The water gradually reached waist level. Seeing that the second floor of the hypermarket was no longer safe, Lin Sheng quickly persuaded his wife Huang Xin: "Hurry up, let's go to the rooftop."
Now I can’t care about the storm outside. I have to make sure I don’t drown first.
His wife Huang Xin looked around, nodded, picked up the woven bag that had not yet been sewn, followed her husband, and stepped into the cold water step by step.
The other people on the second floor were gradually infected by the couple and took action to save themselves.
Several men violently dismantled the containers on the second floor, used the wooden boards as floats, and jumped into the water one after another.
A group of girls put the clothesline into the water to intercept the basins coming from upstream. They put the basins together and tied them with cut clothes to make a simple boat. They lay on it and drifted away with the waves.
More and more people found ways to escape, and the number of people on the second floor of the hypermarket gradually decreased.
However, if you look closely, you will find that most of those who escaped are single young people with no burdens. They only need to consider themselves, so they leave decisively without any worries.
However, there were many family groups traveling on the second floor. They had elderly and children, and there were at least four or five people. They could not be as decisive and unrestrained as the group of young people who could just hold on to the wooden board and go into the water.
"What should we do, Dongguo? You must think of a solution quickly!" The woman from one of the families was so anxious that she was about to cry. She was carrying her half-grown son on her back and kept urging her husband.
The man named Dongguo was also extremely anxious. He tried impatiently, sometimes dismantling wooden boards, sometimes pulling out thick clothes soaked in water from the store, but there was no way he could take his elderly parents, wife and children away with him at the same time.
What should I do? What should I do!
If they delay any longer, their whole family will die!
The man was extremely anxious, and finally slapped himself twice to try to calm himself down.
"Listen to me, honey." He pressed down on her shoulders, a sinister look flashing across his face. "Take your son on your back and ask the couple who were sewing the woven bags. I think they know how to make buoyancy bags. Ask them to give us a couple of their finished products."
"What? That young couple?" The woman was stunned for a moment. "But they made it themselves. Can they give it to us?"
The man looked at his wife quietly, with a murderous look in his eyes.
The woman immediately understood what he meant, her eyes widening as she asked, "You, you want me to rob you?!"
The man said coldly: "If they don't give any, this is the only way."
The woman opened her mouth, as if she found it hard to accept living in this way.
However, after a few seconds, the woman finally raised her eyes.
This time, her eyes, like the man's, were filled with determination and indifference.
"Okay, I get it." The woman lowered her voice and responded to her husband, "For our son, even if I have to kill someone right now, I'm willing to do it!"
After saying that, he carried his son on his back and stepped onto the rooftop, one step deep and one step shallow.
After sending his wife and children away, a cold light flashed in the man's eyes.
He glanced at the other people on the second floor who had not left yet, narrowed his eyes, and finally set his gaze on the two girls in the corner.
"Give me what you have."
The two girls were about to finish their work, but before they could be happy, they saw a huge shadow suddenly looming over them.
They both raised their heads and glared at the man warily: "Why should we give it to you?! We worked so hard to make this rope. If you want it yourself, use the curtains!"
The man didn't want to waste any more time talking to them, so his voice deepened: "I said, give me the things. Otherwise, you will be the ones who suffer."
The cruelty in his tone became more and more obvious.
One of the girls was scared. She quietly poked her companion in the waist and whispered, "How about... let's give him one? The water hasn't completely flooded in yet, so we still have time to make another one."
The companions frowned, looking very unhappy, but facing the man's threat, they did not dare to resist, so they had to hand one over.
Unexpectedly, the man didn't let go and continued, "Give it all to me."
"Are you fucking sick?" The girl who handed over the rope couldn't stand it anymore and started cursing. "We worked so hard to make this, and you just want it when you want it?! Are you fucking disabled? Can't you do it yourself?"
