The World Enters The Era Of The Great Flood

Chapter 4 Footprints

Back at home, Su Li put down the clothes rail, and his mind was full of the bloated female corpse that had been eaten to blood. His mind was very confused, and it took a long time to calm down again.

“Now should I stay here, waiting for rescue, or find a way to leave here and find a way out, or there are survivors like me in this city?”

Su Li took off his shoes and socks that had just entered the water and got soaked.

Putting on a pair of clean shoes, he walked to the balcony window, thinking.

Looking at the water outside the window, there are sporadic high-rise buildings emerging from the water in the distance. All these buildings that can emerge from the water are thirty-story and above buildings.

Looking at these buildings emerging from the water, Su Li couldn’t help but wonder if there were any survivors like himself in these buildings? If so, it is better to find them than to be alone.

Of course, there are also unknown risks along the way. The corpse that was eaten just now left a shadow on Su Li’s heart, always feeling a little uneasy.

“Or temporarily stay and wait for rescue, maybe there will be a rescue team soon, but that’s not necessarily true.”

The only thing that Suli feels fortunate is that he lives alone. In order to save trouble, he prepared a few bags of instant noodles at home and bought some biscuits and bread for breakfast, all stacked in the refrigerator.

It’s okay to stick to food for four or five days just by yourself.

After thinking about it for a while, Su Li decided to prepare with both hands.

One is to stay here temporarily, hoping that there will be a turnaround or rescue workers will appear. The second is to make a simple raft by hand. If no rescuers have appeared in the past few days, they can only venture out on the raft and take the initiative to find other ways to survive.

After making a decision, Su Li’s heart became a little more relaxed. First he took out a bag of biscuits from the refrigerator and tore it open. He started to get busy while eating. The only thing he felt fortunate was that the water hadn’t stopped for a while, so he took out the kettle. Filled with water, and then turned on the stove to boil water.

He still uses the old-fashioned canned liquefied petroleum gas, but he rarely cooks with a fire. This month, the fire is always on once. It was Wang Lan and a few friends who came to his house for dinner. He hardly used it when he was alone.

And now he would like to thank him for having this tank of liquefied gas, otherwise it would be difficult to drink hot water now.

“Bring more water. Although the water hasn’t stopped right now, since the power has been cut off, I’m afraid the water may stop at any time.”

Although Zurich does not know the specific reason, it may be because of the different lines. Although the power was cut off, the water has not stopped for the time being.

In addition to preparing hot water, Zuli was also looking for various tools around the house, and soon found some iron nails, two screwdrivers, vise, scissors, lighter, a hammer, and by the way the kitchen knife, The fruit knives were collected and stacked together on the coffee table in the living room, ready for use at any time.

After eating the biscuits, drinking some water, and filling his stomach, Zuli started to work. His idea was to go up to the top floor and release heavy smoke to attract the attention of outside rescuers, of course, if there were rescuers.

After that, make a simple raft to prepare for the occasional need.

He found some old clothes from home, including a quilt, a pair of plastic slippers, and several plastic bags. Then he took a lighter and prepared to go out.

He wants to carry these things up to the roof, and then set them on fire, hoping to create a lot of dense smoke.

If there is a rescue team, and seeing a lot of man-made smoke coming out here, they must know that there are survivors here, and he will be saved at that time.

Su Li opened the door and was about to go out holding the things, but suddenly stopped, eyes falling on the corridor in front of him.

He saw wet footprints in the corridor ahead. The footprints appeared from the end of the corridor and extended all the way to the outside of the house where the young couple lived.

Su Li’s heart jumped wildly.

Looking at the wet footprints, Su Limingbai was not the footprints left by him. The footprints left by the water on his feet before were already dry, and the wet footprints left on the corridor in front of him were obviously Someone just walked by and stayed behind, and it didn’t take long, otherwise the footprints would be dry soon.

“Could it be that there are other people here besides me? I just walked over the stairs and entered the house where the couple lived? It’s just that the stairs outside are flooded. How did this person come here?”

Su Li looked at the concealed door and wanted to rush in to see what was going on, but there was a faint fear deep in her heart, always feeling that this matter was a bit weird.

He did not rashly impulsive, but quickly returned home, put down the quilt and clothes he was holding in his hand, and then picked up the kitchen knife and the hammer that were placed on the coffee table.

Holding a kitchen knife and a hammer, and armed with a self-defense weapon, he felt a little more at ease, courageous, took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and walked out again, wanting to see what happened.

“It would be great if there were other survivors.” Su Li thought silently.

Facing all kinds of unknowns alone, not only loneliness, but also the kind of fear of the unknown, which hung in his heart all the time, making him feel extremely depressed. He was very afraid to continue like this, I was afraid that it would not take long. Will collapse, he is eager to see other living people, companions, even a dog is good.

Soon, Su Li walked outside the door, looking at the concealed security door and the wet footprints in front of the door.

Getting closer, Su Li found that there were a lot of water marks on both sides of the footprints. Obviously, the person who left the footprints was not just a pair of shoes wet, but was soaked all over, so when he walked over, not only It left a row of wet footprints, dripping water all over his body, leaving a lot of water marks on the ground.

However, as time went by, these traces of water were slowly evaporating, and Zuri was so close at the moment that he noticed it.

Su Li clenched the hammer and kitchen knife in his hand, did not immediately push the door to look at it, moved his throat, swallowed, and finally made a voice: “Is anyone?”

Except for his voice, there was dead silence in the corridor and the house.

Su Li paused for a few seconds, then asked again, listening carefully to the movement in the house.

Suddenly, he heard a sound coming from inside. It was like the sound of a chair being moved. In such a quiet place, the sound became extremely loud. It sounded like a person was turning around accidentally. The sound made by touching the chair.

“Is there really someone inside? Just why didn’t you answer me?”

Su Li finally couldn’t help it. As soon as the right hand holding the hammer lifted, he was about to push the hidden door open.
