Chapter 746 The only hope
At first, the few people didn’t feel anything about the heavy rain. After all, in this cave, they couldn’t get wet or hunger. At worst, they just didn’t go out!
But the heavy rainstorm caused them a little panic.
"Wu Ming, do you think the rain will not just keep going like this, right?" Bai Xiu said worriedly.
Wu Ming smiled and shook his head, "That's definitely impossible. There will definitely be a day when it will stop. And even if you have to worry, it's not our turn!"
"Yes, with such a heavy rain, the poppy plantation should have suffered heavy losses!" Du Yixuan smiled.
"Come here quickly!" Huang Shanshan exclaimed.
The few people ran over in surprise.
I saw that it was originally a small river below, but now it has become a torrent. Not only that, the waterfall has also become much larger. It used to be quite a short distance from this cave, but now I feel that the waterfall is already near the entrance of the cave. You can hear the rumbling sound of the waterfall, and a lot of rain has flowed in.
"Don't worry, even if this waterfall blocks the cave, it's nothing big. At most, some rain will come in. If there is a fire, it will not be much wet here!" Wu Ming said calmly.
He knew that he was the backbone of this team. If he panic, the emotions of this team would collapse.
After hearing what he said, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Even if they were a little uncomfortable, as long as life was worry-free, what's the point?
Another day later, the heavy rain still did not stop. The waterfall had already covered the cave, but the situation was much worse than Wu Ming said. Half of the cave was soaked in water and could not live in people at all. They had to drain water outside every day to keep the last place to sleep from being flooded.
"Brother Wu, will we be drowned by this water!" Huang Shanshan ran to Wu Ming and started crying.
Emotions will spread, and Qian Yingying and the others also burst into tears after hearing this.
Du Yixuan's face was not good-looking, after all, water comes in every moment, and now they have to drain water at night. Not only are they physically exhausted, but they are almost emotionally collapsed.
On the contrary, Bai Xiu's emotions were much more stable. He and Wu Ming had experienced life and death in the Devil's Cave, and his mind became much more tenacious.
"Don't worry, no matter how heavy the rain outside, it is blocked by the waterfall. There is only so much rain coming in, so we will not be in danger of life. It's just that everyone is tired. After the heavy rain, the situation will get better!" Wu Ming said in a deep voice, "In such an environment, everyone must be prepared. Anything may be encountered, so everyone should try to be patient. What's the use of shouting here? Even if you are afraid, what's the use of?"
Everyone fell silent. Obviously, Wu Ming's words now are no longer as effective as before. After all, difficulties and fear are placed in front of everyone.
Wu Ming suddenly picked up a few wooden sticks and placed them on the fire. Suddenly, the flames became even higher and the cave became much warmer.
"Don't worry, have a good meal today and have a good sleep. Maybe the rainstorm will stop tomorrow. Tonight, we are on the night of Bai Xiu tonight. You have a good rest!"
"Wu Ming, I'll be with you!" Du Yixuan said quickly.
Wu Ming shook his head, "Forget it, this water is not that much. Bai Xiu and I are enough. You will suffer if you have one more. You should have a good sleep. You will have to rely on you tomorrow!"
After having a full meal, the cave was very warm. Several girls put their sleeping bags together. Even Du Yixuan came out of her tent and got together with them. Once there were more people, her sense of security increased. In addition, Wu Ming and Bai Xiu were guarding outside, so their sense of fear was reduced.
Soon, they actually started singing, which was very melodious and beautiful, and Wu Ming and Bai Xiu became much more energetic.
I don’t know how long it took to sing, but they slowly fell asleep. Suddenly, snoring sounds started. These girls haven’t slept well for so many days.
Bai Xiu took out two cigarettes from his pocket and threw them to Wu Ming, "The last one!"
Wu Ming smiled, "It's better to have it than not, especially this night!"
"Hey, I hope the heavy rain will stop tomorrow. With such a ghostly weather, let alone these ladies, even I can't stand it!" Bai Xiu sighed.
"Are you much better than girls?" Wu Ming asked with a smile.
Bai Xiu was stunned, and then laughed, "Wu Ming, don't say it, the chance of living with you is always much higher. If it weren't for you, these people would have been in a mess!"
When people encounter difficulties, they always do things that go against common sense to release their fear and despair!
One night, Wu Ming and Bai Xiu started talking nonsense. Later, Bai Xiu was so sleepy that Wu Ming asked him to go back to sleep for a while.
Wu Ming was naturally sleepy, but as soon as the Medical Saint Art was started, the sleepiness disappeared, and instead became energetic.
