This is a very young boy, a native of L Island, at most eighteen or nineteen years old. He is wearing the uniform of the guest room staff of Ruonaya Hotel, a white shirt and a black vest. But now his clothes are messy and bloodstains everywhere.

You Xi glanced at the name brand on his chest, and his name was written in International Language: Siman.

She took him to the other side of the corridor for a few steps. The doors of the room here were closed and the bloody smell was not that strong: "Siman, I want to know the current situation. Your people have been to our floor just now, but the rescue matters have not been explained very clearly. Has the hotel not received a rescue reply yet?"

Siman has a low education and can only work in this five-star hotel with an introduction. However, he is smart, quick-witted and diligent, and can speak international language, so he quickly moved from a handyman to room service.

The guest standing in front of him looked much calmer than the others, with a polite attitude and a fluent local language, which gave him a natural sense of intimacy.

He looked around, then lowered his voice and said, "Yes, the rescue was sent out after the first tsunami, but it has not been responded to. Our island is not big, the police force and rescue resources are limited, and the sea water has not yet retreated, and the situation in other parts of the island is worse than that in ours. So in this case, the rescue should not arrive at us so quickly. The few serious wounded people who are most worried about now have to send them to the hospital as soon as possible. The building on the hospital is also very high, a little further away from the sea, and the situation should be OK. But the water has not yet retreated. If there was a surgeon in the guest, we really didn't know what to do..."

"Is it the one inside just now?"

"Yes, his name is Lin. Like you, he is also from Beijing. Fortunately, he has a little fever before, so he didn't go out to sea today, and fortunately he didn't leave the hotel, otherwise..."

Seeing her frown, Siman comforted her and said, "But you don't have to worry too much. You are not injured. Our hotel currently has sufficient reserves in all aspects. Even if there is no rescue, as long as the sea water fades in a few hours, everyone will be safe."

However, You Xi was unable to rest assured and did not receive a rescue reply, which was different from receiving a reply saying that he would first rescue people who were more critical.

In addition, even if the sea water fades, the only airport that leaves L Island is not available in the short term. Water transportation is inconvenient and air transportation cannot be carried out. L Island is equivalent to being isolated from the world.

Unless there are external rescue personnel, according to the trend of this tsunami, I am afraid that the surrounding islands and land near the sea will be affected. Under the disaster, the principle of proximity is to wait until external rescue comes here, and I don’t know how long it will take.

What's more, will the sea water really fade within a few hours? The tsunami has passed, but the water level remains at a height of about four floors, which is a bit abnormal no matter how you look at it.

"Let's do this. If you get a rescue reply here, whether you come immediately or postpone it. Once there is a reply, you can notify me, okay? My surname is You, you know which room you stay."

"Okay, Miss You, no problem."

"Thanks."

"You are welcome."

After You Xi left the sixth floor, he continued to go down to the fifth floor. There were very few people here, and the whole corridor was wet. Some people were closed and some were discussing whether to move upstairs to live.

The fourth floor was flooded a little, and You Xi did not go down. Looking down from the window of the stairwell on the fifth floor, there were several rubber boats tied to the outer wall of the fourth floor. Some people were still organizing rescue. Not far away, you could see many local people rowing boats and fishing out available supplies floating in the water.

When You Xi returned to the seventh floor, there were fewer people than before. She registered her room card number and passport name, received a dinner, and returned to the thirteenth floor.

The staff had left, and most of the rooms that were originally open on this floor were closed. When she passed by the next room, the door was suddenly opened, and the woman she saw in the afternoon greeted her politely.

"Hello, thank you for reminding me in the afternoon. I didn't go downstairs immediately, otherwise..." She shivered involuntarily when she thought of the horror scene when the tsunami hit.

"Don't be polite, I just mentioned it casually."

"But you indirectly saved my son and I'm my last name, my name is Yuan Qi, and my city is from H."

"My name is Youxi, a native of S City."

"Sorry, I'm not saying it very well in International Language. I want to ask you how it is going on?"

You Xi briefly said what he saw.

"Thank you, actually, my sister is also here with us on the island. She is better at international language, but she went out to sea today and left by boat in the morning. I don't know where people are now..."

Yuan Qi said that, but she knew in her heart that such a terrible tsunami would be afraid that her sister would be afraid of a lot of bad luck.

