The dark clouds were densely covered in the city's air, and the rain never stopped.

You Xi pulled half of the glass and saw it from the stainless steel blinds. The whole city seemed to fall into a deep dark and wet silence.

This is the third day after a large-scale long night phenomenon. Because power outages have occurred in many places in China, the public cannot learn about the causes and solutions of this phenomenon in a timely manner. She called up her mobile phone to the radio channel, and several channels with common bands have been repeatedly informing about the relevant situation.

It is reported that special substances in dust were detected in the clouds. They should be some metal mineral from outer space. It is not clear how the substance originally belonged to outer space came to the planet. But it is obvious that this special metal mineral is absorbed by thick clouds and reflects the sunlight, leading to a large-scale long night event.

The official continued to comfort the people, saying that the troops have started to prepare and will use technology to disperse the clouds. If it goes well, maybe it will stop along with the heavy rain that has lasted for many days.

The power outage has been many days, and there are not many places in H City that still have power support, so most people are not aware of the news and situation.

Power outages, water outages, gas outages, home supplies bottom out, floods in the city, coupled with such abnormal weather now, these numerous events seem to be superimposed on debuffs, finally crushing the hearts of the people who were originally struggling to support them.

From the height of the eighth floor, people appeared on the streets with dim water from time to time using various tools to show up. Some people didn't care about the dirt accumulation of water and dragged a large bathtub and walked directly into the water that was about to reach their chest.

The dark and dark colors around them gave them despair, but also gave them protection. You Xi saw them walking through the streets with difficulty, walking up the steps, and coming to a nearby small and medium supermarket, first took out a large vise or crowbar, broke the lock of the roller shutter or fence door, and opened the first protective door.

Then, someone raised a crowbar, or replaced the tools in his hand with a more convenient bat, a stainless steel pipe, and smashed it down hard according to the supermarket glass.

At the beginning, the people who smashed the supermarket were a little slow, especially when they first smashed it down, they seemed a little dazed about what they were doing at the moment.

But soon, they held the tools in their hands again and continued to smash them towards the glass in front of them, from regular hits to headless and brainless smashing. No matter how strong the glass is, it can't hold on, and it shatters and opens a big hole in the supermarket.

They didn't care about the broken glass falling in the water, dragged the bathtubs and plastic buckets floating on the water into the supermarket, and then began to pick up the packaged supplies: instant noodles, mineral water, vacuum-packed meat, bags of noodles, chocolate, biscuits, batteries, kitchen knife tools...

Everyone is like a hungry wolf, holding more supplies desperately, whether they are floating in the water or still on the shelves. When the same shelf hits, they will still compete for each other.

Some people have many companions, and the number of people is the upper hand, while others have strong physical strength and physical strength. However, the competition is usually not long because there are other things on the supermarket shelves.

If you can't win here, the loser will no longer waste his time and will switch to other shelves, such as candy snacks, potato chips, canned food, pickles and sauces, drinks... Anyway, as long as it can be eaten and drunk, no matter what it is, I will take it and talk about it!

Due to the power outage, most of the fresh milk, yogurt, sausage, cheese, vegetables and fruits placed in the refrigerator in the supermarket have been broken, but because the temperature has dropped, there is no bad smell in the air.

Some people didn't dislike it and took away all the badly black vegetables and fruits that were not soaked in water on the upper floor of the refrigerator.

After all, fresh vegetables and fruits at home have been out of food for a long time, so everyone can cook them, but what should the child do? He always eats rice with sauce. Even if he is willing to eat them because his child is hungry for a long time, they feel distressed.

Their world shouldn't be like this, it's like crazy.

But if the world is really crazy, they have to find a way out for themselves to survive! The food and water they put in a basin and bucket are their hope for survival with their families.

Therefore, everyone moved quickly. After filling the supplies, they immediately returned with the basin and bucket.

The temperature outside is around three to six degrees, and it becomes even colder because it rains. It is full of water, especially the road surface and the water deep in your chest, which makes people unable to pay attention to the situation under your feet.

Some people were scratched by construction waste and cut their wounds. Some people stepped on the air and fell into a pit, and they rushed into the water and felt embarrassed. But they didn't care about the pain, the cold, and the embarrassment. They immediately adjusted themselves, stood firm again, and quickly returned to the direction of home.

They knew that the movement here had attracted other people in the surrounding residential buildings, with so many people nearby and so many eyes after building, but there were only a few supermarkets. Once someone reacted, they ran out and intercepted them, and these supplies would not be saved and their families would be hungry!

