When she got home, it was just getting dark. Qiao Qingqing climbed up first. At the end of the rope, Shao's father pulled her up with force, saving her a lot of strength to climb. Then came Shao Sheng'an, and finally the assault boat was also lifted up.

"You are back. You have been out all day! Are you hungry or tired? My mother-in-law has boiled hot water for you. Go and take a shower quickly." Father Shao greeted with concern.

Qiao Qingqing and Shao Sheng'an quickly took a hot bath and ate hot meals. During the meal, Qiao Qingqing talked about Yuan Xiaowen's situation. Qiao Songzhi sighed: "She is still pregnant and she suffers."

"When we came up just now, we found that the water level has risen a lot, and it will flood the sixth floor tomorrow, depending on the situation." Shao Sheng'an changed the topic.

"Yes, yes, your elder brother has been watching for a day, it's rising." Shao's mother was very worried. Shao's father mentioned the old story again: "Don't you really need to move out first? The house is only on the eighth floor."

"No need for now. This is the highest place in this area. Even the tenth floor elsewhere has been flooded long ago. We have a assault boat, and it will be too late to leave when we have to."

Shao Shengfei interrupted: "It's so circling here, the car, go around the big circle! Climb the mountain!"

He still remembers taking the bus in Huacheng. Every time he comes, he yells excitedly in the car. His father scolds him hard before covering his mouth with his hands, and stares at the view outside the window.

Qiao Songzhi followed her husband to Huacheng to work hard in her early years. She had complex feelings for this city and was also very familiar with her.

"Thirty years ago, there were mountains everywhere here, and you had to climb hills wherever you went. Later, you built roads and stairs one after another to build houses. By the way, Huacheng used to be called Shancheng, but it was changed to its name twenty years ago."

"The flowers sound nice!" Shao Shengfei said loudly.

Everyone was amused, and a cheerful atmosphere lingered in the home.

The next two days, the accumulated water completely submerged the sixth floor. The water wave finally stopped at the entrance of the stairs on the seventh floor. The broken basin wrapped in the flood hit the wall. The water waves rippled slightly, and the closed doors splashed a few drops of moisture.

After that, the water level stagnated, neither rising nor retreating, and the flood era began.

As the water level stopped fluctuating and heavy rain stopped, people trapped in the buildings finally began to go out. Many families have kayaks in their hands. After all, they have to continue working when the water level is not that high. They can't get out without kayaks. However, kayaks are not daily necessities in normal times and their output is limited. Even if they speed up work later, there are not many floods and inland flower cities across the country, and many people still cannot buy them, so they can only use pots or barrels.

When I came to the road, I looked around in a daze, and there was water everywhere. The whole world seemed to be raised by more than ten meters. All the landmarks disappeared. All I could see were the floors of high-rise buildings exposed to the water, which made people feel strange.

"The communication is not good enough. It's strange that there is no signal when I get that radio."

"This is too weird. Even the radio can't be used. The radio is wireless..."

In the corridor, residents gathered together to discuss, but they were all ordinary people, unable to discuss more complex things, and focused more on the current dilemma. Soon, everyone was discussing going out to find fuel. The natural gas in the community has been stopped for a long time, and no one can bear it when eating cold food.

"I remember there was a store behind the farmers' market in front selling gas tanks. I don't know if I can find it."

"I think it's hard. It's the first floor there, and it's already flooded."

"It was just the first floor, so it was flooded early. I thought there might be gas tanks left in the store."

Chen Binggang looked at Zheng Tiehui: "Can you lend me your assault boat? If I can find the gas tank, I will give you a bottle."

Grandma Wang also immediately looked at Qiao Qingqing: "My home is also OK."

Qiao Qingqing nodded: "Yes."

Zheng Tiehui smiled and said, "Of course it's OK. They are all neighbors, everyone helps each other."

No one from Qiao Qingqing and his family went out, and they only said that the alcohol fuel they bought when they went to Furun Supermarket last time had not been used up yet, so they are not in a hurry.

"They can't go down. The water is too deep. It's impossible to sneak into the shop on the first floor without equipment." Shao Sheng'an said that when he went into the water to get Lin Mingyong's treasure chest, he dared to go down after wearing a full set of equipment.

"Zheng Tiehui is equipped." Qiao Qingqing looked at the rippling water waves outside the balcony and smiled coldly, "He won't take it out this time. He will first let others feel the indispensable diving equipment, and then take it out like a savior."

Is it interesting? There are only four families left in this building, but Zheng Tiehui regards this place as a battlefield, plots people's hearts and "strategizes". Perhaps this is really interesting in the closed environment here.

How many Zheng Tiehui are there in this doomsday waters?

Sure enough, Zheng Tiehui and the others came back from nothing, and they were all wet because they went into the water, with a heavy expression. At night, everyone was having a meeting in the corridor again. Chen Binggang pointed out: "Without diving equipment, no one can dive as deep as empty."

