Chapter 61 Tornado. Tornado
On June 30th, the rain finally stopped, and the city that had been hit by the heavy rain suddenly became empty.
Just as people were trying to find ways to go out, strong winds blew towards the city from afar, and a new sense of unease spread.
The strong wind stirred the water surface, and the waves surged and piled up, like the roar of a giant beast tearing people's eardrums.
The billboards, wooden strips, debris and broken iron sheets that were originally floating in the accumulated water were washed away by the waves.
Houses were washed, torn, and crashed, and the crackling sounds echoed throughout the city.
The windows of many residents' homes were broken by sharp objects blown up by the wind, with broken glass scattered all over the floor and the houses in a mess.
Countless people were injured and could only hide in the corridor temporarily.
At 8 o'clock the next morning, Xiao Liu from the Qingrun homeowners group finally spoke up, reminding everyone to stock up on water and that the city would be shut off from water at 11 o'clock in the morning.
His words caused a panic, but no matter how the owner asked questions, no one answered.
At noon, he reminded the owners that there would be a power outage at 3 p.m.
No one would feel good if the water and electricity were cut off before the rescue arrived. The group was full of condemnation, but no matter how much they were scolded, they could only store water and charge.
"Aren't all power distribution rooms waterproof now? Didn't the developers advertise that they can still provide power underwater? They are all scammers."
Xiao Liu took the initiative to answer the question for the first time. "This disaster is very serious. Communications, electricity, and water have all been affected. However, the difficulties are temporary, and the government has been trying to find a solution. Under the coordination of the government, various communication companies will send drones to each community to ensure that everyone has a smooth network."
The government's proactive cutting off of water and electricity shows that it is taking action and is in control. In the future, supplies will be provided on a regular basis as needed, which is better than a complete blackout in the previous life.
In the past half month, she has fully charged all the electronic products she got from Uncle Lian. Although the stream water in the space is drinkable, it has also filled three water towers to be prepared.
She had already told Gu Ye, Zhuona and Li Qing about the water and power outage. She also made up a lie, saying that if they asked, Qingrun had a neighbor's relative working in the government and that it was inside information.
Unfortunately, the lie didn't work. Gu Ye and Zhuona treated her as a friend and listened to everything she said. Li Qing disappeared completely. However, as long as Li Qing didn't delete her WeChat, she would always see it.
At 8 pm, Xiao Liu from the community sent out a schedule for water and electricity supply. The water and electricity will be cut off for two days, and after two days, the supply will be scheduled according to the jurisdiction. According to the supply list, their community has an opportunity every two days, from 3 pm to 6 pm.
July 2nd was the first day when water and electricity were supplied, and everyone was waiting obediently.
As soon as the day was over, the people downstairs started making trouble again.
They couldn't get into the 11th floor, so they could only vent their anger on the door, and they managed to smash a big bulge in the iron door.
The people on the 11th floor had no choice but to organize everyone to take turns on duty and guard the door to the safety passage.
In fact, since it has stopped raining, many people have been thinking about going out.
People in city C love water, and every family has a swimming ring, or more than one. It's also nice to tie four swimming rings together and lie on them to use as a boat.
Some people used foam boards and door panels, and anything that could be used as a boat was unloaded.
However, some people were unlucky and their makeshift boats were overturned by the wind and never surfaced again.
On this day, it was Chu An's turn to be on duty.
She moved a small stool and sat at the door of the emergency passage.
Within two minutes of sitting down, my eyelids started to droop.
Last night, Shen Xun told her the locations of Uncle Lian’s other three warehouses.
She woke up with excitement and never fell asleep again.
The warehouses are scattered, one is near Dongwan Town, one is in the suburbs of Lian City, and one is on Mount Canaan.
Canaan Mountain is also near Lianshi. You can collect these two together. Dongwan is a bit far away. It is near the sea in Jishi. The directions are also different. Lianshi is in the south and Jishi is in the east.
Shen Xun said that he didn’t know what was in the warehouse, so the more he thought about it, the more excited he became. Was there any joy in opening a blind box?
Just as Chu An was dozing off, a strong light shone in.
She raised her hands to cover her eyes, and after a while she stood up and walked to the window.
The sun, which had been shy for a month, finally showed up. Under the sunshine, the whole city became bright.
The people who were paddling with wooden boards and swimming rings downstairs also stopped what they were doing. Some whistled and some cheered.
They stretched their bodies and felt the dignity of breathing and life in the warm sunshine. Sunshine is like a panacea that heals everything and can instantly bring hope to people.
