Ferocious Water Whistle
Slowly, the sky was already bright, but the sky was still gloomy. After six hours of rushing, the front peak of the flood had almost reached Xuanwu City. This was the first time such a big disaster had happened in Xuanwu City since it became a city.
The dark night lasted until dawn. 99% of the people in Xuanwu City had already evacuated overnight in the heavy rain.
In the beginning, the people were in a panic for more than an hour. At that time, the management of the ruling organization was ineffective, and the evacuation scene was chaotic. If it was not for the local garrison troops who came in in time to forcefully take over and control all the roads out of the city, perhaps not even half of the people would have been able to get out.
After the army entered the city, they forcefully controlled the population and vehicles to only be able to pass through one direction. All people and vehicles were required to only pass through the outside. All entry into the city was suspended. Some people were forced to stay on the horizontal streets or find a horizontal street to park their vehicles and wait for their families to arrive. Therefore, people could only follow the trend and go out. Many family members and friends who were not together were forced to go out. After such a simple and crude restriction, Only then did the situation in the entire city slowly improve.
In order to evacuate as soon as possible, all kinds of items were thrown everywhere. The entire Black Tortoise City was in a mess.
And in an inconspicuous corner of the city, there was a person: Tang Zhengping was originally from Nanmadian. His hometown was in the rural area of Zhugou Town, Zhushan County. He became an orphan when he was five years old. He lived on one family's food for a few years. Finally, he worked as an apprentice with a chef who opened a restaurant for a few years and slowly learned dozens of good dishes. Because they had been together for a long time, they were as close as father and son. He had followed his boss to Xuanwu City for more than half a year. The boss's family returned to their hometown in the Southern Province for the New Year before the New Year, so he stayed to look after the restaurant.
He was originally watching the Spring Festival Gala in his room, but when it was midnight, he was too groggy to stay up all night. He began to doze off and did not pay attention to what was on TV. Who knew that the power would go out when the new Spring Festival arrived. He did not think too much about it and climbed into bed in the dark to sleep.
At night, the noise around him became louder and louder. Finally, there were a few bursts of gunfire and sporadic explosions. This sudden sound woke him up. He took out his phone and pressed it. The light from the phone lit up the small area around him. He looked at the surrounding environment and sighed. It turned out that this was not Zhushan County, nor was it the "Iron Fist" military exercise in his hometown. This was Xuanwu City, and it was a big festival." Hehe, the people in the city really know how to have fun. They don't allow firecrackers during the festival, but they set off guns. It's just different from my hometown."
He muttered to himself and put on his headphones. He turned the music on his phone to suppress most of the noise outside. He quickly fell asleep again. From then on, he was temporarily out of the noisy evacuation.
The next day, at almost seven o'clock, he was woken up by a piercing alarm.(There was a timer on the phone, and the music had stopped by itself.) He didn't know what alarm it was, but his instinctive reaction still made him rush out of the room. It was still raining outside. Other than the alarm, everything around him was quiet. He was extremely afraid in an instant. He suddenly thought that he was still asleep and pinched himself hard. It hurt, proving that he was not dreaming.
What was wrong with this world? What had happened?
He stood there in a daze for a while until the rain drenched his entire body and he shivered from the cold. He instinctively went back to his room, changed into thick clothes, took an umbrella, and walked out again. However, just as he looked around the alley, he tripped over an abandoned passcode box after walking for only a few dozen meters. He got up and went to the box to try to open it. Unexpectedly, he opened it directly. A thick stack of hundreds of thousands of cash occupied half of the corner. Dozens of gold bars occupied another small corner, and the other half was filled with dozens of old antiques in a mess.
This was something worth a million yuan. Why was it left here? He quickly went back to his room in excitement. He was very happy, but there was still something that made him uncomfortable. He didn't want to listen, but he was listening all the time. The ear-piercing alarm made him even more upset. He had to go out again to see what was going on.
Soon, he came out again and walked on the empty road. The two sides of the road were in a mess. There were all kinds of abandoned boxes and backpacks, and even snakeskin bags were thrown everywhere.
He rummaged through dozens of boxes along the way and collected a whole box of gold bars and cash in less than ten minutes. It was so heavy that he couldn't even lift it. After taking a few steps, he had to sit down and take a breather. He thought that it was a dream, but it was good to have such a beautiful dream.
He sat on the box with sweat all over his forehead. He looked around, but he still didn't see anyone. Other than the sound of the alarm and the sound of the rain falling, there was no other sound.
The world was strangely quiet. Where had everyone gone? He slowly felt fear. Loneliness was terrifying.
