Apocalypse Rebirth: 3000 million won at the beginning

Chapter 1354 Northwest Dilemma
The heavy rain continued for two months.

This rainstorm was not only in the coastal areas, but also covered all places with extremely dense water vapor, and even heavy rain fell in the northwest region.

The Northwest has always been short of water.

The vegetation in the Northwest region from east to west is roughly grassland, desert steppe, desert, and then desert.

But this rainstorm is not a good thing for the northwest region, as there are many deserts and sparse vegetation here.

If this heavy rain is spread out over several years, it might change the desert vegetation here and allow many grasses and trees to grow instead.

but.

This rainstorm came too suddenly and too quickly, and the amount of rainfall was too much.

Instead, it washed away the already poor soil here, taking away the soil and leaving bare rocks.

Jiayu City.

The south is high and the north is low, with the Badain Jaran Desert in the north and the Qilian Mountains in the south.

A large Bei River runs through it from east to west.

The originally small Dabei River has now become a very wide river.

Looking up, it seems like a vast lake.

Since it rarely rains throughout the year, this place is a temperate continental desert with an annual precipitation of only more than 80 mm and a relatively weak drainage system.

This rainstorm was undoubtedly a huge disaster.

suburbs.

Yuquan Town, where there are many ancient city walls that have stood for thousands of years.

With a heavy rain, the impact here is also huge.

This place is some distance away from the Dabei River, but heavy rains have been falling for more than two months and have still flooded some low-lying areas.

Outside the ancient city wall, there is a dense network of rivers.

The flood continued to rise and had already reached the edge of the ancient city wall.

There were many people inside the ancient city wall carrying sandbags and stacking them on top of the wall in case of emergency.

The ancient city wall is twelve meters high and is quite majestic.

In the heavy rain, on the parapet.

A tall man with sharp eyes, wearing a hat, with a square face, a pair of sword-like eyebrows reaching his temples, and a very imposing manner.

"Let the third battalion and the second squadron seal the city gate with sandbags. Don't let the flood rush in."

The deputy beside the man heard the captain's order, hesitated for a few seconds and then asked:

"This flood is not normal. There have been heavy rains before, but none of them caused such severe waterlogging. How about forming a death squad and rowing out to take a look?"

On their side, there is only one force, and that is them.

There are several columns, each column has 5 battalions, each battalion has 5 squadrons, each squadron has 10 squads, and each squad has 10 people.

A column consists of 2500 people.

Above this column is the captain-general, and above the captain-general is the big boss.

Standing on the ancient city wall at this time was the captain of the Third Column, Huang Feilong. After hearing what his deputy said, Huang Feilong looked at the flood in the distance, where a few zombies occasionally surfaced.

He flatly refused, "No, there are so many zombies in this flood. If you ask the brothers to go out and investigate, aren't you sending them to their deaths?"

The deputy sighed and said, "But, but there have been heavy rains before, but they didn't cause such serious waterlogging. There must be some place blocked by mud and sand, which caused the flood discharge to be blocked. Otherwise, the Beida River should flow to the east!"

"That won't work either." Huang Feilong refused righteously.

"Ok."

"Go and execute the order quickly!" Huang Feilong urged again.

"Yes."

The deputy hurried down the city wall and immediately contacted the second squadron of the third battalion.

Huang Feilong looked at the flood that was like an ocean with a stern look in his eyes.

In the northwest Jiayu City, far away from the Central Plains, the population is sparse.

In the end times, it is an excellent place far away from the large number of zombies.

In addition, with Ma Laoliu from Lan City in the east blocking the zombie tide heading west, they can basically rest easy here.

There is a vast desert in the north and the Qilian Mountains in the south. At most, only some zombies from the west will come over.

But there are relatively few.

There aren't many zombies you can see on weekdays, just sporadic ones.

But this time the natural disaster dealt them a heavy blow. When the thunderstorm disaster just broke out, the first column lost contact, and the second column was still on the way back, and there has been no trace of them until now.

I don’t know what the second column is like now.

This place is located in a desert area, so it is difficult to grow crops.

In addition, there are natural disasters every now and then, which have a significant impact.

What hinders their development is not the zombie tide, but the unpredictable natural disasters.

It is difficult to grow crops here, as there is only one harvest a year. But now there are always a few natural disasters every year, making it even more difficult.

Huang Feilong was thinking about some random things and staring at the lake in the distance in a daze.

After the deputy got down from the wall, the road was muddy.

Several tanks drove by and people came and went.

"Deputy Column Commander."

