Natural Disaster Apocalypse

Chapter 127:

The rain was so heavy that it almost never stopped. Those who worked outside were trapped and could not come back. Xu Ming was fine. There were not many veterinarians on the farm, so they often had to work overtime, so they had their own A room to rest, but I guess there is no time to rest. The heavy rain flooded not only houses, but also animals. Some animals that were originally healthy and isolated from sick animals, if they are not driven to high places in time, the only remaining I'm afraid some of them will disappear too.

Another Wu Zheng who works outside is also very busy. They want to grab the machine. Animals will not die after soaking in the water for a while, but the machine will be scrapped as soon as it hits the water, especially these machines were originally dug out after the earthquake. It has just been repaired, and now it still often loses parts, and it can't handle this kind of flood at all. It was originally planned to raise it a little bit, but as the water flooded deeper and deeper, the equipment in various factories continued to increase and transfer, but some of them were still scrapped in the water.

Those things that seem to have nowhere to continue to grow and can only be scrapped in the water, whether they are government-supported factories or privately contracted bosses, all have pale faces and are full of despair. Just when life is about to improve, they knock people down again At the bottom of the valley, it’s not that I can’t afford to pay. Now in this world, at most one life is nothing to be afraid of, but the psychological blow makes many people unable to bear it. Few people have the strength to face every situation bravely. One up and one down.

Some recruits have not been trained for a long time, and the rescue will start again. The rescue is for those in the outer city who are either in isolation for observation, or who have passed the isolation but because they do not have that condition, they can only live in the shed. Simple, not to mention such a heavy rain, even if it is just a little rain, there are leaks everywhere. Not to mention that the shed is just a small flat floor, and there is no way to hide in a high place. Many people have been forced to soak in the rain for most of the night.

These people must be transferred as soon as possible, but there are not enough boats. There were some rescue supplies in the base before, but not many. Dozens of that kind of rescue inflatable boats will save more than 100,000 people. There are eight isolation areas in the entire new city. Behind the isolation area is a flat-story shed, and one area is tens of thousands, eight, at least two to three hundred thousand.

This is the group of people who do not have a house to live in. Those who have a place to live, but live on the first or second floor, are also flooded. They can only brave the heavy rain to move, but where can they move? This area , Only one area is a high-rise apartment building. When many people realize that the situation is wrong, they move towards the apartment building with all their belongings, even if they live on the top floor or in the corridor, as long as they stay away from the overflowing water source.

The people who went to the apartment building at first went upstairs smoothly, but they were blocked by the residents of the apartment later. There were already many people living in their building, and the sanitary conditions were already very poor. A pile of refugees, some kind of infectious disease broke out, I am afraid it will be staged an extreme survival in an abandoned isolation building.

The most troublesome thing for the top is that the underground passage that was finally re-opened was directly filled with water. Fortunately, the track is still under construction and the subway has not been put down. Otherwise, the water will completely fill the underground, and the repaired subway will be scrapped again up.

These electronic equipment and instruments cannot withstand the irrigation of rainwater. The patches of indoor fields are also flooded, and others can be transferred to higher places. How can the things that have been planted in the soil be transferred? In order to prevent summer drought, I'm afraid that this year will be hot and rainless again, so most of the planting areas are planted with drought tolerance. Now I don't know how much can survive being soaked in water.

Song Jia didn't need Wu Zheng's advice, the whole building was their house, if the water got in below, then move up.

Xu Ming sent a message to Yu Zibai before the Internet was disconnected, and he sent Yu Zibai the password of the gate on his own floor. If the water below flooded up, let them go to the third floor. If you can't carry it, you can only go to the top floor. If the top floor can't do it, you can only wait for rescue.

Qin Huai and his family are very simple. There was nothing on the first floor. They used to sleep on the kang in winter. When the weather warmed up, they moved almost all the things that could be moved upstairs on the first floor. When the water was about to flood the stairs on the second floor, Mu Nan hastily put all the things on the second floor into the space first, and moved a bunch of rabbits to the third floor. He has space, so he can put everything away as soon as he has it. It's very easy.

