Chapter 402 Cyclone Rescue
“A huge cyclone?” Gothe didn’t react immediately.
"Master Gaode, you are not from Barrow County, so you may not know something. Here we have a saying, "The sea water is boiling so hot that there is a hole in the sky." What it means is a cyclone."
"In summer, as soon as the weather gets hot, there will be The sea water was dried like boiled fish soup, and the heat rushed upward. The clouds were stirred up by this heat and turned into the shape of a conch. They began to rotate faster and faster, turning into a whirlwind." As he spoke, he made famous gestures in the air with his hands, trying to make Gothe understand more intuitively.
"The cyclone that hit Auckland City this time was terrible. The central wind force could reach two hundred feet per second. A cyclone of this level was already the largest cyclone in the past fifty-six years." There are complete protective measures, but the surrounding villages and towns are in ruins. "
The two staff members looked grave, "Although they were built with cyclones in mind, they can at most withstand an ordinary cyclone. This is a super cyclone, and these small villages and towns will definitely not be able to withstand it."
What a cyclone, isn't this a typhoon?
After listening to what these two people said, Gao De's first thought was this.
Typhoons were something that people in inland areas may not have encountered in his previous life, but they must have heard of them.
People from coastal areas are encountered several times a year, so they are extremely familiar to them.
In other words, the typhoon faced by the Auckland City area this time is a super typhoon.
Gaode did a quick calculation in his mind. Two hundred feet per second is almost equivalent to the central wind reaching 60 meters per second.
In his previous life, this was already a Category 17 typhoon, enough to cause huge damage and economic losses to a city.
"Didn't Auckland City observe the formation of the cyclone in advance and evacuate the crowd?" Gothe asked puzzled.
The technological level of this world is far lower than that of his previous life. It is certainly impossible to observe the formation of typhoons early and determine the typhoon's level, path, landing location and time like he did in his previous life.
But with the help of extraordinary power, it is impossible to say that he is unaware, right?
Just the [Druid Trick] can easily predict the weather for the next day. Will a high-level mage have no spells to predict whether a whirlwind will form?
Spells are such an inconvenience.
Gaode doesn’t believe it anyway.
"We in Barrow County basically encounter two or three cyclones every year. Over the years, we have gained a lot of experience in dealing with cyclones. We have even established a special storm department to observe cyclones and carry out emergency and cyclone defense work according to the development trend of cyclones."
"That?"
"I heard that this cyclone is a bit weird this time," the two of them were actually very puzzled. "The formation of a cyclone requires a high enough temperature, so cyclones generally only appear between the Sun Moon and the Frost Gold Moon."
"In addition, this cyclone formed extremely quickly. It only took half a day for a cyclone of this level from discovery to development and landing."
"I understand," Gothe looked slightly stern and asked seriously: "Then what is my specific task now?"
h "The order from above is to rush to Auckland City for disaster relief as soon as possible. The first priority is to save people. In addition, as the cyclone attacks, there will be many water beasts coming, and you need to be responsible for clearing them up."
The two people looked at each other, and then replied: "Before setting off, you first go to the White Tower of Haiyuan. They will give you specific arrangements there."
Haiyuan White Tower, Test Square.
Gaode arrived relatively early, so there were not many people on the field at the moment.
Hai Sentinel’s dormitory was originally close to Haiyuan White Tower, and Gaode’s news was received quickly.
At this moment, in addition to the Sea Sentinel Mages who are arriving one after another, there are many staff busy in the square.
Captain Merrick is conducting on-site dispatch.
He was wearing a straight uniform of captain and mage of the Sea Sentinel and issued various instructions.
This cyclone came so unexpectedly that even the experienced Captain Merrick's face was full of worry.
"Are the ships and horses ready?" he asked loudly.
"Still making arrangements, a batch is ready and ready to go at any time." An adjutant ran over and replied.
"As soon as possible, as soon as possible, before all the people are available, the vehicle and boat must be ready for me," Captain Merrick shouted loudly, while glancing at the magicians on the field, "The magicians who have mastered healing spells will come out first!"
When Gothe heard this, he took a step forward.
There were more than a dozen people who came out with him one after another.
Healing spells are relatively rare spells, but Sea Sentinel mages are all elite mages. In addition, they are all battle mages, so the proportion of mages who master healing spells is extremely high.
"You go out first, and when you arrive at the disaster area, give priority to rescuing people, and then determine the scope and condition of the disaster. In addition, if you encounter large-scale water animals, don't attack rashly if you are not sure!"
