Chapter 331 [Extra Story 5]

[Only released by Jinjiang Literature City]

In the room, thick stainless steel blinds separated the super strong and violent rain outside, and also blocked unknown things mixed in the rain outside.

Although there are still crackling sounds from time to time, the sound of hitting on the glass and hitting on the stainless steel plate gives people a completely different feeling.

At six in the morning, night had passed, and in the south-facing room on the right side of the small apartment, Tianbao was wrapped in a thin quilt and still slept soundly. The thick blackout curtains were pulled tightly, blocking the earth-turning world outside the window.

This is how children are. They don’t want to sleep when they wake up. Once they fall asleep, they can’t wake up even if they beat gongs and gongs outside.

You Zheng stood outside the door and took a look, half-closed the door again, then put on the parent-sleeved clothes and came back to the living room again.

The floor lamp in the living room was very dim, the TV was on, and the volume was not sounding. The morning news of a local channel was playing above. You Xi stood on the balcony and opened the stainless steel blinds outside a glass window a little bit, using this gap to check the situation outside.

From late at night to now for three to four hours, she heard a lot of abnormalities and movements, from the neighbors upstairs and downstairs and next to her.

On this floor, except for their homes and Xingmin’s house on the other side of the corridor, there was nothing wrong with strengthening the windows, other residents’ homes were uneasy in the middle of the night.

She heard the sound of glass shattering and the panicked screams of residents. There was such a strong wind and rain outside, and she thought about it and knew what would happen if the glass window was broken.

The sleeping resident was awakened. The strong wind and heavy rain rushed into the house. The ground was covered with broken glass and cold rain. Some people's beds were placed close to the window, and they were hit on the frontal critical moment in an instant.

She heard their screams, messy steps, and the sound of moving furniture, probably pushing the cabinets and other things to block the windows.

You Xi couldn't help but feel a little scared. If it weren't for the sudden idea after seeing Xingmin's modified windows that day and thinking about renovating the doors and windows of the house, they would probably be caught off guard like other residents by the sudden extreme weather.

There is a child at home. The bed where they sleep is close to the window. If the glass suddenly breaks, gets wet and gets scratched and bleeding, it will be troublesome. In this kind of weather, I guess I can't see anything on the road while driving, and I can't even go to the hospital.

You Xi looked out the window for a while and then put the blinds together again.

The crackling sound outside had completely stopped, but the rain still did not stop. It looked a little smaller, but it was still like the water pouring down.

She just thought about the visibility of driving, and subconsciously had a bad premonition. Although it was midnight, most residents were resting at home, there were always some special situations outside. They might be taking long-distance buses, taking taxis, or driving by themselves... Because there was no notification of this emergency in the weather forecast, most people were unprepared.

Don’t mention the things contained in the rain. I don’t know how many traffic accidents this heavy rain and strong wind alone will cause…

By seven o'clock, the rain outside finally became lighter.

The small thing mentioned here is just relative to the strong and violent rain in the middle of the night. In fact, it is still moderate rain outside. In the news and on the Internet, it is like coming back to its senses. Various related videos and messages appear explosively.

——When I woke up, my house roof was half gone! Oh my god! The heavy rain hit my body like a waterfall, and my shoulders, arms and forehead were bleeding! Is it raining this time? It’s stones this time!

——It’s not a stone, it’s hail! I was in the car at that time, and the roof of the car was crackling. Fortunately, there was a bridge hole nearby, otherwise the size of the hail would have the possibility of the car glass being smashed!

——How come there is hail in H City?! This shouldn’t be! H City has never been hail before, and at most it will contain a little ice bead when it snows in winter!

——Help, we have a few cars trapped here on Tanxian Road! At that time, everyone wanted to hide from hail, but the strong wind broke a tree next to the road, crushed a car, and blocked the road. We can't move now! The terrain here is low and the rain has been rising! Now it has flooded the tires! Help!

As this post was posted, there was a video of the shaking scene. The owner of the car inside was completely wet and was in a mess. He first took a picture of the situation in the car. One of the windshields of the car was damaged and cracked, and it was not completely broken for the time being.

