This second-tier city was not by the sea. It should be said that it was still far from the sea. It was a full 500 to 600 kilometers away, but it still could not avoid the tragedy of being submerged by the sea. Fortunately, they were quite far away. When the seawater reached here, it was no longer in the form of a tsunami, but at least it was like a flood. Along with the seawater came a large amount of debris, branches, leaves, plastic buckets, plastic bags, and of course, survivors who were lucky enough to pull a floating object.
An Yan was woken up by the shocking screams and the cold sea water. Before he could understand what was going on, he was washed away by a wave of water. He was already rolling around with the current. He accidentally drank two mouthfuls of water, and his head struggled to the surface of the water. He took a breath and sank again. The main reason was that the current was rapid, and there were a lot of junk inside, but he could not reach anything that could help him hold on to the water. In the water, he was like an ant struggling in vain. He was so insignificant. His hands and legs kept flapping and dancing, even if he could grab something.
Those who had not experienced the flood would not have thought of such a scene. The turbulent water would make people dizzy. They did not know what to do except to struggle instinctively. At this time, even the best swimmer could only say that there was a slight chance of survival. No one could guarantee that they would be safe and sound. He couldn't open his eyes. There were too many things in the water, and his chest was getting more and more stuffy. It was inevitable for him to bump into something while rolling. This was no different from adding insult to injury for An Yan.
It was as if he had grabbed onto something. He had no way to think about it now. The thing in his hand seemed to be his life-saving straw, so he grabbed onto it with all his might. He felt his hand shake. He was already dizzy in the water, so how could he let go? Moreover, he didn't have any thoughts at this time, let alone consider whether it was someone else.
This was actually the instinctive self-rescue of a drowning person. There was no predetermined purpose, just to survive. If other people were implicated because of this, then it could only be said that they were unlucky. How could we criticize drowning people who had lost their ability to think?
That's right, An Yan grabbed a person's leg, and it was a woman. The woman was originally hugging a table, but she could not hold it anymore after being pulled by An Yan. She was pulled into the water along with the table. She struggled with all her might and kicked hard, but An Yan's hands were so strong at this time. Of course, this was due to the barbarian physique he had just inherited. If not for this, how could An Yan persist until he caught this woman? The victim's mind was also in a mess. She only knew how to kick the thing that was holding her and hold on to the table without letting go.
Perhaps the woman wasn't fated to die. No, it should be said that the woman and An Yan weren't fated to die. With a bang, An Yan's head hit something. He felt a sharp pain. He let go of his hand. When he wanted to grab it again, there was only a high heel left in his hand. An Yan, who was rolling in the water, actually recovered a little from the impact. At this time, he had actually been rolling in the water for more than two minutes. Under the rapid struggle, he should have run out of oxygen and couldn't hold on any longer, but now he was still waving his arms and legs like an undying cockroach. He instinctively reached out and grabbed something. This was a life-saving straw. At this moment, his potential was endless. He, who had already held it in to the limit, actually floated his head out of the water and grabbed the sofa in his hand tightly. He had already seen it. The sky was already slightly bright. That thing was a sofa. It was the culprit who had just bumped into him. Now, it was naturally his life-saving straw. It was this kind of wooden sofa that provided him with a place to grab it. If it was a real leather sofa, he might not be able to grab it easily.
There seemed to be something in his other hand. When he put it in front of him, he realized that it was a woman's leather shoe. Women's leather shoes? He thought of the thing he had just caught in the water. Could it be a woman's leg? It was a sin, a sin. Grabbing a woman's leg was nothing, but if he killed her because of it, then his sin was really big! He looked around, and the scene that entered his eyes shocked him. It was a vast expanse of sunlight, and the rapid current carried him forward. He could no longer tell where he was. Only a small part of the treetops could be seen. The tall buildings were still okay, but the two-story buildings only had the roof left. There were many people standing on the roofs, either crying loudly or in a daze. Of course, there were also many people trying to save the drowning people. There was no woman beside her. Did she fall into the water, or was it just an illusion? What she grabbed was actually something else. She didn't know how she caught the shoe in the end? This question was too heavy, and it was difficult for him to get an answer. It was better to save himself first.
"Heavens, where did this flood come from? Save me, I'll pay, 50,000, whoever saves me, I'll pay 50,000!”A middle-aged man was lying on a piece of wood. Due to his fat body, he obviously lacked exercise. At this time, he was already paralyzed and could only shout for help.