The neighbors next door to him are in a terrible situation. They need to rely on manpower to move the items in their homes to higher places before the water floods up. In addition, the water is so high that they can't do it even if there is no power outage. Dare to use electricity, the electrical equipment is soaked in water and short-circuited, I am afraid it will die, so I switched off the power early, in such a hot day, carrying upstairs and downstairs, the power is still cut off, it is not necessary Human life.

Yesterday it was Mu Nan who was so stuffy and out of breath, today it was his neighbors who were so tired and out of breath, they were tired and hot, coupled with the continuous torrential rain, the humidity in the air was too high, the breath was sticky and damp, Even more suffocating.

The water hadn't gone up to the second floor yet, so Mu Nan and his family's third floor was fine. After the rabbit settled down and another big ice cube was placed, Mu Nan and Qin Huai took a simple shower. There is no way to use electricity if there is a big ice cube, so it can only be cooled by ice.

Looking at the cold ice cubes, Mu Nan sighed: "I thought that this year would be the same as last year, that there would not be much consumption of ice cubes, and I also thought that the ice cubes hoarded throughout the winter might not be needed. A few times, after all, as long as there is sunshine, there will be no power outage at home, I didn’t expect to use it so soon.”

Looking at the courtyard downstairs that has become the sea, and the residential area that is filled with ocean at a glance, and the heavy rain that has not shown any signs of stopping, Mu Nan sat on the bay window of the room and worried: "Brother, if the water can recede , Will some disease break out again? Such a hot day, such a large amount of water, life is too difficult."

Qin Huai turned on the air-conditioning fan. Although there were ice cubes in the room, the ice cubes could only lower the overall temperature in the house, but it was impossible to compare with the air-conditioning, unless several pieces were placed to surround people, but that would be The cold air is too heavy, so if you want to cool down to the point where people can feel comfortable, you still need the blessing of fans, and more than a dozen batteries are consumed one by one a day. If all the batteries stored in the space are used up, the water has not receded. Then they are really going to run away.

"It will definitely be. In the current situation, I don't know what is soaked in the water. Many germs breed in this humid and hot environment, so don't touch the water. Disinfect at home three times a day, three times a day. Don't open the door of the building indiscriminately, if you feel uncomfortable, tell me as soon as possible."

Mu Nan nodded humbly, and when the air conditioner was turned on, she immediately let out a long and comfortable sigh: "How do you survive the days when there is no space?"

Qin Huai: "Suffering."

A few rumbling thunders made the already gloomy sky gloomy again, and the rain intensified again. Mu Nan leaned towards Qinhuai. The astronomical phenomenon has simply become the doomsday of the doomsday.

Qin Huai diverted his attention: "What are you eating today?"

Mu Nan shook his head: "Whatever, I don't have anything to eat."

Speaking of eating, he thought of Jian Chu and the others next door: "The power is cut off now, and they don't know if they have stored water at home. The firewood in the garage must have been soaked, and they can't even turn on the fire. What about eating? ?”

Qin Huai said: "If you're worried, you can send them something. Both the pot helmet and the naan are relatively durable. In such a hot weather, the naan can be stored for at least three to five days."

Mu Nan nodded, thinking about the hardness of the naan, Jian Chu might not be able to digest it now, so he added two more cold steamed buns, the flood just started yesterday, and the power outage didn't last long, so there might be no way to see him off, it's so hot The weather is so bad that things can't be kept at all, but the steamed buns should be able to be kept for a while, but I'm afraid it won't be too long before they get hot and sour. Let's eat a meal first, and let's talk about the later.