"Understood!" Everyone replied in unison.
“The aftermath of the cyclone has not yet dissipated, and the airship cannot set sail,” Captain Merrick continued.
Shortly after the cyclone landed in Auckland City, the airship definitely didn’t need to be thought of. The turbulent airflow and the strong winds that blew from time to time caused the airship to crash without warning.
"If you want to go to Auckland City, you must either go by water or land. I know there is a distance, and the aftermath of the cyclone is still there, which is very dangerous, but the more critical our Sea Sentinel Mages are, the more we must dare to be the first and use our abilities. I order you to reach Auckland City within one day. Is there any problem?"
Within one day?
Although Auckland City and Dorne City are barely bordering each other, the "map" of this world is much larger than that of the previous life. Although they may appear to be bordering each other, the actual distance is quite long.
Not to mention that there are still strong winds and heavy rain in the Auckland area at this time, which will cause great obstacles to the journey.
But in this case, can you say no?
"No problem!" everyone said loudly.
"Give each of them a copy of the "Cyclone Rescue Manual" and a map of the Auckland area." Captain Merrick turned to the staff on the side and ordered.
Bayero County is hit by cyclones every year. They have long summarized a complete set of disaster relief strategies and compiled them into a book.
Soon, the staff distributed a thin booklet made of parchment and a map to everyone.
"Look again on the east-west road, and set off quickly now, whether by water or land, you decide for yourself!"
Hurry, hurry!
Being a Sentinel Mage is not easy. While obtaining benefits and status that are far beyond ordinary people, you also have to bear corresponding responsibilities.
Gothe kept walking, stuffed the book wrapped in a tarpaulin into his arms, and hurriedly left the White Tower of the Abyss, just passing by the other Sea Sentinel mages who had just arrived.
This is an urgent and mandatory mission. Everyone must participate regardless of their status, even noble mages are no exception.
In fact, in the Plantagenet dynasty, the nobles may have problems of one kind or another, but they have one advantage, that is, they often take the lead in the face of disasters and are at the forefront.
The most striking example is that when a war breaks out, nobles in other countries generally protect themselves wisely, but the nobles of the Plantagenet Dynasty have a very high mortality rate.
Whether it was really out of inner conviction or influenced by the traditional concepts and customs of the Plantagenet Dynasty, this was done anyway.
It is a matter of deeds but not of heart.
This is also one of the reasons why the people of the Plantagenet Dynasty have a very high sense of identity and belonging to the country.
Cyclone invasion is a natural disaster, but it may also cause man-made disasters, because natural disasters are better than chaos, and chaos will cause disasters. There will always be evil people who will fish in troubled waters, not to mention the many water beasts that land with the cyclone.
Gaode first rushed back to the dormitory, wearing armor (rune structure) and holding a sword (northern wind), and then quickly rushed to Biboting, bringing Tuanzi with him.
His water properties are very good, and for a mage, in this case, water is definitely faster.
So Gaode didn’t need to think too much and directly chose the water route.
The situation is urgent. In addition, the manpower is now set off in batches, and large ships have to be left to transport supplies. The ship scheduling is very tight.
The so-called waterway is actually equipped with a small long boat, but equipped with a special "pig saddle".
The so-called dolphin saddle is somewhat similar to a horse saddle. One end of it is tied to the capybara and the other end is tied to the boat, so that the capybara can pull the boat forward quickly.
This is also the reason why the waterway is faster.
Otherwise, for ordinary people, even if the water route is shorter, if it is just a small boat, the power is insufficient, coupled with the complicated wind conditions, the speed will definitely be safer than the land route.
Gothe threw the dolphin saddle down, patted Tuanzi's round head, and fed it a few more magic berries, "I'll have to work hard for you next."
Duanzi said nothing, happily ate the magic berries, nodded heavily, patted his "chest" with his short front fins, and vowed, then aimed at the muzzle and got into the dolphin saddle.
Gaode tightened the rope buckle and shouted at the top of his lungs at the water: "Let's go."
Tuanzi immediately began to use his strength, leading the boat to break through the waves in a flash, gradually accelerating, and quickly galloped towards Auckland City.
Even though Tuanzi is only over a year old, he is still young and not very big, but as a first-level earth-line creature, his own strength and endurance cannot be measured by common sense.
The boat separated two long water lines. The water droplets hit the bow of the boat. Under the force brought by the high speed, they broke into white water foam and splashed around.
