Natural Disaster Apocalypse

After soaking in the water for a while, Qin Huai let Mu Nan get up, and didn't let him soak for too long. Although after what happened just now, he was frightened and lost his appetite, Qin Huai still made Mu Nan eat a bowl of cold porridge. Maybe they couldn't eat any hot food anymore, so the two of them went to bed after they were full, probably returned to a familiar place, and Mu Nan fell asleep quickly with someone who felt at ease by his side.

Qin Huai looked at him for a while, and seeing that he was sleeping soundly, he also closed his eyes.

This time, the power outage lasted for a long time, and the two of them slept until almost noon. Because there was no air-conditioning, even though there was residual air-conditioning in the house and the constant blowing air-conditioning fan, the temperature inside the house still rose as the sun shone outside. So he was woken up by the heat, and the mat on the hot bed was printed with a human shape by sweat.

Mu Nan sat up a little hot, even though there was no light in the room that was blocked, the heat seemed to seep into the room continuously.

Qin Huai got up and turned on the rechargeable light. Mu Nan rubbed his eyes and tried to wake himself up: "It's so hot."

Qin Huai said: "I'm afraid I'm going to kill a chicken later."

Mu Nan looked up at him, and Qin Huai said, "It's too difficult to raise such a living thing at this temperature."

Mu Nan felt a little regretful: "Dead?"

Qin Huai: "No, but he is dying."

Mu Nan sighed: "Yesterday, I used an air-conditioning fan for a few chickens and put ice cubes on them. Forget it, don't torment the chickens. This temperature is too difficult to raise. Let's kill them. Let's toss them." Those dishes."

Although there will be no fresh eggs to eat in the future, he bought hundreds of boxes of eggs before, and one a day is enough for the past few years.

The electricity has not yet come, the generator has been used all night, and there is not much electricity left. Fortunately, they have a lot of stock, so they took out another fully charged one. After the two of them washed up, Qin Huai carried a cage of chickens into the bathroom, skillfully bled and wiped his neck, and let Mu Nan take it into the space when he was out of breath. There was no electricity at the moment, and the temperature in the house was too hot. There is no way to boil the water to pull out the chicken feathers, so I can only let it go.

He scooped up a few spoonfuls of water and took a shower to wash away some of the hot sweat on his body and the **** smell in the bathroom. When Qin Huai came out, a gust of cold air rushed over his face. Naturally, the electricity did not come, but Mu Nan will Yesterday's swimming pool was put away, and another inflatable swimming pool without water was taken out. Several large ice cubes were placed in it, and two air-conditioning fans were blowing on the bed. Seeing him coming out, he quickly asked him: " What to eat?"

Qin Huai walked over and sat on the bed, fanned the wind and said, "It's better to eat cold porridge, it's too hot to eat anything else."

Mu Nan took out two bowls of porridge from the space, and took out a few side dishes that went with the porridge in a box, and had a fairly comfortable breakfast with the cool breeze blowing from the air conditioner. Mu Nan is used to looking at his mobile phone while eating, and sure enough, people in the group are talking about power outages. Their house is cooled by ice cubes and air-conditioning fans, and the house is still cool. Others’ house is really a stove sauna right now. Well, once the sun shines at noon, some people's houses are only separated by a layer of light-blocking cloth, not the thick and heat-insulating film cloth outside their houses, so the temperature in the house is even more unnecessary.

"I'm really going to die. Is there anyone to save me? It's so hot!"

"When will the call come? I don't care about the explosion. I have to turn on the air conditioner during the day!"

"When will that cold supply point open? I really can't take it anymore. I want to live in it even if I lose my fortune. What's the use of saving money and dying? I won't come out after I live in it!"

"Who can give me two bottles of water? I bought it at a high price, and I could fetch water today. If the electricity doesn't come on, how can I fetch water if I can't even go downstairs?"

"Isn't it possible to use elevator power generation?"

"The elevator was powered on for a while yesterday, and it was turned off in the middle of the night. The oil is so expensive now, how can we consume the generator to generate electricity all the time, when can we build a solar energy in our community? Don't say anything else, keep the elevator running. It’s okay to run smoothly.”

Some people asked for help in the group, saying that their old man was dying, and some people kept visiting the Aite community to ask the community to provide power for the elevators.

The community is already too busy. Let alone walking outside in broad daylight, even hiding under shady buildings can cause people to get dizzy from the heat. They are also human, so they can't go out at this time, except try to comfort them in the group , there is no other way, after all, I am also a drag on the family, if it weren't for the fact that the government can still provide three meals a week, and distribute supplies to support the family once a week, it is such a time, who would want to do this almost I have to contact the dead every day, and I try my best to plan for others, but I am still blamed and complained that I can't get a good job.