"Haha, a disabled person?" After hearing what the girl said, the man didn't feel ashamed at all. Instead, he laughed even more fiercely. "Then I'll let you see whether I'm a disabled person or not!"
After saying that, he swung his iron fist!
There was a loud bang.
The girl's head was hit and she fell into the water instantly without even being able to shout for help.
Bright red liquid flowed out of her seven orifices, mixing with the dirty flood, like a whirlpool of death.
The girl next to her was so scared that her face turned pale and she screamed.
But before he could finish shouting, a round of punches even more violent than before came down!
The girl was unable to resist and soon collapsed in the water.
The man's movements attracted other people's attention. However, seeing his desperate look, the others were afraid of getting into trouble, so they didn't dare to say anything and could only remain vigilant in silence.
The man snorted coldly, not caring at all what others thought of him. He snatched the homemade rope from the girl's hand and then walked towards another elderly couple.
Everyone watched this scene and secretly worried about the two elders.
The two old men naturally understood what the man was going to do. They didn't resist and said directly, "If you want to take it, take it."
The man raised his thin lips and smiled: "I like people like you who are self-aware."
As he said this, he took away two wardrobes with their doors removed.
This is the tool the two old men used to escape.
The wood was very light and could support an adult. The old man took great pains to remove the door panel, but just as he was about to sit in it, the door was snatched away by the man.
The old man knew very well that his frail body was no match for a man.
The miserable condition of the two girls was a silent warning to everyone present.
So the old man chose to give up and hand it over.
At least they are still alive, and as long as they are alive, there is hope.
The second floor fell into a new round of tension.
Everyone not only has to observe the rising waterline, but also has to be on guard against the ruthless murderer at all times, so as not to become the next victim.
Everyone started making tools faster.
Men are no exception.
He carried his parents on his back into two wardrobes one by one. The wardrobes sank a lot due to gravity, but fortunately they did not exceed the height of the wooden boards on both sides, and the water did not flow into the wardrobes.
He tied the stolen rope into a longer strip and wrapped it around the two wardrobes, up and down, left and right, tightly wrapping it.
After more than ten minutes, the two wardrobes were firmly tied together.
The man breathed a sigh of relief and looked back at the stairs leading to the rooftop.
On the rooftop, the woman carrying her son on her back fell to her knees after seeing the young couple.
"Please, please save my son! He's still young, he can't die in vain!"
The woman was in tears and kept kowtowing to the young couple.
Huang Xin couldn't bear to see the woman like this. She looked down at the two buoyancy bags she had just sewn in her hands. After hesitating for a moment, she frowned and handed them over. "Take these two. Tie one on each side. They work the same way as life jackets."
"Ah Xin..." Her husband Lin Sheng stretched out his hand to stop her, but he was a step too slow.
Two buoyancy bags sewn from woven bags were handed to the woman.
"Thank you...thank you, kind people!" The woman thanked with tears and snot.
Huang Xin sighed, waved his hand and said, "Let's go quickly, we still have to make our own way."
Unexpectedly, the woman showed no sign of leaving. Instead, she turned her gaze to the other two buoyancy bags next to them.
Lin Sheng's heart was filled with alarm. This time, he moved quickly, dashing to the buoyancy bag and shielding it behind him. He warned, "I've already given you two. Please leave."
The woman tilted her head and smiled slowly, "But there are five of us in our family. How can just two be enough?"
Huang Xin was shocked: "Then why don't you just do it yourself? Why are you asking us for it?"
"But it's my fault that I don't know how to do it~" The woman grinned and blinked.
Suddenly, something appeared from behind her!
With a puff!
Something was stabbed!
"Ah Xin! Ah Xin!" Lin Sheng saw his wife covering her abdomen, blood oozing out from between her fingers.
"Are you crazy? How dare you kill someone!" Lin Sheng couldn't bear it any longer and rushed forward to snatch the sharp steel bar from the woman's hand.
However, the woman moved faster than he expected.
No, it should be said that once she no longer cares about human life, no words or actions can stop her.
