W213 2017 Not starting with dead battery
I have a W213 2017 that have a flat battery and also we had some rain reach to the bumper level.
Since the car had no charge (flat battery), I tried to enter the car manually (with the emergency key) and start the car which didn't work. I also tried to jump start it but it did not start. I tried starting the car with a jump start, the siren started as soon as I connected the cables (as antitheft is activated) and nothing showed on the dashboard and did not help either.
I can see that security alarm indicator is "flashing" inside by the clock near the cup holder area.
Anyone had this experience and can advise on the way forward?

Sounds like you might have some water damage to the electrical system and possibly the powertrain. You need to blow the water out of all the electrical connections and clean them, open up everything electrical that was submerge and let it dry. Find the short circuit and repair it. Once you get spark and the engine is cranking, pray that water did not enter the air intake and damage your engine. Good luck.
