【Special Episode 9】Long Night, Chaos, Transfer Plan(1/2)
[Only released by Jinjiang Literature City]
The dark clouds were densely covered in the air of the city, and the rain never stopped.
You Xi pulled half of the glass and saw it between the stainless steel blinds. The whole city seemed to fall into a deep dark and wet silence.
This is the third day after a large-scale long night phenomenon. Because power outages in many places in China, the public cannot learn about the causes and solutions of this phenomenon in a timely manner. She called up her mobile phone to the radio channel and several common band channels.
Relevant information has been repeatedly notified.
It is reported that special substances in dust were detected in the clouds. They should be some metal mineral from outer space. It is not clear how the substance originally belonged to outer space came to the planet. But obviously, this special substance is this way.
The metal minerals are absorbed by thick clouds, reflecting the sunlight, leading to a large-scale long night event.
The official continued to comfort the people, saying that the troops have started to prepare and will use technology to disperse the clouds. If it goes well, maybe it will stop along with the heavy rain that has lasted for many days.
The power outage has been many days, and there are not many places in H City that still have power support, so most people are not aware of the news and situation.
Power outages, water outages, gas outages, home supplies bottom out, floods in the city, coupled with such abnormal weather now, these numerous events seem to be superimposed on debuffs, finally bringing the hearts of the people who were originally struggling to support them
It was crushed.
From the height of the eighth floor, people appeared on the street with dim water from time to time using various tools to show up. Some people didn't care about the dirt accumulation of water and dragged a large bathtub and walked directly there.
It's almost in the water in the chest and mouth.
The dark and dark colors around them gave them despair, but also gave them protection. You Xi saw them walking through the streets with difficulty, walking up the steps, and before coming to a nearby small and medium-sized supermarket, he took out a large vise or crowbar.
, break the lock of the roller shutter door or fence door, and open the first layer of protective door.
Then, someone raised a crowbar, or replaced the tools in his hand with a more convenient bat, a stainless steel pipe, and smashed it down hard according to the supermarket glass.
At the beginning, the people who smashed the supermarket were a little slow, especially when they first smashed it down, they seemed a little dazed about what they were doing at the moment.
But soon, they held the tools in their hands again and continued to smash them towards the glass in front of them, from regular hits to headless and brainless smashing. No matter how strong the glass is, it cannot hold on and breaks.
It cracked and the supermarket opened a big hole.
They didn't care about the broken glass falling in the water, dragged the bathtubs and plastic buckets floating on the water into the supermarket, and then began to pick up the packaged supplies: instant noodles, mineral water, vacuum-packed meat, bags
Noodles, chocolate, biscuits, batteries, kitchen knife tools...
Everyone is like a hungry wolf, holding more supplies desperately, whether they are floating in the water or still on the shelves. When the same shelf hits, they will still compete for each other.
Some people have many companions, and the number of people is the upper hand, while others have strong physical strength and physical strength. However, the competition is usually not long because there are other things on the supermarket shelves.
If you can't win here, the loser will no longer waste his time and will switch to other shelves, such as candy snacks, potato chips, canned food, pickles and sauces, drinks... Anyway, as long as it can be eaten and drunk, no matter what it is
, take it and talk about it!
Due to the power outage, most of the fresh milk, yogurt, sausage, cheese, vegetables and fruits placed in the refrigerator in the supermarket have been broken, but because the temperature has dropped, there is no bad smell in the air.
Some people didn't dislike it and took away all the badly black vegetables and fruits that were not soaked in water on the upper floor of the refrigerator.
After all, fresh vegetables and fruits at home have been out of food for a long time, so everyone can cook them, but what should the child do? He always eats rice with sauce. Even if he is willing to eat them because his child is hungry for a long time, they feel distressed.
Their world shouldn't be like this, it's like crazy.
But if the world is really crazy, they have to find a way out for themselves to survive! The food and water they put in a basin and bucket are their hope for survival with their families.
Therefore, everyone moved quickly. After filling the supplies, they immediately returned with the basin and bucket.
The temperature outside is around three to six degrees, and it becomes even colder because it rains. It is full of water, especially the road surface and the water deep in your chest, which makes people unable to pay attention to the situation under your feet.
Some people were scratched by construction waste and cut their wounds. Some people stepped on the air and fell into a pit. They rushed into the water and felt embarrassed. But they didn't care about the pain, the cold, and the embarrassment. They immediately adjusted themselves and stood up again.
Stabilize and return quickly towards home.
They knew that the movement here had attracted other people in the surrounding residential buildings, with so many people nearby and so many eyes behind the building, but there were only a few supermarkets. Once someone reacted, they also ran out and intercepted them.
These supplies can no longer be kept, and their families will go hungry!
Therefore, they were moving forward in the water desperately, at a much faster speed than when they came out.
But it is impossible not to be intercepted. As others run out of the building, the number of people on the street increases and chaos begins.
Intercept, rob, hiss, roar, fight, beat, fresh and blood... Someone took a heavy hand in fear, and the person who intercepted was hit on the forehead and fell down in the water.
But at this time, no one would stop to save people. They only remember the supplies they had saved and the people waiting at home. They accelerated again and quickly left the street.
When the few rescue teams in the city drove past the nearby yachts, the people who were lying face down in the water had long since disappeared.
The norms and bottom lines of peacetime eras have been broken again and again. Even if most people are doing these things, they cannot feel completely in their hearts. Most of them are afraid, self-loathing, and despair, but they have to continue...