Gothe sat on the bow of the boat, took out the "Tornado Rescue Guide", let the splashes of water hit him from time to time, and started reading carefully.
He has some emergency evacuation knowledge in typhoon days in his head, such as staying away from waters, valleys and low-lying areas, which are dangerous areas that are prone to flooding, and do not take shelter near big trees. Strong winds may break tree trunks and cause injuries
But when it comes to typhoon disaster relief knowledge, it can only be said to be a black eye.
There is nothing to say, just cram it in temporarily.
Cyclone disaster rescue, for the Sea Sentinel Mage, there are three tasks that are the most important.
First, to rescue people, we must race against time and give priority to searching and rescuing people trapped in dangerous areas.
This is the top priority, and everything else is secondary.
Because for every second of delay, fresh lives may be lost in the disaster.
In the case of relatively backward technological equipment, it is much more difficult to save people than in previous lives. It is beyond the ability of ordinary people to shuttle between ruined walls and rapid water to save people. Only mages have this ability.
In addition, the injured should also be treated as soon as possible.
The second is to stabilize order.
Prevent illegal acts of robbery that may occur when people in the disaster-stricken areas are panicked, and take immediate action once discovered.
At the same time, clean up the infested water animals to stabilize public sentiment and avoid causing panic among the public.
The third is to ascertain the disaster situation and scope, and pay close attention to possible secondary disasters.
· Mages must rely on their own strength to help survey the disaster area, draw a disaster map, and mark the severely damaged areas.
In addition to the direct damage caused by cyclones when they land, they can also bring many derivative geological disasters, such as flooding, mudslides, landslides, etc.
The good news is that the terrain of the Plantagenet Dynasty is mainly plains, and the main mountainous areas are concentrated in the three mountain ranges, so there is no need to worry about mudslides and landslides.
Mainly to warn and prevent possible storm surges, to prevent seawater intrusion and floods, as well as falling objects caused by strong winds.
The book also records a lot of useful knowledge and regulations. For example, during cyclone rescue, if someone commits crimes or commits crimes, special actions are allowed and severe punishments are allowed; a brief method of drawing a disaster map, the conditions for judging geological disasters, etc.
The rescue manual is not thick, but it is full of essences.
Gaode read it carefully several times and memorized all the key points in his mind.
Hence, he opened the map of the Auckland area and compared it with his current location.
At this time, the sky above Gaode's head had gradually turned gloomy.
This is still a long way from Auckland City, and you can see such obvious changes in the sky. You can imagine how serious the situation is in Auckland City.
About two hours later, the boat, guided by Tuanzi, finally officially entered the boundary of Auckland City.
However, the scene here made Gaode's heart sink a lot.
The heavy rain is like the Tianhe bursting its banks, pouring down crazily.
The sky seemed to be tightly shrouded by a huge ink cloth, and the sky was so dim that it was like night had fallen early.
·Under the bad weather, the water surface has long become gray and blurry, making everything difficult to see clearly.
There is a suffocating and depressing atmosphere all around.
The water flow became extremely turbulent, galloping forward like a herd of horses being driven by whips.
The waves hit and rolled one after another, making a deafening roar
The boat did not have a top, but in such extremely bad conditions, even having a top was useless.
The raindrops were so big that they fell like hailstones. They fell heavily on the boat, making a dull "bang bang" sound, and then broke into pieces. Splashes of water flew up, and they were instantly submerged by new rainwater.
Gaode's face was sore from the rain.
But at this moment, he didn't care about this. He was just busy using [Manipulation of Water] to pull the rainwater falling in the hull and drain it out of the ship continuously.
Otherwise there will be too much water and the boat will sink.
· Tuanzi was not affected at all under the water. Its round body swayed flexibly in the turbulent water. Even the turbulent water did not cause much interference to it.
But Goude's boat was not so strong in the face of this situation.
As the current became more turbulent and the waves got higher and higher, the boat began to shake violently, like a fallen leaf in the strong wind.
The bow of the ship is sometimes tilted high, and sometimes it is severely photographed, and the angle of the ship's hull is getting wider and wider.
Suddenly, a huge wave as high as two people was like a furious beast, rushing toward the boat with its teeth and claws.
With such a huge wave, even if Gaode desperately casts [Water Control] to block it, it will be of no avail.
Huge waves hit the boat hard, turning the boat upside down in an instant.
Gaode felt his body suddenly lighten up, and he fell into the icy cold, surging flood!
