Chapter 85: Haircuts for the Whole Family
But the tragedy didn't end there.
Under the high temperature, the relentless flame burns bigger and bigger.
Soon it reached the 11th floor, but the fire escape had long been occupied by fire snakes, and the people upstairs had to pack up their belongings and take refuge on the higher floors.
"Click, click, boom." Under the devastation of the heat and flames, the windows finally couldn't hold on and burst one after another.
Broken glass fell to the ground, crackling.
"Ahh My eyes, my eyes! ”
Someone was hit by the slag of broken glass that had been blown away, covering his eyes and screaming, blood oozing from his fingers.
People in other buildings could only watch as the fire burned from the 10th floor to the 11th floor, then the 12th and 13th floors......
All the high-rise people who didn't have time to escape were forced to run up to the rooftop.
They spread their hands and waved them down for help.
But at this time, don't talk about whether the fire truck can come, even calling the police is a luxury.
The rooftop, without any shelter, may have died under the scorching sun before it was burned to death.
People are in despair.
Someone turned around and rushed down, rather than waiting here for death, it was better to fight to the death.
Some people took off their clothes and covered their heads, and shrunk into the corners as much as possible to maintain their strength.
However, no matter what you do, it is in vain.
At first, you can still hear the cries for help, but after less than five minutes, the cries subside, and then gradually fade away.
The people on the rooftop floor were all burned alive.
The fire burned all night.
Until dawn.
The relentless flames burned everything and all the hopes of all, and then gradually extinguished itself.
Those who lost their homes and loved ones in the fire did not even have time to wipe away their tears, and immediately threw themselves into the battle for survival.
With no supplies and no shelter, they can only live like cockroaches in the cramped, stuffy corridors, waiting for rescue.
Or, wait for death.
People's sympathy for the tragedy only stops at the few seconds of verbal regret, and how much better is they than them?
After struggling to stay up into the evening, the temperature dropped back to 40°C.
It's finally time to come out and move.
SCP-1602 relies on a large amount of ice to keep the temperature in the room at around 38°C during the day, which is still very hot, but not unbearable.
After the outside temperature dropped in the evening, the temperature inside 1602 also dropped to 26°C.
Only then did the family have an appetite for food.
At noon, they barely ate a few bites, but they were all too hot to have much appetite, and now they picked up their rice bowls again, only to find that the food had already emitted a rancid smell.
In just half a day, the fresh meal has already gone bad.
"Alas, it's too wasteful, I'll go make a new one" Yang Yujun took the spoiled meal to the kitchen and threw it away.
"Grandma, forget it, don't fire in the hot weather, just eat ready-made." Lin Wanqiao shouted to Yang Yujun.
She brought out a cold jellyfish, scrambled eggs with bitter gourd, and stir-fried pork with garlic.
"It's hot, eat some bitter gourd and go to the fire." She also gave the dog a copy intimately.
As soon as the dog entered his mouth, he was about to spit out.
Lin Wanqiao's eyes widened, do you dare?
"Boom."
It hesitated, and finally swallowed it without chewing.
Thinking of the dog's hot daytime and sticking out its tongue, seeing the dense hair on its body, Lin Wanqiao decided to shave it.
After dinner, she took an electric clipper to dehair the dog.
The dog lay on the ground very obediently, letting Lin Wanqiao fiddle with it.
The shaved hair was piled up on the floor like a layer of fur.
Liu Jian'an looked at it interestingly, and suddenly remembered: "Qiaoqiao, can you twist people's hair?" ”
"Okay, what's wrong?"
Liu Jian'an pointed to his hair and said, "Give me a bald head, it's cool!" ”
"Okay."
The dog who took off the fur was obviously comfortable and cool, lying on the side with his tail cocked high.
Yang Yujun saw that the dog he had managed to raise with smooth hair was now shaved, leaving only a layer of pink and white skin, and said with some disgust: "It's ugly." ”
"Wang!"
The dog was not happy.
"You old woman, what does it matter if you are ugly, what kind of demeanor do you need in this kind of weather, the temperature is the most important."
Liu Jian'an helped the dog speak, and consciously moved a chair in front of Lin Wanqiao.
"Come on, Qiaoqiao, give your grandpa a nice look."
Yang Yujun glared angrily: "Who said just now that you don't want to have a demeanor and a temperature?" ”
Liu Jian'an smiled and asked Lin Wanqiao to hurry up.
Lin Wanqiao washed the clippers and detoxified them, and then attacked Liu Jian'an's brain.
In a short time, a bald head was completed.
"Okay, Grandpa, take a look, the old man is handsome!"
Lin Wanqiao handed the mirror to Liu Jian'an.
Liu Jian'an held the mirror, touched his bald head, and said in his mouth: "Not bad, not bad." It's much cooler, and now even the shower gel is saved. ”
Is it really that cool?
Lin Wanqiao was a little moved, and it was quite cool to watch.
Her eyes drifted to the side to look at the lively Shen Shaoyu, who was also eager to try.
So, on this night, the whole family got a haircut.
Lin Wanqiao and Yang Yujun both cut their short hair to the ears, and Shen Shaoyu also pushed a very short inch.
As a family, you look at me, I look at you, and they are all amused by each other's funny shapes.
At the same time, the downstairs is also back lively.
The government's dredging trucks are back to work.
Most of the silt in the community has been cleared out and removed, and the original green plants have long since rotted, and the whole community is full of yellow-brown mud at a glance.
Since there was no water to wash the ground, a layer of sediment was left on the surface, and the sun dried up the next day.
In order to prevent the spread of bacteria and cause epidemics, the government also sent people to sanitize all corners.
The air in the whole community was filled with the pungent smell of disinfectant water.
"Come on, come on, come down, send supplies!" Hu Mingui shouted upstairs downstairs with his voice pulled.
The government supply truck was still parked downstairs, and the staff was moving boxes down, and a short and fat man stood aside and checked the list.
Hu Mingui approached the short and fat man and quietly stuffed a pack of cigarettes: "Old Zhou, how are you doing?" ”
The man took the cigarette without leaving a trace, put it in the list in his hand, and coughed: "Hey, what else can I do, this ghost weather, it has to be steamed during the day, and I have to come out to work at night." ”
As he spoke, he reminded his subordinates to send the inventory to the corresponding building.
Hu Mingui nodded sly: "That's hard, don't all of us rely on Brother Zhou for their livelihoods." Why are they okay? It's been hot lately, and I've been going to see them for a long time. ”
Lao Zhou Wenyan looked up at Hu Mingui.
Seeing that his subordinates were all going to deliver supplies, there was no one around him at this time, so he lowered his voice and said, "Don't say that the He family didn't take care of you." In the past few days, the government has held a seminar to prepare for the open recruitment of professionals in agriculture, construction, and scientific research from the public at the end of the month.
The benefits package is good, but the number of places is limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis. ”
After speaking, he glanced at Hu Mingui, and the meaning was self-evident.
