Gu Tongwan was not sure how long the flood discharge period lasted, but he remembered that in his previous life, Jiangcheng became a vast ocean a week after the flood discharge, and even the higher places were severely damaged.

As early as around five in the morning, people sleeping on the sixth floor discovered that the water level, which had originally only reached the stairs on the fifth floor, suddenly rose, and then basically flooded one floor every half an hour.

Those who were sleeping on the seventh and eighth floors and had not yet moved saw people on the sixth floor running upstairs in panic with only a few backpacks.

Originally, there were only people sleeping at the doors of residents on the 6th to 12th floors, but suddenly, floors 11 to 18 were filled with people. However, when they wanted to push open the door to the emergency passage on the 16th floor, for some reason they couldn't push it open. As a result, they had to give up the 16th floor and go to the 17th floor.

In fact, it was 5:30 in the morning, and Jiang Chi, who had not yet fallen asleep, found that the water level seemed to be rising. After thinking for a while, he went out and put the security door they had replaced earlier across the original security door. With the security door weighing hundreds of pounds blocking the way, it was not an easy task to push it open from the outside. Not only that, he also added a U-shaped lock to the original security door himself.

The property staff on the 15th floor were also awakened by the noise in the morning. After realizing that the water level was abnormal, they immediately organized personnel to count the number of people on each floor. Currently, there are a total of 80 households in the entire community, with a total of more than 160 people who are homeless and have to temporarily live in the corridors and safety staircases.

After Jiang Tian confirmed through the peephole that there was no one outside, she immediately opened the door, walked to Gu Tongwan's door and knocked.

Jiang Tian heaved a sigh of relief after seeing Gu Tongwan, and then asked with concern: "Sister Gu, my brother went to knock on the door last night but didn't see you respond, and the phone was disconnected from the Internet, so I thought something happened to you."

Gu Tongwan smiled faintly and said, "Maybe I was sleeping too soundly and didn't notice someone knocking on the door." After that, he glanced at the locked security door and said, "Even if that door is locked, it probably won't last long."

Jiang Tian smiled bitterly and said, "We have to lock the door. Don't you know that those people wanted to rush in with their bags and sleep over here last night?

Gu Tongwan turned his head and thought about the situation after the flood in the previous life, and said, "It shouldn't be. It looks like the rain is going to stop. Compared with the space of more than ten square meters between our doors, the corridor is more spacious. Besides, the rescue team has already taken away a group of people in our building last time, so the number of people shouldn't be too many."

Jiang Tian nodded thoughtfully, but she was still worried. She thought about how she heard people going up and down before dawn this morning, and then banging on the door and clamoring to ask them to unlock the lock.

Jiang Zhi didn't let her leave the house at that time. He just coldly said "No opening", which immediately angered those who were knocking on the door, especially a middle-aged man. He got red in the eyes and scolded them for being cold-blooded and heartless on the 16th floor, and having no neighborly feelings at all. He also said that he would work with the property management to drive them out. In the end, he became more and more angry and kicked the door. Many people followed behind to make a fuss, but the doors of general safety passages are made of very thick door panels, which cannot be destroyed without special equipment. Therefore, these people kicked their feet so hard that their feet hurt, but the door did not move at all.

Perhaps because they saw that Jiang Chi was still unmoved and everyone else had already gone upstairs, this family followed and left, cursing.

Jiang Tian couldn't imagine that if there was no door, every time she opened the door in the future, there would be strangers on the ground. The thought of this feeling made her feel sick.

Jiang Tian was still chatting with Gu Tongwan at the door when there was a knock on the door at the stairs. The knocking was restrained, without any banging.

"Owners on the 16th floor, can you hear me? I am the property manager of the Zijing Community here, and I have a situation I want to discuss with you."

Jiang Tian couldn't decide whether to open the door or not. Her brother had been busy all morning and was still sleeping in the bedroom. She didn't want to disturb him, so her eyes fell on Gu Tongwan. For some reason, she sometimes felt that Gu Tongwan had a more calming aura than her brother.

Gu Tongwan walked over and said calmly through a door: "What's the matter? Tell me now."

Liu Feng was relieved when he heard someone replying to him. He thought no one would reply to him even if he shouted at the top of his lungs. But when he heard a female voice, he remembered that the residents on the 16th floor seemed to be renters. He cheered up and continued, "It's like this. The community should have lost power and internet last night, and the flood quickly rose six floors. We are worried that it will be dangerous if it continues. We specially came to remind everyone not to sleep too deeply at night. It's best to observe the water level every two hours. Also, we plan to hold an owners' meeting for the residents on the 18th floor in a few days. Our building will be held the day after tomorrow night. I will combine the situation of the entire community and the opinions of the owners of other buildings to hold a brief meeting. One person from each household will be fine."

After Liu Feng finished speaking, he only heard a "hmm". After waiting for a while, he still didn't hear the other party continue speaking. He could only walk down in boredom. In the case of a complete network outage, he could only knock on the doors one floor at a time to notify people.

After Gu Tongwan heard the footsteps gradually fading away, he did not hear any other sounds in the corridor. It should be that after the rain stopped, other people moved to the corridor in the public area as a shelter. After all, as long as it doesn't rain and the rain doesn't drift in, the space over there is still relatively spacious.

Jiang Tian looked at her nervously. She knew the little girl was afraid. After all, she was only sixteen years old and had not yet graduated from school when she encountered a natural disaster. Naturally, her form could not change as fast as that of an adult. So she said softly, "It's okay. Remember to inform your brother about the owners' meeting the day after tomorrow when you go back."

"Yeah." Jiang Tian nodded quickly like a little white rabbit.

Gu Tongwan returned to the house and scooped about four liters of water from the plastic bucket that was used to connect tap water and poured it into the concave and convex basins respectively.

Although it is best for pets not to drink tap water containing impurities, now is the end of the world. If this continues, the water supply will only become more and more tight. In the future, they will need to face the threats from the external environment alone and learn to find water sources. Even the water outside may not be as good as the current tap water. Therefore, it is even more necessary for them to adapt to such an environment and change their physical constitution in advance.

Back then, she was able to survive by relying on rainwater and sewage. I’m afraid that Aoao and Tutu have stronger adaptability than her.

Looking at the two or four-month-old puppy whose size has caught up with the largest Siberian wolf in the world, Gu Tongwan's gaze fell on Mint on the balcony which was still motionless. He still felt vaguely uneasy in his heart, it was too quiet.

She took out another 30 kilograms of meat from the space and threw it to the two little ones, then stayed in the space to check the current supply situation. She had to count the losses during the rainstorm and the goods received tonight after a period of time, otherwise if she just kept taking things away, she would eventually run out of supplies.