Then he opened the car window, held his cell phone with his hand to block the rain, and began to take pictures outside. There were about seven or eight cars nearby, with the front and rear bodies of the car in a mess together, and the turbid rain had already disappeared half of the car body.

Some cars have windows open, other drivers and passengers are also taking pictures of the situation here, and some are constantly making calls for help, but they can't get through.

There are all kinds of messages below the post. Some people say they call for help, while others ask them to save themselves. After all, it is dawn, the hail has stopped, and the wind and rain have become less. You can leave the car and leave with water.

Some people also objected, saying that this was too dangerous. After all, the water was so deep, the trees in front fell, and there were still many building wreckage. Who knew what was going on under the water? If it was scratched and scratched, the situation would be worse. It would be better to stay in the car for a while and wait for rescue.

Some people saw the water level next to the car soared, and they suggested that the people in the car first climb out of the car window and climb onto the roof. Otherwise, the rain would fall and the rain would flow back into the car. The people were wet and cold inside, and it was also dangerous to fill the narrow space with water.

But as soon as this kind of suggestion was immediately opposed by another group of people. They said that the rain has not stopped and the wind is strong, and no one can tell whether there will be hail again. They explained that people are on the roof of the car and they can't hide...

Obviously, everyone's ideas are different, but most people are the same as the trapped car owners, and they have no ability to deal with disasters, and the opinions they provide are also diverse.

But among these suggestions, the most common one is to let the trapped people wait for rescue. They were trapped here, with more than a dozen people in total. As long as they insisted on making the rescue phone number or forwarded this post, they @ more officials. The rescue team will definitely come soon.

But at this time, the people of H City and netizens in other cities did not know that the strong storm, wind, rain and hail did not only hit H City, but also five or six cities around H City at home, all encountered the same situation.

Because there was no warning before, everyone was caught off guard. Several planes were lucky. Some of them had just taken off. They immediately returned to the wrong way when the weather changed, while others looked for the airport to make an emergency landing nearby.

The passengers and crew members on the plane were finally in danger and then entered the airport to take refuge. Although the entire itinerary was interrupted, after seeing the storm and hail outside, they did not dare to complain at all, and were only glad that they passed by the god of death.

But one plane was not so lucky. It had taken off for a while when it was stormy and rainy, and there was no suitable airport nearby. It originally wanted to risk climbing up and avoid the clouds, but it did not expect that the wings were hit by hail and the body was damaged. In the end, it could not control the fall and forced to make a forced landing in the wild.

However, in such bad weather, even a forced landing at a normal airport will be dead for life, not to mention that in the wild, the plane eventually broke into two parts, and the casualties were unknown.

After receiving the news, all rescue teams from several nearby cities have been dispatched to search for survivors.

In these cities, various traffic events occurred in different regions at the same time.

A bus driver was seriously injured and unconscious by hail. Before the people on the bus could react, the bus, which originally wanted to drive to the bridge hole to hide, rushed onto the bridge, and eventually lost control, broke through the fence and fell to the river.

A moving train was pushed out of the landslide due to heavy rain and overturned the track, causing a major traffic accident. Rescuers from nearby towns rushed to the scene after receiving the news. The scene was in chaos and heavy rain was still falling. The mountain was in danger of landslide at any time. However, the derailed train had injured survivors waiting to be rescued...

These things happened almost at the same time because of the sudden change in the weather without warning. Rescue work has only begun. Many have not been reported by the news, and some have even been known by the relevant departments by survivors to post videos online.

There were too many accidents and accidents, and the rescue system of the entire city was stretched to its limit, so some small disaster-stricken scenes were not taken care of for a while.

**

These accidents, the Youxi sisters, like other ordinary people who are lucky enough to stay at home, have limited knowledge.

After realizing that the rain was getting lighter outside, You Xi opened the blinds of one of the windows on the balcony. The strong wind outside had passed, and the rain turned into a drizzle that was floating inclined. She opened the glass window and then opened the lock of the stainless steel blinds outside.

