Everyone rode kayaks and slowly approached the old man.
But after a while, when everyone arrived in front of the old house, no matter how they shouted, the old man on the roof did not respond.
At this moment, the water has flooded the old house, and the door is also soaked in the flood.
It seems impossible to enter the house to save people.
Everyone is anxious, but now it seems that the only way to save the old man is to rely on the help of ropes.
"Old man, are you still there? Can you please give me a reply?" Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei called loudly, but did not receive any response.
Lu Weiwei suddenly became anxious: "What's going on with this old man? We braved the storm and the risk of falling into the flood at any time to save him, but he is so indifferent?"
"Maybe the noise is too loud." Gu Chen glanced at the other kayak next to him and said to one of the police academy cadets holding a loudspeaker: "Drive the kayak farther away and go to the other side of the kayak.
He shouted."
"Okay, Gu team." The young police officer obeyed and, together with his companions, gradually moved the kayak away from the edge of the house.
But when everyone came to the viewing angle again, the old man who had appeared on the roof before disappeared instantly.
"what happened?"
"That person is missing?"
"Weren't you still here just now?"
"What the hell? Was there no one on the roof just now?"
"No, everyone saw it just now."
…
Gu Chen also heard everyone talking there, and out of curiosity, he asked: "Did you see it over there?"
Several student police officers hesitated for a moment, then the one holding a loudspeaker said in confusion: "Gu team, there is no one on the roof."
"No one?" Gu Chen frowned: "That's impossible. Everyone saw us just now, wearing bamboo hats and raincoats. How could there be no one? Take a closer look."
"No matter how carefully I look, there's no one there." The school policeman looked up and said helplessly.
At this moment, everyone was confused.
Do you feel like something is wrong?
Without thinking too much, Gu Chen directly controlled the kayak and came to a visible range.
But when Gu Chen looked at the roof again, there was no one in the direction of the roof.
"Did he fall into the water?" Gu Chen's face froze and he quickly ordered: "Everyone, look around the old house to see if anyone has fallen into the water."
"Okay." Everyone received the order and quickly launched a search operation.
Several kayaks circled around the old house and searched three times.
Then, based on the water flow conditions, we started investigating downstream, but still found no trace.
When everyone drove the kayak again and arrived at this location, Gu Chen frowned and stretched out his hand directly: "Bring me the rope."
"Junior Brother Gu, what are you going to do?" Lu Weiwei suddenly became nervous when she heard this.
Gu Chen said: "I want to climb up to see the situation and see if the old man is still up there."
"But this old house doesn't look strong." Lu Weiwei still wanted to stop Gu Chen.
Since this is an old house, the roof structure still maintains the ancient charm and is made of colorful tiles.
Gu Chen wanted to climb up to find out what was going on, but Lu Weiwei was worried that Gu Chen would step on the air and fall.
But when he couldn't find the old man, Gu Chen couldn't feel relieved and directly replied: "My climbing skills were always the first in the school when I was in the police academy. Don't worry about that."
Seeing that Lu Weiwei still held the rope and refused to let go, Gu Chen just smiled faintly and pulled it over.
Then use the slip knot lock to expand the circle mouth.
Due to the rising water, everyone was actually not very far from the roof.
Gu Chen just threw it easily and tied the slipknot rope around a corner of the old house.
Pulling the rope, Gu Chen predicted the bearing capacity of the house, directly relied on the wall of the old house, kicked his legs, and quickly climbed up. His legs quickly kicked off the rubble of the eaves.
Due to the impact of gravity, several pieces of rubble fell off instantly and fell into the water.
"Junior Brother Gu, be careful." Lu Weiwei called out nervously.
Everyone was tense.
But with a dexterous climb, Gu Chen climbed up to the roof in an instant, and everyone was delighted.
"Captain Gu is indeed a master of climbing."
"Yes, you can climb up at this angle, Niu."
"I definitely wouldn't be able to get up there."
Everyone's flattery continued, but Gu Chen didn't take it to heart.
The first time he arrived at the roof, he walked cautiously towards the direction where the old man was sitting cross-legged just now.
But when Gu Chen arrived at the rooftop, there was no trace of the old man around, not even the shadow of the coir raincoat or bamboo hat.
"Where have they gone?" Gu Chen looked around, took a deep breath, and tried to calm down.
The heavy rain continues and the strong winds are still raging.
At this moment, Gu Chen didn't care too much and started looking for clues on the top of the house.
It can be seen from the roof of this old house that it is surrounded by water.
If the old man had not fallen into the water, he would have stayed in the old house.
But if the old man accidentally falls into the water, the old man will float on top along with the current.
But just now, it only took about ten seconds from when everyone found the old man to when he disappeared.
And everyone conducted a detailed search of the surrounding area, but no trace of the old man was found.
Therefore, Gu Chen concluded that this old man should still be in the old house.
"But how did he get to the roof?" Gu Chen thought about it, but he didn't quite understand.
