Chapter 37: There is a dark future and a bright future

Jiang Yitong took the water, but before he could drink it, Jiang Peng dived into the water again.

With a faint sigh, Jiang Yitong opened a bottle of water and drank it.

Jiang Peng's second diving time was increased to about two minutes. This time, Jiang Peng brought back some food.

"Only these packaged breads can be eaten, the rest are soaked in water."

Jiang Yitong took the bread and looked at the panting Jiang Peng, feeling a little distressed.

"Why don't you take a break?"

Jiang Peng shook his head, pinched his nose, and dived into the water again.

But this time, Jiang Peng dived for five minutes without showing his head, and Jiang Yitong couldn't help but become worried again.

"Jiang Peng has been down for so long, why hasn't he come up yet? Could something happen?" Jiang Yitong looked at the dark bottom of the water, thinking worriedly.

Taking out his mobile phone, Jiang Yitong also turned on the flashlight. A little light dispelled the gloom in his heart, and Jiang Yitong felt a little better.

"Gulu gulu." A burst of bubbles suddenly appeared on the water surface, and Jiang Peng's figure appeared.

"Jiang Peng!" Jiang Yitong screamed and almost couldn't control himself and rushed over.

"Ahem." Jiang Peng coughed up some water, grinned, pointed at his body, and said with a smile: "Look what I found."

Jiang Yitong looked carefully and saw that Jiang Peng was also wearing a life jacket.

"Did you find the life jacket? Why did it take so long?" Jiang Yitong said in surprise.

Jiang Peng nodded.

"There is a small attic in the convenience store. I found a life jacket there. Unfortunately, the owner of this store must have left Chinatown early to seek refuge. The iron door on the second floor was locked. I shouted for a long time and no one opened the door."

Jiang Peng said with a look of regret on his face.

"That's right. In this case, having a life jacket is like having a second life." Jiang Yitong said with satisfaction.

"Hehe, it's not just that." Jiang Peng smiled mysteriously and took out something more.

"I also found a strong waterproof flashlight, which has a visibility of nearly five meters underwater. There is also a safety rope that can tie the two of us together. If something happens, there will be someone to take care of us."

Jiang Yitong didn't feel anything when he heard the bright flashlight, but when he heard Jiang Peng say the words "tied together", his face immediately turned red.

Fortunately, it was night now and it was raining heavily outside. Jiang Peng didn't notice Jiang Yitong's face at all.

Jiang Peng also drank some water, ate some bread, and then used a safety rope to secure himself and Jiang Yitong together. In this way, unless the two of them were washed away together, there would be care between them.

"Let's keep walking." Jiang Peng turned on the flashlight, and a dazzling and powerful beam of light suddenly appeared. Jiang Yitong had been in the dark for a long time, and he was still not used to this kind of light, so he squinted his eyes slightly.

"Let's go, walk slowly, let's explore along the street." Jiang Peng held the flashlight, illuminated the road ahead, and moved forward slowly, leaning on the edge of the Tangren street.

Jiang Yitong followed Jiang Peng. The two were now connected by a safety rope, and Jiang Peng also had a life jacket on him, making him much safer than before.

"Dong dong." After walking for a while, Jiang Yitong was groping in the water when two strange sounds suddenly came from her ears, which startled her.

Slowing down, Jiang Yitong was a little confused. However, the rain outside was very loud. After waiting for a while, there was no sound again. Jiang Yitong thought he heard wrongly.

"Dong dong." There were two more knocking sounds. Jiang Yitong was sure that he heard correctly this time. The sound should have come from along the wall.

"Jiang Peng, wait a minute." Jiang Yitong pulled the safety rope and signaled Jiang Peng to stop.

Jiang Peng felt the pull of the rope, stopped, turned his head and looked at Jiang Yitong.

"What's wrong?"

After hearing Jiang Peng's question, Jiang Yitong

Pointing to the bungalow next to him, he said, "I heard banging."

Jiang Peng approached Jiang Yitong, pointed at the wall, and asked, "Do you think there is anyone inside?"

Jiang Yitong shook his head and said, "I don't know, but I am sure that I heard a knocking sound."

Jiang Peng thought for a moment, took out his flashlight, pointed it at the sky, turned it on and off rhythmically, and shouted loudly: "Is anyone here?"

The rain was pouring down, and the sound of rainwater hitting the water was loud. Jiang Peng's voice was obscured, but the light beam of the flashlight was extremely clear.

The soaring light beam was so conspicuous in the dark night sky. Soon, the knocking sound sounded again. This time, it was a rhythmic "dong", "dong dong" and "dong dong dong".

Jiang Peng also heard the sound, swam to a slightly outside position, raised his head and looked up.

A beam of light appeared on the roof of the bungalow, and in the wind and rain, a woman holding an umbrella appeared on the roof.