However, the topic in the group was quickly interrupted by yesterday's elevator incident. They don't know what happened to those people who were locked in the elevator in other buildings yesterday. Although they are in the same community, the spread of information is not so fast, but In this building, five of them were sent to the hospital yesterday. After Qin Huai and Mu Nan went upstairs, there were a few who didn't react right afterward. Some were lucky enough to be sent to the hospital in time and hanged themselves. After a bottle of water, I recovered, but if I had one, it was not good enough. I had convulsions on the way to the hospital. When I got to the hospital, there was no room for people in the emergency room. There were too many people, and there were only a few doctors for rescue. , couldn't even turn the shaft, and finally the man died in the hospital.

Yesterday, two of them died when they got out of the elevator in this building. One was a very thin young man, not very old, less than 30 years old, and he suffered from convulsions on the way to the hospital. The old man, Zhang Jianwen.

Mu Nan was stunned when he saw the news: "Grandpa Zhang next door died."

Qin Huai was also taken aback: "Dead? Didn't he be rescued?"

Mu Nan shook his head: "That's what the group said." The people from the Zhang family probably haven't come back yet, so they didn't hear any movement outside.

Yesterday, there was a very smart person who thought that there was a power outage here. If there was no call during the day, it would be too hot to stay at home, so he actively helped the community to send people who were so hot that they were dying to the hospital, and then stayed with them in the hospital He won’t come back, but he didn’t care until he entered the hospital. The hospital is very strict now. In such an important place, the power supply must never be cut off. It is strictly stipulated that a patient can only be accompanied by one family member.

So that person accompanied the very thin man to the hospital, and then helped other people in their community to run back and forth, lending a hand whenever he could, so he was the first to know who was not rescued. Well, this person is still in the hospital, and if there is any news, he will send it to the group. But when Zhang Jianwen was mentioned, the man couldn't help but sneer.

Some people don't understand why, this person guesses that there is nothing wrong at the moment, so he complains to the group about some things he heard.

There were seven people locked in the elevator on their side yesterday, the Zhang family of four, a mother and child, and the young man. The elevator was closed for so long, stuffy, hot and suffocating. The first one who couldn’t bear it was the middle-aged woman, but she took her son out to deliver water to the old mother who lived in the same community but in different buildings. Yes, he was trapped in the elevator when he came back, and there was nothing that could be used for first aid. Seeing that he was so bored, his son naturally asked others for help, asking if they had water, and he was willing to pay for it with any amount of money. , begging them to give his mother a bottle.

The thin young man had nothing on him, and it seemed that there was no water, but the members of the Zhang family were carrying bags. Although they didn't know if there was water, but they were the only ones carrying bags at the time, the boy naturally begged on their heads , almost kowtowed to them on his knees. But the old man in the Zhang family only said that there was no water, and they only had some clothes in their bags.

I don't know if it's the fear of being taken advantage of, or some incomprehensible brain circuit. After being locked in for nearly an hour, the people in the Zhang family were also extremely hot and stuffy, but they didn't drink a sip of water. Standing upright.

As a result, except for Zhang Jianwen's wife who twisted his feet, it was inconvenient for them to go out. The four of them went out to collect supplies that night. The middle-aged woman was sent to the hospital at the first time, and was rescued later. After the old man of the Zhang family fell to the ground, the car just got out, and it took more than ten or twenty minutes for the car to return. When it was sent to the hospital, Everyone is dead.

That Zhang Jianwen probably feels that his body is very strong. He is healthy and pain-free on weekdays. He feels that he is stronger than some young people, so he can bear it, but he doesn't want his body to be strong. He is also in his seventies. , In the end, because he refused to take out the water, he took his own life.

Mu Nan was dumbfounded by the twists and turns in this process, and was very puzzled: "What on earth is this Grandpa Zhang thinking? Just because he didn't want to give the water to others, he refused to drink it himself, and he was bored for almost an hour. , Isn't his most precious grandson also bored in it, it's too unbelievable to lose his life because of the water."

Qin Huai said: "When some people get old, their thinking will change somewhat. This is the inevitable result of brain aging, so many young people can't understand the thinking of some old people. They feel that they are unreasonable and stubborn. In fact, it is only because they They are old and their brains have degenerated, so it is really hard for others to understand what they think. Like Zhang Jianwen, he is used to saying the same thing on weekdays. No matter how unreasonable his behavior is, his children and grandchildren dare not refute it. His usual strength and stubbornness are the main cause of this tragedy."

Mu Nan sighed softly, it's not worth it to lose his life in this typical way of harming others and benefiting oneself.

