Chapter 145 - Flash Flood



Chapter 145: Flash Flood

At the edge of the cliff, Bell stared at the area where he had thrown the wooden sticks.

“Okay, I am now prepared to jump into the lake.

I want to explain to everyone first.

I decided to choose cliff diving because I have a certain level of high altitude jumping technique. If you have not learned the technique, I suggest you take the first path instead of risking your life by diving.

The height is at least 30 meters high, so if you cannot reduce the resistance when you hit the water surface, it will be no different from directly falling on the ground.

The impact from the water might cause irreversible damage to your internal organs.”

After confirming that he was going to take the diving path, Bell had already purchased top-notch diving skills from the system.

Therefore, Bell was not worried about the technique part.

With his physique, he should be able to safely dive.

“Alright, it’s time to spread professional knowledge.

You have to pay attention to your posture when jumping into water from such a high altitude. It’s okay to fall into the water with your legs and head, but remember to ensure that your body is vertical.

Otherwise, the result will be what I said before.”

Bell took a deep breath and stood on the edge of the cliff, bending his legs. Then, he did a backflip and stabbed into the lake below in a very handsome posture.

......

During the entire fall, Bell tried his best to maintain the balance and stability of his body, and to ensure that his feet were pressed together.

Bell was like a needle that stabbed into the water, causing a small splash.

After falling into the water, Bell could clearly feel the water pressure on him.

Fortunately, his actions were precise enough to reduce the damage to the minimum.

The audience in the live-stream was staring at the screen.

There was no sound from the water, and everyone held their breaths.

Thump.

Bell popped out of the water.

“That’s a success. This feeling of falling from the sky is really exhilarating. I would like to try again if I have the chance.”

Seeing that Bell was fine, the audience in the live-stream heaved a sigh of relief. Then, the live-stream was flooded with comments.

“F*ck, I bow to the King of the Wilderness.”

“Bell is awesome!”

“Coach, I want to learn this.”

“Friendly reminder, Bell’s actions are done with professional technique. Don’t imitate him. If you hurt yourself, he is not to be held responsible.”

Bell wiped the water from his face and shook his hair before swimming to the shore.

Walking ashore, Bell wrung out his clothes.

“Alright, although this jump was dangerous, it did save us a lot of time.

Most importantly, our route follows this stream.

To be honest, I’m a little in love with this stream. It seems like it can bring me luck.”

Bell said half-jokingly.

He walked carefully along the stream.

Time passed slowly, and the rain kept falling on Bell.

Bell frowned.

Previously, it was only a light rain, but it seemed to be getting stronger.

He looked back at the stream.

Bell shook his head and walked up helplessly.

“I can feel the rain becoming heavier and heavier. I believe you saw it just now. The water flow in the stream is clearly greater than before.”

We can’t continue moving like this. We have to quickly move to higher terrain.

If the rain continues like this, it might cause a flash flood.

This stream is the best place for the flood to discharge.

If I am washed away by the flood, I might really have to say goodbye to you all.”

Bell looked around and chose a higher terrain forest area.

He had not observed carefully before, but now, Bell realized that the two sides of the stream had probably been washed by the flash flood before .

Broken tree roots could be seen on both sides.

Of course, this would not happen under normal circumstances.

This meant that this area was probably a natural flood site.

The rain made the soil on the slope very slippery.

Fortunately, with the help of these tree roots, Bell climbed up.

It took a lot of effort for Bell to climb up the slope. He leaned against the slope and breathed heavily.

“Although we didn’t move a lot of distance, we have already consumed a lot of energy.”

“The main reason is that this place is too slippery. There is no leverage at all.”

“Although the roots of the trees can help us, because of the years of being eroded, many of them only stick to the surface and not take root too deeply.”

“Fortunately, we’re already here.”

He stood up and looked back at the waterfall and stream.

Bell realized that the current flow of the waterfall was more than double that of before, and it was getting faster.

This meant that the water level in the stream was increasing.

He turned the camera to the waterfall and the stream.

“Can you see that?

In just ten minutes, the amount of water in the waterfall and stream has doubled. Moreover, the flow rate has increased greatly.

In a flash flood, even if the water source is only 30 centimeters deep, it will be difficult for a person to maintain a standing posture.

Once the water depth reaches 60cm, it can flush away a small car.

Fortunately, we noticed it early. Otherwise, we would be in deep trouble.”

The rain in the tropical rainforest was very abundant. It would rain frequently, so Bell did not know how long this rain would last.

However, this rain was not all bad.

At least, no matter where it was, the rain would cause the surrounding temperature to decrease.

This made Bell feel less uncomfortable.

It was getting dark. While moving through the forest, Bell was paying attention to any suitable materials and places that could be used as the shelter.

In such a wild forest, Bell would never dare to sleep on the ground.

Disregarding the large beasts, the snakes, insects, rats, and ants were enough to make him suffer.

In addition, if the rain fell on him for the whole night, he would probably fall sick.

“The most important thing now is to find a shelter. It is getting dark. We can’t sleep in the wild.”

“I don’t want to be bitten by venomous snakes.”

“Don’t think I’m joking. This kind of thing is not uncommon in Australia.

The cases of people being bitten by venomous snakes in their sleep amount to more than half the total.”

“Perhaps some people will wonder why the snakes attack the sleeping people when they clearly don’t pose any threat.

I can only say that this might be their nature.”