The deputy saw the captain of the first brigade jump out of the tank and asked quickly:

"Where is the Third Squadron? Why can't we contact them?"

The captain of the first brigade pointed to the back and said, "They are still cleaning up the sand and gravel there."

"Send someone to inform them to send a squadron to block the gate of the city wall. The flood is about to come up, and the gate may leak."

"Yes."

After the deputy column commander finished his instructions, he wiped the rain off his face.

"It's really frustrating. It's really strange that it rains so heavily in the northwest."

He is a native of the Northwest and grew up here.

There is little annual rainfall in Jiayu City, but it does snow.

But I have never seen such a heavy rain in my life.

When the thunderstorm first arrived, continuous lightning damaged some tanks and armored vehicles.

In the storm, the sky was filled with yellow sand and it was impossible to see clearly, but fortunately there were relatively few zombies here, so apart from some people injured in the storm, there were no other deaths.

That storm destroyed all the crops they had planted for a long time.

The storm was followed by heavy rain, which continued and settled the sand and dust in the air.

Everything has returned to calm.

But in the calm, there are unknown dangers.

Heavy rains lasted for more than two months, and large amounts of rain fell, washing the desert land.

Because a lot of soil in the Qilian Mountains in the south was washed away by heavy rain, mudslides occurred.

A large amount of mud and rock flowed down from the mountains, forming a large barrier lake in the east of Jiayu City.

The flood could not be drained away, causing waterlogging here.

According to the terrain here, it is actually unlikely to cause flooding, after all, the altitude here is relatively high.

However, due to the large amount of silt and mud, the flood could not be drained out at all.

Looking down at the entire Jiayu City from the sky, relying on the Beida River, the few kilometers to the north has become a vast ocean.

The Beida River flows from west to east. About ten kilometers to the east, mudslides rush down from the mountains. At the bend of the Beida River, silt accumulates to form a dam similar to a hydroelectric power station.

There is mud and sand under the dam. As time goes by, the mud and sand accumulates more and more, and the dam becomes more and more stable.

In short, if the dam is not broken, the entire Jiayu City will inevitably be submerged by floods over time.

A barrier lake has been formed.

In the center of the ancient city wall, inside a villa.

in the hall.

There were only three people sitting there.

There was a rectangular table, and at the top sat a man in a polo shirt. One couldn't tell his age from his appearance, he had an ordinary look, but his temperament was outstanding.

Behind this man was an old man with white hair in a braid, standing with his hands behind his back.

On the left and right sides of the rectangular table, there was a man.

The man on the right is dressed in military attire and looks quite imposing.

The man on the left is wearing a pair of glasses. His eyes are bright under the light.

At this moment, he was squinting his eyes, stroking the water cup in his hand, and his thin lips were slightly parted:
"Boss, I still hold on to my original idea. There have been heavy rains before, although they were not as heavy as this time, but they did not form floods like this one."

"We don't know how long this rainstorm will last. I just came down from the wall and saw that the floodwaters were almost reaching our wall."

"If we don't find out why the floodwaters aren't draining away and just wait for the water level to rise, it will be too late."

"On the other hand, the ancient city wall has stood for thousands of years, but it has never been soaked by floods. I don't think our wall can stop the floods from outside."

"You're farting!"

Before the man with glasses could finish his words, the muscular man sitting opposite him cursed.

"I personally led people to repair the ancient city wall and reinforced it with cement and steel bars. How come it can't stop the flood?"

"Ma Zhunzhi, don't think I don't know what you are thinking. In short, I just want to say one thing: I don't accept the method you proposed."

The big man in the center knocked on the yellow wooden tabletop.

Da da da--

"Ji Peng."

"Don't worry, we are discussing a solution, don't act on impulse."

After hearing the boss' words, Yin Jipeng looked at Ma Zhunzhi opposite him and snorted coldly.

Turn your head and look to the side.

When the boss saw Yin Jipeng like this, his brows frowned slightly.

Then he looked at the man with glasses and said:
"Zhunzhi, please continue."

"Yes, sir."

Ma Zhunzhi adjusted his glasses and stopped looking at Yin Jipeng who was sitting opposite him. Although Yin Jipeng was the captain-in-chief of several columns and in charge of the team, he had considerable power.

But at least I am in charge of all the internal affairs and logistics here, so my status is about the same.

All under the boss.

But it seemed as if Yin Jipeng was born to be incompatible with him and targeted him everywhere.

He pulled out a map from the paper tube next to him.

