It's not that they are kind-hearted and want to go to the city of Bato below the mountain to rescue people. In fact, everyone knows that after missing the golden 72 hours of rescue, rescuing people now will be almost useless. Besides, they can't save many people with just a few people. Rescue work like this requires a large force to be effective.
Not to mention that this is the Philippines. Even if Yang Jing has the ability to save people, he doesn't have the heart to do so! If he has that time, he might as well see if the road leading to the north is still passable.
The most important thing is that Yang Jing and his men knew that the entire Barto was beyond saving. Not to mention Barto, even in Bilak, seven kilometers to the west, there were probably not many people who could survive. People who had not seen the tsunami with their own eyes could not understand the horror of such a super tsunami. Under such a powerful force, only those who hid on the top of a mountain like them could avoid the impact of the tsunami. Otherwise, people in the area below three hundred meters would almost certainly die!
In fact, considering the area of Catanduanes Island, if there were many peaks over 500 meters above sea level, the island would have been washed away by the tsunami long ago. But even if there were many high mountains, the coastal towns of the island would definitely not be saved.
Those who have not seen a super tsunami with their own eyes cannot imagine how terrifying the impact of a tsunami is. The impact of a tsunami shown through special effects in those disaster blockbusters cannot be compared with the power of a real tsunami.
In fact, a simple comparison can give you an idea of the power of a super tsunami.
Many people have probably seen the power of high-pressure water cannons, which are the kind on fire trucks that are usually used to put out fires. But if that thing is directed at people, it can knock an adult to the ground in one go. It's very powerful.
But the flow rate of high-pressure water cannons is usually five to eight liters of water per second, and what about tsunamis? Think about it, a 40-meter-high water wall is hundreds of meters thick, and the width is impossible to count. In other words, when a super tsunami comes, a 40-meter-wide building will be hit by a water wall that is about 40 meters high, 100 meters thick, and 40 meters wide. This water wall is about 160,000 cubic meters, or 160,000 tons! If converted to liters, then multiply it by one thousand, which is about 160 million liters of seawater! Not to mention that the seawater is rushing at a speed of more than 170 meters per second!
What does this mean? At least 160,000 tons of seawater is hitting us head-on at a speed of over 170 meters per second. Even though this is soft seawater, at this speed, the hardness of seawater is definitely harder than stone! Under such an impact, let alone high-rise buildings, I am afraid that except for mountains, there is almost no existence on this planet that can withstand such an impact!
Haven’t you seen that after many super tsunamis, rescue workers entered the disaster area to rescue, and often saw large ships with a displacement of over 10,000 tons being pushed several kilometers or even dozens of kilometers inland by the tsunami. This is the power of the tsunami!
Therefore, it is no exaggeration to say that there is no need to rescue this island anymore...
Therefore, after Yang Jing and his team came down the mountain, they did not go to the city at all, but went north along the road to see if there was any way to pass through it. Although they also had no confidence in this road.
Facts have proved that Yang Jing and his team's guess was correct, and the power of the tsunami was extremely huge.
When the tsunami occurred, Yang Jing and his team clearly saw a small part of the tsunami rushing northward along the Batu River Valley. This wave was very small compared to a tsunami, but it was a huge blow to the Batu River Valley. The hundreds of meters high water wall destroyed almost everything in the valley. Even though the road was dozens of meters above the river, most of the roadbed was almost completely destroyed under such impact.
To put it bluntly, such a super tsunami is like a plowshare in the hand of God, a plowshare with a lot of teeth, and then God took this plowshare and hit the island hard...
