Stocking up in space: surviving in a world of crisis

Chapter 5 005 Rainstorm 1
I don't know why, but in the last few days, Ye Fu's heart calmed down.

Not excited, not scared, not nervous, not excited, not sad.

On April 4st, the end of the world came with natural disasters.

Ye Fu turned off her mobile phone and lay on the bed. She locked all the doors and windows, and decided not to participate in this "crazy".

At eight o'clock the next day, the sun did not rise, the sky was blood red, and people walked out of the house to start a new day of work and life.

At this moment, heavy rain and fist-sized hail fell from the sky, dark clouds covered the top, strong winds, lightning and thunder, the sky seemed to be torn open, and the sound of hissing and whimpering echoed between the sky and the earth.

At twelve noon, Ye Fu got up. She didn't open the curtains, but went into the kitchen to continue cooking after a simple wash.

She didn't know what the outside world was like, she didn't want to know, and she didn't dare to know.

The three-bedroom home became very empty, with only a sofa and a low coffee table left in the living room.

Ye Fu put a half-inch family photo into his pocket watch and hung it around his neck, and put away all other things.

In her bedroom, there was only one bed left, only the kitchen, and nothing was moved.

From time to time, there were a few footsteps coming from the stairway of the family building, and Ye Fu also heard the sound of the door next door closing vigorously.

In the afternoon, Ye Fu opened a gap in the curtains. When he saw the cars coming and going in and out of the community and the people running home in distress, Ye Fu's eyes dimmed, and then he closed the curtains.

Turning on the mobile phone, everyone was discussing this once-in-a-century "torrential rain". Many people began to complain, some were cursing, some were gloating.

There are all kinds of beings, Ye Fu has no waves in his heart.

Ye Fu browsed down and saw that the time of the heavy rain was after [-]:[-] in the morning, so Ye Fu knew that the trajectory of the natural disaster had not changed, but the time had changed.

她记得上一世，暴雨是凌晨五点开始下的，而且没有下冰雹，4月1日5:00开始，6月1日5:00结束。

Someone remembered the [Warning] article, and asked a question on the Internet, since the torrential rain has come, how long will the natural disaster last?
This is also an unknown question for Ye Fu, and there is no solution.

The sewers in the house were all blocked with cement, Ye Fu went back to the kitchen and continued cooking.

Due to torrential rains all over the world, will rescue come and when will it come?Will relief supplies be distributed, and when will they be distributed?These are all unknowns.

At this time, the world order is still stable, and water and electricity are supplied normally. Apart from complaining, people have not come up with more terrible ideas.

At night, the stagnant water downstairs began to rise, and there were many distress posts on the Internet, but there were overwhelming posts, and the distress posts just now were submerged in an instant.

Ye Fu heard screams and calls for help from downstairs, she guessed that someone was electrocuted, but she didn't go out.

On the third morning, the big hailstone finally disappeared, but this also meant that water and electricity would be cut off soon.

Ye Fu was glad that the water tank had been fully filled. As expected, after the water and electricity cut off in the afternoon, the mobile phone signal began to weaken. At this moment, a community administrator pulled her into a group.

Seeing the name of the group [Three Mutual Help Groups in Happy Community], Ye Fu frowned and did not quit the group.

There are a total of 305 people in the group, and everyone is still pulling people.

The family building where Ye Fu lives is Building D.

A302: My God, that warning came true, what should I do?When will the higher authorities send someone to rescue us?I live on the third floor, it's terrible, the water has almost flooded the first floor, and the water and electricity have been cut off just now, it's so broken.

C505: Didn't you read the news pushed by your mobile phone?This is a global torrential rain, not just Lancheng, rescue?Estimated to have to wait.

F601: How many supplies have you hoarded?My family only has two cabbages.

A204: Please kind people take him in and reward him with a lot of money.

F601: Why don't you go out and book a high-rise hotel now, with food included.

……

The group fell silent instantly, Ye Fu took a few glances, and set the group messages as Do Not Disturb.

Suddenly, the signal disappeared, and there was no more news from the group. After half an hour, a voice came from downstairs. Ye Fu looked outside, and saw two middle-aged men wearing raincoats and life jackets paddling kayaks out.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the signal was restored, and the group discussed again because some people went out in groups to find supplies.

C702: What should I do?My husband hasn't come back yet, it's been five hours.

A203: Was it your husband who went out just now?What are you doing out in such heavy rain?
C702: There is a child at home, and there are no milk powder and diapers.

C701: My husband also went there. There was an elderly person at home who was sick and went to the hospital to get medicine.

B404: You guys have kayaks, amazing.

C702: Last time I bought it for camping.

C401: I just opened the door to check, and the water level has risen again, and the rain seems to be getting heavier. Do you think they will...

C701: Qian Hong, what nonsense are you talking about, how dare you curse my husband?

C401 sent a mean emoticon package, and C701 quickly cursed back. The two of them kept talking to each other and refused to give in to each other.

Because of this message, the group fell into an eerie silence again. Some people tried to comfort the atmosphere with a few words, but no one dared to go out to help find someone.

Fortunately, around [-]:[-], the two not only came back, but also brought back a lot of supplies.Seeing the two returned safely, chatting in the group became much more relaxed and cheerful.

Building C has a kayak, and everyone started to compliment it, so that they can borrow it for the next time they go out.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Ye Fu vaguely heard a woman crying and cursing from the balcony of Director Chen's house next door. Ye Fu guessed that the balcony must have accumulated water and then flooded the house.

The torrential rain was accompanied by strong wind and lightning. A large piece of the top floor corner of the family building in front was struck off by lightning, and the green trees in the community were uprooted by the strong wind and swept into the air.

Hail warnings, strong convection warnings, thunder and lightning warnings, tornado warnings, cold wave warnings pop up on mobile phones...

Some residents in the community have too many families, and there is not enough food. Rescue has not arrived, and the water level is getting higher and higher. Panic and anxiety have become uncontrollable.

At night, just as Ye Fu was lying in bed, several messages popped up in the group.

Someone in Building E was struck by lightning on the balcony and died on the spot. Ambulances and police cars were no longer able to get through. If someone died, he could only be kept at home.

Building G is home to more than a dozen retired elderly people living alone, with an average age of over seventy years old.

In the middle of the night, the signal was intermittent, Ye Fu saw the temperature dropped to eight degrees, put on a thick quilt, read the news for a long time with his mobile phone, and fell asleep in a daze.

The next day, the thunder and lightning stopped, and more people went out in the community. Relying on the kayaks and life jackets borrowed from Building C, many people went out to purchase supplies together. Ye Fu learned from the group news that everyone was mainly Go buy glass to seal balconies, and cement to block sewers.

Last night, the stagnant water had flowed back from the waterways, flooding every household.