"Wife, son, you can't leave me behind, boohoo!"
All kinds of cries could still be heard clearly in the rushing water. Tragedies of families being separated from their families were happening everywhere in this sudden impact of the seawater.
"Mom, where are you? My son is unfilial. If I can't save you, what's the use of me living?”Jiang Shaonan grabbed his hair and stared at the murky water. Although he knew that the possibility of his mother being alive was very small, there was always a glimmer of hope in his heart. He hoped that his mother could suddenly come out and be safe and sound. Jiang Shaonan struggled to climb a tree in the flood with his youth and then turned to the balcony on the second floor of this three-story building. However, his sleeping mother was gone. His father went on a business trip. He really didn't know what to do." Little brother, help." Save me, I'll give you 50,000, oh no, 100,000!”
Jiang Shaonan was blaming himself for abandoning his mother and escaping alone. At this time, he heard the middle-aged man's cry for help. He raised his head blankly and looked at the man who was ten meters away from him. He shook his head and lowered his head again.
"Is 100,000 not enough? Then 150,000. 200,000, please save me.”The man started crying.
Jiang Shaonan wasn't the only one on the roof. There were four men and women. One of them looked like an honest middle-aged man who looked like a migrant worker. The other two were obviously a couple. They all looked sad and shocked. There was also a girl in her twenties. Her hair was a little curly and her face wasn't pretty. She could only be considered an ordinary person. The girl couldn't bear it, but she couldn't swim. She was actually pulled up by the migrant worker.
"Swim over here. If you come a little closer, we'll be able to catch you.”
The man lying on the wood shouted," Help! I, I don't have any strength left. I can't swim over. Save me!”As he spoke, the wooden block did not stop and continued to float forward.
Zhao Xiaomiao held the branch in her hand in a daze. She couldn't describe what she was feeling. She had been in this situation several times already. Seeing the survivors float away in front of her but not being able to provide any help made her feel very uncomfortable. In this sudden disaster, she had also lost her loved ones, but she was strong and held on. After crying, she wanted to save the other victims, but she only succeeded once. The main reason was that the branch in their hands was not long enough. It was only a short three meters long, and the current was rapid. No one dared to go into the water to save people.
The middle-aged laborer shook his head helplessly. Although he was simple and honest, he knew his own ability and did not try to jump into the water to save her. The couple who were holding hands did not say anything. They comforted each other. The woman was actually very young. She looked to be around 20 years old. Perhaps she was still in school, but the man was around 50 years old. However, both Jiang Shaonan and the middle-aged migrant worker had seen and heard too much about such things on TV and the Internet. It was just being a mistress. Everyone on Earth knew that. There was no need to make a fuss.
An Yan, who was in a daze, happened to arrive here. Because there were many sundries in the water, the people upstairs did not notice him for a while. However, he saw the person upstairs and happened to pass by the branch that Zhao Xiaomiao had extended. This was simply a messenger sent by God. Without hesitation, he let go of the sofa and grabbed the branch.
" Aiya!" Zhao Xiaomiao almost fell into the water from the sudden force of the branch in her hand. Fortunately, one end of the branch was tied to the iron fence. She immediately shouted," There's someone! Everyone, help me!"
Jiang Shaonan and a burly man worked together to drag the tree branch, while Zhao Xiaomiao untied the rope on the fence. Together, they dragged An Yan over. An Yan was dragged to a safe place in a hurry. He lay on the ground in a sorry state and panted heavily. After drifting in the water for half an hour, it was like a nightmare for him. He kept struggling, the cold sea water, panic and despair. It was only when he arrived here that he relaxed.
"Ya, you're injured!" Zhao Xiaomiao saw that An Yan's left leg was bleeding. The wound was about ten centimeters long, and it was not very deep. It seemed to have been cut by something. She saw that the victim had an ordinary appearance. He had a hooked nose, messy hair stuck to his forehead, and a thin figure. There was an egg-sized hole in the shirt on his left chest. She did not know how it happened.
Only now did An Yan feel the pain in his leg. He had never encountered such a big wound before. He did not feel anything unusual before. This was naturally because his mind was occupied by fear and panic, and his body automatically blocked this feeling. However, after the crisis passed, he felt a burning pain in his wound. There was a big tear in his pants, and he could not wear them anymore. This was great. Whether it was the top or the bottom, they were all scrapped. If it was under normal circumstances, An Yan would definitely be ridiculed by others, but now, everyone was not much different.
