Chapter 1480: Zanzan's Aftermath (Part-2)

"Dammit! This fucking rain! Hey! Get the food and money upstairs! Quickly, quickly!" 

"Ahhhh… ruined! My clothes! They are all ruined Wuuuuuuu…" 

"Amir! Stop crying and go help your father get the firewood! There are no crocodiles in the water! Or else you won't get any breakfast!" 

"How will you even start a fire in this water mother? Let me go buy some food instead!" 

"Donkey of a brat! Which shop is open in this weather? Now go to your father before I whip your ass!" 

Such and many more cries pervaded throughout the streets of Zanzan as morning broke, letting the people come to the realization of the disaster striking them.

Many had their homes and shops submerged by the dirty, grimy water, which carried with them all sorts of nasty rubbish and harmful wastes from all over the city, as well as various broken pieces of stone, wood, and metal debris, making moving around even in the homes very difficult.

While the roads, although paved with stone and concrete, were now covered with a slick covering of muddy, filthy slurry, making it both sticky and slippery. Wading over it through waist high water was undoubtedly a dangerous endeavor, with many slipping and some even losing their shoes and sandals in the objectionable muck. 

And all this was not to even say about potholes or hidden manhole covers for the still being built sewage system. 

If someone was unlucky to encounter them… they would be fortunate to get away with it just a sprain. Many times, they even died, falling through the cover and being washed away by the underlying currents.
