I didn't feel it for the first two days, but when I woke up today, I found the water was already up to my feet.
Zheng Wan stood by the window and looked out. All she could see was water, and she couldn't even see the tower next to her anymore.
Upstairs, Cheng Zhi and Xiao Feiran were in the same position, standing quietly by the window watching.
Cheng Zhi took a deep breath and said, "It seems like we're the only ones left in the whole world."
These words seemed to have struck a chord with Xiao Feiran, who suddenly slapped her hand. "I just remembered something we forgot! We were supposed to have Xiao Zhi do a fortune telling!"
Cheng Zhi recalled that there did seem to be such a thing.
Now that we've come this far, let's get it done quickly.
They entered the space and then asked Xiao Zhi to call Zheng Wan and Huang Yiyi from downstairs.
The five people sat in the living room, looking at Xiaozhi but not knowing what to ask.
Huang Yiyi does have a question she wants to ask, but it doesn't seem to be related to divination.
Xiao Zhi, standing in front of the coffee table, said, "Master, just ask me anything. As long as it's within my authority, I can answer you."
Since that's the case, Huang Yiyi asked, "Xiaozhi, I want to know, after all that has happened, how many people are left in this world?"
Xiao Zhi paused for a moment before replying, "The data is updated every hour, currently around 200 million, and the number is expected to continue to decline."
The numbers were staggering. They dared not panic and remained silent, unsure whether they were afraid or mourning the deceased.
After a long silence, Cheng Zhi spoke up, "Xiao Zhi, I want to do a divination. I want to know if we have any chance of surviving and dying of old age."
Upon hearing this, Ash immediately began to perform divination.
After a short while, it said, "I saw the warriors covered in wounds. They overcame all difficulties and dangers and finally got the flag on the mountain. They fulfilled their life's wish and their souls found peace."
Every divination is so difficult to understand; after hearing this, no one is quite sure whether it's good or bad.
While Cheng Zhi was still pondering the meaning of those words, Chen Siyu continued, "Xiao Zhi, I want to ask my little sister how many children she will have when she grows up and gets married."
After Xiao Zhi performed the divination, he said, "Love doesn't just blossom and bear fruit. This flower is beautiful, remaining vibrant and enviable throughout its life, and that's enough."
This one is easier to understand than the previous one.
Chen Siyu's eyes were red. She said to her roommates, whose faces were full of sorrow, "Did you hear that? My little sister will get married! She will have a relationship that everyone envies. This means she will live on, and we can live on too!"
Everyone felt a little better, but the thought of the endless water outside still gave them a headache.
Yesterday or the day before, they asked Xiaozhi, and Xiaozhi said that the water would not recede within two years.
Two years! Are we going to be stuck here for two whole years?!
Cheng Zhi wanted to learn how to drive a boat, but Xiao Zhi stopped her, saying, "First of all, it's very expensive, and secondly, the probability of capsizing is very high. You only have one life, so please take care!"
After asking all those questions, they went home.
The three people on the 25th floor remained silent until Cheng Ye's arrival broke the silence.
He found a large piece of red cloth from somewhere. "Should we draw an SOS?"
It was clear that Cheng Ye was flustered. Cheng Zhi beckoned to him, signaling him to sit down and calm down.
But Cheng Ye refused to sit down. He pointed outside and said, "Sisters, the floodwaters are up to the 22nd floor! The 22nd floor is 66 meters high!"
Cheng Zhi stood up and pressed him down, "The water level is about here; it won't go any higher."
Although Cheng Ye didn't know why Cheng Zhi was so certain, she calmed down a little.
But the next second he started to get anxious again, "Why are you all so downcast? If you're all anxious, are we doomed?"
This flood is so severe that it won't recede for two years. After thinking it over, Cheng Zhi decided to tell Cheng Ye directly.
Cheng Ye was stunned after hearing this.
Just as his older sisters were trying to comfort him, he miraculously came back to life.
Cheng Ye waved the red cloth in his hand, "Then we can't just sit here and wait to die. We can't fly planes and ships, but at least we can call for help."
Cheng Zhi patted Cheng Ye's head. "We'll work through this with you. Don't be anxious. You can live a good life, I promise you."
The four of them got to work, setting up markers, string lights, and everything else before hanging the bed sheet outside.
Xiao Feiran bowed to the bed sheet, and Chen Siyu, who was next to him, also made the sign of the cross on her chest.
"When did you develop your faith?" Cheng Zhi asked.
Xiao Feiran shook her head. "It wasn't possible before, but it might be in the future. I'll trust whoever can save me."
Cheng Zhi pointed to herself, "What if I had saved you?"
Chen Siyu thought for a while, "If you can save us, I can consider making a clay statue for you, and I'll worship you every morning when I wake up."
Cheng Zhi: "..."
Who would want something like that!
Over the next few days, the outside world was calm and peaceful. Thanks to their hard work, the warehouse in the space was about to burst.
After some thought, the group decided to buy a dual-mode giant rubber duck boat.
Considering there were so many people, they set up a place that could seat 10 people.
The next second, a third of the items in the warehouse were gone.