This is an exit left when installing windows. No matter how high a window is, it is impossible for a normal person to renovate a window, it is impossible to lock himself in a cage like an animal. If something happens to the door and you cannot get out and you need to escape through the window, you must leave an exit.

This exit balcony and two rooms have it. One of the stainless steel blinds can be moved away with the window frame. However, it is usually locked and can only be moved after unlocking.

She removed the stainless steel window frames and saw the city outside that was raging for half a night by wind, rain, hail and hail.

The trees in the community were all rolled up, the ground was full of scattered branches and leaves, as well as broken windows and wood fragments in the homes of some nearby residents.

The community wall is not too far from their building, and the road outside the wall is even more messy. Any shops along the street that have not pulled the roller shutter doors, all the doors and windows are broken. Some big trees have crushed the doors of the shops when they fall down, and some shops still have people, but they are blocked by the trunks and branches at this moment, and they can't get out.

The row of parking spaces along the street was even more miserable. All the cars left their original positions and collided with each other, with broken thick branches pressing on them. A small car even rushed into the shop next to the road, collapsing half of the wall...

Fortunately, most of the cars in Youxi community were parked in the basement, and there were not many cars on the ground, but the low-rise residential buildings were still seriously damaged because the community was well green, and most of them were small trees that were not too tall. These trees were swept by the strong wind, and many residents on the second and first floors suffered.

All morning, people in the community were cleaning up the mess. Someone took advantage of the rain to clean up the house and quickly sent the injured family to the hospital.

Some people are lucky, no one is injured at home, but the windows are destroyed, and they are in a hurry to rebuild because the rain has been falling, and no one knows whether the weather will get worse again.

Some people noticed the high-strength protection stainless steel blinds outside Youxi and Xingmin's residences, and immediately came to the door to ask where they were customized. Of course, some people didn't ask. These windows can be customized in professional door and window stores. Just check the nearby shops with your mobile phone and check the nearby shops.

But the problem is that every window is now suffering, and people who want to repair ordinary windows are lined up and no one will take care of them, let alone the high-protection windows that require time to customize?

You Xi and You Zheng kept watching the news until Tianbao woke up naturally and walked to the living room with his slippers. They realized that it was almost eleven o'clock in the morning and they hadn't even eaten breakfast.

You Xi carried Tianbao to wash, while You Zheng went to the kitchen. When she took the eggs from the refrigerator, she found that there were only two boxes of eggs left, which is 20.

She frowned slightly, thought of something, and began to check the inventory at home.

Youxi Apartment is small, so I also bought a single door refrigerator, with three floors on the upper and middle floors. The upper floor is kept fresh, the middle drawer is 0 degrees, and the lower floor is frozen.

There are several boxes of fruits, three and four potatoes and carrots in the refrigerator, Tianbao's favorite yogurt, cheese, cheese butter, and these are quite a lot because Youxi has restocked them once in the supermarket before.

In the freezer, pork bones, pork belly, lamb chops, beef brisket, chicken wings, and saba fish are in stock for about three or four meals. There are some quick-frozen dumplings and scallion pancakes, some fat beef and mutton rolls, and some cold drinks.

Most of the things here were bought by You Xi this time, and it seems that the supplies are sufficient.

But there are a few vegetables, about three or four kinds of leafy vegetables, some onions, ginger and garlic. Because these are not tolerant, You Zheng does not recommend Youxi to prepare too much.

There is not much food in the cabinet next to the refrigerator, only half a bag of rice is left, and the same is true for cooking oil. A few packs of dried mushrooms, shrimp skin, black fungus that have been eaten halfway through Kaifeng, a pack of noodles, a pack of Tianbao's children's nutritional noodles, a little bit of grains and cereals... All of them are things she usually uses for cooking and will see them every day.

She originally thought there were a lot of things and the refrigerator was quite full, but now You Zheng is not satisfied with it. There are too few things.

She is an online editor and reads a lot of news about various disasters. When the harsh climate occurs, social activities will usually be stopped. It is recommended to stay at home temporarily. She doesn't know whether this disaster will be one-time or will happen again, but she must prepare for a little more goods in the future.

