Chapter 15 Water and electricity cuts

87_87180The footsteps of zombies were heard outside again, the stench of decay came into the back kitchen, and the ho-ho wheezing sound from the zombies' throats was ticking with thick slime, which gave people goosebumps for no reason.

Lin An gritted his teeth and stood up, turned over and climbed out of the exhaust vent, and when he landed, his arm really didn't need strength, he fell horizontally and fell directly to the ground.

After hearing a muffled sound, Lin An fell to the ground gloriously, and his whole body really slapped on the hard ground of the soil, and the bones all over his body screamed and ached.

Damn it!

He cursed, braced himself up, and sat up against the wall of the alley.

In the back kitchen of the small restaurant across the wall, the zombie's stiff pace and crowded marching sound came out clearly through the fan mouth, and the muscles that were exhausted by mental power were sore, and after falling down, his shoulders and thighs hurt extraordinarily, and he didn't need to look to know that it should be swollen.

Mental power is very easy to use when it is used, but the key is that it is really bad when it is used up.

The main thing is that it is also sold in bundles, and when it is added, it can be accompanied by an individual lƬ to increase the five senses enhancement gift package, which is a special surprise. It's over after exhaustion.,Not only is the gift package temporarily withdrawn.,It's also a sore limbs and brain pain.,How to hate it.怂

Lin An was holding an arm that was sore and painful at the moment, and he didn't want to raise it at all, and he vaguely regretted in his heart that he shouldn't overestimate his mental strength.

Fortunately, the harvest is still rich, and this fall is not in vain.

Gathering the zombie heads on the ground, ignoring the rotting flesh and pus, the young man's face was as usual, and he lifted the shell one by one to take the crystal nucleus, and after adapting to the short-term numbness of the arm, the action became more and more pure.

Later, how he dragged his sore body through the market and community where the zombies moved, Lin An couldn't remember it at all.

His last memory was fixed on the moment when he finally returned to his nest safely and threw himself into the little soft bed he had been thinking about.

Relaxing and sleeping in the quilt all day, there is nothing more comfortable in the last days.

By the time he woke up, it was already the afternoon of the next day. After sleeping with stiff hands and feet, Lin An'an's body is no longer sore, and his brain is clear.

As a second-level ability, the exhausted mental power will be restored within eight hours, and the first-level ability is a little worse, they need a full twenty-four hours.

Last night was a good harvest, Lin Anmei hummed a little song and felt a long sigh of relief after entering the bathroom, lifted his pants, reached out and pressed the button of the flush toilet, there were only two gurgling and difficult pumping sounds from inside, and a small amount of rust-colored dirty water poured out in the toilet, which made people look disgusting, it was better not to flush.

Lin An frowned, temporarily flushed the toilet with the water in the red bucket stored early next to the washing machine, and reached out to pull the light rope on the wall of the bathroom, but the light was not on.

His expression was a little ugly.

He doesn't remember the specific day of the water and electricity cut off after the end of his life in his previous life, but he clearly remembers that after the water and electricity were cut off, he never came again.

Although the zombies at the beginning looked terrifying, the first-level zombies were not powerful, and many people could survive hiding at home. At this time, although people were afraid, relying on the food stored at home, they were looking forward to rescue in their hearts, and they could barely survive their lives without collapsing.

When the water and electricity were suddenly cut off, the sense of crisis of all the survivors suddenly increased.

A person can live fourteen days without food and only three days without water.

Even if some people are flexible and store some pure water in advance, they can only barely survive for a while due to the limited containers.

The lack of help from the government and the military, the dwindling food and water, and the double existential crisis have cast a heavy shadow over the heads of the survivors of the entire city.

The crisis of survival has made the survivors unable to hide at home, even if they are in danger of being eaten by zombies, they have to grit their teeth and come out to find food and drink.

Supplies are becoming more and more scarce, and where there are people, there is strife.

Competing for supplies, various small groups gradually emerged, until the emergence of the supernatural, and the whole human society became more and more chaotic.

When people tear off the cloak of civilization, rely on primitive power to compete for a qiē survival resources, and the beastly nature is unscrupulously swayed, then the real end times will come.

And the water and electricity cut-off is the last curtain before the end of the world really comes

The water and electricity in Jinshi was cut off at about 9 a.m. on this day, and the power was cut off first and then the water was cut off.

In fact, on the night of the end of the world, the hydropower company had stopped operating normally, and the staff on duty that night either mutated into zombies or died tragically under the sharp teeth of zombies.

Not to mention the upper echelons of the hydropower company, who disappeared within two days of the chaos begins, and it is not known whether they fled for their lives in a hurry, or whether they were not spared.

In the past two days, the reason why Jinshi has been able to supply water and electricity normally depends on the automatic emergency system in the factory.

In normal times, the city sometimes loses water and electricity due to troubleshooting, and this system will automatically start to store emergency water and electricity to ensure the normal life of citizens.

