Fire and water are incompatible

Mountain... mountain fire?

This news made He Wei feel heavy again. After returning to the command center and seeing the specific situation of the mountain fire, her mood became even worse.

This time the wildfire is relatively violent and it seems that it cannot be dealt with in a short time.

In the journey to combat large-scale fires such as wildfires, people have summed up countless experiences and invented countless tools. But no matter which method it is, on the whole, there is only one method.

Let the fire burn itself and burn everything it can, and the fire will naturally go out.

Although this is cruel, it is almost the only way. In this process, the only thing humans can do is to clear the fire isolation zone to prevent the fire from continuing to spread outward. As for the fire isolation zone

If there is a fire inside, there is nothing you can do but let it burn.

The forest fire department has mobilized many forces to participate in the suppression of this wildfire. They will combine changes in climate, wind direction, etc. to stop the spreading fire in appropriate places, but will they ultimately be able to control the wildfire?

In a smaller area, no one can guarantee it.

This means that within a certain distance, everything is a danger zone and all irrelevant personnel must evacuate.

Unfortunately, the search area previously designated by Lu Ming and Huang Weimin was within the danger zone.

The search task can no longer be executed.

"Did the forest fire department say how long it would take to control the fire?"

At this moment, He Wei's only hope rests on this.

Zhang Dingshan shook his head.

"They didn't say the specific time. But the most optimistic estimate is that it will take at least ten days."

At least ten days...

The day lilies are cold!

Now we only have four days left!

"This must have been done by Organization X!" He Wei gritted her teeth: "They deliberately lit this fire in order to prevent us from continuing the search!"

The truth is 99% impossible to find out.

Overall, the occurrence of wildfires is actually somewhat random. A cigarette butt, a firework, a bolt of lightning, or even some natural light gathering phenomena, combined with the appropriate climate and environment, may trigger a fire.

Wildfires have spread widely. All humans can do is to control the source of the fire in advance and control the situation as much as possible afterwards.

However, although there was no evidence, He Wei still subconsciously locked the suspect on Organization X.

"There is also a good thing. At least, this fire can prove with a high probability that there may be some key clues in the real place of worship for the mountain god. It also proves that the cave we found before is only owned by the X organization.

It’s just a disguise.”

These speculations are just speculations without enough evidence to support them. They cannot appear in a formal report and cannot be used as a reason to convince their superiors. But at least, Lu Ming, He Wei and Zhang Dingshan have reached a consensus in their hearts.

"Perhaps, Organization X already knows that we are under extreme time pressure. They are doing everything possible to delay our time."

There is no need to delay for too long. As long as it is delayed for four days, there will be no need for Organization

"This is the first time Organization X has officially come out to confront us, right?"

He Wei gritted her teeth and said this.

Lu Ming's expression was solemn, and he was a little distracted.

He did not expect that the first time Organization

So... what to do?

The fire must be controlled as soon as possible!

Zhang Dingshan took out his phone and said something. When he came back, he shook his head: "The forest fire department is already doing its best. It is unrealistic to control the fire in a short time."

Lu Ming gritted his teeth and said, "Can we take unconventional measures? For example, artificial rainfall."

Zhang Dingshan walked away again. After a while, he came back: "The weather conditions are not good. Even if artificial rainfall is forced, it may not meet expectations."

"But, this is our only chance."

Zhang Dingshan was silent for a moment and said: "I will coordinate. No matter what, I have to give it a try."

Night falls quietly. The eastern sky, which should have been pitch black, now has a faint hint of dark red.

That's the color of wildfire burning.

The originally clear sky was now gray at this moment, with no stars or moon visible.

That's because thick smoke and dust from wildfire areas obscured the sky.

At this moment, a little light suddenly appeared in the sky, like fireworks, flying quickly into the sky.

Zhang Dingshan's coordination paid off. The forest fire department finally decided to carry out the artificial rainfall mission. And, in order to ensure the success rate, they even mobilized equipment from surrounding areas as quickly as possible.

Now, everything that can be done has been done. All that's left is to wait.

Lu Ming stood outside the tent, looking up at the sky.

Feeling the faint smell of fireworks in the air, he remained motionless. He had been waiting, always waiting.

