Chapter 1 The Great Flood
“Boom!”
A bolt of lightning suddenly flashed across the dark sky.
The pale electric light, like a sharp sword, instantly pierced the darkness and illuminated the entire earth.
Under the short-term light, what you can see is an endless stretch of water, with scattered houses appearing suddenly on the water.
Like isolated islands, huge shadows occasionally appear and disappear in the water.
After the lightning, the sky with heavy rain suddenly returned to darkness.
This is Linjiang High-tech Zone.
The pouring rain has been going on for half a year!
The entire Linjiang City has been completely submerged.
As sea levels rise, low-rise buildings in Linjiang City are completely submerged.
Buildings below ten floors are basically underwater.
Now there are only ten or more floors, which are still struggling to support themselves above the water.
Beside the window on the top floor of Building 66 in Meidu Garden, after the lightning and thunder, a figure stood there and stared out the window.
“It’s been half a year.”
Liang Yuan frowned, but at the same time he was very lucky that he had bought the penthouse on the 32nd floor of this building.
Although when I bought it, I encountered many problems such as water leakage from the top floor and poor insulation.
At that time, he was really looking for properties everywhere and asked developers to change houses.
But no one caught him.
At that time, he was really desperate.
Half my life's savings have been spent on this house.
Not only that, he also took out a loan of nearly one million yuan and became a house slave.
I thought I could get married to my girlfriend this way.
Unexpectedly, his girlfriend had already quarreled with him more than a dozen times within three days of moving in.
The apparent reason is that my girlfriend is not satisfied with the house.
But the underlying reason is naturally that I don't want to bear a mortgage of more than one million yuan with him.
The last straw for Liang Yuan was the 300,000 gift from his girlfriend’s mother.
Liang Yuan was anxious at the time. Linjiang City is a city in the south of the Yangtze River, and a bride price of 100,000 yuan is a lot. His girlfriend’s mother asked for 300,000 yuan. He was so excited that he couldn’t help but have a big quarrel with his girlfriend. .
Later I found out that my girlfriend also had a younger brother who had just graduated and was also dating.
But the person her brother was talking about was from Akarin Province, and everyone had heard about the market there.
But Liang Yuan didn't expect that her brother would go around looking for someone and the bride price would be on him.
With nothing to say, Liang Yuan broke up decisively.
Whoever loves this kind of family and this kind of woman should want it.
With 300,000 yuan in the bank, you can earn as little as 10,000 yuan a year.
I never thought we would break up in May, and Linjiang City will enter the rainy season in June.
Then God went crazy. This heavy rain continued for half a year without stopping!
In the first month, no one paid much attention.
I just feel that this year’s rainy season has too much rainfall.
However, it was soon reported on the news that there was a huge flood somewhere and how many people drowned there.
There was no danger in Linjiang City at that time, and everyone just watched it as news, and those who should go to work should continue to go to work.
Until the second month, the heavy rain still continued to fall.
Linjiang City also experienced severe flooding, and Linjiang seawater poured in.
Suddenly the entire Linjiang City panicked and immediately started organizing disaster relief.
In Meidu Garden, the community where Liang Yuan lives, all the underground garages on the first floor were flooded.
The residents who bought the property on the first floor were so frightened that they rented it to their neighbors upstairs.
It was okay at first, but after heavy rains continued for a week and water flooded the second floor, everyone was completely panicked.
People who had no place to stand kept running upstairs.
No supplies have been purchased for more than a month, which makes everyone panic.
Until a news report showed that marine life appeared in the flood.
And it is a mutant creature that has never been seen before!
This news shocked the world!
The era of the Great Flood has officially arrived.
It was not until half a year later that everything below the tenth floor of Meidu Garden was submerged. At this time, the corridors, corridors and other places were filled with tents.
The doors of every house above the tenth floor are closed, and no one dares to open the door to admit others.
The same is true for Liang Yuan. The reason is that two months ago, a household on the ninth floor took in a group of people.
As a result, the next day, the bodies of the original owner and his family were found floating on the water. They were caught on the clothesline on the balcony and became swollen and rotten. The news has completely spread among the property management group of the community, so no one dares to take in outsiders anymore.
