Chapter 40
"Yangyangyangyangyang——"
The wind, rain, and thunder blurred the little ball's voice. The little ball looked at the sky full of lightning through the mecha screen. The electronic voice was drawn out: "This is not good. After all, you promised Shang Yi——"
Jiang Xiangyang calmly controlled the mecha to avoid the storm: "I just promised him that I would not go down the mountain."
The mecha shook at this moment, and the little ball became even more frantic: "Then you can't go up to the sky! And you didn't even take the pager!"
After wasting half a day reinforcing the flight system, the K-87 still had major problems with its body balance. Perhaps because departure was imminent, Shang Yi and Hei Chu had a lot more things to do, and they did not stop Jiang Xiangyang even after several attempts.
So Jiang Xiangyang slipped out without hesitation.
"Don't worry, baby." Jiang Xiangyang didn't look back, "Help me detect the location of Ah Hu and the others."

Heitu stepped into the cave through the mud and water.
He came back less than ten minutes after going out, soaked like a water man. Heitu was shivering with cold all over and immediately rushed to the side of the three-petal man.
Ah Hu threw the last piece of dry firewood into the weak campfire. The firewood had been damp in the past few days and could not be lit at all. It had been raining heavily outside and the temperature was dropping. If this continued, they would most likely get sick because they had no warmth.
In Ah Hu's impression, being sick is a very scary thing, and bad luck can be directly linked to death.
After a few days of rest, the three-petal man's injuries have basically healed, which is a blessing in disguise.
The three-petal man pushed Heitu closer to the fire. Heitu, whose cheeks were pale, came back to life and huddled in the three-petal man's arms, not saying a word.
"How many days has it been raining?" Ah Hu asked.
The three-petal man had been in a daze for a while and couldn't remember the days. "Four days?"
Heitu picked at the mud on his legs with his fingers and replied sullenly, "Almost six days."
It was Heitu who spoke again: "I've never seen such heavy rain."
The three-petal man helped him wipe the mud off his arm: "Me neither."
Heitu asked, "When will the sun appear?"
Three-petal man: "I don't know."
Kurotsuchi: "What will happen if it rains for a few more days?"
The three-petal man replied, "I don't know."
Ah Hu glanced at the accumulated water that had already reached the entrance of the cave and said, "When the rain stops, let's go out and find a higher place."
Heitu agreed and took out a piece of fruit wrapped in leaves, which was wet with rain. He had been unable to find prey in the past few days and could only rely on these things to fill his stomach. He said worriedly, "I don't know how the master is doing."
The three-petal man glanced at Ah Hu who was watching from the entrance of the cave: "Master, you are better than me, everything will be fine."
Heitu gave an ugly smile: "Yes, sir, you are the messenger of God." He choked up again, "Then we...will we die?"
The three-petal man stroked Heitu's hair and did not answer him.
"Sir?" Ah Hu suddenly shouted.
The three-petal man thought Ah Hu was worried about Jiang Xiangyang's safety: "Brother, the master will be fine."
"No, come and see, is that an adult?"
The three-petal man stood up and walked towards the cave entrance: "Impossible, the master left a few days ago, how could - Master!?"
Rain washed over the metal surface, its luster fading into a hazy mist. In the eyes of the three men, K-87 was no less than a god descended from the heavens. Hovering in mid-air, the mecha quietly gazed down at the three men in the cave. Sitting inside, Jiang Xiangyang extended his robotic arm toward them. "We'll talk later. Follow me."
If someone had told Heitu before that one day in the future he would meet God's messenger, and that God's messenger would take him to the sky, Heitu would probably have given him an unusually sunny smile, and then smashed the other person's head with nuts.
But now he could only curl up in the arms of the three-petal man and hold back his screams.
There was no room for extra people in the cockpit, so Jiang Xiangyang had to have three people hang on the robotic arm. Fortunately, the mecha's palm was big enough.
The rainwater has risen to a height of half a meter, and the low-lying areas have accumulated into small lakes. The soil has become loose, and many trees are tilted obviously. Animals seem to have smelled danger and are running to higher ground. Countless young saplings are buried in the swollen river.
After the initial excitement of being able to take off wore off, Ah Hu became a little worried about the situation of the tribe and asked Jiang Xiangyang about it. Jiang Xiangyang was unable to answer and mumbled vaguely.
