Chapter 6

Star City District.

Jiang Huan watched the news from the owner group flash by one by one, and someone sent some short videos.

In the video, all the fishermen going out to sea in the North Pole lost their signal, the sea was frozen, and some people returned home by chance. Most of the fishermen and sea operators lost contact. With this cooling trend, it is estimated that there will be no good news.

Schools have been closed for a long time. At this time, even some jobs related to people's livelihood cannot be started. Some roadsides are cracked, and the walls of old buildings are creaking.

The hospitals are all overcrowded, and even the community is taking the initiative to keep residents nearby for diagnosis and treatment. People's fear is infinitely magnified at this moment. Now they call the police, but they can't wait for the police.

At this moment, people who have not stocked up at home seem very insecure and anxious.

The property management frequently uses loudspeakers to remind everyone not to sleep to death at night. In fact, people are doing their duty. However, even if it is a freezing natural disaster, some people still like to be incompetent and furious, regardless of the kindness of others.

"The weather is like this. Does your property not have an emergency plan? Why did we pay the property fee?"

"That's right, organize everyone to help each other. Many of us only eat fresh vegetables at home every day, so we don't stock up at all. I've been hungry for two meals!"

"Bring me some rice, and some fruit, too. If I don't have fruit, I will be constipated."

Covering the phone so as not to read these unnutritious messages, Jiang Huan started exercising in the room, while Jiang Xi was also stepping on the elliptical machine and holding a mineral water bottle.

Physical fitness is also important. Jiang Huan has collected the gym equipment and is currently exercising with his younger brother.

Everyone was lucky enough to hope that tomorrow would be better, but after one night, the temperature was still in the minus [-]s and there was no sign of turning around. When Jiang Huan heard the call downstairs to gather on the first floor, he walked towards the door, and Jiang Xi insisted on following.

She simply added an extra layer of mask to her younger brother and put on earmuffs. The two went downstairs quickly. There were too many people and they seemed noisy.

Some were arguing, and some were crying at the two figures on the ground covered by a white cloth. Seeing Jiang Huan's eyes were full of doubts, a familiar Yujie came to Jiang Huan's side, looking mysterious.

"Sister just came down, two old people froze to death in our community, alas, they are both retired old people, with a monthly pension of [-] to [-], and I don't know what to save. The temperature has dropped and the heating is not turned on before going to bed..."

"Shhhhhh, Liu Ling, don't tell people these things. Anyway, everyone should pay attention. If possible, buy more food and coal. Don't save money. I feel that today is a strange day." Her boyfriend came to pull her away.

The two men with armbands tremblingly mobilized everyone to distribute the supplies, but no one responded to the proposal. Instead, an old man brought a blanket from the property.

The rest said: "Then let's go buy something quickly and put it away, no matter how expensive it is, we will buy it."

Nothing serious, Jiang Huan went upstairs with his younger brother, and when they reached the fifth floor, they heard movement in the corridor. "Ball ball, Lan Lan."

She lowered her footsteps and listened carefully.

Behind the security gate, the two children were running around and having fun, and vaguely heard their parents complaining about the weather, and the children could not go downstairs to play, because they were too suffocated.

Continue to walk upstairs. On the ninth floor, I met the couple who were about to go downstairs.

The woman looked at Jiang Huan's obedient and bullying appearance, and rolled her eyes in disgust.

"A tenant came to the landlord group, and I don't know who is so short of money to rent out the house."

"It seems to be on the [-]th floor, the house bought by the nouveau riche."

After going down more than a dozen steps, the man suddenly said, "Maybe it's not rented, it's someone's little lover, or the little lover is dishonest and brought a fool with him."

The couple smiled at each other meanly.

Jiang Huan's gaze flickered over the back of the necks of the two of them.

After climbing the stairs, I heard no other movement. Jiang Huan hurriedly turned on the heater after returning home, and took off his coat when the room temperature came up. Each person had a cup of warm Qingtuan Longjing milk tea, leaned on the sofa, and swiped some short video software.

When I was hungry, I took out three small roast chickens from a chain supermarket, three servings of braised pork rice, three servings of beef soup, and some seasonal vegetables and side dishes.

The beef soup is delicious and chewy, and the two of them ate warmly.

There was a sudden buzz, the lights and the air conditioner beeped and turned off.

power failure?

Jiang Huan looked downstairs, the lights in the neighborhood were all off, and the snow was covered under the black curtain, it seemed that the years were peaceful.

Only the biting cold wind reminds us of the ruthlessness of the frozen world.

"Buzz~" The sound of the independent generator sounded quickly, and the lights in the public area downstairs were turned on again, but the residents' rooms still had no power.

Jiang Huan took out a small night light that didn't need to be plugged in from the space, worried that Jiang Xi would be afraid of the dark, so he put it on the table.

Downstairs, there is a property staff shouting with a loudspeaker that the power plant is already being repaired, but the time of the call is unknown, please keep warm.

They didn't use their cell phones, probably because they ran out of battery.

At the same time, there were crackling discussions in the community group.

"What's the situation, come together with water and electricity cut off?"

"Didn't you turn on the generator? Turn it on first. Our family, Lan Lan Qiuqiu, hasn't taken a shower yet."

"Taking a bath? I didn't hear that the water is going to run out. Hurry up and stock up on water."

The person whose profile picture is a kitten sent a voice: "My friend from the Meteorological Bureau said that the temperature has not bottomed out yet, and it may continue to drop in the future. Everyone must listen to the property management's reminder. It is best to take turns sleeping or set the alarm clock, stock up on water, stock up or Get fuel, whatever you do, do it now."

"Don't scare people. People like you like to shake people's hearts. What can you get from this? I don't believe how much the temperature can drop. The winter in the north is nothing more than that."

"That's all. It's best to take turns sleeping at night, or set the alarm clock. The neighborhood is freezing to death."

"Isn't it about global warming? Why is it so cold? Huh, I live alone and I can't take turns. I'm afraid. Is there any sister or brother? Let's sign up for a group to keep warm." Obviously, this person is probably living alone.

However, it is not wise to reveal that you are living alone so soon.

"Why is there an extra person in our building? Are you the new owner?" Jiang Huan was suddenly attacked.

She could only come out and say: "I'm a tenant, and I came out to live here. Who knew that this kind of thing would happen, I would have bought some food and put it on. Double the price!"

The reason why I post so many at once is to create an image of myself having nothing to eat and nothing to wear.

A few people comforted her, and a woman replied that they had just bought some food, and they could give her a bag of instant noodles and a few bottles of water, but they had to pay.

Jiang Huan immediately agreed, and found that it was Liu Ling who had told her about the death of two elderly people in the community.

Liu Ling chatted with Jiang Huan privately, and Jiang Huan immediately transferred the money, then walked downstairs, met him on the twelfth floor, and got five packs of instant noodles and three bottles of water.

The water froze to ice.

"Thank you, sister, I really don't know how to thank you."

"No, no, no, everyone has difficult times."

After parting, Jiang Huan's mobile phone went black in less than a minute.

The last news I saw was that there were other people who wanted to buy things from Liu Ling.

At three o'clock that night, an unknown family in the community screamed for help in the group: "Help, help, my Doudou is not moving, whoever has a car, take us to the hospital!"