The fear in Tang Zhengping's heart was magnified bit by bit. He didn't want to think about it, but he was reminded by the alarm. Finally, it accumulated stronger and stronger, making him extremely afraid. He suddenly stood up. He abandoned the big box of money and property and ran along the street. As he ran, he shouted for anyone. The more he didn't get a response, the more afraid he became.
Ten minutes passed, but there was no one. Only a big dog was seen in the courtyard of a small street office.
Twenty minutes later, he saw the first person. He ran over to take a look and found that he was already dead. He was so scared that he sat on the ground and quickly took out his phone to call the police. However, he realized that there was no signal on his phone at all. The police call could not be reached. In the end, he ran in a panic.
The surroundings were too quiet. Other than a dead person, there was no one else. He was a little crazy. He really hoped that this was a dream and that he would wake up soon. However, he could not wake up because he had always been awake. He just did not want to believe it.
Finally, after running for 23 minutes, he found a person in a pipe under an intersection. A drunkard in his forties or fifties was sitting at the mouth of the cement pipe. He was wearing a tattered cotton coat. He shouted at the sky and cursed at Tang Zhengping,"What are you shouting for? It's so noisy that I can't sleep well. It's already so noisy in the middle of the night. It's finally quiet for a while at dawn.”
Tang Zhengping finally saw a living person. He felt a sense of familiarity for a moment. He quickly ran forward and gave the middle-aged man a big bear hug, not caring if he knew him or not. He even muttered,"We found a living person, we found him.”As she spoke, she started crying like a child. Her tears could not be stopped no matter how hard she tried.
The drunkard's name was Song Chuangen. He used to be the boss of a factory with some assets. Two years ago, the factory borrowed money from each other to cross the bridge and was cheated of millions. After the capital chain was broken, he was soon bankrupt by others.
The year before last, it was simply a double whammy for him. In the end, even his wife and child ran away with someone else. His entire life seemed to have returned to before he was liberated.
Similarly, on the eve of the Spring Festival, he felt really uncomfortable. He carried the wine alone and went back to the factory that originally belonged to him to take a look. The more he thought about it on the way, the more upset he felt. In the end, he got drunk and got into a conflict with the security guards at the factory entrance. The new security guards did not know him, but considering that it was a big festival, they did not pay much attention to this drunkard. They just stopped him from entering the factory. This made him feel even more upset and he drank faster. Soon, he fell asleep at the entrance of the factory like a drunkard.
The security guards were afraid that someone would freeze to death at the factory gate during the festival. After discussion, the two security guards finally placed him in an idle cement pipe by the roadside. They covered him with two old cotton coats and completely treated him as a lunatic.
Not long after they were done with their work, there was a blackout. In the end, they received the result of a large evacuation. Everyone panicked and wanted to escape. They had long forgotten about him. Even if they did not forget, they probably would not have bothered with this drunkard.
Song Chuangen was stunned by the sudden hug and sobered up a little. He looked at the young man and pushed Tang Zhengping away in disdain. He looked at Tang Zhengping as if he was crazy. Tang Zhengping muttered,"Finally, a living person has arrived…"
After Tang Zhengping's ruckus, Song Chuangen was almost completely sober. He also felt more and more strange. Why would the alarm sound during the New Year? Moreover, this young man was so crazy. He hugged and hugged a stranger when he saw him, and even said something like,"I've seen someone". Could it be that the tens of millions of people in Xuanwu City had disappeared in half a night? He recalled the noise of cars and people last night, as well as the huge explosion of fireworks…
Did I miss something? Song Chuangen was also puzzled.
The more he thought about it, the more afraid he became. He immediately grabbed Tang Zhengping tightly and asked,"What happened last night? Tell me, tell me quickly!"
Tang Zhengping was stunned for a moment. He recalled as he spoke.
" Last night, when it was almost midnight, the people in the space station were preparing to send blessings to the people of the country during the Spring Festival Gala. The electricity suddenly stopped, so I went to bed. I seemed to hear the sound of gunfire and people's noise at night. When I woke up in the morning, there was no one around me. The street was quiet, except for the sound of sirens and the rain. Also, luggage and belongings were thrown everywhere, but I didn't see anyone else. I didn't even see a few cars. It seemed like they had all disappeared overnight. I couldn't even get through to the phone. I also went to the street office, but there wasn't even a living thing."
"Oh! No, there was a dog in that courtyard!”
"Are you saying that other than you and me, there's no one else?”Song Chuangen asked after thinking for a moment.
" If you don't count the dead, yes," Tang Zhengping answered with certainty.
" F * ck, what happened last night? What the hell happened?"
Song Chuangen said angrily,
"Let's go into the factory and take a look."
As he said that, he walked towards the factory. Tang Zhengping followed closely behind him.
