The fire was lit, and everyone gathered together to feel the temperature of the fire. Finally, it was not so cold, and at this moment, the rain fell.

At first the rain was very light, and they could hear the rain hitting the pavilion. Shen Li stood beside the pavilion, stretching out his hand to catch the rain. When the water dripped on his hand, he felt the bone-chilling cold, and his fingers could feel numb. , Kong Xiangming came to his side trembling.

"Shen Li, aren't you cold?"

"It's not cold." Shen Li withdrew his hand, and the rainwater condensed in his palm dripped down his fingers, "To be honest, I didn't notice that the temperature was dropping before you told me."

Kong Xiangming rubbed his arms, obviously it was much colder here than next to the fire, "What's the reason? You are different from others?"

"Probably because humans are warm-blooded animals, but fish are cold-blooded animals?"

Kong Xiangming wanted to say fart, his awakening direction was snakes, but he didn't show any signs of hibernation, he would only be frozen, but he still didn't say it when he looked at Shen Li's thoughtful appearance, after all, Shen Li was the one who studied biology Man, this kind of thing can only be analyzed by himself.

Still not persevering, Kong Xiangming went back to the fire and continued to warm up. Now it is so cold when the rain just started, and he still doesn't know what will happen afterwards.

The rain was still light, but the wind was getting stronger and stronger. The team leader was checking the temperature. His hands were red from the cold. He was trembling while observing the temperature at the right time. Shen Li came over.

"Leader, let me check the temperature, you go back to warm up first?"

The team leader shook his head, "I'm fine. As the team leader, I have the responsibility to bring you back completely. Although you don't feel cold, your body is still human, and the low temperature will still hurt you. Go and sit by the stove. Frostbite."

It was really hard to resist, Shen Li was finally driven over to sit by the fire, he felt the heat of the flame, but the shivering people around him did not decrease.

The wind was howling, blowing down with fine rain, and soon it was impossible to maintain the temperature even by the stove.

"Team leader." Kong Xiangming asked him, "What's the temperature now?"

The leader's face was not good, he walked over, "Minus eight degrees, and it is still going down."

Although they brought warm clothes this time, they did not bring too much for the convenience of movement, and they only brought this one for the portable stove. They did not expect that the temperature would drop so sharply, and it would rain. The leader and Kong Xiangming Looking at each other, they began to make plans for the next step. The two of them are the core of the team, and they need to discuss what decisions to make.

Shen Li didn't feel the cold, but the surrounding atmosphere told Shen Li that everyone must be very cold, and everyone tried to get closer to the stove.

"How long can we last?"

"How far do you expect the temperature to drop?"

The two spoke at the same time, and then they both froze for a moment.

Then the team leader withdrew his gaze and said, "If the situation is really extreme, I think the temperature will be at least twenty degrees below zero. We have to prepare for the worst."

"Twenty degrees below zero?" Kong Xiangming was a little shocked, and he shook his head after a while, "No, this temperature cannot be slowed down by this small stove. If it really reaches this temperature suddenly, according to the clothes of all of us, it will be frozen directly, especially the It’s raining now, and this pavilion can’t completely isolate the rainwater.”

The team leader also knew the seriousness of the matter, so he asked, "Can we change places?"

"But there is no first place nearby where you can stay temporarily."

The team leader exhaled, and he frowned and said: "Then we can only try to hold on. The tent equipment we brought is all set up, and it can block a little wind. Everyone should get closer. Don't let the heat If we lose, we win if we survive.”

He called the people around to set up all the equipment. They couldn't all go in because there wasn't enough space. They had to take turns to go in to avoid the wind. The rest of the people observed the surrounding situation. The foreman, Kong Xiangming and Shen Li were in the first shift. They watched the situation outside, while the rest went in.

At this moment, no one has any objection. Each of them knows that this is the best measure now, and they can only survive if they are obedient, so they all go back to rest obediently.

At this moment, there was a click, and there was a thunder in the sky.

Lightning illuminated the surroundings, and everyone was startled. With a bang, thunder and heavy rain fell instantly, and the small pavilion was slapped.

"It's raining a lot." Kong Xiangming sighed, "It's even heavier than the rain that fell two days ago."

"Is there no problem with the terrain?" The team leader asked with a frown.

