Survival [End Times]

Wu Changxin was convinced by Yu Heng. She could see the urgency in Yu Heng's eyes, so she packed her things without asking.

Zhang Tao saw it and asked again urgently.

"Brother Zhang, do you think the disaster is over?"

"It has been raining for so many days, and it looks like it will continue to rain. You can see that the temperature has also dropped. The disaster will be over soon." Zhang Tao said that this is what most people think.

Yu Heng shook his head: "Brother Zhang, I feel very uneasy. When I just came back, I walked past the Wanghai Bridge. The river was only half a meter away from the bottom of the bridge, and the water was almost overflowing to the road. The terrain of our old city is originally It’s just low. Every day when typhoons come, there will be water. Judging from the current rainfall, there is a high possibility of flooding. Now that Chang Xin’s belly is so big, she doesn’t know when she will give birth. It’s not safe at home.”

This is a good reason.

"I found a hotel in the city and made an appointment with someone to pay for the accommodation with food. I plan to take Chang Xin to live there."

Zhang Tao agreed when he heard this, but felt that it was too far over there. "We have high-rise buildings here. There is a hotel at the end of the village, which is also four stories high. Even if there is water, we are not afraid."

Yu Heng couldn't express his other worries. I had no choice but to say: "The room I'm looking for is big enough for the three of us, and there's room to put our things. Since we're going to live out, we have to move our things there, right? Brother Zhang, will you come with us?"

They were all gone, what was the point of living alone? So Zhang Tao nodded: "Of course I'll go with you. It's not safe to live outside. I have to go with you."

Yu Heng planned to live there permanently, so he packed up all his things at home. The hotel kitchen must have pots and pans, so I won’t bring them.

You must bring food and water, as well as bedding and clothing. Zhang Tao's van can only hold part of it, and there is still a lot left. Yu Heng went to a house with a truck in the village to borrow a truck and paid him half a bag of rice.

"What do you need a car for on a rainy day?"

It wasn't something that couldn't be discussed, so Yu Heng said, "It's raining heavily and I'm afraid that there will be water in my house. I plan to stay outside for a while and borrow your car to move things."

"What's the point! I just like the rain now. I'm happy even if there's water." I'm also afraid of drought.

"Even if the water is too deep, you have to be careful."

No one took this to heart. There are many rivers and streams here, and river water will flow out every rainy season. However, the water channels and drainage channels are well constructed, and even if there is water accumulation, it will not be serious. There has been a drought here for almost two years. I heard that the sea in the distance has dried up. I heard that the relatively shallow Sihai Sea has exposed large areas of seabed.

This shows how serious the drought is. Just the rain in the past few days can't even fill those seas and lakes. How can there be stagnant water?

Wu Changxin packs clothes at home. After several months of preparation, she sewed diapers and cut small quilts and mattresses for her children in her spare time. In addition to the clothes brought home by Yu Heng and Zhang Tao, there are two pieces for each age group, both thick and thin.

Children's clothes are small, which sounds like a lot, but after sorting them out and folding them neatly, wrapping them in a sheet and tying them tightly with a rope, it's just a package.

Her own clothes are simple, just a few belly skirts that she often wears. She quickly put it away and quickly put away Yu Heng's clothes. At this time, Yu Heng also drove the truck home.

It was already past seven o'clock in the night, and the Wu family lit two candles in order to pack their things. Yu Heng organized the food in the warehouse again and again, planning to move it there at once.

Since it rained, there was no shortage of water. Yu Heng emptied the five plastic buckets at home and wiped them dry. He opened the rice bags and poured the rice into them. He filled two full buckets of rice and closed the lids again. Really sealed.

The food is actually quite monotonous, except for rice in the warehouse now. Bottled water is bread and dried noodles, more than twenty boxes of instant noodles and other bits and pieces. There is no place to buy many things after eating them.

After everything was almost packed, Yu Heng moved the things into the car.

He originally planned to go out at dawn the next day, but after dinner, Yu Heng found that the water in the yard had reached the second level. When he returned home, the water had only reached the first step. In just one hour, the water had increased by ten centimeters.

There are only four steps in total. At this rate, if I go to bed half way tonight, the rain will start to enter the house.

So I decided to leave at night.

Under the sound of rain at night, the movement was not too small. After all, a truck drove in from the alley. The Wu family and the Liu family live in this row, and the two families know each other if there is any movement.

There was no entertainment program during the power outage. Liu Jianhui's son clamored to play in the water, but his father slapped him in the face. His crying woke up Pangpang.

Aunt Ping couldn't bear it anymore. She had already thought of taking Pangpang back to her parents' house, but she didn't expect it to rain. The water shortage problem has been solved, the temperature seems to be gradually dropping, and everything is thriving. Her aunt's family also wanted to go home, so she endured it.

Now I hold Pangpang to the door to enjoy the cool air, blowing the cool breeze to coax him to sleep. When she noticed the movement next door, she didn't take it seriously at first. Later, when she heard the sound of the door being locked and the car starting, she was shocked to realize that the Wu family was about to go out.

