Typhoon, torrential rain, an upstream dam releasing floodwaters, seawater surging inland: four disasters stacked together. In just twenty minutes, the bustling city of Binhai was transformed into a vast sea. The city's electricity, water, and gas supplies were cut off, and the network went down.
Emergency doctor Mi Su had just moved the last patient upstairs when she turned around and saw the entire outpatient building disappear beneath the murky floodwaters.
No one knew this flood would not simply rise for a few days and then recede. A super El Nino was affecting the entire globe: glaciers melted, snowy mountains collapsed, sea levels rose, and relentless torrential rain fell everywhere, unleashing devastating floods. Many people died in their sleep, and humanity was plunged into an extraordinarily harsh post-apocalyptic world of floods.
Mi Su was accidentally pushed into the water by her colleague Chen Min. Hao Haiyang, who was about to set off in a kayak, rescued her, and the two of them ended up trapped together in the hospital's multistory parking garage.
Nearly two thousand patients and medical staff were trapped in the inpatient building, and the water level kept rising.
Medicine was running out, food was scarce, and despair spread like a virus.
No one knew that the necklace Mi Su's grandfather had left her concealed a magical space where she could exchange "rescue points" for supplies and expansions.
