Chapter 1 The Flood
Zu Li was awakened by the alarm clock on his mobile phone at 7:40.
Just woke up, he was still a little confused, his head was aching, he reached out and picked up his mobile phone from the bedside table, turned off the alarm clock, felt a little anxious, and got up from the bed.
"I drank too much again last night, and I really can't drink like this again in the future."
Zu Li felt dry, and his throat was on fire.
Last night, I was with an important client. In order to sign the list, I drank three times in a row, including dinner, KTV, and late-night snacks. Although he had a good amount of alcohol, he couldn't stand it.
After drinking, I secretly went to the bathroom and spit out my throat. I came back and continued to drink. I vomited and vomited, and I ended up being so drunk that I couldn't even remember how I got home.
"Oh, I've been drinking again." Zu Li felt dizzy and sighed deep in his heart that life is not easy, and it's not good to be alone in a field.
Sit up from the bed, just put on the slippers but found that the shoes were wet.
"Huh? Why is the ground so wet?" Zu Li was awake for the most part and stood up hurriedly.
Could it be that he was drunk last night, opened which faucet and left it open, and as a result, the water overflowed and flooded the ground?
Seeing that the ground was full of dampness, Zuli hurriedly checked the kitchen and bathroom to make sure there was no leak anywhere.
"Strange, I didn't see any leaks. Why is the ground so wet, it looks like it's been flooded, is the water pipe broken somewhere? But I'm already on the top floor, so there's no way it's leaking from upstairs, right? It's really troublesome, should I find a master to see it myself or contact the landlord directly? Forget it, let's talk about it when I get back from get off work."
Zu Li shook his head and felt that his head was a little big. He was the person who was most afraid of trouble.
This is the house he rented. The building has 30 floors, and the one he rented happens to be on the top floor of the building.
Looking at the time, it's almost 7:50. He has to go to work at 8:30. It takes about 20 minutes to take the bus from here to the company where he works.
He didn't dare to wait any longer, and was busy brushing his teeth and washing his face.
Because I slept too late last night, my eyes are still faintly swollen. When I wash my face, I cover my eyes with a towel and take it off after ten seconds. At this time, my eyes feel a lot more comfortable and my spirit is restored. some.
He took off the towel and tilted his head to see the small gap in the bathroom window with the opaque cellophane next to him. He stretched out his hand and pushed the window to fully open it.
Looking out the window, Zu Li's eyelids jumped.
"This...this is..."
Zu Li's pupils dilated, he hurriedly stretched his head out, looked out the window, and took a deep breath.
From the window, there is sparkling water outside. Except for the water, no high-rise buildings, roads, and vehicles can be seen.
"how can that be?"
Su Li couldn't help but cried out, her heart was beating wildly, and she immediately closed her eyes, trembling slightly all over her body.
"Just now, I must have covered my eyes with a towel for too long and had hallucinations." Zu Li thought silently, rubbed his eyes again, and then opened his eyes again.
Outside the window, there was still water, and he even saw a blue plastic slipper floating on the water not far away.
With a "bang", this time Zuli slammed the window shut tightly, a chill in his heart, and rushed out of the bathroom, because he rushed too fast, his toes kicked on the door frame on one side , the pain caused cold sweat to break out on his forehead.
He just didn't care to see if his toes were injured. Zu Li limped to the balcony and opened the curtains of the balcony. Then, he stood beside the balcony dumbfounded, his body was stiff, his heart was beating violently, and his hands could not stop Live trembling slightly.
Through the row of windows on the balcony, Zu Li finally saw clearly.
The city he could see was completely submerged in water, and the city became a vast and boundless water surface.
On the water, only a few scattered buildings can be seen in the distance.
All these buildings above the water surface are buildings with more than 30 floors, and below 30 floors, they are all submerged by water.
The building where Zu Li lived was on the 30th floor, and only the top floor where he lived was exposed out of the water. From the 29th floor down, it was all submerged.
"It's impossible... I must be dreaming!"
Although Zu Li is already twenty-seven years old, he has experienced two years of beatings in the society, and his mind is still mature, but at the moment he is still full of fear, and he can't accept what he sees. He pinched his left arm fiercely. a bit.
He pinched so hard that a large piece of blue immediately appeared on his arm, causing him to take a deep breath of cold air in pain.
The severe pain and the sense of reality in front of him made him realize that what he saw in front of him was definitely not a dream, nor could it be an illusion at all.
His chaotic brain slowly calmed down, and he looked down at the wet ground.
Could it be that this is the real reason the ground is wet?
After falling asleep drunk last night, did the city really suddenly flood?
However, if such a huge flood really happened, how could there be no movement at all? Or did he sleep too deeply because he was drunk, so he didn't hear anything?
Soon Zu Li thought of something, opened the door, came to the corridor, and was busy slamming the door of the resident next door.
In addition to him, there are two other residents in this unit. Zu Li is not familiar with them. All I know is that the next door is a young girl dressed in fashion. She moved in not long ago, only about two or three months old.
Because the two sides commute at the same time, they have met many times, but they have never spoken.
Most of the time I see her alone, and occasionally I can see her taking a boy home, but he met three times, and the three boys she brought were different.
"Hey, are you home?"
Su Li slammed the door loudly without being polite, but no one responded.
Seeing that there was no response, Zu Li rushed down the corridor to another resident's door.
He remembered that a young couple lived here with a noisy Chihuahua.
He was about to knock on the door when he suddenly realized that the door was not closed, but was left open.
"Is anyone home?" Zu Li paused for a few seconds, and when no one responded, he pushed the door open.
The door was pushed open by him, and he saw that the living room was messy, and there were two pairs of shoes beside the shoe cabinet at the door.
A pair of leather shoes for men and a pair of high heels for women, one of which was turned over with the sole facing up.
The trash can on one side fell to the ground, and the rubbish inside spilled out.
There were two round plastic boxes commonly used for takeaways on the dining table that entered the door. One box contained half a bowl of soup, and the other was poured on the table. The soup noodles were all spilled out, but the soup had solidified on the table. .
