Chapter 10 Accidents
In fact, the authorities had mobilized all police forces very early on, and later even the military, to provide all-out rescue efforts to the people.
And soon relief centers were set up in several large venues in the city to provide centralized heating.
People who are severely affected by the disaster can choose to leave their homes and take refuge there.
But as the blizzard continued to fall, the temperature dropped rapidly, and the blizzard covered the area much faster than it could be cleared manually.
The rescue operation becomes more difficult, and even the authorities are struggling.
But time passed, and for Mu Jiu, who was well prepared, day after day made no difference.
The temperature outside was getting lower and lower, and the fireplace in Mu Jiu's house had two levels, and firewood was burning inside and outside the house.
It's warm like spring from morning to night.
From time to time, she would stew a hot pot in the yard, boil tea around the stove, and roast corn and sweet potatoes.
Move a small lounge chair and bask in the sun to replenish calcium.
After a month of accumulated heavy snow, the surface temperature dropped, gradually approaching a low temperature of minus 50 degrees Celsius.
Nancheng is a typical southern city, where even floor heating is not common in ordinary homes.
After all, even in the coldest winter, the temperature will not drop below minus 10 degrees Celsius.
So at this moment the entire city has been completely frozen into a big ice mass, with a temperature of minus 50 degrees Celsius, which is almost devastating.
People living in the villas within the hot spring resort gradually began to feel that the central air conditioning in the villas seemed to be broken and there was no warmth at all.
Even wearing a down jacket and covering myself with the thickest quilt, I was still shivering with cold.
Fortunately, there is still the hot springs, the enduring mainstay, to support the business, otherwise we would really not be able to survive.
Various complaints about the environment and villa hardware facilities began to appear in the WeChat group.
The more crucial issue is that the thing that brought them together here - the rumored one-month deadline for the cold wave has arrived.
Most of the villa tenants only paid one month's rent to come here to escape the cold and spend a vacation.
But now it seems that this natural disaster has no sign of ending at all, and the biting cold is getting more and more severe.
The housekeeper representatives tried their best to calm everyone down in the WeChat group.
He also said that because the weather was too cold, the air conditioning heating effect was limited.
Starting from today, the housekeeping team will deliver sufficient firewood to every household in the villa every day for the guests to burn for heating!
As for where the firewood comes from, of course it is cut by the housekeepers from the mountains behind the hot spring resort!
After all, the boss lady lives here.
Moreover, the housekeeping team includes security personnel and maintenance personnel, so they have a full range of equipment.
Pruning tools such as electric saws and electric shears are available in a special office storage room in the resort’s service center building.
That afternoon, the doorbell of Mu Jiu's courtyard rang. It was the same group of housekeepers who delivered food last time, bringing firewood to her.
This time Mu Jiu did not open the door. Instead, he expressed his gratitude to the housekeeper outside through the glass for his hard work.
She asked them to put the firewood they sent in the snow outside the door, and when it was needed, she could just come out and get it.
On the one hand, not allowing outsiders to enter her territory is a matter of principle.
On the other hand, the temperature difference between her yard and outside was too great, and she didn't want these cunning housekeepers to notice it too early.
Because the entire villa has been treated with the strongest thermal insulation, you can't feel any warmth when standing outside the yard, just like putting your hand on the outer wall of a thermos.
The housekeeping department had good intentions in delivering firewood to each villa, but for these wealthy people who were born and raised in the city, it was not necessarily a good thing.
On the night the firewood was delivered, accidents occurred in two villas.
But Mu Jiu learned all these things from the WeChat group when he got up early the next day.
One of the families accidentally set the villa on fire due to improper ignition...
Some kind-hearted people also attached photos of the fire that night.
Late at night, I saw a villa in the resort with flames rising from it.
Fortunately, the housekeeper was well-trained and promptly brought the resort's small fire truck to put out the fire, preventing greater damage.
All the walls were burnt black, and the interior decoration and furniture were also destroyed.
There is no way I can live in that villa anymore.
But it is said that there is a family of 12 living in that villa. It would be difficult to relocate so many people.
There was another family that night who also used fire improperly.
Because they were afraid of the cold, the couple closed the windows of the villa tightly and went to take a shower.
As a result, a family of eight, including two children and four elderly people, all suffered from carbon monoxide poisoning...
By the time they sought help, the poisoning was too severe and the old man and the child had long since died.
The phone calls to 120\/110\/119 were not connected. As early as the first week of the blizzard and road closures at the beginning of the apocalypse, these places were already in a state of collapse and paralysis.
But even though the housekeeper is equipped with a professional doctor, he can only do some simple auxiliary work.
Without professional medical equipment and medicines, even the best cook cannot cook without rice.
So the whole family died that night.
Outside of the hot spring resort, communications had long been cut off, and no other relatives of the family could be found to handle the funeral affairs.
But when a person dies, the body cannot be left to rot and stink in the villa.
During that special period, the housekeeper stepped in to handle the cremation and burial issues for that family.
Of course, once the problem of the dead is dealt with, the problem of the living people in the other family will also be easily solved.
The 12 members of the family that suffered from the fire moved into the haunted house with mixed feelings under the arrangement and advice of the housekeeper.
Before dawn the next day, the housekeeper posted the top ten things to pay attention to when using fire indoors in the WeChat group.
@Everyone read it carefully and warn everyone not to let such accidents happen again.
The poisoning incident had a significant impact on the mentality of everyone in the resort.
Coupled with the increasingly cold weather and the continuous blizzards day and night, the atmosphere in the group began to become weird, and the previous lively atmosphere was no longer there.
For several days after that, no one in the group made an appointment to go up the mountain to take a hot spring bath.
After all, when we first came here, we only made one month of preparation, both materially and psychologically.
If the weather continues like this, the food and daily necessities we brought will soon run out...
And the official news...a whole month has passed, and there has been no sign of official rescue.
Everyone here was in a state of anxiety, except Mu Jiu.
