Transmigration of the bastard lord

Chapter 149 The Incoming Flood

In the early years, when the Old Hydesey Kingdom was not greedy enough to catch fish, Anpu City and Batty City, which were closest to the Rocka Mountains, were well-known adventure cities.Especially Batty City, more than a dozen miles to the southwest is the edge of the Roca Mountains. During the prosperous period of adventure, this medium-sized city with 10,000+ people's annual tax revenue is comparable to those of large cities with tens of thousands of people.

Haidesai, which is rich in water resources, has hundreds of large and small lakes in its territory, and there are two large rivers.The source of these two big rivers is the Roca Mountains, and the gurgling water has nourished countless creatures throughout Hydesai.I don't know if it is because people lack gratitude to the "mother river", but now, these gifts of nature have turned their faces without telling the insiders.

The people who exited the river bank supported each other and ran towards the hills with a low slope. The terrifying roar from the torrent from far and near touched people's nerves, so that they didn't even have the courage to look back.

The captain of the women's team, Anna, shouted loudly to command the retreat. She was running in big strides at the back, urging people to speed up, and at the same time resisted two workers whose legs were weak from overwork. Her loud voice was quite loud. Captain Renn's true disciple's momentum, "Run! Stride! Go up, fast!"

More than [-] members of the women's team protected the evacuation of the personnel on the battlefield together with Alger. Alger, who was always watching the water situation in the distance, was so anxious that he simply resisted the clerks of the engineering team just like Anna, and strode back to the hills behind.

Nearly [-] workers rushed up the hill like a tide. Although they were a little hasty, thanks to Andrew's reminder, they finally completed the evacuation before the raging torrent rolled down.

"The heads of each group organize their own groups! Points!" Anna, the interim supervisor with the highest position present, wiped her face and immediately assigned the grassroots managers to count the number of people.This small hill is only more than 60 meters high, and the area is quite considerable, and it will not be too crowded if people stand up all the way.But compared to the relatively calm workers in the castle, the temporary workers in Batty City who came to work for Gao Rixin were scared out of their wits. They all trembled and didn't respond to being called by their names.

"It's coming! It's coming—God, my God!"

Suddenly someone screamed loudly, pointing in the direction of the Rocka Mountains and yelling in a gaffe.Everyone looked towards the Rocka Mountains in unison, and suddenly many of them gasped, and some of them who were less courageous even screamed uncontrollably with unknown meaning.

Andrew, who was floating in mid-air and the only one not afraid of the power of nature, released dozens of processed giant light and shadow stones at the same time, recording this rare spectacle with a face of novelty.

The endless Roca Mountains seem to be angry, constantly sending out low-pitched, depressive roars that seem to be able to hit the soul directly; the rushing river rolls stones, sand, big trees that are broken by their roots, floating corpses of animals, etc. A mess of sundries roared down from the Roca Mountains; with an irresistible and invincible momentum, it swept over any foolish life and matter along the way; with a destructive rage, it roared and rolled towards the small embankment.

In a blink of an eye, the terrifying waves completely surpassed the dams that the workers had worked so hard to build and strengthen, and the river beach that was originally like a swamp was suddenly filled with ocean.Countless thick giant trees and drowned beasts were thrown into the air by the terrible waves and smashed hard on the side of the river beach.The thick tree trunk hugged by one person broke under the huge force, and was crushed into pieces by the powerful water force in a blink of an eye.

On the hills, the people who faced the power of heaven and earth for the first time were dumbfounded and shuddered.The light rain was still falling sparsely, and there was silence for a while on the mound crowded with more than 3000 people.

Except for the group on the battlefield, the people present were all strong and above ordinary people; if the People's Army recruits new barracks again, these people must be reserve soldiers.But even so, facing such a terrifying natural deterrence, people still turned pale; in addition, the uniforms on their bodies had long been soaked by rain, and they felt even colder from the inside out.

"... What we... are resisting is such a power...?" Lydia, who had stopped the bleeding on her head, murmured, her brown pupils widened, and she only stared at the crazy water that was constantly hitting the embankment. Feel dry mouth.

"Yes. There is nothing to be afraid of. After this wave goes down, we will work harder and double the width of the dam before dark." Anna, who was also staring at the terrifying water, answered calmly with a firm tone.

Lydia froze for a moment, looked straight at the captain, opened her mouth and then closed it, her eyes gradually became firmer, and she nodded vigorously.

Lydia's original intention may have been fear—but that's not important anymore.Anna, who joined the team at the same time, was promoted to the captain of the women's team in just a few months, and has a lot of say in the home team.Since Anna is so sure, she must be able to withstand it.

The force of the water hit the dike fiercely, and the waves that kept coming over soon turned the river beach here into a swamp country.Anna and Alger walked to the front, stretched their necks at the same time, and looked at the Roca Mountains under the rain-when did this water end?

