Chapter 44 Beaver City 9
The middle-aged man outside who recorded the residents’ situation last time was Li Youcai.
He is also a tenant on this floor. Because of his relationship with the street office, he naturally became the person in charge of this building.
The daily routine is to coordinate between the various floors and relocate flooded tenants to rooms upstairs.
He had already looked for Fu Anan once, just for this matter.
The purpose this time is still the same.
Looking at Fu Anan at the door, he said with a smile,
"An An, here's the thing. There's really no room left in the corridors and hallways. You and your brother are the only two people in your room, so why not take Da Liu and his family in? We're all neighbors upstairs and downstairs, so give us a hand."
Fu Anan glanced at the young man and woman next to the man, then shook her head.
"Uncle Li, my brother said he won't accept outsiders. Don't you live in a 100-square-meter house on the seventh floor? Make room for them."
It's not that she doesn't want to help, she's just afraid of letting a wolf into the house.
What's more, going up from the fourth floor, there were not many people accepting the residents of the floors below, so he just held her.
Li Youcai always likes to be generous to others. He lives on the seventh floor and has never even taken out a bottle of mineral water.
Fu Anan said softly, blocking the man's words back.
It’s not like you can’t sleep in the stairwells and corridors.
After saying that, Fu Anan closed the door. Then she thought it was not safe, so she inserted the key into the keyhole and turned it around.
Beaver City Day 14; Heavy Rain Day 11
The heavy rain continued and half of the third floor was flooded.
Fu Anan's cell phone was out of battery, completely cutting off her source of information from the outside world.
However, the government news had not been updated a day ago. The last message released was asking the residents of Beaver City to prepare enough food and try to save themselves.
More and more people were moving upstairs, and people and their belongings were all piled up in the corridor, so crowded that there was almost no room to step.
Bang, bang, bang—
There was another knock on the door.
Fu Anan didn't open the door, but lifted the blocked peephole to look outside.
A child, held by an adult, waved at her through the peephole.
Fu Anan pursed her lips slightly, and her fingers touched the door handle back and forth repeatedly, her mind struggling between opening the door and not opening the door.
Fu Anan looked at the adult behind the child and finally did not open the door.
I covered the peephole again and checked the door lock.
There was a sound of a door opening next to me.
The neighbor softened his heart and welcomed the child and his family in.
Fu Anan sat back by the window, looking at the water level rising higher and higher, wondering if the flood would submerge the sixth floor.
Is Beaver City really going to turn into the sea?
In addition to leaves and garbage, two bloated corpses also floated on the turbid water.
No one knew where it came from, but the corpse undoubtedly cast a shadow on people's hearts.
night
There were lightning, thunder, wind and rain, and the storm was coming again.
Fu Anan fell asleep listening to the sound of heavy rain, when suddenly she heard a shrill scream.
The sound was sharp and short, waking Fu Anan from her sleep.
Listening carefully, apart from the thunder and the sound of wind and rain, the corridor and next door were very quiet, as if it was an illusion.
But Fu Anan's heart was beating very fast and she was completely unable to sleep.
It was not until the morning that Fu Anan fell into a deep sleep, and was then awakened by the faint noises at the door.
The door lock was turning and someone outside was using a key to open the door.
Of course they couldn't open it because Fu Anan had blocked the lock with a key from the inside.
After opening the peephole, Fu Anan saw Li Youcai, and several residents from the lower floors gathered around him.
"What are you doing?"
