Reborn in the end of the world, I scavenged in the empty city and bought for free

The water supply in Zijing Community was cut off without prior notice. When Gu Tongwan got up in the morning and wanted to wash up, he turned on the faucet and found that there was no water.

I glanced at the socket of the water dispenser opposite and saw that the light was still on, so I knew that the power supply was still normal and there was only a water outage.

So he quietly picked up the cement that had been placed in the living room and went to the bathroom to do the filling work to prevent the flood from flowing back into the water pipes after the water outage.

The owners' group here suddenly exploded, and they were all frantically tagging the property management, wanting them to explain why there was no notice for the water outage, and why they cut off the water without any notice, causing water shortages for families and making it difficult to even cook porridge in the morning.

The property management was also helpless and could only say that they had not received any notice from the water supply plant to cut off the water supply. They had already called the other party and the water supply plant explained that it was the city government's request. Long-term heavy rains caused flooding, and the water sources in the rivers near the water plant had been polluted. The water level rose to the height of the water plant's treatment workshop. The water plant was unable to handle the dirty flood, so it had to temporarily stop operating.

Not only that, the entire Jiangcheng's water supply network has been severely damaged by the flood, resulting in water outages in 70 percent of the city. If the heavy rain continues, the entire Jiangcheng will face water outages within half a month.

Fortunately, Gu Tongwan had already filled the bucket and bathtub with water last night. The water could be used for washing hair and bathing for about ten days. For drinking water, she took two 18L barrels of water from the space, which saved water purification tablets.

People in the group have already started to complain. The mineral water in several convenience stores in the community was sold out on the first day of the water outage. Even the only remaining store that sold bottled water raised the price of a bucket of water from ten yuan to one hundred yuan. The price of a brand of bottled water that cost more than thirty yuan rose to three hundred yuan.

There was no water outage a few days ago, and the owner of the bottled water shop was jealous of several small shops making a lot of money. The current water outage just suits his needs. There are still more than 300 barrels of water in the store. If the price of each brand ranges from more than 100 to 300 yuan, he can make a net profit of at least tens of thousands of yuan. He doesn't have to worry about others accusing him of taking advantage of the fire. In this special period, water resources are already tight. A pack of instant noodles in a convenience store sells for more than 20 yuan. What's wrong with him selling a barrel of water for 100 yuan?

It was just as he thought. Although the price was outrageous, people still came to buy water in an endless stream. Some people bought ten buckets of water at once, and ended up being scolded by the people behind them.

Jiang Tian and Jiang Chi were also among the crowd rushing to buy water. Both of them went to Building 2 in the rain to buy water. Jiang Chi carried two buckets by himself, and Jiang Tian held a bucket in front of him. Even so, many people were still jealous. After all, there were dozens of people behind him who couldn't squeeze into the store. Some people even wanted to stop Jiang Tian from buying water, but they were blocked by Jiang Chi's tall body. They could only curse but didn't dare to continue to pester him.

However, the owner of the water seller was also very cunning. He deliberately asked the property owner privately when the water supply would be restored. As a result, the property owner was embarrassed and said he didn't know.

The next day, the owners who wanted to continue buying water found that the water seller had closed the shop. There was a notice on the door saying that all bottled water was sold out.

However, the truth is that the water seller secretly moved the remaining 30 barrels of water in the store from the second floor to the thirteenth floor at two o'clock in the middle of the night with his wife and son. They did it so secretly that no one dared to know. As a result, the three of them made seven or eight trips back and forth before they finished.

Thirty buckets of water are enough for his family of three for at least three or four months. Rainwater is enough for bathing and washing face anyway. He has made a net profit of 50,000 or 60,000 yuan these days. It is better for him to use the remaining water himself. Who knows what will happen in the future?

Gu Tongwan didn't go downstairs to buy water. At this time, she would rather stay at home. Anyway, she was not short of water, so there was no need to go through the trouble of buying a few buckets of water.

She had just moved in and not many people knew her, not to mention that most of them were from a different building. If she went out to buy water rashly, who knew if she would be targeted? It would be safer for her to stay at home like a quail and reduce the chances of showing up.

While browsing the Moments in the house, I found a message from Zhang Youfan on WeChat Moments for a fundraising campaign. It turned out that Zhu Xuechang from the same village had his self-built mud house collapse in the middle of the night due to days of heavy rain, causing serious injuries to his wife and children. He is currently being treated in the hospital, but due to the severity of his injuries he is still in the intensive care unit. The treatment costs at least thousands of yuan a day, which has put the Zhu family, who have been farmers for three generations, into a difficult situation.

However, we also learned from the circle of friends that Xiaoxi Village did not suffer from waterlogging due to its high terrain. Only a few self-built earthen houses close to the mountain were destroyed by mudslides, including Zhu Xuechang's home.

Xiaoxi Village was not rich to begin with, but Zhang Youfan, as the village chief, still organized the entire village to make donations. The hundreds of households in the village only raised more than 50,000 yuan, which was not even enough to cover half of the medical expenses.

Just when Zhang Youfan was having a headache, suddenly there was a transfer of more than 80,000 yuan on WeChat. It was transferred by Gu Tongwan. Basically, she had no money left after transferring all this. However, there was basically no place to spend money in the apocalypse, so she didn't feel bad.

Zhang Youfan called personally, and the person on the other end said softly that since they would all be from the same village in the future, it was impossible for her to watch the villagers of Xiaoxi Village in trouble without lending a helping hand, but her personal ability was limited, so she couldn't help too much, and could only help if she had a little extra money during this period.

Zhang Youfan had complicated feelings. He didn't expect that after three or four days of Shuidichou, the one who continued to help the most was this little girl.

This matter was soon known to other villagers in Xiaoxi Village. Except for a few who were jealous of Gu Tongwan's stupidity and wealth, most people were impressed by Gu Tongwan's assistance. In particular, Zhu Xuechang, who received help, personally asked for Gu Tongwan's phone number and made several calls to express his gratitude. His tone was extremely excited. After all, this money could save the lives of his wife and children.

In fact, Gu Tongwan is not a saint with overflowing love. The reason why she does this is entirely for the sake of having a foothold in Xiaoxi Village in the future. She will need to live back in Xiaoxi Village for a period of time in the future. For this extremely clique-based and xenophobic village, everything she does now is based on a certain purpose.

She needed the villagers of Xiaoxi Village to accept her, or at least not be too wary of her. This way it would be easier for her to handle other things in the village in the future.

And you should know that adding icing on the cake is far less memorable than helping someone in need.

Gu Tongwan also began to think about it. Xiaoxi Village currently has self-built houses with yards totaling about 100 square meters, and more than 300 square meters of private land, totaling more than 400 square meters. By then, she can get land equivalent to 400 square meters from the base for building houses. Her plan is to build a 80-square-meter flat with two bedrooms and one living room, and use the remaining land of about 100 square meters to grow some vegetables, and plant a few fruit trees in the yard.

This way the area is not too small, and Aoao and Tutu can have fun in it.

After having a preliminary plan in mind, Gu Tongwan suddenly felt that his investment of 80,000 yuan was really worth it.

At this time, in the Zijing community, the property management had just received some bad news: the power restriction period would be extended and electricity supply would become increasingly tight.
