The river ripples, the moonlight shines, and the sparkling silver light.

The night sky is as clear and transparent as a piece of black crystal, rare good weather, the stars and moonlight are bright, the night breeze is slightly cool and fresh, as if coming from the farthest sky, blowing through the tall buildings, blowing the water and the world, and brushing the forehead of young men.

Beneath his forehead was a pair of hazel eyes, and the young man stood under the full moon and looked up.

He slowly opened his arms, closed his eyes and smiled, and whispered, "Listen, the sound of the wind...... The voice of the world. ”

The voices of the youth are scattered in the breeze, and float up with the wind, to the ends of the world in all directions.

It stands to reason that there should not be such a dry and fresh night, since the typhoon "Haiyan" landed in downtown Shanghai, the whole city is raining, those dark high-rise buildings are shrouded in the dark rain curtain, human society has collapsed for decades, the city's drainage system has almost all failed, the low-lying areas in the urban area have begun to waterlog, the water has flooded the streets, the torrential rain for more than half a month has brought huge precipitation, the water level of the Huangpu River is higher than in previous years, and the turbid river waves are rolling.

It is raining all over the world, but here the wind and waves are calm, and young people can even see the stars in the sky when they look up.

Because this is the eye of the storm.

Typhoon is a strong tropical low pressure cyclone, the central wind speed is usually 12 or 13 or above, in the eyes of ordinary people, the typhoon is a huge whirlpool, the closer to the center of the wind speed is higher, but contrary to most people's imagination, the wind speed in the center of the typhoon, that is, in the eye of the storm, is almost zero.

Inside and outside are two diametrically opposed worlds, outside the wind is raging and the rain is pouring, but in the eye of the wind there is a breeze and clear skies, and the edge of the eye of the wind is like a wall, and if you pass through that wall, all disasters will be gone away in an instant.

But for ordinary people, the boundary of this wall is not obvious, because typhoons will move, and the eye of the wind moves with it, and their speed is so fast that meteorologists who are not afraid of death can catch up with them in planes, and the scope of the eye of the wind is very small, and the typhoon is a huge cyclone with a diameter of hundreds of kilometers, like a huge pot lid covering the surface of the earth, but the diameter of the eye of the storm is only twenty or thirty kilometers, like a vent in the center of the pot lid.

At this moment, this small gap is directly above the Huangpu River, and the young man looks up at the starry sky through this gap.

"Listen to them," ...... young man whispered, "your name is Haiyan, isn't it?" What a good name. ”

He spoke towards the deserted river, and the only thing that could hear his voice was the breeze, and not far ahead was a huge man-made creation, a huge arch that spanned both sides of the Huangpu River—it was a bridge, but the bridge had broken in the center, and the moonlight cast its shadow on the water.

The young man was dressed in a spotless white suit, tied with a bow tie, and a square scarf folded in his breast pocket, like a young nobleman who had just left a cold lunch, his hair was meticulously combed, he stood in a small boat, floating in the middle of the river, this small boat was only a few meters long, the side of the boat was extremely low, and the young man's feet were the dark river, and the hull of the boat rose and fell with the turbulent waves, and it seemed that it would capsize at any time.

"I once read an article that said that the petrel is a valiant bird that is not afraid of storms." The young man chuckled lowly, recalling and chanting softly as he recounted Gorky's "Petrel," "Look, it's flying, like an elf—a haughty, black storm elf, it's laughing, it's shouting...... It laughs at the clouds, it cries out for joy! ”

"That's a good point." The young man slowly stretched out his hand, "Are you laughing too?" ”

The young man's eyes were leveled with the wind, as if he were talking to the wind.

He is indeed talking to the wind, "Haiyan" is the name of the typhoon that landed this time, the people in the security zone of the Shanghai Naval Military Academy gave it a name, in the era when human society was not destroyed, various countries have a set of standard naming system for typhoons, and the safety zone inherited it, and every year the typhoon that landed in Shanghai will get a name, this year it is Haiyan, last year it was Caidie, and further on, there are Coral and Li Kui.

