The anticipated engagement party turns into a broken engagement announcement and a notice of expulsion from the house. In one day, Anna lost everything. She accidentally activated a space and took the business’ supplies for revenge. But who would have thought that natural disasters will come? The world is changing and resources become scarce. So, the style of painting changed. When other people are scrambling to find something to eat, Anna was still cooking at home. When other people are fighting for food, Anna was lying on her bed while snacking her favorite chips. When other people are working hard to get some water, Anna was lying on her bathtub comfortably. The relatives came to the door for help. Anna only looked at them coldly and spat out, "Scram!" Her ex fiancé also came, asking for reconciliation and love. Her new man kicked him out of the door and slammed it shut. He then looked at Anna with a pitiful look. "Wife, do you not want me anymore? I'm easy to raise." Anna looked at the puppy like man and pulled him closer with a smile on her face. . . . It was only later she realized that the puppy is actually a big bad wolf... But the goods couldn’t be returned! … Notes: the cover is an AI image. I only edited it a bit.
Anna walked out of the space and walked to the kitchen. She has been curious whether it was possible for her to put water inside the space without any container.
So… It's time to try~.
Anyway, she had nothing better to do.
Lucy and Mark were very active upstairs, so Anna had no intention to interrupt these two from their business.
*cough*
She was alone and didn't want to keep bothering Dylan after she kept coming for lunch and dinner.
Turning on the tap water, Anna watched as she put the water into the space and felt that she could control it.
The water gathered together and form a ball far away from the other supplies. They were floating in the air as if there was a thin layer of something that hold them there. It looked very magical.
And no matter how much water was poured inside, they could be controlled to stay far away from the supplies and stayed like this ball of water.
Anna's expression brightened.
For the next several hours, Anna kept on pouring water into the space. Looking at the water coming from the tap, Anna was silently thinking about the water bills for this month and felt heartache.
The tap water can be drunk, so it would be good for her to bring as many water as possible.
This way, she didn't need to worry about the lack of food and water in the future.
Anna looked at the rain outside and pursed her lips. The rain hadn't stopped at all even though it has been three days. By now, the people in the apartment has been discussing this matter again and again.
They were worried that the water will come to the apartment and cause flood.
This apartment might have been built in high ground, but it would not change the fact that if the rain continued, it would still cause flood.
'How about if I keep water for bath too?'
Anna went to the bathroom and started to fill the tube and then put the water into the space, in a separate location from the water for drinking. She took two different board and write 'drinking water' and 'bath water' respectively.
This way, she could differentiate them.
When she was busy pouring water into her space, her phone vibrated.
…
Lucy: Anna, Anna, look at the apartment's chat group. They said that the other building has started to flood on the first floor.
…
Anna was stunned.
She has just started to worry about flood and there's already a piece of news coming?
There was a special chat group in the apartment for the people who stayed here. The manager was someone hired by Dylan's Family. So even though he was technically the 'young master,' he was not the one who managed this apartment.
The manager lived on the suite on the 18th floor, the highest in this building.
Inside the chat group, they would only use their room number.
Anna's room number is 1601, 16th floor number one. Dylan's room number was 1602, 16th floor number two.
Lucy's room number was 1701, 17th floor number one. Mark's room number was 1702, 17th floor number two.
…
Garden Apartment Chat Group
101: Please help! The water outside is already very high and it's entering the corridor. We have to use the sand bag to prevent the water from entering our homes!
102: It's the same for me! Is there anyone over here who can help to stop the water.
902: There's no way that the water could stop. It's still raining heavily outside. You should just pray that the water will not flood the apartment more.
201: Hey, how long the water will continue?
301: I'm more worried about the food. It has been three days and the news only said that there will be rain for three days. But it didn't seem that the rain will stop at all.
502: Can you help me to find out if there's any excess food or anything like that? Me and my friends didn't bring much food.
402: Upstairs, who do you hope having so much food? We only have enough for our own consumption.
601: No one knew how long this rain will last.
902: Right, only stupid people will share food at this juncture.
…
The chat continued and Anna's eyes landed on the words from 502. Most of the people who stayed here were staying with their family members.
But he said friends.
Is it Betty and Jake?
If she was not wrong, Betty said that she had parties with her friends…
