Chapter 2452 Crazy thunderstorm clouds (two chapters in one)
The dried meat smoked with fireworks has not been eaten yet, so now take it out of the backpack.
The pig-headed captain, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead, found a few suitable branches, skewered the smoked dried meat, and roasted it next to the fire.
Not long after, a very delicious smell of barbecue began to float in the spacious cave.
The grease dripped and fell into the fire, causing the flames to rise instantly.
The pig-headed captain, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead, was not in a hurry to eat these barbecued meats right away, but waited patiently for them to be roasted until they were the most fragrant.
"call……"
Open your mouth and blow air to cool down the steaming barbecue.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead enjoyed the barbecued meat with relish. After eating some barbecued meat, he took out some wild fruits from his backpack.
Just eating barbecued jerky is still very greasy, and adding wild fruits to relieve the greasiness can whet your appetite.
There was a wilderness all around, and there was no other sound except the sound of wind and rain.
The cave where the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead is located is relatively remote. If you don't search carefully, you won't be able to find him at all.
In terms of safety, this cave is very satisfactory.
It's just that it's too far from the city. When the rain stops, it will take a long time to go to the city gate to see if it's open.
If the city gate is open, you can go in directly and never come back. If it is not open, you have nowhere to go and can only come back.
It takes a lot of time to go back and forth. If there was a choice, the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead would most likely not choose such a particularly time-consuming cave.
After a while, the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead ate a lot of barbecued meat and wild fruits to fill his stomach, and burped with great satisfaction.
"Boom."
Thunder exploded.
The terrible thunder was deafening.
It rains and thunders very frequently during this period. Logically speaking, you won’t be startled by the sound of thunder.
However, the sound of thunder this time was a little unusual. The pig-headed man captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead raised his eyebrows after hearing this. He immediately stood up and left the bonfire, came to the entrance of the cave, and looked into the distance.
A hazy curtain of rain obscured the view, and a steady gust of wind blew away the rain falling from the sky.
The pig-headed captain, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead, squinted his eyes and looked at the sky, only to see an area of dark clouds where thunder and lightning flashed frequently.
Silver-white electric light illuminated the sky, and most areas were illuminated.
Thunder should be random, but now it is concentrated in a certain area.
This unusual sight is not a good thing.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead looked at the cloudy sky, especially the small area with constant thunder and lightning, and suddenly had some bad thoughts in his mind.
He really hoped that the bad idea he had was wrong, but the fact was that it happened anyway.
A small area where thunder and lightning appeared began to move, and the sound of thunder and lightning wherever it passed made people's ears hurt.
“I’ve heard people talk about thunderstorm clouds before, but I didn’t expect to see them here.”
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead looked at the moving clouds and murmured to himself. He heard an old man mention this sight many years ago.
Because the conditions for the formation of thunderstorm clouds are unknown and they are difficult to encounter, many people are unaware of this terrifying natural phenomenon.
According to the old man who had seen thunderstorm clouds, when thunderstorm clouds appear, you should quickly find a safe place to hide.
Never get close to thunderstorm clouds, because then your probability of being struck by lightning will increase exponentially.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead is now hiding in a cave, so he doesn't have to worry about thunderstorms harming him.
He stood at the entrance of the cave and observed the moving thunderstorm clouds. Not long after, he saw some lightning striking the big trees on the ground.
Although it is raining heavily now, many big trees are soaked by the rain.
But in the face of terrible thunder and lightning, as long as it is struck, no matter how wet the tree is from the rain, it will still be ignited by one blow.
The blazing fire was very conspicuous. After being hit by lightning, a hundred-meter-high tree suddenly turned into a torch, illuminating a large area around it.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead looked at the raging thunderstorm clouds and recalled what the old man said many years ago. He didn't take it seriously at the time. But now that he saw it with his own eyes, he realized that the other party was still conservative.
"Boom..."
The terrible thunderstorm clouds unleashed thunder and lightning, and wherever they passed, many plants suffered.
If there hadn't been a group of alien beasts attacking Zecheng here before, causing the creatures living in this area to flee their homes and seek refuge in safe places.
When thunderstorm clouds appear at this time, it’s not just plants that suffer.
Thinking about it, those creatures who escaped their homes first and sought safety were quite lucky.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead stood at the entrance of the cave, observing the thunderstorm clouds moving in the distance, and marveled at the astonishing lethality of the thunderstorm clouds.
Suddenly, his expression changed.
The moving thunderstorm cloud changed its direction and moved closer to the cave where the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead was.
"Oops."
"It's coming."
The pig-headed captain, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead, was panicked for a while, and then he realized that he was hiding in the cave.
There were many tall trees around, and the thunder and lightning from the thunderstorm clouds could not reach him.
After thinking about this matter, the anxious pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead regained his composure.
Of course, even if such a terrifying thunderstorm cloud does not hit you, the noise caused by hitting the trees not far away is still very scary.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead felt uneasy. Looking at the thunderstorm clouds that were approaching his place, he thought about it and decided to make something to deal with it.
He quickly came to the cave, bent down, opened his backpack, and took out two balls of cotton wool.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead responded very simply. He rubbed two balls of cotton wool together and made a simple earplug.
You won't be struck by lightning if you hide in a cave, but the thunder from thunderstorm clouds is deafening and makes your ears hurt.
Now plug the ears with two balls of cotton wool, which can greatly reduce the discomfort of the ears.
Next, the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead stared intently at the thunderstorm clouds that were getting closer.
