Chapter 44 Beaver City 9

   Outside, the middle-aged man Li Youcai who recorded the household situation last time.

  He is also a tenant of this building, and because of the relationship of the street office, he has naturally become the person in charge of this building.

  The daily business is to coordinate the relationship between the floors and arrange the flooded tenants to the upstairs rooms.

  He has already approached Fu An'an once, just for this matter.

  The purpose this time is still the same.

  Looking at Fu Anan at the door, he said with a smile,

   "An'an is like this. There are really no places in the corridors and corridors. You and your brother are the only two in your room. Why don't you take in Da Liu and his family. Everyone upstairs and downstairs are neighbors anyway, please help."

   Fu Anan glanced at the young men and women next to the man, then shook her head.

   "Uncle Li, my brother said that he doesn't accept people from outside. Don't you live in a big house of 100 square meters on the seventh floor? Make room for them to live in."

  It wasn't that she didn't want to help, but she was afraid of drawing wolves into the house.

   What's more, going up to the fourth floor, there are not many people accepting the residents on the floors below, so he just grabbed her.

  Li Youcai always likes to be generous to others. He lives on the seventh floor and has never even brought out a bottle of mineral water.

  Fu An'an said softly, blocking the man's words back.

   It is not impossible to sleep in the stairwells and corridors.

   After Fu Anan finished speaking, she closed the door. Thinking about it, she felt that it was not safe, so she inserted the key in the lock hole and turned it around.

  Day 14 in Beaver City; Day 11 in heavy rain

  The heavy rain continued, half of the third floor was flooded.

   Fu Anan's cell phone has run out of battery, completely cutting off the source of outside information.

  However, the government’s news has not been updated a day ago. The last message released is to let the residents of Beaver City prepare enough food and try to save themselves.

  There are more and more people moving up, and people and items are all piled up in the corridor, crowded to the point where there is almost no place to go.

   bang bang bang—

  The door was knocked again.

  Fu Anan didn't open the door, but opened the blocked peephole to look outside.

  A child is being held by an adult, waving at her through the cat's eyes.

  Fu Anan pursed her lips slightly, and touched the doorknob repeatedly with her fingers, struggling between opening and not opening the door.

  Fu Anan looked at the adults behind the child, but did not open the door in the end.

   Covered the peephole again and checked the lock.

   There was the sound of the door opening nearby.

  The neighbor relented and welcomed the child and his family in.

  Fu Anan sat back by the window, looking at the rising water surface, wondering if the flood would submerge the sixth floor.

   Beaver City won't really turn into an ocean, will it?

   In addition to leaves and garbage, two swollen corpses floated on the turbid water.

   I don't know where it came from, but the corpse undoubtedly cast a shadow over people's hearts.

night

  Lightning and thunder, wind and rain, and the storm came again.

  Fu Anan fell asleep listening to the sound of heavy rain, and suddenly heard a shrill scream.

  The sharp and short voice woke Fu Anan up from her sleep.

   After listening carefully, except for the sound of thunder and wind and rain, the corridor and the next door are very quiet, as if it were an illusion.

  But Fu An'an's heart was beating extremely fast, and she lost sleepiness at all.

   It wasn't until the morning that Fu An'an fell asleep drowsily, and then was heard by the crackling voice at the door.

  The door lock is turning, and someone outside is opening the door with a key.

  Of course they couldn't open it, because Fu Anan blocked the lock with a key inside.

   Opening the cat's eyes, Fu An'an saw Li Youcai surrounded by several lower-level residents.

   "What are you guys doing?"
