080 Breaking the Embankment
I'm about to investigate the fate of the rest of the people.
Suddenly, in the quiet ward, the mobile phone ringed at a sky-high price.
Outside the corridor, there was also a turbulent sound, accompanied by the shouts of nurses maintaining order.
It is reasonable that this is a senior ward, and it should not be so noisy. Ning Caichen frowned, closed the "Heavenly Machine Record", and reached out to get the mobile phone placed on the bedside table.
Xiaoqian beside ** was also woken up. She opened her eyes hazyly: "Brother Ning, who! Calling so late to disturb people's dreams, and don't let people sleep!" Then, she was stunned, listened to the movement outside, and asked alertly, "Brother Ning, why is it so messy outside? Is there an earthquake?"
Ning Caichen glanced at her, automatically ignored her nonsense, pressed the answer button, and put his mobile phone in his ear. But before he could speak, Liu Yadie shouted eagerly from the receiver: "Ning Caichen, are you still in the hospital? Immediately, Xiaodie and others transferred, and the amount of water in the dam soared that they might not be able to keep it.
"What?" Ning Caichen's face suddenly turned pale and suddenly stood up, "Are you telling the truth?"
"Why did I lie to you! The news just came back from the dam. Liu Yadie's words were fast, "Now that the troops have been urgently transferred to the dam for emergency rescue, and the worst will open the sluice to vent the flood. No matter how dangerous it is in Jiang City, you should leave quickly. If time is tight, I won't rush to meet you. Take Xiaoqian to Jiangbei City to hide first. We will contact you when we get to Jiangbei. Let's hang up first.
"What's wrong? Brother Ning, your face is so ugly! Isn't there really going to be an earthquake?" Ye Xiaoqian came over and shook her hand back and forth in front of his eyes.
Ning Caichen woke up excitedly: "Come on, Xiaoqian, pack up your things, and we'll leave here immediately. It's more serious than an earthquake, and the dam can't be preserved.
"Damn, it's true!" Ye Xiaoqian's face also changed, but Ning Caichen's nervous appearance and panicked voice outside quickly made her confirm the authenticity of the news.
This is a senior ward, and most of them live in rich people. According to the national conditions of this country, they should be the first to know all the news. I have to say that this is the sadness of the system.
"But, Brother Ning, what about Li Ling?" Ye Xiaoqian asked.
"Let's go together." Ning Caichen said without hesitation. At this moment, he finally knew the reason for today's restless mind. His nerves were so keen that even such a natural and man-made disaster could be felt in advance.
12 o'clock at midnight.
Story rain pouring down.
The red Mazda passed through the rain curtain like a sharp sword, slid out of Lianjiang City, and went straight to Jiangbei City. The back seat of the car was Li Ling, who was unconscious, and Ning Caichen holding her.
Lianjiang City is a secondary city. There is very little traffic on the road at midnight, but today, although it is raining heavily, the road is still full of outbound vehicles. They should have got the news and went out to take refuge.
In the face of such a situation, Ning Caichen could only sigh silently.
Ye Xiaoqian's driving skills are really hard to say. In such extreme weather, he can soar more than 100 miles, and the wheels are not slippery: "Brother Ning, don't you have anyone else to inform?"
Ning Caichen shrugged his shoulders and said, "Who should I inform?" It's not that you don't know that I'm alone."
Ye Xiaoqian asked, "Where is Yuan Mei? She has helped us many times!"
"She? No need." Ning Caichen remembered Yuan Mei's special fate and smiled and said, "No, if something happens to everyone in the world, she will be fine."
The expressway was closed, so Ye Xiaoqian took the national highway. After getting on the national highway, her speed slowed down. She also knew that in this weather, driving fast on the national highway was almost like dying.
What's more, the road is almost completely covered by stagnant water. The headlights shine over, and the whiteness is full of water. If you don't distinguish it carefully, you can't even see the road clearly. Not to mention driving fast, it's good not to drive into the ditch on the roadside.
There was a temporary silence in the Mazda car. After a while, Ye Xiaoqian asked in a low voice, "Brother Ning, will the river really break the dike?"
"Who knows?" Ning Caichen also looked worried.
The geographical location of Lianjiang City is not good. Its address is low-lying. Once there is a dangerous situation, it is the most likely place to have an accident. It is said that in more than six years, the dam broke once, killing tens of thousands of people. I've been fine for so many years, but I didn't expect to encounter such a rare disaster today.
"If something happens, the people in Lianjiang will be miserable!" Ye Xiaoqian smiled and said, "In such a sudden situation, it's too late for emergency evacuation."
Ning Caichen sighed, looked back at Lianjiang City in the rainstorm, and said sincerely, "I hope the dam can hold on!"
"Yes!" Ye Xiaoqian also nodded, and she was depressed. "Brother Ning, doesn't 2012 really exist?"
Ning Caichen gave her a white look: "What are you talking about? Do you also believe in movies?
