Plague Doctor

The roaring sound of the water was deafening, and the black river water rushed past. The water level gauge deep in the river was shaken weakly by the impact, and it would be washed away at any time. The river water had already overflowed 26 meters of the water level gauge.

Along both sides of the river, the lower-lying areas were gradually swallowed up by the overflowing river water.

This is the Negro River, the largest tributary in the northern part of the Amazon River in South America. It is a river monitoring point less than 1 kilometer away from the city of San Gabriel da Cachoela.

"25 meters, 25 meters, it was still 20 meters yesterday, how could it rise so fast..."

At a pier on the river bank, Bagbo, an expert from the local water conservancy bureau, looked blankly at the rushing floods. Several students next to him were also very confused.

What they don't understand is not the darkness of the river. The Rio Negro is one of the most famous black rivers in the world. Its name "rionegro" means black river. This is due to the high humus content and low silt content of the swamp edges along the coast, resulting in this spectacle.

They had long been accustomed to seeing this natural black, but today it looked strange in a different way, like the deep black of industrial pollution.

But even stranger is the water level.

Floods of various sizes occur in the Amazon River every year, especially in this rainy summer. The Negro River can reach an average maximum water level of 27.76m, with a record high of 30.48 meters. However, since May this year, the rainfall upstream here has been average, which is not enough to cause such a high water level.

Even yesterday, and perhaps even before this morning, the water level was only about 23 meters.

"Teacher, could this be related to the recent supernatural disaster?" student Matus asked in surprise. A disaster broke out in their country, Rio de Janeiro, just a week ago. It was one of the "Top Ten Disaster Cities in the World" and now strange things suddenly happened here. , will it be...

"It's very possible that we have to report this situation quickly." Bagbo immediately took out his mobile phone to call, but the signal here was never good, and there was no response at all at the moment. He murmured: "Everyone nearby wants to Evacuated...the water level is still rising, and this place will become a disaster area..."

The water level was rising almost at a speed visible to the naked eye. In just a short time, it rose from 25.3 to 25.7 meters.

The dark river water overflowed the stone embankment of the pier and hit their feet.

"Teacher, let's get out of here first." Another student Inacio said repeatedly, this has become very dangerous.

"Let's go." Bagbo nodded and followed the students worriedly to the vehicles parked on the river bank.

They work in water conservancy and face Amazon floods all year round. They know very well how insignificant human beings will be once floods occur.

Eleven years ago, a major flood with the highest water level in history broke out here, flooding the nearby areas and leaving residents homeless.

This place is the northernmost city in the Brazilian state of Amazonas. Although it has a small population, it has more than 40,000 people and has a large number of tourists all year round. Most of the more than 40,000 local people are indigenous to the surrounding tribes, and some even live a primitive life; there are also biological reserves everywhere, with a large number of rare animals and plants.

Therefore, they are not only concerned about people's safety, but also about the cultural heritage here and various things that have not been destroyed by modern society.

However, once the water level breaks through the height of the river bank, the flood will be unstoppable.

When a flood comes, all these can be wiped out in a few days, or even in a day.

The Negro River is the main waterway in the north and is located at the border of several South American countries. There are a large number of various ships coming and going every day. The sudden surge in water level caught these ships off guard. As they walked toward the vehicle, a multi-story ship approached on the river in the distance.

Under normal circumstances, the water level of 25 meters is high, but if the water flow is stable, the ship will not be greatly affected.

But now the water in the river is like a raging storm. The ship is already swaying in the storm, and half of the ship is tipping over.

"No, no..." Bagbo couldn't help shouting anxiously when he saw this scene, as if he could avoid the merchant ship's misfortune by reminding him.

But the surging black river water was about to swallow everything. It seemed as if a big hand suddenly pulled the merchant ship from the bottom of the river. Suddenly, the whole ship tipped over while shaking, and fell irretrievably to the water. The sound of it overturning was drowned out by the sound of water flowing, and everything happened silently.

Also submerged were the shouts, cries for help, and screams of people on the boat...

Bagbo and Matus saw the figures of crew members falling from the deck and the figures of tourists falling from the cabin windows. They were all immediately swept away by the river water and disappeared. It was not just one or two people, but a connection. The constant figures can't even make a splash.

In less than five minutes, the entire ship sank completely, and the Black River continued to surge.

Those of them standing on the shore could do absolutely nothing.

"Supernatural power, definitely supernatural power..." Bagbo said, suppressing shock and sadness and leading the students back. Some of Matus, Inacio and others remained silent, while others murmured to God. Normal ships cannot capsize and sink so fast.

God, or God, has been called on more recently. Many people say that the "Ten Plagues of Egypt" that occurred recently were miracles. Because people committed too many sins and did not repent, the Lord sent the Ten Plagues of Egypt to punish the world. .

Bagbo also believes in God and pays attention to current events. Of course he knows what happened in Rio de Janeiro and other disaster cities.

For this kind of argument

, he didn’t agree with it before, but now that he has witnessed and experienced such a disaster, he doesn’t agree with it at all. It’s all nonsense...

God loves the world, so how could he do this...

"Ah." Pain flashed through Bagbo's head. The headache came suddenly and intensified quickly, making him dizzy like a flood.

In the hazy moment, there seems to be a huge thing occupying there... Is it a pyramid?

Because of current events, Bagbo has come into contact with Pyramid countless times on the Internet and the media in the past few days. When he thought about it, the light and shadow that appeared in his mind became clearer, it was the pyramid... but when he wanted to see it more clearly, it disappeared again.

Bagbo shook his head. He quickly reported the disaster and asked people to deal with it in time. He couldn't let the flood destroy this place. He loved it here.

They were already running, but the rushing water behind them was getting faster and closer.

The roaring sound of the water seemed to tell them that all resistance was in vain, and the black river water would eventually flood this place and other places further away.

Love the Plague Doctor.
