Chapter 227 Flooded

The rain continued for two weeks, occasionally stopping for half a day, and the rain was sometimes heavy and sometimes light.

I heard before that the two planting areas in AC were flooded by the backflow of river water, and the lords of area B are still very confident about the terrain of their own territory.

Unexpectedly, when I woke up, I suddenly found that the river water had risen sharply overnight, overflowed the bridge and overflowed the river bank, and several territories downstream were devastated.

As for other territories, those with high terrain are slightly better off, but those with low terrain have puddles at their doorsteps.

Zhao Xiaoxiu was awakened by the "squeaky" screams of Monkey Sister.

The turbid river water overflowed and directly connected to the pond, and the mutant black-backed fish raised in the pond started a frenzy to escape from the pond.

Peter Pan, the administrator, was slow to react and was sleeping soundly at the bottom of the pond. Instead, it was Monkey Sister who first noticed that something was wrong and shouted to alert everyone.

The heavy rain was still falling, and the raindrops hit the exceptionally lush grass with a crackling sound. The grass sensed people approaching and retreated to both sides - the big and small kings of the house were coming, so get out of the way quickly!

Zhao Gang took his daughter with him. The father and daughter each took a net bag and a bucket, put on raincoats and rain boots, and ran out of the house.

Zhao Gang thought, those are all food for the cubs, no one is allowed to escape!
Zhao Xiaoxiu thought to herself, those are all points. If they all flowed away in the river, she would be so heartbroken that she would not be able to breathe!
When the Meng family's mother and son, as well as Xiwa, heard the noise, they also put on their raincoats and ran to the river.

Fortunately, there were many people and only one blackback fish escaped. The rest were all caught and filled several large buckets.

"We don't know when the river water will recede, so let's take the fish back first," said Zhao Gang.

Everyone agreed and hurried home to take shelter from the rain, carrying the blackback fish they had caught.

Although the rain that carried the virus was blocked by raincoats, the air was full of the smell of rain. Everyone was a little scared and tried to hide whenever possible.

Only Zhao Xiaoxiu and his daughter were left by the water. Peter Pan realized later that he seemed to have not fulfilled his responsibilities as an administrator, and circled around the father and daughter.

It spits out many small suspended bubbles, wraps the falling rain inside, lets them slowly fall to the ground, bursts when they touch the ground, and creates crystal flowers.

Zhao Xiaoxiu hummed twice, stretched out her fingers and popped several bubbles in succession, letting the raindrops inside fall on her fingertips, which was very relaxing.

Don't be angry. Receiving this message in his mind, Zhao Xiaoxiu couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth.

She didn't mean to blame the stupid fish in front of her at all, she was just worried about the river water rushing in front of her.

The river water backflowed, and the water level in the pond rose rapidly. Now, looking down from a high place, the entire east side of Territory No. 13 has become a swamp. And the water level has a tendency to continue to rise.

Fortunately, the house is located on relatively high ground, so there is no need to worry about the water flooding and submerging the plantation for the time being.

Just as Zhao Xiaoxiu was thinking this, she heard Grandma Meng calling out from the door.

The planting site was soaked!

Well, Zhao Xiaoxiu quickly patted Peter Pan and let it play by itself, and rushed to the planting site with his father, dug a canal to clear the water, and diverted the rainwater to the low-lying areas and into the swamp.

After a busy morning, we finally resolved the crisis of the plantation being soaked. We went home covered in mud and took a hot bath.

Xiwa lived in an empty house next door. He had no ready-made hot water and there was no electricity in the house. So he shamelessly went to Zhao Xiaoxiu's house to use the water heater and took a hot bath.

After finishing the work, he covered himself up tightly with a raincoat and rain hat, revealing only a pair of grateful eyes. He stood at the door, looking at the heavy rain outside, and sighed softly:

"I can't imagine what I'll face if I stay with the people from the alliance during the rainy season this year." A group of people without a base, no place to live, and no sufficient supplies, have to fight against crazy mutated animals and plants. Ordinary people like him who don't have evolutionary potions are probably destined to be cannon fodder.

Not to mention taking a hot shower, standing safely under a solid roof, watching the rain, and lamenting the fate of others.

In the afternoon, Mo Shigui led the patrol team of soldiers, walking on a road where the water was deep enough to cover the backs of their feet, to check the conditions of the plantations of the various lords. Seeing that the crops were fine, he reminded everyone to be more careful at night.

"We have discovered quite a few signs of mutant animal activity in the North District. These weather-crazed mutant animals are likely to rush into the planting area in search of food."

Seeing that the low-lying land east of Zhao Xiaoxiu's house had turned into a swamp, Mo Shigui solemnly reminded: "We must also pay special attention to the mutants in the water. Those aquatic creatures usually don't come ashore. Once they come ashore, they can pose a greater threat than the mutants in the mountains and forests."

"Be careful!" Before leaving, Mo Shigui patted Zhao Gang on the shoulder, expressing his confidence in his strength.

By the way, I also asked if Zhao Gang had the possibility of selling the evolution potion again.

Zhao Gang said nothing. He put on his raincoat and escorted the man out of the territory, waving: "Goodbye."

Mo Shigui snorted speechlessly. The other lords might not know how many evolution potions Zhao Gang had in his hands, but he knew it very well.

Those evolution potions are definitely enough to take the strength of his patrol station brothers to a higher level.

Unfortunately, Zhao Gang didn't seem to want to sell, so Mo Shigui could only suppress his disappointment and take his men away.

He is now busier than anyone else in the territory. The plantation is the first attempt of Hope Base in all these years.

In the past, due to various reasons, we could only envy the self-sufficiency of the Taoyuan base.

He has finally managed to hold on until now and has harvested potatoes and rapeseed. The breeding steps in the plantation are beginning to show results. If they are ruined by the rainy season, then his job will be over.

The patrol station has to guard not only against crazy mutants, but also against humans.

The resources in the disaster world are limited. In addition to the survivors of several major bases, there are also wandering survivors whose number far exceeds that of the base residents.

Mo Shigui didn't care how many wandering survivors there were in other areas because it was not his turn to worry about it.

He just needs to keep a close eye on the Green Alliance near Taoyuan Base and Hope Base.

This alliance, composed of dozens of wandering survivor groups of various sizes, has been coveting Jiangcheng and Taoyuan Wall for a long time.

Previously, they had been gathering in a dependent manner on the outskirts of the Hope Base, forming a chaotic shantytown.

Jiangcheng now looks better than the previous Hope Base, so no one can guarantee what these people will do under the pressure of the rainy season.

The patrol team stepped up inspections and protection of the planting area, and Zhao Xiaoxiu's family was also not idle.

After being reminded by Mo Shigui, everyone realized the potential danger of the swamp and planned to set up a protective net.

It is not intended to stop the mutants from coming ashore, but just to serve as a buffer and reminder.

The most common materials at home were ropes and wood, so under Xiwa's guidance, everyone weaved a few rope nets, drove wooden stakes around the swamp, hung the nets on them, and then hung bells that could make sounds on the nets to make a simple protective net.

With the net, if any aquatic creatures come ashore at night, it will trigger an alarm, and everyone can detect the danger and deal with it in time.
