Chapter 943: A God Descends!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Every year in late July, the most difficult period for global flood defense would arrive.
That year was especially difficult.
It was not known if it was because of the few thermonuclear weapons that Su Yang threw at the North Pole, or because Su Yang added a few points at the North Pole that affected the climate there. Or perhaps it was purely because of global warming in recent years.
In any case, the rate at which the icebergs in the North Pole were melting had increased significantly over the past two years.
This also caused for there to be more rainfall globally.
This makes it much harder for countries around the world to defend against floods.
And that was the worst year in fact.
Among all countries, China was one of the most seriously affected ones.
Starting in late June, the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River suffered five consecutive rain strikes.
Among them, from June 21st to 24th, the most powerful rainfall had occurred in the south since the flood began. The continuous rainfall in the Xiajiang Embankment, Hengdong, Yiyang, and other places broke the historical peak.
The Drought River Nine River to the Great Tong River segment and the Splashing Sun Lake, Dongting Lake, and many other tributaries occurred, leading up to an ultra-high flood alert to be raised.
The extraordinary floods that would only befall once every 50 years were emerging.
According to the estimates of the experts, if a flood of this level was not properly treated, it would spread far and wide. Based on previous years’ data, the number of people affected was more than 10 million, which involved four provinces, 30 cities, autonomous states, and hundreds of counties.
What was even worse was that before the flood was properly arranged, the super strong typhoon started to land from the Zhejiang Province’s coastline. When it landed, the largest wind around the center had reached Level 17.
According to the estimates of experts, this super strong typhoon was the strongest typhoon in China in 48 years.
If it was not properly dealt with, this typhoon would be larger than the area affected by the flood. Based on the route, it could affect nine provinces, dozens of cities, and thousands of districts and counties. The estimated number of people affected was about 15 million.
If the two calamities were to combine, it would most likely lead to more disasters, adding to the disaster of the affected provinces.
In an instant, the entire country was mobilized to protect the disaster that affected half the country.
…
At the same time, near the Xiajiang Embankment, the most important dam in the Yangtze River during the flood.
A beautiful “asian woman” and… A husky appeared out of nowhere.
The Asian woman’s skin was fair, and her eyebrows were sharp. She looked very pretty and brave. Meanwhile, the husky beside her bounced around like he was mentally challenged. Occasionally, he would run up to lick the woman’s legs.
A genuinely lustful dog.
Walking on the road that led to the river embankment, the husky asked the woman, “Honey, why did Su Yang call us here?”
The woman said, “My Lord said that our country will suffer the most from this global catastrophe. According to the data given by the country, it might affect tens of millions of people.
“He can’t bear to see this happen, so he’s asked us sharkmen to stop this disaster.
“Coincidentally, he wants to use this grand occasion to tell all humans that a new era is arriving, so they are to get ready before he adds the point to Earth.
“Which is why… He sent us here.”
The husky asked curiously, “Then… Why did he ask you to change your appearance?”
The woman said, “Because he doesn’t want my westernly appearance to be used as an excuse by some foreigners, so he made me change my looks.”
The husky nodded as if it understood. Then, it looked up at the sky and asked curiously, “Will this dam really burst and cause a flood?”
The woman also raised her head to look at the sky. “Yes, it will under this continuous storm. Actually, the water level has already exceeded the dam’s capacity. Seeing that the storm has no intention of stopping, there might be problems.”
What the woman did not mention was that after becoming a Platinum Race, the shark race’s connection with water had increased greatly.
In her senses, the entire Xiajiang Embankment was filled with water vapor, which meant that this place would soon turn into a lake…
…
Meanwhile…
“Dear viewers, this is the National TV Station. At this moment, we have arrived at the Xiajiang Embankment’s flood line.
“At the end of June, there was a storm in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, causing the water level to rise.
“In order to reduce the losses as much as possible, the country urgently mobilized resources to fight for disaster relief and evacuate the citizens who lived along the coast. They even sent hundreds of thousands of soldiers to rescue them.
“What you’re looking at now is the situation at the Xiajiang Embankment.”
As the reporters wore their raincoats and started streaming in the rain, the scene of the countless soldiers spreading the flood sandbags at every corner of the embankment was broadcasted to the eyes of every person watching the news.
When fighting against disasters, resisting the disaster was second priority, while the safety of the civilians came first.
