The sound in her ears became louder, the waves were rising and raging, the sound of buildings being smashed and broken, the roar of cars, and people screaming and calling for help in fear and despair. She saw that fragile low-rise buildings were constantly being collapsed, and some were flimsy.

The high-rise buildings were shaken to the point of collapse.

The speed of the sea water was extremely fast, and it was close in a blink of an eye. The waves were a little lower than before, but they still swallowed up all the buildings below the third floor.

The cars on the road in front of the "Ruonaya" hotel seemed to be swept up by the leaves of the stream. The cars were like toy cars that were hit by the waves and hit the hotel wall. They broke through the wall amidst the panicked voices of the tourists and were finally swallowed up one by one.

Flood instantly poured into the courtyard and swimming pool downstairs, then smashed the glass and poured into the hotel lobby.

The triangular building shook slightly, You Xi squatted down, his heart beating wildly.

Although she was fully prepared, at this moment, facing the roar of nature, she still felt trembling and fearful.

The cries for help became clearer and clearer, including the cries of children and the screams of panic and despair from adults.

Some people climbed to a higher place and kept calling for their relatives. Some people managed to hold onto tree trunks or buildings to save their lives, but were carried away by the collision of broken construction debris in the water.

She saw on the terrace next door, the woman before was also holding the railing and half-kneeling there. She looked pale at the tsunami hell below. Her child called her several times from the door to no avail. She opened her short legs and ran out to hug her.

Live her.

"Mom, water... so much water..." He opened his eyes wide and looked down at the terrace in surprise.

The woman subconsciously hugged him and held his small body tightly in her arms, as if she was afraid that if she let go, her baby would be ruthlessly swept away by the sea like the people below.

The tsunami wave has passed through the hotel and continues to move towards the north. However, there is still a steady flow of water coming from the south. The color of these water flows is darker, gray-black, and mixed with more debris from buildings and vehicles.

People helplessly struggling to float in the current... and floating corpses.

The water surface is still rising rapidly, and the heavy rain comes with the tsunami, carrying the smell of damp sea, and falling quickly and fiercely.

You Xi hurriedly returned to the room and closed the sliding glass door tightly. There were panicked voices and footsteps outside the room door.

Many people were swept away by the water, but there were also many people who were lucky enough to stay upstairs when the tsunami hit or reacted in time and ran to a higher floor and survived.

The heavy rain continued to pound on the sliding glass door, and the whole sky seemed to collapse.

The heavy rain caused by this tsunami did not gradually stop until the evening, and during this period, another wave of tsunami came, setting off higher waves on the original water surface.

The surrounding water engulfed all buildings below the fourth floor. After the rain stopped, the water level did not rise again, but it did not recede either.

Survivors in the water around them tried their best to get closer to the high-rise building. You Xi saw from upstairs that the hotel staff released several hand-rowed rubber boats, organized young, strong and uninjured men to go into the water to rescue people, and removed the people floating in the nearby water.

All the people were rescued. All of them were injured, and some were almost dying.

You Xi remembered that this mission was to escape from L Island, so even if she escaped the tsunami now, it did not mean that the mission was successful. She could not leave L Island by herself. She could not stay in the room all the time and had to go down and inquire.

She threw her mobile phone, passport and wallet directly into the Star House warehouse, put two bottles of water in her backpack, a bag of bread just bought from the small supermarket, some chocolate beef jerky lollipops and the like, then left the room and closed the door.

There were not many residents on the thirteenth floor originally, and it happened to be the afternoon when many guests went out to the beach, so there were even fewer people at this moment. You Xi passed by, and the doors of several rooms were open.

Some people's clothes were scattered all over the floor and they were packing their luggage in a panic; some people turned on the TV and kept changing channels to check the local news; some people were sitting on the floor wet, exposing their injured arms for their family members to disinfect and stop the bleeding; there were children

I cried loudly and called my mother, but my mother kept calling on her mobile phone over and over like a headless fly.

The hotel had not yet had a power outage, but You Xi did not plan to take the elevator for safety reasons. As soon as she reached the stairs, the hotel staff happened to open the door and walk into the corridor.

They came to comfort the residents. Upon notification from the staff, a representative was sent to each room with residents on this floor.

You Xi looked at it and saw that there were ten guests including her, which also represented the number of rooms on the thirteenth floor. Everyone was crowded in the slightly larger elevator waiting area, and a staff member smiled and said, "International

language.

"Don't panic, everyone. The tsunami has passed and the seawater should recede within a few hours. The phone in the room is not working now, the elevator has been disabled, and the water and electricity may be cut off at any time. But don't worry, there is a backup generator upstairs in the hotel.

, there is also a certain amount of water stored, but it cannot be wasted as before before the rescue response is officially received.

Water in the room is temporarily provided for half an hour every day, between 7 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. In addition, the hotel will provide free water for three meals a day from now on. The supply is limited to each guest. Guests can bring their room card and passport.

Go to the restaurant on the seventh floor to get it. You can only get one for each passport.

