Chapter 196
The water of the great river comes from the heaven.
The river water pours down, floods the valleys, swallows the bonfires, drowns the weeds, engulfs the houses, then the horses, and the people... They are screaming in madness, crying out in a frenzy, but not in celebration anymore, but for survival.
The crowd bursts towards the valley mouth in madness, yet the reason why floods are considered more fearsome than beasts is because floods are speedier than runners. Their pace cannot outrun the raging waters.
The narrow valley mouth is already packed with people, once everyone tries to get through, the road is bottlenecked.
"Let me out, let me out!"
"Who dares to block my way, kill!"
People are scrambling and fighting each other for the path, leading it to be even more blocked.
In the daytime, they were eager to get in; at night, they were desperate to get out. Thus, humans indeed can be such weird creatures at times.