The three-petal man comforted his eldest brother: "The tribe has encountered continuous rain and flooding before. We have experience and will run to the mountains."
Jiang Xiangyang's eyes flashed. Perhaps there was no need to rescue them. The five major tribes would have their own solutions. "Have you encountered this before?"
Heitu finally got used to it a little, and he stuck his head out to look down, but he still shrank his head in fear. Hearing this, he said, "I heard from people in the past that there was a lot of water, and the ground sank. It probably reached above the neck, but for tall people, it would only reach the chest." He gestured with his hands.
Jiang Xiangyang's heart sank as he listened, and he blurted out unconsciously, "That level of damage should also be called a flood."
Black Earth caught a name he had never heard before: "Flood? What is a flood?"
Jiang Xiangyang stopped thinking about it and quickened his pace to run towards the highest peak: "It's a terrible disaster."
Heitu turned into a curious baby: "Is it more terrible than God's anger?"
Jiang Xiangyang: "...There's no comparison."
Heitu: “Huh?”
The mecha speeding in the sky cut a hole in the dark rain curtain. Jiang Xiangyang looked around and finally chose a high peak to settle Ah Hu and the other two. He left behind heating equipment and food, and taught them how to use them before leaving with peace of mind.
The mecha returned to the sky, with Ah Hu and the other two kneeling on the ground behind it.
After flying through the storm, the energy tank had been depleted by about 30%. When the little ball opened its eyes after waiting for the task, it found that Jiang Xiangyang had not returned to the airship yet. "Yangyang?"
"Are you awake?" Jiang Xiangyang's voice was calm, and every word was clear even amidst the roaring wind. "Do you want to sleep a little longer?"
The little ball blinked, blinked again, and suddenly rushed forward. Looking down through the inorganic glass, it was a completely unfamiliar place.
It looked at Jiang Xiangyang, who looked calm, and was silent for a long time. Then it asked uncertainly, "Yangyang, are we on our way back to the flying ship?"
Seeing that he couldn't hide it anymore, Jiang Xiangyang openly placed a mark on the map: "I didn't say that."
Seeing clearly where Jiang Xiangyang had marked, the little ball immediately jumped up and said, "Yangyang, are you crazy?!"
Wild animals were fleeing in groups and flying over the forest. Jiang Xiangyang suddenly spotted a fawn stuck in the mud on the ground. He flew down and picked it up, caught up with the tail of the herd, and let the fawn go.
The frightened deer looked around and quickly caught up with the herd.
Jiang Xiangyang paused for a moment, then continued driving before slowly answering, "What is Article 73 of the Hilda Student Conduct Handbook?"
After practicing answering questions many times, the little ball instinctively answered, "Do what you can."
Jiang Xiangyang nodded seriously: "I am now doing what I can do."
The little ball felt like its intelligence system was about to short-circuit. Its claws tugged at its two needle-shaped ears, and the electronic screen crackled. "How can this be the same!?"
"The flood footage preserved in ancient Earth data consists of only two or three images and a short video of less than three seconds." The navigation indicated that the glacier was still some distance away. Jiang Xiangyang said calmly, "I'm just going there to collect data."
He said silently in his heart, and by the way, see if there is any possibility of stopping it.
#Grandma LordGrandma Lord~\(≧▽≦)/~#
#Collecting information? #
#Flood?#
#Oh my god, it’s raining so hard#
#Grandma, are you driving a mecha? #
#It’s raining so hard#
#Is there really a flood? #
#Good evening, Grandma~#
#Oh my god, all the trees have fallen! #
Jiang Xiangyang: "...Hi, good evening."
The live broadcast came unexpectedly, and Jiang Xiangyang was dazzled by the barrage of comments in front of him. When he came to his senses, he found that his barrage of comments was flooded with the same message.
#Grandma, what's that sound over there? #
What sound?
Jiang Xiangyang slowly turned his head.
The collapsed glacier was just ahead. The gathered waves broke through the coast, creating huge waves dozens of meters high, mixed with mud and rocks, and unmelted ice. The raging roar came surging and overwhelming, like a giant beast that devoured the sky, making people tremble with fear from the bottom of their souls.
The flood is coming.
