Copy Three
The next morning, Su Wanxing was awakened by the roar of a violent storm.
The gloomy sky was gray and foggy, a change from the usual dusty and yellow earth color. The heavy rain repeatedly knocked on the windows, as if a pair of big hands could not wait to reach in, easily pull humans out, and whip them repeatedly.
Su Wanxing got up and went to the living room. The curtains on the entire floor-to-ceiling window were not drawn, so she could see the situation outside clearly.
The residential area is surrounded by high mountains. The fog is so thick that the mountains in the distance can no longer be seen from home.
All you can see is the heavy rain mercilessly washing the residential area. There are no high-rise buildings here, only two-story buildings with their own small gardens and parking spaces. If it were in the original world, it would definitely be a small villa area with nice scenery, close to the mountains and the sea.
Outside the window stands a huge tree, its sturdy branches seem like delicate saplings in the heavy rain. Lightly hit by the rainstorm and gently blown by the strong wind, the trunk, which is thicker than a human waist, actually sways violently with the rhythm.
Not to mention those slender branches, which were completely out of control under the baptism of heavy rain, allowing the wind and rain to blow and hit the nearby eaves and windows from time to time.
The "bang, bang, bang" sounds were continuous and disorderly, making people feel nervous.
Su Wanxing approached the floor-to-ceiling window. The original sound of the rain was covered by the howling wind. The raindrops were no longer weak and helpless. Because the wind speed was very fast, the rain became like silver needles, wishing to pierce all living things and bring peace to the planet.
The sound of the neighbor's car starting came, and Su Wanxing lowered her eyes to look. Even though the wipers on the front window were on, the glass was like a bucket of water had been poured on it, and all the wiper movements seemed to be in vain.
Even if the rainstorm is so heavy that it hinders travel, the helpless workers still have to get up early to go to work, braving the wind and rain to earn hard-earned money to support their families.
The vehicle drove away not far, and Su Wanxing wanted to avert her gaze, but she heard a terrible scream, and she quickly raised her neck to look.
Perhaps the rain was too heavy, the branches of the towering trees were broken and suddenly fell down and hit the front of the car. The hard body shell was slightly deformed. The people in the car were not injured, but they were almost hit on the head, which was somewhat frightening.
Su Wanxing heard her mother and sister going out, and hurried downstairs to tell them to "be careful".
Sure enough, my mother and sister are dedicated to their work, rain or shine.
Watching his car disappear at the end of the storm, Su Wanxing felt vaguely uneasy and prayed silently in his heart that nothing would happen today.
She wanted to experience the whole family celebrating her birthday, even if it was just in a game.
After breakfast, the heavy rain showed no sign of stopping, so she and her brother continued their online classes amid the deafening sound of the rain.
"Dear students, a temporary notice. We originally planned to resume offline teaching tomorrow, but now there are minor floods in many areas, so the return to school plan has been postponed. If there is any latest news, the teacher will inform you in time."
The teacher read a notice before the class started, "Today is the weekly physiological hygiene class, and this time the content involves female fertility issues. Early pregnancy will cause morning sickness. Don't be fooled by the old TV dramas that show how happy and blessed the family members are when they see this phenomenon. In fact, it is the women themselves who are suffering..."
"After giving birth, women will face many problems such as urinary incontinence. Urinary incontinence is commonly known as urine leakage, which is caused by damage to the pelvic floor muscles during childbirth. Only some types of urine leakage can be improved through surgery. Girls must remember that it is improvement, not cure."
"In addition, the economic conditions after marriage are the key to whether a woman's marriage can be happy. Fortunately, early modern women have fought for the high-quality fertility benefits we have today, such as extending maternity leave and prohibiting the dismissal of employees due to pregnancy."
Finally, the teacher said earnestly: "Women have a uterus, which means we have the right to choose whether to give birth or not, rather than blindly tolerate and compromise. Here, boys cannot empathize, the teacher hopes that you can learn to understand and tolerate..."
It has to be said that the physiology classes in this world are so comprehensive, instead of deliberately avoiding these issues, which makes it impossible for girls to form a correct view on marriage and childbearing, and thus develop negative emotions such as depression and anxiety after marriage, and ultimately they are forced to compromise under various factors.
Su Wanxing nodded as she listened, and she also learned how to give the teacher a little red flower on the online class interface.
After a day of classes, the heavy rain outside did not abate, but instead became more and more intense. Su Wanxing looked at the huge tree swaying wildly outside the window, as if it was constantly ringing the alarm bell on behalf of nature.
Due to the continuous heavy rain, the ground is covered with broken branches and willows, and there is a high possibility of flood disasters in low-lying areas.
Su Wanxing couldn't help but worry about her mother and sister. Would they be able to return home safely tonight?

International BioGene Corporation.
Three underground floors.
Sister Pei Wei came to the archaeological team to study and research as usual.
