Chapter 23 Water and Power Outages
·
Ji Yi De Hai
Three days after the end of the day, the fun officially began.
Zhang Yi knew what would happen that day, so he didn't sleep all night, just waiting to see this good show.
What happened is actually very simple.
That is, the electricity in the entire Yuelu community suddenly went off!
And soon after, the water company was unable to supply water due to the chain reaction of power outages.
There was also a problem with the water supply system, and every household was without water.
All this was within Zhang Yi's expectations.
After all, at the beginning of the end, no one can predict how long this extremely low temperature disaster will last.
Officials are still doing their best to support this snow disaster.
But it wasn't until the time passed, only on the third day, that they discovered that this was not a problem that manpower could solve at all.
In the cold weather, major hydroelectric power plants have been shut down one after another, and thermal power plants cannot continue to generate electricity because of the inability of personnel to work.
After cities across the country run out of stored electricity, power outages are inevitable.
At this time, I am afraid that only a small number of nuclear power plants are still operating.
However, the generated electric energy is naturally all supplied to the official sector for use.
Water and electricity cut off, which plunged the lives of ordinary people into darkness!
Zhang Yi turned on the phone and saw that the messages of many chat groups were all 99+.
"Do you have electricity at home?"
"Our house has no electricity! And the running water has also stopped. What's going on?"
"Our house also has no water or electricity! In such a cold weather, the air conditioner can't be used at all, and there's no way to use the heater. How can we live this day!"
"Why don't the authorities come out and take care of it at this time! If this continues, I'm afraid people will freeze to death."
Zhang Yi silently shook his head.
At this time, the official has no time to take care of everyone.
If you want to survive, you can only rely on yourself.
He also knows that the doomsday will only come in a real sense starting from today.
After losing the electricity and food in modern society, human beings will also fall into mass death.
Thinking of this, Zhang Yi glanced at his home with lingering fear.
When he saw that he was as warm as spring, his house was as safe as a copper hoop and an iron bucket, and there were supplies that could not be seen at a glance in a different space, a steady warmth surged in his heart.
The group of owners in the community was also full of nervous complaints at this time.
"When will this snow fall, the air conditioner can't be used, and the room is more than 30 degrees below zero."
"If this continues, people will really freeze to death!"
"The water has also stopped, why don't we let us drink snow water?"
"Our family doesn't have much to eat, and the door is closed due to heavy snow and we can't go to the supermarket. But what should we do!"
Someone started Aunt Aitlin.
"Aunt Lin, didn't you say you were fine before?"
"That's right, I just listened to your words, so I didn't go out to buy supplies. How to solve it now?"
"When will the higher-ups come to rescue us? Tell me a word!"
Facing the questioning from her neighbors, Aunt Lin was filled with anxiety and panic.
At this time, she was more afraid than her neighbors.
Owners don't know how to save them from above.
But Aunt Lin has already got some news in advance through the neighborhood committee.
"Blizzard is falling all over the world now. It is said that it is a rare snow disaster in hundreds of thousands of years. Maybe, we have ushered in another mass extinction, which is the end of the world!"
"Although the government is trying its best to support it, it is impossible for our country's population of more than one billion to take care of it."
"Several major cities in China have already fallen!"
"If we want to survive in the future, we can only rely on ourselves. We must stock up on more supplies, especially food and energy for heating."
"I have already started going door-to-door asking for supplies, in the name of the neighborhood committee."
"This...isn't it harmful to do this?"
"Harmful? If I don't do that, our family will freeze to death and starve to death for at most three days! I can't care about that anymore!"
"I don't know how many people will die in this snow disaster. I can only take care of myself and my family first."
"Yes, while we still have some influence, hurry up and get more supplies. At this time, survival is the most important thing!"
Aunt Lin stared at the news in the neighborhood committee group, trembling violently.
Although the indoor temperature has reached more than minus 30 degrees, cold sweat is still streaming down her forehead.
She was lying on the bed, covered with three thick layers of quilt, which made her almost out of breath, but she didn't dare to lift it.
Because the room is like an ice cellar at this moment.
At this time, her grandson Xiaohu asked under the blanket, "Grandma, why is it so cold outside! When will Mom and Dad come back?"
Aunt Lin looked at her little grandson, and her heart sank.
She just chatted with her son and daughter-in-law today.
They all work in other places, and now they are trapped in a rented house, and the situation is not much better than theirs.
"I must protect our mother and I, and we must survive!"
Aunt Lin bit her lips tightly, a fierce look flashed in her eyes.
"Xiaohu, it's okay. Mom and Dad will be back in a while."
After comforting Xiaohu, Aunt Lin picked up her mobile phone and began to speak in the owner group.
"Everyone, the disaster is only temporary. It's so cold outside that it's not surprising that water and electricity are cut off."
"Don't worry, there are already staff working on repairs."
"The official has issued a notice. In this critical time, our neighborhood committee will conduct unified management of the owners of the community."
"I hope everyone will cooperate with our work. If anyone does not cooperate, it will cause serious consequences. We will ask the police to arrest and interrogate afterwards!"
Aunt Lin's words were extremely serious.
These words caused strong dissatisfaction among the owners.
They also did not expect that at this time, the neighborhood committee not only did not explain their ineffective work.
Instead, they intimidated the owners.
However, everyone was also a little scared in their hearts, and no one dared to speak out against it.
Zhang Yi took the mobile phone and looked at the news of Aunt Lin in the mobile phone.
He raised his eyebrows and let out a sneer.
Of course he knew that Aunt Lin was lying. In her previous life, she used this despicable method to defraud others of a lot of supplies.
But he didn't intend to expose Aunt Lin's tricks.
Anyway, whether the other neighbors are dead or alive, what does it matter to him?
Zhang Yi turned on the TV and continued to play his game.
No water, no electricity?
It doesn't matter, he stores a large number of spare batteries in his warehouse, as well as engines, fuel oil, and solid alcohol.
As for water, he has stockpiled 500 tons of tap water alone, not to mention tens of thousands of tons of mineral water and beverages in the warehouse.
And when necessary, he can also get water by melting snow.
In short, whether it is fresh water or energy, he has no shortage at all.
