After getting off the Grand Seoul Building with an umbrella, Lin Cheng hid at the entrance of the building and prepared to take a taxi.
But even if two or three taxis occasionally passed by in the rain, they had no intention of stopping.
It rained too much this time. The terrain in Seoul is prone to water accumulation, and there are not many taxis willing to carry passengers.
I took out my phone and looked at the taxi app.
Absolutely amazing!
There are still 262 people queuing up ahead. The estimated queuing time is 3 hours. The estimated arrival time at the destination four kilometers away is 1 a.m. tomorrow.
Forget it, forget it! Let’s take the subway.
Lin Cheng opened his umbrella and walked against the rain to Zhongge Station, which was dozens of meters away.
The rain was now much lighter than in the morning, but it was definitely not mild. It was also accompanied by gusty winds. Lin Cheng's trousers were almost soaked after just a few steps.
Fortunately, subway traffic was not affected by the heavy rain. Lin Cheng first took Subway Line 1 to the adjacent Jongno 3-ga Station, and then transferred to Line 3 to Geumho Station.
It took nearly 20 minutes on the road. After leaving Jinhu Station, Lin Cheng walked north along the street under the rain.
There is stagnant water in this section of the street, which has reached the feet.
Fortunately, the terrain of the walking paths on both sides was one step higher than the road. Lin Cheng walked along the walking path for about a hundred meters and arrived at his destination, the Jinhu Tunnel.
The Jinhu Tunnel crosses Yingfeng Neighborhood Park. The terrain is slightly lower than the ground. Through the rain curtain, you can faintly see that the tunnel is filled with vehicles.
Lin Cheng sighed, why did Sister Shiyan have to go through the tunnel in this weather?
Lin Cheng walked towards the tunnel entrance holding an umbrella.
At this time, several people gathered outside the tunnel and were anxiously waiting for something.
Lin Cheng went up and asked, and found out that they were the drivers of the car that broke down near the tunnel entrance. They had contacted the rescue vehicle but it was still unavailable.
It is said that there are police officers on the other side of the tunnel rescuing the trapped people, but the entire Jinhu Tunnel is 300 meters long. With the entire Seoul police force now in short supply, the people inside do not know how long they will be trapped.
In fact, Seoul is not bad as the capital of South Korea. Many people in the southern region have been displaced due to the heavy rain, and some have even lost their lives.
After roughly understanding the situation, Lin Cheng put away his umbrella and entered the tunnel through the ankle-deep water.
Due to the terrain, there is constant water pouring back on both sides of the tunnel. The water is already nearly 30 centimeters deep just ten meters into the tunnel.
The further you go, the deeper the water accumulates, gradually reaching your knees.
Moreover, it is obvious that the depth of water accumulation varies. The left side of the same section of road may have water up to the calf, while the right section of the road may have water almost up to the waist.
Many drivers have been stranded.
Because the water is turbid and the water flow is very fast at the drain outlet, no one knows whether the cover of the drain outlet has been washed away. Many drivers, especially female drivers, who were trapped in the car did not dare to wade into the water easily.
After all, the depth of the water would trap most people, but if you accidentally step on the drain without a cover, it would be no joke.
Lin Cheng didn't have this worry. He was strong and had very keen observation skills. He avoided the drainage outlet and walked quickly inside by leaning against the wall.
I have to say that walking in the water is really tiring. After walking about a hundred meters, Lin Cheng felt his legs were a little sore.
At this time, the water accumulation was probably above the knees. Lin Cheng took a deep breath and continued to move forward.
Inside a closed car door.
Zheng Shiyan lay on the steering wheel, staring helplessly at the murky water outside the car window.
She passed the tunnel smoothly in the morning, and there was not much water in the tunnel. Unexpectedly, when she continued to follow the traffic into the tunnel in the afternoon, the water had already covered the tires.
There is water in this kind of tunnel. Once a car stalls, the cars behind it have no way to retreat. If they stop, they will have no way to restart.
Originally, Zheng Shiyan wanted to imitate some male drivers and leave by wading through the water, but she gave up the idea after seeing a middle-aged man being carried down by the strong water from the drainage outlet.
After all, she was wearing high heels.
I wonder if Lin Cheng has contacted the rescue team?
Because the rescue team's phone line was always busy, Zheng Shiyan could only call Lin Cheng and ask Lin Cheng to help contact the rescue team. She was trapped in the car and didn't even know that the police had begun to rescue her.
I don’t know how long it will take to see Eun Hee.
Zheng Shiyan took the phone and was stunned when she looked at her daughter's cute smiling face on the screen saver.
At this time, the car window was knocked.
Zheng Shiyan turned around and was stunned.
Lin Cheng stood in the water outside the car, wiping the sweat from his forehead with a hearty smile.
"Lin Cheng...why are you here?"
Lin Cheng asked: "Why can't I come?"
"Didn't I ask you to contact the rescue team? What's the use of you coming..."
"Hey! Zheng Shiyan."
Lin Cheng interrupted angrily: "What's the use of calling me here? I'm worried about you!"
"Aren't you calling me and not telling Sister Shuyan and the others because you're afraid that Enxi will worry? If you don't let the little girl and the others worry, I'm the only one who can worry about you now."
Seeing Lin Cheng's slightly angry look, Zheng Shiyan pursed her lips and lowered her eyes.
"Don't call me by my name, it's rude."
Lin Cheng then chuckled: "Sister Shiyan can't even get through to the rescue team, so why can I get through? Today, the whole of Seoul is asking for support from rescue teams from all over the country. If I have time to go to the rescue team, I might as well come over by myself.
, and I don’t know how long it will take for the rescue team to tow all these stalled vehicles out.”
Lin Cheng looked inside as he said that. Fortunately, there was not much water in the car.
"Sister Shiyan, I'll carry you out and leave the car here. I'll pick it up from the rescue team next time when I have a chance."
"Just hold on to me. I can walk on my own."
Lin Cheng curled his lips and glanced at the black high-heeled shoes under Zheng Shiyan's stockings and beautiful legs, "Come on! How can you walk in high heels?"
Because the Korean traffic law does not strictly stipulate that high-heeled shoes cannot be worn while driving, there are not many professional women wearing high-heeled shoes while driving.
After saying that, Lin Cheng handed the umbrella in his hand to Zheng Shiyan, "You put your feet on the seat, and I will open the door first."
The water where Zheng Shiyan's car was turned off was not deep, and it had not yet flooded one-third of the car door. Lin Cheng opened the car door easily when the water pressure was not high.
As the door opened, water immediately poured into the car and under the seats.
Lin Cheng turned around and squatted down slightly, "Hurry up, Sister Shiyan, it's still raining outside, and it won't be good if the water gets deeper and deeper."
After saying that, Lin Cheng felt his neck being hugged, and Zheng Shiyan's soft body pressed against his back.
Lin Cheng put his arms around her legs and stood up straight.
"Wait, skirt."
Zheng Shiyan lowered her head and straightened her skirt carefully.
Lin Cheng couldn't help but muttered: "What kind of skirt are you wearing today?"
Of course, while complaining and feeling the delicate touch of stockings on his palms, Lin Cheng couldn't help but change his mind.
