Chapter 36 Lou Yuncheng

"Ah? What?" The people around who were fascinated by the spectacle looked at Shu Fu with some displeasure.

It was too noisy outside, with the sound of wind and rain, and a lot of chatter inside. The people standing far away couldn't hear what Shu Fu said.

Although Zheng Feifei didn't know what the danger was, at this moment, Shu Fu's solemn expression made her suddenly and inexplicably remember that noon in the company a few months ago, when she almost rushed out of the building and was hit by falling objects from the high school.

She immediately picked up the work badge hanging around her neck, which had a fluorescent whistle on it. This is a piece of equipment that every property staff and neighborhood committee staff member who distributes supplies has. They will blow this whistle whenever they ask everyone to queue up in discipline, or when something sudden happens and they need to focus other people's attention.

Zheng Feifei blew the whistle hard, making a very harsh sound. Now everyone heard it. They stopped sighing and chatting and turned to look at Zheng Feifei.

"Danger! Don't go near the window, get away!" Zheng Feifei shouted loudly. As she shouted, she subconsciously looked for her mother in the crowd.

Shu Fu pulled her and planned to take everyone back to the corridor at the back, away from the window.

Everyone else's attention was on Zheng Feifei at this time. They didn't notice Shu Fu beside her, nor did they notice the sudden whirlwind outside.

But Shu Fu noticed it. She paused and stopped running towards the corridor entrance. She quickly pulled Zheng Feifei back to the wall on the other side of the corridor. Then she pulled up the hood of her jacket, squatted with her head in her arms, and said, "Hurry up and squat! Protect your head and face!"

Zheng Feifei only had time to repeat Shu Fu's words loudly before everyone heard loud bangs coming from the open space outside, as if something large and heavy had fallen from a high altitude and then scattered due to the force of the fall.

This rain of fish is the work of a waterspout!

The air pressure has been unstable due to the sudden changes in temperature over the past two days. When the wind speed in an open water area becomes strong enough, a special tornado will form - a waterspout!

In addition to the large area of ​​water outside the high wall on the east side, the wide Yun River is not far to the west of the hills where the Jixing community is located. It can be said that the surrounding area is completely surrounded by large areas of water.

A large number of fish are sucked into the waterspout and then carried far away and thrown away, forming a fish rain.

If fish can be sucked in, then building debris or even small boats floating in the water could also be sucked in.

The fish that fall to the ground will not cause much damage, but the same is true for the wreckage of buildings and ships.

Shu Fu didn't expect to be so unlucky. Judging from the sounds, the number of heavy objects that fell to the ground was no less than the rain of fish just now. The scattered objects hit the stainless steel guardrail, making crisp collision sounds.

There were also several heavy objects that seemed to be thrown from a distance by some force. They did not fall vertically to the ground, but instead hit the guardrail directly.

Along with the creaking sound of metal at the moment of impact, the building seemed to make a dull shaking sound. Everyone only felt that the glass in front of them suddenly shattered with a bang, and the next second it exploded due to the force of the foreign object hitting the protective net.

Countless broken glass flew towards the people in the corridor, and many people felt the pain before they even had time to react. At that moment, the glass windows in the corridor were almost shattered in half.

Almost everyone standing near the window had their skin pierced by broken glass, especially their exposed faces, necks and hands.

Those who were standing a little further away were scratched by the sharp glass. Only those who were affected by Zheng Feifei's whistle and anxious shouting and subconsciously retreated to the crowd leaning against the wall were lucky enough to escape the disaster.

Zheng Feifei closed her eyes and hugged her head, feeling her whole body being tightly embraced by Shu Fu's outstretched hands.

After hearing wailing all around her, she opened her eyes tremblingly, only then realizing that she had luckily escaped another disaster.

"Fei Fei!" A middle-aged woman's voice came from the side. She was Zheng Feifei's mother. Although she didn't know why her daughter suddenly shouted, she also subconsciously chose to step back at that moment. At this moment, only the back of her hand was scratched by broken glass and she suffered minor injuries.

She ran over with her hands covered, and Zheng Feifei slowly let go of her worries.

Around them, people who were stabbed by broken glass reacted belatedly. The severe pain made them wail, and even the air was filled with the smell of blood.

At Shu Fu's reminder, Zheng Feifei shouted again, asking everyone to leave the corridor as soon as possible and hide in the corridor behind the elevator room. There was no glass window there to prevent accidents from happening again and causing more injuries.

After she shouted, she immediately took the lead with Shu Fu and her mother, stepping over the broken glass on the ground and leaving the aisle.