During this long wait, suddenly, something seemed to float on his face. Lu Ming did not dare to move at all, but concentrated on feeling it, as if he was afraid that this was just his illusion, or that if he moved,

, that feeling will disappear.

But the next moment, something floated on his face again. This time he confirmed that it was not his illusion, so he stretched out his hand and wiped it there.

He felt a little wet from the water droplets.

It's raining.

It's really raining.

It's just that the rain is not very heavy, and it can only be regarded as light rain at the moment. And this is obviously a drop in the bucket and of no great use against such a violent wildfire.

So he continued to wait.

At this moment, inside the tent, in front of a screen, the meteorological expert specially invited by He Wei and Zhang Dingshan was sitting there, staring intently at the weather cloud map on the screen, while the two of them were waiting nearby.

"The weather conditions are not good. In fact, it is not suitable for artificial rainfall now. If it can rain lightly now, it is considered good."

The meteorologist's words made He Wei worried again.

"Then do you think it's possible that something big will happen next?"

"There is a certain possibility, but it is not very high. Don't hold out too much hope." The meteorological expert's words are more straightforward: "Our hope is that the weather system is actually a chaotic system, and we cannot predict it too accurately.

Because the parameters used for prediction are changing all the time. Looking at it now, at least the current data shows that the rain is not heavy. Of course, it may change in the future, but it is not very likely.”

In the end, it still depends on luck.

I just don’t know if luck is on my side this time.

At this moment, Lu Ming was still standing in the light rain, carefully feeling the changes in the rain. But to his disappointment, the light rain that he could clearly feel before seemed to slowly disappear again.

Lu Ming's heart slowly sank.

If the rain does not fall heavily, the mountain fire cannot be extinguished in a short time. If the mountain fire cannot be extinguished, our investigation cannot continue, and time can only be wasted. Once time is exhausted, the case will be classified as

The case is unsolved, everyone has to leave.

There's no chance of another chance.

Lu Ming breathed hard and tried to control his emotions. He looked around, found a direction with no one around, faced the distant mountains and forests, faced the sky, and finally roared out the anger and anxiety in his heart.

"ah……!"

"Oh my God! It's raining! It's raining! It's raining! It's raining! It's raining!"

In the deserted corner, Lu Ming roared loudly.

It seemed that some inexplicable being heard Lu Ming's cry, or God really sensed Lu Ming's thoughts. The next moment, suddenly, something fell on Lu Ming's head.

He clearly felt the tapping sensation.

He raised his head, and a large drop of rain suddenly hit his forehead. He wiped it in disbelief and felt a water stain.

It's really raining, it's really... raining hard.

Heavy rain fell from the sky, hitting the ground, trees, weeds, rocks, and Lu Ming.

Lu Ming's clothes were soaked by the heavy rain in a moment. The mountain wind blew by, and it was cold. But at this moment, Lu Ming ignored the slightest chill.

He opened his arms, raised his head, faced the heavy rain, and laughed.

At this moment, in the tent, listening to the raindrops falling on the roof of the tent, the meteorological expert looked at some data and his face was full of shock.

"What a coincidence, what a coincidence." He shook his head repeatedly, as if he still couldn't believe it at this moment: "Look, the weather radar shows that there is a low pressure group here..."

A smile gradually appeared on He Wei's face.

She didn't quite understand the professional terms used by meteorological experts, and could only get a rough idea. Generally speaking, it meant that due to some extremely coincidental and extremely low-probability reasons, in the chaotic system of weather, the original

The light rain or even no rain turned into heavy rain at this moment.

"This time, luck is really on our side."

She thought so in her heart.

I have to admit that Shanhuo's move really disrupted our overall plan and almost made all our early efforts in vain. Organization X almost achieved their goal. But now, luck has come and blocked everything

Can't stop it.

The cell phone rang. Zhang Dingshan took it, listened for a few words, and hung up the phone.

"The head of the forest fire department just called me. He told me that because of the heavy rain, the wildfire that originally took ten days to be extinguished under the most optimistic scenario is now... expected to be extinguished in the middle of the night."

At least, our own search operations will no longer be affected.
