Chapter 17: The Continuing Storm
Communications in J City were completely cut off during the first seven days of extreme heat and heat.
What was originally a timely rain has now turned into a violent storm, and it has become the last straw that crushes the hope in everyone's hearts.
There was no signal, the machine could not be turned on, and some people even went to the police station, which was like a store in the city, with the door closed and uninhabited.
It was only at this time that the sense of crisis of the coming end of the world began to fill everyone's hearts. However, in their cognition, those seven days of solar energy killed people. The rain will not be there these days.
Except for Sumi, no one knows the hazards of these rains.
So everyone planned to go out and look for supplies.
But at this moment, many people began to catch a cold and fever because of the rain, and red spots and black spots appeared on their bodies. After taking the medicine, not only did it not get better, but the surface of the skin even began to ulcerate.
This reminded them of the dried corpses soaked outside by the rain, and the dried meat on their bodies became rotten after being soaked in the rain.
Elsewhere Sumi didn't know what was going on, but there were at least ten people in the 29 buildings she was in who had this skin decaying disease.
There was also a faint stench of ulcerated skin in the corridor.
Su Mi closed the doors and windows, blowing the thermostatic air conditioner, and was training Xiaobai in the living room.
Xiaobai is very smart, it can be said that he is full of spirituality, and he can understand her instructions.
This relieved Su Mi's originally tense mood a lot.
And only three days later, Xiaobai has grown up again, and he has gained a lot of weight.
Although Sumi retrieved a lot of canned dog food and snacks for him, he still liked eggs and corn paste the most.
Fortunately, it has learned to use the litter box, otherwise it is really difficult for Su Mi to eat the biochemical weapons it discharges.
Su Mi's three meals are very regular, even though the pot has been fried outside, she still eats and drinks without moving, and does strength training and yoga.
That is until she hears a knock on the door of 1503 next door, and it seems that someone from downstairs has come to discuss something with them.
Su Mi's hearing is very good, and she has a clear understanding of the arguments they have discussed downstairs before.
Because of the rainstorm, the people in this building temporarily formed a small neighborhood committee, and the president was an aunt on the 9th floor. She wanted to get everyone in the building together to discuss what to do. The first to third floors are no longer inhabited, but the water level is now rising day by day, and it is believed that it will soon spread.
Su Mi felt that this aunt was a smart person, and she had already guessed that this rain was different from the previous seven days of high temperature, and she couldn't stop for a while.
It's just that Su Mi still thinks that these people are a little smart, but they are mistaken by being smart. Gather the strength of the masses, some go out to collect supplies, and some stay in the building to do security measures.
How to divide the materials back?
Each house in this high-rise community has about 200 square meters, the least is a family of three, and the most Su Mi knows that there is a family on the eleventh floor, but there are four large, two small and six people.
One serving per household may be enough for a family of three. But what about a family of six? Ironclad is going to go hungry.
According to the number of people, the six families must be the most divided, so will the other families feel fair?
"Now many people in our building have died in the heat for a few days, and the rest are just about 20 of our families.
But as you know, there are several families who are sick and have no food or medicine. The weather outside won't stop for a while, we thought, let's get together and sum up, should we set up a team to find supplies, and go out to move some supplies back first?
In this way, everyone will share a point, and we may be able to survive to the top to rescue. ”
Su Mi sat in the rocking chair in the living room and watched the rainstorm hit the window outside, and then listened carefully to the conversation between the couple next door and the group of people who came up.
It's ridiculous that if there really was help, it would have come a long time ago. It may be understandable that the hot and hot seven days did not come. But what about now?
The group was still fantasizing about being rescued.
"Aunt An, it's not that we don't participate, it's that my husband is injured and can't participate."
Aunt An is a gossip gathering machine in this building, and when she heard that someone was injured, she immediately pricked up her ears and asked with a concerned face, "Injured?" How could he be injured so coincidentally? ”
Lin Lin sighed, with a resentful and helpless expression, and pointed to the gate of 1501.
"It's not the woman from 1501, at a young age, she actually carries a weapon with her.
She pushed Wenwen and me, and also injured my husband, my husband's arm is now inflamed, and the medicine is almost gone. ”
When Aunt An was talking about medicine in Lin Lin, her eyes suddenly lit up, "Hey, it's good to have medicine!" The grandson of Lao Li Tou downstairs has been drenched in rain and has a fever for two days, and he doesn't even have medicine. Hey, if you have extra fever reducers, do you see if you ......?"
When Lin Lin heard this, she suddenly looked at Aunt An vigilantly, and waved her hand again and again, "Where do we have any extra medicine." Wenwen was frightened, and he couldn't eat or sleep well in the past two days, and our family's medicine was almost gone.
By the way, that day I saw the little girl in 1501 next door, who came back with a backpack, bulging inside, and it didn't look like food, maybe she had medicine?
And I see that she hasn't been out for three days, so it's hard to say that she has a lot of food at home, you can go and ask. ”
Listening to Lin Lin's words, Aunt An's attention suddenly shifted her position.
If you don't leave home for three days, you must have food at home. So after Lin Lin closed the door, Aunt An walked to the gate of 1501 with a smile and knocked on the door.
Sumi was really going to be amused.
This misfortune is a good quote, but it's a pity that it was used on the wrong person.
Aunt An knocked on the door outside for a long time, but no one responded to open the door, and she began to frown.
Su Mi heard the sound of footsteps leaving outside the door, thinking that the other party had given up, but who knew that after a while, three or four footsteps appeared at the door of her house.
"Mom, this family may have gone out to look for supplies and hasn't come back yet, it's not good for us to do this!"
It was a male voice who spoke, and it should be Aunt An's son or son-in-law.
"What's bad! What time is it now, and where can I care about others?
1503 next door said that there was a little girl living in this house, and she hadn't gone out for three days, either she had hoarded a lot of things, or she died. For the sake of her safety, let's go in and see what's going on with her? ”
"That's right, husband, we have a family of five, and the baby is still sick, what if she has medicine?"
The man was silent, picked up the axe in his mother's hand and walked to the front.
The residential buildings are equipped with electronic locks, and the door can only be opened by digging up the entire lock.
At the moment when An Chenghu picked up an axe to split the door, a gap opened in the door of 1501, and a faint voice with indifference came out.
"I don't have what you want."
The door was opened inward, and because it was covered with a calf-high cement wall built by Su Mi, the door was blocked halfway through opening.
At that time, Su Mi only left a gap for herself to pass through, in order to prevent such a thing from happening today.
Seeing that the door couldn't be opened, An Chenghu raised his leg and was about to go in, but in the next second, An Chenghu screamed and quickly withdrew his bloody leg and sat at the door of Sumi 1501.
"Ahh Son, kill, kill! Someone is going to kill my son! ”
Where has Aunt An seen such a bloody scene, looking at An Chenghu's bleeding thighs, she sat directly on the ground and screamed, and her legs couldn't stop shaking.
Su Mi showed half of her face behind the door, and her one eye looked at the people at the door indifferently. "Get out."
The An family was shocked by Su Mi's indifference and bloody violence, and helped An Chenghu back to the ninth floor crying.
In this building, except for a family of six people on the twelfth floor, the rest are the most populous. Now the grandson has a fever, and the son needs medicine when he is injured, but there is no medicine in their family to use.
