It rained heavily all night.

The outdoor temperature has returned to normal, remaining at around 27 degrees Celsius, and the air is no longer as muggy as before.

People regard this rain as hope, firmly believing that order will soon be restored and the days of fear will end.

Those residents who had gone out to escape the summer also moved back with their families, happily waiting for the officials to provide them with help.

The gang of robbers is also watching.

Not all members of their gang are heinous villains, some of them have never harmed any residents so far.

But just because you haven't been hurt doesn't mean you are innocent.

They were afraid that the government would settle accounts in the future, so they did not dare to act as aggressively as before and waited uneasily for the soldiers to arrive.

Waiting and waiting, waiting until the rain flooded the first floor, waiting until people could not go out on foot, there was no sign of a helicopter, let alone the soldiers they were afraid to face.

Guessing that they would most likely not be able to come, the gang regained their strength and took their younger brother to the "Fat Sheep" house to check in.

Even the shelved beauty trap is put on the agenda.

Yao Chengwei, who was in charge of "seduction", was wandering in the corridor for the eighth time when he finally met the girl in a white dress who came to strike up a conversation.

"Hey.?" Yu Qingxi patted him on the shoulder and jumped in front of him playfully: "Are you also out to throw away garbage?"

Yao Chengwei turned around.

He looked at her nonchalantly and had to admit that what Brother Zhou said was right.

She is indeed his type.

"Yes." He raised a smile, as if he was unsuspecting of her: "Do you live upstairs? Why haven't I seen you?"

"Yes." Yu Qingxi said that she lived on the 28th floor: "It was too hot before. I was afraid of getting a heat stroke, so I rarely went out."

"It's really hot. My skin is peeling from the sun."

"Is the skin peeling off your arms?"

"There is also the back of the neck." Yao Chengwei raised his arm to show her, and said helplessly: "It will probably take a long time to recover."

"Why don't you apply some vitamin E milk?"

"Does that work?"

"Yes." Yu Qingxi talked about the benefits of e-breasts, and inadvertently moved close to his arm, closing the distance between them.

Yao Chengwei pretended not to notice.

He and Yu Qingxi chatted for a while, exchanged names before leaving, and agreed to take out the garbage together at this time tomorrow.

After repeating this for three days, Yu Qingxi's admiration became more obvious. He also pretended to fall in love with her at first sight and treated her seriously with an attitude of preparing for a relationship.

When they expressed their "sincerity" to each other, rainwater flooded the second floor and the residents were so miserable that they had no choice but to move their families away.

Fortunately, there are still vacancies on the sixth and seventh floors, so they don't have to worry about having no place to settle, they are just worried about the same problem.

─Their food surplus is almost exhausted.

It was known that everything below the second floor was submerged, and they were unable to drive. Only boats could take them out to find supplies.

But who has a boat?

"Young man." An old lady pulled Yao Chengwei, who was making love in the corridor, "Do you have a boat on the 26th floor?"

"No."

"Then do you know who owns it?"

Yao Chengwei shook his head.

Seeing that he didn't seem to be hiding anything, Yu Qingxi kindly said to his aunt: "People who like outdoor sports may have it."

In the end, you still have to ask.

The aunt waved her hands and bowed downstairs.

Not long after she disappeared around the corner, Yao Chengwei finished his emotional class and was busy discussing the boat with Wen Qizhou and the others.

Five people were sitting on the sofa in 2601, and he made a suggestion: "I think we can use the bed planks to make a simple boat."

"Quilts are also okay." Yuan Chuan saw others doing it on the short video platform: "But there must be enough plastic wrap."

"That's worse than a bed board."

Hearing them talking about the reinforced bed boat, Chi Yue interrupted in time: "Don't bother, we have a rubber boat at home."

"real?!!"

Zhao Peng slapped his thigh twice and was so excited that he wanted to jump up: "How many people can fit in that rubber boat of yours?"

"Four or five."

"Great!" Yuan Chuan was also happy: "The rubber boat can row farther, and it will be easier for us to go out to find supplies and find a boat."

Chi Yue has no idea of ​​going out for the time being.

She pretended to go into the storage room to get the boat: "The 26th floor cannot be empty. Qizhou and I will keep watch at home. You go find it first."

"That's okay." Yuan Chuan said that he would bring them another one when he comes back: "If this thing is punctured by something in the water and it's hard to repair, we'd better prepare two boats for each family."

Yao Chengwei and Zhao Peng nodded immediately.

They had participated in water sports before, so they knew where the boats were, and asked eagerly: "Shall we leave tonight?"

"The visibility is too low at night." Wen Qizhou raised his chin toward the window: "I suggest you set off tomorrow morning."

Traveling by boat is not as solid as having your feet on the ground.

The crises they will face are no longer limited to robbery gangs, but also the possibility of being hit by debris in the water and animals.

When he thought of animals, he put on a serious expression and reminded the three of them: "Also, you must not go near the stadium."

"Why?"

“The stadium is very close to Ocean Park.”

The three of them looked confused and didn't understand what he wanted to express. Chi Yue asked: "What's in Ocean Park?"

"There are dolphins, sharks, crocodiles - oh my! You mean, the animals in the ocean park escaped?"

"Very possible."

There is no shortage of water in the ocean park. Even if there are no keepers to feed them, they can still eat each other to stay full.

Chi Yue was "lucky" to be chased by a crocodile.

The situation at that time was extremely dangerous. If she hadn't hit the oar on its head, one of her arms would have been bitten off.

Even now I feel shocked when I think about it.

She picked up the glass: "But don't worry too much, as long as you don't go that way, you won't encounter it for the time being."

"...What happens next?"

"It all depends on luck from now on."

Yao Chengwei swallowed.

When he thought that he might meet an ocean overlord in the near future, all the blood in his body flowed backwards.

He held Yuan Chuan's hand tightly: "Brother Chuan, let's get more supplies back this time! We will go out less often in the future."

"Okay." Yuan Chuan had a sullen face and was worried about meeting those guys: "I'll go downstairs and inform Liu Xiong that we'll go together tomorrow."

"Then I'll go home and make two harpoons."

"..."

They left in a hurry, made the most adequate preparations in a short period of time, and set off by boat at dawn.

In order to prevent them from being blocked downstairs, Chi Yue and Wen Qizhou took advantage of the time to go downstairs at noon, ready to help.

The rainwater flooded the stairs leading to the third floor. The residents living on the third floor had moved out, leaving only swarms of cockroaches and rats running around in every house.

Animal feces can be seen everywhere and the corridors are full of sour smell, giving people a sense of being in a garbage dump.

Chi Yue tightened the ties of her mask, raised her foot and crushed the two cockroaches that crawled onto the toes of her shoes. She followed Wen Qizhou's footsteps and walked into a house with an open door, waiting quietly.

Not long after, two rubber boats passed through the rain curtain one after another, carrying loads of supplies and stopped at the smashed floor-to-ceiling window.

"Have you gained so much? Not bad." She and Wen Qizhou came forward together and helped drag the two rubber boats into the house.

Liu Xiong smiled and said: "I'm lucky today. I found the rubber boat and food near their school in Chengwei."

"Did you encounter any danger on the way?"

"No."

"That's good." Wen Qizhou first deflated the rubber boat, then tied up the supplies with them and worked together to move upstairs.

As soon as we got to the fourth floor, we met Sister He who was spraying insecticide in the corridor. She looked at the supplies in everyone's hands and her eyes lit up: "Where did you find the boat? Can you lend it to me?"

"Huaishu Street." Yuan Chuan weighed the carton twice and met her expectant eyes: "I can borrow it, but you have to give me supplies."
