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

The appearance of the soldiers caused everyone in the building to rush to the balcony to watch and talk about it. After all, no one had entered the Bauhinia Community for a long time since the last time they saw soldiers distributing supplies.

However, there were not many speedboats this time, only six, but they were big enough.

"Dear citizens, we are from the Sixth Brigade of the Emergency Command Center. We are currently carrying out rescue work. Please send representatives from the community to cooperate with our subsequent rescue work."

After receiving the news, the property manager of the community immediately went down to the flooded corridor on the third floor, pulled out a speedboat with two property staff members, and then drove towards the rescue team.

The Sixth Detachment requires the property owner to provide the current living conditions of the entire property. Currently, the rescue center can arrange space for about 80 people in the Zijing community, among which priority must be given to users of low-rise residential buildings.

Property manager Liu was also very quick. In fact, he had already inquired from other property companies about the rescue center's admission conditions. It was said that the government's first batch of rescue targets would be people whose homes were destroyed or whose houses were submerged due to the flood, or vulnerable groups such as the elderly, the sick, the disabled, and pregnant women. The second batch would be low-level users close to the water level.

In the past few days, Manager Liu has classified and counted all the people who have moved into the Zijing community, including those who have rented houses. It can be said that he is the only one in the entire community who knows the current living conditions of every household.

However, there are a total of twelve buildings in the Zijing community, and the flood is currently on the third floor. The flood has also reached the stairs of the fourth floor, so the focus is on evacuating people on the third and fourth floors. However, he still wants to allocate as many places as possible to vulnerable groups, so he can only let the administrators of each group post messages and count the number of people.

This news immediately caused an uproar in the group. Some people were dissatisfied with the rescue efforts of the rescue center, while others said that even if they lived on the seventh floor, they felt that the flood would reach their floor sooner or later, and they also wanted to go to the rescue center.

Fortunately, the property manager has repeatedly assured that the rescue center will come every few days. He hopes that the owners in the community can help each other and that opportunities will be left to the vulnerable groups who really need them.

As a result, the 80 places included some elderly people, pregnant women and children living below the sixth floor, and two-thirds were residents on the third floor and some people on the fourth floor who had been affected by the disaster.

Residents above the sixth floor are not within the rescue range for the time being.

The owners of the high floors stood on their balconies, looking at the speedboats carrying people in yellow raincoats leaving, feeling a little envious and uneasy. They hoped to be rescued, but at the same time did not want the flood to really submerge their floors.

On the 46th day of the apocalypse, there is still no water in the community

People who don't have water at home have started to collect rainwater for use. The owners' group is still full of complaints, some people say they have stomachaches after drinking rainwater, and others say their bodies itch after taking a shower with rainwater. The owners' group is basically turning into a group to criticize the property management.

The typhoon has gradually weakened in the past few days, but the heavy rain continues. The flood has spread to the fourth floor, and the fifth floor is also in danger.

At present, people on the third and fourth floors can only be temporarily accommodated at the stairwells of each floor. Fortunately, there are two households per stairwell in the Zijing community, so it is not too crowded for people on the third and fourth floors to sleep at the stairwells. However, if the rain continues like this, according to the current speed of the flood rise, the two floors will be submerged within ten days. I heard that the upstream tributary city is preparing to release flood water recently, which means that Jiang City will face a flooding situation.

In the previous life, the water level in Jiangcheng rose to an unprecedented height due to flood discharge from the upstream city. However, after the flood discharge, all the floors below the seventh floor in the urban area were submerged within two days.

This means that the entire city will be without electricity and internet within two days. Two months after the natural disaster, people's hearts began to become scattered, the seeds of crime began to grow, all kinds of thefts emerged one after another, and there were even constant home robberies in the community. The malice of human nature was magnified to the maximum.

During this period, people from the government rescue center came again. Only residents below the seventh floor and the elderly, the weak, the sick, the disabled and pregnant women were eligible to leave with the rescue center's speedboats first, while those above the seventh floor still hoped that the heavy rain would stop before flooding their floors.

When a dozen speedboats were leaving, some residents on the seventh and eighth floors clamored for the leader to take them away. Everyone was crying and shouting, and as a result, the leader could only order the soldiers under him with red eyes to turn around and leave immediately.

