Large raindrops pelted Xia He, and even though she was wearing her thickest raincoat, she still felt a sharp pain from the impact.
When Xia He got off the bus, she was holding the two little ones, but because her hands were full, she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to dodge in time in case of an emergency.
So I went back to the car, found two pet backpacks, and carried the two little ones on my back, one in front and one behind.
A distance of several hundred meters, which normally takes about 10 minutes to walk.
The rainwater reached Xia He's knees. Xia He put one arm in front of her face, hoping to reduce the wind, but it was obviously of no use.
There were many people on the road in the same situation as Xia He, but none of them had raincoats and were being battered by the raindrops. Some were waiting for ride-hailing cars in shops on the street, but the ride-hailing cars would never come.
There are also many people who have been in traffic accidents and are waiting for the police and ambulances, but it is unknown whether the police and ambulances will be able to arrive.
And so, Xia He moved her feet little by little, slowly but firmly advancing towards Tianchi Yipin.
On the way, Xiahe saw many people walking in the rain: mothers rushing to pick up their children, elderly people returning home from grocery shopping, and migrant workers going home from work...
An elderly man fell into the water because he couldn't withstand the torrential rain. The people around him were too busy to help him. Xia He watched from a distance as the old man struggled in the water.
He tried to stand up, but couldn't muster the strength. Just as he managed to stand up, he was knocked down again by the rain. Finally, a burly man couldn't bear to see him like this, so he ran over and helped the old man up. He patiently asked the old man which direction he wanted to go and told him that in this kind of weather, he should notify his family to come and pick him up.
A trace of sorrow flashed in Xia He's eyes. The rain would continue to rise, and soon it would even submerge people. The old man would not be able to wait for his family to come and pick him up.
However, Xia He had no intention of helping others; survival of the fittest prevails.
This is just the prelude to the apocalypse, because the extreme weather in the apocalypse will eliminate the elderly and children first.
Xia He couldn't help others, but when she went to Saudi Arabia, she anonymously informed the Chinese government that the atmosphere would undergo abnormal changes, reminding them to prepare in advance.
However, given the current situation, Xia He estimates that the Chinese authorities probably haven't seen her message, or they probably just took it as a joke.
Xia He thought about it for a moment and realized it made sense. Who would believe that the end of the world was about to happen for no reason?
Xia He walked in the rain for about 30 minutes. The water had risen to Xia He's waist, and if it rose any higher, it would submerge the two little ones.
Many people were surprised that the rainwater rose so quickly.
Only Xia He knew that this was just the appetizer.
When Xia He arrived at the gate of Tianchi Yipin, the rainwater had already flooded the pet backpack. The two little ones' paws were wet, and they whimpered, indicating that they were uncomfortable.
Xia He was particularly worried about Tang Yuan, since he had been hit by the car. Although he seemed fine on the surface, she was afraid that there might be other problems.
When Xia He reached the bottom of her building, the rainwater had almost submerged half of the two little ones' bodies and reached Xia He's chest.
I couldn't help but feel scared. Did the rain rise this fast in my past life?
In Xia He's memory, in her previous life, after half a day of rain, the rainwater had only just submerged half of a person's body.
But what's the situation now?
Does this mean that natural disasters have not only come earlier, but have also become more severe?
After Xia He returned home with the two little ones, the tension finally eased, and she collapsed on the ground, breathing heavily.
Shivering with cold, Xia He felt as if she had been pulled ashore from the deep sea, and sat on the shore, still feeling lingering fear.
If I had been any later today, would I have been unable to return?
Xia He first checked Tangyuan's injuries and, after confirming that there was nothing seriously wrong, quickly gave the two little ones a hot bath and then put them in a pet drying box to dry them off.
Xia He lay down on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.
