Chapter 48: The Situation Deteriorates

The people in the chess and card room were playing mahjong and pushing pai gow, and the automatic mahjong machine suddenly did not work. The moment they turned on the light switch, everyone was dumbfounded.

The lights don't come on!

The people gathered in the chess and card room immediately blew up the pot.

Some immediately picked up the phone.

Some rushed out of the room and went home to confirm.

Doctor Lao Luo came out of the infirmary specially assigned to him and scolded loudly: That grandson pulled the electric switch, didn't you see that I was taking an electrocardiogram for Liu Erye.

Unfortunately, no one paid attention to him in the chaotic situation.

At this time, Su San was taking everyone to grind peanut oil for each household in the makeshift oil mill.

After the power outage, he immediately ran back to the chess and card room. There are a lot of people here, so you can know what is going on right away.

"Don't make a noise, listen to me. Pick up your phone and call someone you know in the next village, someone you know in the city, and someone you know in the city. Liu Yang, you lead the team to check the line to see if the transformer is short-circuited due to overload. Call Tsuneishi over. ”

Tsuneishi is preparing forage for the cattle, sheep and pigs with a haymaker in the open space next to the cemetery. The sudden power outage left him confused. He is an employee of Guodian and has a clear understanding of the importance of electricity. Once the power goes out, it means a total loss of control. He didn't dare to delay, and trotted all the way to the chess and card room, wanting to see if it was the problem above or the village.

In 2015, the entire county underwent a major electrical renovation.

The tradition of going to the electrician to pay in the countryside has been changed to paying with an electric card. It saves manpower and eliminates the corruption of bad electricians, but it also brings very big trouble.

The main problem is the irrigation system. There is only one card on each well, and when the weather is dry, each family wants to water the ground first. But there is only one card, and it can only be done in line.

This led to great conflicts among the villagers. The most prominent problem is that the last one paid the fee but did not use up the electricity. The next family encounters someone who has a conflict with him, so they simply ignore it. No compensation, no recognition.

What's more, if you don't pay a dime, the electric card will have a negative number, and you will also water the ground.

The above overestimated the quality of the rural people, and in the end they could only agree that the old lines of agricultural electricity could be used. That is, there is no need to insert a card, and the person in charge of the electricity management office will charge for it.

This is actually a shame in normal times, and it is also a huge retrogression in the building of spiritual civilization. But it helped everyone at the end of the day.

More than a month has passed, and the residents' electricity has already exhausted the money in the electricity card, and the computer-controlled power system has automatically cut off the power. Fortunately, there are still old lines for agricultural electricity, and the villagers lead the lines from the old lines and reuse the transformers.

This line does not need to be paid, and theoretically, as long as the substation is left alone, it can be used forever. It doesn't matter how much you owe.

That's why you can still enjoy running water, air conditioning, fans and induction cookers on hot summer days.

It's a pity that the power is out now.

Su San just wanted to go home and ask his wife Qiao Cui to call his younger brother in the city to ask about the situation. Chang Shilei put his head into his arms.

"Third brother, what's going on. Is it that our electricity load is too high and the transformer is burned out? ”

It took the joint insurers a month to get several sets of equipment. They are a dough sheeter (noodles), a straw machine, an oil press, and a flour grinder. The machines are now running at full capacity. Electricity consumption is definitely high.

In addition, there is no money for electricity, and the joint insurance households are not distressed at all when they turn on the air conditioner. 24 hours a day, the temperature is adjusted to the lowest 16 degrees, and when it is cold, it is not to turn up the temperature, but to choose to open the doors and windows.

The transformer is loaded, and the transformer used by the joint insurance households is only 100 load, Chang Shilei does not believe that ZF will have a power outage, he prefers to believe that there is a problem in the village.

"I just wanted to find you, you're a power system employee. Now do two things right away. First: take someone to check the line, especially the transformer. Second, call your old colleagues and ask them what's going on. Let's hope the worst doesn't happen. ”

After saying this, Su San walked away. He wondered how his brother-in-law was doing in the city.

When Su San came to the base camp - chess and card room with a black face, everyone drooped their heads, and the usual anger dissipated.

You don't have to ask to know what's going on.

Summarizing the information provided by everyone, Su San knew that things were out of control.

The power plant was attacked by zombies, and could not guarantee the city's power supply, so it could only concentrate the limited high-voltage power on the resistance to zombie committees, the surviving military, police, and volunteer organizations. The power supply in all the suburbs of the city was cut off, and the government called on aspiring young people to assemble in the urban control area to fight a siege and annihilation battle against the zombies.

Seeing everyone's dejected appearance, Su San comforted everyone with a smile:

"Don't be so pessimistic, can't the phone still get through? Important departments are still under the control of our living people, and things will slowly get better. ”

"Third brother, what do you think of ZF's call to action? Shall we also volunteer? ”

Su San looked at the second child who was asking, and smiled slightly:

"Forget it, they can't control the situation when they call in volunteers, and they don't have enough manpower. You don't want to think about it, the heavily armed army and police can't handle the zombies, and those of us with axes are not sent to death. To put it mildly, be prepared to be on our own. ZF can no longer be counted on. Now it's just a power outage, then the phone and the internet will be cut off, and finally the radio and television system will be unmanaged, the factory will be abandoned, the food will be scarce, and the real end is coming! ”

Su San originally wanted to cheer everyone up, but as he spoke, he wrapped himself in. The backbone of the main heart is gone, and everyone is gone.

"Made, is the official in our city in the brain in water? The Imperial Capital, the Demon Capital, Yangcheng, Hot Pot City, and Jinling City all distributed light weapons to the common people, leading everyone to besiege the city and save themselves. These bastards still refuse to shoot their guns, and when all the people he is aiming at are dead, let's see if they have a head to survive?! ”

Liu Chun angrily banged on the table and shouted.

"Forget it, it's good to start a pistol. But there are also obvious shortcomings, once the people have guns in their hands, and there is no super organization and control like the imperial capital and the demon capital, the scene will be more terrible than dealing with zombies. Leaders are not fools and think about the problem more comprehensively than we do. ”

"Third child, how can you help these people who eat people and don't spit out bones!"

When Liu Chun saw Su San scolding him in front of so many people, he immediately became anxious.

Su San responded with a smile:

"Don't think so badly about officials, they are also people. I won't sit idly by. We are different from the imperial capital, the state does not care about us, and policies and resources have not been tilted. In addition, we have a blank in the equipment manufacturing industry, that is, there is no arsenal. If you think about it, the premise of a gun is that there is a gun, but they want to get it, where to get it. The remaining army must have gone north to defend the imperial capital. The city government didn't even have a burning stick in his hand, he sent a hammer! ”
