Chapter 107 Flash Flood
The mountain torrents poured down, destroying everything in their path.

The Xu family's house was at the foot of the mountain and was the first to be washed away.

Shi Xia, carrying Xu Danhong, only ran a few dozen meters before he was swept away by the pouring mountain torrent.

The irresistible force caused Shi Xia to sink and float in the muddy water for several seconds.

The turbid muddy water is mixed with rotten leaves, sand and wood. If a person underwater takes a breath, it will immediately block his breathing passages and cause him to suffocate to death.

Shi Xia pulled Xu Danhong's head out of the mud and water with one hand, used his supernatural power to find a place to land, and swam over with all his might.

Flash floods occur when heavy rain falls for too long, leaving the mountains bare and with little obstruction. Flash floods accumulate and burst forth, using the force of the downhill slope to destroy everything.

But it also has limitations. The water flows less and less, and it also has a range.

Shi Xia took Xu Danhong to a small hill in the village and put her there.

"My brother—Grandpa—"

Xu Danhong held down her trembling hands and had no time to cry. She just looked at the dark night with a darkness in her heart.

"If I save someone this time, and your grandfather still dares not save my grandfather, I will kill him!"

After Shi Xia said this, he turned around and threw himself into the torrent, activating all his supernatural powers to look for Grandpa Xu and Xu Danhong's younger brother.

With the help of supernatural powers, Shi Xia first found Xu Danhong's grandfather.

The old man was hanging on a tree, calling Xu Danqing's name in the dark.

Shi Xia swam over, grabbed the trembling tree trunk, and let the torrent flow past him.

"Hey—stubborn old man."

Grandpa Xu looked towards the voice and recognized it was Shi Xia.

"Save Danhong and Danqing."

"They are not my grandchildren, why should I save them?"

Shi Xia's rhetorical question was something the old man didn't expect. Wasn't this what he said during the day?

"If you save them, I'll treat your grandfather!"

"No."

Shi Xia was not in a hurry at all. She leaned against the tree and chatted with Grandpa Xu. In fact, her special ability had already found Xu Danqing, and she felt that his head was above the water and he would not die.

"Shi Xia, those are two lives!"

"You're trying to lecture me? You're a Chinese medicine practitioner who doesn't even consider saving lives as your own responsibility, yet you still have the nerve to criticize me. Also, let me remind you, the more you talk, the less time you have."

Old Man Xu tried to calmly ask, "What do you want?"

"Become my family's personal doctor. From now on, if my family has a headache or a fever, you must be there. Don't refuse, and don't complain."

Shi Xia didn't feel embarrassed at all for taking advantage of others' misfortune.

She wanted to be polite, but Mr. Xu didn't buy it. So she was even better at threatening people.

"it is good!"

Mr. Xu said hello, and Shi Xia swam past him.

"Hold on."

Shi Xia disappeared into the night, quickly found Xu Danqing, and took him back to the big tree that Xu Laozi was holding.

Next, Shi Xia first sent Xu Danqing to find Xu Danhong, and then went back to pick up Grandpa Xu.

Only after all three people were rescued did Shi Xia have time to inspect the entire flash flood situation.

Mr. Xu's house was the first to be hit and was completely destroyed. The houses behind it were hit by the slowing mountain torrents, but at least the outline of the house was still there and it did not collapse.

The mountain torrent carved out a path by itself, and a lot of water flowed into the big river behind the village.

At this time, the villagers who could climb onto the roof went up to the roof, and those who could climb onto the trees went up to the trees.

Many belongings and livestock in the yard were washed away, and waves of crying and distressed sounds came from every corner.

But apart from crying, there was no other way.

Shi Xia ignored these people and used her special abilities to search in the muddy mountain torrent. If she came across someone who fell into the mountain torrent, she would help lift them up so that they could find something to hold onto to steady themselves and wait for rescue.

The supernatural power followed the mountain torrents towards the river. The surging river beat against the coast, and the mud and sand on the embankment became loose. With each beating, the mud and sand were carried away, and the embankment became shorter and thinner.

"Is there a village downstream of the river?"

"Yes!" Xu Danhong was the quickest to respond. "There's a reservoir down there. It was built during the drought a few years ago. There are several villages down there."

Reservoir?

Shi Xia has a headache.

"You guys go to higher ground and settle down. I'll go check downstream. I'm afraid the reservoir can't hold up."

"My home is on Haisan Island. My name is Shixia. If you wait until you find someone settled, you can leave first. Don't forget our agreement."

Shi Xia stared at Mr. Xu.

"Don't worry, I, an old man, always keep my word."

"It better be this way."

Otherwise I will let you see why the flowers are so red!

Shi Xia asked Xu Danhong for directions in detail and asked where he could call the police.

It is unrealistic for her to save everyone by herself. If the dam really breaks and a flood occurs, the troops will definitely come.

After asking for permission, Shi Xia jumped into the torrent and disappeared.

Xu Danhong's heart was in her throat, and she prayed helplessly to all the gods and Buddhas in the sky.

Be sure to return safely!

Shi Xia floated downstream, his whole body rising and falling in the murky water.

Soon, she arrived at the reservoir.

The sound of rain, human voices, and shouts.

It turned out that the troops had arrived a long time ago and were stabilizing the embankment.

They carried bag after bag of sand on their shoulders, stepped on it and pulled it out from the soft mud and sand, braving the wind and rain, one after another to block the embankment.

"Comrades—the time has come for the Party and the people to test us!"

“As long as the people are there, the levee will remain!”

"Comrades, kill him!"

The loud speaker roared, and the spiritual power was filled up.

Shi Xia didn't know how long these soldiers had been there, but judging from the blood on their shoulders, the spots on their palms, and their forbearing and desperate looks, Shi Xia judged that it must have been a long time.

She wanted to help, but she couldn't just make the water disappear.

Even if she wanted to, she couldn't do it with her current abilities.

Moreover, she didn't know the layout of the village below, so even if she wanted to divert the water, she didn't know the direction.

Shi Xia decided to investigate the terrain first.

She came out from an inconspicuous corner and ran towards the village downstream, hoping that these soldiers could hold on a little longer.

Villages downstream.

"Auntie, there's no time, we have to go!"

"No, my sheep—I won't go!"

"My furniture and house are gone. What's the point of me leaving? I'm not leaving!"

Such voices are heard everywhere. The army and the government have been persuading the villagers to evacuate, but there are always some people who are reluctant to give up this and greedy for that, delaying the retreat.

"Comrade, what are you doing? Do you know that our soldiers are risking their lives to defend the dike? Every second you delay increases their chances of sacrifice!"

"He's someone else's son, a teenager. Is he going to sacrifice his life just for your locker?"

Some people tried to persuade him, some scolded him, and some forced him to be carried away.

The evacuation downstream was underway. Shi Xia ran at the fastest speed for a long time, but found that there was no drainage location.

There are mountains on both sides, and several villages are located in the valley.

The river can't flow upstream!
Just as she was frowning and thinking hard, three military vehicles arrived and a group of soldiers jumped off them quickly and orderly.

Shi Xia took a look.
