Chapter 010 Chapter 10
More than ten days after the blizzard, the temperature slowly dropped to minus fifteen degrees Celsius, which was already very cold for a city in the south. However, the heavy snow continued to fall. In places where no one went, the snow layer was more than two meters high, almost covering the entire first floor.
Ji Yang's biological clock woke up at around eight o'clock.
The air conditioner was on indoors, and with the heat from the fireplace, the temperature in the whole house was around 20 degrees, which was extremely warm.
She stayed in bed for a while and didn't get up until around nine o'clock.
The weather has turned cold again. The thermometer she posted outside the balcony has dropped by three degrees compared to yesterday. Although Ji Yang is not cold, he shivered when he saw the temperature.
It's so cold, I need something hot.
Ji Yang thought for five seconds, took out a portion of five-grain fish meal, took the bowl to the small table on the balcony to eat, and at the same time took out some of the meat that he had cooked for Xixi and put it in the dog bowl.
Xixi immediately came over happily and rubbed against her, then went back to eating.
Ji Yang curled his lips and took a sip of the hot fish soup. When he raised his head, he saw the entrance to the community outside.
The building became even shorter.
There are many figures moving in the white snow.
Upon closer inspection, people from several surrounding buildings had gathered at the gate of the community, shivering and stamping their feet. One of them accidentally stepped on the soft snow next to him and fell backwards into a snow pile, then was hurriedly pulled up by his companions.
Ji Yang just took out a telescope to check and saw the person being pulled up with his mouth trembling.
The others were a little better, but not much better.
However, there is one thing worth mentioning. These people are wearing sunglasses. Not everyone has snow goggles at home, but if you stay in the snow for a long time, you are prone to snow blindness. Sunglasses can also protect your eyes well in the snow.
Ji Yang was afraid of the cold in her previous life. Although it was not the coldest time now, she still didn't want to go out, so she just watched and expected to see how much supplies they could bring back.
This can also estimate the current situation in major supermarkets and outside.
Thinking of this, Ji Yang put down the telescope and was about to continue eating.
Suddenly Xixi stopped eating the meat and ran to the gate vigilantly, with her limbs tense, as if she was looking at someone through the gate.
——
A few seconds later, there was a knock on the door.
Now is not the time for chaos, Ji Yang opened the door with confidence, and saw Li Yi's warm and bright smile: "Hello, I want to ask if you want to go buy some food together to stock up, it seems that this snowstorm will not stop for a while, and I don't know how long it will be closed."
Ji Yang was speechless and shook his head: "Not for now, thank you."
"It's okay, it's okay." Li Yi waved his hand and turned to go to the elevator.
Ji Yang took a look and it seemed that everyone from the opposite door, except the two old people, had gone out. They were all wrapped tightly, wearing gloves and holding plastic bags.
That's good. The more supplies the neighbors have, the safer it is for her.
Ji Yang closed the door, squatted down and rubbed Xixi's head: "Great!"
It’s worth the price of over 4,000 yuan. He can be a doorman at such a young age.
"Woof!" Xixi called out in a baby voice, and went back to eat in a heroic manner, with its tail wagging high.
Ji Yang heard that some dogs had broken bones from wagging their tails too hard, and he hoped that Xixi wouldn't be like that.
Two minutes later, Ji Yang saw the three members of the Li family at the exit of the building. It was much easier to walk along the traces left by their predecessors.
Even if you accidentally fall, you will still be buried in the snow.
However, as long as the three members of the family work together, they can get up quickly even if they are buried.
Ji Yang took a quick look, then put down the telescope and started today's exercise.
——
Li Yi was pulled up by his parents in a panic. He shook off the snowflakes on his body and said in a broken voice: "Oh my God, this is the first time I know that snow is so powerful! It's so thick, but it's still so soft. If I'm not careful, I will die."
Li's parents carefully protected their daughter and cleared the way ahead. Their voices were unsteady, but they were a bit proud when they talked about the past: "When we were young, we lived in that bungalow. When we opened the door in the morning, the snow rushed into the house. It was just as scary."
Li Yi smacked her lips. She had never seen such heavy snow before. In her memory, she had never seen such heavy snow.
The snow in Changnan City is usually mixed with a little rain, and becomes hard immediately after falling, the kind that can hurt people when playing snowball fights.
Therefore, the biggest lesson learned on snowy days is that the roads are slippery and difficult to walk on.
How could it be like now, burying someone so easily?
She began to worry: "It should have come out a few days earlier. I doubt whether the supermarket can replenish its stock after selling out the goods due to such heavy snow."
Li's parents stopped talking.
They had always thought that the snow would pass quickly and that their family would leave when it was over, leaving their parents at home eating leftovers for a long time, so they did not agree to stockpile goods.
If I hadn't been able to persuade my daughter, I would have ordered takeout a few times and stocked up on some staple foods and gas tanks, and I would probably be starving by now.
Who could have thought it would snow for so long?!
It’s getting thicker and thicker!
The three of them met many residents on the way. They all had the same destination, a supermarket one kilometer away. After finally arriving breathlessly, the three of them were shocked by the crowded scene in the supermarket.
Two seconds later, the three of them cheered up and rushed into the crowd. When they looked at the shelves, they were shocked because most of them were empty!