And no one can afford to take them in because their own supplies have been exhausted.
Liang Yuan has been grateful countless times. Fortunately, in the first month, he rushed to buy a lot of food when the situation was not good, so he can survive until now.
Standing by the window, he picked up the last piece of wood and nailed the window shut to prevent anyone from climbing down from upstairs.
Then he raised his hand and looked at his watch. The watch showed that the current time was 9:18 in the morning.
At this time, it should have been bright, but it was pitch black outside, with no light at all.
“Hey, how long will this rain continue to rain?”
Liang Yuan couldn’t help but sigh, a little worried that if it continued like this, sooner or later even the top floor of his thirty-second floor would be flooded. submerged.
“Tuk tuk tuk——”
Suddenly, there was a fierce banging sound outside the door.
Liang Yuan's expression suddenly changed, he quickly picked up the nail gun on the table and rushed to the security door.
Through the peephole, he saw three middle-aged people outside the door, banging against the security door of his home.
He knew these three people. They were residents on the ninth floor. They had often met in the community before and occasionally nodded and said hello.
These people seem to be part of a running group in the community. They exercise all the year round and their physical fitness is not bad.
Half a year after the flood, some of our former neighbors have long since become demons in human skin.
The three people in front of me are undoubtedly this kind of people.
The middle-aged man in charge at this moment, holding a fire ax in his hand, cursed: "Open the door, open the door for me!"
Dong dong dong!
The ax hit the security door and made a roaring sound.
Without saying a word, Liang Yuan followed the peephole and aimed the nail gun!
Bang!
The nail gun exploded instantly, and a piece of iron was shot out in an instant.
“Ah——”
Screams came from outside.
"Old Wu!"
"Oh, Mr. Wu, Mr. Wu!"
"Quick, go quickly, this house has weapons!"
Just follow and listen To the sound of rolling and crawling.
Liang Yuan stopped behind the door and listened for a while. Uneasy, he took the mirror from the cabinet in the entrance hall.
Observe the situation at the door through the peephole and through the reflection of the mirror.
Looking at it, I immediately saw another middle-aged man holding a slender iron stick in his hand and placing it at the cat's eye!
Liang Yuan was suddenly startled and secretly thought it was dangerous!
If you get up close and observe it with your eyes, if you don’t keep it all right, the other party will directly pierce your head with an iron stick!
Thinking of this, anger surged in his heart.
Grab the nail gun, aim it at the cat's eye and shoot!
Bang!
"Ah——"
There was another scream outside. The man's palm holding the iron sign was shot by an iron nail, and blood suddenly flowed out.
Liang Yuan stood across the door and cursed: "You idiot, you still want to plot against me. Come on, come and hang out in front of my house again. This box of nails from me can turn you into a hornet's nest!"< br>
"Damn it, you little bastard, just wait for me, I won't believe you will never come out!"
The people outside scolded without showing any signs of weakness.
Another person endured the pain and also cursed: "Boy, if you can, don't come out. I'll see how much food you have left to survive!"
"Fuck you! "If you can, just die in there. If I come out, I'll chop you up alive!" Another person yelled, obviously breaking his guard.
Liang Yuan sneered: "Idiot, my nails have been specially soaked in the toilet, and they are all rusty. Just wait until you die."
As soon as these words came out, the three of them suddenly panicked and cursed Liang Yuan, but they did not dare to come to his door.
One of them said: "Old Wu, go back first and bandage it. I remember that the house on the twelfth floor has a first aid kit with iodophor."
"Yes, go first. Clean the wound, damn, this kid is too salty, let Brother Erlong deal with him later."
Several thuds came down the stairs.
Liang Yuan listened for a while and felt slightly relieved.
This is the fourth time this week someone has broken in.
If I hadn’t bought a lot of decoration equipment when I renovated my house, I really wouldn’t have been able to guard against these people outside.
Putting down the nail gun, he came to the bedroom. Looking at the many empty boxes stacked in the room, he became anxious again.
“There are not many supplies.”
His eyes showed worry.
"Ding, you killed a mutated sardine and gained 1 point. The system is starting..."
Suddenly, a strange message rushed into Liang Yuan's mind, making him startled.
“What?”