Finally, the hotel has been submerged below the fourth floor. Many guests and staff of our hotel have been swept away by the sea water and their whereabouts are unknown. However, manpower is currently being organized to help with the rescue work. There are many injured downstairs. I hope someone has the ability or someone to help.

Customers who understand medicine can take the initiative to join in and help each other..."

As soon as the staff finished speaking, the guests started talking one after another with various questions.

Some people didn't understand the language and said they didn't fully understand. Some said their passports were missing. Some asked about the situation outside and when rescue would come. Some cried and said they couldn't contact their family members and how to find someone to rescue them.

After You Xi heard the news she wanted, she still decided to go downstairs to take a look at the situation, and went to the restaurant on the seventh floor to get a meal. Although she was not short of food and drink, outstanding behavior in the general environment would only arouse suspicion, so it was better to keep a low profile.

.

There are also few residents on the twelfth floor. It seems that they have been notified. It is not chaotic. There are also residents holding room cards and passports in their hands, as if they want to go downstairs to receive meals.

The situation is similar on the 11th and 10th floors. There are obviously more people on the 9th floor. There are several people sitting or standing in the corridor. They are all wrapped in big hotel towels and holding a plastic bag with water in their hands, leaning there.

rest.

There were staff on the side, taking people into their rooms one by one.

Because this hotel is far away from the coast, it is expensive, and there are not many late-night snack shops around, so the occupancy rate is not high. You Xi is a little lucky, at least at this stage, it is not to the point where she needs to share a room with others

.

The follow-up depends on how many days it takes for rescue to arrive.

There are few rooms on the eighth floor, and most of the area is the hotel's supporting facilities. The indoor swimming pool, gym, and spa are all here. There are more than a dozen soaked survivors sitting on the carpet in the gym, and many of them have symptoms.

Injuries, but mostly minor injuries.

Two hotel staff held two medical kits and bandaged the injured with the cooperation of others.

A young girl walked through it with a worried face, as if she was looking for a lost relative.

Inside, there were people rescued from outside, as well as hotel guests - the rooms of these guests were flooded, and they had not yet had time to arrange rooms.

The south-facing building area expands outwards and is a semi-open-air coffee bar and bar and Western food area. At this moment, there are seven or eight people standing by the open-air fence, looking outside the hotel.

The water level stopped at the height of the fourth floor. Although there were high-rise buildings around, most of them were around the sixth or seventh floor. From the perspective of the eighth floor, the outside looked like a vast ocean.

The color of this vast ocean is gray-black, with various construction debris, garbage and corpses floating in it. A little further away, you can see survivors who were lucky enough to be rescued by people in other high-rise buildings. They are suffering from the loss of relatives or injuries.

And the cry of pain and despair.

No one spoke loudly. People at the fence were shocked by the scene. Some covered their mouths and cried, while others hugged their families tightly and were thankful that each other was still alive.

You Xi stood for a while and went down to the seventh floor.

There were slightly more people on this floor, and they were all queuing up outside the restaurant, waiting to get their meals. Half of them were wearing bath towels and looked embarrassed. She looked at the people who came out to get their meals. There were three dishes and rice in the transparent packaging box, and there was a small

A bowl of packed soup and a bottle of mineral water.

For free meals, it's not bad.

The ordering service in the restaurant was naturally cancelled. In fact, the existing cooked dishes and rice were also made at noon and were originally intended to be served in the evening buffet. However, in the middle of the work, the tsunami came.

After consuming these, according to the current situation and manpower of the hotel, we can only try to make some convenient food.

The rooms on the sixth floor are basically full. There is a staff member pushing a cart with hotel supplies in and out of the rooms on this floor, delivering blankets, bath towels, toiletries and slippers.

Painful wails came from the two rooms near the stairs. You Xi went over to take a look and found that there were several seriously injured patients inside. Some had their heads smashed and bleeding; some had fingers missing, and the skin and flesh of their shoulders were torn;

Someone's waist was pierced by building debris and he was lying there motionless.

Another had a broken leg, the bone protruded through the flesh and blood was flowing.

The two hotel staff were helpless. A young man not wearing a hotel uniform was instructing them to prepare things and disinfection equipment, as if he wanted to perform a simple operation on the other party.

A hotel staff member couldn't hold back and said sorry in the middle of helping. He covered his mouth and ran out of the room quickly, almost bumping into You Xi.

She held the other person steady with one hand, took out a bottle of Fengyoujing from her trouser pocket (Star House Warehouse) with the other hand, opened it and put it under his nose: "Are you okay?"

The overbearing cool smell of Fengyoujing dissipated the strong smell of blood. The other party endured the urge to vomit. When he looked up, his face was sweating and pale, and he nodded gratefully to her: "Thank you!"

"You're welcome." She sprinkled a little Fengyoujing on his clothes and hands, and then gave the whole bottle to him - so she bought two large boxes of 6ml Fengyoujing, each box cost 20

Bottle, "Do you remember me? I am a guest of the hotel."