"I'm not talking nonsense." Ye Xiaoqian hummed, "Don't you see frequent natural disasters around the world when you usually surf the Internet? I've never seen such frequent disasters before..." Suddenly, she stopped the car and turned around and smiled with a silly smile, "Brother Ning, don't say whether 2012 will come or not. I think our doomsday is coming ahead of schedule!"
Ning Caichen was stunned when he heard the words. Looking forward through the window, there was a long car queue in front of the rain curtain. The red light behind the rear of the car flashed in the rain curtain and could not see the end. Moreover, there were continuous vehicles turning back in front of him. He asked doubtfully, "Why is there a traffic jam here at this time?"
Ye Xiaoqian pointed to the front and said helplessly, "Brother Ning, if I remember correctly, the front is the White Horse River Bridge. Now, the only situation that can cause a traffic jam is that the bridge is washed away by the water!"
"The bridge was washed down?" Ning Caichen screamed, looked back and forth, and immediately regained his composure. He looked at Li Ling beside him and said in a low voice, "Xiao Qian, turn around, let's go back!"
"Where are you going?" Ye Xiaoqian was confused by him, "Are you going from another way? On this rainy day, it is more dangerous to take another road.
"Gone back to Lianjiang City." Ning Caichen had a gloomy face and snorted, "We're not going anywhere. Go home."
"Go home?" Ye Xiaoqian was surprised. She turned her head and shouted, "Brother Ning, are you going home at this jux?"
"Yes, go home!" Ning Caichen pointed to the front and said calmly, "Xiaoqian, the bridge has been washed away. The front will definitely not pass. It's more dangerous to stay here. You know, the Baima River is in front of you. If the dam breaks the dike and the river is poured down, the Baima River will definitely be the first to suffer. Then the consequences of staying here can be imagined. Instead of that, it's better to go home and listen to fate. I don't believe that the flood can really flood the sixth floor?
Although his words were calm, Ye Xiaoqian did not see it, and his body was trembling slightly.
In his hand, he held the "Tianji Benlu" tightly, on which a line of information was displayed: "The White Horse River will break the dike at 3:17 a.m. on July 30, 2010, and the river will pour into the field, and the life will be ruined."
Now it's more than one o'clock in the morning, that is to say, more than two hours later, the White Horse River can't be preserved, and the White Horse River can't be preserved, which means that even the Jiangshi Dam can't be preserved.
From Lianjiang City to the outside, no matter which road they take, they must pass through the Baima River. If they take a detour, they will not have time to avoid the flood peak at all. Instead of that, it is better to stay at home and wait for rescue.
But all this can't be said to Ye Xiaoqian. Ning Caichen can only force Ye Xiaoqian to turn around and go back to the city.
As for the dam and the Yangtze River, he also wanted to calculate his fate.
However, the fate of the Yangtze River is not shown in the Record of Heavenly Machine, and the dam seems to be man-made, but it is not shown.
"But, don't we really try other ways?" Ye Xiaoqian obediently turned around and walked back to the city. "Maybe other bridges have not been washed down?"
"Don't try. It's right to listen to me." Ning Caichen sighed and closed his eyes. "Now go out, no matter which road is a death. Only by staying at home honestly can you get life. Ye Xiaoqian, it's right to listen to me."
"Brother Ning, have you calculated it again?" Ye Xiaoqian breathed a long sigh of relief, and her tone suddenly became much lighter, as if what Ning Caichen said was the golden rule.
"Yes, it's over." Ning Caichen shook his head slightly, as if it was a dream, and as if he was persuading himself, "Go back, go back!" Natural and man-made disasters can't be stopped by mortals.
No one knows that just now, Ning Caichen almost did a stupid thing, a big stupid thing.
If the conditions are not too high for him to complete, he may have done it again.
He wanted to change the fate of the White Horse River through the "Tianji Benlu". After the "Tianji Benlu" showed the information that the Baima River was about to be poured upside down, the four words of life hurt his heart deeply like a sharp sword.
And he immediately remembered the way to change the fate of things by donating blood in the second stage of Tianji.
Ning Caichen implemented it almost immediately. He did not expect to stop the river from pouring. He only asked for a few hours to extend the time for the river to break the embankment, so that it could not be powerful until dawn, so as to buy some time for sleeping people.
However, with such a short requirement, the prompt given by the "Heavenly Book Record" is that "the blood volume of the Tianshu holder is insufficient and cannot be achieved."
Even Ning Caichen gradually shortened the time to five hours, four hours, three hours, two hours, one hour and half an hour. The "Tianji Book Record" still prompts that "the blood volume of the holder of Tianshu is insufficient and cannot be achieved."
In the end, Ning Caichen can only give up. Since he can't do it, he still insists on nothing. Does he really want to take his own life and then do a useless job?
It seems that it is impossible to fight against nature with personal strength! Ning Caichen, who came to the conclusion, was very decadent, so he had the above emotion.
