Chapter 97 Natural Disaster
The village has organized a flood fighting team. The water in the two moat rivers in the east and west of Canghe City has exceeded the warning level. The city has organized young and middle-aged men from districts and villages along the river embankment to go to the river embankment day and night to guard.

Zhang Lan's mother called Zhang Lan's aunt. Zhang Lan's uncle was stacking sandbags on the river embankment. Now the river water there is less than one meter away from overflowing the river embankment. Now the lights on the river embankment are brightly lit at night, day and night. There are people patrolling back and forth all the time.

The Canghe Reservoir's spillway is now flowing outwards. The reason why it has not been released downwards is that Canghe City can no longer bear it.

Although the river has been renovated since last year, the rain this year has been too heavy.And it’s been raining for too long.Now the windows on the back wall of Zhang Lan's house have begun to seep water into the house.

In the words of Zhang Lan's father, the rain soaked through the red brick walls of the house.

Now the situation in Canghe City is getting more and more urgent.Fortunately, after several days of continuous rain, it started to clear up for two days.But now all the large and small reservoirs in the mountainous areas are full. If there is another rain, there will basically be no water storage capacity.

Canghe City is located downstream of Xiangshi City, and the current situation in Xiangshi City is not optimistic. There is widespread water accumulation on the roads in the north ring of Xiangshi City, and some places are even thigh-deep.

After two days of clear skies, something no one wanted to see happened. The weather forecast was for heavy rainfall for several consecutive days, which made everyone's nerves tense.

At the old house, Zhang Lan directly unplugged the power cord from the motor shaft in the courtyard.Now the water in the well was pouring out directly from the wellhead. Zhang Lan checked the underground sewers, and as expected, they were all full.

The river in front of the yard is almost flush with the road. This is a small reservoir in the mountain to the west that is releasing floods. Village cadres and party members are on duty day and night, and all the households by the river have been cleared out.

Most of the city's urban areas now have water accumulation, and people have begun to move out of some low-lying areas.The rescue information in the rescue group has begun to flood the screen.

Except for the river, other parts of Qingshan Village were not affected due to the terrain.After talking to his parents, Zhang Lan drove to the city and started participating in the rescue.

During the day, he followed the rescue team to evacuate the residents in low-lying areas of the city. At night, he began to quietly patrol the two moats alone.Use magic to fill the holes and leaks in the river embankment one by one, and use magic to quietly reinforce the dangerous places that are about to collapse.

Canghe City is known as a thousand-year-old ancient city due to the existence of two moats and the dredging of the moats that started last year.After several days of heavy rain, the water level in the city finally stopped rising after the roads in the main areas were filled with water up to the thighs. It was considered a safe passage.

The weather is starting to clear up and no further rain is forecast for the next few days.After several days of non-stop rescue, Zhang Lan finally breathed a sigh of relief.I am going to retrieve the Wrangler that I drove to high ground and go home to have a look.

Driving back home, Zhang Lan's mother was very concerned. Although she had been communicating by phone, the heavy rains in the last few days had caused flash floods and landslides, causing widespread power outages in the entire mountainous area.Now the roads in the mountainous areas have been washed away, and some villages were disconnected when it rained before.

Zhang Lan's bottled water factory has stopped working, and the factory is leaking everywhere.My mother asked someone to cover the machine with a plastic raincoat, and planned to wait for the weather to clear up for a while before starting work. Now she is preparing to replace some of the iron tiles on the roof.At around ten o'clock in the evening, when Zhang Lan was looking at her phone and preparing to take a rest, Cai Yong, the captain of the love rescue group, kept sending out emergency rescue messages and texting everyone.

Zhang Lan opened the WeChat group and saw that the group was in chaos.Shanglin Village, which is next to the moat on the edge of the urban area, has now been flooded into the village, and the entire village has been flooded.On the street of the vegetable wholesale market, which is the lowest in the village, the deepest point of the flood has reached the roof of the first floor of the house.Everyone is rushing there now.

Zhang Lan hurriedly got dressed, talked to her mother, and then drove to Shanglin Village.While driving on the road, I asked in the group: "Where did such a huge flood come from? Why is there no news at all?"

No one knows the specific information. The only thing they know is that Shanglin Village was quickly besieged by floods, and most of the people in the village have not yet moved.

Driving to the vicinity of Shanglin Village, I saw bright lights in the distance and various construction machinery and vehicles roaring in motion.Zhang Lan found a place out of the way and parked the car, put on a reflective vest, picked up a flashlight and rescue rope and walked forward.

The entire village has now lost power, and the current lights are powered by generators.Zhang Lan turned on the flashlight and waved it around. There were bright yellow and reflective floods everywhere.

After discussing with several rescue team members who arrived, Zhang Lan's heart dropped.The rescue supplies were too scarce, with only one assault boat and four or five kayaks.Now, mainly under the leadership of villagers who are familiar with the road conditions, they first use forklifts and large trucks to move the trapped residents in shallow water.As for the vegetable wholesale market street where the flood is the deepest, Murakami cadres are now sitting on an assault boat using a loudspeaker to rescue people while instructing residents to hide on the roof first.

The entire charity rescue team only has two kayaks and is already carrying out rescue operations.Zhang Lan looked at the people coming to rescue from all directions, talked to the team members, and then turned around and left.

Zhang Lan returned to the car, took off his reflective vest, and put back the rescue supplies he brought with him.Then he locked the car door and quietly started to drive towards the village.

Avoiding the noisy crowd, we waded through the water to a dark place.After stopping and listening to the fact that there was no one around, a panel appeared in front of Zhang Lan's eyes, and his merit began to decline rapidly.

A ray of light enveloped Zhang Lan's figure, and then a figure emerged.Zhang Lan silently recited 'Spiritual Nine Heavens', 'God's Body Protection', 'Lotus Magic', 'Indigo Sea', 'Tornado Rain Strike'. As the ribbon between his arms waved, Zhang Lan rolled up a stream of water to wrap around his figure. , then the ribbon continued to wave, and thin invisible streams of water began to explore around the village.

Zhang Lan wanted to investigate and see where the flood came from.As for rescuing people, it's summer now, and most people haven't rested since ten o'clock. So many people have already arrived at the scene. If it weren't for the lack of transportation and rescue tools, the rescue would have basically been completed.So now Zhang Lan is looking to see where the flood came from and whether it will continue to expand.Also, are there any residents who live alone or who go to bed early and are besieged by the floods?

After a while, Zhang Lan discovered an old scavenger who was trapped in a tin house. After checking the old man's situation, a small stream of light red water containing the aura of 'saving all living beings' quickly moved towards him. Flow away from the old man.
