All I could see in the residents' group chat was a photo—a photo of water flooding into the apartment.

The moment this photo was posted, the homeowners were in an uproar.

"What's going on? Are you sure this picture isn't photoshopped? Our drainage is pretty good, isn't it? How come the water is flooding the apartment building?"

"Zhang San, I must warn you, spreading rumors is illegal."

"The water has flooded into the apartment building; wouldn't the garage be completely submerged?"

As soon as this news was released, all the homeowners were in an uproar.

They must have a car to be able to buy a house here. Where is that car parked? It must be parked in the garage.

Soon, countless homeowners rushed out of their homes and went to the elevator, only to find that it seemed to be malfunctioning. They then checked the group chat and saw the message from the property management.

Because the elevator was soaked by rainwater, it was temporarily shut down to prevent electric shock accidents. It will be reopened once the rainwater has receded.

Left with no other option, the homeowner with the car ran down the stairs.

To their surprise, after struggling to get downstairs, they discovered that the homeowner on the second floor also had a car and had arrived in the underground garage to take photos. They found that the underground garage was already flooded.

Seeing this situation, it goes without saying that their cars were definitely flooded. Fortunately, most of them had car insurance, which minimized the losses in this case.

Tang Xiaohu, who witnessed this scene from home, breathed a sigh of relief. Luckily, he had parked his car outside the previous night, otherwise it would have been flooded long ago.

The only downside is that Tang Xiaohu got soaked to the bone last night.

"Honey, it's a good thing you parked outside because you thought parking spaces were too expensive, otherwise we probably would have lost a lot of money."

Zhao Xiaohua lay naked next to Tang Xiaohu, the two of them completely open with each other. After all, given Tang Xiaohu's status, he could easily skip work if he wanted to.

"Of course, don't you even know who your husband is?"

Tang Xiaohu, with a wicked grin, pounced on Zhao Xiaohua, which elicited a soft moan from her.

"No, my son is still sleeping."

"Don't worry, based on my understanding of that kid, he should still be sleeping at this hour."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Xiaohua focused entirely on the battle, unaware that their room door had silently opened a crack, revealing a greedy eye watching everything inside.

...

"This rain is really nice."

Looking at the scene outside, due to the heavy rain, Hangzhou is now flooded everywhere. In some shallow areas, the water level has even reached two or three meters high, which is simply terrifying.

However, Xiao Chen would not consider helping them because of this. This was a natural disaster, and it was not something Xiao Chen could interfere with. Perhaps he could help them when he broke through to the Nascent Soul stage and could use the power of heaven and earth, but for now, it was better to forget about it.

After checking the situation outside, Xiao Chen took out the spirit stones and began cultivating again. His strength was still too low to protect himself. Although he had the protection of the safe house, Xiao Chen still wanted to become stronger.

Meanwhile, in the Hangzhou Military Region, Regiment Commander Lin, who was planning to go to fight the flood, received the news and his face turned somewhat grim.

Are you sure this is the first piece of news?

All that could be seen standing in front of Commander Lin was a middle-aged man in a suit and tie, who had been sent from the capital to deliver a message.

"Yes, this is a video!"

The messenger took out a tablet, which displayed a video of the leader transmitting a message to him.

"I understand. You can go back now. I'll take my men back to the capital soon."

Although he had some doubts, obeying orders was a soldier's duty, so Commander Lin had no choice but to agree.

After the messenger left the military region, Regiment Commander Lin ordered all the battalion commanders and the two deputy regimental commanders to come to his side.

Before long, the entire Hangzhou Military Region was deserted, and everyone went to the capital.

Of course, apart from Hangzhou, the other major military regions also received orders from the capital and led their troops to the capital, which seemed to foreshadow that something strange was about to happen.

In today's capital city.

"Chief, are we really going to do this?"

In Building No. 1 of the capital, the top officials of the entire Dragon Kingdom gathered here, and said with somewhat grim expressions.

"What else can we do? This heavy rain is expected to last for a whole week, and according to forecasts, the clouds won't dissipate even after the rain stops. Do you know what that means?"

"This means that a completely new ice age is about to begin, and all we can do at this time is to do everything we can to preserve the continuation of human civilization."

The leader's face was full of helplessness, but his tone was resolute.

This was a natural disaster, beyond human intervention. Upon hearing this, the higher-ups below sighed and ordered their families to be brought to the capital. At this time, only the capital could ensure their safety. As for the people of the Dragon Palace, they could only hope that they could hold on.

The leader was filled with sorrow, but he was the leader of the Dragon Kingdom, and only secondarily the leader of the people.

At this time, the people of the Dragon Kingdom, except for those in the capital, were unaware that they had been abandoned. By the time they realized it, it was already too late.

Of course, Xiao Chen didn't know about this, but even if he did, he wouldn't care too much. In any case, even in his previous life, the so-called leader didn't provide them with any help. He only left a few people at the power plant to generate electricity, but they couldn't last long. Soon, under the extreme cold, even the conductive wires were frozen and broken. At that time, except for the capital city, all human civilization would be wiped out.

Soon, the heavy rain continued for another day, until nightfall.

Feeling a bit hungry, Xiao Chen exited his cultivation state and chose to cook a meal for himself.

Upon entering the kitchen, Xiao Chen took out a large steak from his Creation Ring, which he had retrieved from the Longxiang Hotel.

Originally, Xiao Chen didn't have any appliances at home that could cook steak, but he had no choice but to go to the appliance store and bought a lot of appliances. Soon, a luxurious heating machine appeared in front of him.

After being powered on, it started up. Seeing this, Xiao Chen used his spiritual power to carve a pattern on the steak, and then threw it onto the heating machine to cook.

In the meantime, Xiao Chen didn't forget to post a photo in the household head group.

"Sigh, I don't know what to eat tonight, so I'll just have a piece of A5 Wagyu beef."
