Chapter 8 The natural disaster has officially arrived
I returned to the downstairs of the community and put the Hummer into the space under the cover of night. It was already two o'clock in the morning when I returned to the room.
Marshmallow was waiting for the two of them at the door, and was then carried into the house by Chen Dabao to sleep.
The end of the world has begun with natural disasters.
Outside the window, the howling wind and heavy rain hit the doors and windows heavily. From time to time, the sound of breaking glass could be heard, followed by curses.
The sense of security brought by solid doors and windows is something that could never be achieved in the previous life.
The two of them hurriedly took a shower and were so excited that they couldn't sleep at all. They drew the curtains and lay on the sofa, browsing the news online.
The whistling sound outside the window became louder, the heavy rain was like hail, and the thunder exploded on the ground, stirring up dense deep pits.
There are a lot of night owls who can't sleep tonight. Faced with the heavier rain than expected, some people got up to show off their supplies, some complained that they only had two packs of instant noodles left, and some houses were flooded and windows were broken, and they were expressing their passion.
Some people were worried about water and power outages tomorrow morning, so they filled containers with water in advance.
Without exception, very few people mentioned the end of the world.
They didn't know that this global typhoon and rainstorm would last for half a month and gradually expand, eventually triggering a series of desperate natural disasters that no one could bear.
At this time in her previous life, Shen Qianxun had barely slept all night, and her inexplicable panic made her restless. Fortunately, she had the habit of stockpiling goods, and the rice and flour supplies were enough to last for several months.
After browsing the news for half an hour, the excitement wore off and the fatigue of many days set in, so they went back to their rooms to rest.
I slept until 9:30 in the morning.
Outside, the sky was gloomy, dark clouds thickening, a gloomy grayness shrouding the air. The atmosphere was oppressive and gloomy, with flashes of lightning and thunder, crashing and whimpering echoing between heaven and earth. The sky seemed to be torn open, and a fierce wind, with its fangs bared, crushed and plundered everywhere, like a pair of dark hands, firmly grasping the entire sky, with a simple grip, it could devour everything in the world.
The wind howled outside the window, showing no sign of weakening but becoming even more violent. The enchanting sound of crashing continued to be heard, and along with the vibration, the tightly closed windows rustled.
Inside the house, a circle of moisture-proof mats were placed around the windows, all the faucets were open, and the toilet and floor drain were covered with thick cement without a single gap.
Inside the space, a red brick stove was burning brightly, and in one pot were various braised offal dishes, a pot of beef brisket stewed with tomatoes, a pot of mutton and radish soup, and spicy crayfish being simmered.
There was no smell or sound from outside.
Outside the space, on the large dining table purchased at zero yuan, Chen Dabao was immersing himself in putting the cut meat strips into the blender, while Shen Qianxun was making dumplings on the side.
Dumplings stuffed with green onions, celery, mushrooms, cabbage, and leeks have filled four steamer baskets.
At this moment, the Internet is more noisy than ever before.
Videos of coastal cities being hit by typhoons kept coming out. Waves were hundreds of meters high, all ports were submerged overnight, twin tornadoes smashed skyscrapers in an instant, groups of tornadoes ran rampant in the city, and purple thunder mercilessly struck high-rise buildings. The casualties were incalculable.
Gradually, people discovered that this was a global typhoon plus heavy rain, and even the Northwest, which had the lowest rainfall, could not escape it.
Two-thirds of South Korea was flooded, and the situation was even worse for Japan across the country, which was also the eyewall area of Typhoon "Fukumaru". The entire country was submerged until only the tiny head of Mount Fuji, the highest peak, was left. The letter for help sent to the father of the beautiful country will never receive a reply.
The Korean country is still begging its father from the beautiful country for help, but they don’t know that their father is also unable to take care of himself.
All the coastal cities in the beautiful country across the ocean were engulfed by the typhoon. Riots broke out in the city, and the thugs were engaged in passionate revelry, burning, killing and looting, turning the city into a living hell.
The Koreans shamelessly came to Country A to ask them to adopt the baby. Netizens who used to like to engage in fierce verbal battles with the Koreans had no intention of arguing back and were focused on their own disaster situation.
This is undoubtedly the worst global disaster in human history.
The government stepped in immediately to stabilize the people's hearts. Despite the strong winds and heavy rain, rescue efforts were still underway, and arrangements were being made across the country for the relocation of affected people in low-rise buildings.
Emergency shelters, hotels, hospitals, libraries, gymnasiums, clubs, cinemas, etc. were set up in high places across the country, and low-level residents on floors 1 to 3, nursing homes, orphanages, and people with disabilities were arranged to be relocated as soon as possible.
But gradually, they had to face the reality that it was extremely difficult to carry out rescue operations in such an astonishing typhoon and rainstorm. Many ships and officers and soldiers died on the way to disaster relief. The government urgently changed its strategy, encouraging everyone to help each other and move low-rise residents to live upstairs.
Those living in rural areas should seek shelter in higher places first, and pay special attention to mudslides and landslides.
Many people responded to the call and actively accepted their affected neighbors, while some people noticed something was wrong and a sense of crisis suddenly arose.
Chen Dabao suddenly stood up and exclaimed, "Yaoyao, look outside."
Shen Qianxun stood up, and the two of them came to the window.
A "water dragon" appeared outside the window, almost connected to the sky and the earth. The wind speed in the center was as high as level 10, easily uprooting the surrounding trees, and in a blink of an eye it rushed straight to the community where the two were.
"careful."
Chen Dabao threw Shen Qianxun to the ground, followed by a thunderous sound that shook the entire building. The building was clearly shaken, and the screams from the surroundings were quickly drowned out by the strong wind.
After a while, the two got up from the ground, Shen Qianxun’s face was calm.
In my previous life, it was the same scene. I was afraid at first, but then I felt relieved.
Fortunately, the "water dragon" hit their building first, because as time went on, the wind speed of the "water dragon" continued to increase, and eventually reached a level 14 wind speed that had never been seen on land.
"Chihiro, are you okay?"
Shen Qianxun shook his head, pulled Chen Dabao to sit on the sofa, and told him about his experiences during this period in his previous life. In the previous life, neither of them wanted to recall the past, and did not talk in detail about their experiences before they met.
Just like in the previous life, their building was the first to be attacked by the "water dragon". More than three-quarters of the glass in the entire building was shattered and the exterior walls were severely damaged, but it held up until the extreme heat ended.
At that time, 5 windows in Shen Qianxun's room were broken, leaving only one room with undamaged glass. It was also this room that helped Shen Qianxun successfully avoid the snake disaster during the extreme heat period.
After hearing this, Chen Dabao was shocked.
Shen Qianxun changed the subject, "Dabao, how was it on your side?"
"It was also a heavy rainstorm, but there was no water dragon. I escaped the flood in my wooden house in the mountains."
There was a gradual sound of dense footsteps outside, and Wang Qingfen kept shouting in a loud voice.
"This damn rainstorm has flooded my house."
Without opening the door, I knew that the other person was probably sitting on the ground howling.
Then came Grandma Deng's voice, "Hurry up and get up. There's no point in making a fuss. Several of my windows are broken. We should find a way to fix them now."
Before she finished speaking, her cell phone kept ringing. It was the building manager of their building who was inviting people to join the group, and Chen Dabao was also invited in.
