Bind to the collection system, I became a national treasure

Chapter 140 Natural Disaster

“It’s getting more and more outrageous…”

Yang Ru stood beside Bai Xi, looking at a group of soldiers covered in paint and with numb expressions slowly walking towards this direction, and couldn't help shaking his head and sighing.

After Baixi replenished the number of bionic aircraft, they organized several exercises in the past few days.

Without exception, the battle ended with an extremely exaggerated casualty ratio. Even if the soldiers of the armored company were mentally prepared, it was of no use.

The technological gap cannot be bridged just by being prepared. In addition, Bai Ze and mechanical intelligence are also constantly evolving during the drills.

In the previous exercise, Bai Xi's side even ended the battle with no losses and complete annihilation.

"The main reason is that there are no anti-aircraft weapons. If there were anti-aircraft weapons, the results would not be so exaggerated."

Bai Xi was quite clear-headed and replied to Yang Ru calmly.

Yang Ru was about to say something when his cell phone suddenly rang. After answering the call, he said a few simple words, but his expression suddenly became very ugly.

Bai Xi asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

"A geological disaster has occurred in the nearby area. The surrounding military districts need to participate in the rescue immediately."

Bai Xi was shocked: "Geological disaster?"

".....Flash floods caused mudslides and landslides..."

........

Four hours ago.

It was still a peaceful afternoon in Wen County.

A bustling vegetable market, bicycles coming and going, and students playing and fighting on their way home from school.

This small county town under Longnan City is not big. It is sandwiched between two mountains and built along a river, giving it a feeling of an isolated paradise.

This type of urban structure, built along the river on both sides of a ravine, is often seen in the southeastern region and is very rare in the northwest.

But precisely because of this, the water resources here are very abundant, with green mountains and trees on both sides. Some houses are even built directly on the river bank, and the same is true for the main roads in the county town.

An old man was carrying two bottles of soy sauce and walking towards home. When he passed by the chess stall in the park, he greeted his neighbors.

"Lao Li! Still playing! How much do you lose in a day? You can't even beat me, and you're still playing with Lao Liu?"

"Old Li" next to the chessboard waved his hand: "My pension is higher than yours! Play as many games as you want!"

Several elementary school students nearby ran over noisily.

The old man was afraid of being hit, so he stepped aside and said, "Kids these days are really something, what kind of teachers teach them!"

The old man continued on his way home. When he turned a corner, his view suddenly opened up. He could see the mountaintops in the north from afar. They were covered with dark clouds and faintly heard lightning and thunder.

But he has lived here all his life, so this situation is nothing new to him. The climate in the mountains is changeable. It is common for it to rain on the mountain over there while it is sunny on this mountain.

He shook his head, not caring much, and went home humming a little tune.

Few people can detect signs before a disaster occurs.

......

Three hours ago.

A middle-aged woman was squatting by the river washing clothes.

Although the water in this river is not particularly clear, the most important thing is that it is free. After so many years, she is still used to washing clothes by the river, which saves water and electricity.

Just a bit useless.

Ordinary people slowly squeeze out a little savings from the little bits and pieces of life.

As she was washing, the middle-aged woman thought it was because of her age and squatting for too long that her eyesight became blurry. Why did the water in the river become more and more turbid?

The middle-aged woman looked up in confusion and found that not only her area, but the entire river had become turbid.

She felt a little uneasy, so she stood up and looked upstream.

Then....she saw...

Destruction of Heaven and Earth....

A huge amount of flood, carrying an unknown amount of mud and sand, rushed down from the valley ahead like a tiger descending a mountain.

Even the solid mountain walls were broken and shattered by the huge waves.

Even boulders several meters high were forced to be swept away by the mudslide, rumbling in the turbid waves.

The whole valley was shaking.

The middle-aged woman was stunned for a few seconds...

Her mind has never worked so fast...

After just a few seconds, it became clear...

She quickly took out her cell phone and called her daughter.

"Mom! I'm on the subway! Why don't you wait until I get home to talk about it?"

"Nannan..."

"Take good care of yourself in the future..."

The next moment... the signal turned into a busy tone...

Disasters come unexpectedly.

It is only 10 kilometers from the point where the mudslide broke out to the ravine where Wen County is located.

But the altitude difference between the two is more than 2000 meters...

The violent water flow, with the potential energy of 2000 meters, carried away the mud, sand and rocks of half a mountain, swallowing everything.

In just a few minutes, three villages and 50% of the county were completely destroyed and disappeared.

The silt formed a landslide lake in Xialou, causing the water level in Wen County to remain high.

Houses collapsed, bridges broke, and transportation, electricity, water power, and communications were all interrupted.

The disaster situation is severe.

After the disaster was reported, great attention was paid to it, and all surrounding forces were immediately mobilized.

The situation is extremely urgent. Arriving at the disaster site one minute late could mean the difference between dozens of lives.

......

Less than an hour after the bad news of Wen County was spread, a grassroots geologist nearby received a signal from his leader and moved towards this side.

Along the way, countless vehicles and people were fleeing away from Wen County.

Some were covered in mud, and some had bloody heads.

But they are just the lucky ones who were not directly affected by the disaster.

The real victims had no chance to escape.

Zeng Youcai didn't know the specific situation, he just heard that a large mudslide occurred in Wen County.

But this place is still more than ten kilometers away from Wen County, how come we have already encountered fleeing people?

Zeng Youcai rolled down his car window and called out to a young man who seemed to be in better condition. He asked in the local dialect, "Brother! What's going on up there?"

"It's tragic! It's so tragic! The entire Che County is gone, and the bridge is broken!"

"Did you escape?"

"There's no way we can escape! The county town was gone in a few minutes! We were far away! That's how we managed to save our lives!"

A few minutes? The county town is gone?

Zeng Youcai felt cold all over and didn’t dare to think about it!

He quickly took out his cell phone and wanted to contact his leader, but then he realized that there was no signal at all!

Done!

The signal tower is broken, the bridge is broken, and the electricity supply is probably not much better.

He hesitated for a long time, not knowing whether he should continue forward or retreat to where there was a signal.

Although he did not witness the horror of the disaster with his own eyes, the sight of people limping and bleeding down this winding mountain road was enough to terrify him, a grassroots worker who had been sitting in an office all year round.

"Run! Run! The water hasn't receded yet!"

"Mom! It hurts!"

"Hurry, hurry, I can't hold you anymore!"

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! Don't block my car!"

Crying, wailing, and scolding.

A kind of collective panic began to sprout in his heart.
