Thankfully, there was no one on the street at the moment, otherwise someone would have been injured just from the falling objects.
The torrential rain lasted for more than two days before it began to gradually subside. Looking downstairs, the area was completely flooded; the city's drainage system simply couldn't withstand such a large amount of rainfall.
The messages in the residents' group chat have been nonstop. The 7-plus yuan per square meter property management fee isn't wasted; it's quite useful in a pinch. With the help of the property management, the first-floor residents have already moved to higher floors.
Besides large pieces of furniture, they also helped move the food and other items inside the house upstairs. Fortunately, although the rain was heavy these past two days, the power was still on and the elevator was still running.
The water source was contaminated. The property management sent a message advising everyone not to drink untreated water to prevent illness.
However, the torrential rain also brought good news; at least it wasn't so hot anymore, with temperatures dropping below 36 degrees Celsius. Jian Anping had been cooped up at home for the past two days and was practically growing mold.
As soon as the rain stopped, he went straight downstairs to check on his car in the garage, but unfortunately, he was stopped by the water when he got to the second floor.
The underground parking garage was flooded, and many of the vehicles inside had been washed away and were floating on the road.
Unless he has a diving suit, how can he go down?
Left with no other option, I had to return home.
He called Jian Ning over the walkie-talkie: "Xiao Ning, the water's almost up to the second floor. If only we had a boat, we could go out for a ride. I think we didn't buy enough bottled water; it's running out a bit too fast."
I just called the city government, and they said they don't know when the water will recede.
However, they've already started organizing people to drain the water. I'm still a little uneasy. I feel like the weather won't get better so quickly.
"Keep the mineral water bottles, don't throw them away. There's enough water in the water tank upstairs for our daily needs. Filter it with a water purifier, boil it, and then drink it. Don't even think about going out today."
I think this rain stop is only temporary. It's very likely to go back to rain. I won't go out for dinner today; I'll just grab something to eat by myself. Be careful, everyone; don't open the door for anyone."
Jian Anping hadn't experienced the apocalypse and didn't know that humans were the most terrifying thing. After giving him his instructions...
Jian Ning hesitated for a moment, then took a basket of fruit from her spatial storage and went to knock on the door of 1603.
"What's up?" After knocking twice, the door was opened from the inside.
Today, Xiao Lingfeng was only wearing a black vest and no mask on his face. This was the first time Jian Ning had seen his face clearly.
Beneath her messy, slightly damp, dark hair were perfectly shaped features. She lowered her head slightly, and the deep, unfathomable eyes beneath her long eyelashes made her heart race uncontrollably.
She seemed to have just taken a shower; instead of wearing the black long-sleeved shirt, she was wearing a black tight-fitting vest.
His skin was dazzlingly white, and water droplets rolled on his broad chest, making him extremely striking.
Looking at the familiar face before her, Jian Ning was momentarily speechless. She involuntarily swallowed.
"Do you need my help?" Xiao Lingfeng, oblivious to her lapse in composure, asked again.
"Oh, no, I'm just bringing some fruit to Aunt Wang. I also wanted to talk to you about something."
Jian Ning finally came to her senses and quickly raised the basket in her hand.
Xiao Lingfeng opened the door, but didn't let her in. He took the bamboo basket from her, glanced at the fresh fruit inside, and raised an eyebrow slightly.
"Well, since we're neighbors, we'll inevitably need to help each other out in the future. And who knows if the storms outside will continue. Here's a walkie-talkie for you, so you can contact me if anything happens."
As Jian Ning spoke, she took out another walkie-talkie from her pocket and handed it to him.
She hadn't originally planned to give this when she arrived. But the moment she saw Xiao Lingfeng's face, she couldn't control herself, regardless of whether he was the Xiao Lingfeng from the cultivation world.
Regardless of whether he had memories of that world, Jian Ning felt very close to him.
Suddenly, this world doesn't feel so unfamiliar anymore. Although in my past life, I only saw him twice from afar and never had any interaction with him.
Sensing Jian Ning's goodwill, Xiao Lingfeng smiled slightly.
Leaning forward, she took the walkie-talkie from Jian Ning's hand with her slender, well-defined fingers.
The moment that incomparably handsome face drew near, it was as if the surrounding air itself was filled with the fragrance of flowers. Such a visual assault—who could resist?
Jian Ning subconsciously took a step back, gave a slightly flustered smile, said goodbye, and turned to run home.
I'm not some monster, so what's this little girl afraid of? She doesn't seem that timid.
Xiao Lingfeng tossed the walkie-talkie a couple of times in his hand, then casually placed it on the shoe cabinet by the door. He then carried the fruit back into the house.
Just as Jian Ning had predicted, the downpour only temporarily subsided.
I had just finished lunch when the rain started pounding down outside the window, accompanied by howling winds.
This time, water started seeping into Jian Anping's floor-to-ceiling windows through the cracks. Thankfully, Jian Ning later added more glass, so the rainwater only seeped into the first layer.
Aunt Li was using scraps of fabric she'd cut from making clothes to block the way. Outside, the wind howled, swirling and blowing cars off the road. Trees were uprooted.
"Ningning, thank goodness your brother listened to you and didn't go out. In this awful weather, if we had been stuck on the way, we wouldn't have had anywhere to stand!"
Li Mengyao was incredibly relieved. When Jian Anping was about to go out that morning, she hadn't stopped him; she almost went downstairs with him.
Looking back now, it's really frightening. If we had encountered such a storm outside, there would have been nowhere to take shelter.
Jian Ning's classmates' group chat has also become lively.
Three parts handsome, seven parts arrogant: {Help! The wind blew the glass out of my French windows. Thank goodness I wasn't in the living room. Now I'm hiding inside, too scared to even open the door. I'm trembling with fear!}
User: {Me too, the air conditioner isn't working anymore. The outdoor unit was blown away. Is God going crazy?}
The confused boy: {My electricity is all off. I'm blocking the living room window with the sofa.}
The problem is I haven't eaten for over two days! I ate the last egg the day before yesterday.
During this huge typhoon, no one is delivering food, and my fridge is full of drinks but no staple food at all. Classmates, is anyone going to help me?
Cao Xue: {Not all typhoon days are like this. Everyone should be careful. If the window glass isn't broken, use tape to make a crisscross pattern; it will provide good protection.}
I still have food at home, Zhang Xiaoqiang, hang in there a little longer. I'll bring you some when the wind stops and the rain lessens. It's not far anyway.
The Bewildered Boy: {Cao Xue, you're an angel, thank you so much. I'm waiting! I'm so hungry I'm practically seeing stars!}
Jian Ning sighed as she read the message. Cao Xue still didn't understand the importance of food. She hoped her good intentions would be rewarded.
