Chapter 19 Thunderstorm
Next to the big iron pot are baskets of large white flour steamed buns. At this moment, the lids of the baskets are opened and the wheat aroma continues to spread with the steam.
In addition to pork stewed with cabbage and large steamed buns, there were also large pots of white rice and white noodles, as well as large plates of stir-fried vegetables.
After washing their hands, people come to line up. When it is their turn, they take a large bowl and scoop a bowl, then grab two big steamed buns, or scoop some rice or noodles, and then find a place, squat or sit, slurp the food, chat and laugh with each other while eating, and the air is full of cheerful atmosphere.
Time passed quietly, and in the blink of an eye it was night.
The bustling construction site returned to silence, and people returned to their cabins to rest.
In the jungle, there was a rustling sound of wind and the roars of insects or wild beasts, including some low tiger roars.
Tiger roar?
Zhou Cheng suddenly remembered the tiger he encountered when he was alone in Yangjiagou.
Today, human beings are in extreme decline, and the number of various wild animals is increasing rapidly.
The presence of a tiger proves that this is a tiger habitat and there may be more tigers.
but……
At this moment, there are more than a thousand people in Yangjiagou, and all of their personnel live in steel houses, so wild beasts cannot get in.
Besides, there are high-power searchlights and armed night watchmen at night, and they have real guns in their hands.
During the day, there are also special armed personnel guarding the safety of the construction site.
Even if an elephant comes, it can be knocked down.
This should be nothing to worry about.
But even so, the roar of the beast made Zhou Cheng feel a little nervous. The little monkey squeaked twice and moved closer to Zhou Cheng.
Quietly feeling this night that no longer belonged to humans but to nature and birds and beasts, Zhou Cheng fell asleep.
Time passed quietly, and in the busy atmosphere, the excavation work progressed rapidly.
With the addition of professional archaeological team members, more information about the Yangjiagou tribe was deciphered from those pottery jars, jade artifacts, bronze artifacts and other artifacts that Zhou Cheng could not discover at all.
But so far, Zhou Cheng has not found the common point that may have caused the Yangjiagou tribe to be attacked in the same way as human civilization at this moment.
Five days passed quietly under such circumstances.
The sky was always overcast, but no raindrops fell.
It was late at night. Zhou Cheng had fallen asleep but was woken up by someone.
Turning on the light, he saw Sun Tian looking at him nervously.
"Director Xiao Zhou, it's starting to rain outside. Should we do something about it?"
rain?
Zhou Cheng sat up instantly.
Following Sun Tian out of the wooden house, I looked up at the sky and suddenly the sky and the earth became bright, like the rising sun.
The light was fleeting, leaving only a few shadows on the retina. Before my vision could recover, a loud thunderclap was heard in the sky.
The earth shook.
The originally tiny raindrops suddenly grew larger.
A strong wind blew, and the sound of steel plates being scraped could be heard from the construction site. I wonder if they had fallen off.
Zhou Cheng still remembers what Professor Wang Liyun once told him.
If soaked by rain, the areas that have been dug up are very likely to be affected by the rain, and many clues may disappear and can never be recovered.
There are rain shelters covering the important excavation sites, but considering the current weather, I don’t know if they can withstand the rain.
You have to be cautious.
Without hesitation, he rushed into the duty room in two steps and pressed the alarm hard.
The shrill alarm sounded throughout the construction site, and the doors of the wooden houses opened one by one.
"The rain is getting heavy. Protect the scene and follow the plan!"
“Hurry, hurry, hurry!”
Under the searchlights, more than a thousand disheveled construction team members and archaeological team members rushed out and rushed to different excavation sites according to the plan.
Under the gloomy sky, boundless darkness enveloped the entire earth, with only some light at the excavation site of the Yangjiagou ruins.
The dense jungle was filled with shadows, seemingly hiding countless unknown beings. In the distance, the rolling mountains lay quietly on the ground, like monsters.
Armed with tarps, hammers, and steel nails, people frantically reinforced the awning amidst the torrential downpour. Excavators, previously dormant, roared again, frantically digging drainage channels. Archaeologists in better health, such as Wang Liyun, were working in the excavation pits, desperately trying to salvage the artifacts that could be excavated.
Sitting in a wheelchair, looking at the people busy under the light of the searchlight, Zheng Yunong sighed deeply.
Not to mention the peak era of human civilization, even thirty or forty years ago, how could such a situation occur at an archaeological excavation site?
A complete weather forecast system eliminates the possibility of sneak attacks from severe weather.
Even if we encounter bad weather, the powerful engineering team has already prepared to deal with any possible accidents.
There is no way.
Without weather forecasts and sufficient engineering manpower, this is the only way.
Rumble...
Another thunderclap resounded through the sky.
"The wind is too strong! The awning is about to collapse!"
In the chaos, a shout came from somewhere and everyone rushed to fix the support rods and steel nails.
"The drainage ditch is too narrow, widen it, widen it!"
Two excavators rushed over in the heavy rain.
The searchlights that illuminated the construction site suddenly went out.
The bustling construction site suddenly fell silent. The next moment, a heart-wrenching voice rang out: "The power lines are blown down!"
Zhou Cheng yelled, "Everyone, calm down! Shen Gong, repair the line!"
The engineer in charge of the electrical system stumbled over with a few people.
Boundless anxiety filled people's hearts.
Sun Tian, who has recently been assigned to security duties, is also busy with his gun on his back.
But, with a flash of lightning and the sudden brightness between heaven and earth, he saw something unusual out of the corner of his eye.
About 100 meters east of the construction site, a huge creature covered with dark yellow fur lay there quietly, as if sizing up the busy people.
That's a... tiger.
Sun Tian felt his hair stand on end. His aging heart began to beat violently and uncontrollably.
On a rainy night, chaos reigned. If this ferocious tiger had rushed into the construction site, who knows how much chaos it would have caused, how many people would have been injured or killed, and how much damage would have been inflicted.
We can't let this tiger charge over.
If you destroy this place, then there will be no hope for my child to be born.
He released his grip on the support frame and stepped forward quickly, raising his gun.
People in their twilight years, especially those who have often left the cradle, all have good marksmanship.
Most people who don’t have good marksmanship die at the hands of various ferocious beasts.
Sun Tian had encountered tigers before, not just one, but two, and he only used four bullets to kill those two tigers.
At this moment, there was darkness in the sight.
