rebirth of cataclysm

Hu Mingchen and others were all worthy of raincoats, but for the convenience of movement, none of them wore them.

At this time, it was raining heavily, so everyone had no choice but to move forward in the rain.

"Should we find a place to take shelter from the rain? This rain may not stop for a while." Hao Yang wiped the rain off his face and asked Hu Mingchen.

"A little rain won't kill anyone. Now, maybe there are still more people waiting for us in the heavy rain." Hu Mingchen said resolutely.

"Everyone use flashlights and pay attention to various situations. If it rains heavily, be sure not to be too far apart and reduce the speed to ensure safety." Fang Guoping controlled the motor and shouted to the surroundings.

Hu Mingchen took out the waterproof flashlight he carried, leaned against the bow of the boat, and shined the light into the night sky in front of him.

This is a main channel (the main street of Weidong City). On their way forward, Hu Mingchen and others also encountered some rescue boats rushing in from the city in the rain, and the other party also turned on a flashlight.

In this situation, Hu Mingchen and others would deliberately avoid it and let them, who had already carried the disaster-stricken people, go first.

"Comrades, the rain is too heavy and it affects the visibility. Why don't you come back with us and wait for the rain to stop before we can rescue you." At this time, a rescue boat came to the side. On the boat, there was a man wearing a shirt and a life jacket.

The man said loudly.

On their boat, there were several staff accompanying them.

"Leader, thank you for your concern. Let's go there again. Compared to the trapped people, a little rain is nothing." Hu Mingchen responded loudly.

"What a nice young man, thank you. I thank you on behalf of our millions of people affected by the disaster. You must be safe."

Since the two boats did not come to a standstill, but only slowed down, by the time they had this brief conversation, they had already passed each other.

Hu Mingchen just waved his hand at the other party: "We will pay attention."

Later, the leader thanked Hu Mingchen and the other boats they were following loudly.

"Hu Mingchen, how do you know he is the leader?" After completely missing him, Hao Yang looked back and asked Hu Mingchen.

"Because he calls us comrades, because he wears a shirt, and because of his age and being accompanied, these are all standard features of a leader." Hu Mingchen explained to Hao Yang.

However, a leader is a leader, and it is not clear what level of leadership he is at.

After walking a little further, Hu Mingchen and the others left the main channel and entered the connecting roads and alleys of Dongcheng District.

"Is there anyone? Is there anyone trapped? Is there anyone who needs help getting out?" When the boat entered a narrow alley, Hu Mingchen shined the light of his flashlight around and shouted loudly.

"Is there anyone? Does anyone need help?"

At this time, in this vast body of water, only the sound of rain and Hu Mingchen's voice echoed.

There is also a skill to shouting like this. The voice should be loud and clear, but it cannot be shouted continuously or everyone shouts indiscriminately. There must be a pause, otherwise, if someone responds, they may not be heard.

So every time Hu Mingchen shouted, everyone pricked up their ears and listened, and even the rescue boat's motor was reduced to the minimum.

"Hey..." Suddenly, a deep voice came from the upstairs on the right.

Because there was no light around, Hu Mingchen and the others could only identify the direction through sound. At the same time, several flashlights were also fired in that direction.

"Fellow, do you need help? Are there any patients or people who need to go out?" After a few seconds of silence, Hu Mingchen asked loudly again.

"Thank you, thank you, my family can still hold on, I just want to say thank you..." The rich and crying voice came again.

At this time, Hu Mingchen and the others quickly captured the scene, and the flashlight had even illuminated the figure of the elder brother.

On the sixth floor of a distant building, which is also the top floor window, stood a middle-aged man wearing a gray T-shirt.

While waving to Hu Mingchen and the others, he covered his face and wiped the corners of his eyes.

"Brother, is there anyone else in your family? Do you have any reserves? Do you want to go out with us?" Hu Mingchen asked again.

The elder brother shook his head: "We are just a couple at home. We have food and liquefied gas, so we won't cause any trouble to you. The neighbors have entrusted us to look after their homes, and we can't leave."

Hearing that there were no elderly people or children, and that there was food and liquefied gas, Hu Mingchen and the others did not ask the other party to go out together, but continued to search forward.

Behind them, there was a faint voice from the elder brother: "Thank you, it's a safe idea...".

At this moment, the corners of each of Hu Mingchen's eyes were wet, with rain and tears of emotion.

"Is there anyone? Is there anyone who needs help?" Hu Mingchen calmed down, raised his hand to wipe his face, and paged loudly again.

After shouting several times, the rescue boat advanced a hundred or ten meters, but there was no response.

"Is there anyone? Is there anyone who needs help? Someone heard..." Hu Mingchen's voice suddenly stopped.

