Chapter 54: Only Self-Saving
Jiang Yan stood by the window and watched for a while. When she saw that the number of people climbing over the wall began to decrease, she put down the telescope. She
closed the blackout curtains again, and then picked up the pad to turn on the surveillance.
She only had surveillance cameras on the 1st, 7th, 20th, 31st and 32nd floors.
She switched to the 20th and 7th floors, and the corridor was empty.
She didn't hear any quarrels or knocks on the door, but she could hear lightning and thunder coming from outside the building.
Jiang Yan frowned.
With so many people coming in from outside, it shouldn't be so quiet.
Unless they all live in the corridor.
Although this has nothing to do with her, this kind of organized and large-scale personnel sneaking in will have some impact on the overall living environment of Building A anyway.
And this impact will become more and more serious with the continued bad rainstorm and the subsequent shortage of supplies.
The key is not to understand the other party's identity and background.
It seems that it's time to take stock of my own arsenal and prioritize some handy weapons. It is better
to be prepared. As Jiang Yan was thinking, Zhou Gong came to her door. She covered her mouth with her hand and yawned a few times. After getting up, she turned on the anti-intrusion system of the house door and adjusted it to 500V high-voltage mode, and then she got into the warm and soft quilt with a tired face. * The next day. When Jiang Yan woke up naturally, it was almost eleven o'clock in the morning. It has been a long time since I have been so relaxed. Rainy days are really suitable for sleeping in. Of course, watching a drama and having a hot pot are even more suitable. There were lightning and thunder outside all night, but her house was well soundproofed and indestructible, so it did not have much impact on her sleep. She got up slowly, opened the curtains, and looked out the window. It was already noon, but it was still gloomy outside. The heavy rain was still pouring down, as if the sky had collapsed. At first glance, it looked a bit depressing. The water level has flooded to the third floor and is still trending upward. I could vaguely see a bustle of activity in the living rooms on the fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh floors of the buildings opposite. They were probably preparing to pack their luggage and move upstairs. After the abnormally high temperature last time, everyone was like a frightened bird, and their sense of crisis was extremely strong. However, in Jiang Yan's view, avoiding being flooded was only the first small crisis. The real crisis was the problem of food shortage, water shortage and medicine shortage that everyone was about to face. Most families should still have a small amount of food, part of which came from the previous mask problem, and everyone had a little bit of hoarding habits. Another reason was that the government sent supplies once before the high temperature ended. However, things like bacon and grain and oil should have deteriorated in the previous high temperature. As for water, the thing that was least lacking around at the moment was water. But looking at the various garbage floating in it, human excrement, several rotten corpses, various large and small animal corpses, dense blood mosquito corpses, and fermentation for another night. This water is simply full of five poisons. If you drink it like this, you will be disabled if you don't die. Some people also desperately put buckets and basins out of the window to collect rainwater. However, the lightning that struck from time to time in the sky was enough to make people tremble with fear. As for the lack of medicine. High temperatures, heavy rains, eating spoiled food, drinking water with impurities, etc., will cause various problems. Not to mention that some people already have some minor illnesses and pains. And compared with the high temperature period, the current situation is more difficult.
At that time, at least there was electricity and the Internet.
There were official information notifications and encouragement at any time.
Don't think that the encouragement is a bit illusory.
Many times, the reason why people can survive the darkest days is simply because they rely on a belief to support them.
Now, everyone is like returning to primitive society.
There is no water, no electricity, no Internet, and no one cares.
They feel that they have been abandoned by the authorities.
Or, in other words, abandoned by the world.
The panic continues to spread, and the despair is gradually showing signs of emerging.
Jiang Yan believes that the authorities will definitely carry out rescue.
But we have just experienced an extreme high temperature, and now there is a super heavy rain. Even if the authorities have three heads and six arms, they are already exhausted.
What's more, whether it is high temperature or heavy rain, they come unexpectedly and deteriorate rapidly.
The original emergency plans of the authorities are probably no longer applicable.
And it is obvious that with limited manpower, material resources, and resources, the authorities will definitely give priority to rescuing those areas that are severely affected, low-lying, or experiencing mudslides.
Repulse Bay is relatively sparsely populated, and there are still a few tall buildings, so it should be able to barely hold on for the time being.
It is highly likely that it is not the focus of the official attention.
Or perhaps, the people all feel that the end of the world is coming.
Can the official people feel it or not?
Perhaps the first thing they should do is to rebuild various survival bases in advance to ensure that the bases can withstand the impact of strong winds, heavy rains, ice and snow, and even other extreme natural disasters.
People will definitely be rescued at the same time.
But what they have to do their best to ensure rescue at this moment is not necessarily ordinary people, but those materials and equipment that have an important impact on mankind, and rescue scientists or talented people who are important to the future development of mankind.
However, these are all Jiang Yan's own unwarranted speculations.
What exactly is it, only the official and God know.
In short, if you want to put your hope of living simply on God's kindness to stop the rain or wait for official rescue, there is only one way to go.
Many times, you can only save yourself.
Jiang Yan realized that she was thinking too much and quickly retracted her thoughts.
As usual, she took a look at the surveillance.
No special situation was found in the several floors that could be monitored.
Most people kept their doors tightly closed.
It is estimated that people on other floors should have realized that outsiders had entered the corridor.
After all, the people downstairs would definitely encounter them when they moved upstairs.
But at this moment, less trouble is better.
As long as it does not involve personal interests, everyone will turn a blind eye.
And compared with the organized and disciplined group of people who broke in, the original residents of Building A are just a mess.
In such a situation in the past, everyone would definitely go to the property management first to solve the problem.
Now, no one knows where the property management has gone.
Even if they are here, they are just standing aside and not caring about it.
*
Unknowingly, a week has passed.
During this period, no official rescue boats have been seen.
At this moment, the water level has spread to the ninth floor.
In the corridors that can be seen by the surveillance, human figures began to move.
It is likely that their families are short of food and medicine, and they are seeking help from each other or exchanging supplies.
