Chapter 50 Water and Power Outages
"Dad, I put the coffee table away."
Shen Xiaoxiao blinked, and her fingers touched the black card twice.
In the blink of an eye, a gray marble coffee table with a length of one meter and a half appeared in front of the three of them again.
In the living room, except for Shen Xiaoxiao, Father Shen and Chen Juan were all dumbfounded.
After a while, the two looked at each other and finally accepted the shocking fact.
Their daughter really has an invisible space, as if she is next to an amazing organization.
Father Shen relieved himself for a while, and finally said with difficulty: "Xiaoxiao, this is not a price, right?" ”
He always felt that such a good thing could easily fall on the heads of ordinary people.
Shen Xiaoxiao shook her head with a smile, pulled her father's arm, and reassured him: "No, but it is estimated that when you enter the base, you may need to take on the corresponding responsibilities, and these are not problems." ”
Father Shen finally let go.
"Okay, since you all have a plan, let's do it according to you young people."
"But there's no telling when it's going to rain again, and even if there's a rubber boat, it's not safe, so it's better to wait for the water to recede a little before going to the meeting point."
Shen Xiaoxiao nodded heavily, "Hmm." I went to cook with my mother first, and now that there is no limit to water and electricity, I can make all the things that can be eaten at home into mature food and put it in the space, which can keep it fresh and keep warm. ”
"Okay, I'll collect all the valuables at home and see if there are any useful things with me."
After the family was allocated, they set out to do it.
Now that the rain has stopped, families are looking for tools to plug the cracks in the windows and doors that leak rain.
To make matters worse, the residents who had broken their windows on their balconies were shattered and leaked a room full of water, most of the water had been scooped up, the floors were still wet, and they were busy sweeping and mopping the floors and cleaning up the debris and broken glass.
Some people also hurriedly contacted the installation workers in the shops near the community and urged them to install the windows.
But now that the city has been hit by the disaster, and many of the windows are more or less damaged, the workers are so busy that they can't take orders, and those who place orders late can only wait in line, and they have to pay a large and high installation fee, almost two or three times the usual price.
In this case, no one dares to bargain, after all, other workers are now fragrant, and if you are not willing to pay, they will do another job, and the cost will be higher.
The flooded people in their homes could only grit their teeth and pay a large sum of money to invite people in.
After all, the official gave a warning, saying that the heavy rain will continue for a while, the city is seriously waterlogged, and if conditions permit, it can be moved to higher places.
Now that many people are trapped, even the rescue team has to rescue the people in need of help first and send them to emergency shelters, and they are not yet able to take care of the people at the top.
To ensure safety, the entire city is now also required to have water and power outages for specific periods of time.
Residents can only take out all kinds of electronic products and power banks to fully charge, saving power outages, and there is not even a lighting tool at home.
He also found all kinds of containers that could hold water at home, and all kinds of bottles and cans in the basin, bucket, and all kinds of bottles and cans were connected to clean water first.
At the moment, it is only a phased power outage, and the weather is starting to get colder, so there is no need to worry about the food in the refrigerator for the time being.
The rain stopped for about three hours, and the water just started to recede, and it started to rain again.
Shen Xiaoxiao opened the curtains, looking at the rainy curtain, and the water surface that flooded the roof of the car and the green trees, some neighbors wore raincoats, sat in a small boat made of swimming rings and various mineral water bottles, rowed to the shop to buy some supplies, and were significantly alone on the muddy water.
Businesses and business-minded people took advantage of the opportunity to get goods from various sources, reselling high-priced supplies, food, life jackets, swimming rings, batteries, emergency lights, and even electrically inflatable assault boats.
It's only been a day, and most people just ask casually, and some people just want to eat some vegetables and fruits and buy some emergency lighting.
However, this rain lasted much longer and lasted for five days.
It's already autumn, the weather is getting cooler, and I have to sleep under the quilt at night.
Water, electricity and natural gas come and go, and residents can only boil water for cooking when they come, and grab to store tap water and flush up the electricity of their mobile phones.
After all, the only way to contact the outside world is to have a mobile phone, and by reading the official rescue information, you can relieve anxiety and anxiety.
But after five days of eating, the people who had little food at home were almost exhausted, and even the people who poured the supplies had nothing to eat.
So someone in the community group sent a message about who had extra food and wanted to buy it at a high price.
The man was a small company leader who lived in another building and had a lot of money in his hands.
After a while, someone replied to him in the group: "How much money do you pay for food?" ”
"Is a bag of instant noodles sold for 200 yuan? Dried noodles and dumplings are fine, and I can buy cooked food if anyone has it, and money is not a problem. ”
As soon as this price came out, many people were immediately tempted.
But there are still people who are cheeky: "I have two bags of instant noodles here, selling them for 500 yuan." ”
The little leader immediately agreed: "Okay, I'll buy it." ”
Seeing this person so refreshing, some people also began to be moved, "Is it okay to have snacks?" I have potato chips and bread here for 500 bucks. ”
"Okay, no problem. I'll transfer you money. ”
Although a few well-fed families were emboldened to start selling, most of the residents remained calm, wondering what to do if the rainstorm continued and supplies could not be bought.
After all, at this special moment, what should I do if I have a life to earn money and not a life to spend.
This kind of person is also too greedy, and he is a very small minority in the community group.
Someone can't look past this situation, "You guys are disrupting prices, I'll report you." ”
The person who sold the things was proud: "You have money, you can buy it, in a special period, now that the food supply is not available, my things should be sold at a high point,"
Some people are still begging for medicine in the group: "My child is sick, and the antipyretic medicine is gone, if anyone has more medicine, I will pay for it." ”
With the example of selling high-priced food just now, someone immediately opened his mouth, "A box of antipyretic medicine is 500 yuan, do you want it?" ”
When these people see that someone is making money, they are naturally reluctant to sell things at a low price, and they always feel that they have suffered a loss.
But this time, someone finally couldn't see the situation, "My family has it, come to my house to get it for free, this phenomenon of taking advantage of the chaos to kill people can't start." ”
The mother who asked for medicine for her child thanked again and again.
There are also people in the group who praise this selfless behavior.
But most of the people in the group know that since someone started it, it means that the phenomenon doesn't end with one or two actions.
If there is no more material distribution, this community will really be in chaos.
