Demons Beside You (The Demons Beside Me)

The rain is still falling and the water levels are still rising.

At this time, the water level had risen to the stairwell of the second floor, making it completely impossible to get down to the first floor.

And the sky had already darkened. Before that, they had already called for help.

But at this time, disasters were everywhere in New York City.

It is estimated that no one cares about coming to them.

The children were locked in a room with the animals and allowed to do whatever they wanted.

Several adults gathered together to discuss.

"Chen, this is not the way to go. If the water level continues to rise, we won't even have a foothold." Fali said worriedly.

If it's daytime, there may be a chance to evacuate.

But since saving so many children, they have basically lost the possibility of evacuating.

When taking so many children through the rapids, no one can guarantee whether a few will be washed away along the way.

And once it is washed away, should we save it or not?

If saved, there will be more children behind.

Don’t want to save? Just watch the children drown in front of them?

Several adults asked themselves not to be so ruthless, even Houseman couldn't do it.

But now it was dark, and the water level was rising horribly.

At this time, they had almost been cut off from all escape routes.

Once the water level reaches the second floor of the villa, they won't even have a foothold.

Of course, if you just don’t have a foothold, it’s a bit of a misfortune.

But the waves are now hitting the villa, which makes the villa dangerous.

Once something goes wrong in the villa, Chen Zhao will undoubtedly save Fali first, and then grab the two children.

You can't just leave Fali alone. Let's save the child first.

Chen Zhao is willing to save people, but only under the condition that he is within his ability.

"I have a way." Houseman said at this time.

"Do you have any idea?" Everyone looked at Houseman.

"I have a yacht docked at the pier." Houseman said, "It's big enough, and there's food inside."

"Where is the pier?" Chen Zhao asked.

"It's about two kilometers away in that direction," Houseman said.

"What are the steps to start a yacht? A key? Or a password?"

"The key, but the key is hidden on the yacht."

"Mr. Chen, it's pitch dark outside, it's windy and rainy, and the waves are so turbulent. We're still two kilometers away from the pier. If you go out now, you're courting death." The female teacher looked at Chen Zhao worriedly.

Fali didn't speak, just looked at Chen Zhao silently.

"If you are sure, just do it."

"Yeah." Chen Zhao stood up, changed into his swimming trunks, and jumped directly into the water from the balcony.

The female teacher rushed to the balcony, but Chen Zhao could no longer be seen.

"Miss Farley, do you know how dangerous it is for him to enter the water like this?"

Fali didn't speak, just looked at the night.

"Miss Fali, did you hear what I said?" the female teacher shouted anxiously.

"Shut up, that's my man." Fali finally scolded: "If I think my man is in danger, I will stop him faster than you."

"But..." The female teacher was obviously unhappy.

"I know him better than you do." Fali is also worried, but she won't show it.

Of course, she also has more confidence in Chen Zhao than the female teacher.

It is common for Chen Zhao to swim several kilometers or even more than ten kilometers in Mirror Lake every day.

Even under the influence of such bad weather and water flow, Chen Zhao has stronger resistance.

Of course I pressed it, and the more important reason was that Amon was nearby.

Ten minutes, twenty minutes, thirty minutes...

Finally, a light appeared on the sea.

Chen Zhao came back and the yacht docked in front of the villa.

Fali immediately jumped in front of Chen Zhao excitedly and hugged Chen Zhao passionately.

The female teacher looked sour and said nothing.

Fali suddenly felt something sticky on Chen Zhao's back.

When she reached out and touched it, she found blood.

There was a gap in Chen Zhao's back.

"Chen, what's going on?"

"I scratched it accidentally." Chen Zhao said, "Get on the boat."

After all the children were picked up on the boat, Chen Zhao got off the boat.

"Chen, what are you doing? Aren't you going to get on the boat?"

"I have something to do. If you sail the ship overseas, Amon will follow you and you will be safe." Chen Zhao said.

The storm caused billions of dollars in damage to New York City.

Of course, these have nothing to do with Chen Zhao.

Regardless of whether it is billions or tens of billions of dollars, Chen Zhao will not be given a penny.

However, that thing actually came to Chen Zhao.

Chen Zhao couldn't avoid it even if he wanted to.

Chen Zhao and Fali being together will only bring danger to Fali.

Therefore, we must first distance ourselves from Fali.

"Chen, don't take risks, let's leave together."

Chen Zhao shook his head: "Don't worry, I will make peace with you."

"Mr. Chen, what are you doing here?" the female teacher asked in confusion.

"think about life."

"..."

In the end, Chen Zhao watched the yacht go out to sea.

Then Chen Zhao started eating and drinking.

He just swam two kilometers and had a fight, which took a lot of energy out of Chen Zhao.

Water began to accumulate in the room and the water level rose again.

Suddenly, Chen Zhao heard movement.

Four figures suddenly broke through the roof and landed in the room.

Chen Zhao looked at the four people, and these four people also looked at Chen Zhao.

The four people looked at Chen Zhao holding a piece of barbecue in one hand and a can of beer in the other.

"Boss, is he?"

"No, Star Compass didn't respond to him."

"But why did the star compass point to this house just now?"

"It's possible that thing is lingering nearby."

"Are you here to fight?" Chen Zhao was also a little confused as to where these four people came from.

The person controlled by that thing?

It doesn't look like it.

"No, we are lost." The leader said.

Chen Zhao raised his head and looked at the broken roof.

It was the first time he had seen such a fresh and refined excuse for getting lost.

These four people were dressed like mercenaries, wearing steel helmets, camouflage uniforms, and body armor. The weapons they held were automatic rifles, but they seemed to have been modified.

"I'm hungry too, give me something to eat."

"The meat is gone." Chen Zhao directly stuffed the meat into his mouth, chewed a few mouthfuls and said, "There is still some wine."

The four of them were not polite, picked up the beer and started drinking.

"Who are you looking for to fight?"

"Nothing, we are really lost. Why are you here eating meat and drinking alone?"

"Can't you see that I'm trapped here? When you came, I thought you were here to save me."

"The water will probably flood up soon. You should consider climbing up the roof. We are not here to save people."
