Chapter 33: Anxiety
Chapter 33: Anxiety
Yao Ran's wood-type ability is a support ability and can only speed up the growth of plants. However, when she was used as a human experiment subject in her previous life, her wood- type abilities evolved, and she gained wood-type healing ability.
As for now, because her ability level is too low, she cannot use the healing effects yet and can only grow plants.
Yao Ran stood in the middle of the planting room, spread her hands, and closed her eyes. A few seconds later, a green aura slowly emerged from her palm and slowly moved toward the planting pots.
When the green aura enveloped them, something slowly emerged from the soil.
Twenty seconds later, Yao Ran opened her eyes and gasped for air. She smiled as she looked at the little sprouts popping out of the soil in the planting pots.
It takes all her wood energy to germinate these seeds. After resting for a while, she came to the balcony and did the same thing with the potatoes and vegetables there.
When she exhausted her wood energy again, Yao Ran felt a splitting headache. She rubbed her forehead, sighed, and decided to train harder.
Yao Ran sat on the balcony for a while and vaguely heard movement outside. Taking out the night vision binoculars, she saw two middle-aged men wearing raincoats and life jackets paddling out from Building 1 in a kayak.
Watching them rowing hard, more and more people came to their windows to watch. Not long after, several people also came out of other buildings. Some of them had inflatable boats, while some of them had kayaks.
People without water transportation either sat on buckets and rowed with their hands or wore life jackets and swam in the murky water. However, the water flow was so fast that most of them were swept away and disappeared within a few seconds.
Seeing this scene, their relatives and friends could only shout their names and cry desperately. Once the flood engulfs them, their chance of survival is almost zero.
Yao Ran observed those people for more than twenty minutes and then went to sleep.
At the same time, more and more people are becoming anxious because they have nothing to eat. After those who went out came back, the initially quiet chat group became lively again. [0702: What should I do? It has been two hours, but my husband hasn't come back yet.] [1803: Is it your husband who went out just now? Why did he go out in such heavy rain?] [0702: We have a baby at home, and we have run out of diapers and milk powder.] [0401: My husband also went to the hospital to get medicine for the elderly at home.]
[1202: You guys actually have a boat. This is really impressive.]
[0401: I bought it when I was camping last time.]n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
[0306: I just opened the door and saw that the water had risen again, and the rain seemed to be getting heavier. Just now, several people disappeared after being sucked away by the water vortex. Could it be that they also...]
[0702: What are you talking about? My husband will come back!]
[0401: Are you cursing my husband? Be careful I tear your mouth apart!]
After the two women sent angry messages one after another, some people tried to comfort and ease the tension, but no one dared to go out to search for their husbands. Fortunately, the women's husbands returned safely at three o'clock in the morning and brought many supplies with them.
They also brought news that the government had taken over the three largest supermarkets in Juncheng City and set up multiple rescue points and shelters in high-rise office buildings and hotels.
Because of this news, the chat became lively again, and more people decided to go out to buy some food and medicine before the supplies were sold out.
Early the next morning, Yao Ran was woken up by a message notification. She reached for her phone and saw another warning from the government. After reading the warning message, she checked the community chat group.
Some people also got struck by lightning while fetching water from their balconies. Neither the ambulance nor the police could come, and the body can only be kept at home.
Some households in the community have too many people and insufficient food storage. Rescue was delayed, water levels continued to rise, and panic and anxiety were uncontrollable.
Last night, the water and gas were cut off, and the crowd became even quieter. However, some people are still posting videos showing rising water levels and photos of water reaching the ankles of a family living on the first floor.
Residents complained and hurriedly moved their things upstairs. Building 3 had many empty apartments. The people living on the first floor found one, broke the door open, and moved in.
Those who couldn't find a place to stay sent messages to the community chat group, asking who could accommodate them. They are willing to pay more as long as they have a place to live.
In a normal situation, this doesn't matter because neighbors usually help each other. However, not only was there a power outage, but the gas and water were also cut off. There is not much food left at home, so who dares invite people in?
The police could not be contacted, and no rescue was seen. It is easy to invite people but difficult to send them away. What if they come in and don't want to leave?
Finding shelter is a problem, but finding food is even more difficult. No one wanted to make enemies or cause trouble at home, so the chat group fell into silence again.
Residents who couldn't find a place to stay were annoyed but couldn't live on a damp and cold corridor. Adults can tolerate it, but what about children and the elderly?
Many people were unwilling, so they carried their things, climbed upstairs one by one, and knocked on the door, asking for help.
