At dawn, the faint morning light pierced through the thick, curtain-like rain, scattering sparsely into the villa.
Lu Fan and An Lan walked out of the room hand in hand, their steps light and gentle.
As I went downstairs, I could clearly hear the dense raindrops hitting the glass outside the window. The sound was like a stirring symphony played by nature, each drop captivating.
Downstairs, the gym door was ajar, and Ling Yue was intently engaged in his daily workout.
His muscles tensed and relaxed as the gym equipment rose and fell, beads of sweat rolling down his cheeks, mingling with the sound of rain outside the window to create a unique scene.
Lu Fan's gaze was firmly drawn to the increasingly torrential rain outside the window, and a sense of worry began to rise in his heart.
He hurriedly gave An Lan some instructions, grabbed a piece of animal skin hanging nearby, put it on his head, and strode into the rain.
The fine rain instantly soaked his clothes, and Lu Fan went to the ecological tank first.
This ecological tank is their key supply station, not only a source of a variety of foods, but also a cultivation base for various precious medicinal herbs, carrying many hopes for their lives.
Since there is no sunlight and no solar energy can be obtained, the terrarium is currently not in operation, and the purple ripening light is not on.
The interior of the terrarium was dimly lit at the moment, but fortunately the plants were in good condition and were not affected at all.
He took a closer look and found that the soil inside was slightly damp, indicating that some water had seeped in from underground, but fortunately there was no flooding.
Nourished by the water, the plants appeared even more vibrant, and the water droplets on the leaves shimmered faintly in the dim light. Lu Fan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, he walked towards the farm, his steps uneven.
Along the way, rainwater gathered into babbling brooks, meandering down the terrain, wetting his trouser legs, and a chill crept up from his feet.
Upon entering the farm, the animals were all quietly huddled in their respective sheds.
The sheep huddled together, their heads close together, occasionally letting out a few low bleats, as if they were trying to keep warm and comfort each other.
The cow lay leisurely on the haystack, swishing its tail contentedly, seemingly unconcerned about the heavy rain.
The chickens and ducks stayed obediently in their cages, their usual liveliness gone.
The panda mother and cub were fast asleep, sleeping soundly as if the storms outside had nothing to do with them.
What's even more amazing is that although the ground of the farm was damp, the rainwater seemed to be magically absorbed by the grass underfoot, and hardly any water accumulated.
Lu Fan carefully inspected the farm, and after confirming that everything was alright, he turned around and ran back quickly.
As soon as I stepped into the villa, a warm atmosphere greeted me. An Lan was already waiting at the door, holding a steaming cup of honey tea in one hand and a dry towel in the other.
Her eyes were full of concern. Looking at Lu Fan's wet appearance, she frowned slightly and said with heartache, "Quickly wipe yourself dry, don't catch a cold."
Lu Fan took the towel and vigorously wiped the rainwater off his face and hair. He then took the honey tea and took a small sip.
The warm liquid slid down my throat, instantly dispelling the chill in my body, and a warm current slowly spread through my heart.
He looked up and smiled at An Lan, saying, "Don't worry, everything is fine outside. The ecological tank and the breeding farm are both operating normally."
Time slipped by unnoticed, and my stomach promptly began to rumble in protest.
Lu Fan glanced at the gloomy sky outside the window and felt the chill all over his body. He had an idea and decided to make a hot pot.
He walked into the kitchen and skillfully took out various ingredients from the refrigerator, including tender lamb with clear texture, fresh green vegetables, and plump meatballs.
Soon, the kitchen was filled with a rich and mellow aroma, and the bubbling hot pot broth seemed to be cheerfully telling of warmth and comfort.
The three sat around the dining table, with a steaming hot pot in the center, emitting an enticing aroma.
As everyone enjoyed the delicious food, they chatted and laughed, while the rain outside showed no signs of stopping.
Raindrops pounded incessantly against the window, making a pattering sound, as if relentlessly reminding them of the prolonged rain.
Lu Fan put down his chopsticks, stared at the increasingly thick and heavy rain outside the window, and said thoughtfully, "In my opinion, this rain won't stop anytime soon; it'll probably last all day."
An Lan's expression changed slightly, and she said with concern, "With such heavy rain, and in this desolate place, I'm afraid it might trigger a mudslide or other disaster."
After hearing this, Ling Yue nodded solemnly.
He knew in his heart that An Lan's concerns were very reasonable. The terrain here was complex and the surrounding area was mostly mountainous. Continuous heavy rainfall could very likely cause the mountains to loosen and trigger various geological disasters.
After the meal, the three of them sat down on the sofa by the door to rest.
Big Black lay quietly to one side, its usually bright and lively eyes now appearing somewhat dull and lifeless, its tail drooping limply to the ground.
Lu Fan noticed Dahei's unusual behavior. He squatted down, gently stroked Dahei's head, and instantly understood what it was thinking.
Big Black must be worried about that white wolf. They are inseparable and have a deep bond.
Lu Fan gently comforted him, "Big Black, don't worry. That white wolf is very clever. It will definitely find a safe place to take shelter from the rain. When the rain stops, it will come back to you."
Big Black seemed to understand his words, gently wagging its tail, but its eyes still held a trace of worry, glancing towards the door from time to time, as if hoping that White Wolf would suddenly appear.
Time passed slowly, the morning quietly passed, and noon passed in the blink of an eye. In the afternoon, the rain not only did not subside, but became even more intense.
The gale, carrying rain, lashed against the windows like a ferocious beast, howling and howling.
The water on the ground grew deeper and deeper, and the originally scattered puddles gradually connected to form shallow streams that meandered along the terrain into the distance, as if to submerge the whole world, making people's mood increasingly heavy.
For some other participants, the heavy rain was a godsend, as not everyone has access to a stable supply of fresh water, and some are still suffering from dehydration.
Live broadcast room.
"It's raining so hard! We can't get out at all. It seems that Lu Fan and the others will have to stay in the shelter."
"Haha, rainy days like this are perfect for sleeping. As long as the rain keeps falling, I can sleep forever."
"It hasn't rained in a long time. For athletes from other countries, this is a chance to replenish their fresh water supply. Thinking about this makes me unhappy."
"But this rain looks a bit heavy. I hope nothing dangerous will happen."
"I have a bad feeling about this."