At this time, the waterfall had covered most of the hole, and the heavy rain outside had already weakened. Wu Ming also breathed a sigh of relief. This damn heavy rain was finally about to stop.
This heavy rain has been falling for more than a week. I don’t know how much the water level of the river below has risen. The surrounding vegetation has been flooded. Originally, the cave is still more than ten meters away from the river surface, but now it is probably less than five meters. Wu Ming is really worried that if the heavy rain falls, it will be difficult for them to survive!
Under such heavy rainstorms, there is no place to shelter from the rain, and there is only a dead end!
Fortunately, in the early morning, the heavy rain stopped. Wu Ming lifted a corner of the curtain and saw that a country of water had become a country in the distance, with only those tall trees standing firm in the water.
"Wu Ming, the rain has stopped, you can rest for a while!" Du Yixuan's voice sounded from behind.
When Wu Ming turned around, he saw her coming over in a coat. It was obvious that she slept well yesterday and looked unprecedented.
"I'm fine, but the heavy rain finally stopped. However, there is too much water accumulation, and the waterfall may not be able to retreat for a while. We will be disturbed by the rain for a while!" Wu Ming shook his head and said.
"This is not a problem. If you get out, make some reeds and weave more curtains, this problem can be solved!" Du Yixuan said.
Wu Ming nodded. Even with the support of the Medical Saint Art, he still needs a rest. The injury he was hit by a wild boar last time has not been healed!
When he slept, he slept until noon. When he woke up, he found Du Yixuan and Huang Shanshan weaving the door curtains, and Bai Xiu was still snoring from the side!
"How did you guys go?" Wu Ming asked with wide eyes.
Did he know that the water below is very deep, at least a few meters deep. Even if the reed is at a higher position, it is still flooded by water. No one knows the danger of such a deep water.
Du Yixuan smiled, "You don't know this, Shanshan is a swimmer and has participated in the provincial team selection. We can't stop her. You didn't see it. She jumped out of this cave before, which scared us all. Fortunately, there was nothing wrong with it!"
Wu Ming nodded. If it weren't for this island, he would have criticized Huang Shanshan for a few words, telling her not to take risks in the future. But now, this is something she must do in this collective!
"Yes, Shanshan has finally made progress!" Wu Ming smiled, "You are all working so hard, so Bai Xiu and I can't be idle anymore. Let's go dig a cave and try to dig the cave early!"
He woke Bai Xiu up and walked to the cave beside him. The gravel he made was still brought to the entrance of the cave to make fortifications.
After one day, Wu Ming and his team made a lot of progress, and they had chiseled more than two meters deep. Du Yixuan and his team's curtains were also made, and the fortifications at the entrance of the hole were rearranged. The water could basically not be in. Tonight, they finally had a good sleep!
"Wu Ming, our food has bottomed out, and the food consumption is far beyond our expectations!" In the evening, Du Yixuan said to Wu Ming in the tent.
Wu Ming also nodded. Under hunger and fear, people's appetite will increase significantly. This surprised Wu Ming and was also very depressed.
"I will go down tomorrow and see. You can't just wait for the water level to drop. I don't expect it to take a month to go, and the water will be difficult to retreat. If there is another heavy rain, we will have to starve to death!"
After hearing this, Du Yixuan nodded slowly, "You must also pay attention to safety. With this big water, it is not so safe. We don't want to eat well. Just fill our stomachs. You know more, like rhizomes, stems, leaves, etc., you can get them back!"
The next day, Wu Ming pulled Bai Xiu and wanted to go out to find food, but when Bai Xiu heard that he was going out, his face immediately turned pale and he couldn't go out anyway.
After working for a long time, I realized that this guy not only knows how to swim, but also feels dizzy and his legs are weak when he sees him!
This would be a bit embarrassing. There are only two men here. Looking for food, they naturally have to do it!
"Brother Wu, let me go with you!" Huang Shanshan took the initiative to stand up and said.
In fact, it was not only Bai Xiu, but also Du Yixuan's water quality was not good. However, Huang Shanshan really became the best candidate.
Wu Ming nodded, "Okay, then let's go out, you are a slut, just stay here to dig a cave!"
When Bai Xiu heard this, he immediately became excited, "Okay, Wu Ming, if I don't dig out one meter today, I, Bai Xiu, will be a woman!"
As soon as Wu Ming turned his head, he saw Huang Shanshan take off her coat, wear only a tight dress, and jump out of the hole!
Although she performed once before, everyone was still shocked by her!
