Natural Disaster Apocalypse

Chapter 126:

Although death is everywhere, when it happens to someone you know, it will always make people a little bit embarrassed. Although Mu Nan has never met Qin Huai's colleague, but from Qin Huai's description, he thinks the relationship should be pretty good. It would be too cold-blooded to have a barbecue to celebrate to make money.

Qin Huai rubbed Mu Nan's hair: "If you're hungry, you can eat a little."

Mu Nan hugged Qin Huai and lay on his chest: "Forget it, anyway, barbecue can't run away in the space, so I won't eat today, it's almost dawn, go to sleep."

Although they don't have to go out to work, they also worry that their schedule is different from others, and they won't be able to react when something happens. Unlikely, but there is always a chance.

Or there is something that needs to go out at night. If they don’t adjust their schedule, they will stay up late at night. If there is an emergency, I’m afraid they don’t have much energy to deal with it. Like everyone else, day and night are upside down.

The sun outside is scorching hot, and the heat is increasing day by day. According to the time, it should be Chinese New Year in half a month, but now the time has long been confused, especially when suffering from various diseases and parasites The tormented family has no energy to go to the New Year. Even the official website of the government does not show any signs of celebrating the New Year. It is estimated that they have been overwhelmed by all kinds of bugs recently.

For Mu Nan, it doesn't matter if the New Year is not over, it's just a kind of reunion situation, now he is with Qin Huai every day, and they are reunited every day, but other people in their yard feel that it is thousands of years old Tradition, this is a kind of spiritual sustenance, a good outlook for the coming year, so I just think that it will be another year, everyone eats and drinks together, celebrates the new year, and celebrates that they are still alive.

Last year, the conditions were really limited. This year, I was lucky. I bought some meat earlier, and the house has not been powered off. Even if the temperature is high, the frozen meat can be eaten for a few months. When the time comes, the family will produce some meat. Qinhuai and his family I won't go out, just order food, now vegetables are more expensive than meat, and the most important thing is, except for Qin Huai's house, you can't buy food outside.

A few people discussed it and asked the girls if they wanted to have a New Year's dinner together. They probably thought of a yard. Since they lived together, they got along well. The relationship should be better, and it's okay to take care of each other if there is something. , So this time I didn't refuse, and even asked a few boys if they needed to cook. This cooking skill may not be the best, but at least it can be eaten.

In the end, of course it was not necessary, Qin Huai's craftsmanship is nothing to say, since he was in charge of the family's rations since he was a child, Mu Nan's parents died early but he still only knows how to order takeout, and it's all Qin Huai's connivance.

Apart from Qin Huai, Jian Chu also knows how to cook. He is trained in a real independent life, but now that his health is not good enough, cooking is also a physical labor, so it is definitely impossible for him to do it.

Unexpectedly, Wu Zheng is also good at cooking. I heard from Song Jia that the food he cooks is quite delicious, and he can cook a lot of big dishes, which are the dishes on the menu of star-rated restaurants. It's a pity that the raw materials are limited, so we can only watch it play out when the time comes.

After discussing to celebrate the new year together, everyone is looking forward to this meal, not to say that they are looking forward to what good food they can eat, but they just want to have a lively, popular and smoky New Year. Not so desperate.

In particular, there is not one in their yard this year. According to their customs, after the clock turns on New Year's Eve, they have to worship and offer incense. The more people offer incense, the dead people will not be deserted on Huangquan Road. Let's eat together, have fun, and offer incense to Hu Xuan after twelve o'clock.

All plans are good, but things don't always go according to the good plan.

A few days before the Chinese New Year, Mu Nan woke up at noon, Qin Huai was still on the bed, and was leaning against the bedside to check the data status of the few small games he made after they went online. He stopped moving, and put his hand on Mu Nan's shoulder: "What's wrong? Did it wake you up?"

Mu Nan frowned: "It seems to be raining, it's so stuffy, I can't breathe."

This is also Mu Nan's old problem. When the weather changes, he is more accurate than the weather forecast, just like those people with rheumatism, as long as the weather changes, the body will respond. When I was young, I did many cardiopulmonary exercises for this. Examination, but every time the inspection results are fine, that is, the spirit is a little weak during the rainy season, and nothing else is fine. Gradually, I don't take Mu Nan's sensitive body seriously. Anyway, as long as it rains It won't be boring.

Qin Huai put down the computer and rubbed Mu Nan's back: "Let me sleep for a while, don't lie down."

Mu Nan piled up the pillows and leaned against the head of the bed, waiting for the rain. If it didn't rain, he wouldn't be able to sleep: "The river next to it is almost dry, so much snow has accumulated in winter, and the sun is too harsh. I don’t know how long this rain will last and whether it will be cooler.”

