During heavy rain, it is extremely difficult to drive on flooded roads.
After the Security Bureau's field patrol car stalled for the third time, Yu Zhesen decided to give up driving and walk instead.
He took the raincoat and boots from his companion Jian Yiran, put them on and got out of the car first, stepping into nearly 20 centimeters of water.
Jian, who got out of the car shortly after, still stepped into the water and said "uh". She turned her head and looked at Wang Yangzeguo in front of her and let out a sigh.
"Senior, they all say that the sewer is the conscience of the city. It seems that the conscience of Qidao City is broken." She said to Yu Zhesen in a tone of joy in suffering.
"This is a heavy rainfall that has not happened in a century. It is reasonable that the drainage system cannot keep up." Yu Zhesen put on the STG5701 tactical eyepiece and was debugging the image transmission status of the eyepiece.
He connected the Sword03 assault rifle equipped with a waterproof module to the eyepiece for data connection, and used the eyepiece's intelligent computing system to correct the shooting accuracy in extreme weather.
Jane still wore eyepieces, but as an intern, she was not equipped with an automatic rifle like Yu Zhesen. She carried two special operations pistols customized by Beretta Company as self-defense weapons. One was normally inserted into the side of the armed belt, and the other
Mounted on the chest of a tactical vest.
"Follow me." Yu Zhesen held a gun and opened the way.
"Don't the bureau have any water vehicles such as motorboats?" Jane still found it unbelievable. After all, Qidao City is an island group city surrounded by the sea. The local security bureau should always have vehicles for water operations.
"That kind of stuff is not stored in the municipal district or the old city. It is basically kept in the police duty room near the coast. Even if it can still be accessed, it has probably been transferred to disaster relief by the city hall."
"But there seems to be no sign of the city hall disaster relief team in this area." Jane still looked around.
"Because this is already the hinterland of the old city."
"Treated differently?"
"There are also practical factors to consider. The infrastructure in the old city is already relatively weak and the buildings are old. The rescue team will face greater difficulties in carrying out their work. There are also public security issues that we need to solve now."
Jane was still blinking: "Solve the security problem in the old city? Just the two of us?"
Although Jane still knows that the true combat power of herself and Yu Zhesen combined is very impressive, after all, she is a new member of the special service team at the moment, so she still needs to pretend to be cowardly.
She has always been strict with herself and has high standards when it comes to acting.
"The team leader should have brought some people to deal with it there. If we are lucky, we can join them."
"Well, what if we are unlucky? If we don't meet up with the team leader and the others, will we be in danger?"
"Stay vigilant, but don't think too much, just follow me." Yu Zhesen looked back at her, "Weren't you very bold when you were chasing the boat fire gang cadres and Shan Jing? Why are you so brave now?
Are you cowering?"
Jane still stuck out her tongue: "I hate it raining so heavily. Even with eyepieces and detection equipment, I can't see clearly what's going on in the distance..."
"You can summon the armor in advance, maybe it will give you a little more sense of security." Yu Zhesen suggested.
"No, let's forget it. I don't want to waste the armor's active time."
She silently followed Yu Zhesen as she waded through the water. Along the way, she kept seeing all kinds of debris floating along the water. The more eye-catching ones included banners and billboards from shops along the street, as well as everyday items such as pots and pans.
Living utensils.
When passing an intersection, they saw that a building on the corner had collapsed after being soaked in water. The broken masonry, cement blocks and glass slag were washed onto the road and piled up into a mountain.
"Will anyone be buried underneath?" Jane asked still anxiously.
"The eyepiece's life detector is not responding, let's move on."
Jane still walked around the mountains of building debris with complicated emotions. She thought that the lack of response from the life detector might not mean that everyone in the collapsed building was lucky enough to escape.
Under those ruins of steel and concrete, there might be desperate corpses buried.
The Iron Dome Management Bureau should be held responsible for the deaths of these people. It is not that they are unaware of the many long-standing shortcomings in the old city, but they are reluctant to rectify them for various reasons.
[Isn’t this kind of administration just what you want?] Jane still heard the shadow say in her mind.
"Shut up, Shadow." She ordered in her mind.
Being so close to Yu Zhesen, Jane still didn't dare to have too much communication with the shadow in her mind. She was really not sure how many mysterious abilities Yu Zhesen had that she didn't know about.
What's more, Shadow's ability to reset the world line cannot be used whenever she wants. She must be careful every step she takes.
"Senior, this doesn't seem to be the way to Sunset Pier."
Jane was still familiar with the old city. Even though many nearby buildings had been destroyed by heavy rains, she could still identify the general location where she was.
Combined with the electronic map that came with the eyepiece, Jane still noticed that their route had deviated from the shortest path to Sunset Pier.
"Indeed not, because I want to go somewhere first." Yu Zhesen quickly replied.
"Where to go? Wait...will it be very close to my home if we go further?" Jane was still confused for a while.
"Yes, but I want to go to Xiaoyan's place, which is the place where you had a meal with Miss Yu before."
Jane was still surprised and said "Ah" and then shouted: "Could it be that...that child is still left there alone?"
Yu Zhesen gave a wry smile and accepted it.
It was Wu Xiaoming's idea to place Xiaoyan in a residential building in the old city. It was a good choice before the arrival of the severe tropical storm "Ludia".
But as the weather worsens, the poor quality of buildings in the old city gradually becomes apparent, and the place where Xiaoyan lives becomes dangerous.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! On the way to the Security Bureau with Lu You this morning, Yu Zhesen received a call from Wu Xiaoming from Xingzhou City. She followed Qi through online news
Due to the severe weather changes in the island city, I called Yu Zhesen to remind Yu Zhesen to move Xiaoyan to a safe place as soon as possible.
In fact, even if Wu Xiaoming hadn't made this call, Yu Zhesen would not have forgotten this matter, because he had already been reminded of it when he left Yu Qingxue's house.
Yu Qingxue said that she had to devote herself to the work of the city hall to deal with the disaster. I was afraid that she would not have time to take care of Xiaoyan, so she entrusted Yu Zhesen to take the time to confirm the child's safety.
At this moment, Jian Yiran, who was following Yu Zhesen as he trudged forward in the heavy rain, felt uneasy in his heart.
As a high-ranking priest of the Returned Sect, she knew very well the origin and hidden abilities of Xiaoyan. He was both a child and a weapon, and was an important asset of the sect.
Friedheim once humbly asked Yu Zhesen to return it but was flatly rejected, but this does not mean that the sect has given up on recovering Xiaoyan. In Jian Yiran's plan, bringing Xiaoyan back to the Ark is a priority
Higher than the mission of rescuing Pastor Lu Hong.
"Senior, let's speed up." Jane, who was concerned about Xiao Yan's safety, couldn't help but urge Yu Zhesen.
"I have no problem, but can you keep up?" Yu Zhesen knew that he could walk faster. The reason why he controlled the speed at a moderate level was mainly to take care of Jian Yiran and to guard against mob attacks.
"Yes!" Jane Yiran's answer was straightforward.
"Does that child have such a high status in your heart? I'm a little jealous." Shadow suddenly said quietly in her mind.
"Don't be ridiculous, you know my reasons." Jane still responded to the shadow while pulling out the pistol hanging on her chest, because the sound of a motorboat chopping the waves came from ahead.
Yu Zhesen stared ahead through the eyepiece and saw two blue and white jet skis approaching one after the other.
Not only did he not raise his gun to aim, but he also reached out and pressed down the pistol that Jane was still holding: "Don't be nervous, you are not an enemy."
The aid of the eyepiece and the vision of God's blood allowed him to see farther and confirm the identity of the person driving the motorboat in advance.
