We all knew there would be a power cut today, but I didn’t expect it to happen so early. We arrived early and were not prepared.
There was a chorus of wailing in the community owners’ group, all condemning the strange weather.
Tieba forums and various video software were also very active, with firefighters constantly rescuing fainted passers-by.
The public servants who repaired the transformers and ensured electricity supply fell one by one, and there were a lot of likes and reposts below.
They left comments one after another, saying that freedom is real in the world and they were grateful to be born in China! The post about the end of the world had received over a million likes and was pinned to the top of the screen...
Many people have bought generators before, so they can use air conditioners openly. There are still a lot of meals packed back at home, so my mother is also free these two days.
Some people in the group were showing off their delicious food and warmly welcomed neighbors who didn’t have generators at home to visit. Once the first one came, the second one would follow.
Suddenly, the message that cooking at home would not cause trouble to the country was overwhelming! Some people in the community actually went to enjoy the air conditioning and food, and soon they posted photos of the dinner.
Jiang Yuan chuckled in her heart: Stupid!
In the end times, people's hearts are no longer the same as they used to be, and she would not do anything to let a wolf into the house.
This is much better than her previous life. There were no generators back then, and she and Xiao Nuan had to soak in water all day. She even had to fan the child when he slept. Life was extremely hard.
Suddenly, a video was pushed out.
Some people go out and come back with abnormally itchy skin. If they scratch it, a large area will turn red, and then some small red bubbles will appear.
In her previous life, she was so busy competing with Xia Chaoyang and Bai Mengmeng in wits and courage that she didn't pay attention to the news on the Internet and didn't know if this was true.
Just when Jiang Yuan clicked on the related video recommendation, she was shocked again.
There was a person whose whole body was covered with dense red blisters. They looked very itchy and would bleed if touched.
It was so scary that people wanted to vomit. Fortunately, she didn't have trypophobia.
The more I read, the more frightened I became. This situation had already occurred a few days ago, but it was not pushed out and was only spread in a small area.
What is this, a sunburn? No, it must be bacteria, and it has something to do with the high temperature.
"Ding~" my phone vibrated, I quickly opened it and saw it was the community owner group. The owner of 1301 forwarded a similar video and asked everyone to be on guard. The community owner group went wild.
0902: "What's going on? This is too scary."
0301: "It should be a skin disease. I have watched many videos of this. It may be a fungal infection."
0402: "Is there anyone in our community who has this situation?"
When she saw the message from 0402, she also wanted to know, but no one answered and she was instantly pushed to the top.
0902: "Does this mean I can't go out during the day anymore?" Attached are two tearful emojis.
1601: "Better be careful. The temperature is almost 60℃ during the day. You will get sunburned if you go out. It's too scary. I'm so scared!"
…
Building manager: "Don't panic, try not to go out in the next two days, disinfect your home, throw away garbage in time, don't believe or spread rumors, and wait for official notification."
Jiang Yuan turned off her cell phone, quickly called her parents over, gave them a brief explanation, and then started cleaning.
She had to wash her hands every hour and apply some toilet water. The blisters were horrible, and she didn't want anyone in her family to have that.
I even went into the corridor and sprayed every corner with disinfectant, including the door opposite.
If it really is bacteria or a virus or something, and if he has it in his house, Jiang Yuan and the others will also be in danger. She still understands the principle of "the lips and the teeth are in danger".
This is 100% related to the hot weather. When the skin is exposed to such high temperatures, there will be absolutely no good outcome. Even the best sunscreen will be reduced to ashes in an instant.
I think a medical book mentioned skin diseases yesterday, so I’ll have to go back and catch up on that later.
“Click…”
The door of 2102 opened and Jiang Yuan quickly stepped back.
A strong smell of disinfectant hit me, and the person opposite me frowned visibly: "Do you need help?"
"No need. Many people have had skin diseases recently. It might be caused by bacteria. I'll disinfect the corridor. Next time, we shouldn't leave the garbage for a long time. Is that okay?"
"Yeah, no problem, thank you. If you need anything, you can come and knock on the door. I'm home during the day."
She is at home during the day and not at night. This girl has too many secrets. It seems that I should have less contact with her in the future. She doesn't trust anyone now.
On the 20th day after the apocalypse, the temperature soared to 60℃.
The water and electricity restrictions were reduced from 4 hours a day to 2 hours now. People in the community owners’ group were frantically @ing the building manager, wanting to fight for more rights, but the building manager seemed to have evaporated from the face of the earth and didn’t even reply to a single message.
Many children and elderly people could not bear it anymore. The sound of the 120 ambulance in the community never stopped throughout the whole day.
Qin Yue didn't dare to open the curtains, so she took Xiao Nuan to sit in the open space in front of the restaurant to play.
The most worrying thing has finally come. The official name of the red blisters is: strip-shaped red herpes. It is more common in people with sensitive skin. It is a skin disease caused by sun exposure and can be fatal.
The gap between acne and fatality is too big for many people to accept, because so many people have fallen victim to it.
Not to mention those who go out, many people at home have not escaped the fate of infection.
The authorities call on the public not to go out and take good self-protection and disinfection measures. Experts are vigorously developing vaccines, so everyone should not panic and wait for notification...
At the same time, because the transmission route of the virus is unclear, in order to avoid unnecessary contact, major business premises have begun to implement silent control.
Many places had no water or electricity. After a day of complaints, Lushan Yayuan also successfully cut off the power supply.
Without any notification, the power had not been restored by nine o'clock in the evening, and the group began to feel anxious.
Many people asked the reason and some called the property management, but all ended in failure.
After half an hour of heated discussion, an active owner, 0902, finally brought valuable news: the property's generator was out of fuel, and now they couldn't go out to buy fuel, so the electricity would be out of stock.
In fact, Lushan Yayuan is considered to be relatively good. After all, other places have already started to experience power outages, especially some old communities, where the situation is much worse.
After the power outage, the water supply was also cut off. Fortunately, they had made preparations in advance. All the water containers in the house were used and they were immediately refilled when they were empty. In addition, there was still so much purified water.
