Chapter 113 Official Gasoline Buyback
Someone climbed up the ladder, and the people below who hadn't climbed up pulled him down.
Then climb up by yourself.
Originally, they would have to climb up one by one, and two helicopters would have been able to pick them up smoothly in a few trips.
After all, there is no need to move it to a far place, just place it on the rooftop of a building in the next community.
But now a full minute had passed, and the fire below had spread two floors upwards.
But only two people climbed up the ladder.
The people below were still desperately pulling the two men, so they had no way of climbing up.
In desperation, one of the helicopters had to descend and park on the rooftop.
But before the people on the helicopter got off, several people were already trying to climb up like crazy.
"Bang~Bang~"
The sound of the propeller could not cover the sound of the gunfire.
Hearing the gunshots, everyone who was about to climb up froze.
"Everyone, line up, come forward one by one, anyone who fights for it will be shot immediately!"
A soldier jumped out of the helicopter and shouted loudly into a loudspeaker.
After he finished shouting, he fired another shot into the sky.
With the soldier's gun intimidation, everyone got on the helicopter reluctantly in the order arranged by the soldier.
Seeing the fire downstairs growing bigger and bigger, the eyes of the others who had not yet boarded the helicopter turned red with anxiety.
But with a gun nearby to deter others, no one dared to do anything rash.
Soon the helicopter sent a group of people away and then returned.
At this time, several fire trucks had arrived downstairs, and this time they were all dry powder fire trucks.
But even though several fire trucks were on ladders and using fire guns to spray dry powder to put out the fire, they could only put out the fire on the lower floors.
By the time the fire in the entire building was out, it was already daybreak.
The entire building had been burned into darkness, and no one who had time to run to the rooftop survived.
The new year began dramatically with a fire on the first day of the Lunar New Year.
The incident was not officially reported until the evening.
Someone had indeed set the fire intentionally. Gasoline was sprayed on the doors and door cracks of almost every household on the first 20 floors of the building.
The corridors and stairs were also covered with gasoline.
It was obvious that the arsonist intended to burn down the entire building.
How much hatred and resentment is this?
The authorities found the arsonist from various clues.
Unfortunately, the arsonist had already died in his own home. As expected, he was an infected person.
As for why this person wanted to burn down the entire building, no one knows anymore.
But the biggest possibility is the newspaper.
But where did the arsonist get so much gasoline?
This can't help but remind people of the streets outside and the flooded cars in the garage.
Although they are reluctant, more than 90% of car owners have no intention of repairing their cars now, so they can only leave their cars where they are.
The authorities had previously organized volunteers to pump up some of the gasoline from the flooded cars.
But by then, officials discovered that most of the vehicles' fuel tanks were already empty.
It is obvious that it was taken away by someone else, but of course it is also possible that it was taken away by the car owner himself.
Most of the cars are now undriveable and there is no condition to repair them all.
Therefore, gasoline has become dispensable for ordinary people, and they only keep it in the hope that they may need it in the future.
But if we keep this gasoline in the hands of the people, things like what happened today are bound to happen again.
So from this day on, the authorities issued a notice to buy back gasoline and diesel at high prices.
The authorities want to recover as much fuel as possible from the hands of the public.
Although it is impossible to recover all the fuel from everyone, most of it can be recovered.
This may help to avoid things like what happened today as much as possible.
The official fuel recycling effort is being carried out in a grand manner.
Post it online and send patrol cars to make announcements every day.
Many people who had gasoline on hand brought it out and sold it to the authorities at a high price.
Regardless of model, diesel or gasoline, the repurchase price is 300 yuan per liter.
This price looks high, but in fact, prices have risen again. A pound of rice costs 80 yuan, and 300 yuan can only buy less than 4 pounds of rice.
Money is becoming less and less useful, but at least it can still be spent.
But judging by the current prices, this money will soon be unusable.
Lei Minghu also asked Han Ying and Lu Yuan in the group whether they wanted to sell the gasoline.
Han Ying said she would sell 100 liters to the authorities.
Lu Yuan also plans to sell 100 liters.
Lei Minghu plans to sell 150 liters.
After selling the gasoline, he had some money left over in addition to paying back Lu Yuan.
So he would work as a volunteer for a few more days, get the money for the week, and then plan to resign.
There are several official places to buy back gasoline.
The three of them divided their gasoline into three parts and then distributed them to three places, so that the amount traded each time would be smaller.
It won't attract much attention from others.
Han Ying and the other two also paid special attention to Lin Xue's family in Room 2601.
I don’t know if I didn’t encounter them or they didn’t come out at all.
It seemed that they did not trade the gasoline they drew that day.
Of course, after Han Ying and the others went upstairs that day, they had no idea what was going on in the garage.
Lin Xue's family had no idea whether they had an argument with the other group of people or whether they got the gasoline in the end.
After selling their respective gasoline, the three returned home at noon.
After Han Ying and Tangyuan finished their meal, she put Tangyuan into the space and let it play by itself.
Whenever Han Ying goes out, she always brings her dog with her.
But sometimes when she is doing something and is afraid of being recognized, she will put the dog into the space.
After all, Tangyuan is very easy to recognize. Others may not recognize her, but they can find her through the dog.
After sending the dumplings into the space, Han Ying put on a full set of protective clothing, took out a large backpack, and went out again.
Han Ying walked directly to the repurchase point, opened her backpack, and took out the bottles of gasoline one by one.
In fact, the officials couldn’t tell who was who because they were wearing protective clothing.
The official purpose is just to recycle as much scattered gasoline as possible, so people who sell gasoline are not required to register their identities.
After all, if identity registration is required, many people would be unwilling to sell gasoline.
Han Ying divided the gasoline into several places and traded all the gasoline that she had pumped out from the garage last time to the officials.
The official method of repurchasing gasoline is very effective.
In just three days, a large amount of gasoline was recovered.
But starting from the 4th day, the officials received very little gasoline.
So at this time, the government revised the price of gasoline repurchase again.
One liter of fuel can be exchanged for 5 kilograms of rice.
Many people who had previously exchanged gasoline for money were very dissatisfied with the official operation.
But what can they do even if they are dissatisfied?
They sold gasoline voluntarily, and the government just adjusted the price later.
