Wang Xin and his friends had originally planned to find work at daybreak, but unexpectedly a heavy rain in the middle of the night disrupted their plans.
The rain started in the middle of the night, without any warning or gradual progress. It just started pouring heavily.
Wang Xin and his family's house was already dilapidated, and it could still shelter them from some light rain, but the rain tonight was so heavy that the rain flowed in through the damaged areas, and in a blink of an eye, the house became a water curtain cave.
I can't even sleep.
Everyone was awakened by the rain.
Ah Qian looked at the rain falling in the house, not realizing the seriousness of the problem, and was still in the mood to make jokes.
"Looks like we can't work tomorrow." We need to patch up the roof first. Besides, if the rain doesn't stop, not many people will come out.
You will get sick if you get caught in the rain. Medicine in the apocalypse is so precious that not everyone can afford it.
The first person to notice something was wrong was Wang Xin.
"Is the rain... too heavy?" Not long after, a thin layer of water appeared on the floor.
Although the terrain here is low, the speed is too fast.
He suspected that...
"Hurry up and pack up the important things. I doubt this rainstorm will stop for a while." Wang Xin said as he packed his things as quickly as possible.
Everyone knows what the unstoppable rain means.
Goudan was dumbfounded.
"That can't be. Isn't the safe period still over?" It's only been a few days since the good days began. Goudan didn't want to believe Wang Xin's guess, but he didn't say he wanted to stay here, and quickly packed up his things.
If it's really as Brother Wang Xin said, everything they have here will be washed away.
Human beings struggled to survive for ten years in the apocalypse. During these ten years, all kinds of natural disasters befell us. Slowly, the survivors began to vaguely figure out some patterns.
After some natural disasters, there will be a period of relative stability, which people call a safe period.
The length of the safe period is generally predicted by the relevant person in charge of the base.
It is impossible to predict what the next disaster will be, but the approximate date can be predicted.
There hasn't been any notification from the Sun Base recently.
Goudan didn't want to believe it. If the heavy rain really continued, all the firewood they had collected would be flooded and everything they had here would be washed away.
They were very skilled in dealing with natural disasters and packed up their belongings in no time.
But when they were leaving, Xiaocao suddenly remembered the box of instant noodles they had buried, which was their important property.
"Brother Wang Xin, instant noodles."
"It's okay. The plastic is waterproof. Let's just bury it there for now." The bread was soaked tightly, so there was no need to worry about it getting wet. They buried it deep, and with the firewood on top, there was no need to worry about it washing away.
Some people were still a little worried, but since Wang Xin had spoken, they didn't dare to dig it out now.
A group of people took their belongings and ran up the mountain inside the base at night.
One side of the Sun Base is backed by a mountain, and the remaining three sides are surrounded by itself. This is so that in case of heavy rain and flooding of the base, there will be a place to go.
Wang Xin didn't care about the rain anymore. They were afraid that if they waited any longer, the water would be too deep to walk. They had no boat, so the water was too deep and they would have to swim across. If they really had to swim across, they would lose everything they had.
Moreover, it is better to go up the mountain early to grab a good spot.
Wang Xin and his friends originally thought they were fast enough, but they didn't expect that by the time they climbed up, there were already quite a few people on the mountain.
But fortunately, there weren’t many people and there were seats to choose from.
There are many naturally formed caves on the mountain. Later, in order to accommodate more people, the base also sent people up to dig a few more caves.
Anyway, there is room for the people at the Sun Base.
Wang Xin and his friends chose a seat near the inside.
They came early and were able to choose such a good seat, but those who arrived last could only choose the middle of the crowd. There were people on all sides, making it inconvenient to do anything and making it easy for them to be robbed.
Wang Xin and his team have had several experiences.
After finding a good location, they began to decorate their future residence.
With more experience and more skills, I got it done in no time.
After it was done, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Only at this time did they feel sleepy.
"You guys go to sleep first. Goudan and I will keep watch. Aqian will switch with Dongdong later." In the cave, not everyone can sleep soundly. Someone has to stay to keep watch. Otherwise, when you wake up the next day, you will find that everything except you has been stolen.
The others didn't hesitate and hurried to sleep. They were all used to it.
Wang Xin looked at his sleeping companion, then looked at the people who kept crawling into the cave, and sighed.
I'll be busy tomorrow.
Wang Xin secretly touched the five sausages wrapped in clothes. He was thinking of exchanging the sausages for contribution points.
Who knows that the safe period will pass in an instant?
Lin Murong was woken up by the rain in the middle of the night. His bed was next to the window and he didn't close the window last night. When it rained heavily, he was drenched by the rain.
When he woke up, he was stunned. The cold rain poured down on his face, making it difficult for him to open his eyes.
After finally closing the window, I found that my whole body was wet, and the bed was no exception, it was soaked.
Lin Murong sneezed and got goose bumps all over his body.
"Fuck. I'm freezing." Lin Murong was afraid of catching a cold, so he took a shower and changed his clothes.
He wiped his hair with a towel, looked at the rain outside the window that was like a waterfall, and then realized what was happening and cursed.
What do those people in charge of observation at the base do for a living?
After wiping his hair twice, Lin Murong thought of his good brother Chi Yan.
Chi Yan usually wears headphones to listen to music when he sleeps. He estimated that Chi Yan couldn't hear anything in such heavy rain.
Lin Murong put on two layers of clothes, a raincoat, and rushed out.
As a result, the rain was so heavy that the raincoat couldn't withstand it at all, and the shower I had just taken wasted.
Lin Murong fell while wading through the water, and when he arrived at Chi Yan's house, he looked completely disfigured.
When Chi Yan opened the door, he almost didn't recognize him.
"You're actually awake." Lin Murong wiped the water off his face. He thought Chi Yan was still asleep. This person loved to keep fit.
Seeing the wet and dirty Lin Murong, Chi Yan didn't want him to come in. His house was so clean, and Lin Murong would get dirty if he came in.
But thinking that Lin Murong might have become like this just to come and find him, Chi Yan let go of the door handle, moved sideways, and let him in.
"It's flooded outside. I think half of the first floor is flooded." It flooded as soon as he said it. Lin Murong was still a little scared when he said this.
Fortunately, his house is on a high floor, otherwise he wouldn't even have the chance to take a shower.
"Let's hurry up and get to the mountain." It's not certain how long this heavy rain will last, and whether it will flood the tallest house in the base, but the mountain is high and the place least likely to be flooded is the mountain.
"Okay. Go take a shower first." Chi Yan endured it again and again, and finally didn't just grab the dirty Lin Murong and throw him into the bathtub at home and rinse him with the water pipe.
