Chapter 23 Water and power outages

Three days after the end, the fun officially began.

Zhang Yi knew what would happen on this day, so he stayed up all night, waiting to see this good show.

What happened was actually very simple.

That is, the electricity in the entire Yuelu community was suddenly cut off!

And soon after, due to the chain reaction of power outages, the water company was unable to provide normal water supply.

There were also problems with the water supply system, and every household was without water.

All this was expected by Zhang Yi.

After all, at the beginning of the end, no one could predict how long this extremely low temperature disaster would last.

Officials are still trying their best to support and want to solve this snow disaster.

But it was not until the third day passed that they discovered that this was not a problem that could be solved by manpower.

Due to the cold weather, major hydroelectric power plants have been shut down one after another, and thermal power plants are also unable to continue generating electricity because their personnel are unable to work.

When 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, all the electricity generated will naturally be supplied to the official departments for use.

Water and power outages plunged ordinary people's lives into darkness!

Zhang Yi turned on his phone and saw that the information in many chat groups was 99+.

"Does your home have electricity?"

"Our house has no electricity! And the running water has stopped. What on earth is going on?"

"Our house also has no water or electricity! It's such a cold weather, the air conditioner doesn't work at all, and there's no way to use the heater. How can we live like this!"

"Why don't the officials 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 officials no longer have time to take care of everyone.

If you want to survive, you can only rely on yourself.

He also knows that the end will truly come from today.

After losing the electricity and food of modern society, human beings will also fall into mass death.

Zhang Yi thought of this and glanced at his home with lingering fear.

When he saw his house, which was as warm as spring, as safe as a copper hoop and an iron barrel, and the endless supplies in a different space, a sense of solid warmth emerged in his heart.

The group of community owners was also full of nervous complaints at this time.

"How long will this snow last? The air conditioner won't work anymore. It's over 30 degrees below zero in the house."

"If this continues, people will really freeze to death!"

"The water has stopped. Is it possible for us to drink snow water?"

"Our family doesn't have much food to eat. It's snowing and we can't go to the supermarket. But what should we do?"

Someone started Mother Ewtlin.

"Aunt Lin, didn't you say everything was fine before?"

"That's right, I just listened to you and didn't go out to buy supplies. How to solve it now?"

"When will the higher ups come to rescue us? Tell me!"

Aunt Lin was anxious and panicked when she faced the neighbors' questioning.

At this time, she was more scared than her neighbors.

The owners still don’t know how the authorities will save them.

But Aunt Lin had already received some information in advance through the neighborhood committee.

"There is a blizzard all over the world right now. It is said to be a snow disaster that only happens once in hundreds of thousands of years. Maybe we are ushering in another mass extinction of organisms, which is the end of the world!"

"Although the officials are trying their best to support us, it is impossible for our country of more than one billion people to take care of it."

"Several major cities in the country have fallen!"

"If we want to survive in the future, we can only rely on ourselves. We must stock up on supplies, especially food and heating energy."

"I have started going door to door asking for supplies, in the name of the neighborhood committee."

"Isn't this... not harmful to others?"

"Harming people? If I don't do that, our family will freeze and starve to death in three days at most! I can't care about that much anymore!"

"I don't know how many people will die in this snowstorm. 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, her whole body trembling violently.

Although the indoor temperature had reached more than 30 degrees below zero, cold sweat still flowed from her forehead.

She was lying on the bed, covered with three thick quilts. She was almost suffocating under the quilt, but she didn't dare to lift it.

Because the room is like an ice cellar at this time.

At this time, her grandson Xiaohu asked in bed: "Grandma, why is it so cold outside! When will daddy and mommy come back?"

Aunt Lin looked at her little grandson, and her heart sank.

She just talked with her son and daughter-in-law today.

They all work out of town and are now trapped in a rental house, and their situation is not much better than theirs.

"I must protect us two, we must survive!"

Aunt Lin bit her lip, a fierce look flashed in her eyes.

"Xiaohu, it's okay. Dad and mom will be back in a while."

After Aunt Lin comforted Xiaohu, she picked up her phone and started talking in the owner group.

"Everyone, the disaster is only temporary. The weather outside is too cold, and it is not surprising to lose water and power."

"Don't worry, there are already staff working on emergency repairs."

"The official has issued a notice. At this extraordinary time, our neighborhood committee will provide unified management for the owners of the community."

"We hope that everyone will cooperate with our work. If anyone fails to cooperate, serious consequences will occur. We will ask the police to arrest and interrogate him afterwards!"

Aunt Lin's words were very serious.

These remarks aroused strong dissatisfaction among the owners.

They also did not expect that at this time, the neighborhood committee not only failed to explain its incompetence in its work.

Instead, they intimidate the owners.

However, everyone was also a little scared, and no one dared to speak out against it.

Zhang Yi held the phone and looked at the messages from Aunt Lin on the phone with great leisure.

He raised an eyebrow and let out a scoff.

Of course he knew that Aunt Lin was lying. In her last life, she had used this despicable method to defraud a lot of materials from others.

But he had no intention of exposing Aunt Lin's tricks.

Anyway, whether other neighbors are dead or alive, what does it have to do with him?

Zhang Yi turned on the TV and continued playing his game.

Water outage, power outage?

It doesn't matter, his warehouse stores a large number of spare batteries, as well as engines, fuel, 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 obtain water by melting snow.

In short, he has no shortage of fresh water or energy.
