Chapter 173 Chapter 173 Flood

There were no twinkling stars in the dark sky as before, only an abyss.

He gazed at the drifting world, but was too stingy to give his people even the slightest response.

Or maybe He had long been tired of the insatiable blood-sucking worms crawling on His body, and this sudden and horrific disaster was His masterpiece.

The howling wind roared like a dragon's roar, and some high-rise windows and security windows were blown away in just a few seconds.

In an instant, lightning flashed and thunder roared.

The "Z"-shaped lightning illuminated the sky, allowing everyone in the government hall to see the huge waves rising in the distance.

The dozens-story buildings looked pitifully small in front of the huge waves, like a castle built of building blocks by a child, which would break at the slightest touch.

The end of the world is just like this.

All the survivors who saw this scene turned pale, felt despair in their hearts, and their bodies stiffened, unable to put up any thought of resistance.

They are like ants in front of tower-like buildings, and are even more like mayflies in front of huge waves that treat tower-like buildings as children's building blocks.

How can a mayfly shake a tree?

It all depends on fate.

Some sensitive people cried out in despair and collapsed on the ground, unable to muster any strength.

He Junxia took a deep breath. He didn't want to rely on fate or accept it. Even if the final result was death, he would die standing.

Boom!

Another huge thunder

In a flash, He Junxia discovered something amiss in the brief daylight brought by the lightning.

——The earth-shaking wave seemed not far away from them, but it seemed to be blocked by an invisible barrier.

He Junxia narrowed her eyes.

Was the huge wave they saw a product of another world?

Because the two worlds have not yet completely merged, the waves are blocked by the world barrier.

He Junxia's body accepted this fact faster than his brain. He breathed a sigh of relief, but couldn't help but worry about the future.

When the two worlds are completely merged, can humans still resist this horrific natural disaster?

He Junxia rubbed his forehead. Overthinking was pointless; solving the problem at hand was the most important thing.

"Brother, Brother Zhang, pack up your things, have everyone put on their life jackets, and get out the boats."

"Click"

Before he could finish his words, the glass in front of the two of them shattered, and a black bone shark was washed into the building by the waves.

They are on the fifteenth floor.

He Juanxia instructed: "Forget it, I'll go. Brother, you stay with Mom and sister-in-law. Be sure to comfort sister-in-law and let her take a deep breath."

Wei Lingyu has high blood sugar, and both times the problem occurred were related to emotional stress, so it is easy for problems to occur.

If a miscarriage occurs at this time, the adult may not survive.

"Bang" "Bang" "Bang"

Glass after glass shattered, like a desperate reminder of the approaching death.

Under He Junxia's command, everyone packed up their things in a busy and orderly manner, discarding most of the unimportant items and leaving only the necessities of life.

“Wow…”

The floodwaters reached the thirteenth floor, forcing everyone to flee to higher ground, but the government building only had fifteen floors.

Only fifteen floors!

The others were surprised to see the boat and life jackets of He Junxia and his group, with a deep desire in their eyes, a desire to survive.

They want to live too.

Even those who are used to using large plastic basins as a means of transportation can't help but come up with new ideas.

A wooden boat was certainly safer than a crudely made plastic tub, not to mention they had life jackets and food and water on board.

It was written in "Guan Zi: Mu Min" that when the granaries are full, people will know etiquette; when they have enough food and clothing, they will know honor and disgrace.

Now that we are facing a great disaster and a life-and-death dilemma, morality has naturally become the first thing to be abandoned.

"Go ahead and grab their stuff, then we can survive."

Someone shouted in the crowd, and a group of people rushed over.

He Junxia clenched the sickle in his hand and shouted, "There are eight boats in the bathroom that can accommodate all of you."

When a large number of people suddenly poured into the government building, he thought of today's situation and specially made a few more boats using the wooden boards, screws and other materials in the building.

Some people stopped.

"Don't listen to him."

"He must be lying to us so he can escape."

Most people still prefer to believe their own eyes, and even if there is a boat in the bathroom, it is not as good as these boats full of supplies in front of them.

He Junxia looked at his companions and said, "Don't hesitate. If they dare to grab it, just chop it down."

If their supplies and ships were stolen, they would most likely die, so everyone held their weapons tightly.

Even if they didn't care about their own life or death, they had to keep these things for their families. But before that, He Junxia still wanted to make another effort.