But while Gu Chen was looking for clues, he discovered that there was a skylight on the roof of the old house.
Gu Chen walked in the direction of the skylight, opened it, and found that underneath the skylight was an attic structure, but there was no ladder to climb it.
Gu Chen didn't think much, he just lay down on the sky window, stuck his head into the attic, and shouted loudly: "Is there anyone? Is there anyone inside? We are from the rescue team of Furong Branch. If there is anyone, please reply."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! After the words fell, Gu Chen pricked up his ears and listened quietly.
Due to the violent storm outside, there was a lot of noise.
And if you shout outside, it may be difficult for people inside the house to hear you clearly.
But Gu Chen chose to stick his head into the attic and shout, but there was still no response from inside the room.
"Strange, is there really no one there?" Gu Chen was lying behind the skylight, hesitating for a moment.
He casually turned on the flashlight of his FAST tactical helmet and searched the room.
Although the light in the attic was dim, Gu Chen could still see everything clearly with the help of a tactical flashlight, but there seemed to be no trace at all.
"That's strange. Could it be that what everyone just saw was an illusion?" Gu Chen felt a little disappointed when he thought that there was no one inside or outside the house.
You know, an old man who needs help has just been discovered, but he suddenly disappeared.
It felt like the first step in the rescue was a setback.
Gu Chen was a little disappointed, but he didn't give up.
At this moment, colleagues started shouting outside.
Gu Chen also stuck his head out and carefully moved to the edge of the roof.
"Junior Brother Gu, how are you? Have you found the old man?" Lu Weiwei's pretty face was constantly wet by the heavy rain, but she still raised her head and shouted.
Gu Chen shook his head and responded: "No trace of the old man was found, but there is a skylight on the roof and an attic below. I want to go in and take a look, but the rope is not long enough. Please help me connect another one."
"Then please pay attention to your safety." Lu Weiwei frowned slightly. Seeing the violent storm, the kayak was teetering in the water.
But Gu Chen still found no trace of the old man.
Everyone is trapped in anxiety.
A school police officer took out the rope and fastened it to the rope that Gu Chen had climbed before. Then he waved to Gu Chen and said: "Gu team, the rope has been fastened for you."
"Okay." Gu Chen pulled the rope he came up with, kept pulling it up, and then kept pulling the rope towards the skylight.
Throw the end of the rope directly off the skylight.
The rope stopped instantly one meter away from the attic floor.
This was enough for Gu Chen.
Gu Chen pulled the rope, confirmed the tension, and then slowly climbed toward the attic along the rope.
The moment I landed, I suddenly felt the smell of the attic.
At this moment, a musty smell hit my face.
Gu Chen fanned himself with his hand, then put on his mask and began to search the attic using the tactical flashlight on the FAST tactical helmet.
However, apart from some piled debris, nothing unusual was found in the attic.
Gu Chen came to the edge of the attic and saw a wooden staircase that led directly to the downstairs.
But at this moment, the first floor has already been flooded.
All kinds of tableware are also floating in it, making it almost impossible for people to get down.
Gu Chen stood at the intersection of the wooden stairs and the flood water, and kept shouting into the house: "Is there anyone there? Is there anyone else in the house?"
After the words fell, Gu Chen could hardly hear any movement except for the sound of rain outside.
"What's going on? Where did this person go?" The scene felt a little strange.
The old man he saw just now disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Gu Chen felt very suspicious.
But in order to confirm that there was really no one in the room, Gu Chen didn't care too much and jumped directly into the water on the first floor and started swimming to all the rooms.
But what frustrated Gu Chen was that after checking all the rooms, Gu Chen was basically sure that no one was living in the house at all, and there was no trace of the old man at all.
With doubts, Gu Chen did not go out through the door, but went straight to the roof along the attic where he had just climbed in.
After closing the skylight, follow the rope you just tied and get back into the kayak.
Lu Weiwei, who followed Gu Chen, quickly asked: "Junior brother Gu, what's going on inside? Look at you, you're all wet."
"I just entered the house and searched." Gu Chen took off his shoes, poured the water in the shoes outside, and said involuntarily: "But the strange thing is that there was no trace of the old man inside. This person seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.
."
"Disappear into thin air?"
Everyone looked at each other and felt a little strange.
The old man, whom everyone had seen, just disappeared out of thin air?
What's more, Gu Chen even went into the house and searched, but couldn't find the old man's presence.
Especially when everyone searched around the house just now, no trace of the old man falling into the water was found.
All these things make everyone feel incredible.
"Hi! Can you take me out? Look here..."
While everyone was hesitating, a middle-aged man was standing on the top floor of another building, waving his arms to everyone.
Gu Chen didn't think much and directly directed everyone: "Go over and have a look."
At this moment, everyone was driving kayaks and slowly approaching the building where the man was.
The man went directly from the top floor to the second floor and lay on the balcony watching everyone.
