Chapter 196 Where is the fairness in the end times?
The next day, Shi Jiaojiao and Mu Ci came to the 19th floor.
Although the rising temperature is a happy thing, we cannot ignore the future.
Although the extreme cold was unbearable, there was no shortage of water because there was snow from time to time.
What's next?
In the long nights of my previous life, it rarely rained.
When Wang Jia heard Shi Jiaojiao's words, her joy was instantly extinguished like a bucket of cold water.
Indeed, she was happy too early.
Thinking of the past days, the sense of urgency suddenly increased.
"There are still snow blocks on the roof. We have to hurry and collect them while the temperature is not high." Shi Jiaojiao knocked on the table and said.
Tang Wei added: "There is a lot of ice on the balcony of the house where Wang Jia and I live, and it is also clean."
Wang Jia was a little anxious: "Even if we put all these together, they won't be enough for the four of us."
Nowadays, when a disaster strikes, it usually takes half a year to start.
This little bit of water can't last that long.
Tang Wei asked, "Should we go out and collect?"
Now, except for the relatively clean snow on the roof, they dare not use the others even if they are given them.
For example, the ice layer downstairs is still there.
But who dares to collect them and drink them?
The apocalypse has been going on for so long, and who knows how many corpses are buried there. The water there is simply a biological weapon.
Shi Jiaojiao frowned: "It's a bit dangerous. The ice is about to break and the speedboat can't be driven. It will be troublesome if we fall into it."
Mu Ci made the final decision: "Collect the water from the rooftops and balconies first, and everyone should use it sparingly. The country will not watch everyone die of thirst."
Shi Jiaojiao nodded. She had stored a lot of ice in her space, so she could mix some of it in when the time came.
The four of them did what they said.
First is the water storage container.
Various basins and buckets can only be used to store snow for transition. Once the temperature rises, the water will evaporate quickly, so a sealed bucket is necessary.
The most common ones are various plastic bottles, cans, and water barrels.
Wang Jia and Tang Wei had some of these things, but not much.
Shi Jiaojiao brought down fifteen buckets of water from home.
When Wang Jia saw this, her eyes widened: "You actually have so many?"
Shi Jiaojiao asked back, "Except for the water we found in the office building earlier, the rest are the water we ordered when Extremely Hot first started. Didn't you order any?"
Tang Wei wiped his face and said, "By the time I realized what was happening, I couldn't even order bottled water. I could only buy expensive bottled water. The few barrels that Jia Jia and I had left were found by you guys together."
The four of them chatted and went to the rooftop.
In order to avoid dirtying the ice, everyone put plastic bags on their shoes.
There were disposable shoe covers in Shi Jiaojiao's space, but it was too outrageous that she could take out whatever she needed every time, so she simply kept silent.
Fortunately, the plastic bags have been washed and are not dirty at all.
After all, the collected ice will be drunk in the future, so make it clean so that you can drink it with confidence.
After more than half a year of extreme cold, a lot of snow has accumulated on the roof. These snow blocks were frozen before they had time to melt.
Now that the temperature has risen, the roof is showing signs of melting.
Shi Jiaojiao and the other three lost no time, found a spot with their engineering shovels, and started banging away at the space.
It’s true that the engineer shovel is quite useful. It can be used for both digging and chopping.
This is included in the earthquake escape bag, so everyone has one.
After the snow bucket is full, pour it into the bathtub that has been cleaned and disinfected.
There is no large container at home, so I have to make do with this.
After a whole day of work, all the snow on the roof was collected.
Seeing that the ice on the balcony was melting faster and faster, the four of them simply split into two groups.
Shi Jiaojiao and Mu Ci stayed at home to boil snow, while Wang Jia and Tang Wei quickly collected all the ice on the balcony at home.
When boiling the snow, Shi Jiaojiao also added a few buckets of water, all of which were collected in the golden house.
Mu Ci saw that it was almost done and held her hand down: "That's enough, any more will be too obvious."
After all the snow water is boiled, let it cool and put it into bottles.
Shi Jiaojiao's fifteen buckets and the four buckets downstairs were all filled, and the rest were put into plastic bottles and tightened.
Although plastic bottles will decompose into harmful substances over time, under current conditions, it is good enough to have clean water to drink.
Looking at the bottles and jars in front of her, Shi Jiaojiao couldn't help but think of the eternal night in her previous life.
Perhaps because of the disappearance of the sun, the water vapor cycle in nature has been seriously disrupted.
Although it rains occasionally, the amount of rain is very small, and the rain stops before the ground can even be fully moistened.
During that time, even urine was precious.
Shi Jiaojiao didn't know how she survived.
While they were busy here, Tang Wei and Wang Jia had collected all the ice on their balcony.
After all the bottles were sealed, the four of them finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Currently, the four people have 19 barrels of water, 206 bottles of 500 ml water, 32 canned bottles of water, and even two washing machines are full.
There is basically no problem if you just boil it again when you drink it.
After a busy day and dividing the savings, everyone went home to sleep.
Many survivors saw what Shi Jiaojiao and the other three did on the rooftop today.
How many fools are there who can survive to this day?
Some survivors even secretly climbed to the rooftop and worked in the dark in the middle of the night in order to get more snow.
There are only so many snow blocks on the roof, but there are so many people in the whole building. If I don't hurry up, I will not be able to catch any snow if I turn back.
Even at night, it is much warmer than before, so there is no need to worry about the cold.
For a time, the entire Tiantai community was flooded.
The next day, Shi Jiaojiao woke up to the hustle and bustle in the neighborhood.
This kind of ownerless thing will inevitably lead to conflicts as long as there are too many people involved.
Especially precious materials like water.
Many people even fought over a fist-sized piece of snow.
Shi Jiaojiao didn't have any idea about this.
This is how the end of the world is, the strong prey on the weak.
The first thing you do when you wake up is take your temperature.
The results came out five minutes later, and it was two degrees higher than yesterday.
The current outdoor temperature is 2℃.
After the extreme cold ends, it is normal for the temperature to rise, but there is no trend of the daytime length getting shorter.
Shi Jiaojiao was eating breakfast, thinking about Yongye in her mind.
Before I had even taken two bites of my meal, there was a knock on the door from the 19th floor.
Shi Jiaojiao wanted to get up to get the intercom, but Mu Ci pushed her down on the chair: "Finish your meal first, I'll ask."
By the time she finished her meal, she had found out the purpose of the visit downstairs.
It turned out that they were the survivors of the building. They felt it was unfair that the four of them occupied the entire roof, so they came up and demanded an equal share of the snow they had collected.
Shi Jiaojiao raised her eyebrows and couldn't help but sneered.
Unfair?
Where is fairness in the end times?
She didn't steal other people's stock, which shows that she has a conscience.
Shi Jiaojiao picked up the big knife and went downstairs with Mu Ci.
At this time, a group of people were crowding outside the iron gate on the 19th floor.
"Why do you take away all the snow without everyone's consent?"
"We all live in this building, and the snow on the roof is shared by everyone!"
"Yes, if you don't give it to us today, this matter won't be over!"
"Open the door, don't hide inside and act dumb!"
The survivors outside may have relied on their numbers, or they may have felt that Shi Jiaojiao and three others had gone down to help the day the madman rushed into the community, so they thought the four were easy to talk to.
For a moment, the questioning became louder and louder, even a little aggressive.