"Mom..." The little boy came out of the door and reached out to pull Yuan Qi's hand. "Yuanyuan is hungry, when will we go to have dinner with my aunt?"

Yuan Qi felt sad and squatted down to hug her son: "It's because my mother is not good. I forgot the time of eating, so I will take Yuanyuan downstairs to have dinner now."

You Xi didn't have the idea of ​​giving the other party the meal he received. After all, the hotel is still in abundant supplies, not that far.

After Yuan Qi picked up her son, she hesitated and asked, "Well, if there is any notification from the hotel in the future, can you continue to translate for me? Please feel a little embarrassed, but I can't speak..."

This is just a small matter, You Xi nodded and said that there is no problem.

She returned to the room and just closed the door and turned on the lights, the room suddenly became dark. A moment later, footsteps and panicked voices came from the corridor. In this case, the darkness would make people even more panic.

Fortunately, after about ten minutes, the lights in the room sounded again, which should be the backup power supply for the hotel.

The backup power supply only provides lighting services, and the air conditioners and other electrical appliances were shut down. Youxi opened the glass sliding doors on the terrace. The heavy rain and tsunami dispersed the heat in the island air, which was not very hot.

She turned off all the headlights in the suite, leaving only a floor lamp in the living room, preparing for dinner. She was just hit by the disaster in the afternoon, and she had no intention of cooking by herself. She found a cantonese pork ribs, scallops, mushroom porridge and a box of char siu from the Xingwu Warehouse.

This was the takeaway she ordered in the past five days. They were all packed in a packed box. The food was still warm and it felt like it had just been out of the pot.

In this strange and alien world, familiar food brings a familiar sense of security.

The pork ribs are spicy and salty and fresh in the stomach, the rice grains are soft and glutinous, and the dried scallops are fresh and fragrant. The pork ribs are cooked until they are soft and tasted, and they melt in the mouth.

The char siu is fresh, sweet, salty and appetizing. Each piece is thin and fat. This fat is not only not greasy, but also particularly crispy, soft and juicy. It tastes great with dipping sauce.

Based on the principle of not wasting everything, she ate everything cleanly, then pierced the empty box of tableware into a plastic bag, threw it back to the Star House warehouse, and then took out a cup of honey grapefruit tea.

The store of Yuzi uses red pomelo, with bright red flesh suspended in refreshing honey water, and floating ice cubes, which makes it cool and comfortable to drink.

Because she had already taken a shower at noon and she didn't feel hot, she didn't plan to take a shower again and waste the hotel water supply.

She simply washed her hands and face, locked the glass sliding door on the terrace, locked the security lock of the room door, entered the bedroom and closed the door, and then took out a chair and put it behind the door.

You Xi opened all the bedroom curtains, opened the air window a little, and then lie on the big bed with a little shaking light reflected from outside the window.

In fact, she was so sleepy that she had been in the mission world. After all, she entered the mission world yesterday at 0:00 in midnight, which was exactly the time to sleep. Now she has been holding on for more than ten hours, which is equivalent to staying up all night. Not long after she has been touched with her pillow, she slowly fell asleep.

She woke up from a knock on the door, took out her cell phone from the Star House warehouse and looked at it. It was past five o'clock in the morning.

The phone shows that the battery is still 40%. This is the phone in the mission world. She put her own phone on her body while traveling through the world, but obviously she did not follow up on this world.

You Xi remembered silently in his heart that when he was traveling through the world, only the things placed in the Star House warehouse could follow up with the other world.

She didn't think about it before, so she didn't stock up on charging cables and power banks. Now she found that after using up the remaining 40% of the battery, her phone would be forced to turn off.

There is no signal on the island now, and the phone cannot be connected, but the phone can illuminate and look at the time, which is still very useful.

She threw her phone back to the warehouse, and while thinking about whether there was a power bank in the hotel, she got up and walked out of the bedroom and came to the door of the room.

The person knocking on the door was Siman. The other party was still wearing yesterday's clothes, his eyes looked a little red, his face was sleepy, as if he had not slept all night.

"Miss You." The other party was quite excited, "I'm sorry to wake you up so early..."

Siman brought good news. The hotel received a rescue reply not long ago. Although the Capital Island was not in contact, the rescue team on the island would arrive in about two hours. The direction of the transfer was Wanghaishan. Although the other side was closer to the coast on the other side, the impact of the disaster was relatively small due to the terrain.

