"Brother, why are you dragging me? I haven't given him the key yet." As soon as she entered the house, Jian Ning broke away from Jian Anping's hand holding her arm and pouted unhappily.

"Where is it? I'll send it to him. This kid looks like a pretty boy. Stay away from him from now on."

'Brother, you are so awesome.' Jian Ning stamped her foot, took out the key from the drawer at the door, and gave one copy to Jian Anping. She asked him to send the other copy to Xiao Lingfeng.

By the way, I told him that from now on, the last door will be powered on every day. If you use the stairs, it is best to use the intercom to notify you in advance.

Jian Anping tapped Jian Ning's forehead with her finger, then took the key and went out, not forgetting to close all the doors for her.

Looking at the continuous heavy rain outside the house, Jian Ning simply took out a fried chicken set meal from the space, sat by the window, drank Coke, looked at the rain curtain, and ate heavily.

When you bite into it, the chicken wings are crispy and delicious. It's incredibly delicious. These days I eat stews and stir-fries, and it’s very satisfying to improve my meals like this once in a while.

When night fell, the circuits in the city finally couldn't bear the load, and large-scale power outages began. Soon after, the water supply also stopped. Only natural gas is still available.

The network also became intermittent. Jian Ning did not turn on her own generator, but told Jian Anping that it was okay to turn on the air conditioner, but try not to turn on the lights.

After all, the whole city was dark, and the lights on their house were really dazzling.

The floodwaters continue to rise, and the corridors are now full of quarrels. In the sultry weather, it is difficult for people to stay calm. After a while, Jian Ning heard yelling and cursing in the corridor outside.

"Who installed this fence gate? Is it immoral? I want to go to the top of the building and have a look.

What do you, the residents on the 16th floor, mean by locking the door? Open it quickly, this corridor does not belong to your home. "A sharp female voice kept shouting.

Jian Ning pretended not to hear. I regret not installing a soundproof door, but I was still not prepared enough. The elevator is unable to operate due to the power outage. These people must have watched the water rising higher and higher downstairs, so they wanted to go directly to the top floor.

At this time, the intercom on the table rang, and Xiao Lingfeng's pleasant voice came over: "Miss Jian, tell your brother to try not to sleep tonight and be alert."

"Okay, thanks for the reminder, I see."

Jian Ning glanced at the dark rain outside the window and estimated the time in her mind. The flash flood caused by the heavy rainfall was probably tonight or tomorrow morning.

Pick up the yellow paper you bought and start drawing the symbols. This building withstood the test of floods in my previous life, but it is hard to say this time. To be on the safe side,

She still drew dozens of talismans to strengthen the house, and went out and pasted them on the wall of the corridor. I even put a lot of stickers on the four walls of my house, and I felt more at ease.

He stopped practicing, so he took a big watermelon and went over to play backgammon with Jian Anping's family to kill time. Although the lights were not turned on, there were several candles lit in the room.

Even with the blackout curtains, no light from the room could be seen outside.

It wasn't until about nine o'clock in the evening that I suddenly heard a banging sound on the wall outside, and the whole building shook.

"What's wrong? Is this an earthquake?" Jian Anping jumped up suddenly, holding Li Mengyao's hand and trying to run out.

"It's not an earthquake, it should be a flood caused by a flash flood." Jian Ning spoke in a very calm voice.

Several people in the room crowded to the window and looked downstairs.

The rain outside has lightened up a lot now. With the moonlight in the sky,

You can see the overwhelming waves coming from outside. It's actually as high as eight or nine floors. The sixteenth floor they were on now felt very close to the water.

There were countless vehicles and trees stuck in the water, and many invisible things were hitting the buildings on both sides of the road.

"God, will this water flood our building?" Aunt Li was so frightened that her hands and feet began to tremble.

Suddenly she collapsed on the ground. In such a long life, this was the first time she had seen such a huge flood. The whole building kept shaking, and there were bursts of screams and calls for help coming from downstairs.

Jian Anping also turned pale and held Li Mengyao's hand tightly, not daring to let go.

"Dad, Mom, bring some food and put on the life jackets. Let's go to the attic. I bought a lifeboat. If this building cannot be saved, we have to find a way to survive."

After all, Jian Anping is a man, more responsible, and quite calm when things happen.

"Yes, yes, I'll get food right now. Let's go up to the attic together. Old man, please help me. My legs are so weak that I can't walk now."

Aunt Li kept mumbling. With the help of Uncle Li and Jian Ning, they finally made it to the attic.

Everyone put on life jackets, and each person took a large bag of biscuits, bread, ham sausages and several bottles of mineral water. These are life-saving things. Jian Anping tied them up several times with large plastic bags, tightly They were all tied to several people.

Then the whole family sat on the lifeboat and waited quietly for the moment when the flood rushed in.

Jian Ning actually wanted to say that there was no need at all. As long as she was here, the house would not be washed in by the flood. But he couldn't speak, so he thought about it and let it go. It would be good to give them a sense of crisis.

The two old people who couldn't stand it first were so sleepy that they couldn't keep their eyes open after eleven o'clock.

I just lay down on the lifeboat and squinted for a while.

Jian Ning sat directly on the lifeboat and closed her eyes and started practicing. She knew that Jian Anping would definitely not agree to her going back to her own home, so she did not bring it up.

The wind was howling outside, and the sharp sounds made people panic, not to mention that the building would shake for a while, but fortunately it never tilted or fell. It seems that the quality of this building is still passable.

Jian Anping kept his eyes open until dawn. Watching the sun rise outside and the wind and rain showing signs of stopping, he got up and walked to the window to take a look.

The outermost layer of glass in the attic was shattered by something, and it was as cracked as a spider web.

Thanks to Jian Ning adding three layers of bulletproof and explosion-proof glass inside, this is much stronger than the one that comes with the house. The money was not wasted and nothing happened. Completely blocked the invasion of floods.

The water downstairs has calmed down now, but it still seems to have reached the sixth or seventh floors. The water is very turbid, and human corpses are floating faintly on top. Not one, but many.

This made Jian Anping tremble in his heart. This human life was too fragile. At this moment, he was extremely grateful to his sister.

If she hadn't decisively sold the house in her hometown and rented it here, the repair shop where he used to live would have perished in the flood along with her.
