Two weeks later, the temperature suddenly rose, and remained above 60 degrees Celsius for three consecutive days. People were once again gripped by the panic of high temperatures, wondering how long this would last.
Then, around 5 p.m. on the third day, the sky suddenly darkened. Looking up, dark clouds loomed overhead, giving the impression that a storm was brewing.
Just after 6 o'clock, the rain poured down, as if the sky had a hole and gods were pouring water down.
The shadow of torrential rain and floods has not yet faded from people's minds. Now, facing the rain after the high temperatures, people's expectations have turned into fear.
Yue Wu watched the heavy rain in the surveillance video, lost in thought, feeling that something was about to happen.
Xiao Yi's voice appeared, reminding Le Wu: "Mom, I feel a violent fluctuation in the air, it's very chaotic."
No sooner had she finished speaking than a huge clap of thunder startled Yuewu, and many others were equally startled. Then, the sky began its thunderous symphony.
The dark night was like a disco, with thunder and lightning rising and falling, the light flickering on and off.
The official announcement was released immediately:
This thunderstorm is a critical situation, caused by the intense collision of cold and warm air masses, resulting in tens of thousands of lightning strikes per hour, with voltages reaching hundreds of thousands of volts and temperatures reaching thousands of degrees Celsius. It can cause fatal damage to people and property. Residents are advised to stay at home and take precautions against lightning, fire, and electrical hazards.
The internet is buzzing with excitement, with many joking that some deity must be undergoing tribulation to create such a commotion.
But many more people are worried that there will be another sudden change in the weather, putting them in dire straits again after they have just recovered from the extreme heat.
Unfortunately, these people were right.
Xiao Yi anxiously said to Le Wu, "Mom, I feel that this thunderstorm is strange. There is a very strange energy being released. I can't explain what it is, but I can feel it."
Yuewu had already guessed it; it must be the arrival of mutated energy, and the zombies were coming!
Looking at the tens of thousands of lightning strikes per hour, Yue Wu's first thought was that the solar panels and fences outside were powered on. This wouldn't do; if they were struck by lightning, hundreds of thousands of yuan would be lost.
So she immediately went to the gate's electrical control panel and switched the solar system to generator power.
Then Yuewu opened the tunnel door, unplugged the solar panel connectors from the adjacent slope, and stored the entire unit inside the space.
Then wrap the other end of the connector that remains on the wall and place it in the waterproof storage box that was specially made on the wall.
Lewu returned to the tunnel and sent a message in the WeChat villa group, informing everyone about the power outage that occurred during the thunderstorm and that they could use their spare generators to generate electricity.
Additionally, if communication equipment is unavailable, any issues can be addressed using a walkie-talkie.
Feng Xuanlang also sent a message, adding the following information:
During special times, try not to go out, especially keep a close eye on your children. Thunderstorms can easily cause fires, so it's best to turn off the power.
Then Feng Xuanlang tagged @Lewu, and ordered a complete power outage in the villa area to ensure safety.
Everyone agreed and was very supportive.
Yuewu agreed and then cut off the power. The lights in the entire villa area went out instantly, with only occasional flashes of lightning illuminating the area.
Because this is the first time that Yuewu has experienced such a situation, if it really is the beginning of a mutation, who knows how many more people will lose their lives.
Is it possible for this villa area to remain this quiet?
The music and dance gradually lulled me into a dream...
The entire city was swaying in the torrential rain. Residents living on high floors were particularly worried, as the lightning seemed too close to them, and every loud bang was a test of their hearts.
The repeated lightning strikes damaged the power system, and finally, in the middle of the night, the entire city was plunged into a blackout.
Several fires were caused by problems with the power system. Some were extinguished by the heavy rain, while others were ignited by sparks from nearby flammable materials, leading to larger fires.
When the sleeping people realized that they could not escape, many people were killed or injured.
By the next day, the rain had stopped, the sun was shining, and it was as if nothing had happened the night before.
Normally, many elderly women would be up and busy at this time in the villa area, but today it was unusually quiet.
The same was true for the entire city of A; it was as if the pause button had been pressed, and many people fell into a coma.
By the afternoon, people began to wake up, feeling extremely unwell, dizzy, and exhausted.
In the villa area, the first to wake up were mostly the elderly and older women. When they found that they couldn't wake up the men and children in their homes, everyone panicked.
Furthermore, they were unable to contact Feng Xuanlang and Yuewu.
They went to Feng Xuanlang's door and called him, but received no response.
They really forgot that Feng Xuanlang is also a man! They just have a habit of contacting him whenever they need something.
It wasn't until someone remembered that he might be unconscious that they decided to give up and prepare to go home.
But on the way back, they faintly heard a roaring sound, so the women began to search for the source of the sound.
Finally, at the gate of the third zone's fence, we saw Zhang Erhui and his wife tearing at the fence.
The two people were behaving extremely strangely at this moment.
"My God, their eyes have turned completely white, like...like vampires." This was the feeling of one of the older women.
"What's wrong with them? It's kind of scary."
"What should we do? None of the men are awake, and we can't find anyone to talk to."
"Didn't Da Hui's old lady wake up? Let's go wake her up; after all, he's her son."
"Hey, I think it's a good idea."
After saying that, the older woman quickly walked towards Zhang Dahui's house, just in time to see the old lady carrying out a basin. She then splashed the water onto the ground outside.