Qin Huai went to knock on the door from the top floor, and they opened a door on the upper and lower sides, just to make it easier for them to go out on both sides, so they don't need to get wet, but there is a road away from Song Jia's side, and now it is flooded so much Seriously, the courtyard downstairs may have been flooded to the height of a person, and it was impossible to get through. The rain was heavy, and the wind and rain were blowing. The windows on both sides were open and the shouts were a little hard to hear.

But they have discussed it before, if there is anything that they can't contact, they will hang white cloths in the windows on both sides of the communication, to prove that there is nothing wrong with the house, don't worry, if there is any emergency, hang red cloths, Now Song Jia's window is hung with white cloth, so don't worry about that side for the time being.

When Qin Huai arrived at the top floor and was about to knock on the door, Yu Zibai knocked first. The connecting door on the top floor was not locked, but for safety, both sides were equipped with built-in locks, just thinking that when one side has something to run to the other side, the door should be locked. Locking it can buy a little time to escape, but generally when there is nothing to do, neither side will be locked, but the door will not be opened casually. If there is something to do, the door must be knocked first. This basic respect for privacy is still there.

As soon as Yu Zibai knocked, Qin Huai opened the door: "I was just going to find you."

Yu Zibo said: "Is there something wrong?"

Qin Huai smiled: "I want to ask you how to deal with the food. I prepared some naan before. Nan Nan is more sensitive to the rainy season. I feel it before it rains. So I was worried about the power outage, so I prepared it in advance. I bought some durable things, but I didn't expect that the rain would be so heavy."

Yu Zibai thought that something happened to them, he was slightly relieved when he heard the words, and said: "We can take care of our own food, when you said in the group that it might rain, we also made preparations, it will rain heavily When I was in the garage, I was afraid that the garage would get flooded, so I specially transferred the firewood in the garage, but fortunately, the transfer was fast, and I would like to ask if you need firewood for the fire."

Qin Huai said: "No need, we are also prepared, as long as you are prepared, let us know if you need anything."

Yu Zibo said: "These are minor problems, now there is a more serious problem, come here."

Qin Huai followed Yu Zibai to their side. Yu Zibai and his side were close to the courtyard wall, so they could directly see the river on one side, but the water hadn't overflowed the courtyard wall yet, and it wasn't so exaggerated. After all, the courtyard wall The height is almost two stories high, and the current water only floods the first floor.

Yu Zibai took Qin Huai to the third floor where they were, because Xu Ming had told them the gate code, for safety reasons, they didn't come up for the time being, but they brought all the food and supplies up first, fearing that it would be too late when the water flooded up During the transfer, especially in such a heavy rain, Xu Ming never came back, so Yu Zibai checked the doors and windows on the third floor by the way, fearing that the doors and windows were damaged and directly entering the water from upstairs, that would be a disaster.

Yu Zibai took Qin Huai to a room on the third floor, opened the curtains and pointed outside, "What I saw when I checked the doors and windows, should I find a way to deal with it, or let him float away with the current?"

Outside the window, which was almost halfway up to the courtyard wall, there was a corpse. The corpse was floating face down on the water, but it could be identified as a man by his clothes and hair.

Yu Zibai didn't want to make trouble for himself either. In their current situation, they definitely couldn't get out. If they couldn't get out, they couldn't deal with the corpse. But the problem was that the corpse was leaning against the wall, soaking the corpse The water was flooding their house now, no matter whether it could be dealt with or not, Yu Zibai felt that he had to tell Qin Huai and the others to at least raise their awareness of prevention.

It's raining heavily now, but the water is calm and not rushing, so the body soaked in the water is not moved by the current at all, and it has been leaning against the wall. The water is still too hot to rot quickly, and the corpse is only separated by a wall from them. Even if they try not to touch the water downstairs, all kinds of germs that grow will be spread by the water.

Seeing that Qin Huai hadn't come back for a while, Mu Nan was worried that there was something wrong with them, so she came over and said, "Brother, what are you doing?"

Qin Huai turned around and said, "I'm looking at how to deal with the corpse outside."

