Chapter 035: The First Surprise of the Apocalypse
The Internet was also very lively for the first time. Most of the themes of the New Year's Eve and New Year's Day parties were temporarily added with hot topics such as Dark Day. At three o'clock in the morning, Weibo and CCTV were still broadcasting live, and it was expected that there would be a scene of stars colliding.
Night owls were also excitedly showing off their stored food and watching scientists brag about how fortunately the Earth was so far away, otherwise they would have been destroyed.
At this moment, the Chinese people are full of security. They are not worried as they have food. Every household has stockpiled a lot of food.
"boom.."
The live broadcast screen finally changed, and it was like a collision of stars as calculated. In fact, Jingshu didn't understand anything. She just saw the commentator jumping around excitedly, and the screen was full of comments like "Wow!". Jingshu was a little confused. This was completely different from what she had imagined.
Jingshu couldn't sleep at first, but the scene of the stars colliding was so magical that she fell asleep while watching it. When she woke up at ten o'clock the next day, there was no sunlight outside. At this time in her previous life, she was still diligently broadcasting live and attracted a lot of fans.
"According to reports, dust has fallen to varying degrees in various areas, with a cumulative dust level of 3-5 centimeters in just one night, and the dust is still continuing. Citizens going out are advised to wear masks to avoid inhaling dust and take appropriate measures."
"...From January 1st, the amount of money spent on medical insurance cards will be limited. Citizens are advised to purchase vitamins and other health products prudently."
"In some areas, dust carrying industrial dust is flying everywhere, causing various types of pollution. Many residents have complained about the turbid and black water, and whether it is safe to drink. This matter is under further investigation."
It was a rare Sunday when Jing's mother did not go to work. The family watched the news and had breakfast. Jing's mother went to feed the pigs, cattle and sheep and clean the house. The chicken coop was hot and humid, so Jing's mother quickly turned on the air conditioner and set the constant temperature at 2 for the entire villa.
Jing's father had to climb a ladder to sweep the dirt off the tempered glass cover. The tempered glass cover was covered with a thick layer of dirt, making the already dim villa even darker.
"Fortunately, the entire villa is covered with tempered glass, otherwise the whole villa would be covered with dirt." Jing's mother couldn't imagine how dirty it would be. Thinking about it this way, the tempered glass that was used to make it look more impressive was of some use.
That's right, no one expected that there would be dust rain. The dust particles produced by the collision of stars not only covered the atmosphere, but also leaked a lot, causing the dust rain phenomenon, which will continue for a long time.
The news said that the earth would cool down when the sun was blocked. It did cool down, but it was only a few degrees at night, and then it rose wildly during the day. The temperature in Wucheng was 3 degrees, Hainan was nearly 5 degrees, and the temperature in Guangdong, Fujian, Sichuan and Shu was 4 degrees.
This is totally summer time.
Jingshu wore sports shorts and pants, a layer of windproof clothing tucked into her rain boots, and a double-layer mask and hat to go out and deal with the feces. She also let No. 1 out for a walk.
As soon as you step down, you'll see thick soil. It's daytime but it's so dark that you can't see people or objects clearly. In the huge community, only a few houses have lights on.
The street lights were on in the neighborhood and on the road in the distance. When I got closer, I saw dense mosquitoes and falling dust particles under the lights. It was only in the first month of the apocalypse that people could afford to turn on the street lights.
The fighting chicken ran away as excitedly as the Husky, flapping its wings to take off and pecking at mosquitoes. Now Jingshu called its name, and it understood and ran back quickly.
There were so many insects on the mountainside that appeared out of nowhere, and their calls were creepy. The fighting chickens seemed to be in heaven, pecking at the insects like crazy. After dealing with the feces, Jingshu ran for a while and felt too hot. It seemed that even if she drank a lot of spiritual spring water, it couldn't protect her from heat or cold, so she hurried home to take a shower.
"The water nowadays is all yellow and muddy, how can it be drunk? The mineral water in the small supermarket at the door is sold out again. Are you really not going to go buy more water together?" A middle-aged woman in her twenties stood at the door of the villa, covering her mouth and nose with a wet towel to prevent dust, and wrapped a towel on her head.
"Not for the time being." Jing's father, also wearing a mask, was sweating profusely as he shoveled the thick soil aside and said with a heavy breath. His prodigal daughter spent 200,000 yuan to buy a water filtration system in order to learn the American style, so why would he buy water?
"Look at the video my brother sent. All the major supermarkets in the city are scrambling for water. Many supermarkets have no water. Who knows how long this rain will last? You should at least buy enough water for a week. It's at Aijia Supermarket." The aunt was anxious.
"Really temporarily
If you can't get a ride, I'll call one for you."
The aunt quickly refused: "Forget it, I'll ask someone else if there's a ride available. How much is the round trip?"
He ran away in a flash.
Jingshu looked at the figure from behind and said, "Are you here to get a ride?"
Jing's father, covered in dust, nodded: "Look, our lights are on, let's go buy some water. Let's go, we're done. I'm going to take a shower."
"Dad, first clean the dirt off the filter head every day, otherwise it will get clogged."
"knew."
So Jing's father spent half an hour digging out the mud from the pipe outside the villa before it was clean. "How long will this take?"
Look, how pretentious people are in the early days of the end of the world.
The water mixed with soil is just a little bit hard to drink, but Jingshu thinks it is at least much better than next year's red nematode water, really; after taking a sip, many worm heads are entangled in the teeth, and the worm tails are stuck in the throat. Do you bite them off and swallow them, or pull them out and chew them before swallowing?
In her previous life, Jingshu would pull out worms from her teeth, chew them 28 times, and then swallow them to feel full. In this life, Jingshu didn't want to try that again.
…
Although Jingshu's tempered glass cover covers the entire villa and blocks dust, it has a disadvantage that it absorbs heat and is not breathable.
The villa was like a steamer. Jingshu used buckets of ice from a commercial ice maker and placed them around the villa to cool it down. She changed them every two hours, and it felt much better. She also made some more ice and shaved it into pieces. She made yogurt from the milk that had been stored for half a month and put it into the space. She added sugar and crushed ice to make yogurt shaved ice, which was sweet, sour and refreshing.
By the way, Jingshu also checked the U's solar power generation today. Even under these circumstances, it still generated some electricity, which Jingshu was very relieved about. Considering the villa's current electricity consumption of at least eight hours a day, various electrical appliances, solar lighting, central air conditioning, etc., it consumes at least 40 kWh of electricity per day, which comes to over 800 yuan a month, more than three times the average household's electricity bill.
In this dim condition, 10 U solar energy units can generate about 30 kWh of electricity every day, which is barely enough. If it is not enough, you can use a gasoline generator and use 1 liter of oil every day, which is definitely enough.
The experts on the evening news came out to explain:
"Water mixed with soil is drinkable. There's absolutely no problem with that. I suggest you let the water settle for a few minutes after you collect it. Then, change the container and let it settle a few more times before you boil the water and drink it safely."
However, the problem of water shortage has not been properly solved, and the country has entered the high temperature orange alert, with serious heat stroke and deaths occurring in many areas.
Someone also died in Jingshu's community, and Jingshu knew the person.