Therefore, they were moving forward in the water desperately, at a much faster speed than when they came out.

But it is impossible not to be intercepted. As others run out of the building, the number of people on the street increases and chaos begins.

Intercept, rob, hiss, roar, fight, beat, fresh and blood... Someone took a heavy hand in fear, and the person who intercepted was hit on the forehead and fell down in the water.

But at this time, no one would stop to save people. They only remember the supplies they had saved and the people waiting at home. They accelerated again and quickly left the street.

When the few rescue teams in the city drove their rubber boats by the nearby area, the people who were lying face down in the water had long since disappeared.

The norms and bottom lines of peacetime times have been broken again and again. Even if most people are doing these things, they cannot feel completely in their hearts. Most of them are afraid, self-loathing, and despair, but they have to continue...

Looking at this scene, You Xi felt depressed. She wanted to do something. Suddenly she seemed to be able to do something, but when she passed by, she sadly discovered that she was just an insignificant member of this disaster.

Her physical fitness is much better than before, but can she deal with one, two, five... can she deal with ten, twenty or even more at the same time?

She has stocked up a lot of supplies, and the lottery system will give her some new supplies every few days. However, even if these supplies are placed in the entire H City, even if they are only placed in the community where she is, it will be a drop in the bucket.

So, who can she save?

How could she have such unrealistic ideas?

You Xi knew that this group of people was different from those who rushed into the community with backup generators before not long after the power outage. According to the videos posted by residents of high-level communities on the Internet, those group of people were not moral in the first place and were not at the point where they could not survive.

They just took advantage of the chaos and robbed for the sake of robbery.

Now these people are ordinary people, most of them are helpless, but the number of these people is far greater than that of those who are purely evil. When a region and a city and most of the normal people begin to be in chaos, it is the beginning of the real chaos in this region and the city.

She knew that first of all, there were major shopping malls, large supermarkets, small and medium supermarkets, hotels, pharmacies... When the supplies in these places were snatched up and moved, others would look around.

Those who are hardworking will form a team and start to search for supplies and water from house to house, while those who are hardworking will mainly hide and escape.

But now the city is flooded very deeply, and the rain is falling, covering it for a long night, and the whole city is full of dark and cold crises. It is an extremely difficult action to break through such a city street and follow the news of the shelter area to escape to the safe area.

And the three of them could stay in this small apartment and survive as long as the rain did not flood the eighth floor.

But the problem is that she and You Zheng can live a life of being closed-door. What about Tianbao? She is only four years old. Could it be that disasters have continued to stop? She has been trapped in this small house with them?

What's more, the premise of being safe here is that in addition to the water level not flooding the eighth floor, this apartment can always block the outside world.

**

You Zheng noticed that You Xi's face was a little calm when she closed the window and returned to the living room.

After coaxing Tianbao to take a nap that day, You Zheng came to the kitchen.

Youxi is stewing chicken soup, but it is the green ecological chicken I bought at the agricultural and sideline product display and sales meeting. Now that the gas is gone, they use induction cookers for cooking. Youxi Space has many different models of induction cookers, as well as energy-saving and power-saving self-cooking pots.

Just add the ingredients to the chicken soup and boil it, then put it in the self-cooking pot together with the pot stewed chicken soup, and then cover it tightly. The self-cooking pot can use its own super insulation function to keep the chicken soup at the same temperature at all times to achieve the effect of self-cooking.

This self-cooking pot is almost an enlarged version of the stewed beaker that was once popular. The most important thing is to save energy and electricity. Because of its closed nature, the aroma of chicken soup will not be exposed too much during the self-cooking process.

Make some chicken soup, then make one meat and one vegetable, and you can have dinner at night.

In fact, she has a lot of cooked food in her space, but now in this situation outside, they don’t want to waste it too much. If Tianbao has anything else she wants to eat, she can take it out of the space.

"What's wrong? The situation outside is very bad?" You Zheng only has the vision and hearing of ordinary people, so naturally he can't observe the situation outside at any time like You Xi.

"Well, a large-scale chaos has begun. Some people hurt people, some people protect themselves and some people fight back, and some people can't control their strength, causing irreparable casualties..."

"You mean...kill someone?"

"Well, once this bottom line is broken, there will be no turning back. So if the current disaster situation has not been improved, the city will soon be unable to stay because there are too many people..." You Xi did not hide it and told the status quo and speculation.

You Zheng understood: "Do you want to leave H City? Go to the official shelter under construction mentioned on the radio?"

