Survival [End Times]

When the water level dropped from half a floor to half the height of the door, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon. Yu Heng still had lunch at this family, but he was too embarrassed to eat more, so he only drank a bowl of porridge.

In the evening, when the water level reached his knees, he left. Before leaving, he told the family that it was better to live on the fourth floor, which was safer. If the water level was higher in the future, they would have to run to a higher building outside.

The couple was still frightened, so they moved to the fourth floor that night and took good care of the child, never letting him play outside alone again.

When he got outside, the bicycle left at the door had long disappeared, so he walked on foot. The funny thing was that he met his bicycle at the intersection in front of him. It was stuck on the street light, the basket was gone, and one of the pedals was missing, but fortunately it could still be ridden.

Some people began to walk out and pick up things on the road.

"Ah! There's a person here!"

A middle-aged woman screamed. It turned out that a body floated up from the water and faced the woman.

"Isn't this the grandson of the old Zhang family!"

The people around gathered together, and someone ran to inform the Zhang family.

Yu Heng sighed and continued to walk forward. As a result, he met Zhang Tao halfway! Zhang Tao drove his van slowly in front, and Yu Heng saw him and waved to him.

"Finally found you! Come up quickly and put the bike in the back." Zhang Tao also smiled and looked him up and down: "I'm relieved to see that you are okay. The water was really big this morning! The first floor of the hotel was flooded. Xiaoxin was worried to death. When the water level dropped a little, she urged me to go out to pick you up."

"Hey, I'm fine. I hid in time." After sitting down, Yu Heng breathed a sigh of relief.

"This is really, I can't even imagine it! The Chenduyan dam burst that year, and this one today is not much different, right?" Zhang Tao said.

Chenduyan is a power station in another province. When they were in elementary school, a dam burst, and all the surrounding villages were affected. It happened in the middle of the night, and countless people were killed and injured.

At that time, the news was overwhelming. They even interrupted their classes to hold a one-minute mourning. This was a major event that year. The news was reported continuously for a whole year, and the relevant officials were dismissed, so they still remember it vividly.

"That's right. Fortunately, we are not at the end and the distance is far. The residents under Shuanghuang Mountain..." Yu Heng said.

The topic was heavy, and both of them sighed and didn't want to talk about it anymore.

Zhang Tao drove seriously. The road was too chaotic, so he didn't dare to drive fast. The speed was comparable to jogging.

When they got on the national highway and turned into the road in the city, the road was wide and it was much easier to drive. When they returned to the hotel, they found Wu Changxin waiting for them at the back door and quickly opened the door for them.

"Brother! Are you okay?"

"It's okay, don't worry. How did you get the key?"

Wu Changxin breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I asked Sister Wu for it and will return it to her later." He asked again, "Brother, are you hungry? I left some food for you."

"One thing, let's go upstairs." Seeing that Wu Changxin was tired, Yu Heng said worriedly, "You don't have to go downstairs. Look how tired you are climbing the stairs now." Zhang Tao had already gone over to help him. Wu Changxin felt embarrassed and wanted to refuse.

"Let me help you, otherwise what if you fall?"

"Yes, let your brother Zhang help you, you should be careful with your feet."

When they came to the fourth floor, Yu Heng took the key to return it and let them go up first.

"It's good that you're back. Your sister is very anxious." Wu Chunyan was very happy to see him and wanted to find out the situation outside: "What's going on outside?"

"It's terrible. Fortunately, we came here in advance. Otherwise, if we went out this morning, the family might have encountered this flood." Thinking of this, Yu Heng also felt fortunate.

"Yes." Wu Chunyan also felt lucky.

Yu Heng returned to the eleventh floor and ate lunch and dinner together.

"Did I catch a cold in the rain? Why do I feel a little cold?" Yu Heng rubbed his hands suspiciously, and felt a bunch of goose bumps on his arms.

"I feel cold too." Zhang Tao said.

This is not right.

Yu Heng put down his chopsticks and took out the thermometer from his luggage.

"... 19 degrees?" Zhang Tao was stunned, "I remember it was 29 degrees yesterday?"

This sudden drop of 10 degrees Celsius was a bit scary.

Yu Heng took out his thick clothes and put on a sweater. Zhang Tao didn't have thick clothes, so he took Yu Heng's clothes to wear.

At night, it was even colder. Yu Heng took a look and found that it was 10 degrees Celsius. Judging from the situation, it might drop to zero degrees Celsius in the second half of the night.

"This is unscientific." Zhang Tao shivered while wrapped in the quilt. "Even if I'm not good at studying, I know spring, summer, autumn and winter! The temperature dropped so much in an instant, directly from summer to winter?"

"Has there been winter in the past two years?" Yu Heng asked back.

"Yes!"

Wu Changxin in the room laughed. She was covered with two quilts, and the mattress was soft and comfortable. She almost fell asleep, but woke up with a smile after listening to the conversation between the two.

Zhang Tao buried his head in the pillow.

