Chapter 22: The Last Hope
In the next two days, everyone helped push the snow in front of the building a little, at least so that the first floor could see the light, so that the first and second floors also went home to live, how to say that it is better than living in the corridor, of course, most people also feel that the cold snap will pass sooner or later, there is no need to rent a house for a month, after all, they are not all rich people.
However, with the gradual shortening of the power supply time, people's hearts, subconsciously, are actually becoming more and more panicked.
The food shortage has affected most people's lives, but the phone calls from various departments cannot be reached, so there is no way to solve it.
Just when everyone was panicking, the chief of the 401st floor sent a notice, saying that the state would airdrop supplies to each community in a while, and each household would send someone to collect it with her at that time.
This news is like a rain after a long drought, which kindles hope for the people in suffering.
And Gu Pan knew that this was the withdrawal of the troops in the city, and before leaving, they would distribute some of their food to the people, which could be regarded as their last contribution to the city.
The big army is going to build a base, and the country must know that this is not a cold snap by now, taking into account the overall situation, it is necessary to build a base, and only with a base can we fight against the future disaster, and we can also protect more human civilization, without a base, it is not an exaggeration that human beings will be extinct.
But ordinary people don't know, they all think that there will be no shortage of food if there are airdropped materials from the government in the future, so soon the corridor will be lively, and each family will send someone to wait at the door of the unit with the building chief.
After a while, the sound of helicopters sounded, and everyone cheered together, watching with anticipation as the few supplies were dropped into the clearing.
After the plane left, the building manager took everyone to the material department, because there was still order, so no one coaxed, opened the box together, took out the things, and then distributed according to the number of people reported by each building chief.
They have a total of 22 households, and the actual living is 21, and only Dr. Feng Zhekai and Dr. Feng are on the 6th floor.
After dividing it, they carried the things to the door of the unit, and then distributed them one by one.
Each house is five bottles of mineral water, five packets of compressed biscuits, and five cans of canned luncheon meat, just that.
After seeing things, some people are disappointed, and they come out with the best physique in the family, thinking that many things need to be moved, but seeing these things in front of them is really not easy to accept.
The man of 402 looked at this thing and said in a disappointed tone: "This is too little, our family of five, this can last for three days, and our child is only 8 years old, it's not a problem to eat this all the time?" ”
301 The person who came out to get the supplies was also a man: "Yes, our old ladies are 70 years old, how can they stand eating this when they see the sky?" ”
The head of the 401st floor said to everyone: "The disaster is temporary, the country will not ignore us, when the temperature rises, everything will be fine, we are going to tide over the difficulties together." ”
The owner of 802 was a little resentful and said: "Chief, don't say these fools us, if you are really for our good, can you let 501 give us some frozen vegetables and frozen fruits in her refrigerator, what we have eaten these days, to put it mildly, can't pull out." ”
Without waiting for the building manager to speak, the old lady 501 hurriedly said: "Our family is gone, and I sold it a few days ago, so don't always worry about it." After that, he took a box of supplies and hurried upstairs.
Seeing that 501 was gone, everyone was not interested, and it was so cold, they all took their things home.
Gu Pan heard Lu Ruisheng come back, opened the door, and helped Lu Ruisheng bring things in, she had experienced it, and naturally knew what it was, so there was nothing curious.
At night, there has been no electricity, many homes are cold, mainly because there is no hot water, or fill some hot water in the water bottle and put it in the quilt, but you can also insist.
So at night, some people began to light a fire in the house, using an iron basin, putting things that were not used, and then boiling water, but they had no experience, and the things they used were not good, except for the smoke in the house, they all ran to the corridor, and did not boil water.
This night, although the community is very dark, but the sound is constant, children are noisy, the elderly are crying, husbands and wives are arguing, and you can feel this tragic picture without seeing it.
The next morning, there were fewer people talking in the group, because many mobile phones were out of battery, and some used mobile power banks, and they could still keep bubbling in the group, and ask everyone what to do.
But what can you do in the snow? Most are still looking forward to national rescue, to the melting of the snow and ice, to the return of the weather to normal.
At noon, Lu Ruisheng received a call from Zhuang Jie.
Zhuang Jie was still very warm and polite: "Brother Lu, we have rented a house, in our community, five buildings and three units 704, I have packed it up, I plan to go to see you and your sister-in-law, are you at home?" ”
Lu Ruisheng and Gu Pan had already discussed the countermeasures before, so he replied: "Don't come first, my friend got a batch of supplies, and when I get it, your sister-in-law and I will send you some, and you don't come out of your family." ”
Because they have to wait a few days to deal with Zhuang Jie, they still have a lot of important things to do in these two days.
Zhuang Jie was very happy when he heard Lu Ruisheng say this: "Okay, Brother Lu, I'll wait for you to come." ”
Lu Ruisheng said: "Okay, I don't have a mobile power supply, don't call me, send a message if you have something, save some electricity." ”
He just needs to know the other party's movements, and he doesn't want to mess with him.
Zhuang Jie understood, and said that he was at home anyway, so they couldn't get in touch, just go to the house directly, and then hung up the phone.
Putting down the phone, Lu Ruisheng looked at Gu Pan: "It doesn't seem like our phone will last a few days, right?" ”
"Well, anyway, there is no power, and it is not much different from being disconnected from the network, and the mobile power supply will not last for two days."
"That's true, it's okay, we're together, there's nothing else to worry about, as long as we live every day in the future."
Because there is no electricity, either the mobile phone can't be used, or there is a little electricity left and you can't use it, so if there is something in a building, you don't use the mobile phone, but go directly to knock on the door.
In the afternoon, someone knocked on the door of 601 Feng Zhekai's house, and Gu Pan could hear the loud voice of the building manager through the door in the house: "Doctor Feng, Doctor Feng, open the door quickly, my mother-in-law has smoked, please go and take a look." ”
Soon Feng Zhekai opened the door, followed by the sound of going downstairs while talking.
Half an hour later, I heard heart-rending cries in the corridor.
Gu Pan remembered that the mother-in-law of the 401st floor in her previous life probably passed away at this time, and the paralyzed old man was not happy to leave early in the last days.
The first person to die in the previous life was Feng Zhekai, and the whole building fell into a panic relatively early, in this life, Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng saved Feng Zhekai, resulting in someone dying because of this disaster now, and he is still an old man, so it is better for everyone to accept.
Previously, the state had ordered the dead to be burned on the spot as soon as possible, and the ashes were buried when the temperature rose.
