The wait is finally here, the typhoon.

August is the fifth month of the zombie outbreak.

The wind howled outside the window, and the smaller trees around were uprooted and rolled into the sky. Through the glass window, we could also see some black branches in the sky, probably the burned branches on the mountain.

Looking inside the safe house, it was impossible to see the direction of the wind, and some tiny branches and leaves fell on the glass.

The wind passed through the gaps in the windows and doors, making a shrill "scream". We had reinforced the house before, but we didn't know if it could withstand this storm.

I sat on the sofa, looking at the world outside the window and worrying.

Dad patted my shoulder and said, "Don't worry, Xiaoqi. Your dad has lived for so many years, and typhoons basically go around here, so he will be fine."

I often hear the old people here say this, our place is a blessed land, there have been no natural disasters for hundreds of years, except for this year's zombie virus.

But this zombie virus is man-made and is not included.

However, the wind became stronger and stronger in the next few days, accompanied by heavy rain.

One moment it feels like the house is about to be blown away, and the next moment it feels like it is about to be flooded.

"This year's typhoon is really big... Why is my signal cut off again?" Lin Kai said.

The signal has not been working very well these days, and Lin Kai has been in contact with Fang Zhijiu intermittently.

Through Fang Zhijiu, we finally got the news from my mother. Jiayang’s mother and her mother went to the kitchen of the shelter to help cook. Now they can cook a big pot of rice and prepare meals for hundreds of people.

Two days ago, good news came from Fang Zhijiu that a new security fortress was being planned...

After receiving the news, Jiayang and I discussed this issue. If the safety fortress over there needs manpower, we will sign up to participate. Then we can build our new small home in the safety fortress and put our mother, Jiayang's mother.

He Lele took it over.

If everything goes well and the zombie crisis passes, we will still do our original business, open a small bakery, continue to knead bread and buy bread...

"Oh my God, look!"

My thoughts were pulled back by Lin Kai's voice, and a person appeared in the sky.

That's one of the five!

Oh my god, why is he in heaven!

We all gathered under the glass and looked at the scene in the sky.

"How strong the wind is outside!" Tian Li sighed.

There was a problem with the solar panel the day before yesterday and it was blown away by the wind. My father wanted to reinforce it, but in the end he had to pick it back because the wind was too strong.

At that time, my father told us not to go out again, otherwise we would be blown away by the wind. I just thought he was joking.

"Dad, you were right. You said two days ago that the wind could blow people away." I stared at Dad in disbelief.

"I... was just joking that day." Dad could only smile awkwardly.

God seems to be letting down the water accumulated in the previous month all at once. Now the sky is slowly getting darker, and we can't even see the scene clearly in the sky.

All you could hear was the patter of rain.

There was a power outage at home, so we could only chat downstairs as a pastime.

There are some benefits to such heavy rain. We collected a lot of water and put it in the water storage bucket, but the ground was a little wet at the moment. Then in the dim night, I seemed to see a puddle of water shining.

I tried to ask: "Which of you is closer to the water storage barrel now? Is it leaking?"

Lin Kai stood up and went to check, "No!"

Dad also looked down and touched a chair he was sitting on, "Oh, there's water here."

Tian Li's hearing seemed to have become particularly sensitive since that incident, "Did you hear the sound of running water again?"

The five of us stood up and searched for it, and finally found the source. We don’t know when a large amount of water began to flow into the crack of the back door.

The water is yellow and contains a lot of soil. I wonder if it was left from the mountain.

We've been forgetting to take this into account, and now there's very little vegetation on the mountain, and the land here isn't that compact.

I said worriedly: "Will there be a mudslide?"

Everyone's nerves were tense. This was really possible. We were at the foot of the mountain. If water formed on the mountain, we would be the first to be washed away.

We work silently, doing what we can do in front of us.

"It's broken, the cellar!" Dad slapped his thigh, and we remembered the cellar under the ground. We lifted the blanket covering it, and then opened the lid, and a lot of water had already entered the cellar.

But because a waterproof layer was built before, there was no water seeping out from the surrounding area. It was mainly the water flowing down from above.

We found a flashlight and shined it towards the ceiling to make the whole room brighter so that we could find the right way.

Jia Yang and Lin Kai took a few rags to the bottom and kept sucking the water that flowed down. Dad twisted the water into a bucket, then took it to the bakery and poured it out through the crack in the door because of the terrain there.

It is shorter and has steps, so water will flow down the steps and outside.

Tian Li and I took rags to plug the cracks in the back door and window to prevent more water from flowing into the home.

After the water under the cellar was cleaned up, we moved enough food for a week. We closed the cellar lid again, spread a layer of plastic film around the cellar, and moved some heavy objects on top to prevent water from flowing.

Then leak to the bottom.

At this point, our preparations are not over yet.

Without the weather forecast or any news from the outside world, we didn't know how big the typhoon was this time. We only heard from dad that this place was full of water a long time ago.

But it only flooded the lower-lying villages in front, and our place has never been flooded.

Today's situation is different from the past. Once we lose these materials, we will be doomed in the future. Things such as batteries, solar panels, and boilers have become very precious in this doomsday world.

We moved a large number of electrical appliances to the second floor, but there are mainly three rooms on the second floor, and there are too few places to put things.

The room between Jia Yang and I was the emptiest, so Dad, Lin Kai and Tian Li all packed up their own mattresses and made the floor in our room. After that, we moved everything that could be moved upstairs.

Jiayang thought for a while, but was still worried about the things in the cellar, so we worked for several hours and finally moved the things in the cellar to the second floor.

Now, the two rooms on the second floor are packed to the brim.

We moved the things in Dad and Lin Kai's room and stood there so that there would be more space for the shelves. We moved everything to the shelves and tried to tidy them up as much as possible.

After five months of consumption, our supplies have been reduced a lot, and we have also helped some villagers in Shangtian Village during this period.
