Stocking up for the end of the world: Erha took me and my best friend to become well-off

Chapter 9 The water is rising

At about twelve o'clock, the rain gradually became lighter and then gradually stopped.

"The rain has stopped!" Li Shengnan stood up and picked up her cell phone to call her boss, but she couldn't get through.

"Don't even think about going out after stopping. There is still so much water on the ground left by acid rain, which is corrosive. How can you get out?" Yang Qing said.

But I was thinking in my mind, there was about half an hour between the acid rain and the heavy rain, could I go out?
  "Yes, our shoes will probably melt as soon as we step out." Wang Min also said, "If something happens in your office, won't your colleagues call you? If you don't call now, you won't take action. Don't do that. I’m sorry, things are different now than usual.”

Li Shengnan was a little frustrated. Yes, it's the end of the world now. Can it still be the same as before?

Suddenly, several large trucks appeared on the street. There were people in protective suits driving past with water pipes and watering the ground.

But the water must not be ordinary water. It must be mixed with some chemical reagent, which seems to have a neutralizing effect on the acid rain on the ground.

There were people behind the car carrying the bodies on the street. Their shoes were only slightly corroded when they stepped on the ground. It must be that the reagent in front of them had taken effect.

"Some department has taken action!" Li Shengnan became excited, "I knew the higher-ups wouldn't ignore it."

Yang Qing nodded, but this was just the beginning, and they wouldn't be able to care so much about it next.

"It seems that there is a special rescue organization, so you don't have to worry." Wang Min also breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Shengnan's tight string finally relaxed and he sat on the sofa. "Maybe I can recover tomorrow and I can go to work again."

Yang Qing smiled bitterly, why is she still so naive? The end of the world is here, and the situation will only get worse in the future.

But I can’t tell for a while now.

"In this case, you can just go back to your room and rest. Maybe someone will notify you to go to work when you wake up tomorrow." Yang Qing agreed.

Let her sleep peacefully, I'm afraid she won't have this chance again.

Li Shengnan nodded and returned to the room with Wang Min.

"Shall we go in and rest too?" Lu Lin said.

Yang Qing shook his head, "I'll sit down for a while."

She stared downstairs closely for about half an hour. The wind was strong, heavy raindrops fell, and the rain poured down.

But this time it wasn't acid rain. Some people ran to the street to catch the rain, jumping and laughing, ecstatic, thinking everything was back to normal.

But Yang Qing knew that this was just the beginning.

She noticed that there was no danger for the time being, so she quietly put on protective clothing and acid-proof shoes, and took the keys.

"What are you doing?" Lu Lin grabbed her.

"I want to go to the jade shop in front. I can upgrade it if I buy something and have space." Yang Qing lowered his voice.

"How can someone sell you something at this time? It's too dangerous. Don't go!" Lu Lin shook her head.

"It's okay, I'll go take a look. If you don't sell it, I'll come back. I have to give it a try." Yang Qing smiled and patted Lu Lin's hand, "Don't worry, I'll be back soon."

Lu Lin knew that she always meant what she said, so she stopped trying to dissuade her and just said, "Be safe!"

Yang Qing nodded and went out.

I came to the jade jewelry store on Front Street and slammed the door hard.

The birthday gift I bought for Lu Lin before was bought here. There seems to be an attic inside, and the boss should live in the store.

It took several minutes before someone came down and turned on the light.

"Who?" The voice came out nervously.

After what happened just now, anyone would be scared, not to mention that this is a jewelry store and he is afraid that someone will take advantage of it and rob him.

"Boss, open the door, I'm going to buy something!" Yang Qing said.

"It's closed. If you want to buy something, come back tomorrow!"

"That's it, boss. It's my mom's birthday tomorrow and I forgot to buy her a gift. Tomorrow will be too late. Please let me go in and buy it and I'll leave right away."

"No, we're not doing business now. If you want to buy something, come back tomorrow. Don't bother me, or I'll call the police!"

"I'm not a bad person, I'm really here to buy something." Yang Qing said quickly, "If you don't believe me, pass the QR code through the crack in the door, and I will transfer the money to you now."

"I want to buy a million pieces of jewelry, big business!"

The boss was unmoved. Life was more important than money at this time. "You'd better leave quickly. I won't do your business."

After saying that, he turned off the lights, but actually he didn't leave. He stood behind the rolling shutter door with his heart in his heart, always vigilant. Yang Qing sighed and understood that if it were him, he would not dare to open the door at this time.

I'm afraid I won't be able to spend the money. If the Internet is cut off tomorrow, all the money in it will become dead money.

I can only find opportunities later.

"Okay, excuse me, I'm leaving!" Yang Qing said and walked away.

The boss listened to the footsteps getting away inside, and then he breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he was not a bad person.

Yang Qing took off her protective clothing when she got home and hung it up to control the water.

I walked to the window and looked outside. The rain was getting heavier and heavier, hitting the window glass with a pitter-patter sound.

Yang Qing sighed softly, it would be a different scene when he woke up tomorrow morning.

Back in the room, Lu Lin was still asleep, "You're back, are you okay?"

"It's okay, go to sleep!" Yang Qing shook his head.

The corridor became noisy in the middle of the night.

The people on the first floor slept until midnight and found that the water had reached their beds. They quickly got up and moved their appliances to higher places.

But the water was still rising, so I could only take my valuables and hide in the corridor on the second floor.

At daybreak, the water had already reached the second floor. People on the first floor walked up, and those on the second floor panicked, not knowing whether to move their belongings up.

Fortunately, the rain stopped for the time being, and everyone was crowded in the corridor on the second floor, at a loss.

"What should we do now?"

"Have you called the rescue call?"

"I called early, but wherever I could still get through, the line was disconnected!"

"All my things were soaked in water and destroyed..."

“My house has just been renovated and it’s completely ruined!”

"My car is still outside!"

"This is how to do ah?"

"What do some departments do? How come there was no notice of such a huge flood?"

"No one expected it. Look at the rain yesterday, so many people died..."

"Isn't the end really coming?"

"Can't? The water should subside in two days!"

"Xia Shi has not encountered such a big flood in a century, and there are no signs yet."

"It's a natural disaster, who can prevent it?"

"There is nothing now..."

"We'd better leave, staying here is not an option."

"But I can't swim..."

"I'm afraid of water this deep."

"No, I'm leaving first!" A strong man came out, "If the water rises again, none of us will be able to escape."

Seeing the strong man wandering around, everyone sighed, but there was nothing they could do.

Li Shengnan and Wang Min were both shocked when they woke up and saw the scene outside. They thought it would return to normal today, but they didn't expect it to be worse.

"Yang Qing, come out and take a look!" Wang Min patted Yang Qing's door.

Yang Qing and Lu Lin walked out of the room and walked to the window as expected.

"How could this happen?" Li Shengnan was stunned.

Yang Qing sighed, "Get ready, the end of the world is really coming, don't think about going to work!"
