Chapter 35 Power Outage
In the group, the incident was still being discussed heatedly. Everyone was excited and cursing the horrible weather.
But if someone observes carefully, they can find that some families who usually talk all the time hardly say anything later. Qin Xingyue stood by the window, holding a telescope, watching the figures who left the community overnight, raised her eyebrows and smiled.
"From today on, the gate is closed. If anyone dares to break in, it will be fun!"
She chuckled and walked briskly back into the house. She didn't feel anxious at all, but rather excited.
Many people were destined to remain sleepless this night.
Many people realized it later and rushed to the supermarket overnight, hoping to buy more things, so the group became quiet again.
That night, many people went out and the community fell into silence, but the snow was still falling madly and was getting heavier.
The wind and snow were so strong that anyone standing there would feel as if they would be blown down. When they stepped down, half of their foot would be covered in snow, making every step extremely difficult.
Under such conditions, no one would go out on weekdays, but today, except for the elderly and children, everyone went out.
No matter how strong the snow and wind are today, you might still be able to buy something if you go out. But if you go later, you won’t be able to buy anything.
Who knows when the snow will stop and when the supermarket will resume normal business.
Qin Xingyue went to sleep peacefully. When she woke up the next day, she found that the people who had gone out of the community had not returned last night. It was not until almost noon that a group of people came back.
She looked through the telescope and clearly saw that those people had black and purple faces and empty hands.
Those people entered the community and climbed in through the third-floor window. After a moment of silence, someone howled, "It's gone, everything is gone. There is nothing left in my house. What should I do next?"
Everyone who went out returned empty-handed, and everyone had a grim look on their face. No matter how good they were before, they could still buy something back, but now there is nothing left, as if hope was gone too.
“Woo woo woo!”
Suddenly, someone started crying, crying sadly and desperately. Everyone was worried about not being able to buy anything, but when they heard this person crying, they were stunned.
Someone comforted the crying woman: "Oh, don't cry, if you didn't buy it, you didn't buy it. At least everyone has something in the refrigerator. We can still hold on even if life is hard. The country will not ignore us in this situation, so don't worry too much!"
Everyone tried to comfort him, but he cried even more sadly.
Finally, after some fragmentary conversation, everyone figured out why this person was crying like that.
Her husband suddenly collapsed when he went out last night. The emergency number could not be reached, so she wanted to carry him to the hospital by herself, but she had difficulty walking. She collapsed after taking only a few steps with someone on her back. She watched her husband die with her own eyes, and she couldn't even get him back.
Even if she was able to come back by herself, she had fallen all the way there. Now she was soaked and looked extremely miserable.
After hearing her words, everyone was silent, not knowing how to comfort her.
Everyone is very panicked now. With such a strong snowstorm, it is risky to go out. However, nothing happened in the past few times, so no one took it seriously. But now someone has died again, and they are afraid, worried that they will not be able to come back if they go out.
In the current situation, no one is selling things outside, and the last supermarkets can no longer hold on and have closed. No one will take the risk to go out again.
Now, everyone can only rely on stored food and wait for the snow to stop.
With heavy hearts, everyone returned to their homes.
Qin Xingyue had not seen all of this with her own eyes; Lin Chuan had told her about it all.
Qin Xingyue remained silent. The beginning of the end of the world was destined to be the beginning of tragedy. She was powerless and could only protect herself.
The Qin family didn't call again. It wasn't that they gave up, but that she blocked their number again.
She looked at the monitor in her hand. A few days ago, Qin Yuyao's position was slowly moving towards Haishi, but today, her position did not move at all.
Could it be that she was so useless that she froze to death?
He was wondering in his heart that if the other party died like this, it would be too easy for Qin Yuyao, and it would also be a pity to waste the things he left for her.
Now, she really hopes that the other person is still alive. After all, only by being alive can she continue to suffer.
It was not until the evening that she saw the black spot on Qin Yuyao continue to move, and she felt relieved. But at this moment, the sight in front of her eyes suddenly went dark, and the lights in the living room went out. At the same time, the temperature in the room began to drop, and Qin Xingyue felt a chill.
The power is out!
Her heart skipped a beat, then she accepted it calmly, quickly put on her coat, and took out the silent generator she had bought at a high price. After a while, the circuit in the room returned to normal and the air conditioner started again.
Qin Xingyue continued to turn on the lights in the room, but the curtains were tightly closed, not letting in a single light.
Her room has been renovated so that as long as she wants, people outside will not be able to detect what is going on in her room, so she can use it with confidence without worrying about anything.
The WeChat group rang again. She lay on the bed, covered with the quilt, and looked at the messages in the group.
2809: "There is a power outage in our house. Is there something wrong with my circuit or is there a power outage for everyone?"
2708: "My house has a power outage too!"
2408: "It looks like there's a power outage. What's going on? A power outage in this weather would be fatal."
2809: "@Property, please deal with this as soon as possible. Without electricity, we can't turn on the air conditioner. We will be freezing!"
All the owners started to tag the property management, and Sister Lin from the property management replied in the group: "Don't worry, we will send someone to check the situation right away!"
People in the group started complaining again, saying it was cold.
The weather was over thirty degrees below zero and there was no heating. It was no joke. Every moment was unbearable and everyone kept urging the property management in the group.
Qin Xingyue saw that some people were posting photos of themselves at home, covered with several layers of quilts, some were doing fitness exercises, and some were hugging each other to keep warm. Everyone was trying their own ways to keep away the cold, and some were learning from their methods. The atmosphere gradually eased a little.
Until the property management issued a notice in the group: "Dear owners, the cause of the power outage has been temporarily confirmed to be external, not a problem with the wiring in our community. As far as we know, other places have also had power outages. I'm afraid it won't be repaired until tomorrow. Everyone should think of ways to keep warm tonight. The power should be repaired tomorrow!"
After this message was sent, the group was quiet for two seconds. Two seconds later, messages began to pour in, all of which were abusive.
