For a moment, they felt as if they had returned to sixteen days earlier, when they first arrived in the Amazon.
The fear and anxiety about the unknown disaster swept through everyone's hearts.
After eating two pieces of dried meat, they each lay down in their respective spots, but none of them fell asleep; their minds were filled with countless thoughts.
Finally, they succumbed to sleepiness and fell into a deep sleep…
After an unknown amount of time, Ye Feng, who was in the middle of a dream, suddenly felt his body being shaken...
He was dreaming of eating scrambled eggs when, just as he picked up a piece, an earthquake struck…
"Brother Feng, wake up!"
Feeling someone calling him, Ye Feng frowned, then slowly opened his eyes…
Only then did he realize that Qi Xiaoyan was gripping his shoulders; it was already dawn…
"What's wrong?"
Ye Feng slowly sat up, rubbed his eyes, and asked... He hadn't fallen asleep until almost two or three in the morning last night in order to observe the rain...
"Look outside!"
Qi Xiaoyan pointed outside in a panic…
"The water level has risen a lot."
Upon hearing this, Ye Feng quickly stood up and pushed aside Fu Changxiong and the others who were watching from the doorway...
Upon seeing the scene before him, he instantly woke up from his drowsiness…
Although the rain is less intense than last night, it is still heavy... as if it shows no sign of stopping.
The water in the pond, which had been clear, turned into a murky, yellowish-brown...
The water level had already submerged the area where the group had dissected the wild boar a few days earlier.
There used to be a large rock there, about fifty or sixty centimeters high, and about 30 centimeters above the waterline.
At this moment, everything was completely submerged, and nothing could be seen at all.
In other words, just one night of rain caused the water level to rise by more than a meter.
And with the continuous heavy rain, the water level is still rising…
This is already an extremely heavy rainfall event.
Ye Feng realized that things were heading in the most uncontrollable direction...
At this rate, the water level will probably reach the treehouse in less than 5 days…
"Damn! This is so annoying!"
Ye Feng cursed under his breath. He had finally enjoyed a few days of peace and quiet, and now he had to start working hard to survive again.
He immediately went back inside and began to think of a solution.
Now, there is no time to sit idly by and wait for death... because this rainy season has far exceeded his understanding.
It will definitely continue to rain, so I'm afraid this treehouse will have to be abandoned...
A moment later, he quickly gathered everyone and began to mobilize them…
"Everyone, we need to get started right away. I have a feeling this rain isn't going to stop anytime soon."
So now we have no choice but to move... otherwise we might find ourselves flooded in our sleep without even realizing it.
"ah!?"
A collective gasp of surprise rippled through the crowd, tinged with a hint of reluctance...
Ye Feng sighed helplessly…
"I know you're reluctant to part with it, and I'm damn reluctant too! It took me seven or eight days to build this place."
But what can we do?! I don't want to either! Can we fight against fate? If we don't leave, we'll just be flooded!
Don't worry about treehouses and smelting furnaces. If I can build the first one, I can build the second.
Those things are all external possessions; nothing is more important than our lives.
As long as I'm here, everything can be rebuilt...
Next, everyone had to get involved in the moving process, which was very urgent.
Therefore, whether we can get through this depends entirely on everyone's efforts.
After he finished speaking, everyone was still unwilling, but they also understood that Ye Feng was right.
So everyone responded in unison...
"good!"
Fu Changxiong immediately said:
"Brother, just assign tasks directly. What do you need us for?"
"Um."
Ye Feng nodded, his expression turning serious…
"Now, everyone should pack all the tools, food, wood, and anything else they can carry into their backpacks."
If it can't fit inside, we have to carry it up the mountain, even if we have to do it by hand.
After clearing out the house, we started dismantling the treehouse and then chose a new location on the mountain to build a shelter.
Let's get started right now!
"good!"
After giving some instructions, everyone stuffed a few pieces of dried meat into their mouths and began their own tasks.
This time, they were truly racing against time and death…
The rising water level could not only engulf everything they owned…
In addition, there are numerous deadly underwater creatures.
In the Amazon, the horrors extend far beyond the land…
Because of the deadly creatures on the ground, if you observe carefully enough, you can generally avoid many dangers.
Even when facing large predators like wild boars and jaguars head-on, there are still ways to deal with them.
At least, there's still a slim chance of survival and escape...
Once underwater, it becomes the domain of dozens of ferocious fish, including piranhas, caimans, toothpick fish, electric eels, giant catfish, and arapaima...
They leave no escape for any prey, making their chances of death far greater than on land…
Therefore, rising water levels will greatly increase their range of activity...
This rainy season is practically a hunting ground meticulously arranged by heaven for them...
That's why Ye Feng decided to abandon the treehouse he had worked so hard to build on the very first day.
After all, a house can be rebuilt, but if you lose your life, you really lose everything...
Half an hour later, everything was packed up, and everyone put on raincoats and carried heavy backpacks.
At Ye Feng's command, everyone descended from the treehouse...
They had barely stepped outside when they were hit by a downpour…
The dense raindrops pounded against the outer layer of the raincoat, creating a noticeable, slight thud, demonstrating the intensity of the rain…
Fortunately, Liu Sisi's craftsmanship was quite good, and the crocodile and pigskin were relatively thick...
They barely got wet in the rain...
Ye Feng wore a hat made from crocodile skull skin. Because it offered a better view and his jungle boots provided effective traction, he was chosen to walk in front…
The others followed in his footprints...
There's no way around it; this hillside is basically made of yellow mud.
Once it gets wet, it becomes slippery, just like a banana peel…
Ye Feng took each step with extreme caution, afraid that a fall would endanger those behind him...
But even the most meticulous plans can have flaws, and just as he was about to reach the summit, an accident still occurred…
He saw a black stone under his feet, and thinking it would be very stable, he stepped on it.
Unexpectedly, the stone slid right out of the yellow mud...
"Hey!"
Ye Feng instantly lost his balance, his body lurched forward, and then slid backward...
He bumped into Qi Xiaojie's ankle from behind, and then he lost his balance and fell onto Ye Feng's back, his body also sliding backward.
Next came Qi Xiaoyan, Liu Sisi, Fu Changxiong…
"Ouch!"
"ah!"
The entire team slid backwards quite a distance, like dominoes falling.
In the end, it was Fu Changxiong who stopped everyone from moving...
"Bro! Are you alright!?"
He immediately stepped forward to inquire about Ye Feng's condition...
Ye Feng was covered in mud from the fall, but luckily... he didn't bump into any sharp objects or stones.
