"I had a lot of supplies at home, so I chose to stay home. But I didn't expect that we would have no electricity or gas, and now I can't cook."
"My family would occasionally go out for a barbecue, so we had some basic supplies at home. We could cook a few meals, but it wouldn't last long-term. I wonder if even the water would be cut off in a few days."
"That means your power hasn't been cut off yet, but ours has, and there's no water either."
"These high-rise buildings are really frustrating. When the power goes out, the water goes out. Our community was designated as a resettlement site, and since there are only a few people living there, we still have water, electricity, and gas."
"Then you are really lucky. You can still stay at home. You don't lack many things now. You must be the most comfortable at home."
"Will you be asked to open your home to accommodate other people? If that's the case, I don't think it's acceptable."
"Not yet, but I don't know what will happen in the future. However, because the vacancy rate here is very high, there are only a few people who have moved in. Now most people have been arranged to live elsewhere, but the buildings here are all delivered with fine decoration, so it doesn't matter if they move in for the time being. However, most people's gas is still not turned on."
"So the others don't have the skills to cook, right? That condition isn't met either. That's roughly how it should be understood, right?"
"That's exactly what I mean."
"But you can stay at home, which is better than many people. So, are you going to pick up the supplies yourself, or will they be distributed together? What will you eat? Will there be a centralized supply?"
"They are being distributed, but you have to pick them up yourself. We're on a high floor here, and there's still some electricity, but it's intermittent, so going up and down the stairs is very inconvenient."
"Is the supply food or supplies?"
"There are supplies and food for you to choose from. We have food at home, so we're receiving the supplies now. At a time like this, don't be too picky about what you eat. It's just a matter of whether it suits your taste. I think it's pretty good. It may also be because I'm at home and I don't have any complaints about the environment. I think as long as it's safe, it's fine. The rain outside is really scary now. We should quickly get those on the lower floors up. I see they've been working on some simple boats lately. I guess they'll have to use boats for transportation later. The buses that brought people in last night now only have their roofs exposed. It's a scary sight."
"Looking down from the roof, I see a vast expanse of land below. The sheds that originally housed bicycles and electric bikes are now only covered by their roofs. I wonder if this scene will continue. If the water level gets any higher, then the power in our buildings will probably be cut off..."
"It feels unsafe outside right now. You don't even know how widespread the leakage is. It's pretty scary. I don't know what to do next."
"I'm kind of regretting it now. I stayed home and didn't go out because I didn't think it would get that bad. Then I woke up and saw it was this high outside. It's almost halfway up the second floor. I don't know if it's because we're in a low-lying area or what, but I never paid much attention to this before. Now I'm really scared. I live on the sixth floor. Do you think I can find a place to stay if I go out now? The resettlement center seems not too far from here."
"It's the security center, but it's probably a bit far from where you are. Don't run around right now. It's probably not that easy. Plus, it's raining heavily outside. Don't be fooled by the seemingly normal water below. It's actually very turbulent, and there are a lot of things that can easily hit people. You might get knocked unconscious if you go in, so be careful. I think there's no harm in being careful. It's better not to go out. Wait a little longer. Maybe things will change later."
"What else could happen? The water's definitely going to get deeper. I'm super scared right now. I don't know where this is going to go. My mind's a little foggy... I think I have to get out now. This is an old house, and I'm on the sixth floor. I feel like there's something exploding down there. I don't know why this is happening on a rainy day. What should I do next? Can anyone help me?"
"I've contacted many people, but there's been no response. Now I don't know where to turn for help. Could you please forward this information to me?"
"It's no use asking for help now. Everyone thinks it's dangerous out there. They won't throw their lives away just because of you. Besides, we warned you yesterday. And this time the world is different. It's different from the previous rescues. Don't think that if you stay at home and need help, someone will come to you. Don't even think about it. There's no other way now except to save yourself."
"Is the seriousness you say above true or not? I think this is a bit exaggerated. It's impossible that they would just stand by and watch someone die without helping."
"You're overthinking it right now. This is the end of the world, and communications everywhere will be cut off. The reason we can still chat here is because most places still have intact infrastructure. Believe it or not, in places with less developed industries, all connections have been lost. So everyone, cherish this opportunity. You can still complain and ask for help now, but when the time comes, you'll have no other options except saving yourself or asking for help."
