It's a new morning, and the rain outside the window is still falling. Just like the previous few days, the rain has become much lighter.

I came to the window and looked around. The whole city seemed to have been filtered. Washed by the endless rain, the buildings in the city looked clean and transparent. In the continuous rain, there was a somewhat hazy artistic conception.

.

If you don't consider that there is a vast land below, it is really a rare and spectacular scenery.

Before the rain came, Li Mu placed many tools for measuring and observing water depth nearby, and observed a circle with a telescope. The average water depth in most places was more than one meter, and the water depth in many places reached 1.5 meters.

It seems that there was a lot of rain this night. The average water depth was one or two feet yesterday, but it has reached this point today.

I took out my phone and looked at it. There was an unread message on WeChat. It was from Zhao Qing: "Are you up?"

Found the number and dialed it.

"Sister Qing, what's wrong? Is there water in the house?"

Zhao Qing said: "How do you know?"

Li Mu said: "The water outside is so deep now, and the terrain of the villa is not high. It would be abnormal if the water doesn't pour in."

Zhao Qing said with a sad face: "We were afraid yesterday that the water would come in and block the door and various places on the first floor. Unexpectedly, at about one o'clock in the middle of the night, the water seeped in and started to flow into the basement. We were afraid that something would happen.

What an accident, I didn’t sleep all night.”

Li Mu said: "What now?"

Zhao Qing said: "We are all staying on the third floor. The water level outside is so high that we don't dare to open the door on the first floor. The water is still seeping into the house. We don't know when it will end."

Li Mu said: "Probably the basement must be filled and the water level inside and outside the house should be consistent so that water from outside will not seep into the house."

Zhao Qing said: "What should we do? Now in the villa, there is the sound of water flowing into the basement everywhere."

Li Mu said: "If you want to stop hearing the sound, it's easy! Open the door and let the water fill the basement at once. If the water level inside and outside the house is the same, there will be no sound."

Zhao Qing hesitated and said: "But then the bottom floor will be flooded. As long as we don't open the door, seal the gaps, and rely on the water seeping in from the cracks in the door, it will take a long, long time to fill such a large basement. Maybe.

The rain will stop in a few days and I can hold on."

Li Mu said: "Then you can only hope that there will be no heavy rain in the next few days and the water level will not continue to rise. Just blocking the door is not enough, there are also windows! When the water level reaches the windows on the first floor, such a huge water pressure will

, you think the glass and windows can withstand it. Rainwater will inevitably flow into the house."

Zhao Qing was silent for a long time and said, "What should we do?"

Li Mu said: "The quality of the villa is not bad, and it has been reinforced. Let's give up the first floor and stay on the third floor until the heavy rain ends."

Zhao Qing fell silent.

…

After hanging up the phone, Sun Yuan's voice came: "Sir, breakfast is ready."

Li Mu said: "Okay!"

On the way to the restaurant, Sun Yuan kept chattering: "Sir, the temperature has dropped again today, it is now 32 degrees. I don't know when the rain will stop. It is said on the Internet that many places are flooded, and many mountainous areas are still flooded.

There was a mudslide."

Li Mu said: "With this kind of natural disaster, it's pretty good that the country can maintain this level and still have stable order."

"Looking at foreign countries, except for a few countries, everything is basically in chaos. Especially in the Philippines, the scene during the high temperature some time ago was really miserable."

…

Soon, another day passed. After a night of heavy rain, Li Mu stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window again, observing the entire city.

The water on the ground is deeper, with an average of about 1.5 meters, and in many places it exceeds 2 meters.

It can be said that the first floor of all the buildings was flooded, and no one was spared. The same was true for the villa. When Li Mu got up in the morning, he checked his WeChat messages. Zhao Qing sent a message in the early morning that as the water level rose, the doors and windows of the villa were finally opened.

Unable to hold on, water from outside poured in, and the huge basement was filled in less than a few minutes.

Zhao Qing and the others had never seen that scene and the fierce water flow before. They were frightened and feared that the villa would collapse. Fortunately, it passed quickly.

Now I am huddled on the third floor, waiting for the heavy rain to end and the flood to recede.

Li Mu used a telescope to observe the outside for a while. As the rain gradually subsided, several emergency rescue boats passed by nearby, delivering some supplies to everyone and maintaining important facilities.

Thanks to these people, otherwise, the mobile phone might have no signal.

Just like that, the day passed quickly again.

…

In the next two days, it continued to rain endlessly, with more than three meters of water on the road, and even more than four meters in some places.

