Chapter 303 Chapter 303 Behemoth
After comforting the parents of the wisher, He Junxia put down her phone and began to think about the current situation.
He arrived at an inopportune time. The wisher had already sat down in the restaurant with his blind date, so it was not appropriate for him to just leave and slap the girl in the face, which led to him being trapped by the tsunami.
But this is not a bad thing.
The wisher's home is in this city, and it is a self-built house with only three stories high. It is hard to say that it will not be affected by the tsunami.
In comparison, it is safer to stay in a high-rise building.
The only downside was the food and drinking water.
He Junxia sorted and hid the instant noodles, mineral water, bread, etc. brought by the hotel staff. If they were saved, these things would be enough to last for half a month.
This hotel's king-size room didn't have floor-to-ceiling windows facing the coast, so he pushed the door open and walked out, wanting to see what was happening outside.
At this time, the hall was crowded with people. Everyone was still in shock and talking about the tsunami.
"I was scared to death."
"Oh my god, I'm glad I listened to others and didn't take the elevator. The first floor was completely flooded. Going out would have been death."
This is someone who is thankful to have escaped.
"I've lived here for decades and have never seen a tsunami. How could a tsunami suddenly hit us out of nowhere?"
"that is."
"If you don't come, then don't come. If you come, come big."
"What should we do? Will the government send anyone to rescue us?"
This is a worried and anxious person.
"If I had known it was a holiday, I should have stayed home instead of joining in the fun. Now I can't go back."
"It's all your fault for insisting on coming to the beach."
"Yes, yes, it's all my fault. It's like I forced you to come."
This is people blaming each other.
Thousands of people, thousands of different beings, all come together at this moment to form a picture of all beings that have survived the catastrophe.
No, you can’t say you survived a disaster.
Because the tsunami has not ended yet, the entire sea surface is like a pot of hot oil soaked in water. Layer after layer of waves rushes towards the shore with the force of thunder, as if there is no end.
The sun loungers on the beach, the townhouses and the people who were unable to escape in time all became victims of the disaster.
The influx of large amounts of seawater caused urban flooding, and the turbid torrent spread in all directions carrying countless debris.
More and more places were lost.
Near the window, people gradually quieted down, or perhaps they belatedly realized that this was a horrific disaster that could shock the world.
Although they were lucky enough to find a temporary shelter and avoid being swept away by the waves, no one knew where fate would take them next.
——A huge tsunami will inevitably be accompanied by a terrible earthquake, and perhaps high-rise buildings are not a place to stay for long.
“Sizzle…Sizzle…”
The building's electrical system was damaged by the flood, and the light bulbs in the lobby and corridor flickered for a long time before finally going out completely.
The hotel lobby fell into a brief calm, followed by deeper panic and fear.
He Junxia walked out through the hall that was as crowded as a vegetable market and found a hidden window that could be opened outwards.
A plump black bird appeared out of nowhere.
"Yao Ling, I'm counting on you."
“Chirp, chirp, chirp!”
Leave it to me, no problem!
The little fat bird flew into the sky like an arrow through the gap of the opened window. Maybe it could not save all the trapped people, but it cared about every person it saved.
"Hold the rope."
"Save my child first."
"The child is here, don't give up."
Several strangers come together to save a mother and daughter trapped in a flood.
The young child, supported by his mother, had managed to grab a lifeline and escape the flood. However, the mother, left without help, was unable to reach the rope.
Almost
Just a little bit
Normally I could be satisfied by just standing on tiptoe, but now it seems so far away, as if it is across the distance between life and death.
The water flowed faster and faster, and the mother's strength was almost exhausted. She looked at her babbling child crying and reaching out his hands to her, with relief, reluctance and guilt in her eyes.
"Please take good care of her. I will repay you in my next life by working like a slave."
"Baby, you have to listen to your uncle and aunt."
