"And right now, the floodwaters must be raging outside. How are we going to get across without a vehicle? That huge lake in the middle is completely exposed to the air when it rains. You've seen the lightning, too. If it strikes the water, none of us will escape!"
In the brief moment he stood there lost in thought in the cave, Lu Yuan had already rejected his escape plan.
How could he have thought of this? But after some general deduction, he realized that he was simply incapable of completing the task.
In the end, seeing the disappointment in everyone's eyes, Lu Yuan could only offer a word of comfort.
"Don't worry, we'll definitely have a chance to escape. It's just that we can't leave before this torrential rain. We have to wait for the floodwaters to recede!"
After saying that, Lu Yuan picked up a flashlight and went to the side of the cave entrance, walking towards the distance.
The water on the ground in the distance continued to rise, and as the flashlight beam moved forward, a flood peak appeared in the distance.
The flood peak was about two meters high, which caused Lu Yuan to show a look of astonishment.
"Damn it, how could there be a flood peak? Could this place be a valley?"
Lu Yuan slapped his forehead, only then realizing that this place was a valley.
Although there is a relatively good river valley in the distance, the water cannot flow out of the valley.
Lu Yuan felt a surge of tension and kept praying that the flood would not continue to spread, otherwise they might encounter even greater trouble.
Overnight, the floodwaters rose nearly two meters.
As Lu Yuan caught up with the distant flood peak, he discovered that there was actually a lake halfway up the mountain.
The lake was ravaged by the storm, and the floodwaters surged and overflowed the mountains, causing widespread flooding.
Lu Yuan felt a surge of tension. He picked up his binoculars and, through the dense rain, saw the distant flood peaks still sweeping in wave after wave. He was even more shocked.
"Looks like we need to prepare for an evacuation. Damn it, where should we go?"
All day long, Lu Yuan kept using his tablet to search for ways to leave.
Unfortunately, they were in a canyon, and to get across, they would have to traverse mountains and valleys.
If you're crossing a mountain, the higher the altitude, the greater the risk of being struck by lightning.
So this is a very dangerous road, but staying here could mean being swept away by the flood.
After thinking for a long time, Lu Yuan came up with an assignment: to build a ship so that they could be safer.
But where can we find shipbuilding equipment? Storage space in this dimensional space is really limited.
There were no shipbuilding tools whatsoever, not even a car.
The things Lu Yuan stored most in the dimensional space were food and water.
Another day has passed, and even the apes haven't come today. It's clear that the apes are too preoccupied with this place to bother with them anymore.
Lu Yuan arranged to continue observing, and just as he was taking a nap, he heard a snoring sound coming from outside.
He quickly opened his eyes and went outside the cave.
Several ape carcasses were seen floating on the river in the distance. Their bellies were swollen and large, indicating that they had drowned.
Lu Yuan picked up the binoculars and looked in the distance. Suddenly, he felt as if his heart was being squeezed.
The river was filled with the corpses of apes, and in the distance, several rafts were rocking back and forth in the rapids, each carrying a large number of apes.
Upon seeing this scene, Lu Yuan felt a pang of anxiety and didn't know what to do.
Especially when he saw the apes waving in his direction, he felt that they were asking for help.
To save or not to save?
These two choices are now swirling in Lu Yuan's mind.
He no longer possesses the same powerful abilities as before, nor does he have an infinite dimensional space that can support so many people.
Now he is just someone who can barely survive in a small space with a few people.
But those apes in the distance looked so huge, even if they came, what kind of place would I give them to live?
He didn't know what to do either, when suddenly Du Heng's exclamation came from ahead.
"Damn it! Everyone get out of here! These ape corpses are infected. I'm worried they'll infect all of us. Everyone, change out of your clothes and disinfect yourselves!"
Du Heng's words instantly brought Lu Yuan to his senses.
He hurriedly retrieved a lot of disinfectant from the dimensional space and placed it on the ground.
Everyone quickly sprayed disinfectant on themselves or washed their hands.
Then a fire appeared and all the clothes that had just been in contact with their bodies were thrown out and burned.
The fire in the cave burned up a wall, but it couldn't stop the apes from coming to call for help.
Lu Yuan knew that they had no chance to save these apes this time. If they could, the military wouldn't have stood idly by last time. He was truly powerless now.
Seeing those apes desperately heading towards them, Lu Yuan felt a pang of sadness, but there was nothing he could do.
After about half an hour, a raft finally came into view.
A tall, ape-like figure burst through the flames and entered, his clothes soaked through. He appeared to be in extremely poor condition.
