Chapter 161 No One Everywhere
Fortunately, the villagers usually pay great attention to the various facilities in the village. The drainage facilities were completed a few years ago. There was not much water on the road and the water receded quickly.
The crops in the fields have been harvested and the losses are not great.
Only a few villagers who went out to check the greenhouse at night have not been heard from since.
Fan Jingfei organized five teams to go out and search, but the water was too high.
They got nothing.
The villagers didn't expect the rain to be so heavy. The vegetables planted in the greenhouses are their winter source of income, and they were worried that too much water would enter the greenhouses, so they went to check.
They had gone out on rainy days before and nothing had happened. They thought the rain would be the same as before and didn't expect it to suddenly become so heavy.
Thunder and lightning flashed one after another, splitting the sky, and the rain fell directly onto the earth as if there was a hole in the sky.
This rain was smaller than the one Yang Zengyue had experienced in his previous life, as if it had not taken enough time to brew.
It is also possible that after they alerted the enemy, the other party took action in advance without being 100% sure.
That is why there are changes between the previous life and this life.
Chen Jiaer also has a deep memory of that rain, no one can forget it.
She said to Yang Zengyue, "Sister Zengyue, this rain is not as heavy as that one, and it didn't last as long. I remember that rain lasted a whole night and a whole day."
The city became the ocean.
She hid in her 30-story home, looking at the vast city, and she can still remember the despair in her heart.
Yang Zengyue was in Beining at that time. After the heavy rain, she lay on a piece of driftwood and found a relatively stable building to stay in.
A man endured the pain of forging his body with supernatural powers and went without food for three days and three nights.
Fortunately, she found two bottles of water in that place, otherwise she would have died in Beining.
Yang Zengyue and Chen Jiaer whispered quietly, "Could this be our chance? The other side isn't well prepared, and there's definitely too much time to do."
After being busy for a while, Jiuxiao and Zhi Baixiao sat on a stone bench by the roadside to rest.
The two old men were feeling rather heavy-hearted. Zhi Baixiao's voice was somewhat vicissitudes of life: "Ninth Brother, although nothing was destroyed in the village, it's because the drainage is well done. What about outside?"
They can't get out at all now.
The road out of the village is still flooded, so you have to use a rubber boat to get out.
Chen Jiaer bought several boats, and she and Yang Zengyue planned to go out and take a look at them at dawn.
The most important thing now is to help the villagers rescue the things on the first floor.
Because almost all of their food is stored on the first floor, in this situation, food is the most important thing if they want to survive.
Yang Zengyue, Jiuxiao and several other people, as well as the villagers, worked all night long.
Finally, all the collapsed and blocked areas were cleared before dawn.
They managed to snatch some food, and also fished out some that were floating on the water.
Wait for the water to recede, put it on the top floor to dry, and it is still edible.
However, the villagers are very optimistic. If the food becomes inedible, they can just go to the town to buy more.
At least you won't starve to death.
After dawn, when Fan Jingfei wanted to contact the power supply station, he found that his cell phone had no signal at all.
Although the signal was not good before, it was still connected. But now there is no signal at all.
It is very likely that the flood has damaged the nearby base station. In this case, they will have to go to the town to check the situation.
Fan Jingfei asked the villagers not to go out for the time being. He took a few people out to take a look and wait for him to come back.
The villagers already realized the seriousness of the matter because the river water did not recede after overnight and instead showed a tendency to cross the warning line.
There's something wrong with this situation.
This also shows that the rain upstream is even heavier than here.
Moreover, the rain upstream has not stopped yet!
The old people in the village also came out and felt strange when they saw the river water.
Jiuxiao asked the elderly to go back home, tidy up their things, and put everything in a convenient place.
Because they don’t know whether the rain will come again. If it comes again, their houses will probably be damaged.
The old people obeyed Jiuxiao's words.
Yang Zengyue told Luo Haobai to pay attention to the movements around him. If there was anything unusual, don't be curious and look. Just record the location of the abnormality and deal with it when she came back.
Fan Jingfei, Fan Jinggang, Chen Jiaer and Yang Zengyue left the village.
When they reached the edge of the village, water blocked their way.
Chen Jiaer was thrown out of the rubber boat directly.
Fan Jingfei and Fan Jinggang were frightened. Chen Jiaer narrowed her eyes and smiled, "Let's go. I prepared this boat a long time ago."
