Chapter 187 Man-made Disaster
[Only released by Jinjiang Literature City]
The next day, the fourth "Red Lotus" appeared in the city.
On the third day, the number of "red lotus" in the city increased to six.
On the fourth day, a new earth-breaking phenomenon occurred in an originally safe area. Fortunately, the "Red Lotus" did not appear at the same time, giving everyone some time to breathe and move, but the collapsed building caused a large number of people to be injured and died, adding pressure to the already tense medical and rescue.
Schools, companies, and public places have all been shut down. The news calls on everyone to stay at home for the time being and not go out. But in this situation, many places in the urban area have become prohibited areas for death, which has led to the overcrowding of other relatively safe areas.
When there are too many people, it is easy to cause chaos and cause disasters. What's more, among the refugees, there is also the distinction between natural humans and followers.
Many people have one or two people in their families. The nanny type and the companion type are the two types. In the past, there were houses and peaceful life, and people were the icing on the cake.
But now, the area where the house is located is listed as a high-risk area and does not fall within the scope of insurance compensation. And the people above only ordered evacuation, and the new area was designated for them to settle, and it was impossible to give them the same quality of life as before.
Some people are assigned to non-residential buildings that are not suitable for living at all, while others are assigned to the same house. Naturally, humans have to rest and eat, and people have to rest and eat. When resources are tight, conflicts arise.
Some people disliked the followers of the same house. They said that the followers in his family were too ugly. They hurt their eyes and were not qualified to eat, so they let the other party lose the person directly.
However, the other party had already had feelings for this fellow servant and regarded her as a family member. Now that the family was insulted, they were not happy, so they began to fight back, saying that the fellow servants in the other party were too thin and like a skeleton. And now the house was gone, so why did they keep a nanny-shaped fellow servant? Let him lose his own fellow servant and make room for his parents to sleep.
As they quarreled, they started fighting.
Some people quarreled over someone's bedroom, some people fought to grab an ambulance, and some people rushed into a nearby supermarket to move around...
The city is completely in chaos.
The apartment building where Youxi is located is known as a diamond aristocratic property. It is one of the most popular areas. The building is sturdy and each house is extremely large, but there are very few people living in each household.
The building uses triple spontaneous power supply of fuel, wind and solar energy, gas and water supply systems, and other systems are also self-contained. Even if the gas leakage in other places is not affected by ground cracks and "Red Lotus" water pipe bursting, it will not affect it.
There are several small supermarkets in the building that are convenient for everyone to shop, several entertainment clubs, several restaurants, several cafes, and a mid-air green plantation park that spans several floors...
In addition, there is a death penalty area nearby, and there is not a second "red lotus" around it, which has led many displaced people to focus on this building.
However, the residents in this building are either rich or noble, the building is tightly secured, each family has its own bodyguards, and the above also knows the situation here, so it is clear that it is not advisable to arrange refugees to check in.
Not only that, the above also arranged for people to use a low-altitude floating truck to send a batch of supplies to the rooftop of the building as a supply for special periods.
So, many people set their sights on this building, but they couldn't get in. However, they did not give up the idea of moving into this building.
But the rich people in the building knew nothing about this situation.
They have been full of bitterness recently. They know that the situation outside is tense and they can’t go out shopping, beauty and entertainment like before, so they can only temporarily avoid the building. Fortunately, every household has a refrigerator and freezer, with a lot of inventory of supplies, and they will also send supplies regularly outside.
But the entertainment venues in the building are closed, and only the supermarkets are left in the business premises. Life is boring. In addition, many wealthy people in the building know each other and are friends with good relationships.
So when people were bored, the rich began to visit each other for dinner, but they didn't know how to restrain themselves and held a big banquet.
At night, many residents' homes have a lot of lights. Compared with other areas around due to periodic power outages, this building is completely like a lighthouse in the dark, bright and gorgeous, and it is... irritable.
In other buildings, refugees crowded in the same house holding the official boxed lunches, through the clear floor-to-ceiling glass of the building opposite, they could always see the sumptuous dinner party inside.