Just when others were wondering why he didn't ask about it, there was a faint thumping sound in the alley on the left.

Hu Mingchen raised his hand to clean up Fang Guoping, and then shined the flashlight over there: "Is there someone? Is someone in need of help?"

However, this time there was silence over there, and of course, the sound of rain was still there.

"Did you hear it wrong on a rainy day? There seems to be no one's voice?" Hao Yang knelt on the rescue boat, staring at nothing.

"No, there is definitely someone, I can hear you clearly." Hu Mingchen didn't look back, stared in that direction and responded to Hao Yang, then Fang Guoping said: "Brother Fang, go in slowly."

Fang Guoping changed direction, and the rescue boat entered the alley.

There are all private red brick houses on both sides of the alley, with only one floor. They are basically flooded. Most of the houses that can still be clearly seen are two- and three-story houses.

Hu Mingchen held his breath and concentrated, his eyes wide open, his ears erect, and he paid attention to every place around him with the light of the flashlight.

"There, that person is there." Suddenly, Hu Mingchen raised a finger with his right hand.

Fang Guoping and Hao Yang followed the direction of Hu Mingchen's fingers and the scope of the flashlight, and indeed saw a figure on the second floor of a small building over there.

"Who? Who is there? Do you need help?" Hao Yang asked loudly.

"No, we don't need help. You can leave. We are just cleaning up at home." After Hao Yang asked, a burly man walked to the window and responded loudly and politely.

"Who among you is at home? Are there no elderly or children? Do they want to go out?" Hu Mingchen asked.

"They have just been picked up by other rescue workers. Now we two brothers are looking after the house. Thank you, we are fine." The man replied waving his hand.

"Oh, be careful then. Is there something to eat in the house?" Hu Mingchen asked again worriedly.

"Yes, the steamed buns are steamed. Thank you. Go and see if anyone else needs help. Thank you."

Hu Mingchen scratched his head. Since, like before, they didn't need help, they had no choice but to give up.

"Brother Fang, let's go and look elsewhere."

After Hu Mingchen finished speaking, Fang Guoping slowly pulled out the rescue boat.

However, just after retreating three or four meters, Hu Mingchen quickly put the flashlight closer and whispered to Guoping and Hao Yang: "No, there is something wrong with the two of them."

"Why do they have problems?" Hao Yang asked doubtfully.

"Look over there." As he said that, Hu Mingchen shined his flashlight towards the large iron gate of the yard.

Fang Guoping and Hao Yang also saw it at this time. Just outside the big iron gate, leaning against a small wooden boat, the rope was still tied to the top cone of the iron gate.

"A small boat can't explain anything." Hao Yang frowned.

"There is indeed a problem. They have their own boat, so why do they need the rescue team to take the family out? Moreover, when we asked just now, they didn't respond..." Fang Guoping replied.

"They must be thieves taking advantage of the fire, these bastards." Hu Mingchen gritted his teeth.

After Hu Mingchen made this judgment, they could not make the innocent people who were already suffering worse suffer.

Soon, Fang Guoping summoned Pei Qiang, Lao Liang, and Lao Peng from the other two rescue boats.

Three boats surrounded the small yard from both sides, and then four people went into the water.

The people who went into the water were Hu Mingchen, Fang Guoping, Pei Qiang and Lao Liang.

The others turned off their flashlights, and the four of them climbed over the wall in the sound of rain and entered the yard. After that, they slowly swam to the stairs to the second floor.

"The one with the special code was you just now. If you hadn't been careful, you wouldn't have attracted anyone." The big man who just spoke was scolding his companions in a house.

"Who knew that people would come this late at night and it was still raining? Those people are already full and they are just looking for something without finding a place to hide from the rain." Another person complained unconvinced.

"No matter what, we still have to be careful. Many people's houses are empty, but there is no guarantee that we won't be bumped into." said the burly man.

"I know, I know, let's rummage quickly. We'll go to other houses later to check it out. If we do it for one night, it will be as good as a year of work outside, haha."

"Only take valuables, money and jewelry, and don't take anything else...Don't shine your flashlight outside, otherwise you'll attract people later."

"Didn't you close the curtains? You can't see clearly without using a flashlight." Another man said disapprovingly.

"If you can't see clearly, can we help you illuminate it?"

As soon as this sound came out, the two people in the room were startled. Immediately, the door was pushed open, and four flashlights shone on the pair of thieves.

"Who are you? Why did you come to my house? You'd better get out." The burly man panicked, suppressed his nervousness, and sat down to calm down.

It's just that this guy was stammering when he spoke, and his inner panic was clearly revealed.

"Your family? Your family is so rich? Is your family the whole place around here? You are a thief, but you are so shameless." Hu Mingchen gritted his teeth and cursed.