She didn't know what to think, so she sent Pangpang back to her room, hurriedly opened the umbrella and walked out.

"Hengle? Are you going out?"

Yu Heng was just about to close the car door when he heard a voice and stuck his head out to answer: "Yes, we are going to live outside, Sister Ping. If the water is deep, leave quickly and go to higher ground."

This was so incomprehensible that Mrs. Ping didn’t know how to answer it. Yu Heng didn't care either. Looking at the encounter, he gave him a warning. If that time really came, it would be a life-saving thing.

The car drove away, and Sister Ping went home in a daze. Liu Jiancong asked her: "Where have you been?" Sister Ping said, and Liu Jianhui smiled: "Where did the water come from? He doesn't want to tell you about them." Wherever I go, I’ll use my words to deal with you.”

Mother Liu also nodded: "Ping'er, go in and take care of Pangpang. He will cry after you leave for a while." Aunt Ping hurried into the house and forgot Yu Heng's words.

Yu Heng was driving in front. There was a layer of water on the road, and the water splashed when the car passed by.

Arriving at the Four Seasons Spring Hotel smoothly, Yu Heng led the car into the underground parking lot. Unexpectedly, the water in the underground parking lot had already submerged half of the tire.

"Go back!" Yu Heng shouted, and Zhang Tao reversed the front of the car to make room for Yu Heng.

There is no choice but to find another door to enter. Yu Heng got out of the car and shouted to the people upstairs. After shouting more than a dozen times, he saw the light of a flashlight shining straight through the glass on the fifth floor.

The glass window was opened, and Wu Chunyan stuck her head out: "Is it you? Why are you here now?"

"There was water in the house, so I came here early. Have you slept?"

"I just fell asleep...just wait, I'll go down and open the door for you."

"Sister Wu, the parking lot is flooded and it's difficult for cars to drive in. Can you open another door?"

Wu Chunyan said: "I will open the cargo door for you to come in. You drive the car to the back, which is the road on the right side of the parking lot, and turn right."

Yu Heng and Zhang Tao drove to the back and waited for another half an hour before the door in front of them opened a small door on one side and two people came out, one was Wu Chunyan and the other was Zhuang Xiaoyan.

"Show me your ID first."

Yu Heng showed them the ID cards of the three people and the household registration books of the two families that he had prepared.

Wu Chunyan looked at it carefully, checked again that it was indeed the number of people Yu Heng said in the afternoon, and said, "Okay, I'll open the door, and you can just drive in."

After driving in, Yu Heng discovered that there was another person behind the door, Liu Guohui. He knew in his heart that they were guarding against them. It is also understandable that knocking on the door at night should be a point of caution.

"You have the key, so go up by yourself. We are going back to sleep. Please pay me the accommodation fee tomorrow." Wu Chunyan locked the door again and left.

Zhuang Xiaoyan glanced at their car several times and said, "You have a lot of stuff."

Yu Heng smiled naively.

Zhuang Xiaoyan rolled her eyes: "You move things more quietly, don't disturb me when I sleep."

Zhang Tao promised: "Don't worry, beauty, we must be careful." Wu Changxin glanced at him, lowered her head and touched her belly.

But Liu Guohui said nothing and left long ago.

"Let's go, move things, and go to bed after moving everything."

Yu Heng first carried two bags of things and motioned for Wu Changxin to follow him: "Xinxin, come with me and go to bed first." She was sleepy due to pregnancy. She usually fell asleep at this time, but now she covered her mouth and yawned non-stop.

Zhang Tao said: "Okay, you take Xiaoxin up first, I'll rest here for a while." He was also on guard against strangers who were about to become neighbors here.

This was consistent with Yu Heng's thoughts. He nodded and took Wu Changxin upstairs.

Wu Changxin turned on the flashlight and followed carefully. The eleventh floor is really too high, so I walked and took breaks for half an hour.

"Fortunately, I usually move around a lot, otherwise I really wouldn't be able to climb up." Wu Changxin panted, but her face looked pretty good. When Yu Heng opened the door and pushed it open, she exclaimed: "Wow, it's so beautiful. I've never lived there before. Such a luxurious hotel.”

"I haven't lived there either. Well, I'll save it next time. You need to take a rest first."

After Yu Heng closed the door and went out, Wu Changxin walked around the room and began to tidy up after satisfying his curiosity. She touched the furniture and found a thin layer of dust, so she picked up the towel on the coffee table and started cleaning.

What Yu Heng had just brought up were clothes and bedding. She just saw that there was a cloakroom here, so she put the clothes in the cloakroom. The quilt in the closet was a surprise, and the closet space was also large. She folded the quilt she brought at home and put it in it.

During this period, Zhang Tao and Yu Heng came up alternately and quickly moved everything.

"Okay, let's tidy up tomorrow. Xinxin, you can sleep on the bed, and your brother Zhang and I can sleep on the sofa."

The sofa is quite large and concave, enough for one person to sleep on one side.