Thinking of the information he saw in the group before, Mu Nan asked, "Is Grandma Zhang alone at home now?"

Qin Huai glanced at Mu Nan: "It should be, what's wrong?"

Mu Nan: "Then, do you want to take a look?"

He thinks that Grandma Zhang is the same age as their grandma. Now that the electricity is out, the house is so hot that something might happen to an old man in the house. After all, they live on the same floor, and everyone has no big grudges. Yes, if there is really something good or bad, their family members are back, maybe because of this they will blame them and cause trouble instead. But if I manage it, I am afraid that others will think that they are young and soft-hearted, and they will rely on them for anything in the future. After all, as far as the brief contact with Jian Chu last time when they fought, he doesn't like the Zhang family very much. Say they are all bad guys, but they are all too selfish.

Qin Huai didn't want to care about them, not to mention the people in the Zhang family, he was already very disgusted, this dislike accumulated since childhood, but he didn't mind being a good person for Mu Nan. But before they could act, Xu Ming, who lived next to the Zhang family, went to see it first. He probably learned about the Zhang family from the group, thinking that an old man was at home. Although something really happened, they It can't help much, but it is still possible to give some ice water at home, but it is not appreciated.

Because the three families over there lived relatively close together, they could hear any movement from each other, and Jian Chu and the others lived in the living room, so when they heard Xu Ming knock on the door of Zhang's house, they opened the door curiously. He opened the door and took a look: "What's wrong?"

Xu Ming looked at Jian Chu who was holding a mobile phone for lighting: "Didn't you watch the group?"

Shaking his head: "Not yet."

Xu Ming said: "Look at the group, I'll see how the old man in their family is doing."

Jian Chu closed the door with a yell. Although there was not much air-conditioning in the house, it was still several degrees lower than the outside, so the hot air would come in after the door was opened for a long time. Back in the house, I groped and climbed onto the bed in the darkness, and then I found out the WeChat group, I saw that the chat was 99+, so I climbed the stairs and turned slowly. When he saw the news about the elevator, he said, "That old man Zhang is dead!"

Yu Zibai, who was half asleep and half awake, froze for a moment, rubbed his eyes, and said in a hoarse voice, "Who?"

Jian Chu almost slammed his phone screen on his face: "The old Zhang family next door was locked in the elevator last night. As a result, his family brought a backpack of water, but because they didn't want to give it to others to drink, they also endured it." If you don’t drink, you will be bored for almost an hour, and then you will be cold, I will go, selfish enough to take my life, this is the first time I have seen this kind of death.”

Yu Zibai flicked him on the forehead: "The person is gone, so don't say such things, what's going on next door now?"

Jian Chu: "The old lady of the Zhang family didn't go out yesterday because she sprained her ankle. Now she is alone in the house. Dr. Xu probably saw that he was old, and now the electricity was cut off. He was afraid that the old man would not be able to bear it, so he went to see the situation. .”

Before Jian Chu finished speaking, he heard an angry cursing voice from the next door: "What are you doing! You can't let me sleep in broad daylight! Knock what, it's so noisy, roll away!"

Jian Chu was stunned: "What's the situation, it's so fierce."

Yu Zibo heard that there was no movement outside, and then heard the sound of the door closing, probably Dr. Xu had gone back, and then said: "It is estimated that the old woman is at home alone, knowing that it is not safe now, she thinks that others want to treat her alone. What did their family do to drive people away fiercely."

As Yu Zibai guessed, Grandma Zhang breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that there was no knock on the door. Her wife and grandson couldn’t come back because of a power outage, and she was the only one at home. What should I do if I have snatched away all my belongings? I turned on the phone, and with dazed eyes, dialed the first number recorded in the phone book with a vague outline, but no one answered it. It was broad daylight. I don't know where they are hiding from the sun, whether it is safe or not.

Jian Chu poked and poked Dr. Aite Xu in the small group on their floor and asked if he had been raped by Lu Dongbin. Dr. Xu just sent a helpless shrug emoticon, and Mu Nan sent a question mark. He hurriedly explained what happened just now, and then concluded: "In the future, we can stay as far away from this Zhang family as possible. This kind of person can't be provoked."

Mu Nan clicked his tongue: "Sure enough, I can't provoke you, so let's avoid it in the future."

Qin Huai patted his side, let Mu Nan lean over, then fiddled with the computer for a while, and played him a doomsday disaster movie, Mu Nan said as soon as he saw the title, "I've seen this one."

Qin Huai said: "Then read it again."

