“Beep, beep, beep!”
"Alert! Ancient flood is coming!"
Two o'clock in the morning.
The system suddenly sounded a sharp prompt. Gu Sang, who was sleeping soundly, turned over, then suddenly woke up and sat up from the bed.
Gu Sang got out of bed and turned on the light. His mind was still hazy, but he blurted out, "System, what happened?"
"Split Screen: Flood in Liujiang City!"
"Do you need to watch it?"
The word "flood" came to mind again, and Gu Sang woke up completely.
"Watch."
As soon as Gu Sang finished speaking, a huge screen appeared in front of him.
The terrifying flood, mixed with branches and stones, rushed in from afar. In the blink of an eye, it rumbled into the city.
The villagers in the city who had not yet had time to flee were shouting to each other in panic, holding their children and taking their belongings to flee to higher places.
But before they could escape far, the raging flood swept them away.
The house collapsed!
The flood carried stones and washed the whole city with blood!
The people were like dying fish. Their desperate cries at the last moment and their struggling will to survive made Gu Sang's heart feel as if it was being tightly grasped, and even his breathing became very heavy.
"Wuwuwu... Daddy! Daddy! Ah!"
"God, please save us, we can't survive!"
"Could it be that the strange phenomenon that suddenly appeared at the city gate a few days ago was actually a natural disaster? Is the goddess punishing us?"
"Goddess, we know we were wrong. We shouldn't have questioned you. Please forgive us and let the flood recede as soon as possible."
"My house! My house!!"
Those people who knew they could not escape all rushed to the city wall.
They knelt on the ground and kowtowed hard towards the live broadcast screen.
He didn't stop even when his forehead was bleeding.
He seemed to be insensitive to the pain and kowtowed heavily to the wall, one after another.
Suddenly, someone cried out in terror, "What should I do? What should I do? The flood is coming down, and the city walls are about to collapse."
"Goddess, please show up and save us!"
"Our home is gone, wuwuwu..."
“Phew—”
The split screen in front of me went black, and the viewing ended here.
Gu Sang was in a very heavy mood.
It is the rainy season now, and this flood came quickly and violently. I am afraid it will not recede in a short time!
Moreover, there were no drainage outlets in ancient times, and Liujiang City was located at the lowest point, so all the water from the surrounding areas would flow into this city.
Gu Sang asked calmly, "How many days will this flood last?"
"According to data, it will last for about fifteen days, and on the tenth day, the flood will reach its peak. By then, the mountain torrents will backflow and the entire city will be submerged."
Hearing this, Gu Sang's heart sank.
There have also been several large-scale flash floods in modern times.
Even with modern technology, we cannot avoid the harm caused by floods. Natural disasters are so terrible that they cannot be easily resisted by human power!
But in ancient times, transportation was blocked.
They can't even ask for help.
By the time the court learned about this, ten days or half a month had already passed.
By then, there will be corpses floating on the water.
There were countless people who died of starvation, drowning, illness, and exhaustion!
In later generations, there were various instruments that could predict life, as well as lifeboats and the delivery of various supplies, which would greatly ensure everyone's safety and survival.
Gu Sang had seen news before that a severe flood occurred in a certain place, and a man squatted on the wall of his house to pick fruits and wait for national rescue. The wall under his feet had long been submerged by the flood, but he was still eating the fruits calmly.
That's because he knows that the country will not give up on anyone!
The country will come to his rescue!
When faced with such things, the ancient people had no choice but to run to higher ground with their families and spend their days in desperate waiting.
When there was no more dry food, no more food or drink...
"System, help me connect to Pei Weiqi."
"immediately."
Gu Sang thought to himself, there are still ten days left!
Ten days should be enough!
As long as Pei Weiqi evacuates everyone within ten days, the severe mountain flood ten days later can be avoided.
Now she only hopes that the food the people brought can last for a few more days.
"Deduct five merits, whether to connect or not!"
"Lian, quick dunk."
The next second, the eldest princess's face appeared on the screen.
The eldest princess sat behind a table with a desk in front of her. It seemed that she was still dealing with affairs in the city, and her expression showed fatigue and exhaustion.
The eldest princess looked up and asked, "What's the matter that makes you look for me so urgently?"
Gu Sang: "How far is Liujiang City from where you are? Can you get there within seven days?"
The eldest princess originally wanted to discuss the women's guard team with Gu Sang, and then told her that the recruitment was not ideal.
But when she saw Gu Sang's expression, the eldest princess felt a little uneasy.
She pondered for a moment and said, "If we travel light or travel day and night, we can get there in five days."
Gu Sang nodded. "Wei Qi, there's a flood in Liujiang City. There will be a particularly severe flash flood on the tenth day, so you need to evacuate the villagers within ten days."
"The journey takes five days, the rescue takes three days, and the remaining two days are for evacuation."
"To prevent any unexpected events or emergencies, you must evacuate Liujiang City on the ninth day."
"Moreover, time is running out. The people fled in such a hurry that they probably didn't bring much food. It can only sustain them for a few days at most. If it's too late, they will either drown or starve to death."
The eldest princess's expression suddenly changed.
But she remained calm and began to analyze ways to seek help in her mind.
One minute later.
The eldest princess' eyes revealed a trace of pain and helplessness. She shook her head at Gu Sang and said, "You look so anxious. You must have seen the flood in Liujiang City."
"It's fine for me to rescue people, but the flood is so severe that even if my soldiers can get there in advance, they will be exhausted."
"We need at least one more day to rest and recuperate, which leaves us with only three days at most for rescue."
"Even if I rowed a boat to rescue them, I can't find enough boats at once, and I also need to transport the boats over. The time is not enough."
How difficult it is to save someone in the water!
And those are the people of an entire city, not just one or two people.
Even if the soldiers could save people, their bodies could not support them to go back and forth to save people continuously. This is not modern times, this is ancient times where people can only walk!
Gu Sang had already thought of this point before connecting.
She immediately said to the eldest princess, "I already have a preliminary rescue plan. In later generations, there is something called a lifeboat!"
"Wei Qi, you arrange for rescue personnel first."
"By tomorrow, I will tell you the simple method of making a lifeboat. As for the special materials that were not available in ancient times, I will search to see if other materials can be used as substitutes."
"As for the rescue supplies, methods, and medicines, I will prepare a list for you by tomorrow."
