The rain was getting heavier and heavier, but the thunder stopped.

In the intervals between the sounds of rain, faint cries of grief could be heard from all directions.

The screen of Lu Nange's mobile phone kept flashing, and the message notification tone of the industry group kept beeping.

The screen is full of accusations and insults against the property.

Lu Nange took a quick look and found that the third floor was flooded!

I opened the curtains and looked out. I saw turbid waves surging and the street was already a vast ocean.

Many rescue boats came and went in the turbulent water.

Lu Nange took out a telescope from his system backpack and found various packaging bags and sundries floating on the water.

Many people in the community were standing on high places, holding long poles, net bags and other tools, eagerly salvaging food floating in the water.

Lu Nange lay on the sofa, the light from her mobile phone screen illuminating her numb face.

She mechanically slid the screen, switching between news pages from different cities. However, every push notification was exactly the same, all emergency reports about heavy rain.

Mud and rock flow, landslides, and coastal areas were flooded, and the panic of water and power outages spread to every street and lane.

Looking around, there were signs everywhere that called for help, but the scale of the disaster was too huge.

People tried their best to protect themselves and their families in the raging floods and collapsed ruins.

Everyone was busy with their own affairs and was unable to lend a helping hand.

The entire world seemed to be shrouded in the shadow of doomsday, so depressing that it made people breathless.

Lu Nange knew that this was just the beginning!

When one has enough food and clothing, he will know what honor and disgrace are.

When food becomes scarce and survival becomes despair, the fragility and darkness of human nature may be infinitely magnified.

Live on and become a root!

Official appeals have never ceased: "Disasters are ruthless, but people are kind. Only by unity can we resist disasters."

Those firm words flickered and jumped on the screen.

There are still many people who firmly believe that after the rainstorm, the sun will eventually penetrate the haze, the city will regain its vitality, and order will be restored.

In the slightly dim living room, the light of the mobile phone screen went out, followed by a soft sigh.

She is just an ordinary person. It’s good enough that she can survive with A Ye!

Let's leave the task of saving the world to the Kakuzu Group!

***

The second day when all water, electricity and gas were cut off.

Lu Nange glanced at his phone. It was 3 a.m. and the screen showed a no service sign. The network was completely paralyzed.

She opened the cast aluminum armored door, found a ribbon, and tied it up through the gaps in the stainless steel door.

After tying it up, he closed the cast aluminum armored door and pulled it out along the gap above the door.

She walked across the corridor, tied the ribbon around her front door, and fastened a bell to it.

In this way, as long as the stainless steel door shakes, the bell on the door will ring, and she can find it at the first time in the room.

After finishing the arrangement, Lu Nange went to the rooftop.

I opened the lock of the rooftop, reached out and pushed it. As the iron door slowly opened with a creaky sound, a heart-wrenching cry instantly penetrated my ears.

"You damned bastard, you're my neighbor, you sneaked into my house. How can I live like this?"

Lu Nange put on the hood of his raincoat, glanced at the large barrel full of rainwater on the rooftop, and put it all into the system backpack.

He brought out another batch of things, filled the table, then turned around and closed the iron door, blocking out the crying and shouting.

There is one household per floor, and there are no more than eleven households in the entire floor, but crime has begun to spread like wildfire.

She had to go out earlier in the evening and use up all her accumulated sign-ins.

In a day or two, people who have lost their minds due to hunger and greed might target them at any time.

By then, she will have to be with Lu Beiye all the time.

Downstairs, after the third floor was flooded, a family started knocking on doors from the fourth floor.

The residents on the 1st and 6th floors closed their doors and directly refused the other party's request to enter.

Father Zhang looked at his family, exchanged glances with his son, and took Zhang Qi, his daughter-in-law, and his grandson to pry open the door to the seventh floor and move in.

However, the seventh floor had only undergone basic fine decoration, and the house was empty without any daily necessities.

Hunger soon set in, and they had no choice but to go out again, knocking on doors from house to house to borrow food.

But when they knocked on the ninth floor, the door was still closed and no one opened it.

The curses in the upper floor were even quite harsh.

The two men gave up the idea and went straight to the seventh floor. That night, the few remaining food on the seventh floor was completely eaten up.

***

Three o'clock in the morning, when I feel the most sleepy.

Lu Nange closed the door.

After a while, the bedroom door was quietly opened with a slight creaking sound.

Lu Kitano stood in front of the living room window and looked out through the glass. It was pitch black outside and he couldn't see his hand in sight.

He looked at the medicine on the shelf in the corner in the dim night light.

His eyes were a little dull, as if he was lost in thought.

Then he walked quickly to the toilet, reached out to pick up the cold water in the corner, and poured it on himself without hesitation.

The icy cold water instantly soaked through clothes, making people shiver.

On the other side, Lu Nange, holding a fruit knife tightly in his right hand, came to the fourth floor quietly.

After confirming that there was no one there, he climbed out of the window swiftly.

Lu Nange was thinking about Lu Beiye who was home alone, and did not dare to delay for a moment.

After leaving the community, I used up the accumulated trips and rowed the speedboat home directly.

Along the way, she clearly felt that more and more people were coming out to look for food at night.