Fan Jingfei decided not to ask her where she got such a big boat from. Fan Jinggang had already guessed it.
Yang Zengyue and Chen Jiaer pushed the rubber boat onto the water, jumped on it, started it, and headed straight to the town with the Fan brothers.
Chen Jiaer held a camera in her hand. She planned to take pictures of the scenes along the way and compare them with her original photos.
The four of them went directly to the power supply station.
However, the streets were strangely empty.
There was only the sound of running water.
There was not a single person in the power supply station. There was a layer of water inside and some floating objects. It looked clean, as if they had just tidied up the office before get off work the previous day and no one was there the next day.
Fan Jinggang's heart skipped a beat.
Did the disaster that Yang Zengyue, Jiuxiao and others predicted come true?
He hurriedly said to Chen Jiaer, "Miss Chen, can the boat go forward?"
Chen Jiaer nodded and drove the boat forward along the original road.
When they got to the street, Fan Jinggang and Fan Jingfei found that the shops were all in the same state as they had been after closing yesterday, with the doors locked tightly.
Even in places where there are usually a lot of people, no one came out.
Fortunately, the water on the street was not too deep, so the Fan Jinggang brothers got off the boat and went to a friend's house, but no one answered when they knocked on the door.
Fan Jinggang then climbed over the wall and entered the yard, while Chen Jiaer jumped in directly carrying Fan Jingfei.
Yang Zengyue followed closely behind.
After Fan Jingfei landed, he didn't know what was going on until he saw the situation in the yard.
No one.
Not only was there no one in the entire house, but all the food, machinery, and electronic equipment had been "looted."
It looked like a robbery.
But nothing was left broken, and the yard and the house were clean except for the water.
Fan Jinggang frowned and asked Yang Zengyue, "Manyue, the disaster that Master Jiuxiao said is coming, right?"
Yang Zengyue nodded, "Apart from this, I can't think of any other reason that could cause this phenomenon."
Although the flood can wash away some people, there will always be one or two people who survive. It is impossible that there is no one left.
Yang Zengyue sighed inwardly and said to Fan Jinggang, "Brother Jinggang, let's go to the supermarket and see if we can find something to take back."
The four went to several supermarkets in the town and found that all the supplies were missing.
There was not even a single baby diaper left. This strange situation scared the two brothers Fan Jinggang.
Fan Jinggang tugged at Yang Zengyue's sleeve: "Manyue, how could everything be gone? Who stole it?"
Yang Zengyue was helpless: "Brother Jinggang, who do you think has the ability to steal so many things in one night?"
Fan Jinggang remembered the formation he saw in the underground palace. If he used the local dialect, it should work!
"Yes, it's using a formation, right?"
Yang Zengyue nodded and shook his head: "It should be, but we can't be sure."
So what if it’s confirmed?
Those things can't be taken back.
Seeing the empty shelves and warehouses, Fan Jingfei was so frightened that he sat on the ground, his mouth filled with disbelief and fear: "Gangzi, Gangzi, where did all these things go?"
"Also, and where are the people?"
The things are gone, and the people are gone too.
The flood did not sweep through the town; it was impossible for everything to be swept away.
If it was washed away by water, there would be many traces, but this town is spotless, as if it had just been cleaned.
The food was gone, the vegetables, the meat, the poultry, all gone. Without these things, it would be difficult for them to survive.
The little food they grow and the animals they raise can only last through this year at best. If this situation continues for a long time, they may only survive until next summer at the latest.
"Brother, I can't answer this question. Let's go back first." Fan Jinggang replied bitterly.
In contrast, Yang Zengyue and Chen Jiaer looked calm, and Fan Jinggang felt that his psychological endurance was still not strong enough.
The four of them did not go any further and drove the boat back to the village.
When the villagers were told about the situation in the town, they were very surprised.
They don't believe it.
Everyone fell silent until Chen Jiaer played the footage from the camera.
Fan Jinggang's grandfather tapped his pipe on a stone and said, "Jingfei, Gangzi, take the boat out to the city this afternoon and take a look at the surrounding towns to see if the situation is the same."
"Also, bring back any food you find." This was the first thing Fan Jinggang's grandfather thought of.
Jiuxiao added: "Let Zengyue go with you, and bring more young people."
The villagers returned home one after another, and it was time to eat breakfast. Their current food reserves could keep them alive until next spring.
Don’t even think about chicken, duck, fish, or anything like that for now.
