Chapter 343: Ice Disaster (2)
Then, Wu Zhenzhen followed his grandfather out.
After the power outage, the outside world seemed to be completely devoid of other light, only snow.
The whole street, torii, various buildings, and trees seem to be all in one.
Looking at this situation, Wu Zhenzhen looked a little scared, after all, the usually lively city was completely gone.
Naturally, this expression was captured by Grandpa.
Grandpa smiled and said, "Aren't you scared?" ”
Wu Zhenzhen nodded and said, "Well, the electricity has also stopped, and the car is no longer working." It's horrible. ”
Grandpa smiled and said, "Haha, don't be afraid, it's all temporary." I don't know if you've noticed, but the phone still works. ”
Wu Zhenzhen said: "Well, this year's snow is a little different from usual. It's so hard to step on. ”
Grandpa thought for a while and said, "This year, it seems to be called freezing rain." When it rains, water drops at the same time. In this way, the snow naturally hardens under the filling of water, and eventually forms hard ice. ”
Naturally, in this way, Wu Zhenzhen understood the reason why this snow was so hard.
Then, the grandfather and grandson supported each other and walked to the supermarket.
Amid the roar of the generators, the supermarket kept some lights on, but the air conditioning was clearly not able to sustain itself.
When I walked in, I found that there was already a long queue in the supermarket.
The instant noodle area was almost empty, and the last two packets were held by a college student.
Luckily, there is still some stock in the noodle area, and the portions are very large.
So, under the orders of his grandfather, Wu Zhen took a few buckets of noodles.
Next, there is fresh meat and freeze-resistant vegetables.
After more than half an hour, it was considered a package of food.
Walking to the door, Wu Zhen found that the long queue at the door seemed to have dispersed a lot.
Many people choose to leave because they can't buy instant noodles.
Walking out of the supermarket with the things I had just bought, the cold wind hit again, and it seemed to be more violent than before.
In addition, due to the purchase of a lot of things, the road back seems to be longer.
And the ground seems to be getting brighter and brighter, and the brighter it is, the less friction there is, and the more dangerous it is.
The grandfather and grandson braved the bitter cold wind and tiptoed home.
Grandma knocked on the spare gas can on the side and breathed a sigh of relief: "At present, it seems that the gas should be enough, I hope this electricity will come soon." ”
Then, the three grandparents sat in the living room.
After all, since there is no electricity, it is not easy to do anything.
In the living room, relying on the residual temperature of the electric stove, it still looks very comfortable.
After dinner, I went to bed early at my grandmother's orders.
Because there are only a few candles left in the house, and continuing to sit in the living room can only enjoy the cold baptism, so there is no need to waste it.
However, going to bed before six o'clock, how could Wu Zhen stand it, so, as time went by, he began to toss and turn endlessly.
It seems that because this scene during the day is so bizarre, it is also a very terrible dream that night.
In such a situation, the game and all other things are completely forgotten.
However, the city's water supply system seems to be very powerful, and even when it is freezing and snowy outside, the taps are still providing water normally.
After washing his face with water, Wu Zhenzhen finally broke free from the nightmare.
While eating breakfast, Wu Zhenzhen found that there were no more beaten eggs in his grandparents' noodles, only in his own bowl.
Wu Zhenzhen asked, "Why don't you eat eggs?"
Grandma smiled and said, "Eat eggs and get on fire." We're on fire. ”
Naturally, after eating breakfast, he washed the dishes, opened the refrigerator, and looked at the remaining six eggs inside, Wu Zhenzhen's eyes moistened again.
The freezing rain was still drifting outside, but it was getting smaller.
The whole world is more crystalline, but the more crystalline it is, the more scared Wu Zhen is.
After all, the more crystal clear, the more troublesome Lao Wu's journey to work will be, and the maintenance time of this power plant may also be extended due to this bad weather.
Back in the living room, I learned from my grandparents that the last time there was such a power outage seemed to be decades ago.
It seems that such a severe freeze in the south is indeed impossible under normal circumstances.
Fortunately, there was still a signal on the landline, so Wu Zhen was relieved after learning from the phone that Lao Wu and his real mother were okay.
Still, Grandma was flipping through her phone book and making calls.
It wasn't until more than a dozen calls were made that my grandmother breathed a sigh of relief.
Grandpa smiled and said, "Didn't you travel more than ten miles barefoot through the ice and snow when you were a child?
Grandma thought for a while and said, "Well, the hero doesn't mention the courage of the year." Who would have thought that in this day and age, they would have to go through this?"
Since the temperature in the living room was not much higher, I simply lay down on the bed in the afternoon, after all, it was still relatively warm in the bed.
Somewhere outside the window there was a cracking sound.
When I got out of bed, I saw that the window of a house not far away from me was broken and fell straight down.
Overall, the city is surprisingly quiet, with the sound of engines resting en masse, and the occasional crisp bell of a bicycle can be heard.
Counting the time, it seems that the power outage has been going on for more than a day.
Looking back, the electric signal light on the electric fan switch in his room seemed to be measuring again.
So, Wu Zhen tried to turn on the lights.
Wu Zhenzhen immediately put on his clothes and ran to his grandparents' room excitedly and said, "Okay, it's coming, it's calling." ”
Grandpa smiled and said, "Okay, don't be so excited, quickly tune the TV to the local M City News Channel." ”
Then, the three of them sat in front of the TV and gathered around the electric grill to listen to the TV report on the disaster.
It turned out that the units of the power plant had been maintained, and the state leaders had come to the affected areas to observe them.
Next, all you have to do is wait for this freezing rain to end.
The news camera shows the rising power plant, and as the power plant is restored, the city's power system is restored.
However, it seems that it will take some time for traffic to recover, after all, the freezing rain is still falling.
At this time, Wu Zhenzhen suddenly remembered his classmates.
Yes, it's freezing this day, how are you doing?
So, Wu Zhenzhen immediately turned on the computer.
There seems to be no problem with the network, and the starry sky is successfully logged in at once.
Next, Wu Zhenzhen immediately logged in to QQ.
After boarding QQ, Wu Zhenzhen found that the class group was already very lively.
Looking at the message record, Wu Zhen understood, everyone was fine.
At this time, Wu Zhenzhen remembered the game, after all, the pet was about to be born before.
However, after opening "Dragon Babu", Wu Zhenzhen could no longer find the two tiger babies.
It turned out that the time had exceeded the maximum limit of waiting, so the two baby tigers and the second-generation tiger would never see each other again.
Looking at such news, Wu Zhen reluctantly closed the game.
Then, the electricity went out again.
So Wu Zhenzhen went to the living room again and asked what the situation was.
Grandpa smiled and said, "I want to ensure production." You know, if the steel plant stops kiln, the loss is quite terrible. ”
Due to the news that the power plant has been reopened, Wu Zhen understands that there is no need to be too afraid of power outages.
Back in his room, Wu Zhen took out his winter vacation homework and started some operations.
Naturally, there is still an evasive attitude towards English.
After all, I've done too many thankless things for English before.
