Real World Simulator

After a plague of locusts, Taguchi Village has since been removed from Xiangping Township.

No one can accept such a result.

But it is what it is.

Under the call of the village chief, the villagers who returned to the village wiped away their tears and began to pack their things.

The village chief took several representatives of the village and rushed towards the county seat.

He wants to report the disaster situation here to the county government and apply for subsidies.

Moreover, he has to report to the county magistrate how to deal with these locust eggs.

Regarding the locust plague, although the Chu State did not have any early-stage response methods, they had a certain way to deal with it after the locust plague.

There are established rules for whether these eggs are burned or turned in the sun, and how to reuse the land here.

It's just that some things are as smooth as donkey skin eggs.

Post-disaster disposal is actually very costly in terms of financial, manpower and material resources.

The disaster situation in Taguchi Village is too severe. Under such circumstances, it is not enough to rely on a single county to restore it.

Therefore, in this case, there is a high probability that Taguchi Village will be abandoned by the county seat, and the villagers here will be coordinated and resettled to other villages. Even if this place is restored later, the original villagers will basically not move back.

After all, in this era of scarce population, land is enough.

If this place is ruined, it will be reclaimed in another place.

This is the most appropriate approach at the moment.

Not long after the village chief left, all the household items were prepared, and when the village chief came back and told them the village they had resettled in, they would set off for a new village.

But at this moment, people in the village suddenly noticed that the sky outside suddenly turned dark.

Not only that, the originally calm sky suddenly began to blow with strong winds.

The villagers who were still in the house, including Fang Yu, all came out of the house and looked at the sky.

I don’t know if I don’t look at it, but I’m startled when I see it.

It was a clear sky before, but at some point it was covered with dark clouds.

Coupled with gusts of wind.

Apparently, a storm was brewing and could fall at any moment.

It didn't really make you wait long.

From the gathering of clouds, the rising of the wind, to the falling of the rain, it took only an hour before and after.

A single drop on the ground is enough to make a raindrop the size of an egg begin to fall from the sky.

The heavy rain was pouring down, and the wind was strong, so everyone could only hide in the house to avoid the rain.

But Fang Yu and Fang Sanduo began to move the firewood next door to the room in a panic.

With such a heavy rain, if they don't move it quickly, once the firewood gets wet, they won't be able to start a fire in the past few days.

Only one-third of the firewood came and was transported, and the rest of the firewood was all wet.

After returning to the room, the doors and windows were still closed, just like the prevention of locust plagues before.

It's just that this time it's not locust leaks, but rain leaks...

Under the action of the strong wind, the rainwater penetrates everywhere, and the water seeps continuously from the window edge, and the roof is also undergoing a waterproof test at this moment.

The results were not good, some areas have started to drip water.

It was originally a summer of drought, but as a result, the sudden rainstorm directly caused the temperature to drop one after another.

Fang Yu and Fang Sanduo couldn't help but took a coat and put it on their bodies, and then began to move the supplies and beds to a place where there was no rain seepage.

After finishing their work, the three of them sat on the stool and looked at each other. No one was in the mood to talk. Everyone just sat in a daze, waiting for the rain to stop.

Fang Sanduo and the two were in a daze, and Fang Yu seemed to be in a daze, but in fact, he was opening the task panel, looking at the sub-quest [Flying Locust] and fell into deep thought.

Nearly half of the time has passed since Fang Yu took over this task.

According to the timeline above, Fang Yu's task will be completed in about 10 days.

But Fang Yu doesn't feel any joy now.

Because, he felt something was wrong...

He has already experienced the locust plague, and judging from the disaster situation, it is indeed very terrifying.

Wherever the plague of locusts passed, the grass and trees were all withered, and the land was bare. As long as there were fields within the area, it would basically be a devastating impact.

In just three days, Taguchi Village was removed from Chu State because of this, and this was just a stop where the locusts passed by.

For the entire Chu State, the damage caused by the locust plague was even more serious than the war.

But, that's the problem.

These problems are big.

So big that it has become a hazard to the entire country.

But, for individuals, especially Fang Yu and the others who had just arrived in Taguchi Village, that was not the case.

The plague of locusts devastated Taguchi Village, but they had only been there for a month.

Because of the preparations in advance, Fang Yu still has enough supplies and the house is still there. Even if they are transferred to other villages, it is not a big problem for them.

Spending the last 10 days like this is like lying down!

But... Will the task be so simple?

Thinking of the tasks given by the system in the past, its difficulty has always been formulated according to Fang Yu's own real-time changes.

This kind of task whose difficulty is not directly proportional to the reward has never been released before.

So this way.

The problem is obvious.

Since the problem is not the locust plague, it means that the real problem has not yet arrived!

So what's the real question...