Save your life first.
After breakfast, the villagers gathered at the house that Yang Zengyue had rented before.
Jiuxiao was waiting here for them to discuss things together. They had to figure out how the village would survive in the future and how much food everyone had.
We will have to wait until Fan Jingfei and the others come back to know the situation outside.
Now there is no electricity, no internet, and no information, so they can only save themselves.
Fortunately, the villagers had grown some food before, such as sweet potatoes, corn, and some rice, so they could last for a while.
Yang Zengyue asked Bai Zheng to patrol the sky. After last night, she was suddenly able to communicate with Bai Zheng and learned some information.
After Bai Zheng returned, Yang Zengyue learned that except for the village where she lived, which was barely preserved, all other villages near Sikun Mountain were deserted and all supplies had disappeared.
Yang Zengyue told Jiuxiao the news.
Everything that is happening now is consistent with her memory, except that the time is earlier.
Next they have to face a long and harsh winter, which is the most difficult part.
After experiencing ultra-low temperatures of dozens of degrees below zero, the survivors' special abilities will gradually emerge.
This process is very long.
Some survivors may not be able to endure the pain.
Yang Zengyue had previously researched some medicines with his master and also purchased a large amount of Chinese patent medicines, hoping that they could help reduce the physical pain of the surviving villagers.
But how many people can survive?
That snow was extraordinary.
What Yang Zengyue is worried about now is that the end of the world will come earlier, so will the arrival of superpowers also come earlier?
If it happens earlier, can these villagers survive?
The young people who were out had no mood to talk, but Chen Jiaer was taking notes.
Yang Zengyue folded his hands and looked at the water, not knowing what he was thinking.
Only Chen Jiaer understood her worries, but there was nothing they could do.
Fan Jinggang moved to Yang Zengyue's side: "Manyue, what should we do next?"
Yang Zengyue had originally closed his eyes, listening to the sounds around him. He opened his eyes when he heard Fan Jinggang's words: "After returning from Nandian, we will probably have to stay indoors. However, this depends on the situation in Nandian."
Fan Jinggang: "No, why don't you go to Nanyuan, which is even farther away, to find out the situation?"
Yang Zengyue shook his head: "There's no point in going there. It's probably no different from here. This incident isn't just happening around Sikun Mountain, it's sweeping across the entire planet."
After saying this, Yang Zengyue closed his eyes again.
Fan Jinggang looked at the water and felt that there seemed to be no hope for the future.
…
Jiuxiao and the village elders were discussing countermeasures. Fan Jinggang's grandfather asked, "Master Jiuxiao, when you reminded us to save something, did you predict this outcome?"
Jiuxiao nodded, then shook his head: "The fortune sticks at Xingyun Temple predicted a disaster, but I don't know what kind of disaster it will be."
After returning from Nanyuan, Jiuxiao took a day off to go to the village and give vaccinations to the elderly villagers.
Ask them to tell the younger generations in their family to buy food and dry goods and keep them at home, and buy as much as they can.
I believe that almost all the villagers in Jiuxiao bought enough food for a year and stored it at home. Some of those who didn't believe it so much only bought enough food for two or three months, and now they are regretting it.
When Fan Jinggang's grandfather saw that several villagers looked unhappy, he knew that they did not believe Jiuxiao's words.
I guess not much food was bought.
There is not much food left in the fields now. Apart from some sweet potatoes that have not been harvested yet, there are only potatoes that were planted not long ago and will not be harvested until next year.
But after this flood, it is a big question whether the potatoes can be harvested.
Although Jiuxiao and the others have food and will definitely give some to the villagers when the time comes, this is not a long-term solution.
After learning that everything was gone, Fan Jinggang's grandfather knew that future planting would become a big problem.
That is, they have no seeds.
The only vegetables that can be saved for seeds are some vegetables, the most important of which are rice and wheat. They are all high-yield varieties that cannot be bred by ourselves.
That is to say, next year, there will be no grain seeds to plant, and they will have no way out.
How long do sweet potatoes and potatoes last?
Also, is the state machinery still functioning? If not, how can ordinary people like them survive on their own?
The older generation in the village had a deep impression of the famine and never expected to experience it again in their lifetime.
Thinking of this, Luo Haobai finally understood why Yang Zengyue and the other person stored so many grain seeds. This was something he would know later.
The villagers sat quietly, waiting for the young people to go out.
I hope they can bring back good news.
