"Pike, didn't you say that you are most familiar with the terrain here? How long did you calculate the time to discharge the wastewater?" Wu Chang, who was lying on the ground, asked tightly.
"It will take at least three hours, I calculated it very clearly..."
Before Parker could finish speaking, Wu Chang jumped up from the ground, carried the disabled Irene on his back, and then ran forward.
"Come on, you must have made a miscalculation..."
At this juncture, no one dared to question Wu Chang's judgment. A group of people followed his footsteps and ran all the way. On the way, Pike kept muttering, "How could it be wrong? I remember it very clearly?"
Ryan, who was supporting the bull, went up and slapped Pike on the back of the head. "Why are you talking so much nonsense? Hurry up and help the bull."
The beaten Pike didn't dare to tell the difference, so he picked up the bull's arm and ran forward quickly.
Wu Chang's judgment was correct. The weak vibration coming from the north was the discharge of water from three thermal power plants. Geothermal energy is an energy source that is available everywhere in Huang'e Star. The thermal power plants extract energy from the hot spring water to supply the city.
Used.
Although Huang'e City is not big, it is also a medium-sized city with a population of more than 200,000. Coupled with the energy needs of the surrounding mining areas, this allows the three power plants to operate at full capacity all year round. The hot water accumulated in six hours is enough to drain the drainage pipes.
There was a flood on the Internet.
It stands to reason that Pike should not have misremembered these common sense knowledge. Unfortunately, Pike is just a humble miner after all. Huang E City did not notify him specifically when they changed the drainage time, which resulted in today's serious mistake.
Billions of cubic meters of hot water rushed in, filling the main pipe network with a diameter of more than ten meters. White waves surged into the sky, and the sound was as loud as thunder, roaring over the huge terrain gap.
This speed is too fast and cannot be surpassed by ordinary people. If Wu Chang hadn't been alert in advance, everyone might have died here.
Wu Chang and the others were so unlucky that there was no branch road at all. Everyone could only run south on the alloy platform on the side of the sewer. Fortunately, Wu Chang had early warning, otherwise these people might not have arrived yet.
As soon as I ran quickly, I was already swallowed up by the peak of the flood.
The sound of water behind them became louder and louder, and the people running wildly were panting, but they still found no fork in the road in front of them, not even a shelter. The early warning of impermanence was actually just for everyone.
With 5 minutes of escape time, no matter how powerful the flesh and blood body is, it will be difficult to compete with the force of nature.
Despair spread throughout the team, especially Pike, who now had the idea of giving up. His feet felt as if they were filled with lead, dragging the injured bull to struggle at the back of the team.
Ryan and Boss Pan were running side by side in the middle of the team. Although the situation was better than that of Man Niu, they were already out of breath.
At the front of the team is Wu Chang, who is carrying Irene on his back. After all, Wu Chang's strength has reached the level of a third-level warrior. Although he was injured and lost a lot of blood, his foundation is still better than the current group of people.
Carrying an Irene on his back, coupled with a lot of blood loss and continuous fighting, Wu Chang's use of the power of the dragon and tiger at this time has no effect, and the despair has now infected him.
While running, Eileen realized the seriousness of the situation. She suddenly jumped off Wu Chang's back with force and shouted, "Run, everyone escapes for their own lives. Don't carry any more burdens. Those who survive remember to avenge everyone..."
…”
Before Irene finished speaking, behind everyone, at the corner of the drainage pipe network, a white wave had already rushed over, which was the vanguard of the flood.
This time, even Ryan and Boss Pan no longer hesitated. They shouted at Wu Chang, "Run, Wu Chang, run quickly, leave us alone. Just remember to avenge us..."
At this time, Barbarian Bull also threw Pike away. He pointed at Pike and shouted, "Smelly rat, run away with Wu Chang. Everyone's hope is on you two."
Man Niu was right, he and Boss Pan were both injured, Ryan was older, and Erin was born with a weak left foot. The ones with the greatest hope of survival now are Wu Chang and Pike, and the four people present must not
As a stumbling block for their escape.
Ryan looked at the two people standing there stupidly and wasting time, and his nose was crooked with anger. "Get out, you two..." After saying that, he looked at Wu Chang with tears in his eyes.
"Do you want to see me die here?" The roaring old man Ryan took out a pistol from his waist and pointed it straight at his temple, "Get out, get out now."
Wu Chang's eyes were moist, not only because this scene was very touching, but also because he was already very desperate in his heart, because he had already seen that Lord Hongfeng had revealed his true appearance behind everyone, and now he wanted to escape.
too late.
Life is never a drama. The so-called happy reunion scene where the protagonist becomes so domineering at the critical moment and saves the entire team by himself is impossible. Just like now, no matter Irene, Ryan, Boss Pan and Man Niu
No matter how powerful and touching the spirit of self-sacrifice is, it cannot change the reality that the peak of the crisis has arrived.