Mu Nan was taken aback: "A corpse?"

Qin Huai hummed, but didn't stop Mu Nan from coming. The dead are not so scary. As long as it's not a brutal murder scene, a complete corpse, even half of its body and face soaked in water, is nothing to be afraid of. Yes, he believed that Mu Nan still had some guts.

Mu Nan also followed him to take a look. He didn't know how much he had come into contact with the ruins of the earthquake before. Of course, he didn't feel terrible to this level, and he even asked calmly: "How to deal with this? Why not?" Fly away?"

Yu Zibo: "It rains heavily, but the water doesn't flow very much."

Mu Nan: "It's so close to the wall, how about using an extended pole to push it away?"

There is definitely no way to salvage them. One of them can’t get out, and if they salvage the other, where should they put it, or put it in their own home? Obviously it is impossible, so they can only push it away as much as possible, hoping that the water can take the body away.

Yu Zibai: "There is no such long tool."

Mu Nan said: "My family has one. The wooden shelves I made for tomatoes before can be disassembled and **** with some cloth."

Of course, this kind of matter should be dealt with quickly. Qin Huai and Mu Nan went back to dismantle the shelves, and Yu Zibai went to prepare the cloth strips for binding. Push it away, someone must stick out the window, his house is more comprehensively protected, so it's better for them to come.

As a result, when the pole was pushed past, they discovered that the corpse did not float away because the water flow was not enough to move it, but the corpse’s clothes were hanging on something on the wall, and they couldn’t push it away at all. If they wanted to deal with it, I’m afraid You have to go down alone.

Qin Huai retreated in temporarily, and Mu Nan said, "Why don't we forget it first? Maybe the rain will stop soon, and someone will take care of it."

When a few people were discussing whether to find a rope to tie people up and step on the courtyard wall outside, they saw someone coming in a boat. There was a simple support on the boat to block the rain, but even if it was blocked, But the rain was too heavy, and there was still a lot of water on the boat, and the people on the boat scooped the water out from time to time.

Seeing that they were about to dispose of the corpse leaning against the wall, the people on the boat shouted to them: "Ten catties of rice, I'll help you dispose of it!"

Mu Nan was startled. These people are willing to sacrifice their lives just to make money?

Although the water outside is very calm now, there are no waves, but this is flooding, and it may develop into a flood at any time. When a torrent comes, people will be washed away. When Mu Nan was hesitating, Qin Huai said to the outside : "Three packs of instant noodles!"

The man hesitated for a moment, then nodded quickly, and then rowed over, Qin Huai said to Mu Nan, "Go back and get instant noodles."

Yu Zibai said: "My family sells two packs, just a little bit of instant noodles left."

Qin Huai said: "No, Nan Nan doesn't like the mushroom-flavored one, so I keep the ones I sent before, so we can just give them."

Yu Zibai hurriedly said: "That's not okay, how about this, my family sells a bag, and your family sells more. You can't always make you work hard and produce food." After Yu Zibo finished speaking, he went downstairs to get instant noodles, thinking about it. Find a chance to make something to eat and send it to Qinhuai Munan and the others. His family is running out of food, and it is indeed a bit difficult to get two packs, but it can't take advantage of others.

Mu Nan also ran back quickly, and then took two bags of mushroom-flavored instant noodles from the space, and found a plastic bag to wrap it in a layer. Although there was an outer packaging, if it accidentally fell into the water , After all, it is edible, so it is safer to wrap it in another layer.

When Mu Nan came over, the boat over there had just rowed to the corpse, and the man was pulling it with gloves on. The corpse's clothes were not just hooked up, but directly entangled. The quality of the clothes was quite good, I think. If you want to tear it, you can’t tear it apart. In the end, it took a lot of effort to pull away the iron hook hanging on the corpse’s clothes, and then pushed the corpse away with force. Now there is no way to deal with the corpse, so we can only temporarily That's it for now.

