As soon as the boat approached land, Huang Qian and Yao Ran jumped down. The two tied a rope to the inflatable boats and then wrapped the rope around a tree several times.
When they secured the boats, Long Yu and Shi Xuan turned off the engines, and the others came down. freёweɓnovel.com
After the six of them pulled the inflatable boats to land, Yao Ran took out her binoculars and looked in the direction of the reservoir gate.
The reservoir burst, and none of those people survived. The water level kept falling, and water kept flowing out from the reservoir like a waterfall.
Walking to her side, Long Yu said, "I hope it's just the Anyuan Reservoir that collapsed today. Otherwise, the consequences will be devastating."
There are five reservoirs around Juncheng City. During the drought, these five reservoirs supplied water to nearby ten cities, including Juncheng. If all five reservoirs burst at the same time, Juncheng City and several nearby cities may disappear from the map.
The others all fell silent when they heard Long Yu's words. Human beings are smaller than ants when it comes to natural disasters. No matter how they resist and struggle, they cannot escape death.
Yao Ran walked to a tree and sat down. She took a piece of chocolate from her backpack and put it in her mouth to replenish her energy. The dangerous situation just now really exhausted her mental energy.
Quan Yuanwei sat under the tree, feeling very scared but also grateful that he could escape death. If he died here today, he doesn't know how his grandparents continue to live in this crazy world.
Yao Ran looked at Long Yu and found him frowning and staring at the water. She didn't know what he was thinking, but looking at his gloomy expression, she knew it must be bad news.
Two hours later, the water finally calmed down. Yao Ran stood up and climbed up to a higher ground. Then she took out her binoculars and looked at the reservoir gate.
Seeing that the water in the reservoir was connected to the outside, Yao Ran knew that they could no longer fish. They caught most of the fish, and the rest was supposed to be washed away when the reservoir burst.
Yao Ran came down and said, "The water here had connected to the outside."
Long Yu took the binoculars from her hand and looked toward the reservoir gate.
A few seconds later, he said, "The terrain at the reservoir gate is lower, and the water flows around the mountain and eventually extends to the road outside."
Huang Qian heard this and asked, "Can we leave directly without climbing the mountain?" Long Yu nodded, "Theoretically, yes."
Carrying more than two hundred bags of fish over mountains and ridges is no joke. If they could drive directly out of the reservoir, that would be the best outcome.
