Si Nan turned his head to look and found that there were more than a dozen figures not far away. They were holding iron rods, machetes and other things in their hands, smashing the vehicles in the parking garage one by one, causing the owners inside to scream.

Because of power restrictions, even in important public areas such as hospitals, electricity must be saved wherever it is necessary. The hospital's underground parking garage has no lights on and is dimly lit. Many family members of patients who do not have beds but do not want to squeeze with others take some newspapers and mats and place the patients in the underground parking garage to avoid the scorching daytime heat.

Those who are better off sit in their own cars, start the car, turn on the air conditioner, and the patients feel better when they hear the cold air.

The hospital's underground parking lot is very large and can accommodate thousands of cars at the same time. Many cars run their engines, and the buzzing sound as they wander back and forth in the empty parking lot is very loud.

The exhaust gas emitted by hundreds of vehicles together caused the temperature of the already high underground parking lot to continue to rise, which made the families of patients who lost their loved ones due to heat stroke and heat stroke psychologically unbalanced.

They think that their relatives died of heat stroke due to lack of electricity and air conditioning, but those people sitting in the cars actually have money to buy gas and are willing to turn on the air conditioner.

They couldn't see when the heat wave would end, and they were filled with resentment. They cursed, "Why is it that my son/daughter/wife/husband/father/mother is dying of heat, while you are still sitting in your car enjoying the air conditioning? Go to hell! Go to hell!"

Car windows were smashed everywhere and people were screaming. Si Nan then realized that it was not only the crazy people who were attacking the cars, but also many people with bad intentions who took advantage of the situation and wanted to steal money and food.

Nowadays, most people have lost their jobs. With the continued high temperature, water and food shortages, soaring prices, and the elderly and children in the family constantly falling ill and needing money and food, many people cannot afford the money to save their lives and can only watch their loved ones die. However, they turn around and see other families are still alive and well, and some even have extra money to buy gasoline and run air conditioners. Their minds become resentful and distorted, and they have the idea that if they can't live well, others can't live well either, and we should all die together.

Those who took advantage of the chaos to rob were purely doing so to satisfy their own selfish desires, hoping to get something for nothing and to have more money and food for themselves.

Cheng Suming glanced at the situation outside the car window. He didn't want to argue with those crazy people, so he started the car and drove towards the parking exit without saying a word.

The parking space they parked was in the middle of the parking lot. Almost every car passing by on the way to the intersection was occupied. There were young couples holding their crying children who were covered with fever-reducing patches and trying to comfort them. There was also a family of three or four people who packed a six-seater car, fanning themselves with rechargeable fans or palm-leaf fans while leaning against the windows to watch the fun. There were also cars with only one or two people sitting in them, looking numbly at the people who were smashing and looting, with empty eyes. It was unclear whether they were filled with despair about the phenomenon or felt it didn't matter... Of course, there were more people who saw that the situation was not right and drove away.

Those who were smashing and looting were already very excited, and when they saw someone driving away, they immediately thought that those people were guilty or were carrying large amounts of money and supplies. They turned their anger towards those who were driving away, and rushed over in groups of three or five without fear of death to stop the car.

No matter how difficult the situation is today, people's bottom line and legal ethics still exist, and it is impossible to just knock someone down and drive away.

Soon several cars were stopped, and the "bandits" who stopped the cars arrogantly asked the people in the cars to get out and hand over all the money and food on them, otherwise they would just beat and rob them.

A large number of people shouted in dissatisfaction: "Why should we get off the bus? Why should we be given money and food?! Do you know what you are doing?! You are committing robbery! It is illegal! Do you think the laws of the JC country do not exist?"

Many people picked up their phones to call the police, but a group of crazy people smashed their car windows, snatched their phones, threw them on the ground and smashed them, yelling at them: "Tell us about the police and the law. When our relatives died, where were the police and the law? The TV only said that the difficulties are only temporary, and we should believe in the country and the government, and that the country is doing everything it can to restore power supply. But what's the result? The power supply is less than three hours a day! People are dying of heatstroke!"

"Without electricity, my child, who was less than two years old, died of heatstroke. When he died, his body was as hot as a branding iron. He was the child my husband and I had waited eleven years for and finally gave birth to! How can you still sit in an air-conditioned car? How can you still be alive and well? All of you, die! All of you, die together! Hahaha!"

The smashing and destroying of vehicles soon turned into indiscriminate hacking and killing. The parking lot was filled with screams. Some people called for help, some fought back, and some escaped, seeking help from the hospital security guards and the patrol police outside.

I don’t know if it’s because people have been suppressed for too long, or because the hot weather makes people irritable, but more and more people are joining in the beating, and the dozen or so security guards at the hospital can’t stop them at all. Even though the few patrolmen who came fired warning shots, they were unable to stop those bloodthirsty thugs. Instead, they were attacked by them and had to call for emergency support.

The scene became increasingly chaotic, with limbs being chopped off, blood splattered all over the ground, and people screaming and running away.

Cheng Suming took out his usual scalpel from his backpack, unbuckled his seat belt, and switched seats with Sinan: "The situation is not good, you drive and I'll sit in the passenger seat. I'll handle any situation, you just drive."

"I can't drive." Si Nan held down his upper body as he stretched it out. "After I graduated from college, I've been switching between work and part-time jobs. I don't even have enough time to sleep, so I don't have time to learn how to drive."