Such emergency equipment is available in every city according to Chinese regulations. However, after all, the storage capacity is limited, and it can only be used as an emergency, and it is impossible to maintain it for too long.

From the end of the world to the present, the emergency hydropower stored by the Jinshi Hydropower Plant has been officially depleted.

From this morning, most of the survivors in Jinshi and even the entire country of China began to live with zombies everywhere, materials and no water and electricity.

Compared with Lin An, who spent the whole morning asleep, the residents of the Liyutang community, who have been living in fear and anxiety for the past two days, are even more frightened by the sudden water and power outage.

On the sixth floor, three doors and twelve rooms, Aunt Qian, an old resident of the community, checked her big bucket again, which was full of tap water.

In old communities like theirs, the facilities are aging, and water and power outages are common, and experienced old residents will always have a bucket or water tank at home, and often connect some water to prepare.

The sudden water outage this morning scared Aunt Qian, if it usually stopped, it would be okay, now there are that kind of man-eating monsters everywhere outside, and they can't move around the house, and they can't go out to buy some bottled water.

Where can people go without water, and they won't die of thirst in a few days?!

The old lady is old, she is old, and she has some eyes, and she wonders if the Li family couple downstairs will probably not have the habit of storing water in advance.

Li Ruiyan's woman is very hypocritical, she can't even go to the vegetable market, she goes to the supermarket every day, maybe people think that a bucket in the toilet is ugly and affects the appearance.

"Tsk, tell you little girl to look at people with her nostrils every day, and now there is nothing at home, and she is not asking to come to our house."

Last night, Aunt Qian sold Li Wei a small bag of potatoes and sweet potatoes that she had approved at the vegetable market a few days ago.

But today she made up her mind to cover her bucket of water, even if she gave her 51,000, she couldn't sell it, who knows when the water will come, and when the city will come to save people, this is a bucket of life-saving water.

Thinking of this, Aunt Qian even regretted the food she sold yesterday, if the government didn't come for a long time, their family's food stock didn't know how long it would last.

"Mom, isn't the rice good yet?" Aunt Qian's only son, Qian Jun, frowned, and shook into the kitchen a little impatiently, in the past two days, his mother only cooked two meals a day, and the amount was still small, which made his stomach growl.

Aunt Qian hurriedly brought out the steamed food in the pot, and sighed while setting the dishes and chopsticks.

"Alas, I don't know when the government will come, but our family's food won't last long." She gave her son a bowl of rice, picked up a piece of hot white potato, handed it over, and hurriedly turned back to the noodles: "You hurry up and eat, Mom will steam more steamed buns and flower rolls for preparation, fortunately, the gas is not cut off, otherwise how can people live." ā€

"The electricity is gone, the refrigerator can't be used, and it's not bad to steam so much."

"It's autumn, not so fast, it can last for five or six days. Leave it alone, eat it quickly. ā€

Qian Jun didn't squeak anymore, lowered his head and slammed the rice.

In fact, when Li Wei downstairs came to sell food yesterday, he mentioned to him that he would go to a nearby supermarket to find supplies, but he didn't respond at that time, and he didn't want to respond in his heart.

It's all man-eating monsters outside, and it's only fools who go out to die.

His mother has always loved to save some cheap rice and white noodles at home, he calculated yesterday, his own rice noodles can be eaten for more than ten days, and the government has already come to save them, so why rush to the supermarket?

Besides, the supermarket is opened by others, and now I run to "take" something, and after the incident passes, the owner of the supermarket will be held accountable, so it can't be regarded as theft?

Compared with the neighbors upstairs, the situation of the Li family with three doors and six rooms is not so good.

As Aunt Qian guessed, Li Ruiyan really does not have the habit of storing water at home.

Their family all drank bottled water, and after drinking, they called the water delivery company to send someone to deliver another bucket, and they didn't worry about stopping the water at all.

At noon, Li Ruiyan, who was thinking about cooking, was dumbfounded as soon as she turned on the faucet, and there was not a drop of water!

A family of three reluctantly steamed rice and cooked vegetables with water in the water dispenser, and after eating, the woman coaxed her daughter to go out to play, and failed to eat delicious food, and took a nap with her tempered daughter who had been playing at home all morning.

Seeing her daughter falling asleep with a frown, she walked out of the bedroom door with a bad face.

In the living room, Li Wei lit a cigarette indoors, and was sitting on the sofa silently, looking very worried.

"Ah Wei" Li Ruiyan sat down next to him, and stopped talking.

"Niu Niu slept?"

The man put his arm around his wife's shoulder and patted him, comforting: "Sit down first, don't worry too much, our water dispenser is newly replaced water, it should last a few days, I'll go upstairs tonight and ask, spend more money to buy some with them." ā€

"That's the only way to do it, to eat and drink, we'd rather pay more, and buy a little more to come back for peace of mind. Niu Niu hasn't eaten well in the past two days. Li Ruiyan sighed, she really couldn't think of any good way, so she could only nod her head and respond.