Even though he felt sorry for it and wanted to rescue as many people as possible during the natural disaster, the rescue center had limited supplies and orders had been issued to only give priority to rescuing users on the lower floors. If the conditions were exceeded, the team leader would be held accountable.

Gu Tongwan stood on the balcony and watched the large speedboats packed with people leaving the community, without any emotion in his heart.

The rescue center was the beginning of a nightmare for her. In her previous life, she was slandered and looked down upon by everyone in this place. She would never go back to that place in this life.

Moreover, she knew very well that in her previous life, Jiangcheng started to set up rescue centers on the twentieth day of the rainstorm. A total of six rescue centers were set up, distributed in different places with less severe disasters, but all of them were located in the high-lying areas of Jiangcheng. The rescue center she went to at that time was the Jiangcheng Youth Olympic Stadium, which is also one of the largest indoor stadiums in China. The 120,000 square meter stadium received more than 300,000 citizens in half a month, which was 15 times higher than the actual standard of accommodating 20,000 people.

Moreover, in the sealed environment, the air was filled with all kinds of strange smells. The relief supplies for the first ten days were the same simple box lunches for three meals, which contained the same stir-fried winter melon with minced meat every day. On the tenth day, there was only a 500 ml bottle of mineral water, two pieces of compressed dry food and a packet of instant noodles.

Moreover, sanitary and medical conditions have not kept up, leading to the outbreak and infection of various diseases during the rainstorm. The first to have problems are the elderly and children, followed by people with various complications.

Especially during the later extreme heat periods, hundreds of bodies were carried out of the sports center in one day.

Turning back to the house, Gu Tongwan planned to catch up on some sleep. He stayed up late last night reading the books on planting that he had downloaded, and he wasn't in good spirits at the moment.

After getting up in the afternoon, I simply took out the pizza I had stockpiled from Country P from my space. The flavor was roasted beef, topped with slow-cooked cheese, and it had a thin crust. When I took a bite, I could feel the crispiness of the thin crust and the softness of the cheese.

Before they knew it, it was dark and Gu Tongwan returned to the bedroom.

Since the water supply was cut off, power rationing has continued. There are only a dozen or so working power base stations in the city, and electricity supply is becoming increasingly tight. Now, once night falls, the entire floor of the community is dark.

Those who had the means and had stockpiled candles had to light them, and light became the only thing that could warm people in the dark night. However, some families replaced the original chandeliers with portable table lamps that had been charged in advance. Looking out the window, there would be sporadic spots of light on other floors. Even so, these weak light sources still could not brighten up the Bauhinia community shrouded in darkness.

Gu Tongwan sat in the bedroom, drew the heavy curtains, turned on the bedside lamp that had been charged in advance, and opened her laptop, which contained a table of natural disasters that she had written down based on her memory of her previous life since her rebirth.

The red sun, heavy rain, extreme heat, mutated animals, extreme cold, acid rain, mutated plants, and even the mutants (zombies) that appeared at the end, these are the order in which they appeared in the previous life, but I don’t know whether the natural disasters in this life will change due to the butterfly effect.

After all, the red sun did not appear before this rainstorm.

Gu Tongwan turned his gaze to September 9.28, which is today.

At 10 o'clock tonight, the whole city will be without power for twelve hours due to a power system failure. Gu Tongwan called this day the "city-wide power outage."

This power outage is extremely inconvenient for most people, but it is an opportunity for Gu Tongwan. Her long-planned "zero-yuan shopping" is about to take place.

Even though the legal system has not completely collapsed yet, Jiangcheng fell two days later. All kinds of crimes increased at a rate of dozens of times a day, and the police were unable to suppress them. There were even cases of murder, robbery, fighting, injury, and bullying of vulnerable groups in the later period.

Some people also took advantage of the early days of the apocalypse to occupy the mountains and become kings, wanting to control the entire community. They even organized people to break into municipal units, and the entire social order fell apart.

She opened a map of the mall layout she had made on her computer. In the past month, she went to the department store every day and spent two hours each time to check out the place. She had already figured out the location of each counter on each floor.

Both the Bauhinia Department Store and the pedestrian street are located at the top of the terrain. They were said to be open for business last week. Only a week has passed and I don’t know whether they have been affected by the flood.

At this moment, the sound that I hadn't heard for a long time suddenly rang in my mind.
