Natural Disaster: My Portable Farm in the End of the World

Sure enough, this brief calm lasted less than five minutes, and the rain suddenly became heavier.

There seemed to be a hole in the sky, and the heavy rain poured down with great force, and the strong wind and rain were like thousands of troops galloping past.

The water level also rose rapidly with the arrival of heavy rain. In just a short while, it had already risen from the knees to the top of the thighs.

Xu Ge and Xu Tao helped Xiang and Xu climb into the house over the sandbags at the door.

At this moment, the room was dark because the windows were sealed, with only a faint light coming from the door. Xiang Chi sent the two fathers to the third floor.

He took out two bundles of rope, fixed one end inside the house, and threw the other end downstairs from outside. Xu Ge and Xu Tao caught the rope in the yard and tied it to the motorboat.

After the connection was secure, the two quickly climbed into the house. Use sandbags to completely block the entry door. For a while, the room was so dark that I couldn't see my fingers.

"click"

Xiang Chi stood at the stairs and turned on the light in the living room.

"Xu Tao, please go up first. Xu Ge and I will wrap up the sofa and everything and then go upstairs."

Xu Tao: "Let me help you, the three of us can't do it quickly."

Xiang Chi glanced at Xu Ge, who reacted and said immediately:

"Xiao Chi and I will do just fine. Go upstairs quickly and see if there's anything else missing. Didn't you just say that you wanted to modify a backpack for your child?"

Xu Tao thought for a while and nodded.

"Okay, then you two work on it. I'll go up first. If you need help, just call me."

Signing OK to Chi, Xu Tao took a few big steps and rushed upstairs.

Xiang Chi stood at the stairs and looked upstairs, then went downstairs with peace of mind.

Xu Ge took out a large roll of plastic sheeting from the storage room, and he and Xiang Chi worked together to cover everything that could be covered, such as the sofa, cabinets, and the kitchen hood and stove.

This is because they are afraid that Xu Tao and Han Dongdong will see the clues, otherwise Xiang Chi will put these things into the space sooner or later.

After taking care of the furniture, Xiang Chi turned off the lights, took out a searchlight from the space and placed it on the ground for lighting.

I entered the room where the generator was placed, unplugged the connecting cable, and touched the generator. In an instant, the generator moved into the space.

The generator is a treasure now, so Xiang Chi is worried about leaving it outside. If floods enter the house and soak the generator, Xiang Chi will cry.

So Xu Ge and the others discussed that the furniture and other things could be left out of the space to hide it from others, and the generator must be well protected.

After wrapping the power cord in plastic cloth, Xu Ge and Xiang Chi went out and locked the door of the room.

After a final check that nothing was missing, Xu Ge leaned over and picked up the searchlight, and went up to the second floor with Xiang Chi.

Because the generator was taken away, the whole house now has no electricity, and the second floor is also dark, except for a faint light at the stairway leading to the third floor, which is the beam of the searchlight in Xu Ge's hand.

Xiang Chi and Xu Ge walked around each room and closed the doors when they came out.

On the third floor, several old people and Xu Tao's family were sitting on the floor.

There were several mattresses on the floor, with a moisture-proof mat and a blanket on top, so it wasn't cold at all.

As soon as Xu Ge and the others came up, Xiang Ma asked them to sit down quickly, and then each of them stuffed a cup of hot water into their hands.

Xu Ge took a sip of hot water and asked casually.

“Where is the water level now?”

Xu Tao just came in from the terrace and replied:

"The stone lion at the door has been submerged."

Xu Ge nodded.

Xiang Chi exclaimed:

"So fast? It's already over my head!"

Outside the entrance door on the first floor, there were two decorative stone lions. Xiang Chi stood at the foot of the steps, just as tall as the stone lions.

Xiang Chi is 1.65 meters tall. Xu Ge didn't expect the water level to rise so fast.

The family stayed nervously in the house. Xu Ge and Xu Tao went to the terrace every ten minutes to check the water level downstairs.

Standing on the third floor, Xu Ge looked around and found that many people in the community chose to escape in the rain.

Some people also have motorboats, and some people use large plastic basins or cabinets as boats.

Judging from the direction of progress, it should be towards Bicui Mountain.

Xu Ge thought about it and realized that it was right. Those people did not have as rich supplies as they did. Of course it would be better to go to the air-raid shelter on Bicui Mountain.

I came back from surveying the water level again. Near noon, the rain had decreased and the water level had slowed down.

The water level is now almost at the upper edge of the first-floor window. Xu Ge estimated that the current depth of the water is about two meters and a half.

All the surrounding neighbors who could walk had left, and those who couldn't left also tried their best to evacuate. It seems that the only ones left nearby are Xiangchi Xuge's family and Xu Tao and Han Dongdong's family.

Han Dongdong was shaking slightly while holding Xiaobao, feeling a little uneasy.

"How about we also withdraw? Go to the air-raid shelter. Will the people who come behind not be able to get a good position?"

Xu Ma and Xiang Ma, who were whispering something, stopped talking and looked at Xu Ge and Xiang Chi.

Xu Ge coughed and said seriously:

"My suggestion is that we stay put and stay at home. When the water level rises and we have no place to go, we can go to the shelter."

Looking at the confused Xu Tao couple and the elderly at home, Xu Ge paused and then explained why this was done.

First of all, no one knows how high the water level will eventually rise. If it is not higher than the house in the end, there is no need for them to evacuate.

Secondly, even if the water level ends up being so high that they have to evacuate, they can still recharge their batteries since they have enough food stored at home.

Also, based on previous observations, many people are rushing to the Bicui Mountain Shelter. When they go to the shelter now, it is also crowded and there are no good seats.

Moreover, the environment of the shelter will not be very good, so going early will just be a misfortune.

The main reason is that they don't need to compete for positions.

Xu Ge previously donated a batch of pesticides free of charge due to an insect infestation, and received a promise from President Liao.

President Liao promised to give the Xu Ge family a better place when they had to go to the shelter in the future.

Chairman Liao used to be the boss of the Agricultural Committee, but now he is the director of the Dancheng Logistics Department. His words are still very weighty.

After hearing Xu Ge's explanation, everyone nodded and felt relieved.

Xu Tao: "Oh, that's good. Xiaoge, you have the foresight!"

Xu Ge smiled slightly.

"Just in case of emergencies, I hope he will always keep this promise."

Xiang Chi looked at the rain curtain outside and sighed.

Just when everyone was feeling a little depressed, Xiaobao, who was sleeping well, suddenly burst into tears.

"Wow... wow..."

Han Dongdong quickly patted Xiaobao, and after just two pats, he smelled a familiar smell.

Xiang Chi also shrugged his nose and said with a smile:

"Ouch~ Xiaobao, isn't it..."