Now there is a shallow layer of water in the river, but it should not be the snow water accumulated before, because the water is flowing, but also because it is flowing, although there may be more mosquitoes than other places, but It's okay, if it's stagnant water, then this area can't be lived, and the smelly ditch has the most mosquitoes.

Qin Huai caressed his chest and said, "I don't know if it will be cool or not. When it's hot and humid, there will be more mosquitoes."

Mu Nan wanted to lean against Qin Huai to sleep for a while, but couldn't fall asleep for a while, the more he leaned on, the more uncomfortable he was, holding his chest like a stranded fish.

Qin Huai frowned deeply. Mu Nan wasn't feeling well before, but he obviously didn't suffer like this: "Nan Nan, take out the oxygen machine, and try to inhale oxygen to see if it feels better?"

Mu Nan shook his head: "Brother, do you think this rain will be serious?" Although Mu Nan didn't know whether his sensitivity to this kind of humid air was related to the size of the rain, but this kind of rain that was about to rain The reaction before the rain was really the first time he was bored. He was really almost breathless, and he almost caught up with the high reaction.

Qin Huai said: "I'll turn the air conditioner down a bit, take out that oxygen bag and try it out."

Although Mu Nan felt that he couldn't use enough oxygen, if he could feel more comfortable, it wouldn't be a problem to use it. After inhaling it, the feeling of being breathless is indeed much better.

Seeing that Mu Nan felt better, Qin Huai breathed a sigh of relief, then lifted the curtains to check the situation outside, the sun was still scorching hot, and there wasn't even a cloud in the sky, it didn't look like it was going to rain Yes, but Mu Nan's reaction is so big, I'm afraid this rain will really not be small.

Qin Huai said in the group that it might rain, so they got ready, and called Shi Yuanfei to inquire about the weather. Although Shi Yuanfei didn't care about it, if there was anything unusual, he would definitely accept it. to the news, but he did not receive any news.

Qin Huai said: "Although I can't guarantee it 100%, there is a great possibility that a heavy rain is coming."

Shi Yuanfei said: "Could it be that your brother is not feeling well, should I arrange for him to have a checkup?"

Qin Huai was also a little worried, thought for a while and said, "If it doesn't rain tomorrow, then please help me arrange a checkup." If it doesn't rain, it is impossible for me to have chest tightness and breathlessness for no reason, and even feel so stuffy that I need to inhale oxygen Degree.

At night, it still didn't rain, and Mu Nan still couldn't lie down and sleep, so he had to hold oxygen to relax after a while.

Qin Huai's complexion is getting worse and worse. In the current situation, illness is fatal, especially in terms of heart and lungs. There is no such medical condition at all. He is really worried that there is something wrong. Looking at Mu Nan who was leaning on the sofa and hadn't eaten much all day, Qin Huai wiped the sweat from his forehead: "Do you want something to eat?"

Mu Nan closed her eyes and refused: "I don't want to eat." Although he was very hungry, he didn't have any appetite at all, and he felt a suffocation stuck in his chest, and he wanted to sleep but couldn't sleep.

Qin Huai rubbed his hair and didn't force it, just sat on the coffee table and kept looking at him. After a while, Shi Yuanfei sent a message that indeed a rain cloud was coming, and there would be a burst of heavy rain. He also lamented that his brother's human body rain detector is really amazing, and it is earlier than the weather forecast they received.

Qin Huai heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the news, so it was because the rain was not falling, not for other reasons, and his heart that had been hanging for a whole day finally calmed down a little: "Nan Nan, do you want to go for a shower?" Take a bath, maybe it will be more comfortable."

Mu Nan collapsed on the sofa like a dead fish: "In my previous life, I must have been a fish, maybe it was a fish that died when it was stranded on a heavy rainy day."

Qin Huai tapped lightly on his forehead: "Don't talk nonsense."

As soon as the words were finished, it rained outside. It was not ordinary rain, but pouring rain. Accompanied by a few rumbling thunders, the rain splashed the ground instantly. The rain was so heavy that even The sunshade cloth installed on the windows to block the sun is directly blown away. You must know that some sunshade cloths are hung on the nails on the wall, which can be blown away. One can imagine how strong the wind is.

The wind and rain were heavy, and the rain came suddenly, almost without warning, and many people were caught off guard. Although it was so hot, the watering of the rain could cool the scorching heat a lot, but the wind was too strong. The things hanging outside or hanging on the balcony were blown away. Some fabrics were okay, and they couldn’t kill people if they hit them, but some people put some hard objects such as bricks on the balcony to press the sunshade cloth. When it is blown down, it can instantly bleed when it hits someone.

There was too much movement outside, everywhere was smashing, booming, and the wind was blowing even more, like ghosts crying and gods howling, and the girl next door was frightened by the movement and barked.

