Chapter 68: The True End of the World



3201.

After taking a light luxury red wine bath, Jiang Yan sat on the sofa and rested for a while. When she was thinking about what to do next, she heard two short and three long alarm sounds from the monitoring.

If I remember correctly, it should be the prompt sound of insufficient power supply of the mobile energy storage cabinet in the safe house.

She simply took off her bathrobe, changed into a light sportswear, and then withdrew from the space.

As soon as she returned to the living room, she felt that the temperature outside was much colder than before entering the space.

This kind of cold should not only come from the temperature difference between the space and the safe house.

It is likely that the temperature outside has dropped again.

I walked to the wall and took a look at the thermometer.

Sure enough, the outdoor temperature has dropped to 12 degrees at this moment, and the indoor temperature is only 20 degrees.

Generally speaking, the temperature difference between indoors and outdoors is about 5 degrees.

But because her room uses insulation materials, the temperature difference is larger.

According to this cooling rate, it is very likely that once the rainstorm ends, everyone will face the most serious extreme cold problem.

According to her inaccurate memory of her previous life, before the extreme cold, there were also major earthquakes and large-scale mutant insect plagues.

Jiang Yan suddenly felt that the natural disasters in this life were more serious than those in the previous life.

First, there was the high temperature that caught people off guard, and then there was a rainstorm.

Before everyone could react, the rainstorm had already flooded the doorstep.

In fact, when the natural disaster first occurred, most people had a fluke mentality to a greater or lesser extent.

It was this mentality that made people accidentally miss the best time to save themselves while waiting and expecting unconsciously.

Of course, there are also people who have a serious sense of crisis and have made preparations, but after all, they are a very small number.

In addition, it stands to reason that many reservoirs, rivers, underground rivers, etc. were dried up during the previous high temperature.

The rainwater that fell at the beginning was likely to be digested.

But it wasn't.

It can only mean that the rainfall was too large, far exceeding the normal digestion capacity of these natural channels.

The food stored at many people's homes should have been insufficient.

If the rainstorm was smaller and the water level rose more slowly, you could go out and search for some supplies.

Even if those supplies had already deteriorated and rotted in the previous high temperature, they could at least fill their stomachs for a while.

But now, the continuous heavy rain and thunder and lightning have sealed everyone in their homes.

The hope and way to find supplies have been completely cut off.

Even if someone has a rubber boat at home and dares to go out in the rain, those supplies have already been submerged deep under the water.

Without navigation and positioning, all

you can see is a vast ocean.

It’s hard to find them without professional equipment and sufficient manpower.

Of course, someone should go up to those office buildings.

But how much supplies can be found?

The key is that even the most powerful officials suddenly disappeared.

Various signs show that this is indeed not a good sign.

Jiang Yan frowned slightly and walked straight to the master bedroom.

From here, you can see the central garden and other buildings of the Repulse Bay Community, and you can also see the rising water level.

But today's rain was too heavy, almost completely blocking her sight, so she had to take out a high-power telescope.

After not paying attention for a while, the water level has actually flooded to the 12th floor.

The dark building opposite was dead silent.

One could vaguely see scattered figures moving upwards.

Of course, one could also occasionally see figures "passively diving" from the windows.

These figures, it seems, are alive and dead.

The story of the survival of the fittest is not only played out in Building A, other buildings, or other communities are also not immune.

Jiang Yan watched for a while, put down the telescope, and counted the time with her fingers.

If compared with the previous life, the rainstorm will temporarily subside when it reaches the 16th floor.

That is about two or three days later.

At that time, the rain will still fall, but it will be much smaller and sparse, and it may even stop temporarily for three or four hours.

As for which day it will stop, she doesn't know.

This time will only last for three or four days.

These three or four days are also the only window for everyone to find supplies and survive.

After that, the probability of people surviving after going out is almost zero.

Four days later, a bigger rainstorm will come again.

The water level will begin to rise wildly and submerge most areas of the city.

Anming's geographical environment is very special, surrounded by mountains and a basin-like center.

It is very likely that the surging floods from all directions on the mountains will also pour into the city.

Most people will starve to death, drown, be washed away by floods, or lose their lives in the confrontation between the strong and the weak in this super rainstorm.

Only then will the end of the world come in the true sense.

Those who still have a glimmer of hope in their hearts will also fall into endless despair from that time on.

The subsequent earthquakes and mutant insect plagues will take away another group of lives.

And the extreme cold that follows, everything is frozen, and the evil of human nature is completely released.

And she, in her previous life, became a meal on the plate of Song Deming and Xiao San's family when the extreme cold came.

Jiang Yan recalled these, and her mood became heavy unconsciously.

Back to the living room, she looked out the French window.

The shopping mall she had visited before was already a vast ocean a few days ago. On the other hand,

the high-rise apartment built next to it, although the floor is not as high as Building A of Repulse Bay, is still half exposed above the water.

The roof of the old community that I flew over in a flight suit before has long been invisible.

The whole city is dark at a glance.

Only when the lightning flashed could one roughly see some high-rise buildings standing alone in the rainstorm.

"Ding-ding-ding!"

The secondary alarm sound of the mobile energy storage cabinet pulled Jiang Yan's thoughts back from the heavy memories.

In her safe house, except for the master bedroom, pillars, and load-bearing walls, she asked the decoration company to open up the remaining areas with the living room, so the energy storage cabinet was placed in the corner of the living room, just next to a pillar.

Jiang Yan walked over, turned off the main switch, then reached out and put the energy storage cabinet, and thought "collect", and put the energy storage cabinet into the space.

There is a photovoltaic panel on the top of the space apple cabin, which can be recharged repeatedly.

She thought again and took out a fully charged energy storage cabinet inside.

Turning on the switch, the entire safe house was powered again.

But she didn't go back to the space immediately.

After the monitoring, anti-intrusion system, etc. are reconnected to the power supply, there is a restart process.

She plans to wait for these devices to restart and confirm that the screen is normal before entering the space.

"Ding!"

Soon, all the equipment and images returned to normal.