But Chu An frowned.
wind.
The wind is a little different today, it's swirling a lot. Right now there's a person lying on a wooden board downstairs, being blown around in circles.
The clouds in the sky were also different. They were in large, funnel-shaped clusters and rolling very fast.
In her understanding, tornadoes should appear on rainy days, not sunny days, but everything that is happening now seems like a precursor to a tornado.
She hurriedly sent messages to Gu Ye, Zhuona and Li Qing, "A tornado is coming, close the windows and doors, and stay in the corridor if necessary."
After hesitating for three seconds, he said cryptically in the group chat on the 11th floor, "There's a whirlwind outside, maybe a tornado."
Manager Ouyang comforted her, "No, don't scare yourself. There is still half an hour before the shift is handed over. Why don't you go back and rest early?"
Nao Nao, "That won't do. What if they come up in just half an hour?"
Chu An typed a smiling expression, "I'm not tired."
She had just typed 'period' when a black dot appeared in her peripheral vision. She looked up and saw that the sunlight had instantly shrunken. The clouds were getting lower and lower, and a dark shadow appeared where the sky and water met, then slowly stretched out.
Then, the fast-flowing air current swept everything around it and spun upward, forming a huge spiral vortex, like a silver-gray dragon, roaring and approaching the city.
High-rise buildings collapsed, bridges were cut in half, and waterspouts destroyed the steel buildings that humans were proud of with great force.
Chu An knew there was no way to hide, so she could only watch everything. The waterspout was like a huge beast that absorbed the power of heaven and earth, showing all its power to humans. When it was closest, she felt that she could touch the beast with just a hand and follow it away.
Suddenly, she felt difficulty breathing and had a feeling of being on the verge of death.
She hurriedly connected with Chen Xun in the space, seeking help.
"Take a deep breath, come, breathe with my rhythm." Shen Xun soothed.
Chu An breathed according to his own rhythm and closed his eyes at the same time, not looking at the beast outside.
But she still felt uncomfortable, as she felt that everything she had now was unrealistic.
"Am I really reborn?"
Although the space told her that this was a rebirth, she was still afraid of waking up one morning, or after a storm. She opened her eyes from the cold wooden bed, and she did not have the courage to face the broken world and herself again.
"Chu An, your environment is not the same as in your previous life. Your family is still waiting for you to find them, your friends still need your help, and you still have a chance to change everything."
"Really?"
"Really, open your eyes and look at everything around you."
Just then, a wheel flew in from nowhere and smashed the window.
She suddenly opened her eyes.
The strong wind swept into the corridor with debris, and her clothes blew up instantly, knocking her down. She didn't know what had swept across her face, and it was burning with pain.
She protected her head, rolled to the table at the emergency exit, and used the table to block the wind.
"Thank you." Chu An took a deep breath, "Thank you."
"Your mental illness is still very serious and you shouldn't live alone."
Chu An was about to answer when he heard some noise outside the emergency passage, like the sound of someone prying open a door, and some whispered discussions.
After a while, two steel bars were stretched out from the deformed door. They were pushed hard a few times and then someone else was replaced.
There is a road to heaven but you don't take it, there is no door to hell but you insist on coming.
Chu An was just worried about how to vent her panic, and now someone came to help her.
Without hesitation, she kicked the table top away, and the safety door was suddenly blown open by the strong wind.
“Bang——”
The door panel hit the wall heavily, shaking off several pieces of wall.
There were four people who pried the door open: 906, 510, Big Belly and Bald Man.
At this time, 906 was holding the steel pipe that he had just used to pry the door open, staring at her blankly.
Chu An narrowed his right eye and saw four balls of pure black mist and a bright line at 906.
She pulled the corner of her mouth slightly, and the debris behind her flew everywhere, as if to build momentum for her. She had given them too many chances, and this time it was definitely the right time, right place, and right people.
Two willow-leaf darts quickly pierced through the hearts of 906 and 510.
The two men fell to the ground before they could recover from the ghostly face in front of them. They would probably only know how they died when they reach the underworld.
The big-bellied man and the bald man retreated backwards in panic, their heavy bodies rolling down the building, "Ghost...Ghost."
Chu An didn't want to leave any hidden dangers, so he moved his mind and the big-belly man and the bald man were killed at the corner of the stairs.
Killing made her feel that this was not the previous life and she could really start over.
"Chen Xun, will my illness be cured?"
"meeting."