Mu Nan also got up from the sofa, and opened the heat insulation board in the house. The sunshade cloth they hung on the window had been blown away long ago, and through the window, they could even see a lot of messy things flying in the sky outside. : "It's raining so hard, it's like splashing water."

Qin Huai sent a message in the compound group, asking them to close the doors and windows tightly, and leave the cloth outside alone. I don't know if people will be blown away in such a heavy wind and rain, but they are low-rise buildings, and they are easily carried by the wind. If it was smashed to the ground to collect the sunshade cloth, it would not be worthwhile at all.

Needless to say, Qin Huai didn't dare to come out when Song Jia was alone at home. He quickly sent a message to his brother. His brother went to work when it was just dark. Counting the time, he should have arrived long ago, but it's better to ask. peace of mind.

Wu Zheng had already arrived at the factory. Seeing the heavy rain outside, he was about to ask Song Jia about the situation at home. When he saw Song Jia's message, he wrote back to him, telling him not to worry.

After the torrential rain completely extinguished the heat of the entire land, Mu Nan felt that he was alive, that he didn't need the oxygen machine, and was hungry. He quickly ran to take a shower, and took a small The table wants to eat hot pot.

Eating hot pot on a rainy day, Xu Ming, who lives next door to them, is not there. He has gone to work, so he doesn’t have to worry about being smelled by others. The key is the spicy appetizer.

Qin Huai had no choice but to follow him, but filtered out a layer of oil from the slightly spicy hot pot, as long as there was a little bit of hot pot flavor, it was fine, even if you were hungry all day on an empty stomach, you can't eat too spicy.

Fat beef tripe, yellow-throated loin slices, hot butter pot, and the torrential rain outside. Mu Nan burped after taking a sip of the drink: "Summer goes best with hot pot."

Qin Huai chuckled: "You go well with hot pot all year round."

Mu Nan sighed, "Now there are no four seasons, only winter and summer."

Put the blanched beef into Qin Huai's bowl, and urged him to eat it quickly. Hearing the sound of rain outside, Mu Nan was a little worried: "There is a river next to it, will it be flooded? It's so big, our yard Can the sewers here hold up?"

When they built the courtyard wall before, there was a special hole for drainage. At first, it was used to prevent the drainage of the snow after the snow melted. Now that there is such a heavy rainfall, I don’t know if the hole can be eaten.

Qin Huai said: "It's okay, let's go out and have a look when the rain is a little less, and it shouldn't be blocked."

It took more than an hour to eat and eat the hot pot, and the rain outside did not seem to be getting any less. Qin Huai went to the balcony to watch for a while, and there was no water in the yard. The situation was fine, but the temperature outside dropped a little. , but it didn't fall too much. On the contrary, the humidity of the rain and the high temperature made it still stuffy like a steamer even though it was raining.

With this humidity, let alone Mu Nan, even standing outside for a while felt a little suffocating.

Fortunately, the cooling effect of the air conditioner in the house is good, and the damp heat will be much better if the temperature is lowered. Qin Huai wore a raincoat and went to the yard to check it. The drainage hole is very smooth.

When building the top floor before, because there were a lot of mosquitoes, some insects would come out of the ground in the yard, so I simply filled the entire ground with cement. At that time, I specially made an angle slightly inclined towards the drainage hole, which would The opening of the hole is like a faucet spraying water, which shows the heavy rain.

I was sure there was nothing wrong with my yard, and Qin Huai didn't stay too long. The heavy rain didn't fall on people, but on the body, and it hurt even through the raincoat. Although I was wearing a raincoat, Qin Huai would not Still drenched from the inside out.

Mu Nan hurriedly asked Qin Huai to take a hot bath. Although it was very hot outside now, the rain would make his body hot, but it was rain after all. Who knew that the rain would not dry out. There were so many mosquitoes and parasites outside. With that condition, it is naturally better to be careful.

I was supposed to sleep during the day, but the rain didn’t fall. The sultry heat before the rain made Mu Nan unable to breathe, and it’s been a toss until now. Now that the rain is coming down, I’m full of food and drink, and I’m dozing off. There was no hidden danger of water leakage inside or outside, and the rabbits were not frightened by the occasional thunderstorms so that they would not eat grass. Mu Nan climbed onto the bed exhausted and fell asleep after a while.

Qin Huai also accompanied him for a whole day. Seeing that Mu Nan was finally able to fall asleep, he followed him to catch up on sleep. If it wasn't for the strong wind that always smashed things, the sound of the rain was actually quite hypnotic, but even if it was smashed The sound didn't affect Mu Nan's sleep much.

