Chapter 121 Extreme Weather 1 is coming
The Haishichen Tower disappeared in about twenty minutes, and they walked for more than an hour before reaching Loulan City.
"We are quite lucky and did not encounter any sandstorms..." said a person from Loulan City.
Wei Yu thought, it’s over.
Usually at this time, sandstorms will come.
As expected, the wind and clouds suddenly changed, and sand began to roll in the distance, like a ferocious beast that was about to swallow them up.
"Hurry, go into the city immediately..." Loulan shouted nervously.
At the critical moment, they finally entered the city.
The guards of Loulan City quickly closed the city gates and followed Loulan Wei Yu and others into the emergency shelter.
This shelter is actually a very low, round, egg-shaped building made of huge stones.
There are only a few palm-sized windows on the wall, through which you can see the flying sand outside.
The whistling of the wind through the narrow windows was unsettling.
A Yuan was so scared that she curled up in Wei Yu's arms and trembled.
Wei Yu gently patted A Yuan's back and said to her in a soothing voice, "Don't be afraid. The sandstorm won't stay for long and will pass soon."
Half an hour later, the wind died down and the sandstorm stopped.
Wei Yu took out a stack of masks from his cloth bag and distributed them to everyone present. "Put them on. There should be a lot of dust in the air outside."
During her two years in the Western Regions, she encountered several sandstorms of varying sizes, so she usually wore a mask.
She also thoughtfully prepared children's masks for A Yuan.
When Loulan received the mask, she looked left and right and said, "This thing is much better than our face cloth."
Wei Yu thought of the "masks" in ancient costume dramas that were more decorative than practical.
That's not even close to the truth. That kind of facial tissue can block out loneliness, and it feels like you're just buying something for psychological comfort.
Wei Yu taught them how to wear masks, and they left the shelter only after they were ready.
There are unexpected changes in the weather.
Not long after leaving the shelter, Wei Yu felt a pain in his shoulder.
It suddenly started to rain hail the size of goose eggs.
"Go back to the shelter." Wei Yu quickly called people back to the shelter.
Then there was the sound of "pa pa pa..." hailstones falling.
There are sandstorms and hail. I'm afraid there will be heavy rain in the desert later, causing floods.
Wei Yu shook her head. It was impossible, absolutely impossible. She wasn't the chosen one, so how could she have encountered all of these...
Then, not long after the hail stopped, heavy rain began to fall.
Wei Yu: “…”
I'm tired, so whatever.
She actually encountered all these extreme weather conditions.
Moreover, the rain continued on and off for five hours.
"Are you really the reincarnation of the Rain God? You even make it rain in the desert." Wei Jianjie complained, "This is really unbelievable. This amount of rainfall must have completely wiped out the desert's twenty years of rain."
Wei Yu smiled awkwardly but politely.
No one realized the seriousness of the situation.
Until the next ten days, it rained intermittently in Loulan City.
The desert seeps water too quickly and has a weak water storage capacity. Coupled with the continuous rise in river water levels, the oasis where Loulan City is located was flooded.
The water level in Loulan City rose directly to the waist.
No one expected all this.
The people of Loulan were on the city walls or on the roofs, looking at the "ocean" in front of them, not knowing whether to cry or laugh.
Wei Yu, the "chosen son", began to doubt whether there was something wrong with him.
Fortunately, there were no casualties.
"When I was little, I heard that deserts could flood. At that time, I thought it was a lie told by adults. But now I've seen it with my own eyes and it's true."
Lou Lan stood beside Wei Yu without knowing when.
"Desert floods also occur from time to time. It's a climate issue. As the climate warms, glaciers melt, and rainfall increases, the amount of water seepage in the desert will be greater than its storage capacity, which will cause floods," Wei Yu explained.
"Really?" Lou Lan looked into the distance worriedly. "When things are out of the ordinary, there must be something fishy going on. This might be a warning from heaven."
"How can this be a warning?" Wei Yu said with a helpless smile, "God is very busy. He is either helping this person get rich or helping this person find a child or a good marriage. How could he care about our remote place?"
"But this has never happened here." Loulan is still upset about this natural disaster.
"Let's think positively. There's more water now, which is just right for us to help control the desert." Wei Yu comforted him, "To be honest, if it weren't for this rain, I wouldn't have the confidence to help you control the desert."
"So this flood is a good thing?"
"Forget it... Well, instead of sitting here lamenting the passing of time, you might as well take action, calculate the losses, and help the people solve their problems."
Lou Lan seemed to wake up instantly. He slapped his forehead hard and said, "I'm really crazy. Thanks to you, I'll go right away."
Wei Yu nodded with satisfaction, "This is what a leader should do. Cheer up, work hard, and go for it~~"
It was very difficult for her to prevent this person from getting stuck in a rut.
