Chapter 2430 Unexpected Flood (Two Chapters in One)
Spiritual world, Zecheng.
As night falls, the sky is covered by dark clouds. Looking around, the dark clouds are constantly flashing with thunder and lightning.
The terrible sound of thunder keeps ringing, making people who are afraid of thunder tremble with fear.
A lot of rain fell from the sky, causing a lot of water in various places in the city.
There had been several heavy rains before, causing water accumulation in many places in the city.
When the rain stopped, the relevant departments in the city immediately dispatched a construction team to carry out active renovations.
Although we rushed to renovate some drainage facilities, the rainy weather came too quickly and the renovation was not completed, so the drainage situation only improved a little.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead stood in front of the window. He rested for a few hours in the afternoon and woke up full of energy.
Now he looked at the busy soldiers outside the window and thought that the official in charge of drainage work, Zecheng, was quite conscientious.
Drainage trucks were being pulled to areas where water accumulated. Although the soldiers were wearing raincoats, the rain was getting heavier and their clothes would inevitably get wet.
The city lord's palace has issued an order that large-scale flooding must not occur in some places in the city.
So the officials responsible for managing this area came to the front line and directed the busy soldiers to pump the water away from the low-lying areas.
"Everyone, please work harder..."
"Although this heavy rainstorm will continue until tomorrow, the heaviest rain will only last for a few hours."
The soldier captain at the scene encouraged his companions to increase the speed of the drainage truck.
Most of the shops on the roadside have closed their doors, but a few shops have not closed all their doors. The shopkeepers stand at the door and look at the busy soldiers, praying in their hearts that these soldiers will control the water accumulation problem.
If the water accumulation is not controlled well, the spreading water will flood some shops.
It was raining so hard at this time that it was impossible to move the goods in the store. The rainwater flooded the store, and the loss was considerable.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead looked at the busy soldiers. After a moment, the wind outside changed its direction.
Rain poured towards the window. The pig-headed man captain, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead, could only close the window in order to prevent the rain outside the window from flying into the room.
The rain hit the windows, making a crackling sound.
Fortunately, the windows are relatively tight. Even if it rains so hard, rainwater cannot enter the room through the gaps between the windows.
"Dong dong dong."
There was a knock on the door.
The pig-headed captain, who was drinking tea and had a brown birthmark on his forehead, heard the sound and immediately shouted to the person knocking on the door.
"Come in."
The door was opened, and the smiling waiter walked in.
"Sir, it's time to eat, would you like something to eat?"
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead nodded, and the waiter received the answer. He immediately left the guest room and went to the kitchen to prepare dishes.
After a while, four dishes, one soup, and a large portion of rice were placed on the table.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead enjoyed his dinner with gusto. After dinner, he asked the waiter to clear the table and prepare bath water.
After soaking in a hot bath comfortably, the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead could not help but wander.
At this time, he thought of his friends and thought that since he had been away for so many days, the camp should be further improved and everyone's life should be better than before.
…………
Thousands of miles away.
In the valley where the pig-headed camp is located, when the sun is about to set, many pig-headed warriors return to the camp.
The handsome-looking pig-headed logistics captain stood at the door to welcome his men back. Everyone gained a lot from their outing today, adding a lot of delicious ingredients to the food warehouse.
"Captain." A pig-headed soldier shouted with a smile.
"What's wrong?" The handsome-looking pig-headed logistics captain looked at him and asked.
"Look what this is?" The pig-headed warrior handed the basket to the other party with a bright smile on his face.
"This is a green straw mushroom." The handsome-looking pig-headed logistics captain said in surprise when he saw a lot of green mushrooms in the basket.
This kind of mushroom tastes like grass and is very refreshing. Whether it is fried or cooked in soup, the delicious taste is unforgettable.
"Yes, they are green straw mushrooms. I accidentally discovered them today. There are many more in that place. I will take more people to pick them tomorrow." The pig-headed warrior said with a smile.
After a brief chat, the handsome-looking pig-headed logistics captain asked his men to bring some green straw mushrooms to the chef and asked him to cook a large pot of mushroom soup tonight.
There is only the last trace of the sun left in the sky, and some stars appear in the sky.
As time goes by, when night falls completely, darkness covers the world.
The stars embedded in the sky become very conspicuous, and they are very beautiful.
The handsome-looking pig-headed logistics captain made sure that all his men returned to the camp safely and he breathed a sigh of relief.
Now he only hopes that every subordinate who leaves the camp can return safely and unharmed, and the rest is secondary.
An alluring aroma wafted from the direction of the cafeteria, a mushroom aroma that made people salivate just by smelling it.
It seems that the chef has cooked the green straw mushrooms into a pot of fragrant soup, and now this very attractive fragrance is wafting throughout the camp.
"When the time comes, take some green straw mushrooms and dry them into dried mushrooms, and give them to him to try when he comes back." The handsome-looking pig-headed logistics captain murmured to himself as he thought of his friends who had left the camp.
Then, the sound of gongs for dinner came from the direction of the canteen, and many pig-headed warriors quickly rushed towards the canteen.
After a while, a long queue formed in front of the canteen.
Every pig-head warrior received a very sumptuous dinner. They had been busy outside all day and were very tired. Now that they had such a sumptuous dinner to enjoy, everyone was very happy.
The handsome-looking pig-headed logistics captain couldn't help but smile as he looked at his men feasting on dinner.
When everyone had dinner, some people went back to the dormitory to rest, while others moved benches to enjoy the shade under the vine trellises.
In the past few days, shelves have been erected in some places within the camp, and some vines have been transplanted next to the shelves.
