Chapter 134 The Great Flood Sweeps the Giant Wood Museum
No matter what Marin does, I don't want to stay under the same roof with him.
He sent Fang Xing here just to continue to control me and use me to open up the situation in Dulong Bingzhu Temple.
For a moment, I felt relaxed all over. The Antique Investigation Bureau was over, and the pressure from Marin was over. The sky was high and the sea was wide, allowing me to roam.
"The Yin-Yang doll matter is over with me. Since I am no longer an investigator of the Antiques Investigation Bureau, so many unsolved mysteries in the world have nothing to do with me -" I thought of the plane landing in Uttar Pradesh.
On that day, I was full of curiosity about the Yin-Yang Doll case, full of confidence in the future, no doubt about my ability, and full confidence in finding Qin Chengpei.
Now, everything has come to an end and can be over.
I locked myself in the room, turned off my phone, stretched out, and slept for a long time without any worries.
When I woke up, it was already twenty-four hours later
When the phone was turned on, there were a dozen missed calls, half from Marin and half from a former meteorologist friend.
I called back, and the meteorologist's tone was very urgent: "Ye Kai, I know you are at the Giant Tree Museum now. Leave quickly. In the next three days, there will be special environmental changes. A strange phenomenon occurred under the largest reservoir in Uttar Pradesh.
Turmoil. Once the reservoir bursts, it will sweep downstream and flood the giant tree museum without a trace. Remember my words, hurry up and don’t delay. The probability of this happening is 80%. The crust of the Eurasian plate is undulating.
, causing a magma blowout, no one can resist it, natural disasters and man-made disasters are about to break out, go quickly, go quickly——"
I was shocked. This friend rarely joked, was very responsible for every word he said, and would never spread rumors.
"Thank you, but I have left the Giant Wood Museum now and am at Dulong Bingzhu Temple in the Snow Mountains. Thank you for reminding me, I will notify -"
The other party immediately interrupted me: "No, no, no, don't notify anyone. At this stage, if we are not 100% sure, we don't dare to release any news or spread rumors. I'm just relieved that you're fine. Don't worry about anything."
People, do you understand? I don’t want to suddenly cause panic among regional groups, then my personal fate will be in trouble.”
I immediately woke up. The other person was so anxious to call me because he regarded me as a friend.
"Understood, I won't tell anyone." I replied firmly.
"Sorry Ye Kai, we are friends, so we can notify you in advance. Even if it doesn't come true, it will only alarm you. I am very selfish. Even if I know some inside information, I dare not spread it. Okay, our conversation has ended
Until now, don’t tell the third person.”
During the phone call, he was breathing heavily the whole time, and he must be quite nervous.
Once such devastating news spreads, it will definitely trigger huge turmoil in Uttar Pradesh.
The reservoir is called Agamado and is located in the southwest of Uttar Pradesh. The downstream is the Giant Tree Museum.
As long as it is not a flood season, it will not suddenly burst because its embankment is strong enough and is a strategic reservoir in Uttar Pradesh. Even if it is bombed, it can still support it for a while.
Now, Marin is in the Giant Tree Museum. If the reservoir breaks the dam, he will be finished.
I paced back and forth, unable to decide whether to reveal the news to Marin.
There is no enmity between us, it's just a minor conflict at work. Then, if he dies in the flood, I can get rid of the Antiques Investigation Bureau without any loss.
I struggled repeatedly between informing and not informing. Perhaps I could use the hand of God to get rid of Marin, along with his cronies. Since I know that he is the biggest careerist, my choice is to let this matter go.
Freedom happens.
The reason why I'm so confused is because doing this violates my moral bottom line.
When I know that a major event has happened, I must inform all my friends so that they can avoid disaster.
At this critical node, my choice will affect the rest of my life. If there is a moral stain, it will never be made up for.
After a long period of thinking, I decided to call Marin and tell him what was about to happen, and let him make the final decision.
If he believes it, he will leave Uttar Pradesh. If he doesn't believe it, he can still live there and wait for God's decision.
I dialed Ma Lin reluctantly, and his attitude was very perfunctory: "Ye Kai, what's important? I just held an international conference, and the online video was only halfway through, so I can only give you a
I have a few minutes, if you have anything to say, please tell me."
I told him calmly: "A friend has sent news that an accident is likely to occur at the reservoir. The dam will break and the giant wood museum will be flooded. If you believe this news, prepare to leave and protect yourself. If you don't believe it -"
Before I finished speaking, Ma Lin laughed loudly: "Ye Kai, are you still awake? How could you say such ridiculous things? That reservoir is the most important strategic reservoir in Uttar Pradesh. How could it possibly break? It's simply
It’s a fantasy! You’d better not waste my precious time, that’s it!”
Marin hung up the phone directly, without any courtesy, and didn't take me seriously at all.
