"Is there no way out?"

Looking at the submerged stairs at his feet, Ye Kuang regretted so much why he didn't learn to swim properly.

There was no other way. The stairs were flooded and there was no way to continue walking. In addition, there were no usable supplies in the entire building.

So I could only go back the same way and climb out through the window I came in from.

Swim all the way along the water to find a house you can enter.

In this situation, a suitable shelter is the most important thing.

The key is to first find a place to live, light a fire to keep warm, and then change the wet clothes of that stupid woman and yourself.

Ye Kuang now feels that his feet are a little numb. If they stay wet for a long time, he might get trench foot, which is a serious disease that can lead to amputation!

Ye Kuang, who returned to the room from the original route, turned his head and glanced at Zhang Juyan from the window. She was still lying there with her eyes closed. After standing at the window, he shined his flashlight back and forth for a week to make sure there was no danger.

Take a long breath,

"What a fight!"

I saw him stretching out his hands to tightly grasp a thick wire under the window. His feet slowly stepped into the water. The cold flood even made Ye Kuang's calves feel cold to his ears in a moment.

Ye Kuang, who was leaning on the window sill, saw that the water had reached his waist, and the pictures of deep sea giants he had seen on the Internet flashed in his mind again.

There seemed to be a strange feeling under the endless darkness. The huge octopus seemed to be waiting for me in a dark corner of the water.

"There shouldn't be some giant beast coming out of the dark water here and swallowing me up."

"Damn, you're so stupid! Why would you scare yourself at this time..."

clatter!

"t,m..."

In this already tense situation, the bright flashlight suddenly went out.

The only light disappeared, the water surface was pitch black, there were no stars or moon in the sky, and the "black curtain" still tightly enveloped the planet.

"..."

quiet--

In the darkness where he couldn't see his fingers, Ye Kuang slowly reached out from his pocket and took out a small flashlight only as big as his thumb.

After tearing off the outer layer of plastic wrap, the light illuminated the dark night again, and the numb and tingling sensation on my scalp finally disappeared.

Ever since the long night fell, Ye Kuang felt that he had become somewhat annoying.

It's like a different person.

Sometimes I am extremely timid, just like when I faced that little catfish monster before, my heartbeat was so fast that even a simple knife at that time would hit the target.

Sometimes he is so bold that he dares to light a gas tank to fry fish. He even dives into the water with a person in his arms even though he does not know how to swim. Now he is still hanging by the window sill despite the lack of light source and weapons...

After all kinds of death attempts, the perfect Ye Kuang, who was steady and careful at first and didn't use bad words, completely disappeared.

Indeed, after graduation, I have been working as a social worker. I don’t exercise or play games. I just work every day. I never curse or use bad words, and I don’t even have many friends.

Now, fighting monsters and fighting for survival in the endless night can indeed liberate people's nature.

At this moment, he remembered the scene where he took off his clothes like that on the roof of the building. Now that he thought about it, it was really hard to talk about it.

What a shameless behavior.

"Hoo--let's go."

After taking a deep breath,

Staring at the boundless darkness in the distance and the biting temperature of the water beneath him, it seemed to Ye Kuang that the only source of light and warmth in the world was the small flashlight in his hand, which shone on the dark water and cast a wisp of white light.

.

Fortunately, the water is very calm now. If there is a wave, who knows what will be in the water.

The hand holding the wire was constantly relaxing. In order to learn to swim as soon as possible, Ye Kuang recalled the swimming movements he had seen. He slowly shifted his center of gravity to the water and began to tread water with his feet like a baby.

.

He knew it well.

Living in a living environment like today, there is a vast ocean everywhere. If you can't swim, it's almost like a death sentence.

What's more, if you want to get any supplies, besides picking up food floating on the water, you can only rely on diving!

This was something Ye Kuang never dared to think about before. Diving? Is that crazy?

But now, what's the problem?

When the flood came, most people were already hiding in their homes and not going out.

And except for some designated supermarkets and pharmacies, almost all shops have been closed, which results in very limited things floating on the water.

Even the plastic bags and man-made garbage that should appear densely are disappearing like ghosts.

In Ye Kuang's previous impression, there was a small supermarket two hundred meters ahead, and it was open. But he didn't know if he could still find the exact location in this situation.

The flashlight shone on the water in front and behind Ye Kuang, and a strange scene appeared.

In the past, floods all over the world were so dirty that no one dared to go into the water, not to mention the disgusting things like the backflow of feces in the sewers, making the water muddy and smelly. There was not even mud or dead wood. This was not the case in a city ruled by humans.

It is indeed a "wonder" to have such stagnant water in the middle of the river.

"It shouldn't be...the water surface here is so clean! Although the Qiancheng I know is very clean, the sun is coming out of the west when there are no floating objects like this."

Ye Kuang sighed in his heart, but the movements of his feet and hands did not stop. He had moved very far now.

It was already a hundred meters away from where Zhang Juyan was placed. In order to determine his position in the dark, Ye Kuang almost took three steps and turned back. In the past, he could almost walk to any store in this nearby area with his eyes closed, but

My perspective now is more than eight meters above the ground.

Almost all of the previous road signs, signboards, and street trees were in the water, and they had lost their reference points. What he was most afraid of now was getting lost.

If she can't go back, that stupid woman will be dead.

Ye Kuang was walking cautiously in the water when he suddenly heard a scream coming from the two houses in front of him.

"Jie——ah~~~!"

A sharp scream, extremely miserable, sharp and harsh, it almost penetrated his eardrums.

"This shouldn't be a human voice..."

Hearing this sound, Ye Kuang was a little embarrassed. He was frightened and immediately retreated into the water. Like a frightened child, retreating into the quilt.

In an instant, the helpless Ye Kuang covered his flashlight, but even in this situation, his clumsy swimming movements allowed him to maintain a posture that would not choke him.

He just exposed his head and muttered softly:

"The 'evil ghost' is blocking the way! Why don't you go back..."

Although he said he wanted to go back, he still decided to go forward. If he walked the same way, all his previous efforts would be in vain.

"No matter what, it's getting more and more pointless to keep walking. It seems I'm already running out of energy."

After silently sighing in his heart, Ye Kuang took out a steel nail from his trouser pocket, which was his only weapon now.

Holding a steel nail in one hand, the other hand pulled the wire with all his strength and moved quickly through the water.

Just as he reached the window where the scream came from, his hand suddenly felt empty.

Ye Kuang's heart skipped a beat.

Sure enough, God has a unique path!

The wires came to an end and led to a house, and in front of Ye Kuang was a strong anti-theft net made of steel bars on the window.

I raised my flashlight and searched around, but there was no escape window?

"Sure enough, Chinese people are better at preventing theft than fire!"

The light of the small flashlight followed the rusty but still strong anti-theft net and shone on the next window, which was where the terrifying scream came from.

Do you want to bite the bullet?
