Chapter 126 Swallowing the World
At night, Shi Jiaojiao looked outside quietly through the window.
The sound of thunder, the rumble of rolling waves, and the howling of strong winds all mixed together to form a soul-stirring and life-threatening song.
The waves were like angry, roaring beasts, hitting the windows again and again.
The huge force seems to swallow everything, which makes people terrified.
In these turbulent waves, countless stones and debris were swept over and hit the glass heavily.
The thumping sound echoed in the small bedroom.
Fortunately, the glass is of high quality and no cracks have appeared so far.
Shi Jiaojiao also felt a little relieved.
However, just as she breathed a sigh of relief, she heard a desperate and shrill cry suddenly amid the roar of the waves.
The crying sound just appeared halfway when it stopped abruptly.
Shi Jiaojiao's heart sank suddenly.
I didn't even dare to imagine the tragedy happening outside.
She couldn't stop the tsunami, nor could she foresee her own end.
At this moment, I could only keep counting the time, but all the noises outside were mixed together and there was still no sign of stopping.
Shi Jiaojiao's whole body was cold, and her fingertips were trembling slightly.
I don’t know how much time passed, maybe ten minutes, maybe half an hour.
Suddenly there was a deafening roar.
Perhaps a tall building could not withstand the impact of the waves and eventually collapsed.
Shi Jiaojiao took a deep breath and exhaled, pinching her palm tightly with her nails.
Is this the power of nature?
The waves outside continued to roll, like a naughty child, trying every possible way to release all his energy.
And every sound of the waves crashing seemed to hit everyone's heart.
Facing death, no one can sleep peacefully.
Everyone is waiting.
Waiting for hope.
Or death.
Shi Jiaojiao was covered with a quilt and curled up on the bed.
She kept chewing her nails.
Anxiety and uneasiness surrounded her.
At this time, there was a noise coming from the upper bunk.
The next second, Shi Jiaojiao felt one of her hands being pulled up, and she felt warmth in her palm.
Mu Ci's low voice came to my ears.
"Do you want to go into the space? The vegetables I planted a while ago should be ready to harvest, and Xiao Hei is probably hungry too."
As soon as the tsunami appeared, Xiao Hei was so scared that he even clung to the ground and refused to move.
Shi Jiaojiao felt sorry for it and didn't want it to suffer, so she simply put it into the space.
After hearing Mu Ci's words, Shi Jiaojiao responded.
She knew that Mu Ci was trying to divert her attention.
The constant sound of waves crashing outside made her feel uneasy, so she decided to go into some quiet time.
The two of them flashed into the space.
There are no dark clouds and lightning, no terrifying tsunamis, and no heart-pounding rumbling noises.
Just after coming in for a while, Xiao Hei seemed to smell something and came running straight down the mountain.
Then he threw himself on Shi Jiaojiao and rolled around acting coquettishly.
Shi Jiaojiao took out food from the warehouse and poured a full basin for Xiao Hei.
Mu Ci was holding a large basket in his hand, which was given to him by an owner of a farmers’ market.
The vegetables are indeed ready for picking.
Tender cucumbers, red tomatoes, lettuce, peppers, leeks, etc.
In addition to these, Shi Jiaojiao also planted some edamame.
She bought some of this stuff at the braised food shop, but not a large quantity.
It’s been so long since the end of the world, they would have been eaten up long ago.
This time I just picked some and braised them.
Xiao Hei didn't eat the rice either, and just followed beside to help.
But after it bit two bean sprouts, Shi Jiaojiao scolded it and drove it aside.
After being scolded, Xiao Hei lay on the ground with a wronged look on his face, covering his head with his two paws.
Shi Jiaojiao was a little amused and helpless, so she put the basket in her hand in front of Xiao Hei.
"Come, help me hold the basket."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Hei stood up instantly, no longer showing the aggrieved look he had just shown.
He grabbed the basket in his mouth and followed Shi Jiaojiao.
Shi Jiaojiao would occasionally praise him, "Xiao Hei is awesome."
Hearing this, Xiao Hei raised his head, stood his tail high, and even circled in front of Mu Ci proudly.
After picking all the beans, Mu Ci saw that there was still time, so he simply braised the freshly picked edamame.
Scrub and wash, put it in the pot, add various marinade ingredients, and finally turn on the fire.
When it’s almost cooked, you can turn off the heat and let it soak and slowly absorb the flavor.
Four hours passed in a flash, and the two were kicked out of the space.
The first second after coming out, Shi Jiaojiao noticed the change.
The sky outside is not so dark anymore.
She quickly ran to the window and looked outside.
Good news, the tsunami has stopped!
The bad news is, it hasn’t stopped completely.
The waves outside were still huge, roaring with strong winds.
But the most dangerous time has passed!
Shi Jiaojiao opened the bedroom door and walked into the living room.
It was just past 6 o'clock in the morning, and Wang Jia and Tang Wei were sitting on the sofa chatting in low voices.
Both of them looked pale, yet they were relieved to have survived the disaster.
Hearing the noise, Wang Jia looked up and said excitedly, "Jiaojiao, the tsunami is over, we all survived!"
Shi Jiaojiao nodded with a smile on her face.
"By the way, I just knocked on your bedroom door, why was there no response?" Wang Jia was a little confused.
Shi Jiaojiao was stunned for a moment.
She and Mu Ci had just come out of the Golden House, so how could they hear the knock on the door?
"My brother and I were asleep and didn't hear it. Was it because you knocked too softly?" Shi Jiaojiao explained without a trace of panic on her face.
Wang Jia didn't even remember how hard she knocked on the door. "Maybe, but you two are in such a good mood. Tang Wei and I couldn't handle it. We were so nervous the whole night that we didn't even dare to close our eyes."
Shi Jiaojiao smiled and didn't say much.
Tang Wei leaned back on the sofa and exhaled, with a hint of trance in his eyes. "This is too scary. Do you think humans are going to become extinct?"
"Who knows? Now we just have to live one day at a time."
The tsunami has passed, and the remaining aftermath is not that powerful.
Tang Wei and Wang Jia were both worried about their families, so they said goodbye and left in a hurry.
Shi Jiaojiao opened the curtains in the living room.
Two more residential buildings collapsed in Tiantai Community.
But now, no one has the mood to feel sorry for others.
After the tsunami, the water level rose to the 10th floor overnight.
Everyone was in a state of panic.
If the price continues to rise like this, they will be doomed even without a tsunami.
Shi Jiaojiao took out two bowls of noodles from the space and had a simple breakfast with Mu Ci.
The tsunami is over, but the disaster is not over yet.
Shi Jiaojiao and Mu Ci put on masks and changed into protective clothing, preparing to open the window to clean up the dirt that was thrown onto the glass by the waves.
It is unknown how many people died in this tsunami, and the number of corpses buried in it is incalculable.
When there are too many corpses, plague will come.
In this case, it is better to drink less water and keep it clean.
The worst thing would be if you accidentally got sick because of dirt.
