Chapter 060 Dark Day is saving us!
Jing Shu held her forehead with her hand, feeling somewhat melancholy. Jing's father boasted that the Dark Days would not end, that we had already entered the apocalypse! The next ten years would be filled with various natural and man-made disasters. Did she have to live there forever, either?
She was once bitten by a snake and became afraid of ropes for ten years. Grandpa and grandma Jing's father had the obligation to support her. Moreover, she didn't want her grandparents to die early in this life. However, she was killed by her aunt and outsiders in her previous life, which made her wary of everyone else. She was afraid of raising another ungrateful person.
Just when I was about to find a reason to refuse, my cousin Wu Youai refused first.
"I have to work with the professor on scientific research topics for the next half month to get a chance to be recommended. You guys go ahead." Wu Youai is used to living alone. For a homebody, all of Jing's father's problems are not a problem. She can go a month without cooking, washing dishes, taking a bath, or using air conditioning. As long as her spiritual needs are met, it is enough.
This otaku girl who lives in the second dimension is actually a top graduate student...
Jingshu squinted her eyes and finally remembered the reason. The family of her third aunt's ex-husband favored boys over girls, and her third aunt could no longer get pregnant, so she resolutely divorced him. When she went to school, she wanted to change Wu Youai's surname to Jing Youai, but unfortunately Wu Youai refused to agree.
The little girl said, "I want to have the surname Wu. I can't hide my Wu blood. I will study hard and become a great scientist. I will make the Wu family regret it and beg me for mercy. Then I will change my surname! I won't change my surname until I make something of myself!"
So while she works hard and indulges in the two-dimensional world, she envies the protagonists in it who can defy fate and turn the tide.
"I'll stay and accompany Youai, and let mom and dad go." Jinglai couldn't leave her daughter alone in this environment.
"Then let's wait for Youai to finish her busy period. If the Dark Day is not over yet, we can go and stay for a few days to relax. Now the mother and daughter are just right, we can go there without worrying about it." Jingnai smiled and grabbed Jingshu's arm, very satisfied: "You have gained some weight." Jingshu's face was full of black lines when she heard it.
This time they came in a hurry and didn't bring anything with them. Jing's father agreed to bring some fresh fruits and vegetables in a few days and then left. Jingshu also breathed a sigh of relief.
At the same time, Jingshu felt that this was not a solution. The old people believed in returning to their roots and did not like to live at their daughter's house today and their son's house tomorrow. The end of the world was still a long way off, and even if grandpa and grandma continued to live in the villa, the old couple would not be comfortable. But Jingshu was not at ease if she asked them to return to the countryside.
However, Jingshu didn't expect that after just a few days of worrying, the problem was solved satisfactorily.
The sunlight has disappeared for nearly two months. It has been a while since the news said it would end in more than 30 days, but there is no sign of the sun coming out.
After half a month of turmoil, the black fungus beetle incident has almost disappeared. People are gradually getting used to the high temperature, lack of water, and the lack of the pressure of death caused by the spread of bacteria. Every day they talk about someone's death in a family, so they start to feel nervous.
While wondering when the Dark Day will end, I also want to stock up on more food.
Because no one knows when the light will return, CCTV Science Channel has released the latest statement: Dark Day is saving us!
"It is said that the impact of the collision of stars caused the Earth's orbit to deviate, resulting in the chaotic seasons, and brought the Earth closer to the sun, which is why the temperature is so high."
"This is thanks to the billions of ash and dust left in the atmosphere by the collision of stars, which blocked out the sunlight. Otherwise, the Earth's temperature would be even higher, and the living environment would be even more hostile! Now the Earth is slowly returning to its orbit. Please be patient and wait for the Earth to recover."
Jing's parents looked surprised after reading it. Jingshu couldn't help but roll her eyes. "Keep on bragging. You come up with all sorts of excuses every month. Amazing."
Even though the central government has tried every possible way to appease the people and even issued task targets to local governments, and even added several departmental positions: the first position is a condolence and conversation specialist, who is responsible for ensuring that residents in every community are visited, collecting people's voices and comforting those who are upset, while also monitoring and preventing unrest.
The second position is a crop cultivation specialist, and we are looking for new ways to grow vegetables in the dark and other related knowledge.
The third position is civilian security, responsible for guarding the entrances of supermarkets, hospitals, and bus stations.
The security guards at the gate give some free time to those who are not busy, which is also to prevent trouble. Generally, there are 2 armed policemen to 10 security guards. However, in the future, only those with strong connections and abilities can be qualified for this job.
Don't underestimate these positions. After the end of the world, these positions are the easiest in the system and at least they provide you with a meal. In fact, the jobs of serving food in the cafeteria, counting supplies, distributing water, and keeping scores that appear after a year are also not bad.
Jingshu intends to let Jingba get the first or second position first. If he waits until the situation stabilizes next year, it will be difficult to get in.
The opening hours of large supermarkets have been changed to only two hours from 19:00 to 21:00. As we don’t know when the sun will return, more people are queuing up every day. I don’t know when people started queuing up at 17:00 waiting for the supermarket to open, and the situation is getting worse and worse.
Jingshu remembers that within three months, people would queue up for days and nights just to wait for the supermarket to open for an hour, and those who didn't get their turn would have to wait until tomorrow.
Snacks, by-products, vegetables, grains, oils and all other edible things are being snapped up, and some people even spend a lot of money to go to the countryside to buy grain.
While prices are soaring, cars that are almost worth scrap metal are also seeing crazy price drops. Everyone's wallets are empty due to the money spent on shopping, transportation, hospitalization, food, etc. in the past two months.
So what can we do?
Sell car!
Sell house!
But as the death toll continued to rise, the demand for these two things decreased drastically, and house prices, which had been falling because there were too many houses, fell to the bottom.
People who own three or four properties are panicking. They can't sell their RVs, and they don't have the cash to buy food from private individuals. What can they do? Lower the prices, and keep lowering them!
This has led to the appearance of an impending collapse of the housing market.
Building 25 for sale: "Everyone, I have a fully furnished 123-square-meter apartment for sale on the first floor of Building 25. It's only 200,000 yuan now! Cash only, no loans accepted!"
Wang Cuihua sent a voice message: "You're crazy about money! 1,600 yuan per square meter is not selling in this desolate mountain area. The price in the city has dropped to 2,000 yuan."
Jingshu was surprised when this message suddenly appeared in the group. A few days ago, she was still worrying about where her third aunt would live in the future and how Jingnai could live comfortably, but today someone was selling a house!
Besides, this community will be a new development area of Wucheng in the future. No matter how many people rush to move in, they can’t. It’s very cost-effective to buy an apartment at a low price now!
