Chapter 507 The power outage



There is actually no way to avoid scheduled power supply. This is a decision made in consideration of various power instabilities, or the need to be careful in the future. Otherwise, a power outage is actually the best option at this stage. Fortunately, the weather is not really too cold now, and various solar power stations are still in operation. Of course, there is actually no shortage of electricity at this stage. The main thing is that we are afraid that everyone will get used to the current life and will not be used to it in the future. Otherwise, there are various types of power stations nearby, which can actually be of some use.

However, if everyone develops this habit now, it will be much easier to implement many rules later. After all, energy is not as convenient as before, and everyone will definitely need more time to adapt.

"Are all the residential complexes experiencing power restrictions? What's going on in our complex? It's already dark, and the power's still off. I'm planning to go downstairs for a walk. My kids can't stay home, but the elevator's out of power, and we can't walk down from the 20th floor. It's too difficult."

"We're worried too. We might overstay our welcome and then not have enough electricity to return. We'd have to climb 20 or 30 floors of stairs, which would be really dangerous."

"Now I understand the pain of buying an apartment. Let alone buying an apartment for 20 or 30 years, even living on the sixth floor with stairs is a bit crazy. This is really too much. How can we bear this?"

"Just a reminder to everyone, if there's a power outage, there's a water outage, so if you need water, hurry up and get it. If you have to carry water up to the 6th, 16th, or 26th floors, you can just give it up."

A normal person can't even climb up, let alone carry water. It's too difficult.

"I've already connected water everywhere I can, but I don't know how long it will last. Now I live on a high floor. I should have bought a lower floor when I bought this place. This is really depressing!"

"It's not a big problem. The lower floors aren't very safe either. Think about it. If things get really chaotic, everyone will go to the lower floors to look for supplies because it's impossible for everyone to climb upstairs. That would be too difficult."

"Yeah, by the time we get to the upper floors, our sweat has frozen. After all, no one knows how long the heating will last here. It's June, and everyone's already wearing cotton-padded jackets and shivering at home. Can't they just turn up the temperature a bit? There's definitely still enough energy."

"I forgot that a power outage would also cut off the water supply. I'm just starting to get water now. Luckily, my floor is low, so I haven't been affected too much for now. But the water supply is indeed much less. I plan to take a good bath today, and then I'll be fine for the next ten days or half a month. Water resources will be scarce in the future, so I must reduce the frequency of bathing and save water wherever possible."

"I use all the containers I can to collect water, hoping to extend our usage time. Going up and down the stairs to collect water is too time-consuming. The time to boil water is limited every day, so if the water pressure is a little low, it will be very troublesome."

"Yes, it's obviously normal. When there's water, the lower floors like the first and second floors can get water much faster. Here on the higher floors, the water is very limited. Others get a bucket of water, while we only get a basin. If you calculate the time, it feels a bit uneconomical, but there's nothing you can do now. If you want to buy a house on the lower floors, you can't buy one right now."

"All the empty houses will be reclaimed and people from outside will be allowed to live here first, because it's dangerous outside. Any help is appreciated at a time like this, and we can't refuse. After all, it's still the heating season. I just hope they can raise the temperature a bit, but I've made many calls, and they've all refused. They don't mean to raise the temperature. They just hope everyone can understand. We don't know how to raise the temperature a bit, and there's really no other way. If we're asked to burn fuel ourselves, I feel a little reluctant. As you know, these things are still quite expensive."

"These things are simply unavailable right now. It's okay if you already have some at home. Those living in the mountains might be able to make do these few days while the weather isn't too cold, so hurry up and stock up on fuel. But what can those living in the city do? They don't have enough heating power, and they're running low on fuel. So what can they do?"

"We live in the city, but we have always stored some fuel. This time, we heard some news, so we stored some more since we have our own yard. It is indeed usable, but as everyone said, these things will be used up as time goes by. In the future, when the weather gets colder, we will definitely not be able to chop firewood, so we can't use it at all. We are reluctant to use it now. We will use it when the situation gets worse. We will try not to use it unless it is absolutely necessary."

"Anyway, the current situation is that you have energy but don't know how to use it, and you don't have energy but don't know how to use it. Either you have nothing to use, or you simply can't bear to use it. Regardless of the situation, it feels a bit complicated right now."

Everyone is very distressed about this, but the current situation is that it is getting colder day by day. In a day or two, people will not be able to go out. So in the current situation, except for some special jobs, most people cannot leave their homes even if they want to. The whole world has come to a standstill, because some places are really too cold. On the contrary, those who live near the Arctic Circle are better off. As far as their lives are concerned, there is not much impact. Isn’t this a kind of luck?