I breathed a sigh of relief. I had done what I wanted to do, so I didn’t need to feel sorry for it. If a dam breach really occurred in the reservoir, then everything I had to do would be done, and I would be able to live up to my conscience in the future.
Every hour that followed, I felt extremely uncomfortable. I opened all communication software and waited for news from Uttar Pradesh.
I believe my friend, if he is not sure, he will not notify me and cause me to panic, but fortunately I have left the Giant Wood Museum and come to Dulong Bingzhu Temple, then my safety can be guaranteed, and other people are not under his control
Within the scope of concern.
Fang Xing knocked on the door several times, but was rejected by me. I don't want to see her now, and I feel a little upset, but I can't say it clearly.
At eleven o'clock in the evening, messages suddenly popped up on several communication software. A major flood occurred in Uttar Pradesh. The water spread for 20 kilometers. The entire forest area where the Giant Tree Museum is located has been immersed in floods, because this happened late at night.
, no one effectively escaped, which means that at least one hundred to five hundred people were lost in the flood, including all the personnel of the Giant Wood Museum.
This thing really happened, but I felt relieved because I resisted the flaws in my moral character and told Marin. He didn't believe it and there was nothing he could do about it. I had done my best to be benevolent and righteous.
Fang Xing knocked on my door hard, I opened the door slowly, and she rushed in: "Ye Kai, the Giant Wood Museum has been flooded, Marin and the others are all finished, including the Yin-Yang doll... it has become a waste.
, all our past efforts are over, all gone, and Marin died, the Giant Wood Museum finally closed, and we all became ownerless wandering souls..."
She was already incoherent and had completely forgotten the threat Marin had brought to me before, as well as her choice.
She and Marin became comrades in arms and abandoned me, but now that Marin is dead, she can only join forces with me and has no future.
I helped her sit down on a chair, poured her a glass of water, and then gently patted her back to calm her down.
On the laptop, several communication software windows popped up at the same time. All parts of the world felt the impact of the flood. After all, all water conservancy experts knew that if it were not for the changes in the crust below the reservoir, the reservoir would have survived for a hundred years safely.
Years ago, but now the Eurasian continental plates are colliding, who knows where the chain reaction will spread? It is even possible that the Snowy Mountains are unstable, and the probability of avalanches or even landslides has greatly increased.
Fang Xing calmed down and felt very ashamed: "Ye Kai, I shouldn't actually report this news to you. There is no longer any relationship between you and Marin. But in the panic just now, I can only discuss it with you. Really
I'm sorry, I made the wrong choice, and God letting Marin perish may be another kind of enlightenment. I hope you can forgive me for the choice I made at that time."
I will definitely not make it difficult for her. No matter what choice Fang Xing makes, it is her own absolute freedom.
We watched the satellite maps sent by various countries together. The floods were astonishing and had already submerged nearly one hundred square kilometers.
The water capacity of the reservoir is not that much at all, but the flood is so fierce that it is like a hole has been opened in the earth, and the flood is pouring back and pouring out continuously from the ground, making it unbearable for humans.
None of us are experts in geology and water conservancy, but we still feel shuddering when we see the amazing water potential from the satellite map.
"Ye Kai, the most regrettable thing is that the Yin and Yang dolls fell into the flood. We spent so much effort to save the two dolls. Maybe this is the only gift the forest gave us. It would be a pity if they had been transported away earlier.
, whether it is transported to the headquarters of the Antique Investigation Bureau or other museums, this kind of bad luck will be avoided. Life is impermanent, and this time I really realized it."
The result of the incident was disheartening. Uttar Pradesh suffered huge losses. No one alive at the Giant Wood Museum escaped, and all contact was lost.
Fang Xing was still frightened: "Ye Kai, if we return from the Snowy Mountains, we may not be able to escape this disaster if we are in the Giant Wood Museum now. The fortune teller said that I would have a bad luck this year, but he was wrong. I am lucky enough to come here to hide.
After a calamity..."
I couldn't explain to Fang Xing clearly what constitutes luck and misfortune, nor did I say that I had informed Marin that it was too late. It would not have saved those people's lives, nor would I have given us the Yin-Yang dolls.
return.
This change caused Fang Xing and I to form a passive alliance. We no longer expected to achieve greater achievements, but only wanted to be safe and sound, and to leave Uttar Pradesh.
It was only then that Fang Xing revealed the truth to me. She and Marin had done in-depth research. The Antique Investigation Bureau had a perfect backup that had not yet been activated. This plan was called "Atlantis". As long as the Bureau
When the main body is attacked, Atlantis is automatically activated and completely handed over to another group of people to operate. It has nothing to do with the current people and will not have any intersection.
In other words, in a few years, there will be an Antique Investigation Bureau in the world, and it will continue to operate according to the original operating model. We can continue to join, or we can completely end our career as investigators.
