happens during the day tomorrow, we must prepare to leave here and go to the big city. The Zhaopye River is wide and the water should be low. There are more temples there and are safer.
Zhang Bi said to Xia Zhen and Helen.
The two women just nodded dully. At this time, their only support was Zhang Bi. Whatever he said, it was whatever he said.
The two women were comforted by Zhang Bi's reliability, but Zhang Bi himself became worried. If chaos occurs elsewhere, will there be more thugs? How to deal with it then?
Especially when they are foreigners.
However, as long as you get to Baixiang Temple, there should be no big problem.
Zhang Bi felt slightly relieved, because there were still some grenades in the Minigun, and they were at Baixiang Temple. He thought they wouldn't be used anymore, but maybe he wouldn't need to use them again.
In fact, Zhang Bi's worries had already occurred. Even in the famous city of Saraburi, due to the chaos caused by the earthquake, many thugs had appeared to plunder the wealth of the deceased. The sadness and madness in the entire disaster may have exceeded Zhang Bi's.