Putting Mu Nan on the bed to watch a movie, he got up to check the vegetables in the house and next door. The temperature was too stuffy, and those vegetables were sloppy. Qin Huai knelt down and fiddled with them twice. Before the air conditioner was on, these dishes could still be raised, but now that the power is off, it’s only been one night, and the dishes are already too bad to look at. They are all like this indoors, and the farmland outside is probably dry and cracked after being exposed to the sun for a long time.

Halfway through Mu Nan's movie, he saw Qin Huai's bare upper body and sweaty carrying a bag of muddy vegetable seedlings. When the sweat flowed down the lines of his abdominal muscles, Mu Nan felt a twitch in his head. Dizzy, before he could think about why he was dizzy when he saw Qin Huai sweating, his attention was instantly diverted by the things Qin Huai was holding, and he said with a bitter face: "No, the vegetables are also dead? "

Qin Huai: "The high temperature of more than 50 degrees is really embarrassing for them."

Mu Nan sighed and lay back on the bed: "Another way of life has been cut off."

Qin Huai said with a smile: "Didn't you buy a lot of seeds? You can store these soils in the space later. We will see if we stay here or change places. Let's talk about it later. You collect these seedlings first." , when the time comes, wash it, and you can still eat it after stir-frying.”

Mu Nan got up from the bed and put a small sack directly into the space. Only then did Qin Huai go into the bathroom and take a shower to wash away the smell of sweat on his body. As soon as he came out, Mu Nan handed him a box of ice cream. Qin Huai sat by the bed, took two bites and then gave it back to him. He doesn't like to eat this kind of sweet and greasy food, even if he eats ice cream, he prefers to eat popsicles with a refreshing taste.

Of course Mu Nan knew that Qin Huai didn't like to eat this kind of creamy ice cream, but he loved it. If Qin Huai couldn't eat it in two bites like this, he could eat up the whole box.

It's a pity that before he took action, Qin Huai predicted his plan: "I can only eat half."

Mu Nan fell to the side, turned sideways, put the ice cream on the mat, supported his head with one hand and looked at the computer, scooped the ice cream with the other and ate it bit by bit, without responding.

Qin Huai turned his head to look at him, smiled, and leaned on the bed to scan his phone. After Mu Nan finished watching the movie, Qin Huai said, "After watching the movie."

Mu Nan lay on his back on the bed, looked sideways at Qin Huai next to him, and thought for a while: "The protagonist's halo is not dead?"

Qin Huai raised his hand and nodded on his forehead: "Eighty percent of the accidents come from acquaintances. If you look at the protagonist in this movie, he was framed by acquaintances several times in distress."

Only then did Mu Nan know Qin Huai's intention for letting him watch the movie: "Just tell me no, let me watch the movie again."

Qin Huai said with a smile: "I said that you may not be able to remember, I know you think that the other party is about the same age as our grandma, and they are old neighbors who have known each other before. If it is a complete stranger, you probably won't I was debating whether to go and have a look, but many things often happened to people I knew."

Mu Nan said: "I know, I don't soften my heart so easily." The essential reason why he was hesitating whether to go and see, to put it bluntly, was that he was worried that something would happen to the old man at home, and her family turned their resentment towards them, thinking that Living on the first floor together, he saw many such situations in his last life, and he thought that even if they were to go to the government's refuge base in the future, they would still have to live here for a while. How troublesome it would be to offend a family who hated them behind their backs.

Qin Huai pinched him lightly on the face: "It's best! But since you discussed it with me and didn't take any direct action, it's worth rewarding you with a stewed shrimp today."

Although it was very hot, Mu Nan's appetite was whetted by the words braised shrimp in an instant. The bowl of porridge he poured just now took almost a movie to digest, so Qin Huai quickly pushed away the computer and ran Go to the small round table and take out food from the space. The braised shrimp he brought out was the one that Qin Huai cooked before. It was his favorite flavor, and it was even better than the ones made outside. When Qin Huai cooked it last time, he didn't even give him a few.

Qin Huai saw that he was going to do a big job, so he couldn't help but said: "Eat less, you will have nothing after eating, so you can save some for the future." If he doesn't stop him, he can finish a big pot in one go without even thinking about it. My stomach can't stand it.

Mu Nan thought about it, so he took a clean lunch box and grabbed a little out of the big pot. Seeing that there were few, he stretched out his hand to grab a few more, and then put the pot back into the space : "Eat less at a time, brother, do you think that if people can adapt to this extreme environment in the future, can our life return to the way it was before?"

Qin Huai said: "It will definitely be possible. Look at the period of rapid development throughout the ages, which was not accompanied by various natural disasters and man-made disasters. As long as human beings can survive it, it will be a break and then rebuild, so we have to live well until the order is restored. Time to see the new world that was broken and then built."