Li Yi's mind suddenly popped up countless apocalyptic novels. Isn't this the pre-apocalyptic period? She immediately grabbed her parents and said carefully: "Mom and Dad, from now on, take whatever you see to eat, drink, and use, understand?!"
The two were frightened by her tone: "Is it really that serious?"
Li Yi said firmly: "Trust me."
"Okay!" The two nodded, and Li Yi immediately took the lead in buying things. She took the sauerkraut instant noodles that no one wanted, and the pickled vegetable buns that no one took. She also took some super sweet biscuits and lollipops. She swept through them all and filled a bag. She was lucky enough to find two rice bricks.
Li's parents listened to their daughter. When they saw soy sauce, they took it. When they saw Sichuan peppercorns, they took it. When they saw Wang Lao Xiang, which they disliked the most, they took it. Soon, the bag gradually bulged.
The others were not as picky as them. They gathered around the salesperson and asked, "Why don't you have any instant noodles?"
"Why is all the rice gone?!"
"Oh my god, all the brown sugar is gone?"
The shopping guide was squeezed in the middle and tried to shout at the top of his lungs: "Sold out, all sold out. The stock in the warehouse is sold out. We can't deliver the goods on this road. Go to a supermarket farther away and have a look..."
"God damn it, my family didn't stock up before, and everyone bought them all!"
Some people complained, some cursed, and some were more proactive and went straight out the door, turned left and headed to the next supermarket.
When Li Yi met up with her parents, each of them had two bags filled with all kinds of things. Seeing these, she felt a little relieved, but she felt a little distressed when it came time to pay the bill.
Six large bags of supplies would normally cost a little over a thousand yuan, but this time they cost twelve thousand yuan.
Li's parents were so distressed that they regretted buying so much.
I almost put some of it back.
He was almost caught by Li Yi.
When she got home, she said, "Mom and Dad, let's go buy some more!"
She also thought about the medicines besides food, such as the blood pressure-lowering drugs, body conditioning drugs, vitamins, etc. that her grandparents took on a daily basis.
If possible, she would buy more warm clothes. Unfortunately, there is no coal seller nearby, otherwise she would have to buy some.
Li Yi began to get anxious: "Mom and Dad, can you think about which supermarkets and pharmacies are nearby?"
Li's parents: "!"
What a big deal this is going to be!
——
After half a month of training, Ji Yang's physical strength has soared, and now he can barely hold on for two hours.
Two hours later, I lay down with weak legs and feet.
She was covered in sweat, but her fair face had a healthy blush. Due to the final stretching, part of her clothes rolled up, and her abs were visible.
After recovering from the shock, Ji Yang wiped the sweat off his face and went into the bathroom to take a shower after the heat dissipated. While he was still drying his hair, he saw a familiar family of three leaving the house.
The Li family is quite sensitive.
Because the fireplace was burning and the air conditioner was on, the room was very dry. Ji Yang simply didn't blow-dry her hair. She lay on the sofa and waved her hand. Xixi came over happily to warm her feet.
Ji Yang fed it a piece of meat and opened his phone to check what was happening on the Internet.
When I turned it on, I found that the Internet speed was much slower.
After browsing for a while, I finally opened the social software and saw that the property management group was complaining that there was nothing left in the large supermarket a kilometer away; everything had been cleared out.
[I am really impressed. Are they bandits? Wherever they pass, no grass grows! ]
[Oh my god, my husband just went out, I quickly told him not to go over there]
[It’s so scary. I was in the supermarket and I was stunned [picture][picture]……]
Ji Yang clicked on it and the picture took several seconds to load before appearing. What he saw was a group of people frantically shopping, like zombies entering the country.
Everywhere was empty, with the few remaining supplies scattered in the corners and no one paying attention to them.
The shopping guide explained the situation to the customer over and over again in tears. The supermarket door leading to the warehouse was open and it was also empty.
[Hiss! Starting to panic]
[My legs are weak, oh my god, I can’t sit still anymore, I’m going to stock up too]
[Together, I know where there is a supermarket]
[Great, come down quickly, we'll gather at the entrance of Building 10]
After a while, Ji Yang glanced at the balcony and saw another group of people moving forward in the wind and snow. This time there were more people, about twenty people, so they should be able to get a lot of supplies.
——
People outside were busy stocking up on supplies, especially three days later when the electricity, which they had been struggling to maintain, went out.
When the water pipe burst at first, everyone was able to stay calm because there was snow outside. At worst, they could go out and dig the snow, heat it up and make it drinkable.
But electricity is different.
Ever since the Xia Kingdom embarked on the path of becoming a strong country, there have been very few power problems. In recent years, despite disasters both large and small, the power outage lasted for no more than three days. But this time, after the power outage, there was no signal at all.
The power supply bureau's phone line was flooded with calls, and the response I got was: [The blizzard crushed a lot of things, and after these things fell, they crushed a lot of electric wires, high-voltage wires and the like. The situation is a bit serious, and power may not be restored in a short time unless the snow stops.]
This is incredible!
This reaction stems from the confidence in one's own country.
However, this confidence has now been shattered, and more and more people are horrified to realize how serious this natural disaster is, so serious that even the country cannot handle it!
