Chapter 570: A Ze Country
The overwhelming tsunami had a devastating blow to the entire city of Langton.
At least the inner city still had the past city wall to block it, and it did not immediately face the terrifying tsunami.
Furthermore, the terrain is relatively high, and the outer city serves as a buffer. Except for the areas near the river that are affected by rising tides, the situation in other areas is not too serious.
The tide did flood into the city and flooded the streets, but it did not completely submerge the buildings on both sides of the streets. Most of the people moved to higher places in time, and only a small number of people were washed away.
The only problem was the energy tower. These large buildings with deep foundations were soaked in water. The boilers that were still working were directly filled with a large amount of seawater. Not only did the furnace go out instantly, there was a sudden change. The temperature even caused explosions in steam pipelines and even boilers.
Seeing this scene, the workers who were working hard to build the energy tower were extremely heartbroken. Many people even risked their lives and wanted to rush over and do something, but most of them were stopped.
Only a handful of people actually rushed over, but they failed to achieve anything. They just closed some valves and the like. In addition to preventing further damage, they really had no impact on the wider situation. many.
As for the church sanctuary established by the church, although it has also been attacked, overall it is not a big problem.
Most of the churches are located on high ground. Even though Langton City is located on a plain, there are still some high points such as hills and slopes.
Although these places gradually become less visible as the city develops, their height will not change.
When the tsunami hit, many church shelters were lucky enough not to be flooded. Although the underground shelters may have been flooded, the level was still within the range that the underground shelters could withstand. .
As for those shelters that are not high enough or in a bad location, causing them to be completely flooded...
That can only be prayed for their good luck, and there is no other way.
After all, it was a tsunami nearly 100 meters high, and manpower was completely unable to fight against a disaster of this scale.
At this time, in the outer city, the strongholds of the Evil God Sect were also severely impacted.
Because most people are accustomed to digging out an underground space as an altar underground, the large amount of seawater brought by the tsunami directly swallowed up these underground spaces, and many altars of evil gods were destroyed. of blow.
Perhaps even the evil gods themselves have never thought about the disaster caused by their return, and the first wave of impact directly flooded their altars.
However, for these evil god sects, they are not completely without methods to deal with this disaster.
They either summoned 'god envoys' or sacrificed themselves to perform divine surrender. After using various means, some evil god sects did successfully defend their strongholds without suffering huge losses.
But even so, they also consumed a lot of cards, and overall it is difficult to say whether it is worth it.
And those who were most severely affected were the lower class people living in the outer cities. They had no time to react when the tsunami came, and were directly swallowed up by the nearly 100-meter-high wave, taking their houses and streets with them. washed away.
Conservative estimates suggest that at least hundreds of thousands of people were affected by this disaster. At least half of them were swept away by the tsunami. The chance of survival is slim. As for the affected area? Most of the city was submerged in water, so it no longer mattered how much area was affected. The entire city was now considered a disaster area.
"Is this the power of natural disasters? Just a tsunami has such power. Can human beings really survive the end of the world?" Sandryon was already shocked and lost. I lost my confidence and seemed very confused and helpless.
This is easy to understand. After all, she was just a demigod alchemist who lived for more than a hundred years before the first industrial revolution.
Although her life experience is indeed profound, the things she has seen are really limited.
Not to mention that this kind of tsunami of nearly 100 meters is a rare occurrence for human beings in a thousand years. There has never been such a horrific disaster in historical records. Where can she go to appreciate nature? Tianwei?
Even a demigod, faced with this devastating disaster, can only try to survive.
Want to fight or simply eliminate disaster? If she can really do it, then Sandrillon can really say that she is a god.
Even if she wanted to deny it, the people would think it was God's humility.
"Revere nature. Even if human beings develop for another hundred years, they will still feel insignificant in the face of the power of nature." Perficott recovered faster than Sandrillon at this time. , make yourself rational and firm again.
But at some point, a crown appeared on her head.
“What should we do now?” Seeing Perficott regain his energy, Sandrillon seemed to grasp at a life-saving straw.
"Disaster relief first, and the rest will come later." Purficott, who put on the crown, was very calm and rational at this time, and ordered directly to the captain: "Immediately in the name of the Earl of the North Mobilize all the troops in Langton City for disaster relief, whether they are city guards, guards, or standing armies, move them all!
Evacuate the people to the highlands that have not yet been flooded, and let all the airships dispatch to rescue the trapped people in the city. In addition, let them shout to the entire city, saying that I have arrived in Langton and am presiding over disaster relief! I will address the city a little later. "
After saying this, Perficott looked at Sandrillon and ordered her without hesitation: "You should return to the Alchemist Association immediately and ask all the alchemists who can be mobilized to move. , to make a water pump.
Although the water caused by the tsunami will recede within a few days, it will take too long to wait for the water level to recede on its own, and it is impossible for some underground shelters that have been flooded to recede cleanly.
So we need a large number of water pumps to drain the accumulated water as much as possible, and it must be fast. This disaster is only the beginning. ”
Perficott knows that the storm surge is followed by the landfall of a typhoon. If the water accumulation problem caused by seawater intrusion cannot be dealt with as soon as possible, when the super typhoon that caused the storm surge begins to land, it will cause The damage will be greater
Moreover, the sudden drop in temperature will directly freeze to death the people who lack shelter, and may even freeze the entire city in ice.
So now we must race against time to carry out disaster relief and try to save more things.
Especially those shelters and energy towers that are flooded by water. If you can save one, more people can survive in the future.