On the long white dining table with tablecloth, there are exquisite dining plates, wagyu sea urchin foie gras salmon lobster, oysters piled up into hills, fat and tender grilled pigeon roasted whole lamb, beautiful ice cream hotpot chocolate waterfall, golden champagne served in crystal cups and nanny-shaped special drinks prepared from the site...
Someone looked at the building opposite with a telescope, looked down at the fried cabbage meat slices and fish pieces in the lunch box in his hand, and felt that he couldn't swallow it.
In fact, most of the people here have normal living conditions, and their daily life is just a few dishes and soup, which is ordinary.
These lunch boxes are made in a hurry, because they lack manpower and materials, so they can be distributed freely, and it is already good to have one for each.
If they had changed the area and there was no such building opposite, they might have finished their lunch box quickly and went to bed early because of hunger.
But now, they feel great injustice and they feel they are insulted.
They had nothing but their carry-on luggage.
The house that was about to pay off the loan, the home appliances and furniture that I found online at a discount, and the home that I spent so much effort to decorate... were all gone!
Why do the ground crack areas appear near their homes, and why not next to this building!?
Some people started to gather in private and began to speak in anger. Some people could not understand this kind of jealousy and indignation. They were dragged to listen to the speech for a while and turned their heads away, but some people were stimulated to be angry and injustice in their hearts.
Under natural disasters, the source of man-made disasters is always strange.
You Xi once again rejected the dinner invitation sent by a celebrity artist from the room opposite the same floor.
It’s already the end of the world. I don’t know what I’m thinking about when I hold dinners and have dinners every now and then. Will it be contagious if my bad mind is contagious? Or are these people rich for too long and can’t understand what the word “end of the world” means?
I have food stored at home, can't I eat it slowly by stocking it up?
Even if one or two families had a banquet at first, it wouldn't be imitating the whole building, right? It seemed that saving a little was an extremely embarrassing thing. She now went to the mid-air green plant park on the 13th and 14th floors and was always visited by people.
Because she has rejected nearly twenty dinner invitations these days, she has been staying in the apartment for the rest of the day except for a fixed time to run in the park in the air.
There is no secret in the building. Everyone knows that she has bought two new companionship styles. She is one in a million, and she looks and looks more like a star than a celebrity artist.
Therefore——the rumor that "Mr. You hugs and holds you from both sides every night, and for a moment, he can't live without two companionship people, and he is reluctant to take them out for others to see them" spread wildly.
In addition, she had two men who were originally from the crowd, one with four handsome men, and she really didn't have much time to go out...
Although, why didn’t they see before that she had such a good “appetite” in some aspects?
Youxi:...
Too good hearing is also a disadvantage, and you can hear any conversation that hurts the ears.
Rich people are like gossip. Even if she guessed whether she was one night, two or three at the same time, which one could make her "happy" better...
"Tell your master, you don't have to send me invitations in the future. I won't go to dinner. This situation outside makes me very scared. I want to stay at home all the time."
You Xi casually said a reason to make excuses and then closed the door.
In the apartment, Yan Shang was attracted by the movement outside, stood at the kitchen door and looked at her for a few times. When she saw her closing the door and entering the room, she went back to the refrigerator room to count the remaining supplies with Jian Shou.
In the kitchen, Heimu was preparing dinner in the kitchen, while Xiyuan was cleaning the vegetables to be used by the pool.
He had never done these things before. He stayed in the apartment for a few days and did nothing. Later, when he saw that Yan Shang went to the kitchen to help, he also said that he could help.
He is a real novices in the kitchen and doesn't know which kind to wash the vegetables first. Fortunately, Hei Mu is patient enough and can arrange it, so he took him to prepare meals in the kitchen.
You Xi had seen the refrigerator and the kitchen, and felt very satisfied. She continued to sit on the lounge chair in the living room, eating fruits while watching current affairs news.
The incident happened around the early morning that night. She heard a faint cry for help, and then suddenly woke up.
