NOVEL SIMPLE Chapter 12 The city is flooded
When I got home, I took off my raincoat, took a shower, and changed my clothes.
At this moment when the end was truly approaching, she was not surprised by her rebirth.
If possible, she would rather be the cowardly Jiang You forever, an ostrich in a peaceful age.
Jiang You sat on the sofa, took out a fruit candy from the space and put it in his mouth, looking at the rain outside the balcony in a daze.
The rain fell harder and harder, but the thunder stopped.
In the second half of the night, there was a buzz among the owners.
When renting a house, the security department asked her to scan the QR code to join the group so that she could be notified of any news later.
Therefore, she is also in the group. There are many owners in this group, but most of them are tenants.
For example, she knew that the four houses on the eighth floor had all been converted into group rentals by the second landlord, with twenty or thirty people living in each house.
She only found out this when she saw other people complaining in the group.
This building has four units per staircase, but on her floor, apart from hers, one of the other three units is in a rough state, and the other two units must have been bought by one person and are being renovated.
The inside has been opened up, and all the doors and windows provided by the developer have been removed, and there is no time to install new ones.
So you actually only live there.
Jiang You stared at the news from the owner group.
[Chen Daming in the group: It rained so heavily that the community was flooded! The sewers in my kitchen and toilet are pouring sewage back like fountains. The property management company needs to come and take care of it! 】
[Peng Yuyan from Building 3: Our house was also flooded. I just renovated and replaced it with solid wood floors, but they were all soaked in water! It stinks! ! Where did the property go? ! Usually I am very active in collecting money, but it doesn’t work at critical moments, right? 】
[Pistachio: It's okay for you, we live in a building, and the building is lower. Our family has no way to help the owner, so we went to a friend's house on the second floor for help! It's all water! 】
[Don’t mess with me: Damn it, the underground garage is also filled with water. The car I just picked up has become a flooded car before the loan has been paid off. Damn it! 】
[Happy Family: There is something wrong with the design of the community. The underground garage should just be renamed a reservoir! I have several Ferraris! 】
[Goudan: I really sympathize with those of you who park in underground garages. Unlike me, my car is always parked on the first floor and the ground is fine! 】
[Don’t mess with me: @Goudan, your little electric stove can only stand at the door of the unit building! 】
[It doesn’t light up even if it flashes: I’ve heard that the toilet on the first floor will spray, but I didn’t believe it, so I bought the first floor. If I were given another chance, I would rather live under the overpass than buy the first floor! 】
[Chen Dachui from the third ward: It’s over, it’s over, the water level is still rising, and the first floor will be completely submerged! 】
【…】
……
There are four buildings in this community, and there are more than a dozen small single-family buildings. The owners and tenants are all in the group, and there is a huge quarrel.
Jiang You turned on the TV. On the TV, a female weather anchor wearing a raincoat was standing in the camera lens against the storm. Her delicate body was shaken by the wind, but her tone was very firm.
“The meteorological observatory predicts that the heavy rain will last for more than thirty-six hours, and the city urgently started waterproofing works...
For those who live in low-lying areas, please rest assured that personnel have been arranged to assist in evacuation. There is no mercy for natural disasters, and with unity, we will overcome all difficulties. "
Jiang You kept changing channels, and every local station was urgently broadcasting news about the heavy rain.
In some places, landslides washed away towns below.
In some places, cities have turned into puddles, and netizens even jokingly said in their WeChat Moments that the sea-viewing mode was on.
……
This is why Jiang You didn't find a mountain with few people or hide down after stocking up on supplies, because maybe under a heavy rain, the mountain where you lived well would suddenly experience a landslide.
Your house will be swept away by a mudslide.
Although there will be flooding in the city, as long as it is at high altitude, it is not a big problem.
The water level in inland cities rises steadily, unlike coastal cities.
Jiang You vaguely remembered that many coastal cities were hit by tsunamis in the previous life.
After this heavy rain that lasted for three days and three nights, the corpses soaked in the water, as well as many patients with high fevers that persisted, would become zombies.
It’s not like she hasn’t thought about leaving anonymous messages online to remind everyone about the doomsday.
But who would believe this kind of thing?
What's more, if the heavy rain incident she predicted really happened, then the next second, she would be interrogated.
Don't underestimate the power of the state. As long as you leave a few words on the Internet, even if it is anonymous, when it wants to find you, it will be just as easy as a piece of cake.
You think you are hiding well, but in the face of true strength, your hiding skills are just the emperor's new clothes.
So the best thing to do is not attract any attention.
Jiang You is selfish and unwilling to gamble with her life on whether the other party will be kind to her.
She is just an ordinary person, and her only wish is to live well by herself.
There is no such great sentiment to put yourself in danger to save others.
In her previous life, Jiang You had already suffered enough for her kindness, so this time, she no longer believed in human nature.
Call her selfish or cold-blooded, this time, she only lives for herself.
As the water level continues to rise, the community has become noisy.
The forum is also filled with all kinds of angry messages, as well as messages asking for help.
The video software is also full of information about the flood.
In one video, several people stood on a boulder in the water and said, "Help, we are camping by the *** River. The water level suddenly rose and we were trapped on an island in the middle of the lake. Come and save us. The phone number is... …”
Here is another video. A middle-aged man who had just escaped from danger yelled at the rescue team, "I still have a dozen pigs in the pig pen. Since we can move people out, why not save my pigs! These rescue teams are If you don’t do anything, shouldn’t you try your best to protect the people’s property!!!”
……
Jiang You looked through the video and saw that in the face of danger, the brilliance of the human heart shines brightly, and at the same time the ugly side of human nature is also exposed.
Some people pushed the exhausted rescuers and asked them to jump into the dangerous deep water to salvage their belongings or find their pets.
There are also people who rise to the occasion and lend a helping hand to strangers who are in danger.
Some even push their friends to the abyss of death just for a chance of survival.
A small amount of kindness is simply not enough to mend the huge ugly hole in this broken world.
In the second half of the night, the heavy rain continued outside, but there were many lights wandering in the darkness, representing rescue workers in small boats.
The morning light was slightly cool, and the water level had already flooded the second floor. All residents below the second floor in the community were moved upwards.
Looking around, the original street was already a vast ocean, and there were many rescue boats going back and forth in the water in the morning light.
There were cries everywhere, some crying for their own losses, some crying for injured or dead relatives.
In fact, the water is rising slowly at this time. As long as you evacuate in time, the chance of death is very low.
Unless an old man or a patient died sleeping at home.