In addition to a five-star hotel, Wanghai Mountain also has two three-star hotels, hotels and B&Bs of all sizes, which can accommodate many people.

Two hospitals slightly closer to Wanghaishan transferred some survivors, medical staff and medical devices last night.

"So, the water has subsided?" You Xi obviously asked the key question, and the boy's face in front of him became solemn.

"You haven't seen outside yet, the water has not retreated." In fact, not only did the water not retreated, but it also rose several steps overnight.

Many of the staff in the hotel were from L Island. After yesterday's tsunami, they were worried about their families, but one thing was that the sea water was not retreating and the other thing was that the hotel put pressure on work, so everyone was temporarily patient.

But the sea water did not retreat until the night. The staff worried that their family members could not help it. After discussing privately, they rowed away several rubber boats in the hotel and took away some water supplies.

Nearly half of the staff in the hotel left, with insufficient staff and distracted people. Siman's workload suddenly increased. He only slept for two or three hours a night, and kept guarding the waterline in the safety stairs on the fifth floor.

Several guests on the fifth floor had already been transferred to the seventh and eighth floors. Last night, because it was dark and many guests and survivors were very tired, most people did not notice the water level outside.

You Xi said a while and waited, then turned toward the living room terrace. She opened the sliding door and looked down at the hotel. The genius was slightly bright, but it was enough to distinguish the situation below. The dark gray water surface reflected ripples in the hazy light, which were still the height of yesterday.

The worst happened, the sea water really didn't retreat!

Seeing her frown, Siman said again: "But fortunately we have received a rescue reply. Please come to the eighth floor in two hours to gather. We will arrange for the people in the hotel to leave one by one."

He thought about it and added another sentence before leaving, "Ms. You, the disaster is serious at present, and the rescue is not enough. You may be evacuated in batches. In another half an hour, we will start notifying the guests. Those who are injured in women and children are given priority. Remember to try to go downstairs as early as possible."

"Thank you." After seeing Ximan off, Youxi closed the door and began to wash.

The hotel only supplies water for half an hour at night, and there is no water in the morning, but this has no effect on her.

She found a washbasin in the daily necessities of Xingwu Warehouse, made half of the hot water, and then washed it with the hotel toothbrush and toothpaste. After cleaning herself, she took out a small wonton and a box of soup buns from the warehouse.

This small wonton is a very famous bubble wonton. The bone soup base and transparent skin are floating in the soup one by one, with golden egg skin and green green green onion. The fresh fragrance makes people feel like they smell.

The soup bun is also well-known far and wide. It has a thin skin and a large filling. The soup color can be seen through the extremely thin dough. Use chopsticks to carefully pick up one and put it in a spoon. Bite a little bit of the skin and the delicious soup will flow into your mouth.

There are not many soup buns, six, plus small wontons, and you can just finish it in one meal.

You Xi sat in front of the coffee table in the living room, watching the lightening sky while eating breakfast. As more and more people woke up and found the water level downstairs, the voices in the corridor gradually became chaotic.

She began to reflect on whether she was a bit too much. Under the catastrophe, everyone was in danger, but she was eating breakfast just apart.

"Are I too leisurely to do this task?" she said so, but her hands and mouth still cooperated honestly until she drank the last bite of bone soup.

【…】

For some reason, she felt the star room's state of being reluctant to speak but stopping.

After packing the box, she put the half-drink mineral water bottle back into her backpack, and then put the backpack on her backpack and walked out of the room.

The corridor was a little confused. The guests who had been resting for a night had not yet recovered from the tsunami disaster. They saw the half-retreated sea water downstairs, and they were all panicked.

The seawater has been slow to recede after the tsunami, most of which are due to terrain problems, such as the high coastal location and low terrain in the central region, and some of the seawater will remain in low-lying places when it recedes.

But even in that case, the waterline will drop significantly. Now, not only hasn't dropped at all, but has also risen a few steps, just like... it's like the entire island has been flooded into the sea...

Anomalous phenomena will inevitably lead to invisible panic, and panic is often the beginning of chaos.

You Xi knocked on the door of Yuan Qi next door. She didn't know if she hadn't slept all night, her face was pale and her eyes were swollen, and she looked a little distraught.

"What's the matter?" She lowered her voice, probably afraid of waking the child.
To be continued...