Jiang Peng squinted slightly. His eyesight was good. Although the rain was heavy, Jiang Peng could still identify the person.

It's Mrs. Chen from the Chinatown Street Clinic.

"Mrs. Chen!" Jiang Peng shouted loudly.

"Little Jiang!" Mrs. Chen held an umbrella and the flashlight light shone beside Jiang Peng.

The first floor of a house in Chinatown is basically shop fronts, and the second and third floors are residences.

The current water level has completely submerged the first floor and penetrated into the second floor, while Jiang Peng's home is still inside.

Conservative estimates suggest that the second floor is also very dangerous.

Mrs. Chen's clinic has been flooded. She stood on the roof of the building, her face covered with rain, and shouted anxiously.

"Xiao Jiang, why are you in the water? How can I pull you up!"

Jiang Peng waved his hands and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Mrs. Chen, have you seen my daughter? Is she back this afternoon?"

Mrs. Chen held the umbrella tightly, thought for a while, and said: "I don't know very well. When it starts to rain heavily in the afternoon, there will be no patients, so I will close the door early."

Jiang Peng sighed, pointed in the direction of his home, and said, "Mrs. Chen, I want to go back and see my daughter. The water is too heavy and the house is not safe!"

Mrs. Chen shook her head and said: "There is no way, the phone will not get through now, and the electricity will be cut off."

"Mrs. Chen, you wait for me in the house first. I'll go back and take a look first, and then I'll think of a solution. If it rains like this, the house will be washed away sooner or later."

After Jiang Peng finished speaking, Mrs. Chen started to tremble all over.

"I'll trouble you, Xiao Jiang, I'll wait in the room..." Before Mrs. Chen could finish her words, she heard Jiang Yitong yell.

"careful!"

Jiang Peng raised his eyes and saw another huge wave approaching three meters approaching.

"Get in the house quickly." Jiang Peng shouted, and suddenly found that there were no shelters or objects to grab around, and he couldn't help but panic.

Mrs. Chen who was on the roof also saw the huge waves and immediately ran back to the house screaming.

Because Jiang Peng wanted to talk to Mrs. Chen, he was located slightly in the center of the street, while Jiang Yitong was located on both sides of the street, leaning against the wall.

A huge wave hit, and Jiang Peng could not escape for a moment, but suddenly felt a pull on his waist.

He kicked his legs hard, followed the pull, and swam towards the street.

The huge wave finally approached, but luckily Jiang Peng held on to the wall and withstood the impact of the wave.

Jiang Peng just wanted to thank Jiang Yitong, but he didn't see her figure.

But the next moment, a huge force came and Jiang Peng's entire body was carried backwards.

Jiang Yitong was washed away by the waves!

Jiang Peng was immediately anxious. Without thinking, he relaxed his body, followed the waves, and swam forward.

While swimming, Jiang Peng tried to pull the safety rope towards him, but the waves were coming fiercely and the safety rope was stretched straight.

The waves are running along the entrance of Chinatown. It won’t go on like this.

It was a solution. Since he couldn't pull him over, Jiang Peng pulled the rope and swam towards Jiang Yitong.

This wave was so strong that it took Jiang Yitong forward very quickly. Jiang Peng pulled the rope hard and got closer to Jiang Yitong. It was difficult to control his body in the water. Jiang Peng's hands used their maximum strength, and the palms of their hands were already worn out.

, but he still didn't give up.

After using the strength of nine cows and two tigers, Jiang Peng finally came to Jiang Yitong's side.

Fortunately, he had a life jacket. Jiang Yitong only took a sip of water and floated up.

"Are you okay?" Jiang Peng pulled Jiang Yitong and walked along the waves.

"Ahem, I'm fine, why are you here?" Jiang Yitong coughed up some rainwater and responded.

"Are you desperate for your life? The waves are coming. Find a place to hide quickly. Are you coming to pull me out?" Jiang Peng said with a frown.

"It's not just to save you!" Jiang Yitong said aggrievedly. If it hadn't rained too hard, Jiang Yitong would have had a good argument with Jiang Peng.

"Now all the hard work has been wasted." Jiang Peng and Jiang Yitong could not control their bodies now and could only move forward along the turbulent waves.

At this moment, Jiang Peng's expression suddenly changed and he hugged Jiang Yitong tightly.

"Hey, what are you doing!" Jiang Yitong was immediately embarrassed. He didn't expect that Jiang Peng would still want to take advantage of him at this time.

But before she had finished thinking about this idea, Jiang Yitong felt a strong force coming from her, and her and Jiang Peng's positions were instantly reversed.

"Why..." Before he could say anything, Jiang Yitong raised his eyes and finally understood why Jiang Peng wanted to change places with him.

Because the front is a corner of Chinatown.