He was worried that when the rain fell, the stagnant water would submerge them, and it would be uncomfortable at that time.

"It's okay, we are halfway up the mountain, the rain will flow down, and we can't accumulate water here." Kong Xiangming made a no problem gesture, "It's just that the terrain of B27 below is relatively low. If it really goes down like this, it will probably take Prepare for flood protection."

Shen Li squatted next to the pavilion and watched the heavy rain outside which could be seen with the naked eye. "The B27 area is low-lying and easy to accumulate water. There must have been a complete flood discharge equipment ten years ago."

"It's not the same." Kong Xiangming shook his head, "After the heavy fog, the plants are mutating, and most of the prevention and control equipment is blocked by plants. In the past few years, we have dredged the pipes in this area, but the effect is not very good. If it is really It is estimated that the effect of flood discharge will be very unsatisfactory due to the rare heavy rain.”

"What are you doing? The water conservancy department is dealing with it outside. The most important thing for us now is how to survive." The team leader interrupted their worries about the B27 area, "Xiao Kong, have you sent a distress message?"

"Sent, they are trying to rescue." Kong Xiangming said: "But we are a little far away from the starting position, and it is dark again, and this is still a place where we have never been. Rescue is very difficult, and the heavy rain... is too difficult gone."

The team leader sighed, "That's right, it's really not the right time for the rain."

It was neither too early nor too late, and it started to fall in the evening, so that they were neither going up nor going down, so they could only be trapped here.

After guarding outside for a while, even squatting by the stove, they still couldn't help shivering. The team leader glanced at the temperature, and it was already ten degrees below zero. vitality.

Shen Li was fine, neither shivering nor stiff, and even had the leisure to observe the rain that was already pouring down.

"Shen Li." Kong Xiangming still couldn't hold back, "Are you really not cold?"

"not cold."

Kong Xiangming didn't quite believe it, he took Shen Li's hand, and unexpectedly found that his hand was still warm, so he couldn't help approaching Shen Li, and found that it was unexpectedly warmer beside Shen Li than by the stove.

"Shen Li, you are so warm."

"Ah?" Shen Li thought for a while, "Maybe it's because of the fluorescent grass. The fluorescent grass can emit light. The light is sunlight. Besides lighting up the darkness, sunlight also has heat. That's probably why I don't feel cold. .”

The team leader also leaned over, and he said in surprise, "Really, it is indeed warmer beside Shen Li than in other places."

Shen Li didn't mind that they were very close to him, the sky was getting darker and the rain was getting heavier, Shen Li tried to go online to check the news below, but found that the network that was not smooth due to the impact of the heavy rain had been fully connected It's gone, and the radio signal is unstable.

With a click, another flash of lightning flashed in the sky, Shen Li looked towards the place where the thunder struck, and he seemed to see something in the flash of light.

He frowned slightly, and looked in the direction just now, waiting for the next bolt of lightning.

Ka, another flash of lightning, this time he clearly saw that place, which was the top of the mountain, as if something was moving.

"Shen Li, what are you looking at?" Kong Xiangming noticed Shen Li's abnormality.

Shen Li nodded, and he pointed there, "Do you think there is a landslide over there?"

"Landslide?!" The voice of the team leader was frightened.

They hurriedly stood up and looked at the position Shen Li pointed at. The three of them waited for the lightning to light up together. The lightning struck horizontally and hit the hill next to them. The explosion scared everyone who was hiding in the tent out. At the same time, the three of them finally caught the thunder and saw clearly what the mountain looks like.

The faces of the team leader and Kong Xiangming became uglier than the other.

This mountain was originally a terraced field, but it was abandoned after the heavy fog, and finally became the home of some wild animals. I don’t know when some animals moved stones to build their nests on the top of the mountain. Now the stones are moving under the heavy rain. , It was about to roll down.

Judging from this height, when the stone comes down, it will inevitably carry mud, and then it will be a standard landslide + mudslide.

They are halfway up the mountain and will not be flooded, but none of them can escape when the landslide comes down.

"We have to change places! We have to go even if it's raining!" The leader immediately took out the map from his backpack, "Xiao Kong, hurry up, let's study where we can go, this can't wait for us."

