Chapter 54 Flash Flood
In the evening, after searching for a long time, Mai finally found a pine tree that was not very tall but had a relatively strong trunk and many branches to put the tree house on.
Also because she had a bad feeling, Maizi put branches on the tree house to make it grow thicker and tied it tighter with mutant vines.
Her feeling was indeed right. In the middle of the night, a strong wind started blowing outside.
Maizi felt the tree house swaying from side to side, and used his mental power to observe the outside. He found that the strong winds were just caused by the coming rain, and the level was not very strong.
Her tree house sways with the tree, not by itself, so there is no immediate danger of it being blown down by the wind.
Soon, Maizi saw lightning coming through the window lattice, then the sound of thunder, and then he heard the sound of rain outside.
The rain was heavy, but the wind was not as strong as before, so the tree house was just shaking slightly.
This was the first time that Maizi encountered rain after landing on the Blue Water Planet.
Mai Dongzi couldn't help it any longer, she sat up from the bed made of parachute, moved to the window on the porch and opened the window screen.
Because there are eaves to block the rain, even if it is windy and rainy outside, the rain cannot blow in.
But a stream of water vapor rushed in, and although it was a little cold, it brought with it a fresh smell.
This is the distant yet familiar smell in her memory.
Although he couldn't see clearly in the dark, Maizi still looked out the window for a long time, closed the window, and went back to lie down on the bed.
After lying down, she listened to the sound of rain for a long time because of her flying thoughts, and finally fell asleep vaguely.
When Maizi woke up the next morning, the rain outside was still falling heavily, and the rain had not weakened at all.
Maizi lifted the wooden window cover on the porch and looked outside. He felt that the rain might not stop today.
When she was walking among the energy plants yesterday, she naturally paid a lot of attention to the topography of the hillside and discovered some traces.
Watching the heavy rain washing the surrounding mountains and forests, countless small streams of water flowed down the hillsides, as if there were streams everywhere.
Maizi decided that she would better stay in the tree house and not go out until the rain stopped.
As a practitioner, she would not feel bored even if she was trapped in the hut. Moreover, she was a practitioner of the third level of Yiwu, and practicing alone took up most of her time.
It was already past one in the afternoon when Maizi stopped practicing because she was hungry. She ate barbecue and drank wild vegetable soup while looking at the outside world.
Although the heavy rain that lasted for half a night and a morning has turned into moderate rain, there is still no sign of stopping.
After eating and drinking his fill, Maizi was about to walk to the porch outside the cabin to relax when he suddenly heard a very dull sound coming from the top of the mountain.
She quickly pulled up the hood of her combat uniform to cover her hair, then jumped onto the top of the tree house, kicked off the top of the tree house and pounced on the main trunk of the pine tree, hugging Shuxuan tightly.
…
The audience in the live broadcast room, who were tired of watching the rain, became excited at once. They already knew very well that if Miss Lucy made any radical moves, something big was bound to happen.
Most people immediately turned on the God's perspective to see what was happening around them.
Although everyone thought something big was going to happen, they saw the brown water rushing down from the top of the mountain, carrying countless debris, and rushed to the tree where Miss Lucy was in the blink of an eye, and the water instantly submerged one-third of the tree.
Yesterday they had roughly estimated the height of the tree house, because the height of the trees on the hillside was no more than 10 meters, and the height of the tree house was only 4 or 5 meters.
The water rushing down from the mountain seemed to be very close to the tree house. The water splashing against the trees hit the wooden walls of the tree house, and the rumbling sound made everyone feel that it was too scary and exciting.
Spectators could see some smaller trees being knocked down by the current, then uprooted and carried down the slope by the current.
Fortunately, although the tree that Miss Lucy was standing on was shaking a little, there was no danger of it being knocked down.
The most dangerous wave of water rushing down from the mountain is the first wave. The subsequent waves do not have such a strong thrust, so it is not as exciting.
The audience in the live broadcast room were conflicted. They certainly didn't want to see Miss Lucy get into trouble and be eliminated, but they also wanted to see some exciting live scenes.
…
Mai Dongzi was unaware of the conflicting feelings of the audience in her live broadcast room. After the flash flood, she was not in a hurry to return to the tree house because she was afraid that there would be a second wave of flash floods.
Although the pine tree she was standing on was not knocked down by the flash flood, the front of the flash flood, carrying mud and rocks, hit the pine tree hard, causing the trunk of the pine tree to tilt a little. If there is another wave of such impact, it is very likely that the pine tree will not be able to withstand it.
Being caught in a flash flood is much more dangerous than being caught in a normal flood, because a flash flood rushes down from the mountain, the water flows very fast, and there will be constant obstacles along the way.
Once you are swept by the current and hit against a tree with such force, you will have no chance of survival unless you are very lucky.
So when Maizi found out about the flash flood, he didn't dare to stay in the tree house, but went straight to hug the trunk of the pine tree.
Before the flash flood hit Maizi, she quickly took out the parachute rope from her space backpack. If she felt that the pine tree she was standing on was in danger of being knocked down by the flash flood, she would immediately throw the parachute rope to the nearby pine tree that had not fallen, and use the force of the rope to bounce onto that pine tree.
Fortunately, the pine tree she was standing on withstood the impact, and there was no second wave of flash floods.
After all the flood water that had rushed down from the mountain had flowed away, the water on the hillside had returned to a stream state. After using his mental strength to confirm that there was no danger on the top of the mountain for the time being, he relaxed and returned to the tree house.
Although her combat uniform was rainproof, she had no interest in hugging a tree and getting wet in the rain.
The flood did not affect the rain. After the flash floods broke out, the rain was still falling heavily. The wheat fields that dared not reach the ground had to continue to grow.
The rain lasted for two days without stopping, but the rain may have turned from moderate rain to light rain, and there were no more flash floods.
It was the second day after the rain stopped, and the twenty-third day after the Survival Game Festival started, when Mai finally came out from the pine tree.
The originally vibrant hillside was destroyed by the mountain torrents and was almost unrecognizable. The bushes and herbaceous plants between the pine trees were almost gone.
Mai Dongzi frowned slightly. How could she start looking for energy plants in this situation?
