Chapter 50 Heavy Rain 1
  "Boom!!"

A bolt of lightning suddenly pierced the sky, and deafening thunder sounded on the ground.

Big raindrops "crackled" fell from the sky.

The car parked outside the Repulse Bay Community began to squeak.

In the community, everyone who had been hiding at the entrance of the underground parking lot to observe carefully also rushed into the rain with crazy and excited faces.

Some people were dancing and cheering, while others were so happy that they started to cry.

The tears running down my face were either salty tears or bitter rain.

"Ahhh! It's raining!!!"

"md! God's eyes are open!"

"Husband! Thank God! We are finally saved!!!"

"."

Some people even ignored the various garbage remaining on the ground and fell directly on their backs. They closed their eyes and opened their dry and flaky lips to absorb the rainwater bit by bit.

More than a thousand people were crowded underground in the sweltering heat and had not had a shower for more than 20 days.

The sour smell on their bodies was worse than the garbage on the ground.

Some people hold it with both hands and feed it to their mouths.

The rain is bitter and hard to swallow, but the mood after the disaster is sweet and mellow.

Everyone's emotions stayed in the excitement of the end of the high temperature, and no one realized that this was actually just the beginning of another more serious natural disaster.

“Neighbors, this rainwater may contain bacteria, so don’t drink it!!”

"I heard that the authorities sprayed drugs to disinfect the whole city just two days ago. Be careful that the water is poisonous!!"

"Yes, and the ashes of burned people floating everywhere in the past few days, please bear with me and don't drink it!!"

“I don’t know if the bloody mosquitoes that died in the past two days carried germs. Please be careful because there are parasites!!!”

"Could this rain be coming from the island country? Be careful that there are radioactive residues! Everyone, please take shelter first!"

"."

There are many elderly people trying to persuade me.

But it couldn't stop the people who were already extremely hungry.

They had had no water for several days.

The supplies sent by the officials yesterday were only some compressed biscuits and canned luncheon meat, without water.

The whole city, or rather the whole world, is short of water.

Some were even forced to drink yellow urine.

The meager amount of condensation water on the outdoor units of several air conditioners was used as meat and potatoes.

But naturally it was secretly retained by people from the property management and owners' committees.

So compared to dying of thirst, the so-called ashes in the rain are nothing.

Just take it as a calcium supplement.

As for the radiation, it was something evil that I had never heard of before.

It's going to rain, and my mother is going to get married.

If you really want to hit the road, then hit it.

The tragic experience during this period made everyone feel a little depressed.

"The high temperature should be over. Let's go home first! It's easy to get sick if you get exposed to too much rain!" The person who spoke was Zhang Qiming.

"Yes, go home first. It's not impossible for everyone to drink rainwater! Take a basin to catch it, and filter it with cloth, cotton, or charcoal at home before drinking!" A young man with dark circles under his eyes suggested. The rain is still falling harder and harder.

It can no longer be described as Douda.

It was like a hole had fallen in the sky, and the water was pouring down like pillars.

In just a few minutes, streams of water quickly accumulated on the ground.

The pool in the middle, which was temporarily used as a cremator, was originally filled with a mountain-like pile of ashes, but now it was all scattered by the rain.

In some places, the water is so deep that it directly submerges the ankles.

Finally, after confirming that the high temperature would not return, the people living in the underground shelter began to pack their luggage and head home.

Electricity and Internet are still missing, but nothing can stop the feeling of wanting to go home.

Especially in such a rainy weather, nothing is more important than going home.

Several security guards at the property had already opened the locks on the unit doors in the fifth building.

"Everyone, all men, please stay here for a while!" As everyone was about to leave the garden and go back to their respective buildings, property manager Liu Dahong suddenly stopped everyone.

Most of the people turned their heads and pretended not to hear. A few young guys and a few middle-aged men looked at him with confused eyes: "Manager Liu, what's wrong?"

Liu Dahong stretched out her hand to wipe the rain off her face and said:
  "Everyone, the rain is a bit heavy. It might flood the first floor. How about we move the sandbags at the entrance of the garage to the door of the unit together? If you can stop it, count on it. The more we have, the more strength we have. Let's move it. Be faster too!”

There is a problem with the drainage system in Anming City.

When it rains heavily, the roads will be flooded with water.

The underground garage of this community in Repulse Bay has also been hit several times.

Many owners wake up to find that their cars have been swimming in the water all night.

Therefore, the property management company has prepared many sandbags at the entrance of the underground garage.

Everyone laughed and said that the original car and boat tax was prepared for heavy rain.

Now the owners have moved the cars to the road outside, and the underground garage is empty.

These sandbags are more suitable for use at the entrance of community units.

"It's just this little rain, I'm afraid of a hammer!"

"Manager Liu, you just relied on the support of the government to distribute supplies for a few days! You are really addicted to being an official, why do you still call the owners to come! Don't put the cart before the horse!"

"That's right! Besides, isn't the hard work of moving sandbags something that your property security guards should do? If you ask me to move it, I'll pay the property fee in vain!!"

"During this period, the community and the corridors are full of garbage. Where are your cleaners? You still call us here! You must be sick!"

"If I want to flood, I will flood the people on the first floor. I won't move! I haven't even had enough to eat, so how can I have the strength to move!"

"Yes, it was so hot before, and if you get exposed to the rain for a while now, you will get sick easily! If you get sick, are you responsible?!!"

"This thunder is so big, are you responsible for being struck by lightning? Can you take responsibility??!!"

"."

There were a lot of chatter in the crowd, and most people were a bit rebellious and angry, and everyone was angry.

Even the two owners on the first floor looked at him with hostility.

After all, the bloody mosquito that flew in a while ago and injured his family was actually inseparable from the property management's negligence.

Of course, the culprits were those who went to the official shelter and left the door open.

Liu Dahong's face turned livid for a second. He clenched his fists tightly and cursed in his heart: These idiots, wait a few days for you to kneel down and beg me! !
  "Okay, everyone, instead of standing around talking nonsense, the sandbags have been moved! Although I live on the 32nd floor, the water can't reach my house, but I will move these sandbags!" The speaker was Sun Jingtao. .

Before he retired from the army, he participated in several flood rescue operations, and he had something akin to a sense of responsibility or habit.

The property's sandbags are not large in size. If he hadn't been so weak now, he could have carried three bags in one hand.
