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

On the seventh day of the heavy rain, the rain showed no sign of abating and the typhoon was still raging. The original level 6 gale rose to level 8, directly destroying many trees and vegetation on the street.

All the billboards and LED screens along the road crashed onto the road and the entrances of shops, and cars parked on the roadside were blown around by the wind.

The waterlogging situation in Jiangcheng has become increasingly serious. The water in some low-lying communities has already reached calf height, and the water levels of rivers have risen.

The normal lives of millions of people in the city were affected by the sudden rainstorm, but some people are still on the front line fighting floods and rescuing people. Armed police, police and various civilian volunteers have joined in the rescue work.

The news reported that this large-scale rainfall affected not only China, but also more than two-thirds of the countries in the world.

As many as one hundred cities across China were affected by Typhoon Butterfly, and most of the severely damaged cities were in the southern coastal areas. A Category 4 tsunami was even seen, with waves as high as 30 meters. The coastal provincial capital of Honglin City was completely turned into an ocean after two tsunamis. No buildings above the seventh floor were spared. It was also the first provincial capital city in China to suffer the most severe damage from the typhoon.

Jiangcheng is an inland city, geographically far away from the sea, so the initial damage was not serious. At least most of the hydropower base stations in the area are still operating normally.

During this period, all the news broadcasts on TV were about the city government leadership team deploying various disaster relief work, timely booking rescue plans, and ensuring the safety of people's lives and property, interspersed with various disaster relief news.

Public broadcasting is also reporting on the current disaster relief and rescue work across the country. Even so, the losses caused by the heavy rain are unpredictable.

The typhoon in Jiangcheng posed a great obstacle to the rescue work. Even when the flooding situation was not the most serious, the level 10 gale could directly blow the cars away. Even when it was reduced to level 7 or 8, the cars were still shaking on the road.

All businesses and municipal units were shut down, and more than 90% of shops and entertainment clubs temporarily stopped operating. A small number of shopping malls and supermarkets remained open to the public at the request of government departments, but the business hours were changed to 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. At one point, supermarkets were flooded with citizens who braved the heavy rain to buy.

For people living in residential areas far away from supermarkets, everyone can only stay indoors in this kind of weather. Fortunately, most families have the habit of stockpiling rice and noodles, so at least there is no food shortage for now.

There is no shortage of rice and flour, but raw meat and vegetables are still not available. We can't all stay at home and eat white rice and porridge.

The Internet is now full of various help posts about buying raw meat, vegetables, fruits, etc., but there are also a small number of posts asking for rice, flour, grain and oil.

Similarly, typhoons also prevented the elderly from rushing to the supermarket to buy things.

Day 10 of the End of the World

The garage on the underground first floor of the community finally collapsed, and the property management finally gave up after sending staff to drain the water several times.

Due to continuous heavy rain, rainwater continued to pour in from the slope of the parking lot. At present, the water in the parking lot has reached the calf.

The owners' group was discussing the situation of the rainstorm. Most people were complaining that they couldn't go out to buy food in this weather. Only noodles and rice were left at home. All the vegetables and raw meat were cooked, and they had been eating white rice for three consecutive days.

Others complained that their newly bought luxury cars were soaked in water. When they went to the parking lot yesterday to start the car, they found that the parking lot was almost a flood and the car could no longer be started. The car would most likely be scrapped after the flood receded. They were so distressed and angry that they directly tagged the property management, saying that they were getting paid but not doing their job and that the drainage work was not done properly.

The property management company, under pressure, sent people to take the risk and buy a batch of vegetables and raw meat. The car they drove was the small minibus that the property management company had used for team-building activities before. They dared to drive out only when the typhoon was a little smaller. It is said that the car was drifting on the road during the typhoon, and several people who went out almost thought they would die on the road.

Fortunately, the things were bought. When I left, I mentioned that there are only a few large supermarkets still open in Jiangcheng. Among them, the nearest Bauhinia Department Store is still open for business, but the security is much stricter. Everyone entering needs to register their ID card, and there is also a time limit for shopping.

Due to the difficulties in transporting and transferring food during the rainstorm, the prices of various foods have increased compared to before.

Those who got the news in the property owners' group were suddenly excited, and they all asked about the property prices, how much one person could buy, whether there were purchase restrictions, which supermarket they bought it from, and what kind of car could withstand the raging typhoon in the current weather outside.

The property management cannot explain the specific prices, so we can only ask everyone to go to the second-floor sky garden of each building 1 at : am to find out the specific prices.

This caused dissatisfaction among all the people in Building 2. They said that there was a distance of meters between each building. It would be fine if it rained lightly, but now it was a typhoon day, and everyone who went out in the rain became soaked.

As a result, the property management did not respond. I guess they were too lazy to argue with the owner. It’s always right to pretend to be dead now, and no one is forcing you to buy anything.

Jiang Tian from room 1602 was also in the owners’ group. She had been a lurker before this. As soon as she saw that she could buy groceries and it was almost half past ten, she immediately grabbed her phone and wanted to take the elevator down. But then she remembered that it was still a power-rationing period, so she could only turn around and run towards the stairs in her slippers.

His brother went to the convenience store in the next building to buy things, and she couldn't stay at home alone, so she would definitely have to stock up on more meat.

Everyone was complaining in the group, but when Jiang Tian went down to the small sky garden on the second floor, she was frightened by the sea of ​​heads in front of her.

Good guy, he said he wouldn’t buy it, but his body was quite honest.