Recently, a biological company excavated ancient biological remains underground. The archaeological team carried out sequential excavation day and night, and did not interrupt the work even when heavy rain hit.
Because rainwater has not penetrated in for the time being, their working environment is completely closed and will not affect the progress of the archaeological work.
Pei Wei's main task is to take photos and draw pictures of the ruins.
After a week of excavation, some of the fossils were pieced together, and the skeleton of the creature appeared to be very large, which meant that they might have dug up a big one.
Relying on her rich professional knowledge and experience, Pei Wei judged that this should be a brachiosaur that lived in the late Jurassic period and was about 12 meters tall.
But the atmosphere of the entire archaeological team was very strange. Everyone seemed to be digging the ruins non-stop, but the actual progress was slower than a snail.
Everyone is working, but progress is decreasing.
Pei Wei observed silently for a while and found that although these people appeared to be digging for fossils, they were actually carrying out a secret operation behind the scenes.
However, she is currently a graduate student in paleontology and has no way of knowing the internal situation of the archaeological team. Fortunately, after a long period of lurking, she finally gained the trust of her superiors and obtained access to the team's main computer.
She sat in front of the computer, checking the research files bit by bit. When the mouse rolled over a special gene sequence, she frowned slightly and quickly shifted her gaze to the text description below:
The experiment used genes from chameleons, tree frogs and snakes to fill in the gaps in the species' genetic code.
"The species?"
Pei Wei murmured softly, and slid the mouse down again. When she saw the name of the species, her eyes suddenly widened as if they were about to fall out of their sockets!
At the same time, an alarm sounded on the third underground floor radio:
"The first floor of the company has encountered a severe flood. The underground oxygen supply device will completely fail in one minute! All staff on the third underground floor please evacuate immediately!"
When Pei Wei heard this, she quickly closed her computer, put it in her backpack, and ran away.
When the broadcast was looped for the third time, it completely lost contact with the underground.
Several staff members hurriedly ran into the elevator. Pei Wei ran past them and headed for the stairs.
After running a few steps, Pei Wei heard the sound of "sizzling" as the electric current hit the water behind her. In an instant, several sparks flew out and splashed everywhere, and a stream of yellow mountain torrents slowly flowed out along the closed elevator door.
She glanced back and saw a thick scarlet color mixed in with the muddy water that kept flowing out. The person who ran into the elevator was probably dead.
Many staff members who were trying to save the experimental data rushed up the stairs to escape. When they passed the elevator and saw the shocking blood, their scalps went numb. They deliberately avoided the blood and stepped into the orange-yellow flood. Their whole bodies began to twitch as if they were electrocuted.
The elevator leaked electricity, and the people behind immediately looked for other ways to escape.
Pei Wei ran up the stairs, but she was exhausted when she reached the second floor. The staircases on the third underground floor were complicated and not like normal stairs that were all next to each other. When she reached the second floor, she had to go through a long corridor to the stairs on the opposite side to reach the first floor.
Coupled with the lack of oxygen, she felt dizzy. She endured the discomfort and walked through half of the corridor.
Lack of oxygen made her nerves extremely sensitive. Suddenly, she heard the sound of flowing water. When she looked up, she saw a mighty flood rolling in at the end of the corridor in front of her, making the narrow corridor seem really cramped.
The fierce flood was unstoppable, and the rain wrapped around the loess. The rich orange-yellow turned into a deep red due to the dim light underground, as if a pool of blood was uncontrollably opening its bloody mouth towards the crowd.
The few staff members who were following closely behind were frightened by the raging flood and subconsciously ran back.
Pei Wei was suffering from a suffocating feeling. She knew that her speed could not outrun the speed of the flood and she could only wait where she was...
With a loud "boom", the surging flood instantly submerged the corridor. The fleeing people were easily carried away by the flood because of their unstable center of gravity, and rolled down the stairs again, feeling extremely desperate.
Because the third underground floor has a larger space to accommodate flood water, the water flow in the corridor gradually decreases.
Pei Wei finally showed her wet head, one hand tightly grasping the small knife inserted into the crack of the wall, and the other hand trying to support the oxygen mask.
As the water flowed downwards and gradually decreased, she did not dare to delay, so she put away the knife and continued to climb up.
The stairs were wet and slippery due to the flood, and her clothes were soaked by the flood water and became heavy. Only the desire to survive made her reach the last step.
The first floor of the company was not in a very good condition. The flood destroyed the front desk and washed away the company brochure. Corporate culture was all bullshit in the face of the rushing flood.
Pei Wei struggled to support her weakened body and stepped through the endless mountain torrents one step at a time. All the vehicles outside the company were soaked in the flood, and several small vehicles were washed away in the blink of an eye.
The flood reached halfway up the stairs. Pei Wei finally climbed up. Her knees were numb. She felt cold and shivered. She leaned against the safe wall. As she lost consciousness, a line of small words flashed before her eyes:
[Successfully escaped from the third underground floor. Congratulations to the player for surviving the flood...]