Although Zheng Feifei's mother was only scratched on the back of her hand, the cut made by the sharp edge of the glass was very large, and blood was dripping down.

She was anxious, and remembering that there was a medicine box at home, she prepared to rush back to Building No. 4 to treat her mother's wound first.

Before leaving, Zheng Feifei turned around and hugged Shu Fu again: "I knew you were my lucky star! I'll take my mom back first, and I'll chat with you on WeChat later!"

"Yeah." Shu Fu was calling the rescue team. Hearing this, he nodded at her and touched the bracelet on his left hand calmly.

She and Zheng Feifei were not lucky. At the moment the glass exploded, she also activated the "drift bottle portable protective shield" at the same time.

Others couldn't see the shield, and she couldn't see it either, but she could feel an extremely thin protective shield suddenly open up, wrapping around her and Zheng Feifei who was surrounded by her arms.

This protective shield was just like the icon on the bracelet, completely covering her from head to toe in 360 degrees.

She could sense that this portable protective shield did not reduce the presence of the people inside infinitely like the raft protective shield did, but the presence of this protective shield itself was close to zero, making it unaware.

She could also sense the impact on the shield, and several pieces of broken glass that hit the shield fell to the ground silently. The physical defense effect was first-class.

Long press the icon to open the protective shield, and long press the icon again to close the protective shield.

The rescue team's phone was busy, as was the hospital. She called for ten minutes and finally got through to the rescue team.

Except for a few people who were seriously injured, the people in the corridor did not dare to move. The rest, whether injured or not, were helped and moved to the safe elevator area.

When they came over, Shu Fu took a few steps and hid in the stairwell.

She had no injuries on her body now, and she had just given a warning. Although not many people could hear her shouting, she still adhered to the principle of being cautious and low-key. After making the rescue call, clearly stating the request for help and the situation on the scene, she left directly from the stairwell.

**

Ten minutes later, Shu Fu, who was panting like a dog after climbing 19 floors, felt that he didn't need to exercise anymore. He could go up and down the stairs two or three times a day and soon he would become a god.

Outside the window of the rental house, the wind was howling, but fortunately the windows upstairs were all double-layered tempered glass and were intact.

She went into the house, closed the door, locked it, changed her shoes, and ran to the balcony of the living room to check the situation outside. It was too dark, and the heavy rain reduced visibility. The dam was very far away, so she could not see the situation in the water outside the dam clearly, and she did not know if there was still a waterspout raging in that area of ​​water.

The disaster information on the mobile phone updated the waterspout-related notifications in real time, indicating that this extreme weather is coming to an end, but the strong winds and heavy rains are still continuing. Now the glass windows on the high floors have been reinforced, so it is not yet time for emergency evacuation. The public is only notified not to go out and block and stay away from unstable doors and windows.

She sighed softly, drew the curtains, and released her drifting island home.

She anxiously checked the countdown of the "Drift Bottle Portable Protective Shield" on the function screen. She had only used the shield for a dozen seconds before it was turned off. She hoped that it wouldn't be so disappointing that turning it on and off would consume the entire shield.

Fortunately, the screen clearly showed——

[The portable protective shield of the drifting bottle has been equipped (00:59:41). This is a limited-time experience function. During the limited time, you can turn on the portable protective shield by long pressing the "shield" icon. 】

The usage time can indeed be paused and restarted!

When she saw the paused time bar and the defensive capabilities of the shield just now, she understood why this golden second prize had only a short usage time of one hour.

In the situation just now, it only took more than ten seconds to block all external damage for her! At this critical moment, the function of providing her with a protective shield can be activated silently at any time. It is simply against the will of heaven!

Her little raft and little drifting island house really were her only true loves!

Shu Fu was very curious about this portable protective shield at the moment, because what happened just now only showed its ability to resist pure physical damage. She wanted to explore this function more, and many wild ideas popped up in her mind.

For example, when she fell from a height, fell into deep water, encountered a fire, was struck by lightning, or when a building collapsed due to an earthquake... For a moment, Shu Fu imagined various disaster scenes.

But how unlucky she must be to experience all these disasters!

Moreover, most of these disasters cannot be attempted lightly. If the protective shield doesn't work, she will die...

Shu Fu rubbed his forehead, activated the bracelet and took out a black mini notebook.

[Complete the task of checking in at Jixing Community and renting a house, and get a 10% progress bar for level 3 raft; get an additional 10% progress bar bonus; get a turntable lottery: 2 times. (Current progress of level 3 raft: 45%)]

She didn't expect that the extra progress bar reward this time would be 10%. After all, the bracelet vibrated to indicate that the task was completed before the unexpected disaster happened.

