Chapter 35 Uninvited Guests
Jiang Yan turned on the soft and soothing blues music, poured herself a small glass of red wine, and then began to slowly taste the food.
After dinner, she threw the plate into the fully automatic dishwasher.
It was still early before the power outage, so Jiang Yan turned on the TV as usual to listen to the news and opened the game.
Usually the server would show that it was full of kings, but today it was all idle.
It took her a long time to match.
Several teammates were like cheats, and they helped her push the opponent's high ground in a few moves.
Jiang Yan couldn't help but suspect that the people who ranked with her today were all robots.
After all, in the high temperature of 60 degrees, there was no air conditioning at home. After opening the game for a few seconds, the back of the phone was so hot that you could fry an egg.
After the last few consecutive defeats, it would be too easy to win tonight, and get MVP every time.
Jiang Yan had a lot of fun playing.
Sometimes, this robot is indeed much better than some of the teammates who are bad.
At ten o'clock, with a "t", the whole city fell into darkness.
Even the solar lights installed outdoors were all extinguished.
Soon, various curses were heard in the community.
Some people stood on the edge of the balcony with iron basins and knocked them "clang clang clang".
Some homes had some scattered lights, which were all mobile phones, laptops or flashlights.
Of course, some people prepared the traditional red candles.
But at this temperature, the candles are so hot that they are almost melted.
They have to be placed in a special container.
The electricity was cut off on time, and the water and gas will probably last for a while.
However, the water on the upper floors was almost gone at the same time.
In the middle and lower floors, some people continued to work under the dim lights.
Endless darkness accompanied by the continuous rise in temperature, people's panic gradually began to spread.
Fortunately, the wireless network signal is gone, but the mobile phone signal is still there.
The main reason is that the tower base station is equipped with batteries, and compressor forced cooling air conditioners are used. The cabinets are also covered with insulation film and painted with insulation paint, so it can still last for a while.
If there is still no power in the future, once the battery is exhausted, the mobile phone signal will be completely cut off.
The information in the owner group soared to 999+ in a few seconds.
Some people who lack common sense questioned why the property management did not activate the backup power supply.
A few asked who had medicine or alcohol stoves.
There were also some young people with a very optimistic mentality chatting inside.
After Jiang Yan confirmed that the backup power supply of the room's anti-intrusion system was normal, she went directly into the space.
After the luxurious and comfortable Apple cabin was put into the space in the afternoon, it had already met the living function.
The whole city will have a power outage tonight. She did have a generator, and the air conditioner in the room could be used normally.
But this is only the first night, so it is better to be low-key and cautious.
At about twelve o'clock, the property management staff responded in the owner group.
They said that the backup generator would not be activated on the residents' floors.
The main reason is that the temperature is too high now, and the power outage is actually to protect the line.
The property management also released a message at the same time, saying that it received an official notice today that the high temperature will continue for at least ten days, and the temperature will only get higher.
Therefore, the underground parking lot will be temporarily activated as a place to prevent heatstroke and cool down, and the generator will be used here.
The temperature in the underground parking lot is actually not low, but it is obviously much better than on the floor.
The cars inside must all be moved out after 8 a.m. tomorrow, when the giant blood mosquitoes "finish work" and go back to rest.
In addition, the property management also issued a notice that all air-raid shelters and civil air defense sites in Anming City will be opened tomorrow.
These sites have spare food and water.
Some air-raid shelters are built on the mountainside and underground, and the temperature is much lower than the outside temperature without air conditioning.
However, due to limited official resources and manpower and material resources, people need to go there by themselves, and those who go there need to report to the property management.
Some official media on the Internet have also released news about the opening of the air-raid shelter.
It's just that there is one more item that needs to be reported in advance.
After all, if you don't report in advance, you may be afraid that there will be crowds of people and you can't arrange it later.
Although it was late, many people still had trouble sleeping because of the heat.
The group soon quarreled.
The people in the property management became the target of public criticism.
However, Jiang Yan didn't know what happened in the owner group.
The space is sunny all day long, and her Apple cabins are all equipped with blackout curtains.
A smart home system is also installed.
After lighting a soothing agarwood to help sleep and setting the opening time of the curtains, Jiang Yan went straight into the comfortable bed.
The outside world is as hot as a steamer.
She is neither cold nor hot here, and the temperature and humidity are not perfect.
In addition, after more than two months of running around and drinking some red wine, the whole person is in a strange state of excitement, relaxation, and tipsy.
Soon she fell asleep.
*
The next day.
At 7:30, the blackout curtains slowly opened.
The sunlight from the window poured in, dotted with stars, cozy and romantic.
Jiang Yan stretched lazily on the bed for a few times, and then slowly got up.
The world outside was experiencing a turbulent time, and the temperature had reached 60 degrees.
And her current life in the space was simply too peaceful. She
suddenly thought that it would be nice to plant a bunch of beautiful flowers and plants on the black land.
Among the seedlings that she had stockpiled before, there were some roses, gardenias and the like. She thought that since they were empty these two days, she would plant them all.
In addition, it always felt that the surroundings were too quiet.
I don’t know if I can raise small animals in the space, such as a nice and easy-to-raise yellow peach parrot.
Regarding this, she has never tried it.
After her parents left one after another, she was actually a little shadowed in her heart, and even her heart was much colder than ordinary people.
And the lifespan of pets is generally shorter than that of humans.
She was actually afraid that she would have to say goodbye to her pet after she had just established a relationship with it.
But these were all later matters, not her current focus.
*
After washing up, Jiang Yan fried herself a fragrant scallion pancake and ground a cup of coffee.
After adding fresh milk and sugar, she took a sip and felt that something was missing.
With a thought, she took out a bottle of 52-degree Feitian from the warehouse, unscrewed the lid, and dripped a few drops into it.
A cup of homemade sauce-flavored latte was freshly baked.
This was her first time drinking so early in the morning.
Fortunately, the alcohol content in it was actually almost zero.
She planned to stay in the space all day today, doing fitness and learning shooting in the morning, and learning to drive an excavator and a yacht in the afternoon.
If she had time, she would also learn some gardening.
But before that, she planned to open the surveillance and the owner group to understand the situation outside.
What a coincidence.
As soon as she opened the surveillance at the door, she saw a middle-aged man who looked very greasy walking towards her door.
At the same time, the anti-intrusion system of the smart home on the phone also beeped.
