"Director, why don't you go over and take a rest?" Li Sa advised.
Director Li said in a hoarse voice: "No, I have a walkie-talkie here. If the people trapped below contact me, I can tell the rescue team as soon as possible."
Jiang Qin, who had already gotten into the car, said: "Director, the people who went out for search and rescue just now are carrying my communicator. They can contact our people."
Li Saze continued to persuade: "Director, you have a rash on your face. Do you want to find some water to wash your face first? There is a water source in the property preparation room in the common area of the villa..."
Director Li actually felt unwell, and everyone was trying to persuade him. He also thought that his wife's car was still broken down halfway, and he must not get into trouble, so he finally stopped holding on.
Several people were dragged to the porch of unit 1 of building 1 by Li Sa. The property employee swiped the card to open the unit door and entered the foyer.
The foyer of the bungalow occupies a small half of the floor, and there are even some sofas for guests and the owner to relax and chat. The property employees were covered in water stains and did not dare to get close to the indoor furniture. They sat or leaned in a row near the property service desk. The floor is paved with stone and ceramic tiles. It is easier to clean if it gets wet, and it does not affect the owner's access to the elevator hall.
The front desk of the foyer is paved with stone, and behind it is the preparation room for the property management staff.
Li Sa heard from Jiang Mei that this preparation room has water supply and drainage, and each unit has it. When cleaning the common area of the bungalow, the cleaning department can just collect and pour water directly from here. When I actually opened the door here, I saw that the place was quite big. There were cleaning tools, mops and rags, as well as some emergency items.
The property employees took matters into their own hands, first gathering all the ponchos here and washing them in the pool, and everyone took turns washing their heads and faces. After a while, the car will come to pick you up, and you can get on and off directly at the awning outside the unit door, without having to put on a poncho.
Li Sa looked at the door of the bungalow unit where there were three steps between the indoor and outdoor levels, and felt relieved for the moment.
The bungalow area itself is located on a relatively high ground in the villa area. Unlike the clubhouse, which pursues barrier-free access design, the indoor and outdoor height difference on the first floor of the bungalow is designed according to that of a normal residential building, with special barrier-free ramps. If there is a regular heavy rain and the water is not deep, there will be no rainwater entering the unit door room at all.
Seeing that everyone was settling in by themselves, Li Sa asked Director Li for instructions: "Director, the owner I just met asked me to go to 402 of this building to help. I'll go up and see what's going on."
At this time, other employees said: "I just saw that no one in this building seems to have lights on. Doesn't the elevator hall and public area have electricity? It's strange."
Jiang Qin said: "I know a little bit about water and electricity, director, or else I should go check and see if there is a problem with the household's circuit. Just now, Captain Wang said that several owners of the bungalow had reported circuit repairs, and we did not respond immediately. Come here and take a look."
The elevator has reached the first floor, and the elevator door slowly opens.
Li Sa's terminal rang suddenly. When she saw that the call was from Li Tianya, she felt a little uneasy. She grabbed Jiang Qin and said, "How about we go up the stairs? If there is a power outage, we are trapped in the elevator. To trouble others.”
Jiang Qin also knew that it was indeed unsafe to take the elevator under abnormal circumstances such as heavy rains, power outages, fires, etc. Now he came to his senses, took a few breaths, and walked to the stairwell, preparing to check the owner's electric shaft floor by floor.
Li Sa walked aside and answered the phone first, then asked in a low voice: "Mr. Li, what's the matter?"
"Where are you? Why haven't you arrived yet?" Li Tianya's voice sounded anxious.
"I was downstairs. Just as I was about to get on the elevator, your call came."
Li Tianya said hurriedly: "Don't take the elevator, run upstairs quickly. Is there anyone else with you? Let them all go upstairs quickly."
"what happened?"
"It is said on the Internet that the nearby river has washed away a section of its embankment, and the network and power there have been cut off. The river is in the northwest corner of the community, and our community is downstream. There are gaps in the walls and wrought iron gates, which cannot stop the influx of floods. , the surrounding walls are like pools." Li Tianya said in a deep voice, "Quick! I see from the window that the direction of the river bank in the distance is not quite right. You should climb higher first to be safe."
Li Sa stopped talking and greeted Director Li: "Director, tell everyone to go upstairs first, hurry up!"
After that, she didn't explain, and quickly called Jiang Mei through the walkie-talkie: "Sister Jiang, you guys should go to the highest place of the club, the second floor rooftop or you can go up to the top of the second floor, grab the wooden pontoons or the like, the river embankment The dam broke and floods came."
Jiang Mei was still asking questions, and Li Sa didn't bother to answer. He hung up the communication first and asked Director Li: "Can you contact the rescue team? Let them seek shelter at high places first. The river burst its banks and the water rushed over."
Director Li and several other property employees were feeling unwell and originally sat there without wanting to move. Seeing how nervous Li Sa looked, no one dared to take it as a joke.
Director Li made a quick decision and waved his arms to greet everyone: "Everyone go upstairs first!"
After saying that, Director Li did not go to the stairwell. Instead, he closed the unit door first, took out the flood prevention materials on the first floor, and blocked the crack in the door. If there is a large amount of water coming, these water-blocking sandbags can still support it for a period of time.
At this time, except for Li Sa, everyone could imagine the flood, that is, the rain was heavier than usual, and the water twenty or thirty centimeters above the ground would pour into the first floor. Everyone didn't move that fast. They helped each other to the resting platform in the stairwell on the second floor and stopped. They were exhausted from the rescue and no longer wanted to move up.
When Li Sa saw that everyone was not going up, Director Li couldn't persuade her, so she gave up and said she would go to the fourth floor to help the owner and climbed up to the fourth floor alone.
When she entered 402, she saw that Zhou Ming was no longer in the living room, only Li Tianya was waiting at the door.
After Li Sa entered the house, Li Tianya locked the door and stuffed a layer of plastic sheet in the crack of the door. He asked, "Have all the property employees come to higher places?"
"The people I can shout are all on the second floor of this building. There are still some people over there in the clubhouse. I have told them to go to the top."
Li Tianya said: "I told the owner group, but no one believed me. Those owners who live in villas can't see that far, and some people said that I spread rumors and should report it."
"The flow of the river won't be too big, right? At most one floor will be flooded. Some of the villas in the community have three floors. There is always somewhere to run." Li Sa would never say that she had seen the entire community in her previous life. Even the roof of the villa is submerged under water.
"Have you added Zhou Ming's account just now?" Li Tianya suddenly asked.
Li Sa asked doubtfully: "No, isn't Brother Zhou here? You can find him as your friend."
"He just went out wearing waders and a raincoat." Li Tianya said, "The boss used other devices to contact me before, and we didn't use the terminal to add friends. He probably didn't want me to know his live broadcast room number."
Li Sa also felt that Zhou Ming had many secrets.
Just now, Zhou Ming fell from the fourth floor balcony, and it looked like he was seriously injured. It didn't take long for him to be able to move freely again? So Zhou Ming might have been pretending to be weak before, trying to see if she had any malicious intentions? If she didn't take care of him obediently but took advantage of him, or if she didn't obediently hand over her panties to express her willingness to join the gang, then Zhou Ming would probably immediately turn against him and teach her a lesson.
When Li Sa was secretly rejoicing, the flood had already spread downstairs.
