Chapter 1 The Great Flood

"Boom!"

A flash of lightning suddenly streaked across the inky black sky.

The pale lightning, like a sharp sword, instantly pierced through the darkness and illuminated the entire earth.

Under the brief light, what you see is an endless expanse of water, with scattered houses appearing abruptly above the water.

Like isolated islands, huge shadows appear and flash across the water from time to time.

After the lightning, the sky, which was filled with heavy rain, instantly returned to darkness.

This is Linjiang High-tech Zone.

The pouring rain has lasted for half a year!
The entire Linjiang City has been completely submerged.

As the sea level rises, the low buildings in Linjiang City are completely submerged.

Buildings below ten floors have basically sunk into the water.

Today, only the tenth floor or above are still barely above the water.

At the window on the top floor of Building 66 in Midu Garden, after the lightning and thunder, a figure stood there staring out the window.

"Half a year."

Liang Yuan frowned, but at the same time he was very glad that he had bought the top floor apartment on the 32nd floor.

Although when I bought it, there were many problems such as roof leaks and poor insulation.

At that time, he was really looking for properties everywhere and asked the developer to change the house.

But no one picked him up.

At that time, he was truly desperate.

I spent half my life savings on this house.

Not only that, he had to pay off a loan of nearly one million yuan and became a mortgage slave.

I thought I could marry my girlfriend like this.

But he didn't expect that his girlfriend had quarreled with him more than ten times in just three days of moving in.

The apparent reason was that the girlfriend was not satisfied with the house.

But the deeper reason, of course, was that she didn't want to bear a mortgage of more than one million yuan with him.

The last straw that broke the camel's back for Liang Yuan was the 300,000 yuan dowry proposed by his girlfriend's mother.

Liang Yuan was very anxious at that time. Linjiang City is a Jiangnan city, and a dowry of 100,000 yuan was already a lot. But his girlfriend's mother asked for 300,000 yuan. He was so anxious that he couldn't help but have a big quarrel with his girlfriend.

Later I found out that my girlfriend had a younger brother who had just graduated and was also dating.

But the girl her brother was dating was from Akarin Province, and everyone had heard about the market there.

But Liang Yuan didn't expect that her brother would find a partner and the bride price would be borne by him after all the preparations.

There is nothing to say, Liang Yuan decisively broke up.

With this kind of family and this kind of woman, whoever wants her can have her.

If you deposit 300,000 yuan in a bank, you can earn nearly 10,000 yuan in return in a year.

We never thought that we would break up in May and Linjiang City would enter the rainy season in June.

Then God seemed to go crazy, and it rained heavily for half a year without stopping!
In the first month, no one paid attention to it.

I just feel that the rainfall during this year's rainy season is too heavy.

However, the news soon reported that severe floods had occurred in certain places and many people had drowned.

There was no danger in Linjiang City at that time, and everyone just treated it as news, and those who needed to go to work continued to work.

Until the second month, the heavy rain continued.

Linjiang City also experienced severe flooding, with seawater backflowing into the river.

Suddenly the entire Linjiang City was in a panic and immediately began to organize disaster relief.

In Liang Yuan’s residential complex, Midu Garden, all the underground garages on the first floor were flooded.

The residents who bought apartments on the first floor were so frightened that they all moved to their neighbors’ homes upstairs.

Everything was fine at first, but after heavy rain continued for a week and the second floor was flooded, everyone was completely panicked.

People who had no place to stand kept running upstairs.

Not purchasing supplies for more than a month has made everyone panic.

Until a news report revealed that marine life had appeared in the flood.

And it’s a mutant creature that has never been seen before!

This piece of news shocked the world!

The era of the great flood has officially arrived.

It was not until half a year later that all floors below the tenth floor of Midu Garden were flooded, and at this moment, the corridors and other places were filled with tents.

As for the houses above the tenth floor, the doors were all closed and no one dared to open the door to take in others.

The same thing happened to Liang Yuan because two months ago, a resident on the ninth floor took in a group of people.

As a result, the next day, the bodies of the original owner and his family were found floating on the water, caught on the clothesline on the balcony, swollen and rotten. The news had spread thoroughly in the community property group, so no one dared to take in outsiders anymore.

