If I don't have money to go to college, I can only go to slay the dragon

Chapter 722 Kuimen Hurricane
Sleipnir's voyage was expected to be four to six hours, but due to the impact of heavy rain, the voyage had to be delayed to seven hours. During these seven hours, there was no motivating pre-war mobilization, and there was no lengthy strategy Deployment, there is only the roaring noise of the engine.

Everyone in the cabin was silent. Wearing anti-noise headphones, they either fell asleep or stared intently at the black clouds outside the porthole. During these seven hours, anything could happen in the Three Gorges on the other side of the ocean. They could not stop what was happening, they could only Recharge your batteries to prevent what is about to happen.

Facts have proved that the four hours of sleep last night was indeed not enough to support the activities of the next day. Lu Mingfei, who was resisted by adrenaline and dopamine at the beginning, boarded the plane. In half an hour, I fell asleep lightly.

It may be because he is not used to wearing noise-cancelling headphones. He didn't have any dreams along the way. He was in a state of light sleep. When the outside world disturbed him and a foreign object touched his body, he suddenly woke up.

"What are you doing?" Opening his eyes, Lu Mingfei saw half of Lin Nian's body, leaning over in front of himself sitting on the seat, almost squeezing him onto the entire back of the chair.

"What are you doing? Night attack?" Lu Mingfei, who gradually came back to his senses, stared at Lin Nian with wide eyes, and at the same time he felt the whole seat shaking violently.

"What kind of sick beauty or adventurer are you worthy of my night attack? And if I want to attack you at night, can you still resist?" Lin Nian said, "Put your feet back."

"Just watch and don't shake, okay?" Lu Mingfei felt that Lin Nian was right, so he put his legs back honestly.

"It's not me." Lin Nian said, "It's the plane."

Lu Mingfei looked around in a daze, and as expected, he found that the whole plane was shaking violently, and the lockers where the salute was placed were shaking loudly. Although Sleipnir never focused on stability, but now This kind of turbulence has exceeded the range of tolerance, it's almost like someone is shaking the nose and tail of the plane with both hands!
"Damn. Is this going to crash?"

Lu Mingfei realized that something was wrong, he quickly turned his head and glanced outside the porthole decorated with mahogany, and then he was stunned suddenly, because the window was still dark and rainy, and the track of the rain on the porthole was so blurred that people could not see his own reflection clearly .

He thought that when he woke up, the sun would be shining brightly outside the porthole window, and the magnificent scenery of the Three Gorges, but it seemed that the storm outside the illusion window had not disappeared because of the geographical leap, but instead became more violent?The entire Sleipnir was trembling in the tumbling black clouds, and he would not be surprised when the breathing mask suddenly fell in front of him in this kind of shaking.

"We haven't left Chicago yet?" Lu Mingfei turned his head to look, but he couldn't find a clock as a reference. His mobile phone was in his trouser pocket. It was really difficult for Lin Nian to touch him so much. cell phone.

"No, we've arrived." Chu Zihang's calm voice sounded from a few rows in front of the seat.

"It's a good thing you can fall asleep in this weather, Junior Brother." Nuonuo's voice also sounded from the front, but she couldn't see her.

Lu Mingfei turned his head sideways to look at the aisle of the plane, and found that almost everyone in the cabin was sticking to one side of the porthole and staring at the scene outside with bated breath. Everyone's expressions were silent and solemn, as if they were standing in front of a burning beacon tower. Soldiers.

"I went to bed late last night, but what a coincidence, it was also raining heavily in the Three Gorges." Lu Mingfei retracted his head and tried to get closer to the porthole. I glanced at the ground. Then I was dumbfounded.

—

Lu Mingfei traveled to the Three Gorges before. I still remember that during the summer vacation of junior high school, my uncle’s unit issued a quota for a business trip, and my uncle exchanged the price of two Chinese for this opportunity. The whole family plans to take this opportunity to visit the entire Three Gorges and Dam tourist attractions, and the first stop is Qutang Gorge in Fengjie County.

He clearly remembered that they traveled up by self-driving at that time. Uncle drove the small-displacement BMW with the whole family and drove thousands of kilometers from the coastal city to the Chongqing area, and found the road sign to the Qutang Gorge tourist attraction.Since they didn't follow the group, the uncle led them to find out the explanation of the tour guide who was hanging behind the tour group and who was free.

