Afternoon
There were many more people outside paddling rafts and small boats.
People began hanging out their wet laundry and gathered on the water to look for anything useful.
Although the atmosphere of sadness and fear still shrouds the entire Beaver City, the feeling of oppression and despair is slowly fading.
Fu Anan opened the window and looked down.
The clean and tidy exterior of the Lorenbe Hotel was mottled by the rain, and there was an obvious water mark.
Fu Anan stared at the water surface about a fist's distance away from the water mark and was stunned -
Is the water level getting low
—
The water level was indeed getting lower, and it was getting lower at a very fast rate.
Beaver City Day 27 1:00 PM: The water surface is 10 stories above the Lorenzo Hotel.
2pm: The water level drops to 9.5 floors based on the height of the Lorenbe Hotel
3:00 PM: Water level drops to 8.5
…
If the rate continued, the water level would drop to half a floor by 7 p.m.
The flood that had accumulated for more than twenty days completely receded in one afternoon.
What was revealed after the flood was a devastated city with broken walls, mud and stench.
The survivors shuttled among the corpses and mud, with numb and empty eyes, mechanically searching for survival supplies in the garbage.
All of this looked like the scene after a disaster. Fu Anan looked at the red line drawn on the notebook.
It's only the twenty-seventh day
8pm.
The flood waters have completely receded.
More and more people were going out, all anxious to go back and check on the situation at home, and there were only a few refugees left in the Lorenbe Hotel.
Fu Anan also came down.
The weather was gloomy at this time, and the streets were full of pedestrians with their trousers rolled up and their families behind them.
All this was too normal and seemed extremely abnormal.
"Brother, you may not believe me, but I always feel like this game is about holding back a big move."
Fu Anan leaned to the side with her arms folded, looking very ungraceful.
When Fu Anan was called like this, she immediately stood up straight.
Fu Anan had the words "wanting to curry favor" written all over her face. She was more obedient and honest in front of Fu Yizhi than she was in front of her high school class teacher.
##
night.
The wind was raging.
A loud noise came from a distance, which was particularly loud in the rainless night.
What's wrong
Fu Anan got up from the bed in a panic.
The moon is very round tonight, and its light shines generously on Beaver City.
Following the moonlight, Fu Anan saw a bright white line in the distant sky.
The inexplicable noise was still deafening, and there were other sounds hidden in it.
Crash—
It's the sound of water.
Fu Anan withdrew his gaze from the distance and looked down. The flood that had disappeared during the day came back and hit the wall fiercely.
Immediately following.
A wave ten stories high came from a distance.
Fast and fierce.
Even the Lorenbe Hotel, which had hosted three prime ministers and four presidents and was known as the most solid building in Beaver City, was trembling slightly.
It's a tsunami!
The mystery that had puzzled her for an entire afternoon was suddenly solved. Fu Anan slapped herself on the face and cursed herself inwardly for forgetting it.
On the first day of the game, news and various welcome advertising slogans hinted that—
Beaver City is a famous coastal tourist city!
The abnormal retreat of sea water is a precursor to a tsunami.
Fu Anan looked at the not-so-obvious "white line" on the horizon and suddenly had a bad feeling.
"Brother Fu!"
Fu Anan ran out to tell Fu Yizhi about this important discovery, but as soon as she opened the door, she was carried away by two strong mercenaries.