The last name was taken by Zhao Gao, and the typhoon was too big that year, so it was named a black whirlwind.

The wind swept the young man's clothes, and the dark river washed the cables on the side of the ship.

Suddenly, there was the sound of something stirring the water on the river.

The young man in white stood in the boat, looking left and right on his toes, he was alarmed by the abnormal sound of the water, like a fisherman on the sea who had spotted a shark.

The sound was like a giant anaconda tumbling and swinging, splashing.

Something did float and swim under the water, it cut through the waves like a sailfish, pulled a sharp line of water on the surface of the river, and quickly approached the boat, as fast as a torpedo, but the thing suddenly stopped a few dozen meters away, and at a distance of dozens of meters, by the bright moonlight, the young man could see a smooth back arched on the water, covered with black scales, and the middle ridge of the back was supported by a jagged barb like a scorpion.

Only a giant python like the anaconda has such a long body, but there are no spines on the back of the anaconda.

The thing rolled over and dived underwater, a long black tail curling up and setting off a huge whirlpool. The river was so turbid that the young man couldn't make out what it was, but he could see that the creature was staggeringly large, and it swam in a calm, thick current, like a whale.

Normal people should have been frightened silly when they saw this scene, but the young man in white smiled.

He began to clap his hands regularly, his heels tapping lightly against the bottom of the boat, and a slight vibration spread along the water.

There was a slight muffled sound at the bottom of the boat, apparently something was swimming underwater, and its body accidentally touched the boat.

"Come here...... Come here, my little fish......"

The young man called softly, and he knelt in the middle of the boat, leaning over the water.

Slowly open a pair of eyes underwater.

A pale face slowly emerged from the bottom of the water, it was a woman with a beautiful face, she was standing upright under the water, naked, her black hair floating in the water.

The woman's head poked out of the water by the side of the boat, her long black and wet hair was attached to her cheeks, she turned her head to look at the young man, and blinked her eyes, her slender eyelashes were hung with crystal droplets, like a girl who had just finished swimming and was about to go ashore, her skin was as white as porcelain, and her face was so beautiful that she could be called enchanting.

This is really a stunner that can make men crazy, like a kraken that seduces sailors in mythology.

If you meet her in a swimming pool, it can even be called an erotic encounter, but here is the Huangpu River under the typhoon, half a month of heavy rainfall has caused the water level of this river to rise by more than 2,000 millimeters, and the peak water level has exceeded 5.8 meters.

Nothing can swim here.

The young man reached out and gently cupped the girl's cheeks, then leaned over and kissed her forehead.

The girl's eyes were blank and motionless, and her body rose and fell with the waves on the water.

"Kissing means liking...... In human society, only lovers kiss each other, do you love me? The young man patted the girl's cheek, "My little fish." ”

The girl remained dazed, not speaking or making a sound.

"Look over there." The young man stretched out his hand and pointed to the sky in the distance, and the girl looked in the direction of his finger, and the sky in the distance was pitch black, and the cold wind was coming towards him, and the rainstorm was pushed flat like a wall, and the eye of the wind began to move again.

"It's going to rain again." The young man smiled, "Little fish, do you know? There used to be a myth in this country that said that the reason why it rained in the sky was because there was a creature called a dragon in this world, which swallowed clouds and spewed fog, carried seawater to the sky, and then sprinkled it down...... Isn't that interesting? ”

The girl didn't listen to him, she stared straight at the rainstorm in the distance, and her face was salivating.

"You still like the rain so much." The young man smiled, and he patted the girl on the head, "Then go ahead." ”

The girl received the command, and immediately jumped for joy, like a rabbit that saw the cage door open, she turned and plunged into the water, and in an instant disappeared without a trace.

The young man was still standing on the boat, he looked at the darkness that was sweeping over the sky, opened his arms and laughed loudly: "Storm! The storm is coming! This is the brave petrel, in the midst of the lightning, flying proudly; This is the cry of the prophet of victory: - Let the storm come more violently! ”

A torrential downpour engulfed everything in an instant.
