Survival [End Times]

22. Disaster Doomsday 09

In room 612 downstairs, Chen Qiao pouted and said, "Brother Hui, you also saw that they have so many things. A bag of rice and two boxes of instant noodles are not too little?" The implication was that she wanted to raise the price.

Liu Guohui said, "It's all settled. The people have moved in. Besides, Sister Wu won't agree."

"She is just too rigid."

Liu Guohui thought: When we discussed the accommodation fee, you were also there. Didn't you agree to whatever Sister Wu said? Why are you talking about it now?

But he wouldn't say that he and Chen Qiao had just gotten together. Chen Qiao was young and beautiful. How could she have liked him before? Now that she offered it to him, he would just accept it and coax her.

"You saw it all. They don't look like rich people. It's not easy for them to come up with these. Isn't there a pregnant woman? Just be generous."

Chen Qiao liked to hear such words the most. She smiled and stopped talking, but her hands were circling around Liu Guohui's chest. They were just being intimate, but unexpectedly, they were called down by Wu Chunyan. Chen Qiao lived on the fifth floor, and she secretly went up to the sixth floor to meet Liu Guohui.

So Liu Guohui went downstairs, and she was still hiding here, hoping that when Wu Chunyan knocked on her door, she would think that she was asleep and didn't answer the door. What she didn't know was that Wu Chunyan didn't knock on her door at all.

The next day, Yu Heng woke up early and went to see the rain and water accumulation as soon as possible. From the window, the rain was the same as yesterday, but it was too high to see the water accumulation. Looking down, it was all water waves.

He went downstairs and stood in front of the glass door of the lobby on the first floor and looked out. He saw that the water outside was almost half of the base of the stone lion. Yu Heng had taken a look during the day and the base was not low, about half a meter high.

He decided to drive the truck back and return it to the owner as soon as possible. Fortunately, when he went downstairs, he saw Wu Chunyan also got up, so he went to find her to open the door. Wu Chunyan opened the door for him very readily. Yu Heng explained to Zhang Tao and handed it over.

The waterlogging in the city is not serious at present, but when you come to Wanghai Bridge, the bridge deck has been flooded, but fortunately you can still see the bridge deck clearly. Yu Heng turned left and right and returned to the village, only to find that this side was flooded quite seriously.

The family who borrowed his car lived at the head of the village, which was relatively high. Yu Heng found that the water in his house had reached his calves.

"Hey! Hengle boy! I don't know how to thank you. Fortunately, you drove the car back, otherwise what would I do with all these things at home!" Old man Chen came out and patted him on the shoulder heavily.

He told Yu Heng last night that he hadn't moved goods for a long time, and this car was idle anyway, so he could drive it casually and didn't need to rush to return it.

When I got up this morning, my feet were cold and watery, and the tables, chairs and appliances at home were all flooded. The family hurried to move, and just as they moved the things upstairs, his older brother came.

Pulling him aside, he said: It is very unlucky for the bridge deck of Wanghai Bridge to be flooded. It was flooded once sixty years ago. As a result, the flood disaster was extremely serious and many people died.

At that time, Old Man Chen was only two years old and had no impression. His elder brother was twelve years old at that time. It was still the elder brother who held him in the basin.

He didn't believe it, but the elder brother was very anxious. He had never said a harsh word to him since he was a child. This time, he said that if he didn't listen to him, he should not call him brother in the future.

What a thing!

The elder brother is already in his seventies. I can't watch him get so anxious. It's not good for his health. There is no way, so I have to move to my son's house in the city first. My son lives on the sixth floor. No matter how flooded it is, it won't flood now, right? It happened that my son was going to live in the city, so he took his wife with him. The elder brother left with satisfaction-his family was still packing up, and he had to go back to help.

The whole family was leaving, and the son's car was not enough. Fortunately, Yu Heng sent the car back in time.

Yu Heng smiled: "Mr. Chen said it very well. It's true that old people have experience. We young people should listen more."

This made old man Chen look younger. He couldn't stop laughing. "The house is messy. I'll invite you to sit next time."

"Okay, Second Master, be careful on the road."

He went back home on the way. The water was up to his knees as he walked deeper. The door at home was difficult to open under the water pressure. He carried his bicycle out and rode it on the high ground. It's such a long way. It would take until noon to walk back.

The Liu family next door was arguing, but he didn't care. He carried the bicycle and waded through the water across the Wanghai Bridge. In just a moment, the bridge deck could not be seen. Fortunately, there were lampposts at the head and body of the bridge. It was safe to walk over by touching the lampposts.

When he reached the end of the bridge, the water suddenly surged and a wave came over and wet Yu Heng's thigh. The force was not small. Yu Heng carried the bicycle with one hand and held the lamp post with the other hand. He almost couldn't stand steadily. After walking over, he put the bicycle down and looked in the direction of the wave.

The water surface in the distance was surging with waves, and the waves rose and fell, swinging in circles, as if some power was brewing.

Yu Heng felt uneasy. In Wu Hengle's memory, the river spanned by Wanghai Bridge was called Wanghai River. The river was not wide, but it was long. It was one of the branches of Lujiang River. Lujiang River was very wide, irrigating several provinces and cities in the south. It can be said to be the main stream of the southern water system. In recent years, several large power stations have been built, intercepting a lot of water.