William Fuller, a clerk from the Old Amp City City Hall, who was first poached from the then City Hall by Captain Wren, and never "returned" back, and gradually settled down in the engineering team, was the first to discover hidden dangers : "It's not good, Captain Anna, Mr. Alger, look!"

The two stared at each other in shock, and suddenly their hearts ached: After a wave hit the past, a thick wooden stake actually broke a gap in the embankment built with sandbags!

The water in the river channel desperately gathered towards the gap, and even formed a vortex; the hole that was knocked open was also getting bigger and bigger visible to the naked eye!

Anna and Alger looked at each other, and they both saw panic in each other's eyes; if there was a dam, there would be a swamp on the river beach, but without the dam... I dare not think about it!

There is no room for consideration in this situation. The two exchanged a quick word. Anna, who had a loud voice, immediately jumped onto the stone, glanced around and looked at her workers, and said loudly: "Everyone knows our responsibility, the dam Don’t lose it! There are cities and villages with 10,000+ people behind us, and we bear their lives and the trust of the castle on our shoulders!” The thumb pointed to the ocean in front of the hill, and Anna’s rough voice was unexpectedly reliable at this moment, “ However, everyone can see that it is dangerous there, and not everyone can go there! So, brothers and sisters, we need death squads! Before the gap in the dam is broken, we need to plug it! Now, those who are willing to go, the strength Those who are above the first level stand up!"

The temporary workers in Badi City hired by the battlefield looked at Anna with monster eyes, and blocked the embankment in that horrible flood?Is this man crazy?

Immediately afterwards, the worldview of these courageous citizens of Batty City was shocked, and the eyeballs of a dozen temporary workers fell to the ground—the female men of the women's team and the workers of the main team rushed to raise their hands, for fear I can't allocate it myself!

"Stop it, man, your feet are going weak, we don't have time to mess around with you, get back!"

"No, you can't go, your strength is not enough, next time!"

"Okay, brothers and sisters, there are enough people! Those who are named follow me, and others, stay put!"

Ren's character has always been that he does not accept, and he often makes Fu Youguang wish he could stuff a few pieces of tofu into his brain to support his capacity.The team brought out by such a guy can't be tempered.In less than a minute, Anna and Alger selected about 1 death squads with sufficient strength and good physical fitness.

"Crazy... must be crazy..." A Bati City citizen's face was pale, and his eyes stared at the workers who were talking and laughing happily as they jumped into the dragon's den and tiger's lair.

The Batty city temporary workers who were rescued by Alger and the girls from the women's team huddled together tremblingly. After someone subconsciously opened his mouth, the person next to him immediately lowered his voice and said in a trembling voice: "Don't Said, Jack, be careful not to be heard by them."

Another Badi city resident chattered and stuttered, "Hey, let me tell you, are they...bewitched by some demon...or drugged?"

As soon as this unreliable view was raised, it was recognized by several people.

"Sure, otherwise who would be so stupid to go down to die?"

"No wonder these people don't run away, but come here to make trouble."

"Oh, it's a pity that there is not much food at home, otherwise I would take my family and hide outside the city for a few days... This flood is a bit scary."

"Stupid, there is still a city wall to block you in the city, how can you block it when you come out?"

The citizens of Batty City timidly discussed and complained. At the same time, more than [-] warriors also rushed to the river beach.The stagnant water that used to only cover the insteps now spread directly to the waist.Walking one by one certainly does not show that the mountain torrent is still pouring outside. Although the water is blocked by the dam and the momentum of the water here is much smaller, it is not easy to stand still; fortunately, Alger is a smart and energetic man. He pulled up the worker who had slipped and fell, put his arm on his shoulder, put his hand on his shoulder, and shouted loudly, "You are all like the people around you!" Put your arms together! Leverage each other's strength and move forward side by side!"

Anna's eyes lit up, and none of the warriors in this group of warriors was small. Considering her height like Lydia's, Anna didn't let her come; except for her chromosomes and name, she was no different from a man in other aspects. The strong female warrior stretched out her hands, and brought the arms of the left and right people around her body, and her own hands also supported them, "Listen to Mr. Alger! Let's put our arms together and use each other's strength!"

"go ahead!"

"One, two, one!"

The 500 people were divided into five echelons, with arms crossed and shoulders together, wading through the waist-deep muddy water and against the constant impact of water waves, advancing neatly and powerfully, step by step, at an uneasy but steady speed, toward the The dyke in the torrent advances.

The gap on the embankment is constantly expanding, and the influx of floods makes people desperate; but these brave fighters who are firmly and gradually approaching the flood make the desperate people feel warm in their hearts, as if seeing the light again before their eyes.

Another wave of more than ten meters high hit the water surface on the river beach side for a while.The unselected workers on the hills watched the terrifying waves go over the embankment and hit the river bank, and they pinched their thighs anxiously.

