The current was turbulent and it was no longer possible to row the boat downstream. The two people pushed the bamboo raft to the shore. After the three people got on the shore, the bamboo raft was immediately swept away by the rapids and smashed by the waves.
The rain was heavy, and the river water continued to rise, flooding the river beaches and spreading into the woods. There are many nets on the river beach and in the woods. It seems that they were set up by nearby residents who wanted to take advantage of the rising water level to catch some fish and shrimps.
After passing through the woods next to the river beach, there is a cement road. There are many wooden huts built on both sides of the road. These huts are built in the air, about one meter above the ground. There are people inside every hut. People who are hiding from the rain in the house can see The three of them looked around, but the rain was so heavy that they couldn't see who was outside.
There are people everywhere who can take shelter from the rain. If you want to take shelter from the rain, you can only rely on other people's nests. Chen Huaming was very hesitant. After exchanging glances with Du Cuiniang, he found that Chu Xiang had no intention of stopping and kept walking forward along the road. Knowing that Chu Xiang might not want to stop to take shelter from the rain, he had no choice but to follow Chu Xiang in the heavy rain.
The road followed the river along the foot of the mountain and shuttled through the dense woods. It had a great impact on the vision of Chen Huaming and Du Cuiniang. The heavy rain hit their faces and they couldn't even see the road clearly. They could only see one person five meters away. silhouette.
Chen Huaming and Du Cuiniang didn't understand why Chu Xiang chose to rush on the road in the heavy rain. It was too painful to rush in this kind of weather, even for people like them who were used to living a hard life.
It rained heavily for more than an hour, and there was a foot of water on the flat ground. The water flowing down from the mountain on the left overflowed the road, and all poured into the river on the right. The river water had already submerged a large forest on the bank, and only half a meter was left to flood. After crossing the road, everyone in the hut looked at the water flow outside in fear. If the heavy rain continued for another half hour, they would all be washed into the river.
The rain subsided, and Chen Huaming and Du Cuiniang, who were soaked all over, looked at Chu Xiang, who was also soaked. The figure walking steadily forward seemed more solemn and compassionate.
Chen Huaming was very doubtful whether this leader was really a monk or a Buddhist monk invited by the military to join.
Just when Du Cuiniang and Chen Huaming were guessing Chu Xiang's thoughts, the people in front suddenly started to move faster. In the blink of an eye, they were already walking like flying. Chen Huaming and Du Cuiniang didn't know what happened and hurriedly followed.
Although Chen Huaming and Du Cuiniang did not have the ability to fly in the air, they had no problem with flying across the sky. Seeing that Chu Xiang was getting faster and faster, they could only use their energy to leap forward and run through the water to catch up.
Just as the two were struggling to catch up, there was a faint sound of thunder in the distant mountains, like thousands of horses galloping, with a roaring echo. Chen Huaming's expression changed drastically when he heard the sound, and he shouted to Du Cuiniang in Burmese: "Mountain flood."
After saying the word "mountain torrent", Chen Huaming found that his voice echoed in his ears like muffled thunder, spreading throughout the countryside.
Du Cuiniang understood why Chu Xiang suddenly rushed over and shouted in Burmese: "He wants to save people."
"How to save them? The flash flood will arrive in a few minutes at most. We can only tell them to run quickly." Chen Huaming said in Burmese.
"You go and notify the left side, and I'll go to the right and tell them to run back." Du Cuiniang said in Burmese. The direction the three of them came from was relatively high.
"Okay." Chen Huaming said, jumping to the left side of the road, and Du Cuiniang also jumped to the right.
"Flash flood, run fast, flash flood, run fast, run north..." Chen Huaming and Du Cuiniang kept shouting in Burmese.
There is a relatively flat area on the left side of the road, which is the pass between two ridges. Hundreds of thousands of people live in densely packed areas. The higher areas along the road on the right side are all huts. Judging from the sounds echoing in the valley, , the location where the flash flood is about to pass is exactly between these two mountains.
When Chen Huaming and Du Cuiniang went to notify the people on both sides, Chu Xiang had already passed the settlement on the left and came to the exit between the two mountains.
There is a stream washed out by running water in the middle of the mountain pass. It flows into the river from the bridge hole under the road. At this time, the rushing water has overflowed the stream. The small stream cannot accommodate the large amount of water brought by the heavy rain, let alone discharge the flood. Once the flash flood arrives, , the entire mountain pass will be in ruins, the road will be washed away, and areas within a radius of several kilometers will be destroyed by floods.
Chu Xiang looked at the surrounding terrain. The mountain pass was in the shape of a trumpet, and the narrowest point was only about twenty meters wide. Hearing the rumbling sound in the distance, it seemed that the flash flood was extremely powerful. The water level was probably about ten meters high when it got here.
After estimating the time it would take for the flash flood to arrive here, people around him only had about two minutes to evacuate. At this time, many people had just heard Chen Huaming’s shouts and were stumbling out of their huts and running to the road. It would take at least a minute, and it would take at least forty or fifty seconds to run to higher ground to the north.
If it were just like this, most people would be out of danger. However, some people who emerged from the huts were reluctant to part with their pots and pans, and hurriedly packed up all their belongings before stumbling away. Some couldn't tell the difference between east, west, north, and south. He also ran towards Chu Xiang.