It just so happened that there was no damage at home and there was no need to clean it up. She thought, otherwise she would go to the supermarket while the rain was low today?

You don’t have to go to large supermarkets far away, just nearby small and medium-sized supermarkets. You can buy what you need and don’t choose brands for the time being.

Thinking of this, she walked out of the kitchen and went to the storage cabinet to continue counting the inventory at home. However, when she opened the cabinet door, You Zheng was shocked. There were a large bag of unopened rice, wheat flour, dried seafood, grains, noodles and instant noodles, and dehydrated vegetables.

In addition, there are two boxes of lunch meat, two boxes of canned smoked fish, two large buckets of cooking oil, four boxes of room temperature milk, Sprite Cola milk tea and coffee, three boxes of biscuits of different flavors, several cans of tea, seven and eight packs of coffee beans, and the brewed milk tea and soy milk is also seven and eight large bags.

Not to mention those bagged snacks, even soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, sugar, pepper, cumin powder, curry powder, chicken essence, starch, etc., are all stocked with more than two servings.

These things fill the entire storage cabinet from the floor to the ceiling tightly.

You Zheng, who hadn't opened a storage cabinet for a while:...

But You Xi was shaking over with Tianbao at this time, and then said with dissatisfaction: "There are still too few things. In this way, I will go out again today and add something. Sister, please stay at home with Tianbao. Remember to pull up the fence door inside after I leave."

"What else do you want to buy?" You Zheng was surprised.

"Prepare some milk powder and snacks for us Tianbao!"

Not long ago, I saw You Xi carrying two boxes of milk powder home:...Okay, just be happy.

**

A chaotic and embarrassing day passed. Although the rain still did not stop on this day, I don’t know if it was because of the extreme climate before that caused the people of H City and several other cities to suffer, so the rain has been very small, as if I wanted to make people breathe a sigh of relief.

In the evening, Youxi came back, and she brought back two boxes of milk powder, a few boxes of duck with sauce, braised duck wings, pepper chicken and meat, a large bag of fresh fish, shrimp and seafood, and a large bag of vegetables and fruits.

There are seven or eight varieties of vegetables and fruits, which is enough for You Zheng to make a dish for a week or two.

Of course, this is just something on the surface. In fact, there are more milk powder, braised vegetables, vegetables, fruits, and seafood in her space.

Although H City encountered the strong storm, storm and rain that last night, major supermarkets still insisted on opening their doors today. However, the glass windows and doors of some supermarkets were damaged, and the staff were urgently repairing them because they did not have enough staff and looked a little embarrassed.

Normally, there are stocks in supermarkets, both large, medium and small, and even products that are not suitable for vegetables, fish and shrimp.

So today, the supply of major supermarkets is normal as usual, but there are not many people going to the supermarket to buy things. After all, everyone is dealing with home affairs and has not yet thought about the supplies.

At this stage, those who can think of going to the supermarket first are more crisis-conscious. People no longer pick and choose things like they usually do. They basically walk by carts and directly carry the items and food they need. Their expressions look a little anxious, and they don’t care about how much they take or what they take.

You Xi didn't buy much, so she went to two supermarkets and finished it after filling up a car.

Because the kiwi shrimp, yellow clams and cuttlefish she brought home were very fresh, You Zheng made a large pot of seafood vermicelli pot in the evening.

Wash the seafood first, add boiling water and add rice wine to the sand, and then pick it up after "opening your mouth", throw away the cuttlefish, and do everything, remove the shrimp head and shrimp thread.

Then add hot oil to the shrimp head and stir-fry it out. Then pick up the shrimp head and throw it away, add garlic paste to stir-fry, add seafood and stir-fry for a while, then add various seasonings according to the taste, or add a little rice wine, stir-fry evenly, add vermicelli and add water, boil and sprinkle chopped green onion and coriander, and you can eat it.

You Xi couldn't help but taste it first. The seafood was salty, fragrant and tender because it was properly processed and stir-fried. The vermicelli absorbed the seafood soup, and each bite was extremely smooth. It was served with white rice and it could be eaten with two bowls.