About half an hour later, the thunderstorm cloud arrived dozens of meters away.
Looking down at the ground from a high altitude, you can see a particularly dark cloud approaching the mountain.
The cave of the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead was at the foot of the mountain. Thunderstorm clouds came to the mountain area and immediately began to show their power.
"Boom..."
Terrible thunder and lightning shot out from the clouds and struck the tall trees on the mountain.
Big trees one after another were struck by lightning and then burned.
Some large trees burned for a while and were quickly extinguished by the heavy downpour.
However, the thunderstorm clouds emitted lightning very frequently. Not long after it was extinguished, the big tree was struck by lightning again, and then burned again.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead now does not dare to stay at the entrance of the cave. He hides inside the cave and waits for the thunderstorm clouds to leave.
Deafening thunder enveloped the mountain and a large area around it. Fortunately, the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead had made preparations beforehand and plugged his ears with cotton wool.
Otherwise, the movement caused by the current thunderstorm clouds is likely to cause damage to the ears.
By then, the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead will lose his hearing and must find a specialized doctor for treatment.
"Rumble..."
The terrible thunderstorm cloud continues, and when it comes to this mountainous area, it somehow doesn't leave.
At first, the pig-headed captain, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead, did not notice this situation. It was not until he felt that the thunder continued for a long time that he realized something was wrong.
Because the frequency of thunder and lightning from thunderstorm clouds is too high, it is unrealistic to go to the entrance of the cave to check.
Therefore, even if the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead sensed something was wrong, he could only stay in the cave and wait patiently for the thunderstorm clouds to leave.
"Rumble..."
The terrible thunder kept ringing, as if it would never end.
Although the patience of the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead is gradually exhausted, he currently has no way to solve the current predicament.
I don't know how much time passed, but the pig-headed captain, who was lying next to the bonfire with a brown birthmark on his forehead, noticed that the thunder outside had become smaller.
This subtle change immediately caught his attention, and he quickly got up from the ground and tentatively walked a short distance toward the entrance of the cave.
"Are the thunderstorm clouds leaving?"
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead thought to himself that if the thunderstorm cloud really left, the changes would be huge.
The thunder outside has become smaller now, but the reduction is not significant.
But one thing that makes people happy is that the location of the cave is not so easy to be struck by lightning.
The pig-headed captain, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead, finally came to the entrance of the cave after some testing.
Looking towards the sky in the distance, I did not see the terrifying thunderstorm clouds that were constantly flashing with thunder and lightning where the thunderstorm clouds originally were.
He turned his head and looked around, trying to see where the thunderstorm clouds had gone.
A few seconds later, he discovered that the terrible thunderstorm cloud had deviated from its direction and was moving towards Zecheng's location.
"this……"
When the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead noticed this, the smile on his face froze.
If such a terrible thunderstorm cloud enters the city, assuming that there are generally ordinary people in the city, the scene will be extremely tragic.
"hateful."
"The people in the city are going to suffer now."
"Go and inform them."
"Uh... I can't protect myself now, how can I notify them?"
"And with my speed, even if I go to notify them now, it's too late."
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead showed an anxious expression. After thinking for a few seconds, he found that there was nothing he could do, and his anxious mood disappeared a lot.
"well……"
There was a sigh in the cave.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead looked at the moving thunderstorm clouds and sighed several times. Then he withdrew his gaze, returned to the cave, and sat down by the bonfire.
Faced with this powerless situation, all we can do is turn a blind eye.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead hoped that the soldiers in the city would detect the thunderstorm cloud in advance and take some measures.
…………
Time flies by like a white horse.
The next morning.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead opened his eyes and stared at the wall in a daze for half a minute. Then he got up from the ground with his right hand on the ground.
The rain outside stopped.
It rained for more than two days this time, and finally it stopped raining.
Without the cover of dark clouds, the sun poured onto the earth, dissipating heat to its fullest, hoping to help the earth dry out again.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead now had one thing in mind that he wanted to do immediately. He ate breakfast quickly and then left the cave.
Because it had been raining for a long time, many places on the ground were wet, and a lot of mud was soaked in while walking.
The pig-headed man captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead didn't pay much attention to the mud and water on his body, and ran faster towards where Zecheng was.
Yesterday, the thunderstorm cloud was raging, and it was discovered that its final direction was drifting towards the location of Zecheng.
Since we couldn't catch up, we had to wait until afterward to see what damage it had done to that city.
The cave is far away from the city, and the ground is muddy, so the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead will have to spend a lot of time even if he wants to travel.
He climbed over several hills, passed through woods after woods, and finally saw the towering walls of the city.
The whole city is lying on the ground, looking very majestic.
It took the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead more than an hour to finally see the city wall.
I thought that thunderstorm clouds passing by this city would cause great damage to the city.
The pig-headed captain, who now had a brown birthmark on his forehead, stood and observed from a distance, and found that the city wall was not damaged at all.
"strangeness."
"The city wall is not damaged. Could it be that the terrible thunderstorm cloud has been resolved?"
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead guessed that there was some way to deal with the thunderstorms in the city. This idea did not last long.
Because thunderstorm clouds are rare and will not be encountered for decades, under normal circumstances, no city will prepare to deal with such natural disasters.
The pig-headed captain, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead, was full of doubts. Now he really wanted to find a few residents in the city to ask what happened.
However, the city gate is still closed and no outsiders are allowed to enter, so we can only learn about the situation after the city gate is opened.