In her heart, she actually wanted her husband to go out to find supplies like Lin An downstairs, but after being married for a long time, she knew the man next to her best, he was timid and afraid, he didn't have much responsibility, and it was almost impossible for him to risk going out unless he had to.

Besides, at this time, he and Niuniu still have to rely on him, if something happens to Li Wei, their family will be finished.

"You say, will the government come to our rescue?" Snuggled in her husband's arms, the woman who had been living in fear and anxiety for three days, whispered the words that had been hovering in her heart.

Li Wei took a puff of cigarette, frowned, and said in a muffled voice: "Don't think nonsense, it won't be long before someone comes to save us." We paid taxes to raise so many troops, and if we don't make efforts at this time, I guess those monsters may be infected with some virus, or it is infected by the test specimen that ran out of the real yĆ n room without closing it, and it won't be long before someone comes to get rid of them. ā€

"I hope so," Li Ruiyan said with a little crying voice in her throat: "When the matter is over, let's go home if we say anything, I'd rather have less compensation than live in this shabby community!" If it were in our original home, where would those monsters be able to climb a dozen floors? The thought that something might come up outside the door at any time made me feel terrified all night and couldn't sleep well. ā€

"It's okay, it's going to be over soon, and I'm here, don't be afraid."

"Fortunately, you are still with our mother and son, but I don't know what happened to my mother and them, and there has been no news for so many days."

"Well, wait, when the situation is better, I want to take a look."

That night, Li Wei took advantage of the dead of night to knock on the door of Aunt Qian's house upstairs again, but this time, even if he deliberately carried a lot of money before going out and accompanied the smiling face throughout the whole process, he failed to get a drop of water from the old lady.

Not only did there be no water, but the other party unceremoniously and bluntly told him that this time he wouldn't even sell food to his family, so he didn't have to knock on the door again.

"No, no, now everyone's food is expensive, and our family is not enough to eat, the last time I sold it to you, it was my old lady who looked at the soft-heartedness of the neighbors, once it was enough, and I can always come."

After returning from the twelfth room, Li Wei sat in the living room all night, smoked the last half pack of cigarettes he had left, and told his wife the next day with bloodshot eyes that he was going out to find food.

The corpse of the monster in the hallway, which was still decomposing, gave confidence to the man who was usually a little bit of a wretch, and he thought that those monsters were not as powerful as he thought.

Didn't he kill one? There is also a kid surnamed Lin downstairs, who usually doesn't look brilliant, no

"Ah Wei, you can't go, it's so dangerous outside!"

Even if it is useless to dislike her husband on weekdays, at this time, the woman still grabbed the other party's arm with red eyes and disagreed.

Their family's food province can last for a few days, and maybe it will last until the rescuers come.

If Li Wei ventured out and had an accident, there would be no man in the family, leaving their mother and daughter in such a monster everywhere, she and Niuniu would really have no way to live!

Li Wei shook his wife's hand, and had already made up his mind in his heart, "Needless to say, how many days can our family's situation last?" Niuniu can't help but be hungry when she is young, let's be hungry for a few more days, and we won't even have the strength to run. This time, the food and water are in hand, and our family of three can have some confidence, whether they are hiding at home and waiting for rescue, or running out of Jinshi. ā€

"But I'm really afraid of you," Li Ruiyan's voice choked.

"It's okay, Ah Yan, you've seen it these days, the kid in the third room downstairs hasn't seen anything happen when he goes out every day, I can't be much worse than him, I can't wait to go out and call a few more people, there are several families upstairs that have nothing to do, I'll go find them to go out together!"

When Li Ruiyan saw him say this, she thought about it and let it go.

Not to mention that her Niuniu is still so young that she has to go hungry every meal, even she herself is so hungry every night because she doesn't dare to eat too much these days, if it goes on like this, there will be no way out for their family!

Li Wei is right, if you call a few more people to accompany you, it may not be too dangerous, if you can call the two people downstairs, it will be more guaranteed.

Not only is that Lin An's skills good, but there is also another man who moved in a few days ago, based on a woman's intuition, she always feels that that man must not be simple, and he doesn't look like an ordinary person when he looks at his eyes.

"Then I'll go out and call someone." After Li Wei ate the breakfast that his wife specially prepared for himself, which was quite hearty, he felt a little better, wiped his mouth and put on his coat and prepared to go out.

Li Ruiyan hurriedly got up from the sofa and told in the entrance: "Remember to call the two people downstairs, don't go to a dangerous place." ā€

"Don't worry, I'll go."

"Be careful, even if you can't find food, you have to come back safely."

"Okay, I'm going to have an accident, you go into the house quickly, and when Niuniu wakes up and makes trouble again, tell my good daughter's father to find her something to eat."

"You have to be careful all the way."
