Chapter 53: Can’t Buy Supplies!
Han Ying was completely stunned when she heard the news on TV.
Because there was no evacuation operation at this time in the previous life, and the one that did occur was only about half a month after the tsunami and the outbreak of the virus.
Could it be because the doomsday post he had posted previously was noticed by the authorities?
Or are there other reborn people like me in the official community?
Otherwise, it shouldn’t be possible for a simple apocalypse post of mine to cause such a huge deviation in this life.
However, the evacuation operation has nothing to do with ordinary people like them, and Wu Tingfang would not be so scared because of it. There must be other things.
Han Ying took out her mobile phone and looked through the messages in the group, and then found the answer from it.
There’s a boss who runs a big supermarket in the community!
He said he had just received an official notice asking him to close the supermarket immediately and no longer sell anything to the public.
Other bosses in the community group also spoke out and said they had also received the notice.
All pharmacies, large supermarkets, factories, gas stations, wholesale markets, farmers' markets, seafood markets, farms, large orchards, large vegetable gardens, etc. are no longer open to the public.
Wait for official personnel to take over the inventory before making further arrangements!
Han Ying's face looked very unhappy when she saw the news.
This thing never happened in the previous life!
She remembered that when the rain stopped before the tsunami hit, she spent a lot of money to have someone send a batch of supplies to Zhao Meihua's family.
Although supplies were very expensive at that time, they could still be bought, and the other party even assured her that as long as she had money, there would be enough supplies!
So the official takeover of supplies is a unique thing in this life!
In fact, this might not be a bad thing.
If materials are managed in a unified way, there will be no phenomenon of people hoarding large quantities of goods and reselling them at high prices, which would lead to some people starving to death.
The most important thing is that during the tsunami, these materials that were taken over can be better preserved under official arrangements!
Otherwise, if it was bought by an individual, it would most likely be washed away or soaked in the tsunami.
It was the same in the previous life. Han Ying actually stockpiled a lot of things during the rainstorm.
But in the end, more than four-fifths of the supplies were washed away by the waves or soaked in water in the tsunami.
So it’s not a bad thing that all the supplies are taken over by the government.
Han Ying guessed that the authorities would definitely release these supplies after the tsunami.
But there will definitely be some chaos before the authorities release these supplies again!
Continuing to read the messages in the group, Han Ying had noticed before that the owner of the convenience store at the entrance of the community was also in the community group.
But he didn't say just now that his convenience stores were also prohibited from selling to the outside, which shows that it should only target those merchants with large inventory.
After realizing this, Han Ying immediately went out with the bag she had prepared.
After pressing the doorbells next door and opposite side, Han Ying stood in the middle waiting.
"Xiao Han, have you read the group message? My husband went out to get money. I just called him and he said that a convenience store he just passed by was not closed yet, so he went there to buy something first. He asked us to be careful because there were people fighting for things in the small store outside."
Wu Tingfang said anxiously when she opened the door and saw Han Ying.
"Then the convenience store outside must be open. Let's hurry down, maybe we can grab some!"
Han Ying didn't expect that this life would become so chaotic so early.
This wave of official operations really caught everyone off guard.
"Lu Yuan, do you know everything?"
Han Ying asked directly when she saw Lu Yuan opening the door.
"Know what?"
After Lu Yuan finished tidying up the vegetable garden upstairs, he began to take care of the rabbits, quails and roosters.
It took him a lot of time just to collect eggs, feed water and clean the cages.
So he came down from upstairs and came out when he heard the doorbell.
"Hurry up and take your floating bed with you. There's no time left. Talk as you go!"
In desperation, Han Ying pushed Lu Yuan and pushed him into their house.
Plans could not keep up with changes, so the three of them took their tools and rushed to the convenience store outside as quickly as possible.
The owner of the convenience store is a middle-aged woman in her 40s.
She didn't want to open the store today, but there were still a lot of express deliveries piled up in the store that others hadn't picked up yet.
So she called them one by one and asked them to come and pick them up, and then she planned to close the shop and go home.
And we decided not to open the store for the next few days, and to hide all the things on the shelves in the warehouse tomorrow.
After all, she heard about the tsunami from her friends.
Although Pengcheng is still far away from the seaside, she is still a little worried.
But after she pulled down the curtains, she suddenly heard banging noises coming from outside the door.
She didn't think much about it and opened the shutter again, thinking that someone was coming to buy something.
Unexpectedly, the man rushed in and frantically moved things to the counter, urging her to pay quickly.
Before she finished settling that person's bill, several more people rushed into the store in the heavy rain and did the same thing as the person just now.
It confused her.
When Han Ying and the other two arrived at the convenience store, almost all the shelves had been emptied.
After all, how many things are there in convenience stores?
There were also a lot of people frantically snatching things inside. Seeing this scene, the three of them decided to give up this convenience store and go directly to the next one.
The occupancy rate of Lefu Jiangnan Community is very high, so there are still many supermarkets and convenience stores in the surrounding area.
The supermarkets have been forced to close, but there are still many convenience stores around.
The second convenience store is about a hundred meters away from Lefu Jiangnan.
However, Han Ying and the others discovered that there were more than a dozen people banging on the door outside the store.
They were really smashing it. Several men were swinging various heavy objects and banging the door against it.
But the boss just didn't open the door, maybe he wasn't in the store.
It seemed that there was no hope here, so Han Ying decisively told them to give up this place.
But everyone knew the news almost at the same time, so there were many people who thought of going to the convenience store outside like them.
Most of the shops along the way were closed.
Those restaurants had closed down a few days ago when the rain got heavier.
The only places that are still occasionally open these days are hospitals, supermarkets, express supermarkets, hotels, banks, casinos and a few clothing stores, and there are even fewer places where you can buy food.
When the three of them braved the heavy rain and arrived at the third convenience store more than 400 meters away, they found that it had also been emptied.
The boss was sitting in front of the cash register at this time, looking like he was about to cry.
"That won't work. These small convenience stores have too few items. A few people can empty them out. I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to buy anything!"
Wu Tingfang shouted in the rain.
"Come with me, I know a place where there might be more!"
Lu Yuan glanced at the convenience store whose shelves were empty and raised his hand.