You Xi took out the computer from the space, opened it and found the map she had downloaded before. She enlarged the map and circled it out several places: "Our community is not in a good location, and it is in the south of the city, but because of this, it is relatively close to the suburbs. Here - southwest of H City, is the entire Qiuwangshan scenic area, with several different small scenic spots located outside the large scenic spot. At present, the shelter reported by H City is also here, but because of the manpower problem, it is not half-formed like other shelter points.

But I have checked that there are many B&Bs near these scenic spots. The buildings there may not be that solid, but the terrain is high, which is in line with the point of "going to the heights". In addition, B&Bs are all small-scale buildings, and it is impossible for the official to build shelter points. The shelter points they most likely choose are probably here, or here-"

You Xi said, and focused on several places, "This is a relatively mature scenic spot. There are many supporting supermarkets, shops, and supplies around it. There are also several large cave landscapes, suitable for building indoor shelter. There are several B&Bs not far from these places, but not very close, which is in line with another 'good saying' - sometimes, the large group may not be good.

There may be people at homestays, but it is impossible for everyone to stay because of shortage of supplies and other problems. In addition, the shelter is nearby, so they have a transfer advantage over us, so there is a high chance of finding empty houses here.

Before leaving, we can remove the double-layer anti-aircraft glass, glass and stainless steel blinds in the house and put them directly in the space to take them to the homestay. At that time, we will search for some modification tools on the road, and after the transfer, we can transform them yourself..."

You Xi planned these things for a day or two. You Zheng heard her tell the story at this moment, and with the clear pictures and texts, the heavy pressure in her heart gradually subsided.

But now, the only difficulty in watching the entire plan is the evacuation process.

Once they leave this small safe house, the three of them will be completely exposed to a dangerous environment. If only she and You Zheng would be fine, but they still have the most important little baby.

According to the situation on the street I saw before, her rubber boat with its own windproof and waterproof triangle tent and can be equipped with engine thrusters will probably become an important material that many people are targeting.

As for the same thing, can she rely on the weapons she drew from the lottery against five or ten people, but can she deal with twenty or thirty people?

At that time, someone will fight to the death and directly overturn the rubber boat or poke it out, and Tianbao will be in danger.

Because of this, even though You Xi had a clear goal, he still couldn't make up his mind to change.

"Do you want to wait for the official action?" You Zheng guessed, "If it can disperse the clouds, solve the problem of long nights, or even heavy rain can stop... then maybe there is no need to divert it?"

"If these can be solved, even if they are transferred, the road will be much safer."

It is not that the people would not be short of materials at that time and would not be snatched away, but that this action is equivalent to announcing hope and telling the people who are struggling in the city that the country is working hard and they have not given up.

Once the people have this hope, many crazy and desperate actions will no longer occur.

The supper was made by You Zheng, a braised pork with three fat and two thin pork belly. It was fried with sugar to make the sauce color, stir-fry and stew. The soup was rich, the fat meat was slightly burnt and fragrant, the pig skin was swelling, the lean meat was soft and glutinous, and with white rice, even Tianbao could eat a whole bowl.

The vegetables are garlic cabbage, which is refreshing and refreshing, just to get rid of the fatty braised pork.

With fresh chicken soup, You Zheng is very satisfied with being able to eat such home-cooked delicious food in this situation.

Tianbao indeed made other requests before dinner, wanting to eat sweet ice cream.

Because of the cooling outside, You Zheng hadn't given her ice cream for a long time. Even those that were originally placed in the refrigerator were completely stored in the space after the power outage.

After all, there is a space like a preservation device, and there is no need to turn on the refrigerator, and electricity can be saved.

The refrigerator now is just a cabinet-like thing, with some snacks and fruits that are not bad so that Tianbao can take it and eat it by himself.

You Zheng definitely doesn’t want to give Tianbao ice cream. In this kind of weather, if you get bad food, where can you treat her on her stomach?

But it doesn't matter if you can't eat ice cream. There are some things that can be replaced in Youxi's space. She took out a piece of strawberry cake and a cup of pudding milk tea and asked her which one she wanted. As a result, Tianbao was very happy to leave both.

The atmosphere in the small apartment is warm, but the situation in the community is changing quietly.

In the middle of the night that day, You Xi was awakened by the subtle movement. She did not wake You Zheng and Tianbao up, quickly got out of bed, grabbed a coat and walked out of the room.

The sound of noise came from the gate. She carefully identified that someone was prying the door!
