"The Xiangjiang River is flowing back?" Liu Shuyuan felt that it was not a good thing when he heard this word.
This rice field is very large, stretching for tens of thousands of acres. It would be extremely difficult to irrigate it manually. However, if the water from the Xiangjiang River flows back from the other side of the road, it would be no different from adding water to a bathtub.
The power of nature is sometimes so unreasonable.
"Don't worry, this is not a bad thing." Bai Song said, "The rice fields here are only one meter lower than the edge of the Xiangjiang River. At most, the water will flood up to your thighs. It's not a big problem, but it will be difficult to move."
"It's not just that it's difficult to move. If the water is half a meter deep, you can't see any ridges at all, and you can't tell the direction," Liu Shuyuan reminded.
"This is indeed..." Bai Song also realized the seriousness of the problem. If he went in the wrong direction, the possible problem would not be not being able to find the ridge of the field, but going around in circles.
"Let's go as fast as possible. Once we enter the village, the terrain over there is a little higher, and we can leave this area." Bai Song calculated that they would reach the village in about half an hour.
The water quickly covered the ridge of the field by more than ten centimeters. Now it was very difficult to run and I could only wade forward step by step.
"Don't worry, this is a good thing." Bai Song saw that the two were a little overworked, and couldn't help but encourage everyone: "The deep water not only affects us, but their cars will all be grounded soon. If we go to the next village, they may not have people to rush over."
The Xiangjiang River has not seen a major flood for many years. Baisong had also seen the forecast for today's rain in advance. Although it is heavy, it will at most submerge farmland and is unlikely to cause a major flood.
"There's a car coming, and the water is entering." Bai Song saw lights in the distance.
The water on the ridges of the fields was almost above the calves, and it was half a meter deep in the rice fields. The wheels would sink into the mud at least 20 to 30 centimeters, so the wading depth of the off-road vehicle was 70 to 80 centimeters. All the cars without snorkels were doomed, and the only remaining one had to return to the village and get ashore quickly, otherwise it would also be stranded.
The wading capacity of an off-road vehicle is generally about one foot. For this type of vehicle equipped with a snorkel, the air intake system is placed on the roof, and the wading depth can theoretically reach 1.2 meters. However, this is a car after all, not a boat.
For now, this is a better place to sail!
The car was also heading towards the village. For fear of stalling, the car was driving slowly, only about 10 kilometers per hour.
This speed is already much faster than Bai Song and others. The speed of the three of them is less than two kilometers per hour.
As luck would have it, the other party also wanted to take this ridge. The ridge was not visible at all at the moment, but the driver could feel that the water was shallow in this place.
Bai Song and the other two immediately hid in the water on one side. Because it would take at least half a minute for the car behind to arrive, the three of them had enough time to hide about ten meters away from the ridge of the field.
"Bury yourself completely in the water and don't show your head!" Bai Song shouted.
The car had not arrived yet, and a small wave of water came over, making it easy for the three to get out of the water. Bai Song had to grab a handful of rice seedlings and dig his feet into the mud to keep his body steady and not float up.
Infrared detection instruments mainly detect infrared rays caused by temperature.
If it is clean water, it will not have a strong ability to block infrared rays. But fortunately, the water here is muddier than the most turbid section of the Yellow River. It is full of mud. You can't see the bottom of the ten-centimeter-deep water, and infrared rays cannot detect it at all.
Everyone held their breath for as long as possible. When they heard the sound of the car gradually fading away from underwater, Bai Song slowly poked his head out.
From beginning to end, Bai Song didn't even stick his head out to take a look at the car.
Those claims that coating your body with mud and getting a little water on it can block infrared rays are all lies.
All instruments are designed to detect things that cannot be clearly observed by human eyes, ears, nose, tongue and other organs, so they must be more powerful than humans. If Bai Song could see the specific situation of the car, the detector would have detected the person long ago.
The rain was so heavy that there was basically no thunder. If there was lightning, Bai Song could roughly judge the location of the village. If not, Bai Song could only judge by the car that had already gone away in the distance.
"Without a signal, the car may not be heading in the right direction, right?" Liu Shuyuan and Ren Xu also came out of the water, each one more miserable than the other.
"Their direction is consistent with mine, so I can only assume that they are right," Bai Song said, "According to my inference, we are still three to five hundred meters away from this village. In addition, the second village closest to us is about four kilometers away."
"Can we go to this village?" Ren Xu asked. His physical strength had been almost exhausted.
"I can't go." Bai Song shook his head. He had a hunch that the people in this car were not the same small fry as before. With their current physical condition, Liu Shuyuan and Ren Xu had basically lost their combat effectiveness. His reaction speed and physical strength were also declining sharply. As long as there was a good armed fighter, he would be unable to defeat them.
"Find a new ridge, walk horizontally for 500 meters, then turn left and return to the highway." Bai Song gritted his teeth.
"The Xiangjiang River is flooded. Isn't it tantamount to seeking death to go to the highway?" Liu Shuyuan widened his eyes.
"The highway is the highest place besides the village. The water level has risen by about 30 centimeters in the past half hour. Based on the distance, width and the state of the Xiangjiang River here, I judge that the water depth on the highway will not exceed ten centimeters. Moreover, the road surface is hard and the river bank is made of cement and large stones, so the road will not collapse so easily." Bai Song calculated that if the water flow depth of the Xiangjiang River on the highway exceeds ten centimeters, the speed of backflow will be much more alarming than it is now, and the trough may be full in ten minutes.
Bai Song felt that the rain had cooled down a bit: "We have to go ashore. We can't stay here like this any longer."
"Isn't this too far?" Ren Xu felt a little dizzy. He was running out of energy and was feeling a little low.
"No, this road is not straight. Go 500 meters ahead, and it's not as far from the roadside as it is here." Bai Song didn't say anything. Although it's not that far, it's still far away...
However, people need faith at this time. Bai Song can only say this. After all, people are more willing to face easier goals.
"Then let's go, this is the best choice." Liu Shuyuan agreed with Bai Song.
"Well, follow me closely. This is our last resort. We have no way of judging the direction. Now the water from the Xiangjiang River is flooding the rice fields. The water has been flowing this way. We will definitely find the way if we go against the water. It will be troublesome if the water level in the rice fields is the same as the river level." Bai Song walked in front.
Ren Xu looked at Bai Song's back, gritted his teeth, and followed him.
