Zhao Qing looked at Li Mu and excitedly hugged him, saying, "Thank you, Li Mu, thank you so much."

Jiang Hui, standing beside her, was equally excited. She hadn't expected Li Mu to come under these circumstances, bringing a helicopter and a speedboat. It was like a hero had descended from the sky.

Li Mu asked, "Where are they?"

Zhao Qing quickly led the way: "Here, Qing Ning is here..."

Following her into a bedroom, Li Mu saw Qing Ning, who was delirious from the fever. Surprisingly, she was quite pretty, with a sickly appearance and a touch of Lin Daiyu's gentle and beautiful temperament.

He touched her forehead; it was still quite hot. Qing Ning looked up at Li Mu and knew he had come specifically to rescue her.

She whispered, "Thank you!"

Li Mu said, "It's nothing."

As she spoke, she turned to look at Zhao Qing: "Has she packed her things?"

Zhao Qing nodded vigorously: "Okay, it's all packed up in advance."

"Alright, let's go!" With that, he stepped forward, wrapped Qing Ning in the blanket, picked her up, and headed downstairs towards the speedboat.

Zhao Qing quickly followed behind, carrying her things. They boarded the speedboat, rowed out of the hall, and soon arrived at another villa. After carrying Qing Ning onto the helicopter, Zhao Qing followed and placed her things inside.

Li Mu looked at Zhao Qing: "Sister Qing, are you going to take the helicopter or go back to the villa? If you're going back to the villa, I'll take you there in a speedboat."

Zhao Qing hesitated for a moment before asking, "Can we come with you?"

Li Mu said, "You..."

Zhao Qing said apologetically, "The rain keeps falling and I don't know when it will stop. Nobody knows if there will be any more accidents. If that happens, I'll have to trouble you again. It's better if we move over together."

Without hesitation, Li Mu replied, "That's possible. I told you about the situation over there last time..."

Zhao Qing nodded repeatedly, like a chick pecking at rice: "We know, we will definitely abide by it."

Li Mu said, "Alright!"

Zhao Qing said happily, "Thank you, Li Mu."

"Just give us five minutes, and we'll definitely get everything ready."

Li Mu said, "Let's go, I'll take you back to the villa over there!"

Back at the villa, Zhao Qing spoke, and the group immediately began packing their things, clearly having reached a tacit understanding beforehand.

It's often said that women are slow and procrastinate, but that's only true when something serious happens. In just three or four minutes, several girls came over carrying large and small bags.

After Jiang Hui finished putting her bag down, Li Mu pulled her onto the speedboat. The girls glanced longingly at the villa. If the situation hadn't been so dangerous, and if they hadn't gotten along well and felt relatively relaxed after living there for so long, they really wouldn't have wanted to leave.

Li Mu said, "Once the flood has passed and order has been restored, you can come and stay here if you wish."

Jiang Hui whispered, "Li Mu, thank you." She glanced at him as she spoke, her face slightly flushed.

"You're welcome," Li Mu said calmly.

……

Soon, the girls boarded the helicopter, while Li Mu left the assault boat behind so it could be used in case of emergency.

A few minutes later, the helicopter landed on the rooftop helipad of the Muwu Building, where medical staff were already waiting. Qingning was placed on a stretcher and taken to the hospital on the fifteenth floor for treatment.

After everyone disembarked from the helicopter and the tarpaulin was put back on, Sun Yuan walked over and whispered, "Sir, what should we do with those young ladies?"

Li Mu said, "In the women's dormitory on the fifteenth floor, I remember there are a few high-standard four-person suites that haven't been assigned yet. Let them stay there for now."

"The hospital happens to be on the fifteenth floor, so we can take care of patients nearby."

Sun Yuan said, "Okay, sir, I'll make the arrangements right away."

Li Mu checked the time; it was already past midnight.

"Then I'll leave it to you. I'm going back to rest."

As he spoke, he yawned and walked towards the bedroom.

Chapter 477 After the rain, the sky is clear

Sun Yuan woke up feeling refreshed. After completing her daily morning exercise, she began reporting on Zhao Qing and the others' condition while having breakfast.

"Sir, as you instructed, I have arranged for them to stay in a four-person suite on the fifteenth floor."

Li Mu asked, "Where is the sick little girl?"

Sun Yuan said, "That little girl named Qing Ning's fever subsided around 1 a.m. last night, and the other girls took turns taking care of her throughout the night."

Li Mu nodded: "Go over there in a bit and see if they need anything, then make arrangements accordingly."

Sun Yuan nodded: "Yes, sir!"

After breakfast, I went to the floor-to-ceiling window and used binoculars to observe the water level markers. The average water depth was about 3.5 meters, and in many places it exceeded 4 meters.

Basically, whether it's an apartment building or a villa, all the second floors were flooded, and in some cases, most of the second floors were submerged.

On the road, assault boats are still traveling back and forth, using limited manpower to carry out some urgent rescue and disaster relief work.

In fact, most parts of Yun City have lost power, with only some key areas having their own backup power supply and still operating.

Even the cell phone signal was intermittent. Although Li Mu had the operator install a special signal tower on the top floor of the Muwu Building and was not afraid of power outages, the signal was still not very good.

Sometimes watching a video takes forever to load; only reading text-based news is relatively smooth. It's fair to say we still have a smooth information channel with the outside world, which is better than nothing.

