The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and people living in high-rise buildings are suffering. The first problem is power rationing, and the second is water shortages. Hot weather is like this, and both of these issues are prone to problems. It all depends on how people deal with them. However, when you really encounter such a natural disaster, no matter how you try to deal with it, there is actually no perfect way.

At the beginning, everyone was still willing to chat about gossip, but later on, they couldn't bear it anymore, and even their daily work and travel were greatly affected.

"Can anyone tell me what's going on? It's so inexplicable, I don't even know what's going on, and it suddenly became like this. I'm really panicking. I live on the 17th floor, and there's often no electricity when I get home from work. I have to climb the stairs, and it takes an hour to get home because I'm afraid I'll sweep the stairs myself. It's really annoying. I never thought climbing stairs would be such a painful thing, but the fact is right in front of me, and I'm really a little scared."

"Oh my God, it's too tragic to live on the 17th floor and encounter such a thing. It's better here because I live on the second floor. We also have frequent power outages, but so far we haven't encountered anything too troublesome, so it's still acceptable. At least it's not to the point of chaos. Otherwise, it would be too difficult. I don't know how to say it. What's happening now is that the power outages are seven or eight times a day, and each time there is only a little time to stay normal. For other things, forget it. We who live on the second floor can still climb to other floors, but it's really difficult. I think it's basically very difficult above the fifth floor, especially when we have to carry various supplies. Now even the water delivery guys don't deliver. Before coming, they have to ask if there is a power outage. If there is a power outage, they are irresponsible."

"I used to complain about the poor lighting on the first floor, but now I don't want to complain about it anymore, because for me being able to walk home safely is a very, very rare thing, and other things are not within our consideration."

"The first floor is fine now. You can go down and get the water truck over here if you need it. People on the upper floors have to carry it up themselves, but ordinary people don't have the strength to do that. But you guys living on the first floor don't have that kind of trouble, right? You can do whatever you want."

The residents living on the first and second floors were all very happy, especially those on the first floor. They all came over and expressed their opinions happily.

"Living on the first floor is really great. We have a small trailer that can be used to haul a lot of water in. It's a really great option in terms of weight. And even when transporting water or other supplies, having these things greatly improves safety. It doesn't take much effort. Every time I do this, I always feel back pain and leg cramps. But using this is completely different. It's so easy and enjoyable. Our small trailer can be used to haul these things directly into the room, with virtually no effort."

"Yes, yes. But for safety reasons, I still installed anti-theft windows inside and outside the house. I always feel that it will be safer this way. After all, the weather is so hot, it is impossible for people to climb to the 10th or 20th floor to steal things. After all, normal people are not physically fit to do that at such a height. But if the first and second floors are not safe, I feel it will be more dangerous. Although I hope that such things will not happen, I think it is a good thing to prepare for a rainy day. It is definitely right for us to be careful."

"That's right. Originally, installation wasn't allowed in our neighborhood, so I installed two layers at home. It looks like ordinary glass on the outside, but I was very careful inside. This is also for my own safety. Otherwise, it would be really troublesome later. I always feel that if I continue like this, it will definitely cause a big problem. I don't know how long it can last, but I hope it can withstand it."

"Safety is definitely something we need to pay attention to. I think there's a real possibility of trouble of one kind or another. After all, we don't know how long this temperature will last. It's really hard to bear over time. I have to make sure the door is locked every night, and I wake up at the slightest noise. It's really hard to bear. But the only thing I'm thankful for is that there's air conditioning at night and in the office during the day, so it's not too hot."

"But aren't those who stay at home during the day miserable? They're really screwed, having to stay at home and feel the heat of the furnace."

"Stop talking, the office area has started to lose power, and it's not just once or twice. I'm afraid there will be problems with the elevators and air conditioning later. I'm really worried about this now. I don't know what to do next. It's really overwhelming for me."

"I think the lower floors are really unsafe. Some people can't get water themselves, so they will cause trouble for others. In such a chaotic time, no matter what kind of situation it involves, I think it is possible to happen."

However, in the first few days, it hadn't really gotten to the point where it was too dangerous. After all, everyone was pretty much the same and nothing was too exaggerated. But as the temperature got higher and higher, it felt like the sky was breaking. After that, it became particularly difficult to confirm the situation because it was quite troublesome for everyone.

"The weather is getting hotter and hotter. The afternoon temperatures have reached over 40 degrees Celsius these past few days. Normal people can't stand it. There are almost no people on the streets outside. If there is no air conditioning, it would be fatal. I would rather stay in the car. After all, the car can still use some power while it is moving. My friend has an RV. The solar energy they installed is basically enough to charge the car. This is really enviable. I would rather sleep in the RV than go home, especially for people who live in high-rise buildings."