Kong Xiangming also knew that he was in a hurry, he hurriedly started to look at the location, he marked their current location, and then tried to find a place that could escape the disaster.

Shen Li followed him to look at the map. The area they were in was a scenic spot, and there were only some ornamental buildings in the scenic spot. Most of these buildings were not too strong, at least not strong enough to withstand mudslides. It was a very lucky thing for this pavilion to survive. .

That is to say: they cannot find a shelter nearby.

"No, it won't work here, it's not strong enough." Kong Xiangming drew an X on the map, "It won't work here either, it can't stop the rain. If it rains so heavily, if the body gets wet and continues to pour cold water, people will quickly lose temperature and freeze. Die, no no no."

Shen Li looked at the map, and after a while he pointed to an area, "What about here?"

"Here?" Kong Xiangming looked carefully, and after a while he shook his head, "Not here, this is a botanical garden, dangerous..."

Then he got stuck and kept staring at this place, "Maybe it's okay here."

"The construction strength of the Botanical Garden is very high, and this place can avoid mudslides and rain. Although the situation of the Botanical Garden is not clear, it is dangerous anyway. It may save lives if you venture in." He said, looking at the leader, " Let's get out of here collectively."

The team leader frowned slightly, "Is there really no problem?"

"The main reason is that now we have a better choice. This is the only position that can be regarded as a chance."

The team leader nodded slightly, "Okay, then go here."

As he spoke, he began to greet everyone, and after explaining the situation to everyone, they decided to brave the rain and head to the botanical garden one kilometer away.

Shen Li followed them to pack their things, and then the team leader gave an order, and they went into the rain together. The rain was heavy, and they were shivering from the cold as soon as they stepped into the rain, but now they had no choice but to bite the bullet and go outside. When the rain hit his body, Shen Li finally felt cold.

The rain was like ice water that had been frozen in the refrigerator for a long time, and it hurt a little when it hit the body, making one wonder if it was rain or hail.

It is very difficult to move forward in this kind of heavy rain or at night. Under the erosion of cold, some people will soon be unable to hold on, and they speak out of breath.

"Leader, how long do we have to go?"

But the rain was too loud and the sound was a little unclear.

"What did you say?"

"I said how long is it?"

"We're halfway there, we'll be done soon, everyone keep going." Kong Xiang yelled back.

Everyone could only sigh and continue walking.

At this moment, there was a crackling sound, and a thunderbolt fell very close to them. It hit the nearby tree with a sharp sound, and the tree fell down with a crackling sound, and the flames ignited instantly, scaring everyone around. After a jump, the flame didn't burn for long in the heavy rain, and it was quickly extinguished.

"I was scared to death." The team leader wiped the water off his face, and then he patted the man outside, "Old Sun, keep going."

But as soon as he put his hand on it, the team leader immediately felt his fingers pricked. He subconsciously withdrew his hand, but his entire palm was numb for a moment. Looking at Lao Sun again, after the team leader's slap, he fell stiffly, He fell face down in the rain, completely stiff, and buried his face in the water.

"Old grandson?!"

"Don't touch him, there's electricity!" The team leader shouted, "Stay away from him, everyone!"

The rain was pouring down, and everyone looked at the old grandson who fell on the ground in horror.

The rain was heavy, and each of them was covered with water. Water is a very good conductor, that is to say, as long as they approached, everyone would be shocked.

But he couldn’t leave him there. The team leader gritted his teeth. He frowned and looked at Lao Sun, then rummaged through his pockets. Kong Xiangming blocked him from the rain. He dried his hands as much as possible and put on insulating gloves, then walked to Lao Sun. They turned him over beside him, and the doctor also walked over. They looked at Sun with flashlights. The doctor tried to give first aid, but after more than ten minutes of rescue, the doctor stopped breathing rapidly.

"No, I've stopped breathing for too long, and I can't be saved."

The team leader closed his eyes, and he looked around. After a while, he picked up Lao Sun's body and placed it on the stone beside him.

"If we can come back alive, we will take his body away. If we can't, we can only leave him here."

Everyone watched the leader's movements quietly. They were silent, as if they were quietly watching Lao Sun's departure, as if they were going to send him off for the last time. Each of them made such preparations: one day Will die by accident, and at some point will watch the death of the person who was standing beside me just now.

