It was worse than he had imagined. The entire Xi Village was covered in snow. All that could be seen in the original village were the remains of collapsed houses and trees washed down by the snow.
It should be here by now.
Sean stopped and looked at everything in front of him. If the heavy snow was replaced by mud and sand, the disaster would be a mudslide.
I have never personally witnessed such a big disaster in my life. The entire village was crushed under the university!
The guards he brought with him were also so surprised when they saw this scene that they were speechless...
Major disasters rarely happen in the small town of Thermian. The last recorded incident was when the river flooded and destroyed the crops. On that occasion, a child went missing and was never found. However, the current situation cannot be explained by one or two people.
"What you said just now was wrong, was it just the snow on the mountain?" Sean suddenly asked Lucille beside him.
The area near the mountain in front of me has collapsed by more than half...the entire mountainside is exposed with soil.
"No... I said it, but it's impossible for such a big avalanche to happen." Lucille just felt it was incredible, because the snow she saw the day before yesterday was not so heavy, and suddenly such a large amount of snow appeared, which was unbelievable.
It feels like a flood in a small stream; the water flow is simply not enough.
Lucille wanted to explain, but she saw Gwyn and Gudar from her team running back from the front.
Gwyn is another girl in the team. Although both of them are women, Lucille didn't communicate much with her. She only knew that she came from the western city... If I remember correctly, the western place should be a plateau. The further northwest you go, the more snow-capped mountains there are that never melt.
The Amansha people living there often make a living by hunting. They are a group of natural hunters. Gwyn in this team is also a master of traps. Kerry invited her to join the team mainly to unlock the mechanisms in the ancient tombs.
As for Guda, he is from the northern region. The north has always been full of rich cities, and there are even technological cities like Altinova, so the tools and machines used are very advanced. He has always been the mechanical master of the team, specializing in tinkering with those instruments.
"What's going on up front?" Sean asked after seeing the two people coming over.
They all looked at each other and shook their heads.
"It's too late. Many people are buried under the snow. Those who can see have already frozen to death."
The chances of surviving such a disaster were already very low. Sean knew there was little hope when he decided to come here. He originally came here with the mentality of collecting bodies, but he didn't expect that not even a miracle would happen.
"Have you found any survivors?"
"Not yet."
At this time, the captain of the archaeological team, Chris, also came up.
"Lord Weigel, how about... we split up and search, maybe there's still a chance."
Instead of Rick giving orders, Sean pulled out his own small map from his waist pack. As he approached the area surrounding Xicun Village, it lit up. Besides a portion of the terrain, several other small gray dots also appeared on the map.
This was the first time I saw small gray dots appear, which should represent the dead people. There were about six or seven small dots, which meant that so many people had died.
He looked at the nearest one, which was more than ten meters away from him.
All I saw was a pile of snow and branches, but I didn't see anyone. The person should be underneath.
As soon as I entered, I could see so many gray dots. By the time I officially reached Xi Village, I had no idea how many people there would be!
Luke had previously estimated that there might be more than 30 people trapped in Xi Village, but now it seems that there might be far more...
"Everyone come here... and do as I say." Sean called everyone around and began to assign them tasks. Although he could see the location of the person buried in the snow, he couldn't just say that there was someone underneath.
We can only send our entourage to dig on it...
"grown ups!"
A group of people gathered around, all with heavy expressions on their faces.
"We're still a step too late. Now all we can do is collect as many bodies as possible and pray for a miracle so we can save the survivors. Time waits for no one... You guys take people over there, and you go this way... Bring the sleds aboard. At the very least, we'll be able to get their bodies to their families!"
Sean kept sending people to the places he saw.
There were more than 30 people in the group, pulling a dozen sleds. There should be no problem carrying more than 20 people, but there would be no way to carry more people. They could only wait for Luke to lead people to clear the road.
But this time, Sean suddenly felt that his ability made him a little worried. He could clearly see but he couldn't save everyone!
"Yes, sir."
Everyone's expression was solemn, and Sean could even see a "heavy" feeling appearing above their heads.
The guards began searching at the locations assigned by Sean and soon made a discovery.
"There are people here, there are people down here."
"There seem to be some here too... Bring them up quickly."
Almost all of them were buried in the snow and suffocated to death. Even if some were buried shallowly, they would not survive a night in this kind of weather...
A large number of people who had frozen to death were dug out of the snow and put onto sleds. Their bodies had turned purple due to the cold. When they were carried out by the crowd, their faces were full of fear and anxiety. It was hard to imagine what kind of scene they had seen before they died.
Sean stood in the middle of the team, watching everyone busy themselves, and occasionally helped carry people onto the car.
"You've done everything you could have done. Disaster is inevitable."
Lucille stayed by his side the entire time and agreed to help melt the thick snow with magic.
"If I could have seen this beforehand!"
"It's not your fault. How can anyone predict the arrival of a disaster? Although I've heard that some prophets have the ability to predict, most of what they say is ambiguous. I don't think it's interesting." Lucille said.
After all, others didn't know his abilities, so Sean didn't say anything. He just opened the map to see where the shadows were removed this time, hoping to light up the entire map of Xi Village.
However, Sean still saw some other different dots.
press?
Red dot!
It turned out to be a red dot, and it was close to the hillside.
"Lu...Oh, Illya. Have you seen that thing?" Sean almost called out the name when he suddenly pointed to the rear.
When Lucille turned around, she also had a surprised expression on her face.
"Snowman, that's a snow giant!"