The mother could no longer hold on, and her hands that were holding the branch were forced to loosen, and she was instantly swept several meters away by the rushing torrent.
The men and women who were trying to save the lives were filled with regret and grief. They were so close to...
The sentimental couple looked at the child who was still crying and looking for his mother, and touched his eyes sadly.
Perhaps the poor child didn't know what was happening, but for decades to come, this scene would be an unforgettable nightmare for her.
The kind-hearted people were preparing to leave with the child with regret, but at this moment something strange happened. A black figure swooped down, and with its two strong and powerful claws, it picked up the woman who was struggling in the rushing flood.
"My grass"
"Look!"
A large black bird of unknown species grabbed the woman's clothes and returned her to her child, then flew away without a trace of nostalgia.
The woman who had escaped death was still a little dazed. Her thin clothes with two big holes were dripping with water, which soon formed a small puddle.
"Mom, I want Mom."
"Wow……"
The crying of the child brought the woman back to her senses. She suddenly took a few deep breaths, went forward and hugged her child tightly, letting out a belated cry of pain.
On the other side, the big black bird has rescued one trapped person after another from the raging flood.
Men and women, young and old
Without exception
The black bird, which has been regarded as an ominous sign since ancient times, has now become a symbol of life, and its appearance has dispelled death.
Elderly people knelt and kowtowed devoutly, while middle-aged people sat on the ground, staring blankly at the giant bird, its silhouette even brighter than the sunlight. Young children excitedly pulled out their phones to take photos and videos.
Everyone cares.
…
[It’s spring: Mr. Jiang, do you know what’s going on outside? I think there’s a power outage here.]
[Jiang Hai: The entire building has lost power.]
[Jiang Hai: The tsunami isn't over yet. The flood has already submerged the first floor. There are many people seeking refuge in the hallway and lobby outside the room. Ms. Tian, if you must leave the room, please ask me to come with you.]
[It’s spring~: Okay, thank you.]
Tian Qingwen did not feel embarrassed to postpone or decline, or feel that he was being looked down upon.
It would be foolish to talk about autonomy and independence at this time.
She held her phone nervously, feeling unsure, but she felt a little relieved when she saw the instant noodles and mineral water on the shelf.
As long as the building remains healthy, the food and water in the room should last at least half a month. Don't worry, it's all right. The government will definitely send rescuers as soon as possible.
Tian Qingwen tried to comfort himself in his heart.
And this is indeed the case.
This sudden and horrific disaster has shocked the entire country and in just a few seconds it became the number one trending topic, surpassing all sorts of major and minor events, celebrities and internet celebrities.
At the same time, several unaffected cities near Hai City and nearby military regions urgently formed rescue teams, which were ready to go within five minutes and embarked on the rescue journey.
And spontaneous rescue efforts by the public also took place.
Those who had money contributed money, those who had strength contributed strength, and those who had supplies contributed supplies. Large and small trucks, and even gray tricycles set out on the road to Haishi.
This disaster has touched the hearts of countless people.
However, the affected area is too large and the tsunami is not over yet, or it is just an appetizer.
Rather than blindly waiting for a rescue team that may appear at any time, people need to save themselves more.
I wonder how many people can realize this?
He Junxia turned back to the hotel, but the lobby suddenly became chaotic, like hundreds of ducks crossing the border. He walked over and listened carefully, only to find that the refugees were arguing with the hotel receptionist.
To be precise, it was a family of three with a child who swore unilaterally, and the girl at the hotel front desk was forced to endure the swearing. Due to professional ethics, she could not talk back and could only roll her eyes to express her speechlessness and anger.
"What kind of service attitude do you have!"
"My child won't even be allowed to use the toilet. Is your toilet made of gold? You're still thinking about making money at a time like this."
"300 robberies for a room!"
"She dresses like a scoundrel at the hotel reception. Who knows what business she's running behind the scenes? It's shameful."
"Of course people like you make money quickly, but you don't realize it's hard to make legitimate money."