Spread out and lay flat on the table.

"Boss, look, this is the map of Jiayu City."

"According to common sense, the terrain here is higher than the surrounding areas, so it is unlikely to cause flooding, but look here..."

As he spoke, he pointed to the east of the Dabei River, in the center of Jiayu City and Jiu City.

"This is where the Great North River bends, and silt tends to settle here."

"I just checked the wall and the flood flow rate is not fast. That means there must be a blockage somewhere below, which prevents the rainwater from draining out."

"So I suspect that sedimentation and accumulation may have caused a blockage in this place, and a large barrier lake has formed in our huge Jiayu City."

"If we don't want the flood level to rise, we must dredge this place and open a hole for the flood to let the rainwater flow out!"

As he said this, he raised his head and glanced at Yin Jipeng who was sitting opposite him.

After taking a sip of water, he continued:
"Captain Yin's opinion is the second solution I wanted to talk about."

"That's endurance and gambling."

"I bet this natural disaster will be over soon. Once the rain stops, we won't have to worry about the rising floods."

"That means as the flood rises, we will need to spend a lot of manpower and resources to find a way to prevent the flood from flooding our walls."

"As Captain Yin said, the ancient city wall has been repaired and can completely block the flood, but I want to ask a question. The lowest point of the ancient city wall is eight meters, and the highest point is twelve meters. If the flood level reaches eight meters, what should we do?"

"Humph!"

Yin Jipeng snorted coldly:

"Impossible. The flood water level will reach the height of eight meters of the ancient city wall. Most of Jiayu City will be flooded."

"Besides, even if the water reaches eight meters, I have a way to deal with it."

"Oh? Then tell me about it." Ma Zhunzhi raised his eyebrows and looked at him in disbelief.

Yin Jipeng became more and more unhappy when he saw Ma Zhunzhi's expression.

"The sand and soil can be piled up to at least three or four meters high. If everyone in our base works together, I am confident that we can pile it even higher. Seven or eight meters is not impossible."

"hehe."

Ma Zhunzhi sneered, "You mean, if the heavy rain continues, even if the sandbag stacking you mentioned is feasible, have you ever thought about what will happen?"

"At that time, our entire base would be like being surrounded by a flood, with the water level higher than our house! If the sandbags can't hold on and the dam breaks, do you know what will happen to us?"

"die!"

Ma Zhunzhi said this and stood up.

Staring at Yin Jipeng, he said seriously:
"Captain Yin, even though we don't get along, this is a matter of life and death. I hope you can put aside your prejudice."

He looked at the boss, clasped his fists and said:
"Boss, I suggest that we send three teams out of the base by boat, find the blockage, blow it open in one fell swoop, dredge the river, let the flood flow out, and solve our worries in one fell swoop."

"I knew you didn't fart well!"

After hearing what Ma Zhunzhi said, Yin Jipeng was furious.

"You know there are zombies in the flood outside! If you row out and a zombie climbs on you, you'll be dead for sure!"

"You don't take your brothers' lives seriously, you beast!"

When Ma Zhunzhi heard the word "beast", his eyebrows twitched.

He was a little embarrassed, thinking to himself: This is a coward! I can't plot with him!
"you"

"Humph!"

Ma Zhunzhi felt that it was a bit cheap for him to argue with Yin Jipeng, so he simply turned his head, sat down heavily on the stool, and said nothing.

Silence. For a minute.

The big guy sitting at the top was listening the whole time without interrupting.

After listening to their conversation, I understood what the dispute between them was about.

Both methods have their own advantages and disadvantages.

The boss's eyes moved slightly, his mind raced, and he broke the awkward silence.

"Cough cough."

"I wonder if there is a possibility to use our heavy artillery to directly bomb that area to dredge the river."

Upon hearing this, Ma Zhunzhi nodded, but quickly shook his head.

“It’s possible, but if the position is not accurate enough, you can only shoot blindly.

If we target that area for bombing, according to calculations, if we want to cover such a large area and blast away the mud and sand, this amount of ammunition will be needed.”

"It will probably take quite a bit, um. It should be a lot."

"But if we send people over to figure out the exact blockage point, the amount of ammunition we'll need will only be one percent."

After hearing what Ma Zhunzhi said, the boss knew what was going on.

Yin Jipeng simply didn't want to lose manpower.

But from an economic perspective, Ma Zhunzhi's proposal must be the most appropriate.

It saves ammunition and takes the initiative to attack, solving all worries in one fell swoop. We no longer have to worry about rising flood levels like we do now.