The woman, carrying her son on her back, bent over to avoid Lin Sheng, and snatched the other two buoyancy bags on the ground in a flash!
Lin Sheng wanted to retrieve his things, but seeing his wife curled up on the ground in pain, his heart ached. He stopped, went back to his wife, and hugged her, his eyes filled with tears: "Ah Xin, please hold on! Ah Xin...! I will definitely get you out of here, believe me... I will..."
But as he was talking, Lin Sheng broke down.
Huang Xin's abdomen was stained red with blood, and because it was raining heavily, the rain mixed with blood, and soon rivers of blood formed on the rooftop, which was shocking to Lin Sheng!
Downstairs, the woman successfully grabbed four buoyancy bags.
She tied two bandages on her chest and back, and two more bandages for her husband Dongguo. She placed her son in the wardrobe of her parents-in-law. Finally, after making sure everything was ready, she pushed the wardrobe to the window at her husband's suggestion.
"Hold on tight, we're going to the Lakeside Hotel." The man said as he slowly entered the water.
The wardrobe was like a small boat, floating out of the supermarket with the current. The man and his wife each grabbed the edge of the wardrobe and floated out with it.
With buoyancy bags tied to their bodies, they floated on the water easily without much effort.
Lakeside Hotel.
After Song Yue reminded the restaurant staff, she took Huang An back to the room.
I explained the general situation to everyone, and everyone nodded and agreed to move upstairs.
"But before that, let's replenish our energy." Song Yue said as he took out two bags of instant noodles, two bags of bread, two boxes of biscuits, and two bottles of mineral water from his backpack. "It's not much, so you guys share it."
Huang An had been feeling hungry before, so he didn't care if there was more food or not; anything was good enough. So he shared half a bag of bread, a few biscuits, and half a paper cup of water with the woman with the child, and wolfed them down.
The others felt embarrassed that Song Yue provided food for free. They had clearly agreed to be responsible for finding food, but in the end they still had to rely on her.
But now everyone was very hungry, and they couldn't refuse, so they had to say thank you gratefully one by one and divide the food equally among people.
"Song Yue, why don't you eat something too?" Seeing that she didn't want anything, Sister Mei was worried that she would faint from hunger, so she kindly handed her half a bag of instant noodles.
Song Yue didn't want these things, the reason was very simple - she looked down on them.
Thinking that there were delicious dishes such as Kung Pao Chicken, Sweet and Sour Pork, Black Pepper Beef Tenderloin, and Braised Chicken waiting for her in the space, she really had no interest in this shriveled pancake.
So he made an excuse, saying that there was other food in his room on the 8th floor and told her not to worry.
Unexpectedly, this simple sentence brought tears to Sister Mei's eyes. She took her hand and said in a resounding voice, "Song Yue, I apologize for my previous inappropriate behavior. I was too superficial to look at you with tinted glasses. From now on, I swear I will never do that again. If you need my help in the future, you can always call me!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the other three girls nodded, still chewing food in their mouths, which did not delay their "swearing in".
"Me too! Me too! Song Yue, you're so kind to us. If you have any difficulties in the future, we sisters will definitely help you!"
"You saved our lives. We in Dormitory 401 can't guarantee anything else, but when we return to the Academy of Fine Arts, we will absolutely support you 100%!"
Listening to their words, Song Yue didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
How come dividing food gives people the same feeling as the Peach Garden Oath?
The last group of people quickly filled their stomachs and prepared to retreat to the eighth floor.
Suddenly, there was a noisy sound outside the door.
Song Yue gently opened the door, revealing a small gap.
Through the crack in the door, she saw a lot of hotel staff gathered at the elevator entrance, including the chef who had given her food before.
"I'm warning you. You are not allowed to come in unless you tell me where the blood on your body came from!" the uncle cook shouted sternly.
Huang An leaned against the wall and translated the cook's words to Song Yue.
