After the earthquake, a howling north wind began to blow.
"This is simply the cold wind in deep winter!" Li Yi felt the biting cold in the car.
Soon, heavy snow mixed with a lot of dust began to fall from the sky.
Li Yi opened the car door and came outside. He stretched out his hand to catch the snowflakes falling from the sky. The snowflakes were as big as goose feathers.
Under the illumination of the car lights, it seemed as if large balls of cotton were flying in the two beams of light.
At this time, the mobile phone signal also becomes extremely unstable, sometimes available and sometimes not.
After the first wave of earthquakes, Li Yi was worried about aftershocks, so he stayed in the car.
Many owners have already poured out of the community at this time.
Some of them didn't even have time to put on their clothes and came out wrapped in blankets.
There are even worse ones, who came down barefoot and wearing only shorts, and were so cold that they hugged their hands together and kept jumping on the ground.
Many owners drove their cars out of the community and parked them in the open space next to Li Yi.
After waiting for about 20 minutes, Li Yi felt that there was no problem, so he drove back to the community and returned to his home.
All the high-placed furniture and ornaments in the room had fallen to the ground.
Li Yi tidied up the house with the help of the light from his mobile phone, and then turned on the small generator he had prepared earlier.
Disconnect the power line to your house and connect it to the generator.
Suddenly the whole room became brightly lit.
The owners who took refuge downstairs saw the light in Li Yi's room turn on.
"The phone is ringing!" Someone pointed at Li Yi's room and shouted to the crowd.
"That's not right! Why are the lights in other houses not on, and the lights in my house are not turned off?" Some owners expressed doubts.
"It seems to be a generator! I heard the sound of a small diesel engine coming from above!" At this time, an owner who remained a little rational said to everyone.
"What a far-sighted plan! Prepare for any eventuality!" someone exclaimed.
"Damn it! You're preparing a generator? It's just an earthquake. The power will come back soon!" Some owners just sneered at Li Yi's preparation of a generator.
Li Yi listened to the chattering of the crowd below.
"These people are really not afraid of the cold!" He couldn't help but sigh with a sneer.
There were no aftershocks, and everyone's tense nerves began to relax.
The snow outside has covered the ground and the whole world has turned white.
Perhaps due to the residual heat from the ground, the snow on the ground began to melt slowly.
Many people started having snowball fights outside, and you could hear the cheers of many children.
About an hour later, all the lights in the entire community and surrounding areas were lit up.
This time it was a real call.
The owners who were unable to bear the cold downstairs returned to their homes one after another.
Li Yi picked up his phone and found that the signal was full.
He picked up his phone and called his family and Sun Yu to make sure everyone was safe.
After hesitating for a long time, Li Yi picked up his phone again and sent a message in the group.
"This snowstorm will last a long time, everyone should stock up on supplies as soon as possible tomorrow morning! Stock up as much as you can!"
After sending the message, Li Yi sent another message in the female owners’ group.
Li Yi didn't expect everyone to believe him, but he would help as many people as he could, after all, they lived in the same community.
The most important thing is that he doesn't want the female owners to starve to death within a few days.
Soon the temperature outside dropped to -28℃ and it felt cold inside the house.
Li Yi found his thick quilt and down jacket and turned on the air conditioner in the room.
The snow is still falling outside, and the thickness of the snow has reached 10 centimeters.
The temperature has dropped to -50℃.
Owners began to complain in the group.
"This weather is so abnormal. Even in winter, there wouldn't be such low temperatures!"
Outside, on the street, announcements from propaganda trucks began to roll in from far and near:
“Attention all residents, please do everything you can to stock up on supplies you’ll need in the next few days!
Extreme cold wave and blizzard weather will continue for a while!
All outdoor activities are suspended during this period! Please follow the detailed notification for follow-up information! "
At this time, a text message reminder from the Emergency Office came to my mobile phone, and the general content was the same as the notice.
"The supermarket isn't open yet! How can we stock up on supplies?"
"It seems I can only go to the supermarket to buy supplies tomorrow!"
"Tomorrow? Are you kidding me? I'm afraid the supermarket will be packed with people rushing to buy things before it even opens tomorrow, and there's no way I'll be able to get anything!"
"The notice just now said 'try every possible means'. Why don't we just break down the supermarket door today and put the money inside! This doesn't count as robbery!" suggested an owner.
Li Yi couldn't help but smile when he saw the owner's novel idea.
"This owner is quite sensitive to the situation!"
Although many owners were worried, there were still a few brave enough to sign up.
"I think this method is great, I'll join in!"
"I'm going too!"
"Count me in, I have the van!"
About 10 like-minded people decided to grab it together as soon as possible.
Others regarded these people as ignorant young people.
Soon, the 10 people drove to the supermarket near their residence one after another.
At this time, there were already several groups of people in front of the supermarket who had the same idea as them.
In order to reduce the risk, these people wore masks and gloves and wrapped themselves tightly.
"Hurry up! There are more and more people coming!" said an owner in Liyi Community to the other nine people.
Soon, several people filled a carriage with supplies.
After returning to their residence, they quickly moved the supplies to the basement, and then hurried back to the supermarket to continue moving the supplies.
Li Yi pulled the curtains and lay down to rest.
"Anyway, I don't have to worry about supplies!" Li Yi said to himself.
Suddenly Li Yi thought of something.
"My car is still parked outside!"
"No, we must drive the car to the underground garage today!" Li Yi got up, put on his clothes and went downstairs.
Li Yi planned to take the elevator downstairs.
The elevator soon arrived at Li Yi's floor. The elevator door slowly opened, revealing a couple standing inside.
Li Yi also knew the female neighbor.
To be precise, the two of them added each other on Green Message when they met in the elevator and would occasionally chat. The female neighbor was named Yan Xiaoli and was an English teacher in a junior high school.
It seems that her husband is also a civil servant.
Yan Xiaoli was wearing a long black slim-fit windbreaker, over-the-knee high-heeled boots, and a plaid scarf around her neck that covered her entire chin.
She looks even more beautiful and mysterious, with a feeling of holding a pipa but half covering her face.
"Come downstairs!" Li Yi greeted the two with a smile.
Yan Xiaoli's husband nodded to Li Yi expressionlessly.
"We want to go to the 24-hour convenience store outside the community to buy some things. Do you want to come downstairs too?" Yan Xiaoli looked at Li Yi with a smile and replied.
