Qi Taiguo, who was being nagged by Mother Cheng, had just encountered a life-or-death battle. At this moment, he was struggling to carry a man up a utility pole.
"Get up, go to the roof next to us." Qi Taiguo urged in a deep voice, while being careful not to let his leg touch the water.
Why was this happening?
Just as the rescue was underway, a flash flood suddenly erupted from a distance. The water surface, already a small ocean, rose immediately, and some of the already precarious utility poles were washed down.
Qi Taiguo saw with his own eyes a utility pole several meters away from them, tilting, with its electric wire sparking, like a snake leaping in midair, about to fall.
What would happen if a wire sparking with electricity fell into the water? The thought of that scenario filled Qi Taiguo with dread, more than he had felt when facing bullets.
He urgently called for people to escape the water surface quickly. On his side, he first dragged Professor Zhong onto a utility pole, while keeping an eye on that electric snake. At the critical moment, his foot left the water surface just as that wire fell into the water.
He saw a dog electrocuted in the water without even a yelp, saw many fish flipping their white bellies and floating to the surface, and, in the distance, saw a person, after letting out a horrific scream, float to the surface...
Qi Taiguo retracted his gaze and urged Professor Zhong to climb up. It was a small two-story building, with people already on the roof.
With the assistance of people pulling and dragging, Professor Zhong reached the rooftop. Qi Taiguo immediately felt relieved and quickly leapt up to stand on the rooftop.
Professor Zhong, his hair white, slumped on the roof, gasping heavily— nearly unable to breathe.
He lifted his head and looked at his rescuer, who had his back turned, gazing at the watery expanse below.
Professor Zhong also looked over, swallowing hard. He almost ended up like the creatures floating on the water, becoming a lifeless thing.
