It's raining heavily outside, and everyone can basically accept it. They can stay at home and not go out. If possible, they can work from home. If not, they are forced to go out to work. Except for players and those who suffered from the flood yesterday, everyone still maintains the normal lifestyle of the past.
However, power outages have a great impact on modern social life.
Li Sa has rarely experienced power outages since she was a child. Except for the lights-off control at night when she is in school and dormitory, turning off the lights does not hinder the use of mobile phones, and the air conditioner in the dormitory can also be used.
Nowadays, many businesses are inseparable from electricity and are closely related to residents' lives. One or two hours without electricity can be tolerated. A power outage lasting more than a day will make many people feel at a loss and feel so uneasy that they can no longer do the work at hand.
When it rains heavily, people can only stay indoors and play with mobile phones without electricity. Sooner or later, mobile phones will run out of battery. It's dark outside, there's a lack of lighting indoors, and there's no way to read or write. It's likely that most companies will just take the holidays where they are.
There are no 100-meter high-rise office buildings around here, and the highest is only an old-fashioned office building with about six floors. In fact, it is not bad. There is no elevator due to power outage, so it is still easy to go up and down the stairs.
If it's like the newly built hotel in the city center, it's 100 meters high. Once the power goes out, it will be difficult for people living on the upper floors to get down. Water pumps cannot be used after a power outage, which means water outages are inevitable.
After the power supply was restored to the bungalow, the water in the water tank was replenished. As long as the municipal pipe network was not damaged, it could continue to support it for a while.
In his last life, Li Saguang knew that he must live in a high place, so he went to a high-rise hotel that looked new and luxurious. He even paid extra money to choose a higher room. He thought he was fully prepared, but he didn't expect that the place was so golden. The outside was in ruins, and the rain had only fallen for more than a week, and it actually collapsed.
There was a power outage in the entire building before the collapse. At that time, there was municipal water supply on the ground floor. People living higher up did not have water for washing. They had to carry buckets downstairs to pick them up every day. They also had to carry heavy buckets when walking up and down the stairs. There was no elevator. Sitting, life is very difficult.
Returning to the west gate, Director Li opened the community gate. The driver pulled the car directly to an attached building below the bungalow, where the backup generator was located.
Although this equipment room was flooded yesterday, Director Li and the others rushed to repair it in the morning and wiped down the relevant equipment, and the room was relatively dry. There is a special place where oil is stored, and fire-proof and flame-retardant shielding is set up. There were originally some oil barrels stacked here, but Li Tianya donated another 30 barrels of diesel this time, and they were all unloaded and placed here.
When unloading, Li Sa also helped transport the oil barrels. When the last barrel of diesel was stacked, both she and Li Tianya's terminal received a notification that the task was completed.
Li Sa secretly glanced at the reward: [Congratulations to the host for over completing the hidden task and earning 22 points. 】
She currently has 70 points for saving people. Adding the points from this hidden mission, she already has 92 points. Li Tianya said that he got 25 points for the task, but he didn't say what the total points were.
All the diesel fuel was bought by Li Tianya. Li Sa only coordinated the transportation and helped with loading and unloading. Her contribution rating was lower than that of Li Tianya, but she could still accept it. Otherwise, if a poor person like her wants to complete the task, she can only "purchase it for zero yuan", which is too risky.
The driver asked where to put the barrels of gasoline in the car, and Li Tianya asked him to unload them into the elevator hall of the bungalow first, and then ask Li Sa to help them take them upstairs together.
The driver won't casually ask the owner about his privacy, why he bought so much gasoline and delivered it upstairs. As long as he doesn't need to help himself, he is naturally happy. After unloading, the driver drove away.
When they came back, Director Li said that the villa area does not have power supply all the time during the day. The current negotiation with the owner is that the power supply will be from 7 pm to 23 pm and from 8 am to 11 am in the future.
During the daytime power limit period, the elevator in the bungalow is open to facilitate the owners' access.
Li Sa and Li Tianya first moved the gasoline into the elevator car, then went up to the 4th floor, and moved it into 402. The two of them joined hands and completed the trip.
Back at 402, they saw that Zhou Ming's bedroom was open and no one was inside.
Li Sa had already guessed this, and Zhou Ming probably left them to do other things. Li Tianya was a little uneasy and asked, "Is something going to happen to Brother Zhou?"
"What can happen to him? Let's not get confused and just stock up here. At least there won't be water here. Brother Zhou can always have something to eat and drink when he comes back."
Li Tianya nodded: "That's right. He has the key here. We asked for three keys in total when renting a house. Do you want to keep one?"
Li Sa unceremoniously took the key to 402 and said, "The scheming girl in Building 2 in Area C has been staring at your villa. It's not convenient to get the generator. It's better to go there at night."
"Maybe Brother Zhou will get the things back easily." Li Tianya retained Mengxin's positivity and optimism.
Li Sa said, "Brother Zhou would have gone if he wanted to go. He said he would wait until night before, but he just didn't want to go. I think he had something to hide from us, and it was inconvenient for him to directly connect with more players, so he took us in. . If we have to deal with other people head-on in the future, we may still do it."
Li Tianya thought about it carefully and agreed with this conjecture. At first, he thought Zhou Ming was interested in his money, took him in, and asked him to pay for supplies. Now it seems that Zhou Ming, who is very capable and powerful, probably doesn't need to spend any money on whatever materials he wants to get. So it's possible that he has a more complicated mission or is avoiding someone, so he needs other teammates.
Zhou Ming didn't say anything, and they didn't dare to ask, but the two of them had reached a certain consensus at this time, at least not to hinder the boss. When the boss is away, they try to stay at home and avoid causing trouble.
Li Sa was busy from morning to afternoon and no longer wanted to go out in the rain.
Since the big boss was not here, she focused on her own needs first, taking advantage of the water to take a shower and change clothes, making full use of the washing and drying machine in the room to dispose of her only two clothes.
In the living room, there were replacement clothes bought by Li Tianya and the others, a large pile of men's quick-drying underwear. Li Sa didn't choose, found a set, unpacked it and changed into it.
Zhou Ming and Li Tianya were both tall and tall over 180cm, and the clothes they bought had of course long arms and legs, so Li Sa had no choice but to roll up her sleeves, roll up her trouser legs, and tie them with rubber bands as a temporary solution. The movements were skillful, as if she had often worn such inappropriate clothes before.
Li Tianya was dumbfounded and asked: "Xiao Li, are you also short of money in the real world? You can tell that you know how to get by, and you don't care much about food and clothing."
Li Sa smiled and said: "That's right. You can work and earn money and spend it yourself. You can feed yourself and the whole family will not be hungry. How about you, how many servants do Master Li have at home?"
Li Tianya laughed at himself: "When I was a child, my father started a business, and it was my mother who took me along. Finally, my father became rich, but my mother died of illness. My biological father married my stepmother, so I lost my biological father. When I was 14 years old, I went abroad to study on my own. I went. They just send me money. If I don’t call them during holidays, they will definitely not ‘bother’ me.”
No wonder Li Tianya doesn't have the rebelliousness and arrogance of a wealthy young man. Instead, he has a high emotional intelligence and is considerate. It turns out that he left home at such a young age and had to do everything by himself. Money can indeed solve many things, but the need for family and affection cannot be bought with money. This rich young man who always has a smile on his face is really a bit pitiful.
Suddenly, Li Sa's terminal rang. There are only two friends added to this terminal, one is Li Tianya in front of me, and the other is Zhou Ming.
Did Zhou Ming summon her for something? Anyway, it won't be the boss who calls her to help when something happens.
