Xia Ning remained as still as a mountain.
She's already two-thirds of the way through Disaster City.
Like the other residents, she was waiting.
However, she wasn't waiting for the natural disaster to end; she was waiting for the next disaster to begin.
No matter how much this place resembles Earth or the Dragon Kingdom, it is not her hometown, and none of her old friends are here.
After a typhoon, the water level rose above the second floor and reached half a meter above the third floor.
The residents on the fourth and fifth floors couldn't hold back any longer. At this rate of rain, it was only a matter of time before the water level rose to their homes.
By this time, all the apartments in the high-rise buildings had been allocated, and the hotel rooms were also fully booked; even paying extra wouldn't get you a room.
People started looking to rent rooms from residents on higher floors of the same building.
Most people certainly wouldn't want strangers to come into their homes, and with the purchasing power of money decreasing and purchase restrictions everywhere, there's nowhere to spend money.
Currently, the security balance in the community has not been disrupted, with only some petty thefts and no serious incidents of burglary or forced occupation of homes.
For residents of high-rise buildings, the bigger problems are not housing issues, but rather drainage difficulties and water cockroaches crawling out of the pipes.
Xia Ning, who was in the living room, heard Wang Wei's unprecedented scream.
"Cockroaches, ahhhhhh! Flying cockroaches!!!"
Xia Ning: !!!
My whole body is shaking!
As a woman who had fought against bandits, she was also terrified of cockroaches!
Xia Ning rushed to the entrance hall, making sure the door was tightly sealed to the ground so that no mosquitoes would crawl in.
After thinking for a moment, she put another layer of tape on the top and bottom seams of the door, which she would peel off when she needed to open the door.
Before transmigrating, Xia Ning would read some post-apocalyptic novels, but she would skip over the parts about insect plagues. On the day the torrential rains began, she blocked all the drains in her house, stopped using the toilet, and shared a litter box with her sister.
My younger sister once tried to teach her how to bury poop.
Xia Ning politely declined.
She would rather go to great lengths to create a sterile environment in her home than deal with a single cockroach!
For every one of these things, there are countless others that we can't see!
Ghosts and cockroaches are the unbearable lightness of being for Xia Ning.
