Chapter 61 Without any warning, heavy rain came!

A corner of the sky collapsed, and torrential rain poured down!

Lin Yan could never have imagined that it was a bright and sunny day just a few hours ago, and the students were "happily" going to school with their backpacks on their backs, but how come in such a short while, the sky turned out to be so terrifying!

"The estimated rainfall in 24 hours is over 200 millimeters? This... this should be ranked among the top ten major rainstorms in the history of China. How come there was no sign at all?"

The comrades at the Meteorological Observatory have done their best!
However, the power of God is unpredictable! With the current level of technology that humans can master, it is still far from being able to understand their moody Blue Star mother!

Watching the heavy rain pouring down on the ground, Martha, who had hardly ever seen rain, had no idea what problems this would cause. She just looked at the heavy rain outside the window with joy on her face, like a child gazing at the stars!
She even had the time to open the live broadcast room!
"Hi, my friends in the live studio, I'm Martha. Look, it's raining in Chang'an City now! What a spectacular rain, just like when I see a waterfall somewhere else, it feels so magical!"

As soon as China's die-hard fans saw Brother Yan's live broadcast room open, they immediately rushed in like a tide. Even if it had only been on for a few seconds, caring messages such as "Brother Yan, are you okay?", "Have you left Chang'an City now?", "Is Martha okay?" had already flooded the room.

But when they saw the heavy rain in the picture, everyone was silent for a moment.

"That's fine. At least Brother Yan and the others are staying in a safe hotel. At most they can stay for a few more days."

"Damn it, I'm stuck in traffic! What's wrong with this stupid sewer? Is the water so accumulated that it can submerge the car engine?"

"This has nothing to do with the sewers, right? You've also seen the black alert for heavy rain! Chang'an City is not near the sea, so with such a huge amount of rain, even the most powerful sewers have to have a place to drain!"

"No, while the water on the street is still shallow, if you are stuck on the road, just abandon your car and run! How valuable is a car, can it be more important than your life? Go!"

"He's running, he's running!"

——Hey hey hey?

Martha was a little stunned.

She thought that her friends in the live broadcast room would be as amazed at the wonderful scenery of nature as she was, but why... the Chinese people's focus is always different from hers?
Water accumulation? What does this mean? Will water accumulate even when it rains?

She curiously leaned out of the window and looked at the street.

When she saw this, even she was scared!
"River, river!! No, this is not a river, this is clearly a street we have walked on many times! Yan, what is going on! Why did the street become a river?"

Lin Yan also noticed this scene and his expression became very ugly.

"It's raining so fast... Martha, this is not a 'heavy rain', it should be called a 'rainstorm'. This level of rainstorm is coming to take our lives!"

"what?"

Is that so exaggerated? Rain...can cause death?
Martha from the Arab Emirates said it was really hard to understand!

Lin Yan sighed: "The specific reason has been explained to you by our friend in the live broadcast room just now. In short, it is raining too much right now. Our city's sewers simply cannot drain such a large amount of rainwater in time. The rainwater that cannot be drained in time will gather in the low-lying areas on the ground and gradually begin to gather into the 'rivers' you see. Eventually, the rivers will merge with each other and turn the entire city into a vast ocean!"

This principle is actually not difficult to understand.

But Martha was still shocked! After all, in her mind, "rain" is always associated with positive things such as "celebration" and "harvest", and she never thought that rain could cause a disaster!
"Help! Help!!"

"Someone come save us! Help us!!!"

At this moment, waves of heart-wrenching cries for help began to be heard from the street! The sound was so loud that even the rumbling sound of the rain and thunder could not suppress it!
Lin Yan and Martha both looked down!
That's a bus!

A "river" of considerable depth had gathered on the street, and the bus carrying passengers apparently did not have time to escape from the river. Eventually, the engine stalled and the bus stopped helplessly in the "center of the river"!
However, there were many passengers on the bus! Strong adults could still grit their teeth and wade through the turbulent river, but they could only protect themselves to the limit. In the face of this torrential rain, they were unable to take the women, children, and elderly who were also trapped on the bus!

Seeing the river water rising higher and higher, they could no longer stay in the bus, so they could only support each other and take shelter on the roof of the bus. With the torrential rain pouring down on their heads, they used all their strength to ask for help from those around them!

Who will save them!

Only then did Martha have a direct impression of the "rain disaster"!

It turns out that rain can really kill people. If the rain continues like this, those trapped on the roof will be in great danger!

There is even another terrible trend, that is the constant thunder in the sky! If one of the misfortunes falls on them -

Martha didn't dare to think about it anymore!
"Yan, what should we do... Yan? What are you doing...!?"

While Martha was worried about the safety of the passengers in that car, Lin Yan had already quietly taken out a set of light clothes from his backpack and changed into them.

"Martha, stay in your room and don't go out."

Lin Yan warned, "It's very dangerous to open the window in this kind of weather. Close the window immediately and try to stay away from it. You can lie on the sofa and play with your phone or take a nap. In short, don't run around."

Martha eagerly grabbed Lin Yan's hand, her eyes full of heartache.

"Yan, are you going to save someone?"

Lin Yan said in a deep voice:

"Martha, I told you I was in the army a long time and learned a lot of skills."

"...Well, I know that you are the best."

"But we practice our skills not to prove to others how good we are, but to be able to use them in times like this."

You want me to turn a blind eye to the people trapped in the disaster?
Not to mention the troops, even ordinary people would not be able to sit still at home after hearing their cries for help!

Martha held Lin Yan's hand tightly.

"Take me with you."

“…Don’t mess around!”

"How can this be called nonsense? Yan, in your heart, I am someone who can watch my boyfriend risk his life to save others, while I stay in the safe room and smile as he may be in danger at any time - am I such a person?"

Even if I can only hand you a bottle of water, I still want to help you!
Not to mention Lin Yan, the audience in the live broadcast room are now also trying to persuade Martha like crazy:
"Martha, can you please stop making trouble? We brothers usually talk nonsense, but Brother Yan is a real martial artist with real skills! We are at ease when Brother Yan goes to save people, but how can we be at ease with you!"

"Can you swim? It's raining so hard now. If you accidentally fall into the water, we may not find you. Have you ever thought about what will happen to you?"

"Be obedient, Martha, don't go! We know that you care about Brother Yan and don't want him to take risks alone, so you should stay in a safe place! This way, Brother Yan can concentrate on saving people without having to distract himself from taking care of you! You staying in a safe place is the greatest support you can give Brother Yan!"

Fortunately, it is not yet dawn in the Arab League, and Abel and his old father are still sleeping. If they saw Martha going so "crazy", I'm afraid Martha's satellite phone would not stop for even a second.
