Become a winner in life after binding the childbearing system

Chapter 567 Infinite Flow Cannon Fodder (14)

“The rain is getting heavier!”

The contents of the copy came true. On the morning of the seventh day, the rain, which had been gentle at first, suddenly increased in intensity by more than a little.

After getting up, Shen Yao stood outside the tent, looking up at the incessant rain around her, worrying whether they could reach the top of Maple Mountain within the scheduled time.

Xu Ningchen had already made breakfast. Fortunately, the tent held up. In addition, they were in a high position and there was no water accumulation problem around them. Otherwise, they would not have had such a leisurely mind.

"It seems that our plan needs to be adjusted," Xu Ningchen looked at the scattered tents around him and thought that they had accepted too many people along the way, which slowed down their original progress. It was time to act separately.

After all, they have already provided help (medicine) to the best of their ability. If they continue to get along with each other, I am afraid that the gift of medicine will not be able to withstand daily consumption.

Shen Yao tilted her head and looked at Xu Ningchen beside her, curious about what this guy was going to do.

Xu Ningchen smiled slightly and motioned Shen Yao to fill her stomach first. He then went out with an umbrella. When he came back, he had packed his luggage and was ready to leave.

"What to do with these people?"

Shen Yao nodded. Not many people took the same action as Xu Ningchen. Most people chose to remain silent.

"They wanted to wait until the rain stopped, and besides, someone in their family was not feeling well, so they couldn't travel in the rain."

Xu Ningchen didn't think the rain would stop, but he fully respected personal opinions. Whether to go or stay depended entirely on one's own thoughts.

Shen Yao:......

Shen Yao helped pack the luggage, and then asked if they said this themselves, or if they were stuck in a conversation and had to bite the bullet and persevere.

Xu Ningchen just smiled and said nothing, "Anyway, it won't do us any harm if they stay," so why bother digging into the matter.

Shen Yao raised her eyebrows when she heard that, knowing in her heart that Xu Ningchen's image might not be very good in the whole thing.

Soon, the two of them gathered all the things in the tent, and folded the outermost tent fabric and spread it completely on the top of the cart.

In the end, there were about five families that left with Shen Yao. Most of them were young and middle-aged people. As for some families with both old and young, most of them had to stay and wait because of various objective reasons.

The medicines that Shen Yao had put in her backpack in advance saw a small exchange boom.

Fortunately, this had been anticipated during earlier preparations. Shen Yao smiled and emptied half of the medicines in her backpack, and immediately replaced them with more instant food.

Xu Ningchen counted the number of people who had gathered, and finally shouted loudly, "Let's go."

Continuing forward along the mountain road not far away, the group of people walked in pairs, firmly and persistently towards the more distant final destination.

During this period, due to the heavy rain, there were many people in the team who complained.

Fortunately, the rain was too heavy and the sound was weakened a lot after being physically isolated. Otherwise, such a team without emotional foundation and lack of trust would collapse in an instant.

But in the end some people started arguing, and Xu Ningchen played the role of a firefighter. They gave each other a slap on the wrist, and finally managed to keep this not-so-smooth team going.

"How much longer?"

Some people were being unreasonable and didn't want to continue walking because they were too tired, wet and had no strength left.

"We have already walked two-thirds of the way. Let's hold on until we reach the top of the mountain. There will be hot water for a shower, delicious food, and maybe even a signal to contact the city's rescue team..."

Some people in the team were discouraged, while others were optimistic. Shen Yao was just like a spectator. No matter what either side said, she did not interrupt and just listened quietly until the entire team stopped after dark.

Unfortunately, they still couldn't reach the top of Fengshan Mountain and could only continue to look for a place to rest on the road.

The tidied tent was set up again. Xu Ningchen spread out the bedding and filled two hot water bottles to keep Shen Yao warm.

It is still dangerous to use electricity directly in such humid weather. Moreover, although there is no water accumulation in the resting place they chose, there is still water seepage.

Xu Ningchen went out to help wearing a raincoat, and when he came back he had become a rain man.

Shen Yao:......

Shen Yao took out clean clothes and handed them to Xu Ningchen, then made a cup of hot ginger water to make him sweat.

"Don't worry, the situation is not as bad as you think." At least in Xu Ningchen's opinion, the two of them have a great chance of winning.

"The longer we delay, the greater the uncertainty," Shen Yao nodded her head. She felt that those who were still staying in the city would be in trouble. "Will Linqing City still exist after a month?"

This rain was like a hole in the sky, and the earlier weather forecast was no longer accurate.

"The authorities will find a solution. We just need to protect ourselves as much as possible and rescue others as much as we can before the authorities arrive in Linqing City."

Xu Ningchen is not optimistic about the future of Linqing City. The location of this city is really not very good. There is a lake on one side and a mountain on the other side. When the rising water spreads, Linqing City will be the first to be flooded.

This is a problem that cannot be solved by human power. We can't just let the altitude of Linqing City suddenly rise for no reason. This is not a place for cultivating immortals.

That night, Shen Yao couldn't sleep.

It was not because she was worried about the future of the copy, but simply because the rain was too heavy and the crackling sound disturbed her and she could not fall asleep.

But time waits for no one, even if they have not had a good rest, they still have to get up early in the morning and travel.

Shen Yao resisted the urge to sleep and walked along the mountain road step by step until someone in front of her suddenly fell, affecting the progress of the entire team. They were forced to stop and rest temporarily.

As expected, quarrels broke out again during this period of rest.

Shen Yao:......

Shen Yao held her chin and complained to the system in her mind about the liveliness of these people. They had been walking for several days and the sky had never been clear, yet they still had the energy to quarrel.

'Maybe I need to vent. The atmosphere here is still too depressing.'

The system is just like a wise guy, talking useless nonsense, mixed with its own opinions and the excitement seen from other places.

"Host, it is no exaggeration to say that the population of the entire Maple Mountain easily exceeds 10,000."

Don't be fooled by the small number of people in their team. In fact, Fengshan is very large. Some scenic spots that are open to the public receive many people every day, and the scale is even larger during holidays.

"Hurry up, there are not enough temples on the top of Fengshan Mountain to accommodate so many people." Those who arrive late will have to live in tents.

Living in a tent in such weather is unhealthy.

'What's the situation on the top of the mountain now? Can you still afford your daily food and drink?'

Shen Yao looked at the rain around him expressionlessly, trying to observe as much as possible.

"The situation is not bad, but if it continues like this, it will be overcrowded sooner or later."

This is not an exaggeration by the system. As the rain gets heavier, the rising water will backflow and submerge the city. The survivors will definitely have to run to higher places.

Therefore, they must occupy a position first before others rush to Fengshan for refuge.

Such a simple truth does not need to be explained in detail, any normal person can understand it.

Their short rest did not have any hindering effect. They continued to work hard on their journey, trying to reach the top of Fengshan Mountain one minute earlier.

On the morning of the ninth day, after going through all kinds of hardships, their team, which had parted ways halfway, finally reached the summit of Fengshan Mountain.

When the tall building appeared before their eyes, everyone finally let out a sigh of relief.
