As he spoke, the flood was already close at hand.
This time the flood not only carried ordinary construction debris, but also some ships upstream. The boats and the materials they were transporting were originally intended to support river bank repairs, but the entire boat was swept down by the sudden acceleration of the water.
It was as if someone had dumped the water saved from the two weeks of heavy rains from further upstream, or as if a huge barrier lake had collapsed and suddenly released water into the river.
The floodwaters were running wildly, and several ships made of steel, like paper boats wandering on the creek, hit and destroyed everything above the water without control.
More buildings collapsed, building debris turned into deadly weapons.
Li Sa knew she couldn't watch anymore. The sound of floods rang in her ears, and the smell of moisture filled her mouth and nose. She struggled to close the door of the elevator room and squeezed into a windowless corner with the other two people.
The elevator machine room of the bungalow is located on the top floor, five or six meters above the roof platform. After entering, looking up, it looks like a large LOFT space. In order to bear the weight of the elevator car and counterweights, the structure here is obviously stronger than elsewhere in the building, with huge steel beams exposed in the open.
There has been a power outage for many days, and the elevator car has long been submerged in the water. Now only the huge iron block with counterweight hangs high in the elevator machine room.
Yao Feier carefully observed the facilities in the room and the shadows caused by the light, pointed to a place on the beam and said: "There seems to be something wrong here, there is a large thing hidden, and there is a problem with the refraction angle of light and shadow. "
Most people first need to understand what the normal angle of light and shadow looks like, but Yao Feier's eyes are like advanced laser distance measuring equipment. Just by looking at it and turning the angle with a flashlight, she mentally calculates that she can't see it. the size of that object.
She said: "There is a long box of more than one cubic meter on the beam. One of you can go up and touch it. You can observe the position of the light and shadow, and you may be able to touch the shape of the object."
Li Sa said: "It should be Zhou Ming's supplies. We will wait for him to come and ask."
Li Tianya also agreed with this inference and added: "When we were stocking up in the past two weeks, Brother Zhou did take some supplies and they should have been scattered to various places to stay."
At this time Zhou Ming came back empty-handed and said: "Xiao Yao's eyes are quite sharp. Yes, there are some supplies stored on it. I will take them out when needed. I can't fit our big ship. When we collect the garbage, I tied the ship's anchor and hoped the structure of the building would hold up."
Yao Feier said worriedly: "Have you fixed the anchor to our building? This building may not be able to withstand the impact and lateral pull of the water flow."
Zhou Ming said: "It's tied to the bungalow next door. If that side collapses, it shouldn't affect us. The distance between the two buildings is large enough."
In the space of two sentences, the huge noise has swallowed up the surrounding world.
Li Sa could feel the whole building trembling, and her heartbeat was pounding harder than before. Fortunately, the elevator machine room is located in the relatively core part of the entire building, so the damage and impact of the exterior wall are not so intuitive here.
After waiting for the building to stop shaking, Zhou Ming easily jumped onto the huge steel beam, looked out through the high window, and said: "The water level has risen to the fifth floor. The various garbage and debris carried in the flood have broken through the five floors. Some of the windows on the sixth floor are stuck on the exterior wall of the building.”
Li Sa was worried about Director Li and others who were left behind on the sixth floor, and asked, "How is the sixth floor? Is the damage serious?"
Yao Feier asked: "Is the building next door still there?"
The viewers in the 404 live broadcast room were amused by this question:
[What a cold sense of humor. Just now, Mr. Zhou said that he tied the boat to the building next door, but in the blink of an eye, the flood came even more violently. ]
[This flood is worse than a week ago. Can the bungalow they live in really support it? ]
[It’s very interesting to be new to Loli. I’m going to betray the broadcaster and go to the Loli live broadcast room. ]
[Upstairs, I like the new and dislike the old. The podcaster is prettier than the lolita. ]
[You are all too superficial. What I care about is the mind of the broadcaster. ]
[In terms of knowledge reserve, I think the podcaster is still not as good as Dr. Loli. ]
[Then what are you still here to see? ]
[I just like to see ordinary people struggling to survive. Aren't you here to watch the poor man's unlucky story in the first place? ]
[It seems to make sense. ]
What Li Tianya wanted to ask was similar to the two people, but he was more calm and thinking about whether the water level would drop this time. This is only the third week, there will be a fourth week. Even if the sixth floor is not flooded this time, what about the fourth week? And will the last two days of the time limit be more terrifying?
Zhou Ming said: "The building next door is still there, but the anchor is pulling on the pillar over there, so it's a little dangling."
At this time, thunder exploded, and suddenly it was windy and rainy outside.
The rain this time was about the same as the previous two weeks, but the wind was like crazy, like an ocean or a hurricane passing by, and huge waves rolled up on the water.
Zhou Ming said: "The wind is too strong, don't think about the ship, let's take stock of the current supplies."
Li Sa asked: "Do we want to rescue the things on the fourth floor?"
Yao Feier said: "More than half of my space is filled with daily necessities, which is probably enough for the four of us for a week. A few computers and a portable generator are stuffed in the remaining space, but there is no place to stuff gasoline."
Li Tianya continued: "The only thing missing is the gasoline. That thing is well sealed. When we use it, we will go to the fourth floor to salvage it. You can take it as you go."
Zhou Ming continued to observe the surroundings on the steel beam for a while, then went down to the ground with a solemn expression and took a small box of things in his hand. He said: "There is a cover on the steel beam. The materials are there and you can touch them. I will take some down first."
By this time everyone's belongings had been counted.
Li Sa said: "The savings we brought with us are enough to last for two or three days. The supplies stored by Director Li on the sixth floor can last the three of them for more than a week."
"That's good. It is estimated that there will be survivors floating over one after another. Our building is still on the water within a radius of two kilometers." Zhou Ming reminded, "Xiao Li, please ask Director Li to say hello in advance. There are only so many supplies. , you should consider how to deal with them when you take them in."
Li Sa agreed verbally, but knew in his heart that with Director Li's character, he would probably save people at all costs. Although they don't have a boat now, there will always be lucky ones who wash up near the bungalow. When those people recover, they will naturally ask for help. Director Li will not ignore death. Even if he knows that there are not many supplies, he will find a way to save people first.
Yao Fei'er guessed that Zhou Ming's purpose of only taking a small amount of supplies was not to guard against the property management people, but because he was afraid that the property management people would know that there were still goods in stock, thinking that there would be enough supplies and he would save anyone.
She suggested: "Then the three of us will move to the sixth floor of the property. In name, we are helping and sheltering, but in fact, we are also checking for them. If there are any hidden dangers, we can discover them in time and deal with them early." (This chapter over)