At noon, Li Mu treated the group to a simple meal, and then went back to staying home.

In the evening, I came across a trending news article. The meteorological bureau, based on various data, made a prediction that the nationwide heavy rainfall would end in some areas within two or three days.

Li Mu studied the above analysis and various data, and it did indeed make a lot of sense.

The heavy rain continued for the next two days, and the average water depth on the ground exceeded four and a half meters, with many places exceeding five meters. Not only were the second floors flooded, but in some places, the third floor also began to flood.

In many places, houses could not withstand the erosion, especially in rural areas, resulting in numerous tragedies.

Just when everyone was sinking into pessimism and despair, the heavy rain that had lasted for nearly ten days suddenly stopped.

Li Mu was taking a nap when he heard Sun Yuan's excited voice: "Sir, the rain has stopped... the rain has stopped!"

Li Mu opened his eyes, put on his slippers, and went to the French windows. He pulled back the curtains, and sure enough, the rain had stopped. The sky was a clear blue, and a rainbow arched across the sky, which was exceptionally beautiful.

He took the elevator to the rooftop, looked at the rainbow in the sky, took a deep breath of fresh air, felt refreshed and in a better mood, and had an urge to shout.

He didn't shout, but others did. As the water level rose higher and higher, flooding even the third floor in many places, many people were plunged into despair. Now, the rain has stopped, the sky has cleared, and everyone is overjoyed at having survived the ordeal. Joyful shouts and roars echoed throughout the city.

At first, it was just one or two shouts, but many people were drawn in and joined in, and the shouts grew louder and louder until they became a continuous chorus.

For a time, the entire city erupted in shouts and cheers, which echoed across the water and lingered for a long time.

I stood on the rooftop for a while before returning to the 33rd floor. I took out my phone and checked it, but there was no signal.

I had cell phone signal a few days ago, but yesterday something got flooded and I lost all signal. The rain has stopped now, but I still have no signal. It seems it will take some time for the signal to be restored.

Next, let's wait for the floodwaters to recede slowly.

The water level did not drop as quickly as expected. It took a week after the rain stopped for the floodwater to recede, leaving the ground in a mess.

The roads were filled with rescue and relief teams, and various specialized vehicles were constantly moving about.

Li Mu remained in the Muwu Building, took out a high-powered telescope and looked at the river in the distance. He was stunned for a moment. It was still that river! But it was several times wider.

Not only that, but at night, my phone finally got a signal, and although the internet speed was a bit slow, I still managed to see a lot of shocking news.

For example, a drone video shows a winding river, one or two kilometers wide, pointing downwards.

According to the video description, it is neither the Yangtze River nor the Yellow River, but a new river formed after this continuous heavy rain. Some sections of the riverbed were formed by the erosion of smaller streams, while others were directly formed from farmland.

From the first drop of rain to the point when the city was mostly flooded, there was a period of up to half a month.

In half a month, the highest water level on the ground reached four to five meters. It can be said that except for some high mountains and steep ridges, the rest of the land was a vast expanse of water.

With so much water, it naturally needs to be drained and flow into the sea.

People strive for higher places, while water flows to lower places. Water itself is four or five meters above the ground, and it doesn't care whether you are farmland or a riverbed... it will only flow through low-lying areas.

As the saying goes, there were originally no roads in the world, but as more people walked on them, roads were formed; there were originally no rivers in the world, but as more water flowed and eroded the land, rivers were naturally formed.

That's how this great river was formed.

Not only this one, but the floods that affected the whole country for half a month also created many new rivers, including several that are as wide as the Yangtze and Yellow Rivers.

Another shocking piece of news concerns the issue of rising sea levels. According to measurements by relevant authorities, sea levels have risen by 1.85 meters this year, with most of the rise occurring in the last month.

In light of this, after the flood receded, while the weather was still cool, efforts were made to organize disaster relief and rescue of supplies, while simultaneously carrying out another large-scale relocation of the population to the west.

Not only in coastal areas, but also in western regions, which are far from the sea and receive less moisture, the rainfall in western regions was significantly less during this nationwide downpour. As a result, many people in Yun City moved westward with their families.

That day, the garbage and mud brought by the torrential rain and floods in the city were cleaned up, and order gradually returned to normal. Before the temperature rose, Li Mu made a rare trip to the Muwu Building.

His Knight XV, Mercedes-Benz G63, BMW M5... all these cars were moved upstairs by Li Mu thanks to the high-load-bearing elevator that he installed in the building. Originally used for transporting various supplies, the elevator was also used to move these cars upstairs before the heavy rain.

Not only his car, but also a batch of vehicles of various models and purposes belonging to the company were moved upstairs to prevent them from being flooded.

It's a real shame for so many cars in China. Most of them are now flood-damaged, and some have even been washed away and are now unusable due to prolonged submersion.

I drove my Knight XV out of the Muwu Building. It's been so long since I've been out, so it's nice to drive around.

Besides him, there were Zhao Qing, Jiang Hui, Qing Ning, and a few others in the car who all wanted to come out and see what was going on. Driving along, listening to the girls' chatter, he soon arrived at the main road.

Zhao Qing suddenly pointed at the convoy and said, "So many cars, and so much luggage, it looks like a house move."