Here I ran to take a photo with the powder wall full of inscriptions, and there I went to see the place where Liu Bei Baidi City entrusted Gu Zhuge Liang. Seeing the magnificent and desperate situation, I couldn’t help but want to recite two poems but couldn’t hold back a word. She asked her good son Lu Mingze for help.Lu Mingze, who was in junior high school, had nothing in his stomach, so he could only temporarily steal Mr. Guo Moruo's "If the scenery is different, the Three Gorges is the first" on the Internet, and read it out for his uncle in front of the tour guide, he gained a lot of prestige and style. There was a series of applause, but the lady tour guide found out that they were prostitutes and groups and gave them a long look.

But generally speaking, what impressed Lu Mingfei most about that trip was that he and his uncle and his family used all their energy to climb a high mountain on both sides of the Three Gorges. The door had to step on the tourist attraction, and the uncle had been appointed by evil to go to such a bad place, but only halfway up the mountain road, the whole family almost broke their legs, and they still haven't looked at the shadow of the top of the mountain.

Along the way, my aunt was complaining that I shouldn’t save the hundreds of yuan for the cruise. What should we do if our family Narusawa suffers from heatstroke in such a big sun? I completely ignored Lu Mingfei who was carrying two big bags of cos double-faced turtles behind him. In the process of going around the mountain road, he also fell and bruised the soft tissue of his elbow. He wanted to cry but didn't dare to cry, so he climbed a mountain with his head depressed.

But until they actually climbed to the top of the mountain, the summer and autumn mountain wind poured in from the collar of Lu Mingfei's T-shirt. He put down his backpack and looked up blankly. It was much lighter at once.

The mountains seem to come up from the ground, and the peaks seem to pierce the sky.

On the towering cliffs and peaks, there are red leaves on Fragrant Mountain, clear water everywhere, and white clouds covering the top of the mountain. The green and yellow of the mountain are written with one stroke and one stroke.The long boat slowly passed through the emerald-like green river, leaving blue stone patterns on the jade surface. The two mountains sandwiched in a prosperous and desperate situation became a "gorge", the first gorge of the Three Gorges on the Yangtze River.

The Kuimen Gate of the Three Gorges in Lu Mingfei’s memory should be like this, a piece of rugged and steep jade, one can comprehend the majestic feeling of the “river and mountain” at a glance.

—

Sleipnir passed black thunderclouds, strong updrafts and downdrafts in the clouds shook the plane like it was going through an earthquake, the "fasten seat belt light" came on, but every passenger in the cabin They didn't follow suit, and they all lay down in front of the porthole and watched the shocking scene on the ground.

Kuimen of the Three Gorges was submerged.

What catches everyone's eyes is a rush of black floods, and "islands", amidst thunderstorms and heavy rain, the clear water in the past was dyed black and white by dark clouds and lightning, and the black river rolling under the thunderstorm Every time it hits the mountain wall, it is like a roaring dragon jumping out of the water, only to be engulfed by the surging waves behind it in an instant, going back and forth endlessly.

In today's Kuimen, it is even difficult to distinguish the topography of the "gorge" with the naked eye, because the high mountains that were originally interspersed with the banks have now become "small islands", leaving only sharp edges in the rushing black water of the river, and a large number of rocks have been destroyed. The unimaginable torrents washed away, fell into the river, and disappeared even without shocking too much waves.

"The local officials in Fengjie County have issued a flood notice." Susie, who was at the front of the cabin, lowered her head and slid her phone in front of the porthole. The light from the screen and the flashing thunder outside the porthole illuminated her face. Twelve hours ago, there was a torrential rainstorm. Dangerous situations occurred in many areas. Many main roads were broken due to landslides, and even disappeared directly due to rising water levels. Now the entire middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River have entered a red rainstorm warning. Authorities such as the Internet, the Yangtze River Waterway Bureau, and the Three Gorges Navigation Administration have all issued warnings of varying degrees."

"Has this amount of rain been falling for twelve hours?" Ye Sheng and Ya Ji whispered while watching the storm outside from the same porthole.

"In some areas, more than 2 mm of rain falls in two hours, which is equivalent to pouring more than 300 West Lakes directly into the Kuimen River Road within two hours." Su Qian said.

"Unprecedented torrential rain, and it still happened inland where no typhoon entered." Caesar's voice sounded, and the inside was full of sternness.

"No, there is no need for a typhoon to enter the country. Noma satellite observation shows that there are already signs of a typhoon forming over Kuimen in the Three Gorges." Nuonuo raised her mobile phone, and everyone in each row looked up at her. Seeing the aerial photos taken by the satellite, the huge white cyclone actually formed inland and blocked the further aerial photography trajectory, and indirectly blocked the pairs of "eyes" of human beings from the universe.

