Serious situation
Jiang Miao ate some bear biscuits and exchanged half a bag of bear biscuits for a glass of water with Bai Tian.
She hadn't been to the dormitory for a few months and had never paid for the bottled water in the dormitory, so she exchanged it.
After dinner, she opened the group chat for the owners of the top-floor duplex community. There were a lot of rumors in the group about the coming of the end of the world. Everyone was actively discussing it in the group, but some people claimed to be materialists who had experienced the Mayan prophecy of 2012. They thought the end of the world was too ridiculous and did not believe it. They still believed that there was a great injustice in the world when hail fell in June!
“……”Feudal superstition is not much better.
1-601: @1-1201 How are you guys? I see the floor tiles in the community are all bumpy, is your house okay?
1-1201: It’s OK, except that the large balcony on the roof has suffered heavy damage. The rooms above can last for two days.
1-601: Okay, if you can’t hold on any longer, just let me know in the group chat. I have a spare room at home.
2-202: Buildings 1 and 6 are all duplexes, why are you so panicked? We are all single-story here! @
, how is the situation over there?
2-2401: I advise you all to get some water. There are hailstones hitting the reservoir. I'll record a video for you to listen to.
6-1101: @6-1201 How are you doing buddy? Your house was renovated two months ago, right?
Jiang Miao, who was @, did not respond. She always kept silent.
6-701: I met the owner of the 12th floor once in the elevator with the decoration team. She is a pretty girl. You bunch of hooligans, don't scare this beautiful girl.
6-1101: Hi, @6-1201, you are a beauty. Sorry, sorry. Hey, when the hail stops, I will treat you to a big meal! Order whatever you want.
The group here is still quite active, but the people in the villa area can be said to be nervous.
No. 17: The large European-style sculpture on my house's exterior wall was smashed to pieces. The damn decoration company lied to me that it was made of marble. How can marble be so fragile? I will settle the score with them when the hail stops!
No. 8: You are lucky. My daughter just ordered a glass house on the top floor, saying that she wanted to create a romantic and petty bourgeoisie atmosphere. But it was shattered in less than half an hour. The romance was shattered. Damn, I don’t know if the ceiling on the third floor can hold up tonight.
No. 21: I just returned to China two days ago and there is nothing to eat at home. Do you think anyone can deliver the takeout if I order one?
No. 12: Money makes the world go round. If you place an order for 10,000 yuan, someone will deliver it to you even if it rains knives from the sky.
No. 21: Okay, I’ll find someone to try.
There was no valuable information, so Jiang Miao left the villa owners group.
Villa No. 6 is beautifully hidden, and the impression it leaves on its neighbors is probably that it was a big waste that was forced to stop construction halfway through due to weather reasons. It has absolutely no value for invasion or living.
It was past nine o'clock, and the hail was getting heavier. Suddenly, a sharp scream from the corridor broke the silence of the dormitory building!
Jiang Miao looked up and saw the lights above his head flickering, creating an atmosphere reminiscent of a horror movie.
Then, one stone caused a thousand ripples, and other floors also responded actively. Screams rose one after another in the dormitory building, and the two teachers in the dormitory management department also received an emergency notice that the school had a power outage, and were asked to do their best to comfort the students.
The term 'Ancheng University power outage' also became a hot search on the social platform in the first place.
The culprit for the power outage was of course the hail. The power supply station had been in disrepair for a long time, and the exposed wires were directly broken, causing a short circuit.
Everyone huddled up in their beds in panic. Jiang Miao flipped through the trending searches but felt very strange.
Other places seemed to be no different from the previous life, with the temperature continuing to rise slowly, except for Ancheng where a hailstorm suddenly occurred.
Why only Ancheng?
Jiang Miao didn't think that her rebirth had changed the course of Ancheng's history, but if she had to find an event that made Ancheng different from other cities, it would only be the supermarkets lowering prices to allow residents of the new district to stock up on supplies. She selfishly wanted to slow down the arrival of the doomsday chaos.
Could it be because of this?
The power outage plunged the entire campus into silence. The dark air made everyone in the dormitory building seem particularly nervous, especially after the power outage, which meant that mobile phones could only be used with the current battery. The hail outside was getting bigger and bigger, and the dormitory building would become an isolated island with no connection with the outside world and no information.
Jiang Miao closed his eyes, listened to the clanging sounds outside and prepared to fall asleep.
It is still in the initial stage, people's conscience and morality are still there, and Jiang Miao does not have to worry about his own safety. When the extreme natural disasters reach a point where even the municipal departments can no longer maintain social order, and people begin to do whatever they want in their desire to survive, then the real doomsday will come.
As the night passed, the burning sensation continued.
Jiang Miao was awakened by the heat. She felt herself sweating, the mat was wet and steaming, the floor and corners were damp and there were signs of mold. She quickly got up and went to the bathroom to take a shower and change into pajamas.
It's not surprising, as such a humid and hot environment is simply a carnival party for mold and fungi that love moisture and heat. It's just that the moldy smell is unbearable.
After she came out of the shower, Bai Tian also quickly went in to take a shower. Jiang Miao took out the electronic thermometer. The temperature in the room was now 39.1 degrees Celsius, and it was only six o'clock in the morning.
Outside the window, hailstones that had not yet melted piled up on the ground because there was no sunlight at night. They were covered in dust and looked gray and dirty.
As the sun rises, the hail that has accumulated overnight turns into water under the high temperature, and part of it sublimates into water vapor floating in the air. The content is much higher than yesterday.
Jiang Miao was really feeling the heat and stuffiness in this horrible weather, so she simply got out of bed and went to take a shower. However, when she turned on the faucet, only a few yellowish-brown water stains came out. She could only use the water in the space to wash away the heat before coming out of the bathroom.
“Oh my god, the water has been cut off again!”
"How the hell can I survive like this?"
"Is there no one to take care of us?"
The students outside the corridor complained one after another and went downstairs to ask the dormitory supervisor for an explanation. However, hailstones as big as sandbags were falling outside the door, dense and heavy. No one dared to go out and risk their lives at this time.
Today's scorching sun arrived as expected, and the temperature was 0.78 degrees higher than the same period yesterday. Many students unconsciously used mouth breathing to accelerate the heat dissipation in the body.
Taking advantage of the fact that there were few people around, Jiang Miao went to the dormitory door to check on his modified and reinforced SUV. Yesterday, there were only a few small dents on the roof of the car. Today, under the attack of increasingly large hailstones, the windshield was smashed and the body of the car was covered with large and small dents. It was estimated that it would be scrapped before tonight.
Jiang Miao let out a long sigh. When he bought the car, he thought it was enough. But at this rate of depreciation, the cars in his space would not be able to withstand such consumption!