The waves disappeared in an instant, and in just a few seconds, more than 2000 workers on the hill felt as if half their lives had passed.Finally, the turbid muddy water descended, and under the waves, rows of people in blue overalls still stood firmly in the water, and followed the slogans step by step, getting closer and closer to the breach.

"Come on! Come on!" William Fuller, the clerk of the engineering team, yelled hissingly, waving his slender arms vigorously. Mr. Fuller, who is over forty years old, has not yet realized that his face is full of tears, mixed with the rain .

"Come on! Come on!" The workers shouted in unison, for the workers who faced the difficulties in the turbulent water, and also for the fulfillment of their responsibilities, the lives of 10,000+ people in the city behind them, and the trust given by the castle.

Finally, the first echelon of Anna and Alger surrounded the breach. They had exhausted a lot of energy and had no energy to shout. It was not until the second echelon followed that they leaned on each other to gain a firm foothold.

"The first and second echelons make barriers! The third echelon climbs the stone wall! The fourth and fifth echelons relay the stones to block the gap!"

Anna shouted loudly. In the precarious weather, only a talented person like her could have such a voice.The people in the third echelon step on the shoulders of the workers in the first and second echelons to climb the stone wall behind the sandbags. There is a fear of life.The flesh and blood of the two echelons of hundreds of people blocked the water coming from the gap, and the people of the fourth and fifth echelons could also stand firm behind them, groping for stones of suitable size from the muddy muddy water, and handing them up. People in the third echelon.

This artificial embankment is the painstaking effort of the entire team of flood fighters, and it has withstood the impact under such terrifying water potential, which is extremely rare in this industrially underdeveloped world.Without them, these raging torrents would have rushed out for an unknown number of miles, flooded and destroyed many villages, farmlands, and taken away countless innocent lives.So what if you hide in the city, if the continuous rain softens the base of the wall, how can the city wall made of dead things that have not been repaired for a long time withstand the terrifying power of nature?

Another wave of monstrous waves rushed down from the mountain, and the waves with countless sundries submerged the five hundred warriors in the ocean in an instant.The water waves fell, acting as human body barriers, and the two echelons standing cross-supported each other, everyone was injured, the light ones scratched the skin, and the heavier ones, such as bad luck, were taken away by the broken wood swept by the mountain torrents All of a sudden, Anna's forehead was blood red, blood and mud covered her face, and even her eyes began to be confused.

Anna was panting heavily, and the water waves hitting her from time to time made her chest feel like being hit by a hammer; the pain in her head was not as cold as soaking in cold water in the cold spring weather, and she didn't even groan She snorted; but she felt dizzy and dizzy, she blinked hard a few times, but there was still a mist in front of her eyes.

Spitting out the sand in her mouth vigorously, Anna wanted to sing for some reason. When this idea came to her mind, she had already sung: We workers have strength, hey!We workers have power!

I am busy with work every day,

Hi!I am busy with work every day,

built a spacious house,

Roads were built,

The transformation has changed the world so much!

hey hey!

Started the machine with a rumbling sound,

Clink the hammer!

Made a plow and a hoe to produce,

Created a weapon to protect the hometown! (Note: Lyrics have been modified)

Anna's rough and loud voice roared this simple and quick-paced ballad very powerfully. At first, she was the only one who sang, but slowly, more and more people joined in. After a while, the lower body was numb from the cold, acting as a barrier. All members of the two echelons responded in unison.

Singing is more like roaring; rough, powerful, and unwavering.

The song spread far to the top of the hill, and the citizens of Badi City who gathered together to vent their dissatisfaction gradually stopped complaining, and their eyes looked complicated, watching the group of embarrassed, barbaric, and rough people in the stormy ocean. , The unreasonable blue cloth uniforms bumpkins.

"...What a fool... Why do you work so hard to do this kind of thing if you don't escape by yourself... Can people stop such a terrible flood?"

The citizen who first complained murmured, as if he was laughing at these people who were overreaching. For some reason, his tone was full of sourness, and there was...a suspicious liquid slowly falling from his eye sockets.

This citizen who was so bold as to come to Hongfengkou to work as a temporary worker was somewhat "brave" than the timid ordinary citizens.But even for him, facing such a terrifying torrent that could engulf a town in an instant, his first reaction was to run away.

So, he really didn't understand - these people, why are they so overconfident?Why... so courageous and courageous?Aren't they afraid of death?Is it more important to resist the flood than to protect your own life?

After clenching his fists hard, the citizen who realized that his legs were trembling unceasingly blushed immediately on his pale face.At this moment, he was actually very envious of those people. The clothes soaked by the rain made his skin cold and his whole body was trembling; People in neat blue uniforms, this expectation is too strong, he even wished that he was one of the group of people standing in the flood with flesh and blood as a barrier.
