I survived with my sister in the doomsday
Chapter 82 Get ready to lie down
It is now close to mid-October, and the weather is still very hot. The temperature is hot and there is no precipitation. The water level in the river keeps dropping. Ordinary civilians also go from two hours of water supply a day to one hour a day, then every other day, and finally once a week! The people are going crazy. Some people complained to the government, and the reply they got was that in order for every household to not have no food to eat next year, the remaining water in the river and reservoir must be urgently diverted to the fields and the Daxing base. What can we do in this year when we encounter an earthquake and a severe drought? I hope the citizens will understand and support. If anyone takes the opportunity to cause trouble, they will be detained and fined directly, and will never let them off easily!
Recently, the plastic basins and buckets that were originally unsaleable in our supermarket have been sold out, and every household has to use containers to store water.
Each of our two large flat houses has two large bathrooms. Xiaobai blocked the toilet, sink and even the door of his own bathroom and hired workers to waterproof the whole room. This room became a common water reservoir for our two families. It is more convenient for fewer people to live in a large house. The water reservoir can be connected to our house through a water pipe. Since we have the anti-theft steel door that blocks the elevator and the anti-theft steel door that blocks the garage here, our two families can become joint households without closing the front door. As long as we lock the two doors, both of our families are very safe.
The water stored in Xiaobai's house is enough for our two families to use. As for drinking water, I have large barrels of mineral water or purified water in my space, each barrel is 20 liters, and I can take out a lot every day, which is enough for us to eat, cook and drink.
I also have a beverage freezer in my space. The two large double-door refrigerators in their house and ours are filled with drinks.
Starting from late October, the water company announced that it would stop supplying domestic water to ordinary residents, one reason being that there was no water, and the other being that there was no electricity. Upon receiving the notice, citizens could only queue up at several water supply points specially opened by the government to get water and then carry the water home by physical strength. The elevators in the buildings had been out of service due to lack of electricity, and citizens living on high floors were even more miserable, but there was no way around it as the environment was like this and everyone had to live like this.
The water at the water supply point is drinking water that is pumped up every day from a well sunk one thousand meters underground by government investment. Although it is filtered, the impurities still exceed the standard, resulting in less and less clean water at home.
But this has nothing to do with us. The work for the three of us is quite leisurely, but the oil price has soared, and the water price has also soared. The consequence is that it is difficult to drive back and forth in a box truck. If the truck has a trunk or not, others can tell at a glance that it is not going to purchase goods, so it is ineffective. So we will not go out for the time being and two people will just watch the store every day. The price of purified water has risen, and other people's prices are ridiculously high. They are marked as fifty-one bottles, and it has become a luxury that ordinary families cannot afford. I really don't want to cheat people or make money from the national disaster. Besides, the things in the space grew out of nowhere. I would feel bad if I sold them at a very high price, because some people want to use this clean water to make milk powder for their babies. Despite Lin Lin's objection, I only sold it for fifteen yuan a bottle.
I sold my mineral water too cheaply, which caused jealousy from other shop owners nearby. They bought it at a higher price than I sold it at, and they couldn't tolerate this, so they planned a deliberate revenge against my supermarket!
Today, Xiaobai and I came to the supermarket for business. As soon as the supermarket opened, a group of people swarmed in. My mineral water was piled in boxes in the central area near the door. The leaders purposefully snatched the mineral water and cigarettes in my store, and shouted that everyone couldn't survive, so grab them! Under their leadership, other civilians also joined the ranks of crazy looting. Everyone rushed in like a flood and beasts. The least they took was a box of water, and some even took three boxes at a time. Because everyone knew that there was no camera surveillance now, the evil side of human nature broke out, and even the honest people usually came up to take advantage of the fire and robbed my supermarket.
Xiaobai and I wanted to intercept them but we were outnumbered. I was afraid that Xiaobai would get hurt, so I pulled him away from the rushing crowd. We both suffered minor injuries and watched as the things in the supermarket were taken away by these mobs.
