Apocalyptic natural disaster, stock up with billions of supplies to survive
Chapter 143 Fighting the Fire on the Rooftop
Following the explosion just now, several smaller explosions were heard one after another within a few seconds.
Hearing these smaller explosions behind her, Han Ying suddenly woke up.
It is normal for these sounds to be smaller. It should be that someone's air conditioner is broken on the floor below.
What about the first explosion that woke her up just now?
She was still in a daze just now, but she also clearly heard that the sound was quite loud, and it seemed to be coming from upstairs.
It was the distribution box on the roof that exploded!
The remaining thermal insulation film they had previously put on their home was not only attached to the outdoor unit of the air conditioner, but also a part of it was attached to the distribution box on the roof.
But the temperature has been rising day by day.
Even if the insulation film is applied, the distribution box is not sealed.
Coupled with direct sunlight and overloaded use of electricity, it is only a matter of time before it burns down.
Han Ying stood up, quickly put on a one-piece thermostatic suit, and then put on a thin T-shirt and trousers.
Then he put on his heat-insulating hat and sunglasses, took out a bottle of dry powder fire extinguisher from the space, quickly opened the door and walked out.
As soon as Han Ying walked out of the house, she saw Lu Yuan also dressed up and walking out carrying a fire extinguisher.
The Lei Minghu family next door also opened their entrance door.
"Is it upstairs?"
Lei Minghu was the first to ask.
"It's probably true. Brother Lei, we have fire extinguishers on hand. Please pay attention to the downstairs first. It seems that someone's air conditioner has blown up."
Han Ying and Lu Yuan both had thermostats and insulated hats. If the temperature reached the rooftop without thermostats, they would definitely become dehydrated in less than two minutes.
Opening the doors one by one, Han Ying and Lu Yuan arrived at the rooftop.
Han Ying took out two pairs of fire insulation boots, one large and one small, from the space.
Lu Yuan didn't ask any questions and just put it on.
When we walked to the rooftop, the fire was quite strong, and there were occasional crackling sounds.
Most of the two distribution boxes were burned out.
Fortunately, when they installed the photovoltaic panels, they deliberately avoided the location of the distribution box.
There were still several meters between the two sides, so they were not affected.
The two of them pointed the dry powder fire extinguisher directly at the distribution box and sprayed it wildly.
The fire was quickly put out. The two checked again and found that there were no sparks, so they put away the fire extinguisher.
Before leaving the rooftop, Han Ying filled the building's water room with water.
There is a water room on the rooftop, but now there is no water in the water room.
The water they use now is delivered directly from the water company, and the water flow is very, very small.
But if there is water in the water room, the water can also flow out from their faucets.
Han Ying hoards a lot of water, and she doesn't mind giving others a little water when appropriate.
But the prerequisite is that those people cannot know that the water was released by themselves.
After putting away the water, the two of them put their shoes back on at the top of the stairs and then went downstairs.
“What happened to the exploding air conditioner downstairs?”
After going downstairs and seeing Lei Minghu coming up from downstairs, Han Ying asked.
"It's on the 16th, 15th, and 7th floors. The fire has been put out."
"Several households around them took out all the water they had stored for a long time to put out the fire, and are now crying down there."
In this kind of weather, you need to drink several liters of water every day, otherwise you will easily get dehydrated and suffer from heat stroke.
The number of people who have recently died of heat stroke is increasing every day.
Some of them were reported after their deaths and were soon dragged away by officials.
Some are alone, or cannot contact the authorities, and there are also many who directly stink at home.
Water is more precious than food in extreme heat.
But the water flow is just a little bit, who doesn't treat that little bit of water like something else?
But now in order to put out the fire, the water has to be taken out. Who doesn't feel sad?
It's not an exaggeration to say it's meat cutting.
But if they don't take it out, they will bear the brunt of the fire, and the fire will definitely spread to their homes next door, and the fire may not be extinguished even with a little water.
Many people also asked about the explosion upstairs, and Lei Minghu also told about the explosion in the distribution box.
But everyone actually guessed it, because there was no electricity at home.
Although the entire building was out of power, the water flow became much stronger for some unknown reason.
This actually gave the people in this building some comfort.
The size of this water flow allows each household to receive a few more buckets of water today.
He Xiu, the neighbor next door, noticed the increase in water flow and quickly told their two neighbors the news.
Ask them to hurry in and see if the bucket is full, and to change the bucket in time to avoid letting the water drain away in vain.
They both nodded and went home.
Today's temperature is much higher than yesterday. Han Ying just used a thermometer to measure it before leaving the rooftop.
It’s 57 degrees Celsius!
With such a high temperature, without electricity, even the fan is useless, and the whole house is like an oven.
Where can I stay?
The few windows in most people's homes are covered with thick curtains and patchwork clothes to block the strong light.
But these ordinary fabrics can only block the dazzling light at best, but they can't withstand the high temperature outside at all.
Of course, some people hang coated fabrics on their windows to block glare.
This kind of fabric was also sold by the official before, but the quantity was too small.
Many people simply can't get it.
However, many parasols used by girls in the past were made of coated fabric.
So many people took apart their umbrellas, cut the few pieces of fabric on them, and pieced together a membrane that could block the windows.
However, even if it can block some of the high temperature that penetrates through the window.
It can't block the heat from the direct sunlight hitting the wall.
Less than half an hour after the power outage, many people couldn't stand it anymore and quickly headed to the underground parking garage with food, water and mats.
While no one else is going down yet, go get a good spot first.
But when they came to the underground garage, they found that there were already many people inside.
Although it is not crowded, it is not easy to find a suitable location.
Today's sudden rise in temperature caused circuit problems in several buildings and led to strikes.
But looking at the increasing number of people in the underground parking lot, it is obvious that this is not a good place to escape the heat.
There is not much air circulation in the underground parking lot. So many people were squeezed in at once, and you can imagine how depressing it is.
Under such extreme circumstances, many people couldn't help but cry.
Crying is contagious, especially in such a living environment where there is no future at all.
Soon the entire underground parking lot was filled with faint sounds of sobbing.
Even many young adults secretly wiped away tears.
