There is only one week left in June, and the entire southern part of China has been affected by typhoons. Due to the impact of double typhoons in Xiangcheng, the number of casualties is increasing day by day.
Most families lacked food due to the typhoon. The water plant was blown down by the typhoon, and the domestic water sources were also polluted. The tap water at home turned dark yellow.
"Yuanyuan, do you have a water basin? I want to catch some rainwater on the balcony." He Yuehua came to Chen Yuanyuan's house early in the morning to borrow a water basin.
He Yuehua had always been worried that Chen Yuanyuan's ability to retrieve things from afar would affect her health, but the tap water was too polluted, so she had no choice but to ask Chen Yuanyuan for supplies.
"Take me to your storage room, the stuff is a bit big." Chen Yuanyuan had stocked up on water early in the morning, and now is the time to use it.
He Yuehua and Chen Yuanyuan came to the storage room of 1202. Chen Yuanyuan placed three one-ton water storage cylinders in an open space. Two were filled with water earlier, and the remaining one was an empty water cylinder with an environmental protection logo sprayed on it.
"I have prepared a lot of water, but I have to use it sparingly. You can put some recyclable domestic sewage into this tube and use it to mop the floor and flush the toilet later." Chen Yuanyuan took out two siphon water pipes and a few more A plastic portable bucket for He Yuehua.
"Okay, then I usually catch more rainwater to wash my clothes." He Yuehua said.
"There will be a power outage in a while, or now..." Chen Yuanyuan was about to take out the gasoline and generator.
"Let's take it in a few days. We took so many things today." He Yuehua clutched Chen Yuanyuan's hand heartbrokenly and found that her palm was cold.
"I'm fine. I'll do what I can." Chen Yuanyuan's health was fine, but she just passed her menstrual period and lacked blood.
Then Chen Yuanyuan also went to 1201. When she was storing gasoline, Zhang Linlin had also stocked up on more than a dozen tubes. Chen Yuanyuan had not yet collected them, so she put away the water tubes and generator and that was it.
Seeing that it was almost lunch time, Chen Yuanyuan had a casual meal at Zhang Linlin's house.
"Yuanyuan, don't worry. I've been practicing my cooking skills at home recently, and the dishes I cook now are delicious." Zhang Linlin served the last dish.
Three home-cooked dishes were placed on the table, fried pork slices with lettuce, steamed egg custard and cold preserved eggs.
Although there are regular supplies from Chen Yuanyuan on the twelfth floor, everyone knows that supplies are scarce and only occasionally cooks more dishes. Under the current circumstances, the food is considered good.
"Yes, I haven't had diarrhea recently, so feel free to eat!" Liu Feiyang took out the rice with a smile.
"Hmph, I'll take care of you later!"
Under the laughter of the three people, they began to eat.
Chen Yuanyuan took a bite of the egg custard first. Although the surface was steamed and bumpy, the texture and taste were not bad.
"Next time, just put a layer of plastic wrap on it and steam it to make it look more attractive." Chen Yuanyuan said.
"Hey, we just ran out, you can try this dish." Zhang Linlin gave Chen Yuanyuan a chopstick of stir-fried meat with lettuce.
"Huh? Isn't this lettuce?" Chen Yuanyuan took a bite. The melon was similar in shape to lettuce, but the taste was slightly different from lettuce, with a bit more sweetness.
"Hey, can't you guess? This is watermelon peel!" Zhang Linlin said with a smile.
Two days ago, when Chen Yuanyuan was picking out the fruit, Zhang Linlin took half a watermelon. Zhang Linlin remembered that her hometown also used watermelon rinds for cooking, so she peeled it off and tried it.
"Can watermelon rind be used for cooking? It's pretty good." Chen Yuanyuan took another bite of the fried meat with watermelon rind, which felt quite refreshing.
"In my hometown, we call this watermelon green, and we usually save it for stir-fried pork." Liu Feiyang is also from Guizhou Province. Although he and Zhang Linlin are in different cities, their taste is similar.
"It's quite good to eat two melons like this." Chen Yuanyuan praised.
"It has more than two uses. The outermost crusty flowers are dried. I heard it can also clear away heat, detoxify and prevent heatstroke." Zhang Linlin said.
"The watermelon is really a treasure. Come to my house later and get one to eat!" Chen Yuanyuan doesn't have many watermelons in his space. It seems that he will plant more in the black soil farmland.
"Yuanyuan, why do you have so much food at home..." Liu Feiyang couldn't help but wanted to ask Chen Yuanyuan why there was a constant supply of food.
"You can eat it if you want." Zhang Linlin nudged Liu Feiyang with her elbow to tell him not to ask any more questions.
"Okay, let's eat and eat!" Liu Feiyang didn't ask further. After all, everyone has their own secrets. It's enough to know that Chen Yuanyuan is doing it for their own good.
After lunch, Chen Yuanyuan returned to 1203 and lay leisurely on the bed playing with her mobile phone.
Opening the news website, after days of pulling and pulling, Typhoon Luoshen not only did not consume a bit, but was also swallowed up by Zhu Rong, who joined later, and merged with each other into one.
The Observatory reported that after the merger of the two typhoons, the wind speed, pressure and width have surpassed the 1979 Hurricane Type in the United States, becoming the strongest hurricane in world history.
The government will set up additional relief stations in the 18 districts of Xiangcheng to receive homeless people. Some social welfare groups will also spend their own money to distribute lunches and supplies to children and elders over 65 years old at designated locations.
Although the government and all walks of life have begun to take action, there is an endless stream of news in the newspapers about house invasions, robberies, and murders. Some police officers were even surrounded by gangsters while chasing criminals, and their guns were robbed.
Chen Yuanyuan frowned when she saw the news. Although Xiangcheng has become prosperous and stable under the leadership of the motherland, the issue of police officers being equipped with guns has only increased instability.
Xiangcheng has strict regulations on police shooting. Even if it is legal, as long as a gun is drawn, a report must be written. If a bullet is fired, a hearing must be held. If the gun is not passed, disciplinary action will be taken.
Therefore, ordinary police officers are unwilling to shoot casually. As a result, in many cases, guns only have a deterrent effect, allowing criminals to take advantage of them.
After closing the news app, Chen Yuanyuan was about to watch a movie when bursts of screams and screams came from outside the window.
Chen Yuanyuan opened the curtains and saw that the sound was coming from Building 6 opposite. Except for the occasional running figure in the window, it was impossible to observe what was happening from the outside.
Chen Yuanyuan opened the group in Building 2, and many people also noticed the situation in Building 6, and they suddenly became panicked.
[704 Mr. Fang: Do you know what’s going on in Building 6? 】
[402 Mrs. Zhao: I can’t see Building 6 from here, but I seem to hear people calling for help]
[803 Aunt Huang: I have a friend who lives in Building 6. I sent him a message today but he didn’t get a reply]
[1002 Mrs. Yu: I just contacted the building manager of Building 6 and the phone is turned off. I don’t know what’s going on]
[504 Mr. Xiao: I just saw a woman opposite the window with blood on her face shouting for help, and then she was dragged into the house! Do you want to call the police? 】
⋯⋯
Chen Yuanyuan watched the news explode in the group, and quickly asked them in the group on the 12th floor to pay attention to the information around them.
Shen Yichen also saw the group in Building 2 and immediately called Chen Yuanyuan. After learning that Chen Yuanyuan was safe, he told her not to go out casually and to have kitchen knives ready to protect herself at all times.
Although Chen Yuanyuan was not in Fairview Garden in her previous life, she also guessed that once unrest began, the entire community would gradually move into the abyss like a domino effect.
