I just want to die of old age

She lifted up two quilts and patted her frozen cheeks, which felt a stinging pain.

Su Yuzhu wanted to drink a cup of hot water quickly, but the surface of the kettle was hard and cold to the touch. She took a sip of water but didn't feel any warmth.

Even the water in the kettle was frozen cold.

Su Yuzhu could only boil another pot of hot water. She took out a backup power supply and boiled the kettle to restore power.

The heating in the house started running again.

She took a sip of hot water, and her frozen body gradually recovered.

Other owners were not so lucky.

The owners of the entire community fell into panic. The sudden power outage made the temperature in the whole room frighteningly cold. Everyone shivered and huddled together.

Moreover, many people froze to death in their sleep.

On days without electricity, the owners' frozen hands kept sending voice messages and hysterically @ed the community property in the group.

"Why is there no electricity suddenly?"

"How are we supposed to survive if there's no electricity in this weather?"

"I'm freezing to death. I paid so much property management fees to you, but it's all for nothing."

"Property, please reply quickly."

The property management replied apologetically: "It's too cold outside, causing the power lines to freeze and now we can't generate electricity. We have backup power in our community. Everyone, calm down and wait for three minutes."

The owner's emotions were finally calmed down and suppressed in his heart, but the uneasiness in his heart could not be calmed for a long time.

In this kind of weather, can the property management really restore power supply?

"Woo woo...my mom is freezing to death."

"Woo woo... My dad is lying in bed, his face is blue from the cold. Does anyone have coal and a quilt?"

"My little treasure, why did you leave me?"

"My parents also passed away in bed. I was so scared to be alone."

"The end of the world has really come."

"How are we supposed to survive?"

……

The bad news kept coming out.

The atmosphere in the entire group was gloomy, and a huge pressure was overwhelming everyone.

The atmosphere that had been recovering to its previous state suddenly fell to the bottom.

The fragility and impermanence of life are fully revealed, as if they are so close to them.

"Please grief."

"Without electricity, the heating in my house doesn't work and I'm shivering with cold."

"The quilts at home are all frozen into blocks."

"When will this damn weather pass?"

……

Being human, we must eventually face the shadow of death, which comes silently.

Su Yuzhu turned off the screen of her mobile phone and looked at the message with a heavy heart.

She is not a savior and cannot save anyone.

It is even more impossible to expose one's own supplies to save strangers.

We have given as much notice as possible in advance, but some people will not give up until they reach the Yellow River.

The government has already notified everyone, but there is still a lack of warm clothing. In the end, I can only blame myself.

Su Yuzhu knew in her heart that the greatest competition in human history was about to begin.

The end of the world is a world of natural selection, and people will do anything to survive.

She had to be careful next time.

Half an hour passed, and almost all the owners were counting the minutes, but there was still no electricity in their homes.

How could they tolerate this? They vented all their anger towards the property staff.

"Why hasn't the call come yet?"

"We're all freezing to death."

"Your property management doesn't care about it."

……

"Sorry, everyone, the backup power line in the community has been broken and the power supply is no longer available. We are arranging people to do their best to repair it."

This undoubtedly adds fuel to the fire. It is difficult to survive without heating in such extremely cold weather.

Faced with this sudden survival crisis, the devil hidden in everyone's heart was quietly revealed.

"I paid so much property management fees for you, but it turned out to be of no use at all."

"We are running out of food, please find a solution quickly."

"How long will this snowstorm last? I can't hold on any longer."

"I'm so worried about my parents in the countryside."

……

In an instant, the entire group was filled with negative energy. All kinds of resentment and worries were intertwined and contagious, and there was no longer any laughter and joy as before.

Su Yuzhu drank the bone soup and picked up a wonton and put it in her mouth. The aroma filled her nose, and a sense of vigilance suddenly arose in her heart.

Coming soon.

after awhile.

Su Yuzhu turned on the camera on the safety staircase and started checking it. She could hear the sound of doors opening in the corridor one after another.

The "thump thump" sound of footsteps was like someone stepping on a door.

The violent axe smashed open the door, and the sudden attack startled the people in the house.

Before he could do anything, he was hit by a stick and fell to the ground.

"ah……."

"Don't steal my supplies."

“Help…”

"ah……."

Then there were a series of knocking sounds, and two strong men were seen leaving a house carrying several boxes of supplies.

Various sounds of beating were mixed together. The owners upstairs and downstairs were terrified and could not help but stand by the door with a kitchen knife in their hands.

This undoubtedly awakened the devil in everyone's heart.

When people are starving and freezing, unable to buy supplies and unable to see the future, and facing the possibility of losing their lives at any time, benevolence, righteousness, and morality become the least needed things.

Once someone takes the lead, others don't have to worry about it.

Su Yuzhu temporarily turned off the surveillance, feeling a little heavy.

She lowered her head and took a few bites of wontons before her mood calmed down.

This day finally came.

Xiao Luo sent another message: "You have to be careful, pay attention at night, and don't sleep too deeply."

Su Yuzhu immediately understood what Xiao Luo meant.

“There was a riot in our neighborhood too.”

Xiao Luo sighed: "So fast."

"The community has lost power, and many people are having trouble surviving. To stay alive, they're trying to steal supplies from others."

"Then you must be careful and never open the door for them."

"I eat more salt than you eat rice, so there's no need to worry."

"That's good. I want someone to chat with me."

Su Yuzhu curled her lips and smiled, then closed her phone.

She stared at the hard security door with deep eyes, as sharp as a knife.

The snow continued to fall for several days, and the snow had accumulated to a depth of nearly two meters. The road was difficult to walk on, and stepping on it would leave a deep footprint.

The sound of knocking on the door interrupted the quiet atmosphere.

Su Yuzhu was playing Landlord on her mobile phone when the sound reached her ears.

She walked over, listened to the sounds outside, and turned on the smart camera next to the gate.

A tall, thin and strong man stood at the door, knocking on the door anxiously, his movements becoming more and more urgent.

His voice was hoarse and urgent: "My child has a fever. Please give me a box of antipyretic medicine."

"Please, please, please be kind."

"Open the door quickly."
