Chapter 227
Chapter 227
The supplies are already in place, and the villagers in the small town are almost ready.Su Chen made a decisive decision and immediately asked Li Shizhen to lead the team to set off, planning to go a while while the rain was still light.
However, not long after Su Chen's team of thousands of people left the town, the rain suddenly became much heavier.
The small town is still a few miles away from the Yellow River, but the roar of the Yellow River can be vaguely heard, which is the sound of the rushing water hitting the embankment.
The villagers in the small town who followed Su Chen were all scalp tingling.
They had heard this sound, and it was the precursor to the dike breaking the last two times, but they didn't know where the dike breaking would appear this time. If it was in the direction they were heading, then they might as well hide back on the mountain.
"Keep going!"
Li Shizhen also turned pale from the sound of the turbulent water in the distance, but he knew that if he turned around, the whole town would not have enough food when the flood came.Their only way to survive is to cross the flooded area to a safe place before the flood occurs.
Everyone also wanted to understand the stakes, and hurried on their way.
Su Chen walked in front of the team and looked at the lightning, thunder, and violent storm in the sky, feeling a little apprehensive in his heart.
There is no cover or lightning rod in this ancient wilderness. From time to time, violent thunder strikes tens of meters to the left and right of the team. The current as thick as a bucket, as long as it hits half a minute, it will be a scorched corpse.
At this moment, Su Chen and the others are betting their lives with God, to see if the thunder will hit their heads.
The impact of the storm was also huge. Su Chen was wearing a rain hat to keep out the rain, but the amount of rainfall was so huge that Su Chen had to reach out to hold the rain hat to ensure that it would not slip off his head.Under this kind of heavy rain, except for those scary electric pillars, Su Chen could only vaguely see a range of 20 meters.
"Be careful, one after another, don't get lost!"
Li Shizhen also noticed the problem of extremely low visibility, and turned around and shouted, but his voice could not penetrate a few meters under the storm.
Li Shizhen yelled a few times and saw that the effect was mediocre, so she was going to go back and inform them one by one.
Su Chen patted him on the shoulder and said, "I'll do it."
After finishing speaking, Su Chen switched to his ancestor's physique and let out a roar.
Zombie roar is unique, it has the power of mind-blowing fear.
"Follow the people in front of you, every once in a while you have to make sure that the people around you are not lost!"
Li Shizhen felt that when Su Chen spoke, the sound of the rain and wind in the sky seemed to become quieter, leaving only Su Chen's roaring voice like a god, implanted in people's hearts.
The rest of the team felt the same way at this time. They heard Su Chen's words clearly and were also surprised by Su Chen's roar.
But now is the time to escape, and everyone quickly refocused on resisting the storm, but kept Su Chen's words firmly in mind, and checked with the people in front and behind them from time to time.
The rain kept falling, turning the ground into mud. Walking on this kind of muddy ground, one foot would sink to the ankle, and then pull out the mud full of feet to continue on the road, which was extremely exhausting.
Soon some women in the team were exhausted, and the information was passed on one by one, and it took a long time before it reached the ears of Su Chen and Li Shizhen, who were at the front of the team.
"Su Chen, shouldn't it be time for a rest?"
Li Shizhen listened to the words from the people behind him, and discussed with Su Chen. At this moment, his scholarly face was pale, and he kicked non-stop.
Su Chen didn't feel anything. Even if he didn't use the physique of the ancestor, his normal physical fitness was much higher than that of ordinary people because of the strengthening of the bottom layer of blood.
"Take a break." Su Chen replied, looked up at the vast wilderness in front of him, looked back at the team whose speed had become extremely slow, and took out the map given by the county magistrate to check the places where he could rest.
The map is made of cloth, but it is not afraid of water. Su Chen reckoned the distance he had traveled, and according to the map, there should be a station not far ahead.
Su Chen determined the destination, cut out the body of the ancestor again and roared, asking everyone to support each other and hold on for a while.
About an hour later, the team of thousands of people led by Su Chen finally saw a post station whose entrance was flooded.
Seeing the post station, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and the woman who couldn't bear it anymore went to the post station first with her baby in her arms.The men tied the carts and ox carts, otherwise the heavy rain would wash away the supplies, and they would have to starve to death on the road.
"Who are you, who allowed you to come in!"
As soon as the women and children entered the inn, someone inside unexpectedly scolded them.
Su Chen and Li Shizhen heard the sound and walked over, and found that there were many people living inside.
These people didn't wear official work uniforms, but they wore very expensive clothes, which were clearly different from the coarse linen clothes worn by villagers in small towns. They should be from some wealthy family.
The villagers dare not go in when they see each other's clothes.
"Hello, we are fleeing to the north, and the rain is too heavy on the way, so we want to hide here." Li Shizhen approached and negotiated politely.
"Come in and hide? The post station is used by the imperial court. Why did you come in just as you said, and who told you to move? Do you have official documents?"
The ancient post station is the property of officials, and only officials who pass government documents and military information can use it.
Civilian ones are generally called inns, but in this flood, how can the inns and wild stores survive? Either they were washed away by the floods or the stores simply gave up their operations.
Li Shizhen also understands that the post station is not for civilian use, but at this moment he can only understand it emotionally and rationally: "We know that the post station is used by officials, but now that there is a catastrophe, we just want to use a place to rest. How about continuing to leave after the hour?"
"It's nothing to say, you can rest at the door by the wall at most, and you must not come in!"
The person in the station said decisively, his tone full of superior pride.
Su Chen couldn't hear these words the most, and rolled up his sleeves to solve the problem violently. At this moment, a sound came from a room in the station.
It was a nice female voice: "Lin An, let them in."
"Miss?" The person called Lin An echoed and asked for confirmation, but the woman did not speak again.
He didn't dare to be presumptuous, so he looked back at Su Chen and the others, and snorted coldly: "Hmph, Miss is being merciful to let you in, I warn you, don't make noise here, it will affect our lady's rest, I will let you go out immediately !"
Lin An looked at Su Chen's team of thousands of people, without any feeling of fear.Su Chen looked at the other party's behavior and guessed the other party's identity.
He called the people in the room Miss, this inn belongs to the official family, that is to say, the lady is from the official family.
Naturally, women can't really be officials, they can only be people in the royal family...
I won't meet a certain princess on the road.
"Boom!"
While Su Chen was thinking, suddenly a loud sound came from a distance, followed by a continuous sound like rolling thunder.
Everyone frowned instantly, and looked in the direction of the Yellow River in horror.
The embankment broke!