The entire first floor was flooded, and water began to enter the second floor in many places.

Looking around with a telescope, there is water everywhere. Buildings and buildings are dotted on the water. They look so small and fragile, but they also carry the hope of mankind, and countless lives have been blessed as a result.

Looking at the continuous rain, Li Mu sighed softly. He didn't know when the heavy rain would end.

At night, shortly after falling asleep, I was awakened by the harsh ringtone of my cell phone. I took out my cell phone and looked at it. It turned out to be Zhao Qing.

Just as the call was connected, an anxious voice came.

"Hey, Li Mu, I'm sorry to bother you so late. We don't know what to do."

Li Mu said: "What's wrong? Aren't you on the third floor? The flood won't come up."

Zhao Qing said: "That's not it. The water has just reached the second floor. We are fine. I'm talking about lime..."

Li Mu said doubtfully: "Qing Ning..."

Zhao Qing said: "She is our elementary school girl. There are two elementary school girls living with us! Qing Ning is one of them."

Li Mu said: "What's wrong with her!"

Zhao Qing said in a tearful tone: "She has a high fever..."

Li Mu said: "I sent you a package of supplies, including medicines and antipyretics."

Zhao Qing said: "We know that we have already drunk it. Water started to enter the second floor yesterday. We were busy cleaning the second floor and the water dripped for a long time. When I woke up this morning, Qing Ning started to have a fever."

"I remember that the medicine you sent included antipyretics. I asked Qing Ning to drink some and take a nap, and the temperature temporarily dropped. At noon, the fever started again. This time the antipyretics didn't work anymore, and it has been maintained.

I have a low-grade fever, it’s raining so hard, and we don’t know how to deal with it.”

"Just now, we measured Qing Ning's temperature again. It's already close to 40 degrees. He's a bit feverish. Drinking anti-fever medicine won't help. If we delay any longer, we'll be in danger."

"But...but...the water outside is so deep now that we can't even send her to the hospital. We really can't think of a way. Li Mu, what should we do? We can't just watch her fever go down, but we really can't find a way."

He choked up when he said yes.

Li Mu said: "Don't panic yet, take good care of the patient, I will think of a way."

Zhao Qing said gratefully: "Thank you, thank you Li Mu!"

…

I hung up the phone, went to the floor-to-ceiling window, and looked at the rain curtain outside the window. The rain was not heavy, so it was easy to handle.

Sun Yuan heard the noise and walked over in her pajamas: "Sir, what happened?"

Li Mu said: "A girl living in the villa has a high fever and can't get rid of it!"

Sun Yuan was surprised and said: "Ah! I have a high fever, what should I do?"

Li Mu said: "Go and inform, let the helicopter pilot and two skilled security guards go to the top floor, and let the hospital get ready."

Sun Yuan said: "Okay, sir, I'll go right away..."

…

Ten minutes later, on the roof of the building, as the rain cover was lifted, a latest model civilian helicopter was revealed. Li Mu led the pilot and two security guards to lift a small air-cushion assault boat into the cabin.

Close the hatch.

Sun Yuan stood beside her holding an umbrella and said anxiously: "Sir, are you going too?"

Li Mu smiled: "What? You're still worried, it's okay!"

Sun Yuan said nervously: "But it's so dark..."

Li Mu said: "Don't worry, this is one of the most advanced civilian helicopters currently. It's just a little rain. It's nothing."

Sun Yuan could only watch helplessly as the cabin closed, the helicopter started, slowly took off, and flew towards the villa.

The building is not far from the villa, only a few kilometers away. Li Mu bought two adjacent villas. The smaller one is 700-800 square meters for a few girls. The larger one has a construction area of ​​1800 square meters.

After a long period of renovation, it is still empty.

However, as the king of the villa area, a mansion with such a large area is also equipped with various supporting facilities. The auxiliary building next to the main building originally had a small platform on the top. It was reinforced during the modification and can be used as a temporary stop for helicopters.

Ping.

The helicopter was very fast. Even though it was raining lightly, it still flew over the villa area after a few minutes.

Li Mu had notified several girls in advance. They obviously saw the helicopter and ran to the balcony, waving and calling loudly.

Not only them, there were many people living in the villa area. Seeing that it kept raining and the water rose higher and higher, they all began to worry. Suddenly they saw a helicopter and heard several girls shouting. They thought it was...

They were rescue workers sent by the government. Many people ran to the balcony, waving their hands and shouting.
To be continued...