In the face of such a large-scale natural disaster, it was impossible to rely on the country’s efforts alone. To let the victims know what they were experiencing, they had to invoke their will to save themselves. They also had to use the television broadcast to let those with ambition participate in the disaster relief.
This was the only way to minimize the damage caused by the disaster and make the reconstruction process even faster.
Every time there was a large-scale disaster, there would be countless nameless heroes. It was because they traveled thousands of miles to help the disaster area that the original disaster area became a beautiful city.
Seeing the soldiers fighting against the flood, the viewers in front of their televisions were all moved to tears. They hated the disaster, but they were also proud of their country and these soldiers.
Actually, there had been communications before the interview at the embankment had taken place.
Even though it was only for a short period of time, it would still affect the entire process of the disaster relief. Therefore, after a hurried report, the reporter boarded the interview helicopter and continued to broadcast the whole process.
Under the helicopter, the soldiers braved the torrential rain and shouted their numbers. They carried sandbags and tools as they bravely charged up the dam. The reporters were also explaining enthusiastically.
However, gradually, the reporters and soldiers realized that something was wrong.
Because the water was flowing faster and faster, the amount of sand and soil it carried increased.
Meanwhile, the water level on the dam also became higher and higher.
The group of experts with the water supply kept measuring the area. Their faces were wet, and it was unclear whether it was sweat or rain.
After measuring for a long time, he stood up, crossed his arms, and shouted at the command center, “We can’t block it anymore! We can’t block it anymore! If we continue, there will be big problems!”
Some of the big shots who were in charge of this area quickly went forward to communicate with the experts.
After the exchange, he hurried back to the command center and picked up the phone beside him.
After conversing on the phone for a while, he hung up and returned to the group of experts. He shook his head with a frown. “This is bad! The water level downstream has also become very dangerous. If we let the water flow out, they’re finished!”
More and more sweat dripped down the forehead of the water expert. They hurriedly took out paper and pens to carry out some calculations, and their expressions became more and more serious.
The torrential rain this time was too violent. With the addition of the typhoon, the entire Xiayang Embankment was filled with water. There was no way to guide it.
‘Right now, the embankments have almost reached their limit. If something goes wrong at this point, the whole place is going to collapse.
The leading expert paced back and forth on the dam for a long time. Finally, he gritted his teeth and hurried back. Then, he shouted, “The current is getting faster and faster. We have too much water stored here. Once the barricade gets rushed over, the entire downstream will be finished!
“We have to release the water. Firstly, we have to relieve the pressure on us, and secondly, we have to increase the safety of the upper reaches!
The big shot shouted back, “But they can’t hold on much longer downstream. If we release the water, they will be finished!”
The expert pointed to the side and shouted, “Let’s redirect the water to the side! Xiajiang County is below us, and their overall terrain is a low basin.
“We’ll dig a hole next to the embankment and draw the water there, turning it into a reservoir. This will greatly relieve the pressure on the entire upstream.”
When he heard the expert’s method, the big shot felt a headache coming on. “That’s a big county with a population of several million! Even though the people have all left, who knows if there are still stubborn people hanging around? If the water released ends up drowning the place, forget economic losses, what if lives are lost?”
The specialist’s eyes were red. “If it doesn’t flood! Once the embankment breaks, it will create a chain reaction. The entire Yangtze which contains millions of people will be flooded!”
The big shot’s face darkened. He was obviously not sure what to do. This kind of decision to flood an entire county was too difficult.
However, before he could think of how to deal with this, the phone in the command center rang again.
The big shot quickly ran over and picked up the phone.
There was only one voice coming from the phone. “The upper reaches are about to be breached, you’ve got to hold on! No matter the cost!”
Hearing this voice, the big shot did not hesitate anymore. He put down the phone and turned to the group of experts.
“Dig open the dam and let the water flow into Xiajiang!
“Call the person-in-charge of Xiajiang and ask them to confirm if there are any people left in the county. If there are, they are to evacuate immediately! Send a helicopter to rescue them!”
The big shot’s orders came one after another, and the entire disaster relief scene became even more tense.
The soldiers were divided into two groups. One group continued to reinforce the dam, while the other group began to dig and find gunpowder.
The live broadcast helicopter clearly recorded everything that was happening before their eyes and then reported the situation to the outside world in real time.
