MTL - American Warehouse Taobao King-Chapter 831 【Flash flood】
Butler James took off his hat and fanned Yang Yong to cool down. He took out a water bottle for Yang Yong to drink, shook his head and said with a wry smile. "Sir, you don't need to listen to the weather forecast to see this sultry weather, you can know that it is holding a heavy rain because the ambient humidity is too high."
Yang Yong took a sip of water and sighed, and said while holding a cigar from his pocket. "Our field camp is halfway up the mountain. If there is a flash flood, it will be dangerous. Should we move it?"
James took the aluminum tube cigar handed by Yang Yong, opened it, lit a cigarette for Yang Yong, and then lit it himself. He opened a small tin box hanging around his waist, and there was half of the water in it, which was specially used to collect soot in the mountains. Even if you don't use this small box to pick up soot, it is unlikely that such a large humidity will cause a forest fire, but be careful.
As the saying goes, fire and water are ruthless. The two of them are considering whether flash floods can break out. Don’t let the flash floods break out by then. It's more dangerous to throw a cigar **** into a forest fire, but James looked up at the sky and thought about it, then shook his head and said.
"Sir, although I have never lived in Switzerland, European countries are so small. What happened in any country is the news of the whole Europe. I have never heard of flash floods in the mountains of Switzerland. I don't think there will be much rain? No need to move. The base where we are stationed is a rare piece of open space in the mountains, don’t you want to live on a slope?”
Yang Yong thought about it, and what James said was right. Since he went up the mountain, he had not seen any traces of flash floods. All the places are densely vegetated, and even if it rains, there will be no flash floods, so I don't think about this topic again, and after a while, I continue to search with James. Until two o'clock in the afternoon, the two peaks, or the crack between the two mountains, had not been found.
When we just returned to the base, the sky became drowsy, and it looked like it was going to rain. This time Yang Yong still asked James to check the weather and judge how much rain it is today? If the rain is too heavy, you really have to find a place to avoid flash floods. Butler James said with certainty that there is no problem, even if it rains, it is below the level of moderate rain, there is no possibility of flash floods, and it is no problem for Yang Yong to live in the tent with peace of mind.
After dinner, the sky began to rumble and thunder sounded. After a while, the heavy rain fell, and everyone returned to the tent to rest, but Yang Yong felt more and more uneasy in his heart. After opening the tent, he saw the gray weather.
There was also the endless heavy rain, and I was a little uneasy. I felt that Butler James must have made a mistake this time. That's why Yang Yong didn't dare to sleep, and he couldn't let others sleep if he didn't sleep. In case of a flash flood, he would run naked, and he would freeze to death in order to be swept down the mountain and drowned by the flash flood.
So Yang Yong knocked on the metal kettle beside him, and the loud noise woke up all the people in the surrounding tents. He opened the tent and asked Yang Yong if he was uncomfortable. The camp where Yang Yong and his people are stationed is not large, so they live in a circle with a fire pond in the middle, which is also a place to cook.
At this time, the fire in the fire pond had been extinguished by the rain. Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Yang Yong said with great concern. "Put on my clothes. I think today's rain is not small. Although the mountains are densely covered with vegetation, when the rain is saturated. It is impossible to say when flash floods or mudslides will form. How can we human beings be in harmony with nature? How about fighting against natural disasters? Putting on clothes is not a good idea, if there is any danger, run quickly."
Everyone, look at me, I look at you, and I feel that Yang Yong is making a fuss. However, everyone had to listen to the boss's instructions, and complained that they went back to the tent and started to get dressed, and then lay on the moisture-proof mat and started to sleep.
When he slept until midnight, he felt the rocks under his body vibrate a little, but Yang Yong hadn't slept all night. Although he was very sleepy, he was the first to feel some vibrations in the rocks under him, as if there was an earthquake or a flash flood or a mudslide in the distance. This time Yang Yong was afraid to open the tent and shouted wildly.
"All get up, get up, the rocks in the rock cave move and run fast, don't want anything, hurry up and run to a safe place with me."
It was pitch black outside, the thunder and rain were like the end of the world, and the rocks at the bottom of the tent shook a little. Anyone with experience knows that something is wrong. At this time, everyone remembered what Yang Yong said, and with Yang Yong's shouting, everyone immediately came to a carp and ran out of the tent. It was pitch-dark outside, the road was nowhere to be seen, and it was raining heavily. It was so dangerous that if someone slipped or happened to encounter a mudslide or a landslide, the person would be dead.
Fortunately, Yang Yong is here, and he will not carry a flashlight at any time, and it is still a strong light flashlight per person. So everyone wore clothes and followed Yang Yong with a flashlight and ran up the mountain. Everyone would definitely ask, there are already signs of landslides, why are they running up the mountain instead of down the mountain.
Because landslides all slide down from the mountain, the further down the slide, the larger the area, and the larger the affected area, forming a fan-shaped area distribution. Coupled with landslides or mudslides, it is impossible for people to run too fast to survive such natural disasters, and the only way is to run up the mountain. Find a solid ground to hide, or hug a tree to avoid being swept away by mudslides.
My good guy was fleeing in the middle of the night. Everyone followed Yang Yong and supported each other, holding flashlights and running up the mountain in the rain. Before I ran out 300 meters, I heard a rumbling sound from behind. Although I couldn't see anything, the sound was so loud that the rocks rolled and the trees were broken.
This fool knows that flash floods and mudslides have erupted, and the sound is not far from his field camp. If I don't get it right, it will really be affected, and I will be dead at that time. Fortunately, everyone is afraid, but my boss is shrewd.
Yang Yong is not so shrewd, he is still afraid of death, and the more careful people who are afraid of death are to stay away from dangerous places. Now that his crow's mouth was right, Yang Yong felt even more afraid, and looked at everyone standing dumbfounded and scolding.
"Don't stop, you idiots, hurry up, run up the mountain. Find a solid mountain so that we can get out of danger, hurry up."
Everyone who was blinded by the dark lights started to run. Fortunately, they were all holding hands, and no one was left behind or in danger. One ran for more than an hour, and everyone was exhausted. Only then did they find a concave rock. The vegetation around the mountain was very thick, so they hid in it, and everyone leaned against each other to keep warm until dawn.
Finally able to see the surrounding situation clearly, everyone crawled out of the extra cave, looking around, the good guy was scared out of white hair and sweat. Less than 100 meters away from the place where everyone was hiding, there was a huge pine tree that neither of them could hold.
The surrounding mountains were washed out of ravines, but because the rain had just finished, the temperature was very low, and the fog had already risen. If you can't see far away, even a fool can think that far away places will definitely be affected by mudslides.