Shen Li stood in the rain, and Kong Xiangming stood beside him.

He asked Shen Li, "What do you think?"

"To such a death."

Although his voice was trembling because of the cold, Shen Li knew what he meant.

"I don't know." Shen Li finally replied.

He didn't know, and didn't quite know how to react now.

The person who was walking with me just now suddenly died in the rain, and was still affected by Lei Bo in such an unexpected way of death. Shen Li felt very strange. It was difficult for him to explain his current mood. Saddened by the death of a person.

But everyone present was so used to it, they watched the leader move the man to the stone as usual, and watched him leave.

No one cries, no one has a sad face, like they've been through this a million times before, and they don't feel sorry for it in the end.

Each of them knew this was going to happen and they were prepared for it.

This is a completely different atmosphere from Shen Li. Those who have experienced the fog have already silently divided themselves and accepted it all.

Shen Li thought: This is not a compromise.

Shen Li thought of himself again, he thought: How is my own thinking not a kind of naivety.

He also finally understood why Kong Xiangming said that he was different from others, they were just different, Shen Li was still a naive yearning for the future, and they had long since abandoned their naivety, it was more like witnessing and accepting the reality than looking at the future.

After settling down the corpse, the leader let out a long breath.

"Everyone keep going, we're almost there."

There were not many responses. On a cold rainy night, they didn't have much strength to soak in the rain, so it would be nice to be able to respond.

At this moment, they felt the ground shaking, the vibration was so great that some people even fell to the ground without standing still.

"What's going on? An earthquake?"

"There's an earthquake now? How unlucky is that?!"

"It's a landslide!" Finally someone saw the boulder falling from the top of the mountain, and the boulder was mixed with mud and rushed down.

Although they were a little bit off, the landslide could still affect them once they came down. Their eyes were wide open, and they ran forward quickly under the leadership of the team leader. At this moment, they used their life's ability to run against the rain.

No one was in the mood anymore, one was leading the way, and the team leader greeted everyone at the back to prevent anyone from falling behind.

The stones and mud uprooted the big tree, and the half-leafed tree rushed down with the mud. Everyone was scared out of their wits, and they dared not take a step slower.

Soon they saw the pitch-black botanical garden. The gate of the botanical garden was open, and it looked solid even under the washing of the rain. They ran forward in a hurry. He pulled his hands up, and finally put down his hands and continued to run forward.

The person who fell was frozen and stiff. He tried to get up in a hurry, but he couldn't control his hands and feet. He could only watch the mudslide rushing down, and the screams rang in everyone's ears.

People's running speed is far behind the speed of mudslides flowing down. The action department of the Special Bureau has better physical strength than others. They stepped into the botanical garden first, and then stretched out their hands to everyone. Shen Li's physical strength is not very good. He gradually became the last group of people, and when he arrived at the botanical garden, the mudslide happened to come down.

Shen Li stretched out his hand, but Kong Xiangming grabbed him the moment he was washed down by the mudslide.

Kong Xiangming pulled him in, and Shen Li fell to the ground with mud on his face and clothes.

"Ah..." Kong Xiangming collapsed on the ground, "I'm so scared to death."

Shen Li panted heavily, and after he calmed down a little, he looked at the mudslide behind him. The botanical garden was located on a high terrain, and the location of the construction was quite clever. The mudslide did not submerge it, but the mudslide did sweep away several people just now.

After regaining his senses, the team leader began to count the number of people. In the silence where no one responded after shouting and the team leader calling his name three times, Shen Li sat down on the ground.

"Kong Xiangming."

"What?" Kong Xiangming looked at him, Kong Xiangming had been lying on the ground since just now, and he was also muddy, wet and shivering from the cold.

Shen Li sighed, "Is this how you gradually adapted to this world? Are you ready to die?"

"Yeah." Kong Xiangming sat up, "What's wrong? Are you beginning to understand us?"

"I generally understand that human beings are indeed very small in the face of natural disasters. I knew this before." Shen Li wiped the dirt from his face, "But even so, I still think, don't prepare to die."

"Because, after preparing for death, people will think about how to go to death, and those who want to go to death will not survive."

Shen Li said: "You must think about how to survive. Only those who want to survive will work hard to save themselves in disasters."