The pupils in Fang Yu's eyes began to shrink again, and the focus of the pupils was on the ground in front of which a puddle had already formed.

heavy rain? !

"Uncle... I remember, I heard from the village chief that it hasn't rained in Taguchi Village for almost two months, right?"

Fang Sanduo was in a daze, and when he heard Fang Yu's words, he also woke up like a dream.

"Oh... oh! Yes, last time I heard from the village chief that it hadn't rained in Taguchi Village for a long time. If the well and river water were not abundant, the fields would almost have no water for irrigation."

"This rain is also the first rain we have encountered in the past few months..."

After listening to Fang Sanduo's words, Fang Yu lowered his head and seemed to be talking to himself.

"That's right... Really, I almost forgot, this is the first rain we encountered..."

After hearing this, Fang Sanduo realized that this was the first rain they encountered after fleeing to Taguchi Village due to the drought.

Although it was because of the drought, but the rest of the way was because of the famine, so they never paid attention to the drought.

After all, although it was a drought, the water resources have not been lacking much along the way, which made their only memory of the drought be the scorching sun, not the fact that it has not rained for a long time.

"Long drought and plague of locusts...heavy rain...gale wind..."

"Drought...flood? Drought...flood! Flood!! Flood! Mountain torrent?!"

Fang Yu continued to associate the recent events with the observed events, and then diverted his thinking to think about what might happen later.

Then he remembered, modern society's summary of these natural disasters.

For example, there must be locust plagues in severe droughts...and droughts and floods!

In modern climate research, climate change actually follows the laws of nature.

During a severe drought, the evaporated water vapor will not disappear out of thin air. The water vapor will often be carried to other areas by the airflow, and then form large-scale rainfall.

Maybe there was a three-month drought in the east, and it turned out that there was a month of heavy rain in the north.

There is drought and water shortage in the front, and flash floods in the rear.

This is drought and flood disaster.

Moreover, it is also possible that after a severe drought in the same location, there will be continuous heavy rain, and the drought and flood will turn sharply, causing two injuries.

Natural disaster, natural disaster, this is natural disaster!

The more Fang Yu thinks, the more he feels that this idea is becoming clearer.

Heavy rain, torrential rain, and the river and well water in Taguchi Village have not dried up, which means that the river water here is still very rich.

The water level rose under the heavy rain. In this era when the dikes and dams were only sandy soil structures, flash floods were basically unavoidable.

Moreover, heavy rain will not only cause flash floods, but may also cause major hazards such as mudslides and landslides.

These two kinds of hazards generally depend on the forest vegetation conditions.

But Taguchi Village has just experienced a plague of locusts these days!

The mountains and forests are red, how can there be any vegetation? !

Without vegetation to restrict the mountain, it is like a jigsaw puzzle that has lost its frame. Under the heavy rain, the rain seeps and the land cracks. Mudslide!

However, Fang Yu had observed before that Taguchi Village was located in a low-lying area, and there was a small river next to the village.

On weekdays, this small river allows villagers to irrigate their farmland without running back and forth, which is very convenient.

But at this time, this small river is like a guide. As long as there is a mountain torrent, the mountain torrent will wash away the entire Taguchi Village along the river.

But in time, the entire Taguchi Village will not only be removed from the map, but even this area will undergo earth-shaking changes!

This... is the biggest crisis!

Thinking of this, Fang Yu felt a chill rushing from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, which made him shiver.

"Uncle! I'll go out and have a look, you guys stay here!"

After Fang Yu said such a sentence to Fang Sanduo and the others, he opened the door directly, ignoring the exaggerated heavy rain that was falling like a waterfall, and rushed out through the door.

"Why"

Fang Sanduo behind him was still immersed in Fang Yu's words just now. Before he could react, Fang Yu had already closed the door again and rushed into the rain.

"Drought and flood? Mountain torrent??"

Fang Sanduo pondered over the few words Fang Yu just said. As a native farmer, he could understand some things.

So all of a sudden, his face turned pale, and Huang Mei who was beside him also came to his senses.

But at this time Fang Yu had already gone out to investigate, and the two had no way of confirming it. They could only watch and listen to the sound of the wind and rain outside. They clasped their hands tightly and waited nervously for Fang Yu to come back.

At this time, after Fang Yu rushed out of the room, it was raining heavily outside, and the dense rain curtain made Fang Yu unable to see anything clearly.

Even because the rain was too dense, the rain falling on the nose made Fang Yu feel a little unable to breathe.

Under such a violent storm, any rain gear would be useless. Fang Yu lowered his head, braving the rain, and ran towards the location of the small river on the map.

The rain soaked the dirt roads in the village, making the originally hard ground like a swamp at this time. When walking, it was muddy and wet, and even if he tried hard, the straw sandals would stick to the yellow mud, making Fang Yu unable to lift his feet.