"Typhoon disasters caused by inland water systems are unprecedented." Jiude Yaji said softly.Under normal circumstances, typhoons are developed from disturbances in the tropical atmosphere. They are a type of tropical cyclones. They occur in large numbers over the ocean and require strict conditions to form.

"No, it's not unprecedented. Have you ever heard of the Huron Hurricane?" Nuonuo put down his phone and asked.

"The "Hurricane Huron" event in 1996 was an unprecedented spectacle on the Great Lakes." Someone answered, and the answer was actually the least wordy, and the word was like gold. She knelt on the seat and leaned her hands against the porthole. The mahogany, the calm eyes reflected the white lightning like a dragon in the black clouds.

"It is possible that a typhoon-like cyclone will form inland." Nuo Nuo stared at the black rainstorm outside the window, where the red leaves of Xiangshan Mountain could be vaguely seen, and said, "It is said that the water temperature of the five great lakes was close to the highest peak in history at that time, resulting in a powerful storm. The latent heat flux. A cut-off low pressure was generated near Lake Superior, converged with it, and finally strengthened into a cyclone with a wind speed of up to 60kt in Lake Huron, and once developed an eye-like structure and a spiral rainband.”

"But that's a lake, and our place is the flowing Yangtze River." Jiude Yaji shook his head and said.

"There is only the Saintess in the lake, but there is Lord Dragon in the river." Ye Sheng smiled wryly beside her.

Except for a few Chinese people present, most people didn't understand the meaning of this sentence, but at least they could understand the meaning of the word 'Dragon Lord', and everyone's expression gradually sank.

"Looks like Lord Dragon is going to make a big splash." Lu Mingfei heard Lin Nian beside him say so.

Lu Mingfei really didn't know if it was just a simple saying or if it really meant something, but he looked down at the stormy weather outside the window, and Sleipnir who seemed to be falling in the next second, only felt that there was something in his heart. Covered with a huge shadow, in the roaring black river in the almost disappearing canyon, it seems that there is a huge eye hidden all the time, looking up at the giant bird across the sky.

"It is impossible to get close to the center of Kuimen. The hurricane has already formed. The wind in Qutang Gorge has reached level 12. With the current level 10 wind, the Gulfstream is about to disintegrate." The front door of the cabin was opened, Manstein said. Walking into the cabin, he said in a deep voice. Every time he took a step, he needed to reach out and grab the seats on both sides to stabilize his body, so as not to be dizzy from being bumped to the top of the plane.

"Are we preparing to meet the 'Lord of Bronze and Fire' instead of the 'Lord of Sea and Water'?" Caesar stood up from his seat and walked to the aisle to help Manstein. There was no sign of instability from the bumps with the legs stuck in the aisle.

"Maybe it's the 'King of Typhoon and Thunder'." Nuonuo bit his nails and stared at the violent hurricane and rainstorm, "This has nothing to do with 'fire', right?"

"Maybe it's another power of the Dragon King? We know too little about the Dragon King." Manstein exhaled secretly, "Even the Moniach is difficult to sail in this weather. I hope that there are still some loads left on the orthodox side." 'Storm and Thunder' ships."

"A domain." Looking at the thunderstorm outside the porthole, Zero suddenly said softly, "This rainstorm is like a domain, blocking all prying eyes inside and outside."

"Field? I remember that in Chinese mythology, the Dragon King is one of the gods and beasts in charge of rain. It can create clouds and mist, and it can also overturn rivers and seas." Manstein looked at Lu Mingfei, "Lu Mingfei, do you think it is possible? Is this hurricane really related to Norton's eloquence?"

Lu Mingfei was stunned, a little at a loss, not knowing how to answer this question.

"The speech spirit controlled by Norton should not be too different from Constantine. If Lu Mingfei has seen Constantine's authority and has not found a speech spirit similar to the weather, then Norton is likely to be no exception." Lin Nian shook his head and rejected this possibility for him.

"...I have a feeling." Chu Zihang held a long knife with a black sheath and looked out of the window sideways, his golden pupils were filled with lightning flashes, "This heavy rain will continue until it drowns everything along the Yangtze River. picture."

"It's like an invitation. Before the person he wants to wait for, the rainstorm will always be eye-catching over this area like fireworks." Chu Zihang suddenly looked up and found that Lin Nian who was talking was also looking at him , Lin Nian held up the satellite photo sent by Norma on his mobile phone, the terrifying white spinning eye of the typhoon, "Maybe this is the invitation letter he sent, it is conspicuous enough, and shocking enough to match his current state of mind."

