Chapter 42 The Flood

Chapter 42 Flood

Author: Name is occupied

Chapter 42 Flood

Many things happen without much warning in advance.

This should have been just an ordinary day in the town of Changhebin. Store owners opened their doors early and laid out goods to welcome customers. People in the grocery store talked about their daily lives of firewood, rice, oil and salt. Workers came to the factory workshop early to work, children

Their crisp reading sounds echoed in the campus.

Until this evening.

In the afternoon, the clouds suddenly became dense, the water vapor was abnormally dense, and the lightning and thunder made people a little uneasy. The dam in Dachanghebin Town is like a silent stone dragon, built against the mountain, and has blocked the raging water for decades.

The river protects the people.

A thousand-mile embankment breaks down in an ant nest.

No one knows what the original ant nest was, but with a shocking loud noise, the situation rushed out of control in an instant. The river was like a beast trapped in an iron cage, bitten by decades of

Finally, a gap was opened. Tons of river water surged out, breaking through the defense line of the dam, and rushed towards the town below violently and powerfully.

The flood immediately occupied the block, and street lamps and telephone poles were knocked down. The tall houses were dark, and through the remaining lights, the raging water could be seen violently rushing along the street, and the rolling waves were heading toward 30 to 50% of the population.

The crowd swooped.

"Come up quickly!"

A father climbed onto the roof and handed his hand to his child below.

The first floor of this small house has been occupied by floods. Furniture and electrical appliances were carried by the water, broke through the doors and windows, and merged into the large current to crash on the street.

My mother was the last one to climb onto the roof. My parents, a pair of siblings, and a family of four all came here. The floodwater had already reached the stairwell and was almost reaching the second floor.

"It's okay, it'll be okay."

The mother held the two children in her arms, as if she was afraid that they would be swept away by the flood if she let go.

"The water can't rise this high. Someone will come to rescue us soon, and everything will be fine soon."

She soon realized that her voice was shaking as she spoke.

My father didn't say anything, but he stood on the edge of the house and looked far away, his eyebrows almost knitted together.

Heavy rain fell in the sky, making the situation even worse. Brontosaurus twisted in the sky, and the hurricane combined with water pressure uprooted trees. Under such weather, he could not remain optimistic about the arrival of rescue.

Their situation is getting worse and worse. Changheside Town is like a sink with blocked pipes, and the faucet is filling it with water. The water demon keeps roaring under their feet, rising inch by inch, and after a while

It has already covered the bed on the second floor.

The debris of trees and vehicles floated around them, crashing into the old houses mercilessly. This rooftop was their only habitat, an orphaned island in the storm, and the bottom of the island was invisible.

The bottom of hell.

"It's going to be okay. It's going to be okay."

The mother hugged the two children tightly, but her voice became smaller and smaller. The fear called despair spread, and she didn't know whether it was tears or the heavy rain that blurred her vision.

Even the two children were vaguely aware of the fate that awaited them.

The only thing that can save them now is a miracle.

Then a miracle happened.

Dark blue, high above, the miracle of flying red flags.

Like an oasis in the desert, a spark suddenly bursts out in the darkness, making people unable to help but stretch out their praying hands towards that figure.

He lowered his height with a reassuring smile on his face. The heavy rain and storm hit him, but they could not shake him even a little bit.

"Anyone want a lift?" he asked with a smile.

"."

Placing the family of four in a safe camp away from the floods, Jiang Bei waved to everyone's complicated expressions and sped off.

"Those were the last ones just now?"

"Yes." Xiao Qi replied.

"Very good, now we are left with some water control issues. Do you have any suggestions?"

"Well, if it were me, I would just blow my breath and freeze the river."

"But I can't."

Although Jiang Bei had tried to blow back the explosion flames with one breath before, it was purely based on his large lung capacity and blowing hard enough. To put it bluntly, it was too powerful to fly away. It was not Superman's classic "freeze breathing" skill. He had not yet learned to exhale.

With icing properties.

"Well, I know that too." Xiao Qi said seriously, "So it seems you have to express yourself freely."

Jiangbei: "."

The central control team at Changhebin Dam has almost gone crazy.

The moment the alarm bell rang, everyone's nerves tensed up like a conditioned reflex. The temperature and pressure on the screen climbed crazily, almost synchronizing with the blood pressure of the controllers.

At the moment of loss of control, the wall of the control room cracked. Water poured down from the cracks in the ceiling, like a raging waterfall from the sky, and every drop of water contained a huge momentum.

Some people pieced together waterproof suits to block the cracks, and more people were trying to control the huge machines to save the situation. The equipment in the control room was soaked in the rising river water, and the staff were huddled together.

"Block the cracks and make sure no more water comes in!" The supervisor commanded and dispatched on the dam. "Xiao Wang, I want the deformation of the dam body. Give me the monitoring data from the centralized control center. I will give you the monitoring data of Pump Room No. 4."

The floodgates are closed. First we have to stop the expansion. We have to."

He glanced out the window, opened his mouth, and was speechless for a moment.

".Did anyone see that?"

Everyone in the excitement stopped involuntarily and turned to follow his gaze.

Then I saw that figure.

With a blue figure and a red cloak, in just half a month, he has become a well-known figure in this world.

"Is that Superman!?" someone asked in surprise.

"I've seen the video. He's very strong, but that shouldn't be helpful in this situation, right?"

Manpower is sometimes poor, and no matter how powerful you are, you can't do anything in the face of natural disasters.

Could it be that he could knock back the flood with one punch?

"What is he doing there?"

"."

X-sight, a new skill that Jiangbei has just unlocked. Of course, although it is called that, it is not the same as the medical X-ray that people usually mention.

This trick is named just because it has a similar penetration effect to X-ray, but it is far more powerful and real. And it is not limited to perspective, but also suitable for night vision function, infrared imaging, structural scanning, etc.

Function.

For example, Jiangbei is now applying structure scanning.

The enhanced vision helped him scan and analyze the overall structure of the mountain next to the river, and he accurately marked all the scanned suitable strike points in the built-in light curtain.

So those people saw Superman floating in the heavy rain for a while, looking around as if he was looking for something. Then he suddenly flew down, not knowing what kind of plane he was trying to get into.

"This is definitely what Superman did in the old movies."

Jiang Bei fell to the side of the mountain and raised his fist.

"The next step is to control your strength."

boom!!!

One punch——

——Landslide and ground cracking.

Everyone in the control room suddenly had expressions on their faces.

It was like seeing a miracle.
