Chapter 011 Chapter 11
The power outage seemed like a signal that the disaster would not end easily.
Almost on the same day, Ji Yang discovered that more people were going out of the community to collect supplies. Originally, there were nearly two hundred people in each building combined. After the power outage, Ji Yang counted the number of people coming and going and found that there were about eight or nine hundred people.
Most of the time the whole family goes out.
This is probably the largest resident in the community.
This is actually a new real estate project, and it happens to be the Chinese New Year period, when most people will go back to their hometowns. A small number of people will not go back, but stay in the city to pay New Year's greetings, and at the same time they will welcome some relatives who come to pay New Year's greetings to stay with them.
If we are accidentally trapped by a blizzard in the future, we will have no choice but to continue living here.
If there is no hope that the snowstorm will stop in the short term, we can only stockpile more food, at least enough for so many people in the family to eat for half a year.
Food is actually not that difficult to deal with, as rice, flour and the like are edible and can fill the stomach. But as the weather gets colder, once the power goes out, heating becomes a headache. There is also the problem of cooking. Gas stoves are used for cooking, and most people use rice cookers for cooking.
Besides, the electricity has been cut off, who knows when the gas will be cut off?
So we have to prepare.
The conditions in this community are relatively good, so most of the shops on the street are for food, drink and entertainment. Shops that might sell fuel are nowhere to be found nearby, so you can only search further away.
The temperature is very cold now, but it's only minus 20 degrees Celsius, not the coldest yet.
Ji Yang didn't go out, but stayed on the balcony. He set up a small stove with a grill on it. Next to it was an old-fashioned enamel teacup filled with homemade milk tea, which he heated on the edge of the stove to ensure that it would not get cold.
In the middle are various cuts of meat, mostly pork belly.
Next to the stove are various barbecue condiments.
The weather outside was getting colder and colder, and Ji Yang always wanted to eat something hot. When he was sorting out supplies, he remembered that he had bought a batch of stoves of various models, so he immediately took out the smallest one for afternoon tea.
Originally, she wanted to roast chestnuts, walnuts and the like, but she prefers to eat meat, so she decisively replaced the nuts with roasted meat. The charcoal was good charcoal, which she bought at a high price abroad. She checked it when she received it and found no fraud.
Therefore, it soon became very hot. The heat emitted by the small charcoal stove made the temperature of the balcony much higher than before. Ji Yang, who was sitting next to it, felt his face getting hot.
She stepped back, picked up a piece of sizzling meat with chopsticks, dipped it in the dipping bowl, and took a bite. The outside was slightly crispy, the inside was soft and tender, and it was covered with the salty, spicy and spicy sauce. It was so delicious!
While eating, she looked through the telescope.
Around noon, no one went out anymore, and no one came back.
So Ji Yang ate the barbecue in a disjointed manner, lowering his chair and lying down for a while from time to time, and ate until three or four in the afternoon.
I was really bored, so I put away the charcoal stove and started observing the people who came back one after another.
The first group of people who came back had happy looks on their faces, and they were carrying large and small bags. Ji Yang could see that the things that were exposed were gas tanks or something like that.
Then the second batch, the third batch...
What they carried on their backs were either fuel or food, and the amounts were not small.
Of course, there weren’t many, unlike the people who went out to purchase at the beginning, with large and small bags.
There are gains?
Ji Yang was quite confused. He took out his mobile phone to check. Although there was a power outage, it was not completely out of options. Many people had power banks, computers, etc. at home, which could be used to charge their mobile phones.
As soon as I opened the property group, I saw the message: [Brothers, hurry up, the army is out! We just happened to meet the army helping to transport goods. Now many supermarkets have things for sale, including gas cylinders, charcoal basins, and charcoal! The price is a bit expensive, but you can pay with your mobile phone. Bring your charger, there is a place to charge over there]
[What the hell?! Where, where! ]
[In the Uda supermarket, we searched for half a day but didn’t see anything. Then we ran into the military’s transport supplies. We went over to ask and found out that all the major supermarkets were restocking! ]
[I am crying, this is indeed our country, I love it]
[Thank you brother, I was just about to come back empty-handed, I'll go right away]
[Reminder: limited quantity, it is best to go with more than one family]
【Thank you! [Bang fist]】
Then Ji Yang saw another group of people pouring out of the building, but these people were not young anymore.
The army's assistance with transportation immediately relieved everyone's anxiety.
For a time, public opinion on the Internet tended to believe that the disaster would be over soon.
Various positive videos and posts emerge in an endless stream.
It was probably because many signal towers had problems and the internet speed was very slow. Ji Yang still managed to see a few, read them silently, and opened the comment section, which was filled with crying emoticons.
Only she was touched, but not much.