According to the inertia of logical thinking, it seems that I should have received the notification of completing the task after the disaster just happened, and this 10% additional progress bar bonus would seem to be a natural thing.

Is this because she is certain that she will save Zheng Feifei in the critical moment, or is it that the accident just now would not endanger Zheng Feifei's life?

The idea of ​​exploration only lingered in her mind for a moment and then disappeared. There were many things that she could not understand at the moment.

Shu Fu put away the notebook and took out the turntable.

Before clicking the lottery button, she prayed inwardly. She had won two good things in the last four draws, and she hoped that the god of fate would still favor her this time.

Green fourth prize: one-week electricity card.

Blue fifth prize: raft fence × 1

After receiving the raft fence, it will automatically take effect on the raft. It takes effect at the rear end of the raft, standing at the edge, more than one meter high, slightly higher than the fences on both sides of the eaves of the front and rear doors. It is also made of logs and looks very solid and sturdy.

But the problem was that because only one fence was drawn, the rear end of the raft was only half blocked at the moment.

The raft is not actually very wide, only two meters, but the fence is not even that wide, only one meter wide. Now it stands there like a half-finished project...

Shu Fu: ...

The non-African moment needs no explanation.

She sighed and put the green one-week electricity card into her space, comforting herself that at least she got an electricity card that was valid for a week, but her mood was still average.

Sure enough, it is easy to go from frugality to extravagance but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. Ever since she won the second prize of blue, the third prize of green and the second prize of gold, her originally simple and low-key heart began to become impetuous.

She patted her face and decided to take a shower to wake herself up. As for dinner, she planned to eat the stir-fried vegetables she had just bought today.

Most stir-fried dishes are spicy, which can continue to stimulate her mind and taste buds, keeping her awake.

She thought about it and finally made a difficult decision, that is, to order the beef with golden needles, fish head with chopped peppers, mapo tofu and dry pot cauliflower!

She wants to wake herself up with the spicy heat!

**

At eight o'clock the next day, Shu Fu turned on the faucet in the bathroom of the rental house and started pouring water into the large folding bathtub using the water pipe she had connected herself.

In addition to storing domestic water, she will also use this foldable bathtub to do an experiment later.

She was tired from the whole day yesterday and went to bed early, but she didn't sleep well. At first, the wind outside was scary. Even though she was inside the house on the drifting island, she could hear the banging of the window frames being blown by the strong wind, and the occasional collision of heavy objects coming from somewhere outside.

This building is located on a hill and is the tallest building in the vicinity. The branches broken by the strong wind, the shop signs blown down, and the metal fragments of the building wreckage scattered everywhere hit the building again and again because of the strong wind.

Shu Fu could even clearly feel several times that the building was shaking in the howling wind, and it felt like the branches that were bent by the wind and could break at any time.

She even wondered, if the building really couldn't hold up, should she immediately activate the raft's drifting bottle protective shield, or quickly fold the raft and activate the portable protective shield on the bracelet?

Fortunately, the building just shook and eventually survived the strong wind.

When the wind died down a little, it was already past midnight. The sound of rain outside was rising and falling, mixed with the sound of an ambulance. These noises continued until dawn.

When Shu Fu was half asleep, she felt her cell phone vibrating again and again. She subconsciously waved her hand, and the phone fell from the bed to the floor next to her. The vibration sound suddenly became several times louder.

She fumbled and reached out to turn off the phone, but not long after, the phone started vibrating again, like a corpse, and buzzing many times, like a fly.

After she got up, she found that the call was from Cheng Yu, and some of the messages were sent by Cheng Yu and some were sent by Zheng Feifei.

Both of them sent messages very early, before seven o'clock.

Zheng Feifei first sent her some flattering compliments, saying that she was smart and handsome last night, especially when he stretched out his arms to protect her. She didn’t react yesterday, but when she thought about it today, she felt her heart still pounding.

The subsequent news was related to the residents of the two buildings, because the people in Building 3 and Building 4 believed that they should thank Zheng Feifei for this incident, because it was because she blew the whistle in time and warned everyone loudly that some people were lucky enough to be slightly injured or even not injured. The person with the most serious injury is now fine because he was sent to the hospital in time.

Many people who were lying in front of the window last night recalled today that if it weren't for Zheng Feifei, given their standing position and the distance from the glass, they would have either been disfigured or had their throats cut. They would never have been as lucky as they are now.