Cheng Suming:......

He remembered that she could drive in her previous life. Did she learn it later?

As if to verify his thoughts, Si Nan pointed at the group of people rushing over and said, "If I have a chance to learn to drive in the future, I can learn too. Now you'd better drive the car out. I don't want to walk home in the scorching heat. If I don't die, I'll get sunburned. Leave the rest to me."

As she spoke, she opened the car door and walked down, toward the group of more than a dozen men rushing over aggressively. She shook the hospital bracelet on her right wrist, and a weak smile appeared on her pale and thin face. "Brothers, I'm a patient. I was sent to the hospital for heatstroke the day before yesterday. I just felt a little better, so I gave up my bed to someone in need and processed my discharge. My husband and I borrowed this car from our boss. The gas cost us ten times the price. We only have a little relief food left, and we have paid for the rent and medical expenses. My mother is waiting for us to go home. You brothers are all good people. Can you let my husband and I leave?"

Those men all had ordinary looks and seemed honest, but their faces and bodies were covered in blood. The sticks and machetes in their hands were covered in blood and human tissue, and under the light of the car lights, they emitted a terrifying cold light.

Maybe it was because Si Nan looked beautiful and gentle, giving people a friendly feeling. The sick look on her face did not seem fake, and her words were also deceptive. There was obvious hesitation in the eyes of those men. They looked at each other, and actually made way. They also greeted the people nearby, let them go, and turned around to stop other cars.

Si Nan heaved a sigh of relief, got back in the car, and motioned Cheng Su Ming to drive: "I was ready to fight them with my crossbow, but I didn't expect them to let us go. If I hadn't seen them hacking and beating people indiscriminately just now, I would have believed that they were good people."

Cheng Suming steered the car, turned a corner, stepped on the accelerator and rushed to the exit. "Chinese people are not bad by nature. They usually have many minor problems. When faced with a disaster, they will stand up when the country needs them. Now they are doing such extraordinary things. They are all driven crazy by the series of events caused by the hot weather. They need to find something to vent their grief and anger. This is the inevitable path for mankind to enter the end of the world. During this period, no matter how much the country does, no matter how it tries to save it, it cannot prevent these things from happening."

In fact, since the second month after the high temperature began, the country has been trying to find ways to deploy and transfer electricity across the country. However, because the disaster did not occur in one province, but in the entire country and even the world, no matter how the country tries, it can only guarantee the basic supply of infrastructure and people's livelihood.

Today, residents of Xingcheng have three hours of electricity supply every day, thanks to the best regulatory efforts made by the national and local governments. However, the general public clearly feels that the Xingcheng government is not doing enough.

The root cause is the panic caused by the attempt to control public opinion some time ago. The country stopped news about weather materials in other countries and also blocked key words on the Internet. TV stations broadcast less and less content and more and more advertisements. People are living in confusion and don’t know much of the latest news.

The Xingcheng government also knows how difficult life is for the people. The materials allocated by the state are always delivered to the people as soon as possible. There are rarely delays, shortages, or even corruption and fraud.

Because the army most trusted by the people and the country is responsible for transporting the supplies, when distributing the supplies, each branch unit patrols and distributes them with live ammunition to avoid looting.

At present, the military divisions distribute supplies once a week. Each person can get five packs of instant noodles, five small breads, three pounds of rice, about five pounds of storable vegetables such as potatoes, sweet potatoes, and carrots, and five liters of drinking water. As long as people don't eat and drink too much, it is basically enough for a week.

In order to solve the problem of increasing number of deaths from heat stroke due to lack of electricity caused by high temperature, Xingcheng built summer resorts in different districts half a month ago. Usually, large stadiums, parks, underground shopping malls, etc. are used, sheds and sunshade equipment are set up, and many solar generators are installed, as well as diesel and wind generators. Air conditioners are turned on all day to provide people with heat relief.

These summer resorts were free at first, but because there were so many people going there, fights often broke out over who got a spot. Plus, as the weather kept getting hotter, even solar generators would easily stop working due to the high temperature, and generators like diesel engines consumed too much energy. The Xingcheng government held on for more than half a month, but when it could no longer sustain it, it began charging admission.

The charging standard is not high, five yuan per person per day, and a family of five or more can get a 20% discount, which saves a lot of money compared to buying oil to generate electricity by yourself. The fees collected by the government are ultimately used to repair solar generator equipment and to buy diesel to generate electricity day and night.

But it is this charging model that many people find unbearable. They think the government is corrupt and does not consider the people's livelihood, and they have been protesting against it for a long time.

The Xingcheng government is in a thankless job and feels very aggrieved. With the current prices, a bottle of water can cost more than 40 yuan, while a family can spend a day in an air-conditioned resort to escape the summer heat for only 50 yuan.

Even so, many people still felt it was expensive and made a huge fuss about it. They also slandered the government on major web forums. The mayor of Xingcheng was so angry that he almost closed down many summer resorts, but was opposed by many people and continued to operate.

However, even so, there are still many people who are in financial difficulties or are stingy and unwilling to spend money to take their families to summer resorts to cool off, which causes the elderly and children with weak constitutions to get sick, suffer from heatstroke, and die.

Those people who are crazy and hacking people belong to these two types of people.