Looking at this scene, You Xi felt depressed. She wanted to do something. Suddenly she seemed to be able to do something, but when she passed by, she sadly discovered that she was just insignificant in this disaster.
One member.
Her physical fitness is much better than before, but can she deal with one, two, five... can she deal with ten, twenty or even more at the same time?
She has stocked up a lot of supplies, and the lottery system will give her some new supplies every few days. However, even if these supplies are placed in the entire H City, even if they are only placed in the community where she is, it will be a drop in the bucket.
So, who can she save?
How could she have such unrealistic ideas?
You Xi knew that this group of people was different from those who rushed into the community with backup generators before not long after the power outage. According to the video posted by residents of high-level communities on the Internet, those people were not moral and did not arrive.
The point where you can't survive.
They just took advantage of the chaos and robbed for the sake of robbery.
Now these people are ordinary people, most of them are helpless, but the number of these people is far greater than that of those who are purely evil. When one region and one city and most of the normal people start to be in chaos, it is the region and city.
The beginning of real chaos.
She knew that first of all, there were major shopping malls, large supermarkets, small and medium supermarkets, hotels, pharmacies... When the supplies in these places were snatched up and moved, others would look around.
Those who are hardworking will form a team and start to search for supplies and water from house to house, while those who are hardworking will mainly hide and escape.
But now the city is flooded very deeply, and the rain is falling, covering it for a long night, and the whole city is full of dark and cold crises. It is an extremely difficult action to break through such a city street and follow the news of the shelter area to escape to the safe area.
.
And the three of them could stay in this small apartment and survive as long as the rain did not flood the eighth floor.
But the problem is that she and You Zheng can live a life of being closed-door. What about Tianbao? She is only four years old. Could it be that disasters are endless? She has been trapped in this small house with them.
Is it?
What's more, the premise of being safe here is that in addition to the water level not flooding the eighth floor, this apartment can always block the outside world.
**
You Zheng noticed that You Xi's face was a little calm when she closed the window and returned to the living room.
After coaxing Tianbao to take a nap that day, You Zheng came to the kitchen.
Youxi is stewing chicken soup, but it is the green ecological chicken I bought at the agricultural and sideline product display and sales meeting. Now the gas is gone, and they use induction cookers for cooking. Youxi Space has many different models of induction cookers, which also saves energy and electricity.
The self-cooking pot.
Just add the ingredients to the chicken soup and boil it, then put it in the self-cooking pot together with the pot stewed chicken soup, and then cover it tightly. The self-cooking pot can use its own super insulation function to keep the chicken soup at the same temperature at all times.
Achieve the effect of self-cooking.
This self-cooking pot is almost an enlarged version of the stewed beaker that was once popular. The most important thing is to save energy and electricity. Because of its closed nature, the aroma of chicken soup will not be exposed too much during the self-cooking process.
Make some chicken soup, then make one meat and one vegetable, and you can have a meal at night.
In fact, she has a lot of cooked food in her space, but now in this situation outside, they don’t want to waste it too much. If Tianbao has anything else she wants to eat, she can take it out of the space.
"What's wrong? The situation outside is very bad?" You Zheng only has the eyesight and hearing of ordinary people, so naturally he can't observe the situation outside at any time like You Xi.
"Well, a large-scale chaos has begun. Some people hurt people, some people protect themselves and some people fight back, and some people can't control their strength, causing irreparable casualties..."
"You mean...kill someone?"
"Well, once this bottom line is broken, there will be no turning back. So if the current disaster has not improved, the city will soon be unable to stay because there are too many people..." You Xi did not hide it, stating the status quo and speculating.
All said.
You Zheng understood: "Do you want to leave H City? Go to the official shelter under construction mentioned on the radio?"
You Xi took out the computer from the space, opened it and found the map she had downloaded before. She enlarged the map and circled several places: "Our community is not in a good location, it is in the south of the city, but because of this, it is relatively close to the suburbs. Here-
—The southwest of H City is the entire Qiuwangshan scenic area. There are several different small scenic spots located outside the large scenic area. At present, the shelter points reported by H City are also here, but because of the manpower problem, it is not like other shelter points.
Half-formed.
But I have checked that there are many B&Bs near these scenic spots. The buildings there may not be that solid, but the terrain is high, which is in line with the point of "going to the height". In addition, B&Bs are all small-scale buildings, and it is impossible for the official to build shelter points.
If you choose this kind of place, the shelter they are most likely to choose is probably here, or here-"
You Xi said, and focused on several places, "This is a relatively mature scenic spot. There are many supporting supermarkets, shops, and supplies around it. There are also several large cave landscapes, suitable for building indoor shelter. How many are there?
The homestay is not far from these places, but it is not very close, which is in line with another 'good saying' - sometimes, the big group may not be good.
There may be people at homestays, but it is impossible for everyone to stay because of shortage of supplies and other problems. In addition, the shelter is nearby, so they have a transfer advantage over us, so there is a high chance of finding empty houses here.
Before leaving, we can remove the double-layer anti-aircraft glass, glass and stainless steel blinds in the house and put them directly in the space to take them to the homestay. At that time, we will search for some modification tools on the road, and after the transfer, we can transform them by ourselves...
…”
You Xi planned these things for a day or two. You Zheng heard her tell the story at this moment, and with the clear pictures and texts, the heavy pressure in her heart gradually subsided.
To be continued...