In addition, Zheng Feifei was originally from the property management staff, everyone knew her, and they also felt that she had done her job very conscientiously last night, so they all suggested to the property management and the neighborhood committee that they should try to get her some reward or something.

The property management department then found her and asked her if she needed anything and she could go get it herself. After all, these days, nothing is as useful as tangible supplies.

Zheng Feifei felt that the credit should not belong to her but to Shu Fu, so before she replied to the other party, she first found Shu Fu and asked her what kind of reward she wanted. She would explain it to the property management and neighborhood committee.

Shu Fu replied immediately after seeing the message, saying that she didn't want to stand out, after all, she lived alone, was afraid of trouble and didn't want to socialize. And Zheng Feifei did make a great contribution last night, if she hadn't blown the whistle, it would be useless no matter how loud Shu Fu shouted, so she let her take the award in peace.

Zheng Feifei was probably holding her phone. Almost as soon as she finished sending the message, she made a voice call. She started with a bunch of flattery and then said that it was okay if she didn't want to show up. She could tell her what she needed and she would get it and send it to her.

Shu Fu spent more than an hour organizing the space before going to bed last night, and finally managed to free up three or four cubic meters of space. She was not short of supplies at all, so why would she ask Zheng Feifei for a reward?

"You really don't have to give it to me. Actually, I'm a native of Louyun City and have relatives here. They are all very kind to me and take good care of me. It's just that I don't want to trouble them to live in their home."

This is half true and half false. "Shu Fu" does have relatives in Suicheng, but those relatives are not very useful, otherwise "Shu Fu" would not have sold his parents' house and taken all his assets to Suicheng where the university is located.

"So you are from Louyun City. I never heard you say that before." Zheng Feifei only knew that her parents were gone, so she moved to the city where she studied. Now she realized something after hearing this. "Then your coming to Louyun City this time is not an accident, but a deliberate return to your hometown! In the future, do you plan to live here forever?"

This question is difficult to answer. After all, Shu Fu knows that she has no say and it is her "little cutie" who has the final say.

"I can't say for sure. It depends on the situation. Just like at that time, none of us expected that everyone in Suicheng would evacuate."

And this evacuation is a farewell forever. Suicheng should have almost disappeared under the attack of hurricanes and huge waves...

Suicheng is where Zheng Feifei grew up. She has too many beautiful childhood memories there. Although she had a hard time in the days before leaving and wanted to escape, it is still her hometown.

Now when she heard Shu Fu mention Suicheng, she felt mixed emotions, but in the end, the only thing left was determination.

She had missed many opportunities because of her indecision, but this time it would not happen again.

This time, she would not hesitate or waver. No matter how her parents objected, she would go to Sand City!

"Shacheng?" Shu Fu was a little surprised. As early as when she was in Suicheng, she and Zheng Feifei had mentioned Shacheng, just like she, Zhang Tian and the other three, as well as Yao Ruoyun and Lu Zheng, had mentioned it as many times as they could within their scope.

But at that time, Zheng Feifei's reaction was no different from Zhang Tian, ​​Yao Ruoyun and the others. Even during the mass evacuation, everyone thought that this was just a temporary refuge, and they would be able to go home after a few days, when the rain stopped and the water receded.

So, why go to Sand City? Giving up the city where I have lived for many years, giving up my job and friends here, and moving my family to a distant plateau city is a fantasy.

But now, it's different.

"Well, I think Louyun City is still not safe enough. Did you see the doomsday video on the Internet? You should have lost it on the Internet now." Zheng Feifei had settled down in Louyun City by then. Not only did she see the video, she also saved it on her mobile phone.

At this point, she opened WeChat and sent the video to Shu Fu, and told her to save it quickly: "The person who edited and posted this post is right. Neither Muzhou Province, where Louyun City is located, nor Xiren Province and Xiangzhou Province are safe enough. Sooner or later, the water level will overflow the dam and swallow up all the cities here. Only by going to a plateau city with an altitude of more than 3,000 meters can we be truly safe once and for all. There are not many people there now, and the sooner we go there, the more survival advantages we will have."

That happened more than a month ago, and the video has since disappeared from the internet.

Shu Fu knew about this, and also knew that because of this incident, the people were divided into two positions: migrating westward and staying there, which gave rise to traffic bans and city entry passes.

Zheng Feifei obviously believes in the end of the world, but now it is not so easy to go to Sand City.

"Shu Fu, I don't want to hesitate anymore and be pushed by fate passively. I want to take my parents to Sand City. What about you? Your parents are gone. Do you want to go with me?"
