How did the descendants of the giants(Nephilim) survive the Flood?

We know from the Bible that there were giants, they are the children of fallen angels and human women.
The Bible says :
Genesis 6:1-4
1 When man began to multiply on the face of the land and daughters were born to them,
2 the sons of God saw that the daughters of man were attractive. And they took as their wives any they chose.
4The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of man and they bore children to them. These were the mighty men who were of old, the men of renown.

The book Enoch gives information about it too:
Enoch 6:1-3
1 And it came to pass when the children of men had multiplied that in those days were born unto 2 them beautiful and comely daughters. And the angels, the children of the heaven, saw and lusted after them, and said to one another: 'Come, let us choose us wives from among the children of men 3 and beget us children.'

We also know that the giants were exterminated before the Flood.
But in the Bible it is also written that the giants themselves have begotten children and these were sighted after the Flood.
Numbers 13:33
And there we saw the Nephilim the sons of Anak, who come from the Nephilim, and we seemed to ourselves like grasshoppers, and so we seemed to them.”

How do you explain this to yourselves? How could the descendants of the Nephilim survive the Flood? Wasn't the Flood Worldwide?
And who are the descendants of the Nephlim today?

Numbers 14:36-37 says that the spies had issued a bad report.

The term elihim translates as gods. You may choose to believe it is fallen angels. It depends upon how you interpret certain things. I think what happens here is that this another instance of gods trying to interfere with humans. The gods try to keep humans from gaining moral competence (forbidden fruit), from reaching heaven through unity (tower of babel) and one tries to prevent Jacob from making peace with his brother Esau (wrestles with Jacob when he is on his way to Esau). The thing about the nephilim is that they prefer human women to their own, so the story is an insult to the gods.

There were no survivors, according to scripture. (Genesis 6:13; 1 Peter 3:20)
The cowards who opposed Joshua and Caleb, were simply trying to instill enough fear in the people, to cause a rebellion, so that they would not go up and fight,
When we read the account carefully, we see that, and we don't create problems that are not there.

This is how I see it.
Others speculate that more angels repeated the pattern, but this is mere speculation, and would conflict with scripture, which shows that God punished the angles that sinned - severely restricting their activity.
(2 Peter 2:4) 4 Certainly God did not refrain from punishing the angels who sinned, but threw them into Tartarus, putting them in chains of dense darkness to be reserved for judgment.

You went completely off the rails with "we know".

No they went further than that.

I have it on good authority (god; he told someone
who passed it on to me), that excess water from
Noah's flood was wafted to Neptune where it shines
to this day as a warning beacon against incoming
Rogue Angels.

So logically, they must be coming from still further out.

All of these things can be figured out.