After a few times, the straw sandals completely cracked, and Fang Yu could only walk barefoot on the dirt road.

He couldn't run, because the ground was too muddy, and it was easy to slip quickly, but even so, sometimes the stones mixed in the mud made Fang Yu experience what it means to be sour.

One foot deep and one foot shallow, dragging the clothes that were seeping everywhere, came to the bank of the river.

Even if the visibility is not clear at this time, Fang Yu can see that the water level of this small river has skyrocketed.

Because, originally this place should be the shore, but it has also been submerged at this time.

Not only that, the river here has long lost its clarity, but is as turbid as the water of the Yellow River, and there are some weeds and branches mixed in the rushing river.

Do you still remember the wilderness survival knowledge package that Fang Yu obtained in the first world?

In this knowledge package, there are many methods of judging disasters.

As for the scene in front of him, according to the knowledge in his mind, it can be judged that the water level in the upper reaches of the small river must have skyrocketed at this time, and some forests have been washed down by the rain.

That's why there's so much dirt and leaves and branches in the river.

Fang Yu didn't need to go to the village well at this time to guess that the water in the well must be turbid at this time, and there may even be signs of a fountain.

"Boom~~Boom~~"

At this moment, Fang Yu heard several thunder-like noises.

But the thunder was dull, and under the torrential rain, if Fang Yu's hearing was not so sensitive, he would almost not be able to hear it.

And when he heard these voices, Fang Yu's heart was already alarmed.

This is not thunder, this is clearly the sound of a mountain collapsing and a torrent sinking!

Fang Yu couldn't care less about judging.

Flash floods, mudslides.

Even if only one of these two disasters occurs, if Fang Yu doesn't leave Taguchi Village immediately, there will be no end.

die!

There is no accident, even if he has the cultivation base of transforming strength at this time, once he is swept down by the mudslide, at most he can survive the mudslide for a few more hours.

Not to mention, there are countless boulders and giant trees hidden in the river along with the mud and rocks.

These boulders and giant trees are swept all the way down by the height of the mountain, and their power is comparable to that of a truck driving 100 yards on the highway.

What about Huajin?

Even a body of steel will become iron slag under such an impact!

Fang Yu endured the pain of the soles of his feet being cut by the stone, and trot all the way back to his room.

After entering the door, he said to Fang Sanduo and Huang Mei.

"There may be flash floods! Hurry up! Let's take our things quickly! Leave immediately!!!"

With that said, Fang Yu went up and lifted the quilt and began to organize the supplies.

Wrap the Huozhezi and the salt jar with layers of oiled paper, and then tie them to death with hemp rope!

Those jerky hang it directly around the neck.

As for grains and rice, they directly gave up those foods such as flour, and brought rice, some jars of pickles, and simply carried them in a cloth pocket. They didn't bring anything else, so they directly took Fang Sanduo and the others out.

This weather and situation at this time.

Carrying supplies is really difficult.

Fang Yu wanted to bring all of these, but it was obviously unrealistic.

Even with these things, Fang Yu is not sure whether these supplies can accompany them to the end safely.

Fang Sanduo and Huang Mei didn't hesitate at all, they just stepped forward to take some supplies from Fang Yu's body, stepped on their backpacks, and rushed out of the rain curtain with Fang Yu.

"Damn! What about them!!?"

When Fang Yu was going out, Fang Sanduo reached out and pulled his clothes, and asked this sentence loudly.

Fang Yu looked at the rain that was falling harder and harder in front of him, and the palpitations in his heart were extremely strong. He also wanted to tell the people in the village to let them go together.

However, in this situation, even he didn't know whether the mountain torrent would erupt in the next second.

Every minute right now could be the last.

"Uncle! It's too late!"

Fang Yu could only shout this sentence at Fang Sanduo, and then dragged him into the rain curtain.

Huang Mei followed closely behind, and the three of them joined hands and ran towards one direction together against the rain curtain.

Although the rain curtain in front of my eyes was connected, I couldn't see anything clearly.

But Fang Yu still has a map!

At this time, Fang Yu was very fortunate. He had explored the surrounding mountains and forests for hunting a few days ago. Therefore, at this time, every road up the mountain and the height of each mountain were clearly marked on his map.

When a mountain torrent erupts, it is natural to run to a higher place, to the top of the mountain so as to avoid the danger of being washed away by the torrent.

The three of them stumbled towards one of the high mountains in the rain.

During this period, Fang Sanduo and Huang Mei's shoes were all cracked, and the soles of the three of them were pinched or scratched by various stones, but the three of them did not dare to stop at all.

Just as the three of them ran out of the village entrance, Fang Yu heard an explosion resounding through the sky behind him!

"Boom!!! Boom!!! Crackling."