"If I weren't engaged in related work, who would have nothing to do to get that kind of thing at home?" Grandma Wang's grandson Wang Jiale complained, "I told me not to work hard. Even if I dive, I might not be able to find a gas tank. The weather is not cold now, and it's okay to eat cold food. Now the rain has stopped, and the water level will definitely drop. If it doesn't drop today and tomorrow, it will definitely drop in the future. Don't worry."

"How can you not be in a hurry? Although there are rescue planes to deliver supplies now, it is obvious that there is a shortage of supplies. All the supplies are compressed food. The situation is not optimistic. Do you think about the water level? Is it normal? It is abnormal! If you don't take advantage of the rain and the water level is temporarily stopped and I will go out to find supplies, I am afraid that I can't even eat cold mineral water with compressed biscuits in the future." Zheng Tiehui said.

The atmosphere was solemn, and everyone's faces were not good-looking under the candlelight.

Be prepared for danger in times of peace, not to mention that the current situation is not considered "safe".

Seeing that the atmosphere was almost set off, Qiao Qingqing sat next to Shao Sheng'an. When she saw Zheng Tiehui and his son winked, Zheng Liangdong rolled his eyes reluctantly, and coughed and was about to speak.

She knew that Zheng Liangdong would be the same as in her previous life, and said that he had secretly hidden a set of diving equipment at home. Then Zheng Tiehui pretended to criticize his son for such a big deal. Why didn’t he say it earlier? The father and son played a clumsy drama in real or fake way. Finally, Zheng Tiehui began to use this set of diving equipment to control the people in the building.

"My family has diving equipment, and I can lend each of you one set." Qiao Qingqing spoke.

The candlelight swayed, and there was silence, followed by Chen Binggang's excited question: "Really? You actually have one in your family, and you can borrow one for each family?"

"Why didn't you say that yesterday?" Wang Jiale blurted out.

Qiao Qingqing didn't seem to feel the awkward atmosphere: "Because I feel that it's too proactive to give, it's like a sucker. Now the world is like this, I have to plan for my own home. If your family has diving equipment, would you take the initiative to give it out when your neighbors don't need it yet and beg your neighbors to borrow their own equipment? You went out to inquire yesterday and knew the importance of this thing. I think now is the most suitable time."

Her words were too straightforward and calm, and she recognized her selfishness, which made others unable to criticize her.

Wang Jiale touched his head: "You are right, Qingqing, then do you need any conditions for us to borrow equipment?"

Zheng Tiehui said: "It's all neighbors, Xiao Qiao, you're so disgusting. We're going out this time and you'll be very guilty. You'd say you're equipped, alas!"

"Uncle Zheng, when you moved back that day, I seemed to see diving equipment in your luggage. It seems that your family doesn't have to borrow it from me." Qiao Qingqing smiled, and Zheng Tiehui cursed in his heart. He felt that the other people looked at him incorrectly.

Damn, the opportunity was snatched by this girl Qiao Qingqing. Now, what's the use of telling him that he has equipment?

Yesterday he deliberately let others go into the water, let them experience the difficulties under the water personally, and come to show their kindness again. He thought it very clearly, and they would definitely suspect that he did it on purpose, so the diving equipment cannot be revealed, and he has to let his son come. He pretended to criticize his son for a few more words. This matter will be over. As long as he holds the equipment, even if others mutter in their hearts, it is his power!

Who would have thought that Qiao Qingqing suddenly popped up and admitted that she was waiting for her neighbors to stand up before she needed help, for nothing else, just to "don't be like a sucker". Is this reasonable? It's also reasonable! As a result, the performance he and his son agreed on was so clumsy and ridiculous!

Zheng Tiehui immediately decided to deny it and pretended to be puzzled: "My family does not have diving equipment, Xiao Qiao, you must have read it wrong, haha."

"Is that so? I probably saw it wrong." Qiao Qingqing said with a smile, "Then let's talk about the details of the rental equipment now. I have no other requirements. You can take out a gold product and give it to me, and that set of diving equipment will belong to you."

"Gold products? Are gold rings and gold necklaces?" Chen Binggang asked. "Is the money okay? Can I give you the original price of ten times the price?"

"Uncle Chen, you know whether the money is OK? Now it's useless. Where can I spend it with the money? Even if it's ten times, now the supplies are so scarce, and there's no place to buy it. It didn't mean to me before. What I wanted was gold, or jade bracelets, etc. A set of professional diving equipment was not low before. If you really count it, it might not be as good as gold products that can be exchanged and the equipment can be used, but gold can only be appreciated and collected at home while hungry. Please consider it."

In the end, everyone changed, and each household changed one set, Qiao Qingqing got two rings and a gold chain.

After the transaction was completed, she put the things into the space and felt the joyful mood of space will again. She looked at the larger space and felt happy, and she was mutually beneficial. She would make full use of the space and overcome this difficulty with her family.

"Zheng Tiehui's face looked ugly. He was so proud that he forced himself to deny that there was no diving equipment at home and he even changed it with us." Shao Sheng'an said.

"He is such a person. From another perspective, a person like him is not "successful". No matter what situation he is, I actually admire him, as long as he does not affect my life."

"He doesn't look so arrogant, I will pay attention to him in the future."

Qiao Qingqing smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will pay attention."