"What's going on with you? Why haven't you been transferred yet?" Lu Weiwei looked at the man up and down and said involuntarily.
The man frowned and said helplessly: "I didn't expect that the upstream reservoir would open its gates to release floods, and the water would rise so fast."
"The people from the Blue Sky Rescue Team were so hoarse yesterday that they asked you all to move them all, but you just didn't listen. Now you know how to call for help?"
A student police officer also directly repeated the complaint of the Blue Sky Rescue Team member just now.
The middle-aged man was a little embarrassed, but he said earnestly: "Isn't it true that I can't bear to part with these things in my house? There's a sudden move and I'm not allowed to take my things with me. I have to move all these valuable things to a higher place, right?"
"But these two trips delayed the transfer time. When we came out again, we found that the rescue team had already left."
"Now the communication equipment here has also been damaged, and my mobile phone has no battery, so I have been stuck here. I thought your rescue team would come over for inspection, but I didn't expect to meet you just in time."
Heaving a heavy sigh of relief, the middle-aged man also said with relief: "It seems that God has appeared."
"We are not gods, we are the people's police." Gu Chen looked behind the man and asked, "Do you have anything to bring?"
"Yes." The middle-aged man flicked his fingers and started handing out the large and small bags he had prepared to everyone.
Everyone also helped and put the man's belongings into the kayak.
But the man threw over 10 large and small packages in one breath.
Lu Weiwei complained a little: "I'm just moving you, not moving. Why are you bringing so many things?"
"Who knows if this house will be washed away? If it is washed away, all my things will be gone."
After the man threw the last package into the kayak, he looked disappointed.
Gu Chen understood the man's mood at the moment.
The floods submerged their homes and they could not take away all their belongings.
In this case, if you can take something away, you will naturally take something away.
But from a rescue perspective, it is not advisable for the man to take up the already tight kayaking space.
But there were no other people in need of rescue, so Gu Chen didn't pay much attention.
"Be careful." Gu Chen supported the man and carefully rescued him from the edge of the balcony into the kayak.
The middle-aged man was also lying on the kayak and breathed out a sigh of relief: "Finally saved."
"By the way." Gu Chen looked at the old house just now and asked the man directly: "Do you know who lives in that old house?"
"Which old house is it?" The man raised his head, also looking curious.
"That's it, that tile-roofed house." Lu Weiwei pointed to the direction where everyone was searching just now.
The man sat up, turned to look around, and immediately laughed: "That one? That's where an old man from the village lives."
"Where is the old man now?" Gu Chen quickly asked.
The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment and said, "How do I know? He should have been picked up by the rescue team in advance, right?"
"No." A school policeman retorted: "When we came over just now, we found the old man wearing a raincoat and a bamboo hat, sitting on the roof."
"Ah? Really? Then he probably didn't leave, right?" The middle-aged man said after hearing this.
"But when we got closer to search, he disappeared again." Lu Weiwei quickly added.
The middle-aged man was stunned again: "No one is there? Did you see it clearly?"
"I must have seen clearly. With so many pairs of eyes, how can I not see clearly?" Lu Weiwei also had a firm attitude and argued hard.
The middle-aged man nodded silently: "Then if you see him on the roof, but there is no trace when you get close, could it be that he fell into the water?"
"Well, that's what we thought at first." Lu Weiwei crossed her arms and said helplessly: "But when we searched nearby, we didn't find any trace of the old man. It didn't feel like he fell into the water.
Look."
"And it would float if it fell into the water, and it would probably struggle a few times, but we didn't see it."
"It's strange." Listening to Lu Weiwei's explanation, the middle-aged man hesitated for a moment and then asked: "Then have you guys gone into the house to take a look?"
"Yes." Gu Chen heard this and replied directly: "I climbed up from the roof, and then climbed in through the skylight attic. I searched all the rooms inside and found no trace of the old man."
"That's strange." The middle-aged man scratched the back of his head and said with a confused look on his face: "Did the person really get washed away by the flood? Maybe it happened to be in your blind spot and you didn't notice it?"
After hearing what the middle-aged man said, everyone seemed to think it made sense.
If this is the case, the old man has obviously been washed away by the flood.
But Gu Chen directly denied it: "The houses here are complicated. Even if the old man is washed away, he should be able to catch some objects."
"And the water flow here is not fast. These conditions are completely achievable. However, we searched outside several times and found no trace."
"That's strange. I don't know what's going on." The middle-aged man scratched the back of his head, feeling a little unexplainable.
Thinking that we need to rush for rescue now, it is not good for everyone to continue to waste time here.
Gu Chen directly ordered: "How about you send him to the resettlement site first, and then we will search down there to see if we can find him."
"Okay." The two school police officers on the other kayak agreed directly.
Afterwards, everyone drove their kayaks separately outside the house.
Gu Chen took the remaining personnel and continued to search around the village.
I always felt that the old man's disappearance was a bit strange, but Gu Chen couldn't explain why for a while.