When they heard that the upper reaches were about to be breached, that the river dam was going to release water to the county city to relieve the pressure, everyone in front of their televisions all wiped their sweat.
He was worried about these disaster-resistant teams, the people in the county, and the people downstream.
Many people started to pray silently.
But sometimes, prayers were not heard.
Not long after the boss gave the order, before the river broke through the dam, a cry of surprise came from the river dam. “There are cracks here, come and help!”
Soon after, a similar cry of alarm sounded from the other side. It was clear that the dam was about to collapse!
And just when the dam had a problem.
Suddenly, another call came. This time, because the big shots were also trying to remedy the situation, they did not have time to answer the call. Thus, one of the guards picked up.
When he picked up the phone and heard what the voice said, his face turned pale.
He hurriedly ran out and ran to the big boss. He shouted, “Elder Qin, the upper reaches have been breached!”
This was like bad news, and everyone’s hearts turned cold.
The embankments in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River were like layers of conduction procedures. They could effectively control the flow of water through reservoirs and sluices.
Normally, there was no problem.
However, in this kind of stormy weather, when the dam was fully charged, the dam’s control decreased to the minimum, and it became a reservoir.
Once they made a decision, they would not be able to last much longer!
The big shot’s eyes were red. He shouted, “Dig! Explode that hole with explosives!”
But… it was too late!
The torrential flood was like a wild horse that had been released from its cage, and also like a surging dragon. Carrying boundless water vapor, it swept across the horizon!
The boundless pressure and terrifying presence felt like the end of the world.
Be it the soldiers who were fighting the earthquake or the reporters who were livestreaming in the air, they were all stunned by this scene!
No one expected things to turn out this way!
In the camera lens, the flood was like a dragon that had been imprisoned for two years. It swayed between the mountains, and every time it swayed, a layer of the mountains on both sides would be scraped off. Carrying the vegetation, trees, and land, it charged straight for the river dam!
When they saw the scene before them, everyone knew that the river dam definitely couldn’t endure this attack!
And once Xiajiang Embankment falls, the downstream was going to be…
“It’s over, it’s over…” Looking at the scene before them, the faces of the water experts turned pale. They could already imagine the situation where seven provinces of the Yangtze River were flooded.
‘How many famous historical sites are going to be affected? How many people would lose all their assets that they had fought hard to earn for so many years? How many people would end up being homeless now?’
For a moment, the people who had been watching the flood rescue on television and online started to scream. Their hands were red from having been clenched so tightly, and their hearts were gripped by anxiety.
The unstoppable heavenly might made people feel the terror of nature once again, and the weakness of humans…
Just as everyone was praying and worrying, all the soldiers who were fighting the flood were about to face the threat of death.
Suddenly, a blue light appeared above the dam with a woman.
It was a beautiful woman. She was very pretty, with sharp eyebrows and a cold expression. She was wearing a palace dress, and beside her… Was a dog.
No one saw when she appeared on the dam.
Even the cameras did not capture how she got up.
However, her elegant aura and the blue light radiating from her body were too conspicuous in the dark rain.
Everyone looked up at her.
And yet… She took a step forward, bringing the dog into the air. Facing the monstrous wave, she stretched out her fair hand and waved it gently.
Everyone present, including the viewers in front of their televisions, clearly heard a clear and crisp and pleasant shout. “Get back!”
In a second…
The flood dragon that looked like the end of the world was really like an obedient kitten. It turned 180 degrees and charged back in the direction that it had come from!
Those who saw this felt goosebumps all over their bodies!
‘What’s going on!
‘Who is that?!
‘Why did the flood obey her orders!
‘Hang on! How is she floating in the air?’
However, the woman did not stop what she was doing. She reached out her hand and moved it in the air.
“Clear the skies.”
Instantly, the rain stopped, the clouds dispersed, and the sky cleared.
Everyone was stunned again.
Whether it was the water management experts, the big shots, or the audience who had been watching the television, they were all stunned by this scene.
At that moment, the “weak” woman turned her head to face everyone and the camera. She said softly, “The Age of Miracles is coming, and the world’s spiritual energy is going to be revived. Every living creature has the possibility of evolving again, and the world order will be reformed.
“As the representative of the Pioneers, I have received orders from my Lord to come and save the children of China’s God.
“Fellow Chinamen, please get ready.
“This could be the best time for you all, or the worst… It all depends on you.”