The woman's curses became more and more outrageous, and finally she started to make personal attacks, which caused the onlookers to talk about it.
The receptionist, who had just rolled her eyes, became completely furious.
"Yeah, it makes money quickly. Unlike a bitch like you who spews shit all over the place, no one would look at you even if you were naked and lying on the bed. Kissing you would be more painful than eating shit."
"There's no toilet downstairs for you to use. If you want to eat shit, go ahead and eat it. Why are you hanging around here?"
"She looks like a pig, married a pig, and gave birth to a pig. If you're a pig, you should be a good pig."
"A pig is not fit to use a human toilet?"
Good god, no wonder I was holding back from speaking just now. Licking my lips could kill me.
“Hahahaha…”
Someone burst out laughing, and the laughter continued for a while. The family who had been shot in the face were furious. The man who had watched his wife charge in silence suddenly walked forward and threatened to hit her.
However……
"Boom"
"Come on, you want to die, don't you? Do you think I'm easy to bully?"
The girl at the front desk pulled out a fruit knife as long as her forearm in a flash.
The surroundings suddenly became silent.
The aggressive man stopped in his tracks instantly and looked at the silver sword in her hand with fear.
Even the most drunk man would calm down after seeing this scene, not to mention that his mind was quite clear.
What is face and what is not?
If you get stabbed at this time, you're really done for.
He is a man, but not the kind of man on the Internet who can kill tigers and lions with his bare hands in a fit of rage.
When his wife saw this scene, she still refused to give in.
"I want to kill someone."
"Just try it, I'll stand right here and let you chop me."
"Do you dare?"
The onlookers all gasped. He really wasn't afraid of death. Hadn't he heard of that saying?
A shameful sword cannot be sheathed!
People who originally didn't want to kill anyone would do it after hearing these words, treating their own lives as a joke.
madness!
But then again, how could there be such a knife hidden in the hotel front desk? It's so scary.
The few onlookers closest to the family took several steps back in tacit understanding, fearing that they would be accidentally injured by the angry receptionist.
Unexpectedly, the girl at the front desk was not as angry as everyone imagined, but pointed at the camera very calmly.
"You can complain as much as you want."
"On Monday and Tuesday, I'll go to your company with the video and make a scene. On Wednesday and Thursday, I'll go to your husband's company and make a scene. On Friday, I'll go to your son's school and make a scene."
"No one in your family will have an easy time."
"Everything your wife said was on surveillance. I just wanted to see if it was me, a shameless hotel receptionist, who was afraid of complaints, or you two, who have legitimate jobs, who were afraid of complaints."
"Want to try it?"
"If all else fails, call the police. We'll both be arrested for causing trouble. Oh, and preferably criminal detention. Make sure there's a criminal record."
As the saying goes, those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes. If a quarrel really breaks out, the loss of the whole family will be much greater than that of a girl.
Before the chattering woman could shut up, the man angrily left her and the child behind, and the woman hurriedly took the child to chase after him.
The scene fell silent again.
No one expected that the receptionist who had been so gentle and kind in giving everyone hot water before would say such words, and their eyes suddenly became complicated.
He Junxia is an exception.
There was obvious admiration in his eyes.
Some people may think that the girl at the front desk is too extreme and has a sharp tongue. She sometimes holds a knife and sometimes threatens to report.
But the fact is that she extracted important information from the woman's verbal abuse alone, and with just a few words, she made the family leave in disgrace.
Don't take the initiative to cause trouble, and you won't be afraid when trouble comes.
When being framed, instead of proving himself, he would curse back; he would use a knife to intimidate without being impulsive, and he could accurately grasp the enemy's weakness; he also had a ruthless attitude that if you make life difficult for me, you won't be able to either, and at worst, we'll all die together.
Apart from other aspects, such people will definitely live better and longer in the disaster world than the family that quarreled so much before.
