Chapter 152 Engulfed by Torrential Rain(2/2)
"Ba Li Ba Li, run quickly!"
…
Gu Ji opened his eyes suddenly, his heart beating violently.
He was woken up in his sleep by a cry for help.
Turning my wrist, I saw the time on the familiar Volut watch: 5:17. The sky outside the window was overcast, and the sound of raindrops continued, indicating that the heavy rain had been falling all night.
Gu Ji rubbed his eyelids and yawned to temporarily relieve his fatigue.
I took out my mobile phone and saw another message from the weather station in the middle of the night:
"Heavy rain red warning signal: In the past 1 to 2 hours, precipitation has reached 60 mm in many areas of central Assam; 40 to 60 mm of precipitation is expected to occur in the next 1 to 2 hours. Pay attention to preventing urban waterlogging and road traffic safety
; Released by the Assam Meteorological Observatory at 3:43 on October 11, 2024."
“Sure enough, a red rainstorm warning has been issued!”
He couldn't imagine how terrifying it would be if such a heavy rain continued all night. He hurriedly got out of bed, without even having time to wash his face. He took a big drink of water, put on the waterproof underground work clothes he bought yesterday, and picked up his backpack.
, munching biscuits while going down the stairs.
Unexpectedly, when he reached the third floor of the stairs, he met a middle-aged man in white robe on the second floor. He was the hotel owner who took him into the room yesterday.
The boss didn't recognize Gu Ji's attire at first, but he realized it later.
Seeing him carrying his bag and going downstairs, he raised his hands and shook his head, shaking his head and saying:
"Sir! Sir! For your safety, please do not go downstairs now. The streets below have been flooded. You will probably be flooded if you go out!"
"Thank you, but I have to go out. I hope you can keep the room for me!"
Compared with the rising water levels in the city caused by heavy rains, Gu Ji was more worried about his room. During a disaster, it is not easy to find a safe shelter.
After bidding farewell to the hotel owner.
When Gu Ji arrived at the first floor, turbid brown sewage had poured into the steps of the first floor. According to preliminary estimates, it was at least close to half a meter deep. No wonder the boss wouldn't let him out.
You know, this is one of the highest locations in Dispur City.
Even here was flooded by less than half a meter, and he couldn't imagine how those low-lying places would be flooded.
"Wow..."
Gu Ji stepped into the water with his rubber boots. The resistance from the current made it slightly difficult for him to walk. Fortunately, after he acquired the maritime combat training skills, he quickly adapted to this method of wading on foot.
After leaving the hotel.
The heavy rain outside is still falling, but at least it is much lighter than the heavy rain last night. Looking around, the entire alley is submerged in water, a vast ocean, and only a little of the tops of some low buildings further away can be seen.
In the water, countless soaked passers-by with dark skin were carrying furniture or sandbags, seemingly trying to stop the water from pouring into their homes, but it was in vain. Many of them were pushing bicycles or carrying packages on their heads, trying to get on their way.
work.
"The State Disaster Management Department has not issued a statement yet, suspending classes and businesses across the state?"
Just when Gu Ji was doubtful.
"ah--!"
The last atmospheric pressure data was wrong. The data was written incorrectly and has been changed. In addition, I wish everyone a happy New Year!