The building has a good sound insulation, but her hearing is better.
The cry for help does not come from outside the building, but from inside the building.
On the seventh floor, the door of the luxurious apartment is always open because of the dinner party to entertain guests. The banquet starts at 8 o'clock. At twelve o'clock in the morning, it happens to open a bottle of red wine with some people and continue drinking with them.
Maybe they will talk about where the ground breaks happened in today's current affairs news and where the news of "Red Lotus" appearing.
In their opinion, although this disaster is terrible, there must have been countermeasures above. Previous online videos and some information about the characteristics of "Red Lotus" should have been leaked by internal people.
Otherwise, who could have taken such a coincidence that he took pictures of the giant "Red Lotus" appearing. Not only did he come back alive, but he also wrote the characteristics of "Red Lotus" clearly before he could tell the truth?
It’s just that there are mistakes inside and the people above refuse to admit it.
With this analysis, although the disaster is terrible, they believe that the people above have already had countermeasures. They just need to wait with peace of mind and wait for the disaster to end for a while before they can return to their normal life.
So, when a group of strangers with ferocious expressions rushed out of the stairwell with sticks and knives and rushed straight into the gate of their apartment, the rich people wearing evening dresses for the dinner were completely shocked.
It was too late for them to close the door again. The other party and their bodyguards clashed from others. Although their bodyguards were trained, they were not as patient as there were many people on the other party, and they were unable to match their fists. They were eventually besieged and fell to the ground one by one.
"Are you crazy? What are you doing? What do you think this is? Do you want to spend the rest of your life in prison?" Some people who are used to big scenes scolded sternly.
As a result, he was knocked out by a stick after just a few words.
Several intruders next to him immediately rushed up, tied the man up with a rope, blocked his mouth, and threw it aside.
"We are not stupid. Those who are just following people, die when they die. As for you rich people, we are just here to discuss with you."
The leader among the intruders smiled and looked at the others who were staring blankly, saying, "Look, the water in our place of residence is cut off, and we can't even take a shower. The food we sent us is full of delicious food. You are doing well here, and you have a song every night and there are so many dishes that you can't finish. Isn't it good to help you?"
After he finished speaking, he asked the other intruders to tie up everyone and throw them into a room in the room.
Starting tonight, this safe building, and so many rich supplies belong to them!
The same thing happened on different floors of the building.
Some people closed the door in time, but they couldn't stand the people outside chopping, hitting, kicking, and hitting... In the end, they took some things and drove a low-altitude hover car outside the balcony to escape from the apartment.
But more people did not have low-altitude hover cars. They locked the door and brought various cabinets and tables to resist, but the people who broke the door outside never stopped.
They knew that if this continued, the door would sooner or later break open, and the intruders would rush into their homes and take away everything from them.
They picked up the phone and wanted to call the police, but they couldn't get through. All the rescue calls and alarm calls were occupied, because today, a new "red lotus" suddenly appeared along with the ground crack.
A new disaster is happening, and everyone is busy with rescue, and there is no time to pay attention to the matter here...
The security of this building is so good that they never thought they would be invaded by outsiders, or they were in such a position, so they naturally felt that something was impossible.
They never thought that those well-trained security personnel also had their own families, and they would also have their own selfishness and do things that were impossible for their families.
In peacetime, everything is fine.
But when major changes occur, people's hearts never stand any test.
In the short time when You Xi woke up and ran away from her room, there were two low-altitude floating cars carrying people to escape in panic on the balcony on different floors of the building.
She walked to the door of the apartment and looked out through the cat's eyes on the door panel.
The double-open door of the apartment opposite was open, and the ground was full of overturned items. The white plush carpet was completely dirty. During the period, it was mixed with red liquid. I don’t know if it was wine or... blood.
A tall stranger came out of the door holding a stick, and looked down at another person holding a knife standing in the corridor, and pointed to the door of her apartment.
It basically means that I just asked the little star that the other party is also a big player, and the president of a listed group is much richer than the little star.
There are only a lot of supplies at the other party’s house.
