Meng Yi and Chen Li walked around downstairs several times until they finally couldn't stand it anymore, so they slowly climbed the stairs to the 20th floor.

In extremely hot weather, climbing stairs is a life-threatening task, not to mention walking up and down 20 steps every day.

When Meng Yi and Chen Lida were patrolling the night before yesterday, they encountered people in the neighborhood next door who fainted and fell to death while climbing stairs due to the hot weather.

This incident reminded them that it was time to move. The supplies were not as important as the lives of the whole family. Besides, the two of them were now government patrollers. Is there really someone who was not afraid of death to snatch their supplies?

After figuring this out, the two of them went downstairs to look at the house.

There are still two houses on the third floor that are next to each other, but the locks on doors 301 and 304 next to them have signs of being picked.

In addition to the third floor, there is also a house on the second and first floors. If they don't live on the third floor, the two families will live separately.

Although it is not far from the first floor to the second floor, Meng Yi and Chen Li still want the two families to live on the same floor so that they can be taken care of.

Before going to work in the evening, the two families got together to discuss and both chose 302 and 303 on the third floor, because everyone felt that it was most important for the two families to live together.

As for the two houses next door, if they really broke in and took advantage of them, people from the government would naturally take care of them.

In the evening of the next day, Meng Yi took leave and went to the transaction office of the municipal government office with Chen Da. After some inquiries, they determined that the original owners of the two houses, 12 and 301, Building 304, District D, Changhong Community It is no longer there, and the government is not leasing it to anyone else.

Chen Da and Meng Yi looked at each other and knew in their hearts that those two houses had been broken into by someone.

After the two paid the rent for 302 and 303, they casually mentioned to the people at the trading office that there were people living in 301 and 304.

As for whether the government will send people to take care of it, that's not their business.

For Chen Da and Meng Yi now, as long as the two families next to them live in peace and quiet, they don't want to meddle in these nosy matters.

It was also the first time that the staff at the trading office heard that someone dared to pick the lock and jam it. They registered it and planned to report it to their superiors after get off work.

Nowadays, everyone's basic life is to stay up day and night. After paying off their points, Chen Da and Meng Yi were walking towards Changhong Community with flashlights.

Now there is a solar light installed by the government at the entrance of each community. It is not too dark for the two of them to walk home.

The temperature at night is much lower than during the day, and many people who have not gone out to work are already enjoying the cool weather at the entrance of the community.

Everyone moved out all the deck chairs and wooden stools at home. Some of the older ones even took out all the chess sets at home. It was too hot to sleep at home anyway, and there was still a bit of wind at the entrance of the community.

When Chen Da came in, he greeted several familiar residents one by one. Meng Yi was younger and didn't know many people along the way.

While everyone was outside enjoying the cool air, they hurried back to the 20th floor to move down the two public foot-operated generators and two solar panels.

While Chen Da and Meng Yi were moving things to 302 and 303, someone in 301 and 304 next door was peeking out through the peephole.

"Why is there suddenly someone living here?" 301 A short man stood on tiptoe and looked out through the peephole of the door.

"Let me take a look!" Another tall and thin man pushed the short man aside, just in time to see Chen Da and Meng Yi carrying the foot-operated generator down.

"These two families have good things! If we can get this small generator, the number of guests coming to our place will definitely double."

There were also people in 304 opposite looking out. They seemed to be more cautious, "Brother Huo! Do you think they will affect our business? Should we change places? There should be quite a lot of unoccupied houses like this!" "

"Many guests are used to coming here. It's troublesome to change places. Let's take a look! It's okay if the two families opposite are sensible. Otherwise, I don't mind letting them disappear. I originally wanted to use those two rooms to expand our The scale of the business, I didn’t expect them to get in first!”

Brother Huo took a long puff of the inferior cigarette in his hand and said.

Meng Yi and Chen Da in the corridor were covered in sweat from running up and down. Fortunately, the temperature dropped a lot this night, otherwise they would have suffered from heatstroke.

At 12 o'clock at night, Chen Li, Lu Mei and Shi Huan also got off work one after another. Several people came over to take a look at the house on the third floor. The layout was basically the same as that on the 20th floor, except that the floor was shorter and there was no security door outside.

It should be possible to make a temporary transition here. When the extreme heat passes, they still want to move back to the 20th floor.

At this point, the whole building suddenly became lively. Several families, like Lu Mei and others, worked at the breeding base and were just coming back from get off work.

It is said that several families set up stalls in Huayu Department Store. They also set up stalls at 12 o'clock in the evening and did not return until at night.

Since the extremely hot weather started, 12 o'clock at night is different from the normal 6 o'clock in the evening. Everyone has just got off work. Some buy groceries and go home to cook, and some go to pick up their children from cram school. In short, it is very lively. .

Although there is no need to go to the supermarket to buy food or go out to pick up the children, most people still have to get something to eat. After going out to work for 8 hours, it is too hot during the day and I have no appetite. Now I am hungry and my chest is pressed against my back. .

Those who have formal jobs and those who set up their own stalls have some points, so they can usually buy some rice, noodles and vegetables.

It was almost 20 o'clock in the morning when the people on the 2th floor finished moving their things. Chen Da was the last one to lock the security door outside. Then he planned to go up every now and then to check to make sure his house was not broken into.

"Come on! I just steamed a pot of potatoes and sweet potatoes in the rice cooker. Everyone, come over and eat some!"

The two families are still in the living room of Lu Mei's house. The solar panels have been placed on the roof for a day today. There is absolutely no problem in using an electric fan to maintain the battery's power.

The pedal generator is now placed at Lu Mei's house. There are two other families living on the third floor. There is no anti-theft door on the corridor security door, so no one really dares to put the generator in the corridor.

This pedal generator is a good thing. Although the power generation is not as strong as those large diesel generators, it can generate electricity using human power. Usually, Meng Yi and Chen Li only need to pedal for two hours after get off work, while the two families behind them sleep with the electric fan blowing. There will be no problem until dawn.

Today, Shi Huan also saw a car-mounted small refrigerator at an official trading point. It only cost 2000 points. She and Meng Yi's two-month salary added up to 2600 points. It would be no problem to buy one.

At that time, you can make some iced mung bean paste, and you can also freeze the water to drink.

"Aunt Lu, this sweet potato of yours is so sweet. The one I bought last time was not good. If it wasn't sweet, it would still be too old. It tasted like it had too many stems."

Shi Yingying said while facing the electric fan and chewing on the fragrant sweet potatoes.

"Then you can take some back to eat later. I bought a lot!"

A few people planned to fill their stomachs and continue cleaning the houses. These houses had not been occupied for a long time, and a thick layer of dust had accumulated.

"Dong dong dong! Dong dong dong!"

At this moment, Lu Mei and others felt the sound of someone talking and moving in the corridor.

It's already three o'clock in the morning, why is there anyone busier than them moving? Most people would have gone to bed by this time!