The drought was serious before, and some people complained online, saying that too many interception dams were built, making the downstream without water to drink.

The place where Wanghai River branches off from Lujiang River is Shuanghuang Mountain in the next town. There is a natural terrain there. A power station was built there five years ago. The high dam blocks the rushing river water, causing the water volume of Wanghai River to decrease in recent years.

After two years of drought, the reservoir had long been dry. But it had been raining for almost ten consecutive days, and the rainfall was still considerable. The dam had been abandoned for a long time, and it was in the hot summer, so it was hard to guarantee that it would be damaged. But would there be a person in charge to repair it in time?

Yu Heng had a layer of cold sweat on his back, and he dared not think or look anymore, and rode his bike to the hotel. After riding for only a few minutes, he suddenly heard someone screaming behind him, and he turned his head reflexively.

A wave as high as a building roared from a distance, rolled up and fell, and rolled up again after accumulating strength, like a lion that had just woken up, coming with an indomitable momentum, sweeping all the surrounding buildings and people.

Screams and shouts continued to ring.

Yu Heng quickly calmed down and rode his bike very fast. The sound of water behind him became louder and louder, mixed with the sound of things colliding with each other.

He could swim, so he was not afraid of being drowned, but was afraid of things rolled up in the water. He turned the corner quickly, threw away the bike, and saw a house with an open door. There were children playing with toys at the door, and he immediately picked up the child.

The woman who was washing clothes in the rain at the door shouted, "What are you doing! Give me the child back!" She thought he was a child trafficker.

Yu Heng grabbed the woman's hand that was rushing towards him and dragged her into the house: "The flood is coming, come in quickly!"

The woman was so angry that she was shaking, and she tried her best to grab the crying child. Yu Heng took the opportunity to clamp the woman and pull her into the house, then turned around and locked the door.

The woman hurriedly stepped back, looked at Yu Heng defensively, and kept shouting, "Husband! Husband!" As soon as a man on the second floor responded, there was a heavy sound on the door, and water squeezed in through the crack of the door. The door panel kept shaking, and the water rushed in more fiercely. The sound of something sharp hitting the iron door was particularly loud, which made people panic.

The shouting in the woman's throat stopped abruptly.

The water kept flooding in, and Yu Heng pulled her upstairs, and she forgot to shake him off.

"Who are you!" The man came down from the second floor and saw Yu Heng holding his wife and the child crying, and he was about to rush up immediately.

"Brother, don't do it! Sister, you can see that there is a flood outside, so I borrowed your house to take shelter. I didn't have time to explain just now. I didn't mean any harm--" Yu Heng let go of her hand, and used her eyes to signal the child in the woman's arms: "I saved your child's life."

"What flood? Who are you? Get out of my house immediately, or I will be rude."

The woman turned her head and looked downstairs. The water had already submerged the low table where the TV was placed. The LCD TV worth four thousand was about to touch the water. Their house is a new house, so the steps are relatively high, about half a meter higher than other houses, and the low table is at least 40 centimeters lower!

"Husband, come and see, the house is really flooded!" The woman stopped her husband's fist and let him see, and the man was really shocked.

"What's going on?"

"I don't know. I was just washing clothes outside!" The two looked at Yu Heng, and Yu Heng shook his head: "I don't know either. I was riding my bike on the road just now, and I found that there was water coming from Wanghai River, so I ran quickly and happened to see your house... Your house has a balcony, right? Let's go up and take a look."

The man motioned his wife to hold the child and go up first. He walked behind, still a little cautious in his heart. This is human nature, Yu Heng followed behind honestly.

Their new house is four stories high. When they walked to the balcony on the second floor, the couple were dumbfounded, and Yu Heng's heart tightened.

Looking around, the first floors of many houses were half flooded, and the waves surged, and bicycles, wooden boards and other sundries rose and fell. This place was like a funnel pressed on the sky and was suddenly filled with water without any effort.

"What's going on?" Looking at the people shouting for help in the waves, the woman was frightened and her face turned pale, and she subconsciously hugged the child tightly. Her child was just playing at the door! If she didn't react, the child would be swept away. How could she survive?

"You saved our lives. Thank you! Thank you!"

Yu Heng smiled bitterly: "It's just a favor. I also want to thank you for letting me take refuge in your house. Now I don't dare to go out. I hope you can let me stay in your house for a while. I will leave when it's calm outside."

"Just stay here and have lunch at our house!" the man also said.

"No, there's food waiting for me at home."

Yu Heng took the stool handed to him by the woman and sat on the balcony on the second floor waiting.

It was really a close call just now. That wave seemed to be a flood with all its strength. There were no large-scale waves after that. Yu Heng suspected that the dam above had really collapsed, and the flood had brought about this disaster.

The destructive power of that blow was extremely strong, and the things swept away were in a mess. If a person was swept away, he would be in danger of death.

Slowly, the water waves calmed down, the flow rate of the water slowed down, and the water level began to drop.

This water must have poured into other places, and I don’t know which village or town will be affected ahead.