These people were not the vicious ones he had met before. They usually lived in peace with each other. In the final analysis, they just wanted to survive.

He Junxia rushed forward and knocked down the three people in front.

The sharp sickle cut across the man's neck, leaving a glaring blood mark.

He yelled, "I'll say it again, there's a boat in the toilet. If you want to live, go get the boat out."

"If you still want to do something evil, I can only send you to death first."

He Junxia threw the man onto the others, his sharp sickle dripping with blood.

Looking into his eyes, the people who were charging suddenly stopped. They all knew that they would die if they continued to charge.

At the same time, several people came out of the bathroom carrying a small boat and shouted excitedly: "He didn't lie, there really is a boat in the toilet."

Given a tough nut to crack that could cost you your life, or an ownerless boat, everyone knows which one to choose.

The crowd rushed to the toilet, and a desperate fight was ended invisibly.

Zhang Liqin lowered his raised weapon and breathed a sigh of relief. He smiled and said, "I thought you had nothing better to do than to make so many boats. It turns out you were waiting for today."

"You're really smart, kid. Don't call me Brother Zhang anymore. If we both survive, I'll have to call you Brother Xing."

He Junxia said: "Okay, this is what you said, everyone heard it, you can't cheat."

The tense atmosphere was eased somewhat by the conversation between the two, but the turmoil in the outside world would not stop.

The rapidly rising floodwaters poured into the fifteenth floor, and if they stayed any longer they would only be trapped and killed.

"Let's go."

He Junxia found a direction with less wind and waves and lowered the boat. As soon as the boat entered the water, it began to rise and fall.

If there weren't two strong ropes connected to the other end of the boat, it would have been blown away by the wind and waves in a few seconds.

He Junxia jumped onto the boat first. The cold rain and waves hit his face, blurring his vision.

He and Miao Yuexing went up and down, putting Wei Lingyu and Su Guizhi safely onto the boat, and Miao Yuexing jumped down last.

He Junxia turned to look at the other companions. Most of them had already boarded the boat, but Xuanxuan, the most timid one, did not dare to come down.

She is Aunt Wu's granddaughter and the youngest and most sensitive of her three children.

He Junxia opened her arms and said, "Aunt Wu, please bring Xuanxuan over here. I'll take her. Hurry up, or it will be too late."

Aunt Wu looked at the water that was almost up to her knees, picked up her granddaughter and handed her to He Junxia.

"Brother, hold on to my legs."

He Junxia stood up and stretched out his hand to reach the little girl, but the little girl kept crying and moving her limbs.

"Xuanxuan, don't move. Brother Xiaoxing is saving you." Aunt Wu was a little overwhelmed.

Almost

Just a little bit

He Junxia's five fingers brushed against the little girl's shoes several times, and just at this moment, a wave came over.

The boat moved forward due to inertia. He Junxia stretched out his hand as far as possible again and finally grabbed the little girl's leg.

"I've got a good hold, Aunt Wu, let go."

The little girl was held steadily in He Junxia's arms, and Aunt Wu immediately jumped onto another boat.

The four small boats swayed with the waves, but fortunately there were strong ropes securing the boats to the building, so there was no need to worry about the boats being blown away.

Others were not so lucky.

Although the wooden boat provided by He Junxia provided some guarantee of safety, the boat moved uncontrollably away as soon as it left the government building.

Even if they paddled desperately to move the water on both sides of the boat, it was of no avail. Human power is like a mantis trying to stop a chariot in the face of the mighty power of nature.

Waves came one after another, and soon the government building was in ruins.

The people on the three small boats could only be forced to accept the waves coming head-on and try to get a chance to breathe in the gaps.

But even so, Su Guizhi and Wei Lingyu, who were holding Xuanxuan, were still tightly protected by their son/husband.

He Junxia smiled at them and said, "Mom, sister-in-law, it feels good to experience surfing for free."

Su Guizhi: ...

Su Guizhi laughed and scolded: "It's already this time, and you are still talking nonsense."

Wei Lingyu also laughed.

She was originally very afraid that the flood would submerge the government building, but when the moment finally came, it was actually no big deal.

Surrounded by those she loves and who love her, she has nothing to fear even if death comes.

If there is any regret, it is that I was not able to see my parents before I died and say sorry to them in person.

My daughter is unfilial.