The crowd rushed onto the road and ran north in panic. Some people fell and were trampled to the ground by the chaotic flow of people. Some people were too panicked and were washed down by the water flowing over the road. Some people tripped over their own pots and pans. The road was in a mess, and before the flash flood came, people had already died in the chaotic crowd.
In such a situation, there must be many people who cannot escape the arrival of flash floods. When disasters of life and death come, how many people can remain calm and steady, not to mention that they are just ordinary people and do not even have the ability to gallop and jump.
If you have not experienced life and death, you will not know the horror between life and death.
A minute has passed, and the roar of flash floods is getting louder and louder, constantly echoing in the ears. The fleeing crowd has become more panicked and confused, and some people are stumbling in the woods to escape, not even completing half of the retreat.
The mountain torrent was surging and appeared in Chu Xiang's sight in the blink of an eye. All the rocks and trees along the way were swept in, and they rushed towards the mountain pass with an irresistible force.
The flash flood conflict was unavoidable, and the evacuated people would never be able to reach a safe location before the flash flood came. The terrain from the mountain pass to the river flashed in his mind, and Chu Xiang had already made a decision in his mind.
The real energy rushed fiercely, and as Chu Xiang stepped on the ground, the invincible Qi broke open the ground. As the ground shook and the mountains shook, a crack more than ten meters deep appeared on the ground, along the road leading out of the mountain pass along the stream. The sides extended, constantly collapsing and collapsing amidst the violent vibrations, forming a deep chasm.
The water head of a flash flood is not very fast, but it is the most lethal because it is mixed with rocks, trees and other things, just like a mudslide, and anyone who is caught in it has no chance of survival.
Looking at the panicked crowd, Chen Huaming and Du Cuiniang had no choice. In this situation, the strength of the two people was too limited. This was no longer something that high-skilled people could handle, unless there was a well-trained team that could Maintaining order can divert the crowd, otherwise it will be absolutely impossible for these people to quickly evacuate the dangerous area.
A deep ditch was opened on the ground by Chu Xiang, and the surrounding rainwater began to flow into the ditch. There was much less water on the road, and there was no water flowing over the ankles to wash away. The panicked crowd fled much faster.
"Quick, go this way, the one in front should go faster." Du Cuiniang kept shouting in pure Burmese.
The road was too crowded, and many people were running through the woods. However, the terrain in the woods was complicated and there was running water everywhere. It was easy to trip, and people fell into the trees from time to time.
The roar of the mountain torrent was already very close. Chen Huaming turned his head and looked towards the mountain pass. Under the cover of the woods, he could not see Chu Xiang or the roar of the mountain torrent, but he knew that the mountain torrent was coming.
The mountain torrent has arrived in front of him, roaring and raging like a demon that wants to eat people. Chu Xiang has been prepared for a long time, and the invisible aura activates, completely blocking the mountain pass of more than 20 meters, and the mountain torrent more than two meters high hits the mountain pass. On the Gangqi wall, there were endless rumbling sounds, and the ground shook.
Withstanding the huge impact of the flash flood, Chu Xiang's expression changed slightly, and the ground beneath his feet cracked and sank like a spider web. Although the flow of the flash torrent was not large, the impact of the waves on his head was far greater than expected, and Chu Xiang's breath was stagnated at the impact. After the second flash flood hit, the ground under Chu Xiang's feet had sunk half a meter. At this time, the flash flood flow blocked by the Gang Qi was more than four meters high.
Hearing the rumble of the mountain torrent hitting the Gangqi, Chen Huaming could roughly guess that Chu Xiang was holding on to the mountain torrent. Once Chu Xiang couldn't hold it on, and the mountain torrent broke through the mountain pass, the force of the mountain torrent would be greater and the damage would be caused. Larger, people who do not leave the danger zone will have no chance of survival.
Looking at the panicked crowd in front of him, Chen Huaming felt unspeakable. If these people had some martial arts skills, they wouldn't have left him so helpless. What's the point of living for these people who have no ability to survive? If we save them today, the flash flood will come again tomorrow. Who will save them then?
Chen Huaming's mood was complicated. If it weren't for Chu Xiang, who was blocking the flash flood, he would have stayed away from here long ago and left these people to fend for themselves. Instead of watching like now, not knowing how to help them, he couldn't leave and could only watch. Watching them struggle on the way to escape.
If you don't see it, you won't be upset. At this time, Chen Huaming can't look at it without paying attention to it. People are not wood and stone, so who can be indifferent.
After standing for a moment and sighing, Chen Huaming jumped down from the treetop, picked up a woman who fell in the bushes, pushed her with both hands, and sent her smoothly onto the road.
Even if you can't save everyone even if you die, you can't save everyone, so do your best and help everyone you can. Although these people are from the enemy country, they are just ordinary people and will not pose a threat to the defense line of the motherland. .
Du Cuiniang kept shouting to direct the flow of people, and Chen Huaming did his best to send those who fell behind to the road. Soon Chen Huaming integrated into helping the fleeing people, and no longer thought about other things, even Chu Xiang was blocking the flood. Forget it, all I want to do is help more people escape from this dangerous area.