Xiao Bai was furious and went to the police station to report the incident. The police did come and asked us who robbed us. We replied that it was probably a group of people, but we didn’t know who they were! After recording the incident, the police told us calmly that there was no surveillance equipment, so how could we arrest people? Besides, the law does not punish the masses... He meant that we should just blame ourselves for our bad luck.
I was immediately disappointed, and Xiaobai invited me to his rooftop to drink that night. Of course, the wine was also beer, drinks and liquor I took out from the space. I had nurtured the appetites of my two sons, and the only liquor they drank was Wuliangye and Xifeng Liquor, which sold for around 500 before the disaster.
In order to make us happy, Lin Lin went out and bought a slaughtered sheep. She called the whole family to Xiaobai's rooftop to prepare to eat roasted whole lamb. She started to grill the lamb with charcoal. Xiaobai had a lot of beef, chicken legs and other things in his refrigerator. Xiaobai acted like a waiter and took them out one by one and asked Lin Lin to grill them for everyone.
In the evening, Lin Lin called Feicui in advance to tell her that there was a barbecue party at home, and asked her to bring Duanmu Hong and Yuanyuan to our house to play. Recently, Duanmu Hong and Yuanyuan have occasionally come to our house as guests. Through our family, they got to know Lin Lin and Xiaobai, two older brothers, and they get along well. I feel as if everyone who has been rescued by grandpa will have a very special feeling for him, which is hard to describe. They are very polite and obedient to grandpa when they see him.
Grandpa has a good impression of Duanmu Hong. Duanmu Hong is about the same age as Feicui Yuanyuan this year, only 19 years old. In our eyes, he is still a child. Recently, he has lost his temper when Feicui ordered him around. Every time he comes to our house, he brings gifts. You can’t say that children from wealthy families are still very decent in their behavior and appearance.
Everyone gathered together and started chatting, mostly about school matters.
Soon the aroma of barbecue wafted out, and Xiaotian, who was so greedy, ran straight from our house, drooling and wagging his tail to please his little master Zhenzhu, hoping to get a piece of meat. Zhenzhu really spoiled her dog and tore off a big piece of chicken leg to feed it. After Xiaotian finished eating, he ran to his grandfather's feet and did the same thing to get another piece of roasted beef. This guy ate so much that his belly was full.
Fortunately, we live on the top floor and the fragrance just floated upwards without affecting the neighbors, but it seems that there are no residents on the floor below my house.
Duanmu Hong saw me drinking alone and came over to ask: Brother Huo, what’s wrong with you today?
I said that I only wanted to help others, but why was my kindness trampled upon like this?
Lin Lin on the side advised that human hearts are unpredictable. You look like a child from a good family who has not experienced the harsh beatings of society, but you are still sad about such a small thing. I have seen a lot of dirty people since I was a child, and there are also good people, but not many.
After listening to our conversation for a while, Duanmu Hong said: Big brother Huo, although you and Feicui are siblings, you have completely different personalities. Feicui never helps others. She sees our group bullying the poor sometimes, and I thought that with her personality she would protect those poor little ones, but she didn't care at all, until they were forced to drop out of school.
After hearing what he said, I held the bottle and found Feicui's face. Curiously, I asked her: Is Feicui really like this? You are not the kind of person who would stand up to injustice?
Feicui also took a sip of wine and replied to me with disdain: I think there must be something hateful about pitiful people, why should I help them? Brother, in this terrible world, put aside the desire to help others and respect the fate of others! Then she rolled her eyes at me and muttered: You are not a savior, do you really think you are God?
I sigh——
Lin Lin came over and agreed, saying that my boss was right, you are not a savior, why do you care whether they drink the expensive water or not? It’s enough as long as we have something to drink.
Finally, Lin Lin and Xiao Bai and I had a discussion. We have enough money and food now. If we keep dealing in supplies like this in this chaotic world, it will easily attract other people's attention and jealousy, and we will become a sitting duck.
Xiaobai didn't want to do anything in the first place. He just wanted to lie down and wait for his sister to come back. He suggested that they just lie down.