"If this is an invitation, who is it for?" Manstein asked subconsciously.

But the cabin fell into silence, and no one answered this question, because everyone had an answer in their hearts, and looked at Lin Nian and Lu Mingfei.

"Let's go back home? Wait until the rain subsides, it's not easy to land anyway." Lu Mingfei swallowed his saliva and suggested in a low voice.

"I thought you were joking. If you wait until the rain stops, then there will probably be no such place as Kuimen in the future." Caesar leaned on the seat and stood on the aisle, and pulled to the porthole on the other side to look down. , "Judging from this amount of rainfall, I am very worried about whether something will happen to the downstream section if I let it go like this."

"Downstream? Are there any towns downstream?" Jiude Yaji, who didn't quite understand the geographical distribution here, asked subconsciously.

Ye Sheng's expression changed, and he looked at his partner and reminded him in a low voice, "Do you still remember the dam we visited before the 'Kuimen Project'? You also bought a scale model of the Three Gorges Dam. 'Gap' is there."

Jiude Yaji paused for a moment, and then his face changed like Ye Sheng's, not only her, but the faces of those who understood the conversation in the entire cabin were not very good-looking.

In the distance where Sleipnir is facing, a black giant lies at the end of the raging river gorge, standing silently amidst the white light of thunder and lightning and the splashing of rainstorm. The splashed water leaves clear traces, and the water level crawls slowly towards its neck at an astonishing speed
Three Gorges Dam.

"The Three Gorges Dam is not so easy to burst. That is China's 'Millennium Project'. Even if the Hoover Dam collapses, the Three Gorges Dam will be fine. The form of the concrete gravity dam is destined to not be flooded. If the flood overflows the top of the dam, the water will only flow downstream, and it will bear the force at a right angle instead of an arch.” Manstein, who walked to the center of the aisle, shook his head and vetoed this concern.

"But if this continues, the Three Gorges Dam will overflow sooner or later. Although it is strong, its capacity is not unlimited." Susie said.

"This rain cloud cannot be dispelled by the current technological means." Manstein shook his head, "The torrential rain almost covered the entire Three Gorges area, and the continuous rain lasted for tens of kilometers!"

"Last time, Constantine threatened Kassel College. This time, Norton directly kidnapped thousands of families along the entire Yangtze River?" Caesar took a deep breath, and he felt the suffocating pressure.

This is truly a mission to save the world. If it fails, countless families and lives will be destroyed by the anger of the Dragon King. The anger roaring in the torrential rain that endangers the entire Yangtze River is undoubtedly the people in this cabin. Fill it up, fill it up, until now it's detonated.

"The rainstorm started twelve hours ago. At that time, Norton came into contact with orthodoxy. This rainstorm must have something to do with the Dragon King." Chu Zihang said, "Perhaps only by meeting him can we really start to solve the problem. .”

Lin Nian suddenly left his seat at this time, and stood in the aisle. He raised his hand and opened the storage box above his head. He reached into the storage compartment with the loudest bumping noise and pulled out a heavy black box. around.

Everyone's eyes fell on the box's dense patterns and ancient dragon inscriptions. Since that night, almost no one can't tell the simple alchemy artifacts hidden in this box.

Mythical Alchemy Combination The Seven Deadly Sins.

"We don't need to know the motive of the Dragon King. Now that we have arrived, let the pilot choose a suitable place to land nearby, and notify the 'orthodox' garrison that is still there that we have arrived." Lin Nian said slowly, holding the bronze box, "Let They arranged the preparations for the dive as soon as possible, and Lu Mingfei and I will officially take over the next work."

"But can this kind of current still dive normally?".

"It must be possible." Lin Nian said, "The weather of the 'Kuimen Project' last time was also bad. The worst case scenario is nothing more than abandoning the leash and diving with bare hands."

"That's true, only you can do it." Ye Sheng looked into the eyes of this junior, remembered the danger that time, took a deep breath and nodded vigorously, "Please!"

"Lin Nian, I can only rely on you from now on." Manstein looked at the student who had already prepared himself, his eyes burning with torches, and raised his hand in front of the heart on his chest. After a while, he seemed to be As if remembering something, he said, "There is also Lu Mingfei."

At the same time, everyone moved their eyes and landed on Lu Mingfei who was sitting on the edge of the porthole. At this moment, this guy was looking up at the seat belt light on the top of the plane and taking a deep breath, as if the next moment he It's like diving into the violent Quheijiang water and never returning.