The gate of the factory was already wide open, and the security guards had long disappeared. After the two of them entered the factory, they walked around the factory, but there was no one there either. Finally, Song Chuangen got tired of walking, so he drove out in a lift truck. The two of them sat on the lift truck and left the factory, shouting as they walked along the street.
Along the way, they met a woman in her thirties and a seven-year-old girl walking in a panic. When they met these two people, it was as if they had met their saviors. They quickly stopped the car and asked. After asking, they learned that people had evacuated out of the city overnight. They said that there was a rumor that there was going to be a flood here. Song Chuangen found an unguarded factory and went in. He changed to a tractor flatbed truck and entered a few unguarded supermarkets along the way. He took some of the few necessities he had left and continued to drive out of Xuanwu City.
Along the way, they took in three men, two women, and five other young people. They were all single people who had fallen asleep drunk last night and missed the evacuation. The group of people quickly filled the entire flatbed cart and headed for the relatively smooth road out of the city.
After the people in the car got to know each other, they found out that a young man in the car had contacted the data center of the Heaven and Earth Network with a mobile phone. According to the data center, the 15-meter-high water head of the vanguard would reach its current position in 26 minutes. Such an emergency made everyone nervous.
However, the information center soon sent over the nearest short-term safe location. The two nearest safe areas in Xuanwu City were Snake Mountain and Turtle Mountain. Song Chuangen grew up in Xuanwu City and was very familiar with more than half of Xuanwu City. He immediately turned a corner and drove west. When everyone saw that he was driving back, almost everyone was anxious and shouted at him. They almost grabbed the steering wheel.
He shouted loudly,"Target Turtle Mountain."
A few minutes after the car left, they could vaguely hear the buzzing sound of the roaring waves. As the sound became louder and louder, everyone became nervous again.
Fifteen minutes later, the loud noise made it impossible for everyone to hear each other's shouts clearly. The young man holding the phone anxiously began to gesture with his hands to say what he wanted to say, and then Tang Zhengping gestured for Song Chuangen to see.
Song Chuangen was focused on controlling the flatbed to move towards the target at the fastest and steadiest speed, so he did not understand what he saw. In the end, Tang Zhengping leaned into Song Chuangen's ear and explained it clearly. Then, he gestured fourteen. Song Chuangen understood and nodded. Ten minutes later, they finally arrived at the intersection of Huangshui River and Nanjiang River. They were ready to cross the river through the bridge.
The people in the car looked at the yellow and fast-flowing Yellow River through the thick rain fog. As long as they crossed the Yellow River, Turtle Mountain was not far ahead. As they drove on the Yellow River Bridge, the torrent under the bridge had risen by several meters due to the continuous rain for several hours. They could still vaguely see the tall and ancient TV tower, although very few people knew that it used to be a TV tower.
The flatbed had just crossed the bridge for less than a minute before it was forced to stop because the road ahead was completely filled with other vehicles. Everyone got out of the car. At first, they couldn't stand steadily. It turned out that the ground had begun to shake. Everyone supported each other and raised their legs as if they had been electrocuted. They began to run up Turtle Mountain on foot.
There were less than three minutes left before the vanguard's head, and his ears could no longer hear anything due to the long-term high-intensity sound stimulation.
When they were halfway up the mountain, they felt the ground beneath their feet shake violently. They almost fell down again. When they looked up, the television tower on the top of the mountain had disappeared. What they saw was a large group of people who were just as panicked as they were. The entire scene was a little chaotic.
The group of them ran forward for another few dozen meters, preparing to squeeze into the dense crowd. At the same time, they realized that the crowd in front of them was looking at them. To be exact, it was less than a thousand meters behind them. A blurry wall of water that was more than ten meters tall had already appeared.
They were also forced to stop. They squeezed and tried to retreat, but they couldn't move anymore. They huddled together and watched the flood destroy the tall buildings in the cities they passed by. It swept away everything on the streets. Soon, the city was surrounded by water like Wang Yang, except for dozens of tall hills and sturdy buildings that were still faintly visible on the water.
The Aquarampart destroyed everything that stood in its way. The buildings, trees, flyovers, and South River Bridge were quickly destroyed and disappeared into the water…
The disaster continued. They could only watch as the city was destroyed and countless wealth was reduced to nothing. In the face of such a disaster, they had no choice but to cry.
At this moment, Liu Chuangen silently looked at the time on his phone and read it out with mixed feelings,"
Zhen Nation Time: Emperor Era Year 4747, the first day after the Spring Festival, 10:50 AM. Xuanwu City was completely destroyed by the roaring of the flood. It turned into a huge city with a population of tens of millions.