She had consumed too much emotion during those five years, and now it was good enough that she could live like a normal person.
Not to mention that she knows the future.
——
This grand occasion lasted for half a month until the official notice was issued that the supermarket would no longer be open and the specific situation would be notified later.
The crazy stockpiling period has finally passed, and only a few people with a strong sense of crisis still insist on going out, while everyone else plans to stay indoors for the winter.
Ji Yang himself never went out.
A person cannot eat too much and can survive for a month with a bag of rice. It won’t be strange if he doesn’t go out for a long time.
The person next door is nice and knows his place. Except for the first time he came to ask her, he never came again.
Ji Yang enjoyed his leisure time.
Of course she is not idle either.
In less than a month, the grass had grown to almost as high as his calves. Ji Yang entered the space to try it out. Although the soil was softer than ordinary land, it was much harder overall than before.
After confirming, she immediately used her consciousness to control the lawn mower and cut all the grown grass.
The lawn mower is electric, and Ji Yang has dozens of batteries. He can use the electrical appliances directly in the space using the batteries, which is convenient and fast.
After the grass was cut, she moved her mind and all the grass was automatically stored in the static space. Then she moved all the poultry here quickly.
The original space was cleared and they were about to sow grass seeds directly, but they found that the soil had been compacted hard by the calves and piglets, so they had to use a hoe to start turning the soil.
Fortunately, all of this only requires mental operation, and she doesn't have to go in herself.
The efficiency was very high. After an hour, the 50-square-meter land was turned over again, the soil was patted to make it soft, and finally grass seeds were sprinkled on it. To be on the safe side, Ji Yang also watered it.
The water used was the one she used to soak her feet every night. There was no additive in it. She let it cool in the living space and then sprinkled it directly on the soil, where it was quickly absorbed by the soil.
The poultry whose nests were moved nearby were also very happy. The new nests smelled of grass, and the soil was much firmer and more comfortable than before.
The lambs and calves in particular seemed to like this grass very much. Even if there was only a short piece left, they would keep their mouths arched and try to take a nibble on it.
Seeing them like this, Ji Yang generously divided the grass into two portions and put them in the cowshed and sheepfold. Immediately, the group of little guys rushed over, bleating and mooing, while munching on the grass.
I didn't even look down on the feed she gave me.
Ji Yang almost thought, why not just raise it like this and use the other side to produce forage?
But after seeing the livestock grow a lot in just one month, I decided to give up. They ate well and slept well in the space, but they couldn't move around. If they grew a little bigger, it would be so cramped.
So he waited for another half a month, and when the newly planted grass grew to the height of his calves, Ji Yang replanned his entire living space.
A 100-square-meter open space is divided into two by a line in the middle.
Then, according to their size, they were divided into six grids of different sizes, among which the living circles of cows and pigs were the largest, followed by sheep, ducks and geese.
Finally, there are chickens, as well as roosters and quail.
Ji Yang didn't calculate the exact square footage of each one, but just made sure they were spacious enough for living.
By this time, the snowstorm had lasted for more than two months.
The temperature also dropped to more than thirty degrees below zero.
Due to the cold wind and snowstorm, fewer people go out than before. Some of the reasons are that they have stockpiled a lot of supplies, and some are that it is too cold and they can't bear it. They think that the food at home can still be eaten for a while, so they decide not to go out.
Therefore, when Ji Yang sat on the balcony every day, he could no longer see many people in the community, but if he looked further away, he could still see some people.
Until one day when I woke up from a nap, I opened my eyes and found that the sky was dark.
It’s getting dark so soon?
She took out her cell phone and looked at it. It was exactly four o'clock in the afternoon.
That's not right.
Ji Yang hurried to the balcony. Xixi was already standing there with her tail tucked between her legs, looking at the cloudy sky with vigilance.
It snowed before, but the sky wasn't dark. The consequences of a snowstorm are horrible, but not snowing. But now...
As time passed, the sky became increasingly darker and the surrounding trees gradually began to sway. Later, the whistling wind blew countless snowflakes past. Many snowflakes stuck to the glass and refused to fall down. Others came in through the gaps that she had opened for ventilation, and in a short time, they condensed into a pool of snow on the ground.
Ji Yang hurried forward to close the gap. In an instant, the whistling sound outside was reduced to only one tenth of its original size. A layer of fog quickly spread on the glass and visibility dropped rapidly.
Suddenly there was a crisp "click" sound.
Ji Yang took out a telescope and saw that a tree in the community was cut in half. The huge crown fell to the ground and was soon buried by the snow.
When I glanced again, I saw a tree next to me fly up, carried by the wind, and hit the window of a house opposite.
“Crash——”
"ah!"
The screams spread out instantly, frightening countless people.
The blizzard is coming!