The vines climb and cover the erected shelf, suddenly turning it into a very good place to enjoy the shade.
Now after dinner, people will be taking a rest in these cool places.
During this period, through everyone's joint efforts, the campground has been improved better and better. If it were not for the lack of some daily necessities, the campground would now be considered a very good vacation spot.
The handsome-looking pig-headed logistics captain rested for a while after dinner, and then returned to his dormitory.
Some things that happened today have not been recorded yet. Now that he has time, he took out his notepad from the cabinet and recorded some of the things that happened today one by one.
…………
The next morning.
There was a loud sound of gongs in Zecheng. Because the sound resounded in the streets and alleys, people in a large area were woken up early.
It rained all night and didn't stop. I thought it would stop in the morning, but the intensity of the rain was completely beyond everyone's expectations.
In some places in the city, a lot of rainwater has accumulated due to rain, causing floods.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead opened his eyes. He stood up and went to the window to open it.
It was still raining outside, and a lot of rainwater accumulated on the road, causing floods that flooded some houses.
At this moment, the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead looked towards the low-lying area and found someone using a small boat to transport things.
These small boats transport some salvageable items in stores to places without water, and then specialized people transport the items to warehouses.
It turned out to be like this one night. The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead was very surprised when he saw it.
Yesterday, he saw soldiers carrying out rescue operations and draining rainwater outside the city. He thought that with the efforts of these soldiers, floods and other disasters would not happen.
"Dong dong dong."
There was a knock on the bedroom door, and the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead came to the door and opened it.
It was the waiter, and he said with a serious expression, "Sir, there is a flood outside now, and the farmers who deliver fresh vegetables to us cannot come to us today..."
After listening to the waiter's story, the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead knew that it was impossible to eat some fresh vegetables today, so he said nonchalantly.
"It doesn't matter, just eat some."
The waiter turned around and left. The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead closed the door and returned to the window to continue looking out.
It's still raining, but it's less intense than yesterday.
The rainwater fell along the eaves and fell to the ground. The place where the flood occurred was because it was in a low-lying area, and the rainwater continued to collect.
There are still soldiers on site working to provide emergency relief, but as long as the rain doesn't stop, they won't be able to reverse the situation.
At this stage, some affected residents can only be moved to other places.
Some people brought a lot of things with them. Although they were scolded by the soldiers for taking less things, these were their few possessions and they were reluctant to part with them.
"well……"
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead looked at the place where the flood occurred in the distance and sighed.
…………
outside the city.
There was a forest a few kilometers away from the city wall. Heavy rain fell from the sky. The branches blocked the rain, and the crackling sound continued.
A figure wearing a white mask stood under a big tree and looked towards Zecheng in the distance. There were several companions beside him.
One of the figures wearing a black mask said, "Brother, this rain is really heavy. There should be floods in many places in the world."
The figure wearing a white mask said, "I originally wanted to find an opportunity to go to the city, but now that this situation has happened, it has given us a chance."
The figure wearing a black mask said, "This is God helping us."
The two people discussed it and decided to enter the city after it got dark.
These people were rebels, and they had been chased and intercepted by soldiers in the city and suffered heavy losses.
At that time, I said I wanted to take revenge, but I never found the opportunity.
Now it is raining continuously, there is a flood in the city, and the soldiers are in a hurry. It is a good time to enter the city for revenge.
The soldiers on the city wall looked ugly, because it had been raining since yesterday, and many people were made cold by the weather.
It was originally time to change shifts. Because various places in the city needed disaster relief, manpower had been redeployed, so many people had been standing guard since yesterday.
The soldiers all had some complaints in their hearts, but the order had been issued and no one dared to resist.
The hazy rain curtain blocked the view. Because it had been raining, there was plenty of water vapor, and there was a lot of fog in many places around.
Especially in lakes, a lot of water mist fills the air, making the situation on the lake surface completely unclear.
At this time, a strange beast emerged from the water and secretly observed the location of the city. It was difficult for the soldiers standing on the city wall to detect it.
There were almost no people leaving the city this morning, but there were quite a few convoys entering the city.
These convoys have come all the way, and it is very dangerous to stay outside the city on rainy days like this.
Therefore, after dawn, the city gate opened, and the motorcade immediately wanted to enter the city to take shelter from the rain.
However, after entering the city, the convoy members discovered that there were floods in many places in the city. It was not easy for them to successfully reach the inn they booked in advance.
"hateful."
"This weather is really torturous!"
"What do we do now?"
"What else can we do? We can only take a long way to the inn we booked before."
Some convoy stewards discussed it and then started moving along the edge of the city wall.
The places where the city walls are built are located on higher ground, so even if it rains so heavily, the area near the city walls will not be flooded.
The convoys entering the city move along the edge of the city wall, which can avoid floods very well.
As the time approached noon, the rain, which had become lighter, began to intensify.
And the dark clouds in the sky began to thunder, and the thunder became louder and louder.
A bright silver-white electric light flashed through, illuminating the dark area at once.
Some people who had been praying for clear weather were very disappointed when they saw that the weather had turned bad again.
Seeing that the rain was about to get heavier again, the soldier who was using equipment to drain water cursed loudly.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead finished his lunch and stood in front of the window looking outside.
He was speechless when he saw that the weather was getting worse again.
I originally thought that the rain would lighten up after lunch, but in this weather, it seems impossible.
Yesterday, because of the rain, the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead did not accept the mission. It rained continuously for most of the day, and it may rain even more in the afternoon, so there is no need to think about the mission.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead had planned to make money one after another due to the arrival of the rainy season. Now he has to extend the time to complete the plan by a few more days.
