Chapter 325 Returning to South China Sea Island(2/2)
At the same time, she also bought an inflatable boat in a small supermarket, and the island supermarket was mostly made of sea equipment.
The inflatable boat she bought was not the largest model in the supermarket. She could only sit four people and gave her a manual pump, life jacket, two folding paddles and repair tools along with the boat. After she entered the room, she first used a manual pump to vent the inflatable boat, and then put everything into the Star House warehouse. The inflatable boat just hovered above the shelf in case of emergency.
At 150 p.m., the five large buckets in the space were already filled with warm water.
You Xi stood up from the sofa, walked to the glass sliding door, and found that the color of the sky outside had changed at some point and was gloomy. She walked onto the terrace, and the sky was covered with dark clouds, which were pressed down very low, and there was almost no trace of sunlight.
She looked into the distance and couldn't see the sea from the hotel location. Next to the hotel pool downstairs, the hotel guests were still having fun playing with the water. You Xi felt a slight vibration, and she reached out to hold the railings of the terrace. It was indeed not an illusion, it was an earthquake!
The amplitude of the earthquake was very mild and the time was short. Just feeling the shaking and vibration, it stopped immediately.
The guest who was playing in the water downstairs seemed to have not noticed it at all. Instead, the guest from a room next to her opened the door and walked onto the terrace, looking around with a puzzled look on his face.
He was a woman in her thirties and should have looked from Beijing.
The other party was a little surprised and looked at You Xi and tried to speak: "Hello, are you from Beijing?"
You Xi nodded at her.
"Did you feel the house shaking just now? Is it an earthquake?"
"There is a slight tremor, there is an earthquake, but it should not be here, but other places." If you are not wrong, it should be an earthquake under the sea. It is estimated that this is also the cause of this tsunami.
The woman's face was still full of surprise. A three- or four-year-old boy walked out from behind the sliding door of the terrace. He had a chubby face, dark and big eyes, and was very cute. He hugged the woman's legs and called his mother, saying that he wanted to go down to play in the water.
The woman picked up the child and kissed her: "Yes, mom should take you downstairs first. If the earthquake occurs again, it will be too dangerous to stay upstairs..."
You Xi glanced at the little boy and said, "I suggest you call and ask the people in the hotel first."
The tsunami is coming soon. She doesn't know if the flood will affect this place. In this case, the upstairs must be safer than the downstairs.
But she could only remind her here, and there was no way to say anything. Fortunately, the woman was not very independent. When she was reminded by You Xi, she said thank you to her and went back to her room to call her.
At 2:05 pm, a noisy rumbling sound came from the south of the terrace. In the distance, at the end of sight, between the buildings, a gray waterline was invading little by little.
You Xi held the fence tightly and saw that the waterline became clear at a speed that was accessible to the naked eye. The sea water was higher than she expected, and the sight was far from the beach, but the backflow of sea water still swallowed up all the five or six-story buildings around.
The supermarket is not big and the shelves are not full. Some foods that require refrigeration and freezing, such as vegetables, fish and meat, have not been on the shelves, but these are not currently necessary.
For their group, there are enough things on the shelves now.
Lin Wu reminded before everyone got off the boat that the speedboat was heavy and was now full, so everyone's belongings should not be taken without a bottom line. It should be controlled around the weight of a suitcase, and try to take what they need most.
No one objected to this. Xiaolu glanced at the huge speedboat, lowered her voice and muttered, "It's obvious that the place is very big." Fang Zichen looked at her with disagreement, and she immediately stopped.
The elevator on the seventh floor is in the mall, and it has to pass through half of the building. There is no electricity in the mall and it is black everywhere. If you accidentally step on water or trip up by falling things, the doors in some places are washed away and the glass is broken.
However, when everyone finally walked to the ground, they found that the glass on both sides of the escalator had been completely washed away, the black handrails were hanging there, the steps were covered with broken glass, and the steps down the other side were covered with water.