"What is coming will come. We have a place to live now, enough food for the time being, and warm clothes. We are already very lucky." Yu Heng said, "Wait until Changxin gives birth to the child, and then take good care of the child. No matter how difficult it is, life must go on."

Zhang Tao nodded and said he planned to go find some firewood tomorrow. After the gas ran out, they began to use the most primitive firewood to cook food, but at that time it was dry and dry, so it was quite convenient to find dry branches. Now they have to dry them again after finding them.

Yu Heng said: "I can't use it now. I don't know when the rain will stop. It won't be used if it doesn't dry in the sun."

This is a big problem.

He had just looked at the firewood outside the door, and there wasn't much left. He had stored a lot of firewood at home before, but it had been raining for almost half a month, and it was consumed quickly without replenishment. Fortunately, I borrowed a truck yesterday and was able to transport the remaining firewood. But it looks like it won’t last more than a few days.

When the weather is so cold, you must eat hot food so that your body will not collapse.

He thought of Wu Chunyan and the others downstairs. He did smell the aroma of hot food, but not smoke. They must have had a gas stove.

"I'll go down and ask tomorrow. It would be better if I could change it."

When I got up the next day, my breath was filled with white mist, and there was frost outside the window.

When they reached the fourth floor, Wu Chunyan and four others were drinking porridge.

"What's the matter?" Wu Chunyan put down the bowl.

"I would like to ask, do you have a gas tank? Or something else that can be heated."

Wu Chunyan said hesitantly: "Yes, yes, do you need it?"

Yu Heng nodded, "Can you give us some in exchange?"

"We have solid alcohol. If you want it, I can give you an alcohol stove and hot pot. One box costs two hundred yuan, and one box costs two hundred grams. How much do you want?" There is a lot of solid alcohol inventory in the hotel warehouse, which is on the fourth floor. Used by restaurant guests when ordering hot pot.

Yu Heng had never used solid alcohol before, so he asked: "How long can one piece be burned?"

"About forty minutes. You can cook porridge, noodles and water. It's a little difficult to cook rice."

"Okay, how do I change it?"

Wu Chunyan was just about to say, just change it to some rice noodles. A box, a bag of rice or a box of noodles will do. These things were bought at wholesale prices, and there were so many in the warehouse. The temperature has dropped in the past two days, and they even boiled water for bathing. The quantity is large and it doesn’t bother me at all.

Chen Qiao rushed to say: "One box for one bucket of milk powder!"

Yu Heng rubbed his hands, but his heart was alert. How did she know they had milk powder? He put the thirty buckets of milk powder in the bucket and brought it in, so she couldn't see it. But there was an honest smile on his face: "We only have two cans of milk powder, which are for the children. It's hard to change them!"

"Why are there only two cans? I clearly--"

"Chen Qiao!" Wu Chunyan interrupted her, her sharp eyes drifting over. Chen Qiao paused and showed panic, pretending to lift her hair.

The coldness in Yu Heng's eyes became even stronger. He suspected that this woman had entered their room. Looking back, the room was indeed empty for a period of time, which was the time when Chang Xin was waiting for him downstairs yesterday afternoon. In a hotel, it is impossible to have only one key for each room, and there must be a spare key at the front desk.

Wu Chunyan was also angry. She didn't expect that Chen Qiao actually entered the guest's room without permission. You almost said it? How could there be such a stupid person? They came in openly and paid the accommodation fee. In the final analysis, the four of them are just staying here. This hotel does not belong to them!

They can't make the decision if they use a hotel room as a favor to earn some food.

Fortunately, the family listened to the management and asked them to move the kitchen outside to the balcony with a view. This saves their worries and they don't have to worry about them setting fire to blacken the room and burn the carpet.

What are you doing to provoke them? There are two grown men opposite, who look strong and strong. If they want to fall out, can they, three women and one man, stand up to each other?

"Miss Chen, how do you know it's not two cans?" Yu Heng asked with a smile, but his eyes were fixed on Wu Chunyan. She still had such a simple and honest smile, but Wu Chunyan was shocked to realize that this man understood in his heart. Are you looking at yourself to give yourself justice?

"I, I just guessed. How can two cans be enough for a baby? You must have more than two cans." Wu Chunyan rubbed her forehead and said, "Mr. Wu, look at this. Two boxes of solid alcohol can be exchanged for one bag of rice." , how about it? The alcohol stove and hot pot are also delivered as promised. "

"Is one not enough?" Yu Heng frowned: "Three, three stoves and three pots. By the way, our family doesn't have enough bowls and chopsticks, can you give some as well?"

These are small things, and there are plenty of restaurants with dishes and chopsticks. Even if Yu Heng came to ask for it, Wu Chunyan would give it away for free. She was very annoyed just to send it out on this occasion.

Can't say no yet.

"Okay, Guohui, go move the things. Xiaoyan, take Mr. Wu to the kitchen to get the dishes."

Yu Heng smiled: "Okay, thank you."
