Chapter 26 Racing Against the Torrent



Countless people still cling to the illusion that life will return to normal once the rain stops, and how many will actually survive this natural disaster.

He put the motorboat and the vehicle into his space, changed into a diving suit, went down, and opened the door.

The cement and quicklime have already spoiled from being soaked. On the site, there are two large trucks loaded with explosion-proof glass. They must have arrived just before the heavy rain and haven't had time to unload yet.

The car was tucked into the storage space.

Visibility was low underwater. I turned on the light on my head and looked ahead. This should be the glass area. There was glass everywhere in front of me. I retracted my tentacles into the space.

Swim to the surface, enter the space slowly, and then dive back down.

Further ahead, there were various doors and windows; the alloy ones were probably intact, and there were also floor tiles of various brands. I'll keep them for now and throw away the unusable ones later.

Then there's all sorts of plumbing and electrical materials, tools, sanitary ware, etc.

Behind them, on the water's surface, you can see towering piles of steel bars—threaded steel, wire rod, coiled rebar, and round steel. Now, there's no need to dive; they can collect them right on the surface.

Perhaps it was because the steel was too heavy, especially for those with strong mental strength. Even though Bai Shuang was already very powerful, she was exhausted.

It was getting late, so we rested for a while and then headed back. We stopped about a kilometer from Yichen Tianfu, changed into a rubber boat, put a few bags on it, and drove back.

At this point, the water had completely submerged the first floor, and the second floor was not even halfway submerged.

Anming waited at the second-floor window, glancing out every now and then. He only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Bai Shuang return.

In Anming's view, Bai Shuang was just a big kid, yet she had to endure so much.

Anming helped take Zishuang's packages one by one, and then took the rubber boat and helped carry it inside.

"Thank you, Brother An. You don't need to wait here anymore; I'm very strong."

He knew, of course, that Bai Shuang had practiced martial arts since childhood, but when he returned just now, he encountered several people in the hallway who were eyeing him menacingly, so he couldn't help but feel a little worried.

He also thanked Bai Shuang for helping him find supplies today. In addition to bringing back food, he and Bai Chang also found a few canisters of gas in a kitchen selling snacks next to the market, and each of them brought back two canisters.

When he came home, his wife told him that the natural gas had been shut off.

He carried the stairs to Anming's doorstep. Bai Shuang invited him to come in, but Anming refused, saying that it was enough to help him to the door; going in would disturb the neighbors.

Although Bai Shuang didn't need any help at all, she still thought the person who helped her was quite nice, at least they knew how to be grateful.

Bai Shuang still gave him a hand-cranked generator, so at least charging his phone wouldn't be a problem.