If the internet and power are cut off, it is not enough to even notify that there is a dead body here. It depends on whether he can encounter rescuers when he paddles back. There are too few rescuers, and now it is important to save people.

Qin Huai hung one end of the plastic bag on the pole they just made, and then handed out the instant noodles.

The people on the boat knelt up to get it, subconsciously raised their heads and glanced at the person upstairs. At this glance, they immediately felt that the person looked familiar, but they couldn't remember it all at once. In addition, the rain was too heavy, which hindered their sight a bit. When another young man poked his head behind the man in the raincoat, the people on the boat asked in surprise, "Qin Huai?"

Qin Huai was stunned for a moment, a little unable to recognize the person who called his name.

The man quickly waved to them: "I, Wang Xiaoli!"

Qin Huai couldn't recognize the person, because he was very different from the Wang Xiaoli in his memory, but after hearing the name and matching the voice, he recognized it. Wang Xiaoli, his class monitor in high school, also wrote to him privately later, saying Mu Nan looked for people everywhere, and it can be said that if it weren't for Wang Xiaoli, he would not have been so lucky to leave home before the smog came, and if it was a day or two later, his way home might not have been so smooth.

Qin Huai didn't recognize him, and Mu Nan didn't recognize him even more. He would find Wang Xiaoli to ask Qin Huai, and it was only because Wang Xiaoli was relatively active in Qinhuai's high school group at that time, and often organized alumni gatherings. He sneaked in there secretly, diving all the time, seeing that Wang Xiaoli often held parties, so he wanted to ask those classmates if anyone had contacted Qin Huai.

But from the beginning to the end, except when he went to school to find Qin Huai and met Wang Xiaoli once or twice, he had never met Wang Xiaoli many times, let alone Wang Xiaoli in his memory was a cheerful but overweight person. The thin person in front of him is nothing like that fat guy.

Unexpectedly, meeting Wang Xiaoli in such a situation, Qin Huai wanted to ask a few more questions about the other party's situation, but now it was flooded and raining, it was really not a chance to talk, Qin Huai asked Mu Nan to write a message on the phone. No., and sent it to him in a plastic bag, so that Wang Xiaoli can come to him if he needs anything. Anyway, Wang Xiaoli now knows his address.

After tossing around for a long time, he found out that he was an old classmate. Wang Xiaoli wanted to return the instant noodles to them. Now that the food is becoming more and more precious, he wanted to take advantage of the convenience of owning a boat and take advantage of the opportunity to earn some food. Rent a house in the inner city, but you won't be able to earn money from your old classmates.

But Qin Huai didn't want it. From Wang Xiaoli's point of view, it seems that life is not very good. Now there is a little condition that he can not go out without going out. No matter what, it is not worth using his life to get rich, unless life is too bad. If you don't do this, you will starve to death. Even if a stranger helped them dispose of the dead body by the wall, they should give some rewards. If you know this, you can't take advantage of others.

In the end, Wang Xiaoli rowed away, and disposed of the dead body hanging on the wall outside. When he left, he pushed the dead body farther with a paddling plank, so as not to float over again after a while.

Although the house was filled with water, it was better than having a dead body rotting in the water right next to them.

Yu Zibai stayed to clean up the water in the room. Qin Huai returned to them while taking off his raincoat and protective clothing. Did not meet."

Qin Huai said: "Universities are from all corners of the country, and not all from the local area. Wang Xiaoli is from the local area, and it is fate to meet him."

Mu Nan: "Brother, do you think he will come to you?"

Qin Huai didn't know about this. The squad leader in his memory was a very enthusiastic person who helped others a lot but seldom asked for help. But it's hard to say what will happen to people these days, but he After all, I owe Wang Xiaoli a favor. If you come to him for help with something, you can help as much as you can. It's not Wang Xiaoli. He and Mu Nan don't know what the situation is now.