Moreover, everyone could no longer afford to take them in because their own supply stores had run out.

Liang Yuan thanked his luck countless times. Fortunately, he bought a lot of food when he saw the situation was not good in the first month, so he could hold on until now.

Standing by the window, he picked up the last piece of wood and nailed the window shut to prevent anyone from climbing down from upstairs.

Then he raised his hand and looked at his watch. The watch showed that the current time was 9:18 in the morning.

It should have been bright at this time, but it was pitch black outside, with no light at all.

"Alas, how long will this rain last?"

Liang Yuan couldn't help but sigh, worrying that if it continued like this, sooner or later even the top floor of his 32nd floor would be flooded.

"Tuk-tuk-tuk-"

Suddenly, there was a loud banging sound outside the door.

Liang Yuan's face suddenly changed. He quickly picked up the nail gun on the table and rushed to the security door.

Through the peephole, he saw three middle-aged men outside the door, banging on his security door.

He knew these three people; they lived on the ninth floor. He had often run into them in the community before and would occasionally nod and say hello.

These people seem to be members of a jogging group in the community. They exercise all year round and have good physical fitness.

In the six months since the flood, some of our former neighbors have become demons in disguise.

The three people in front of me are undoubtedly this kind of people.

The middle-aged man who was leading the group at the moment, holding a fire axe in his hand, yelled, "Open the door, open the door for me!"

Boom boom boom!
The axe hit the security door, making a loud bang.

Liang Yuan said nothing and aimed the nail gun along the peephole!
Bang!
The nail gun fired instantly, and an iron nail was shot out in an instant.

"what--"

There were screams coming from outside.

"Old Wu!"

"Hey, Mr. Wu, Mr. Wu!"

"Hurry, hurry up, there are weapons in this house!"

Immediately afterwards, the sound of rolling and crawling was heard.

Liang Yuan stopped behind the door and listened for a while, but still felt uneasy, so he took the mirror from the cabinet in the entrance.

Look through the peephole and use the reflection of the mirror to observe the situation at the door.

Upon taking a look, I immediately saw another middle-aged man holding a thin iron skewer in his hand and placing it at the cat's eye!

Liang Yuan was suddenly shocked and thought to himself, "That was a close call!"
If I get close to observe with my eyes, I might be pierced through the head by a metal skewer!
Thinking of this, a surge of anger rose in his heart.

Grab the nail gun, aim at the cat's eye and shoot!
Bang!
"what--"

Suddenly, another scream was heard from outside. The man's palm, which was holding the iron skewer, was hit by the iron nail and blood immediately flowed out.

Liang Yuan cursed through the gate: "Fuck you, you still want to plot against me? Come on, come and hang around my door again. I have a box of nails that can shoot you into a hornet's nest!"

"Damn it, you little bastard, just wait for me, I don't believe you will never come out!"

The people outside started cursing without showing any weakness.

The other man endured the pain and cursed: "Boy, if you have the guts, don't come out. I want to see how much food you have left!"

"Fuck you, if you're brave enough just die in there, and when you come out I'll skin you alive!" Another person cursed loudly, obviously his defense was broken.

Liang Yuan sneered: "Idiot, I soaked my nails in the toilet and they are all rusty, just wait for death."

As soon as these words were spoken, the three of them panicked and started cursing Liang Yuan, but they did not dare to go to his door.

One of them said, "Old Wu, go back first, go back and bandage it. I remember there is a first aid kit with iodine on the 12th floor."

"Yes, yes, go clean the wound first. Damn it, this kid is stubborn. Let Brother Erlong deal with him later."

Soon there were a few taps on the stairs.

Liang Yuan listened for a while and felt slightly relieved.

This is the fourth time someone has forced their way in this week.

If I hadn't bought a lot of decoration equipment when I was renovating this house, I would have been unable to protect myself from these people outside.

Putting down the nail gun, he went to the bedroom. Looking at the many empty boxes piled up in the room, he became anxious again.

"Supplies are running low."

His eyes showed worry.

"Ding, you killed a mutant sardine and got 1 point. The system is starting..."

Suddenly, a strange piece of news rushed into Liang Yuan's mind, making him startled.

"what?"
