Apocalypse: My Sweetie Is Tough but Cute-Chapter 130 - 129: An Apocalyptic Life from Scratch (3)

Chapter 130: Chapter 129: An Apocalyptic Life from Scratch (3)

She dared not open the window, nor the door. The fear was enough to chill one’s heart when all that surrounded her was an empty expanse, and all that existed between heaven and earth was the flood.

Especially when occasionally, upon the water surface, she saw pale, stiff, floating corpses, Su Shu was so scared that she stepped back several steps, her lips trembling.

Yes, in her previous life, before she was rescued, the flood had already submerged everything around Linjiang.

She had never seen so many dead people in her life.

She forgot how she managed to dial the emergency number, but initially, her first thought was to find Shen Han, yet his phone could not get through despite hearing the connecting tone. It just wouldn’t be answered. After several attempts and her phone was nearly out of battery, she remembered to dial 110 for emergency help.

Perhaps, indeed, heaven wasn’t ready to take her, or maybe she just had a large destiny.

Just before the last rescue team was about to leave after their patrol, they received orders from their superiors that there was still one trapped civilian in a certain residential area who needed to be rescued.

Su Shu waited anxiously for the rescue soldiers to arrive. While waiting, she forced herself to calm down, picking out important things from her home, especially when she reached for a drawer filled with chocolate and candy snacks, which she hastily packed into a small backpack before continuing to wait anxiously and nervously.

The five soldiers who came to rescue her rowed a kayak, immediately putting an emergency jacket on her, rowing through the cold river water, also braving the risk of being flipped by the torrential rain. Su Shu was very grateful.

She stuffed all the high-calorie snacks from her pocket into their military uniform pockets, even though their clothes were all wet.

She knew, with the high-intensity rescue task, they might not even have the chance to eat a warm meal or drink any water.

An hour later, she was taken to the second shelter, a high school in East City, just three kilometers from the gymnasium.

After staying there alone and scared for two weeks, the government, for easier management, merged her and other displaced persons from six nearby shelters with those from the gymnasium into the East City First Shelter Camp.

After the merger, Su Shu, looking utterly disheveled, spotted Shen Han and Jiang Meili standing leisurely in the distance, casually holding coffee and chatting.

Why did she go up and greet them at that time?

Sitting in the hotel suite now, Su Shu thought that she must have been crazy back then.

A children’s drawing was displayed in front of her, snapping her out of her reverie.

“Xiao’ai, this is really awesome!” she praised with a smile.

Xiao’ai shyly took back the drawing and turned to continue with a second one.

She leaned forward, gently patting the little girl’s shoulder.

“Xiao’ai, are you hungry? Should Auntie make some milk powder for you?”

Xiao’ai nodded while speaking.

Distanced from her memories, Su Shu got up, walked over to the table, boiled hot water, and made a cup of hot milk for Xiao’ai.

For herself, she used the remaining hot water to make a bowl of instant noodles and ate it simply.

By evening, the atmosphere in the hotel had changed somewhat.

From time to time, there were loud arguments outside about fighting over rooms. Everyone knew East City was the highest and least dangerous area. Many were driving under heavy rain, and one could imagine how many accidents there were on the road.

The natural disaster wasn’t killing people, yet man-made disasters were already blooming everywhere.

For dinner, Su Shu called the front desk for a hotel meal.

When the dinner arrived, Su Shu went to open the door.

“Miss, your dinner is here.”

“Okay, thank you.”

Su Shu made room for the waiter to push the cart in and was just about to close the door when a shrill voice erupted outside.

“Hey! I like that room; it’s nice and big. I want that one!”

A woman in her thirties or forties pointed at Su Shu’s room while yelling at a female staff member.
