Chapter 8 A Bit Too Heroic
During the few seconds that Anjiu was stunned, more water seeped into the car and the living space became smaller.
The couple showed painful expressions, put their hands together and prayed to her desperately, while looking at the peaceful water world in the lower half of the car window in despair.
The man suddenly became excited, his clenched fists were so visibly white, and he smashed them hard on the glass that was covered with brown marks, leaving fresh blood marks on the unchanged window surface.
The new and old traces of survival superimposed together stung Anjiu's eyes.
She fished out the kitchen knife from the space underwater and swam over.
The heavy rain hit the car body, making crackling sounds, but it couldn't wash away the densely packed tiny dots on the inside of the glass.
A thought flashed through An Jiu's mind quickly, and she seemed to have forgotten something very important.
The forward momentum continued unabated and she crashed to a stop next to the car window.
The man's face quickly enlarged in front of her eyes, and he pounded the glass with his fists in great joy, and the sound came out dully.
His wife squeezed in from behind, her long wet hair tangled around her neck, her unmade-up face looked angular and a little too heroic.
The strange feeling in Anjiu's heart became stronger and stronger.
She turned her gaze to the left and her eyes suddenly widened. Those small dots turned out to be blood that was sprayed on!
Bang-!
There was a heavy blow on the glass window, and Anjiu turned his head to see two large faces with distorted features pressed closely together.
"help me!!"
Then he hammered on the glass as hard as a violent storm.
They almost shouted out those two words with all their strength. Anjiu could even see the thick white tongue coating, crowded teeth, and inflamed tonsils.
Anjiu paused and slowly looked towards the back row. Behind the glass, two people were moving in the same direction and squeezing at the edge of the glass, like a clown trying hard to please the customers. Their expressions were even more exaggerated and their saliva was flying.
A pair of comfortable soft-soled shoes was faintly visible in the muddy water that submerged the back row.
Anjiu gasped.
Behind the car window, the man slowly gave her a weird smile. Behind him, the child was still in the same position as before, and the rising muddy water had soaked half of her eyeballs.
There is still one person missing!
Where is that woman from before? Did she run away?
Anjiu frowned and looked around the car, and found that the woman was still there, but her movements were strange, with her head buried in the water and her butt raised high.
She seemed to sense something, took a deep breath, buried her head in the water, and opened her eyes.
The disappeared woman was now staring at the car window with her eyes wide open, her eyeballs motionless, staring at her underwater body like a dead person.
As if she had been waiting for this moment, the 'woman' moved closer, her forehead against the glass, and the corners of her mouth curled up in a hair-raising smile.
I had been watching you in the water, and finally you discovered me.
In an instant, all the blood in Anjiu's body rushed to his head, and the gas in his mouth rushed out, forming a big bubble that rapidly surged upwards.
The view was temporarily blocked.
Anjiu came back to her senses immediately. She pushed hard with both hands and emerged from the water. Raindrops as big as beans fell on her head.
The man in the car was still looking at her. As more water seeped in, the car body became more tilted and began to sink.
The water had already reached his mouth. Panic appeared in his eyes again. He spat out the water and smashed the glass with an innocent expression, asking for help.
Anjiu shook off the thoughts that were affecting her state and put the kitchen knife into the space. She wiped the rain off her face and looked around. There was no trace of the strong man on the vast water surface.
According to the route out of the community in his mind, Anjiu determined the direction and swam forward.
Behind me, the car was gradually buried by water.
The situation outside was a little worse than Anjiu had imagined.
Everywhere you look, there is water. There is no guard house, no roads, and even the two- or three-story houses have disappeared under the water. Some lush trees can only show their heads above the water.
In the yellow water floated a variety of household garbage and the bodies of stray cats and dogs that had drowned with no means of escape.
Anjiu had consumed too much energy to swim here, and the feeling of hunger made her limbs weak and her head dizzy.
It is very likely that you have hypoglycemia. You need to hurry and find the nearest safe place, preferably with food.
Finding a branch to leverage on, Anjiu gasped and caught the foam that was flowing past him, holding it over his head to shelter from the rain.
Maybe it was because she was too hungry, but an illusion appeared in front of her eyes. In the area between the foam board and the misty water surface, she saw a building shining in the distance?
Anjiu closed his eyes tightly and looked again.
The human eye automatically captures moving objects and is also attracted by bright lights in the dark.
She was not mistaken, the outline of the building was indeed shrouded in a very faint red light.
Is there electricity there?
As soon as this idea came to mind, it was rejected by Anjiu.
No, this light is too scattered, just like the Buddha's light that tourists accidentally photographed on the Internet.
She moved the foam sheet away and looked up. The crack-like winding electric light outlined the thick layer of accumulated rain all over the sky.
It is not the light leaking from the sky.
How did that come about…
Anjiu felt cold all over, shivering as he sank into the warm water, then covered his head with the foam again.
She had an inexplicable intuition that this matter was related to Miao Yan.
"hurry up."
The sudden appearance of the strange voice caused Anjiu to tense his body instantly. He moved silently, trying to hide behind the lush tree canopy.
Through the gaps between the branches, she saw three or four men rowing a rubber boat that they had obtained from somewhere, turning along the street.
As the other person got closer, the blurry features and shapes began to become clear.
Anjiu felt even more strange, and finally thought of a word that particularly described the other person - refugee.
Clothes piled up randomly, a bunch of shoes hanging on the chest, layers of scarves wrapped around the neck, and countless hats stacked together...
This is definitely not the behavior a normal person would have when escaping from a rainstorm!
When the bloated man chasing him appeared in his mind, Anjiu clenched his fingers.
They are in cahoots with Miao Yan!
When the rubber boat passed by, one of the people in it said, "This is the first time I've seen such heavy rain. It would be great if I could bring it back."
Someone replied: "When the rainy season comes, you will see it. If you soak in the water every day, I guarantee you will gain weight even if you don't eat."
"That's different. There's food everywhere here. Not only do I not have to worry about food, I can also find ways to lose weight." The man muttered, and the end of the spatula that served as a paddle swept across the tree branch, making a slight 'crackling' sound.
"Like this big tree, we have never seen it before."
