Seeing this, Xia Shige also came over, looked at Xia Huiyin with some concern and asked, "Mom, what happened?"
Xia Huiyin sighed and explained, "There are three owners in Building 7. They are neighbors and have a good relationship. It was too cold these two days, so in order to save energy, they gathered in one room and burned charcoal for heating... But they didn't pay attention to ventilation, which led to carbon monoxide poisoning. When they were found, they were already..."
Having said this, Xia Huiyin couldn't continue.
There are three owners. One is a family of three generations, and another is a family of four college students who come here to rent a house, and a couple with a child.
A total of 12 people were squeezed into a small room and lost their lives due to carbon monoxide poisoning.
When the emergency office personnel arrived at the scene after receiving the news, the situation in the house was horrific. The whole house was shrouded in death.
More than a dozen people were lying on the ground in a mess, lifeless. Their skin and lips were a strange cherry red. The three young children in particular had painful expressions on their faces and foamed at the mouths, which was heartbreaking to see.
At that time, Xia Huiyin, Xia Guocheng and other staff members of the emergency office carefully entered the house with a glimmer of hope, trying to find survivors, but the result was heartbreaking...
Twelve people, no one survived, no matter they were old, children, or young people, all turned into cold corpses...
After hearing what Xia Huiyin said, Sun Yuegui and Xia Shige felt uncomfortable.
At the dinner table, Xia Shige was absent-mindedly eating while browsing the group chat of the community owners.
In the evening, the emergency office issued a group notice to report the tragedy and remind everyone to pay attention to ventilation when heating and to place charcoal braziers near the vents to prevent today's tragedy from happening again.
Now, the owners are discussing this matter. More than a dozen people died in one go, and the owners are in a bad mood. The joyful atmosphere of the sun coming out a few days ago disappeared in an instant, leaving only a sad mood.
“7-408 The Past Gone with the Wind: Oh, I really didn’t expect this to happen… I heard there were four college students sharing the apartment, how sad these four families must be…”
"7-901 Girl Loves Adventure: It was really scary. When the police came to move the body, I was waiting for the elevator on the first floor. I watched them move the body three or four times. The scene was simply terrifying!"
"4-1009 Xiao Liu is working on his manuscript: Twelve people squeezed into one bedroom and burned charcoal for heating, and there was no ventilation. Just thinking about it is outrageous. Hey, even if these students have no common sense, don't the knowledgeable old people know it?"
"7-408 Past events go with the wind: @4-1009 Xiao Liu is busy with his manuscript and no one is around, so stop making sarcastic remarks. Besides, it's so cold outside now. If you open the window for two minutes, all the warmth in the room will be gone. It's understandable that they didn't want to open the window at that time."
"2-1908 Coconut Tree: @4-1009 Xiao Liu is rushing to finish his manuscript. I heard that it was not that they did not open the window, but that the vents were blocked, which led to the high concentration of carbon monoxide in the room."
"2-1908 Coconut Tree: Everyone, please pay attention. There should be no obstacles between the carbon basin and the ventilation hole. Make sure the air can circulate smoothly."
"12-1803AAA Brother Building Materials is closed: After all, burning charcoal for heating is still too dangerous. I'd rather use a fan heater. It doesn't matter if the electricity bill is a little more expensive. I have children at home, and their lives are more important."
"2-1408 Gao Meili: @12-1803AAA Brother Building Materials is closed. How can your family pay the electricity bill? The current electricity bill is higher than the previous high temperature. My family can't afford it."
"12-1803AAA Brother Building Materials has closed down: @2-1408 Gao Meili took advantage of the rising prices of high-rise residential buildings during this period and sold another house in my family."
"12-1803AAA Brother Building Materials Co., Ltd. has closed down: Hey, my husband and I have worked hard for most of our lives and have only earned these two houses. We originally planned to leave that house for our children to get married in the future, but now it's gone, everything is gone!"