When I woke up, the sky outside was bright, but it was quite gloomy. I took out my phone and checked the time. It was past eight o'clock in the morning. He went to bed at about one or two o'clock yesterday. He didn't wake up in the middle. It's better to sleep at night. Comfortable.

The other side of the bed was already empty, and I didn't know when Qin Huai got up. Mu Nan lingered on the bed for a while, shouted twice, but no one answered, so he got up, washed his face and brushed his teeth, and then went downstairs to find someone.

Before he got down to the first floor, he saw Qin Huai at the stairs on the second floor: "Brother, what are you doing here?"

Qin Huai turned his head and glanced at him: "It's flooded."

Mu Nan ran down quickly, and then saw that the first floor was really flooded, and the water covered half of the kang built on the first floor, and if one stepped on it, it would be as deep as knees.

The water flooded in, but the rain outside did not stop, it was still raining exaggeratedly, and the sound of the water was rushing, and the people who heard it panicked.

The two went upstairs and looked out from the balcony on the second floor. It was already a vast ocean outside.

Mu Nan felt that the situation was a bit wrong: "Brother, there is a river next to us, will the water rush up?"

Qin Huai is also thinking about this issue. He chose to live here before, and the river course was one of the conditions considered at that time. Moreover, the entire river course is low-lying. Even if it is flooded, this river course can still carry part of the hydraulic power. The biggest difference between rivers and rivers is that the water in the river is inexhaustible, and it will rise when the rain is too heavy, but the dry river will only carry the excess water. If it overflows, it will also overflow downstream.

But Qin Huai didn't expect, or even though he thought of the one-in-ten-thousandth possibility, he didn't expect it to happen so quickly. The river that was about to be dried up after the night of torrential rain would overflow, and the entire downstream area had become a flood. Judging from the current rain, the water is likely to rise even more. What's more, if this is a continuous torrential rain, the city that was finally rebuilt may become an underwater city up.

I was worried in my heart, but when the most serious possibility has not yet happened, there is no need to speak out to make Mu Nan anxious, so Qin Huai comforted: "It's okay, if the water floods up, we will live on the roof. The water can flood the whole house, and we can use a boat to escape, and now there are almost no high-rise buildings outside, as long as there are no rapids and waves, our small boat can still ride the wind and waves."

The main reason is that even if you want to leave now to take refuge in a high-rise building, the tallest buildings in the vicinity are the few apartments that are still standing, but how many people can this apartment house hold? There was already an earthquake, and the water was really flooded so high. In order to survive, there must be a swarm of people running up. At that time, the lower buildings will be soaked in water, and the weight of the upper floors will continue to increase. It is lucky to be able to resist, and there is no place to escape if they cannot bear it.

Another one, now that mosquitoes are raging, parasitic infections, and flooding, I can't imagine how many people will get sick when there are so many people and almost no hygienic conditions, so there is no place to run for the time being, so stay safe Just stay at home, if it doesn’t work, just use a boat to run. It is a pity that there was not enough time at that time, and the procedures were too cumbersome, otherwise it would be safer to borrow a small speedboat.

Hearing what Qin Huai said, although Mu Nan was not so anxious anymore, he still started to take stock of the things in the space that can survive in the water. There must be a boat. There are a lot of search and rescue boats that can be built, as well as some motorboats and life jackets.

"Brother, this ugly green protective clothing is sealed from head to toe. If we are going to flee, can we wear it? But this is so thick, it feels like we will die of heat inside, but if we don't wear it, we don't know if we are in the water. There's something, mosquitoes, rats and ants, maybe a dead body."

Qin Huai said: "Then you put it aside for now, I hope you don't need it, and when it's time to escape, try to wear one as much as possible, one for isolation and one for protection, and if you spend too long in the water, you may lose your temperature on a hot day .”

After taking stock of all the things, Mu Nan couldn't help but sighed: "When the time comes, what will Jian Chu and the others do? It's too unreasonable for us to just take out a lifeboat."

Qin Huai pulled him upstairs, and said: "We can give them a lifeboat, a portable one that can squeeze three to four people, escape together if they can, separate if they can't, and if they can't, it's a force majeure of natural disasters, like It is caused by the turbulent water flow that human beings cannot resist, this kind of accident, even if you don’t want to, there is nothing you can do about it.”

Then he turned around and looked at Mu Nan, and said seriously: "There is another situation, that is, we run out of ammunition and food. At that time, when we leave voluntarily, the space cannot be exposed. They are so hungry that they are about to die. I think it is impossible for you to secretly eat yourself under such circumstances without any psychological burden, so you can only leave."

Mu Nan nodded. Although it was selfish to think so, it was impossible for him to reveal the secret of the space to people other than Qin Huai. Order food, I just hope that this difficult choice will never happen in this life.