Impermanence knows that even if he turns around and runs now, he will not be able to run through the flood unless his current physical condition is at its peak and the power of dragon and tiger can exert its full power. Unfortunately, there are not so many ifs and what-ifs in life.
.
At that moment, everyone present saw the huge white waves behind them, and the steaming peaks were pressing towards everyone like mountains. This time everyone finally understood that everything was really over.
But at this critical moment, at the top of the sewer, several dark figures on the top of the cave more than ten meters high shot towards everyone like sharp arrows, and there was also a fierce creaking sound in the air.
"Cannibals?" Those three words were all on the minds of those present. Everyone couldn't believe it. Isn't it tragic enough to be drowned in a flood? You also have to let the cannibals kill and eat you first, and then drown?
Yes, the black shadows shooting out from the cave ceiling are cannibal warriors. These screaming humanoid monsters have three rows of sharp teeth in their mouths flashing with a cold white light. It makes people shudder just looking at them. Wu Chang thought about his shoulders.
A chill shot up from his lower back.
Human beings have a very strange characteristic, that is, they love to choose their own way of death. People always imagine many ways of death to make hypothetical comparisons. Of course, dying in bed without illness or disaster, with family members by your side, is the best option.
It's a good way to die. But ways to die like ruthless water, fire, cruel war, etc. are definitely the worst ways to die.
However, among all the ways to die, there is one that is recognized by humans as the worst, and that is to be eaten alive. This kind of scene does not need to be seen with one's own eyes, just thinking about it can already make people shudder.
It is a pity that everyone encountered such a situation today, a situation that would cause everyone present to collapse.
Caught off guard, no one chose to fight back because there was no time left. The cannibals were so fast that you had no time to draw your gun. Even though Old Ryan was holding a pistol in his hand, before he could turn the gun, he
His big carapace-covered hand had already slapped the pistol into the river.
The cannibal warriors who rushed into the crowd held the people present on their shoulders like sacks, and then rushed towards the south like a gust of wind.
What's going on? Are these cannibals going to take everyone back to their lair and enjoy it slowly? Just when the desperate Boss Pan was about to take out his gun and kill himself, Wu Chang suddenly shouted.
"Don't resist, there are weird things..." This sentence dispelled everyone's thoughts of suicide.
Ever since Irene picked Wu Chang back from the wild, miracles have always been with him. The miners even gave him a nickname called Gui Wu Chang. People who often experience miracles can easily gain the trust of others. This is the case now.
, Wu Chang’s words actually made everyone temporarily forget their fear of cannibals.
Wu Chang didn't know why he shouted this, he just felt the goodwill emanating from these cannibals from his heart. It was just a feeling, a very subtle feeling.
The cannibals who appeared this time can all be considered as warriors. Impermanence visually estimated that the combat power of the cannibal who resisted him had surpassed that of the guard captain Ye Tian. In addition, the cannibals were born with very good physical fitness. As a result, their physical skills
The speed actually exceeded Hong Feng behind him.
As they kept running, everyone watched Hong Feng coming close behind them, as if they could reach out and touch it. Hong Feng was roaring, as if unwilling to allow these humble humans to escape, but no matter how much Hong Feng increased,
Even the speed cannot touch a corner of these people's clothes.
After a while, everyone's eyes suddenly lit up. A fork appeared, and the fork appeared diagonally at the top of the sewer, reaching straight into the sky at a 45° angle. The fork was not long, and Erin could already see the dark red color outside.
clouds of lead and drifting volcanic ash.
"The ground!" Irene yelled, "We are saved..." In her excitement, she seemed to have forgotten that she was saved by cannibals, and that she might become a pile of broth in the cannibals' pot soon.
.
A group of cannibals also got excited, squeaking and jumping onto the side road, stepping on sharp rocks and rushing toward the ground. When a group of cannibals rushed out of the ground and glided in mid-air, steaming water columns actually came from the ground.
It also rushed out, forming a fountain tens of meters high along the fork in the road. Water droplets splashed in the air, forming a local heavy rain.
After everyone landed safely, a group of people stared blankly at the hot fountain in front of them and were speechless for a long time. Finally, Pike the Gopher spoke to break the silence.
"You made me think hard and never imagined that my life was actually saved by cannibals?"
At this time, the dirty old man Ryan suddenly said quietly, "In the history of human evolution, the history of animal husbandry is far longer than farming. Our ancestors knew how to catch living animals without killing them first, and then kept them in captivity to wait for them to reproduce. This way, there was no need to hunt."
I can get a steady supply of meat..."
The old man's words made everyone sitting there shudder. They gathered together and looked at the cannibals forming a circle outside. Their faces all turned pale with fear, especially after seeing the three rows of sharp teeth. Pike the Gopher was very scared.
The promising guy peed his pants.
The scene was very strange. A group of cannibals surrounded six humans with their mouths open and drooling. However, the six humans had no ability to resist at all.
