Surviving the end of the world

It rained for another three days before it stopped, and the sun came out somewhat obscurely. Many people breathed a sigh of relief. After all, the water was already receding. According to this speed, traffic would be able to resume after a day.Of course, there are still a few other cities that are still submerged in water, but for the people in City N, it's nothing more than to let themselves feel psychologically balanced.

More photos emerged online, of dead animals floating in the water, fish pulled out of the water by children, vehicles badly damaged by soaking in water, and corroded, potholed roads, mainstream media reported on The so-called bright spots in the disaster were hyped up there, this martyrdom, that glorious sacrifice, and some trapped escape measures that could be called hindsight quickly spread on the Internet.The disaster relief and reconstruction work is going on, and a lot of people on the Internet are criticizing, the drainage system is backward, and the urban infrastructure is scum, and a series of topics of corruption are raised there.

Except for the families of the victims who were still grieving, most people's attention was diverted. The supermarket was overcrowded. People who had been starving for several days waved their wallets and rushed into supermarkets and farmers' markets to dump the food inside. All kinds of vegetables, fruits and meat were swept away, including canned candies and some snacks.

Of course, this phenomenon did not last long. After all, the water receded, and the National Meteorological Department also vowed that the rain had passed, and the weather would be sunny, so everything quickly returned to normal, except for some old people who had lingering fears and started hoarding rice as much as possible. Except for the flour and so on, the others are still the same as before.

Chen Jin was not so optimistic, he always had some bad premonitions, but fortunately he didn't have any food crisis, but he still bought a lot of detergent in the supermarket in the name of company procurement The supplies were stuffed directly into the space, and then I ordered a large box of condiments such as oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar online. These things have been stored for a long time, and they are not expensive. Not much money, in case something happens in the future, there is no place to buy it if you have the money!

After a lot of tossing, the company's notice to resume work also came down.

After going to work, everyone seems to have forgotten the panic of those days, and instead discussed it with hearsay or related reports. In many cases, other people’s misfortunes can balance people’s psychology and bring some joy to people, even if they talk about it. Sighing, with sympathy on his face, he was actually very happy in his heart: Compared to such a hapless guy, I was barely hungry for a few meals!Things like schadenfreude are sometimes regarded as people's instinct.

Someone mentioned that in the nearby office building, someone had to work overtime. After it was done, they went downstairs and saw that the water was flooded to their thighs. They dared not leave, so they had to go back to the company. Who knew that the rain would not stop after that? , the man finally had to work hard in the company office to find out all the food he could find.What can the general office have to eat?The better ones are instant noodles, and more are actually things like chewing gum, chocolate, and casual biscuits. Rao, that person has been saving money, and he ran out of food in the next few days, so he had to drink water desperately. Fortunately, it lasted until the rain stopped. That day, otherwise, it would be bad luck!

A lot of people expressed their emotions there, and then they secretly rejoiced that they did not encounter these things. The colleague who sent the car directly to the 4S shop for a comprehensive repair even patted his chest. Part of it, apart from that, I was lucky enough not to suffer any other losses.

When someone asked about Chen Jin, Chen Jin also said the same thing as everyone there. In the end, there was only a little rice and noodles left at home, so I didn’t dare to cook, so I had to cook porridge, noodle soup, etc. Fortunately, the rain stopped. .

Fortunately, the boss came over soon, and everyone couldn't blatantly gossip at work. After winking at each other, they opened another discussion group, and the chat was still in full swing.

After get off work, Chen Jin saved more than half of the design drawings, turned off the computer, and clocked in with a few colleagues to leave.

Compared with the air-conditioned office, as soon as he stepped out of the elevator, a wave of heat hit his face. Chen Jin unbuttoned his collar and walked to the bus stop with his bag.

Usually, every few minutes, there is a bus that drags on for almost half an hour, and the people waiting for the bus are almost impatient. A thin, middle-aged woman shook her body, and then fell straight down. Everyone turned a blind eye, but a few people walked over and helped her up, and let her sit on the steps next to the stop sign.The woman woke up soon, with a dazed expression: "What's wrong with me?"

"You just fainted from heatstroke. Don't wait for the bus if you are not in good health. Take a taxi and go back first! Hey, it's really hot today..." A fat middle-aged man next to him held a newspaper and fanned the wind , His face was covered with sweat, and he muttered.

The rest of the people also persuaded there. A girl who looked like a college student took a small bottle of mineral water from her bag and handed it over. The woman drank a couple of sips and almost recovered. Standing up at the stop sign, he stopped a taxi.

This move was like a contagion. Several people were unwilling to wait for the bus that would arrive at an unknown time. They all stood on the side of the road and started to stop taxis. Several people were already discussing carpooling.

However, it may be because there were a lot of damaged taxis before, and the taxis that could be stopped at any time are relatively rare at the moment. Just when a group of people complained softly, the crowded bus wobbled over.

The front and rear doors of the bus were all open, and the driver looked at the people pushing and shoving people who wanted to get on the bus, and shouted: "Insert the coin and swipe the card first, and get on the back door!"

Chen Jin was about to hand over the bus card for the person in front to swipe. An old lady pushed away the person at the door and squeezed in nimbly. Chen Jin was used to this, so she asked someone to help swipe the card. He took the bus card to the door. Go through the back door.

There are so many people that it is impossible to squeeze in, even if the driver shouted: "I can't get on, wait for the next one, the next one is coming soon!" Much more, if you really trust the driver, I'm afraid the day lily will be cold in the end.

It was almost 10 minutes after the driver closed the door forcefully while yelling "The door is closed!"

When Chen Jin arrived home, the sun was about to set, so he threw the bag away and turned on the air conditioner in the living room before entering the space.

The temperature in the space made him wish he could live in it for the rest of his life without going out, but it was just thinking about it, people are group animals, if a person lives in a place isolated from the world, he must go crazy.

Chen Jin took a bath in the river, changed into a singlet and shorts, and picked a watermelon from the melon field and brought it out of the space.At this moment, the temperature in the house had dropped, Chen Jin washed the watermelon with tap water, cut everything in half, put one half in the refrigerator, and brought the other half directly to the living room, and ate it with a spoon.

A group of people on the Internet scolded the government's call for donations. Chen Jin just felt that it was boring. He was also a member of the angry youth, and now he is not too young. He has no feeling for these things, so he closed the webpage. He was directly searching for the latest blockbuster movies, planning to pick one to see.

While reading the introduction, the doorbell rang. Chen Jin saw through the cat's eyes that it was a man he didn't know, but he was well-dressed and looked like a social elite.

Chen Jin opened the door, and the man said, "Mr. Chen, hello, I live upstairs, and I'm here to thank you today!"

Chen Jin was taken aback: "May I ask your surname?"

The man said: "Miangui's surname is Zhang, and Gongchang Zhang. I was on a business trip a few days ago, and I couldn't make it back because of the impassable road. I heard from my mother that if it weren't for the medicine you provided, my son's fever would not go away. !"

"It's nothing!" Chen Jin said quickly, "It's just a little conventional medicine, it just happens to be available on my side!" As she spoke, she led that Mr. Zhang in.

But Mr. Zhang gave a wry smile: "Mr. Chen really thinks too much about people. My mother and my wife knocked on the door from the top floor. Except for you, no one else insisted! They are all conventional medicines." , most people have spares, but at that time, everyone has scruples! Forget it, don’t talk about it! This matter is a piece of cake for you, but it is a life-saving grace for me! Don’t say anything else , you accept this Mr. Chen, if you have anything to do in the future, feel free to come to me, I will do my best!"

Chen Jin saw that there were several supermarket shopping cards with large denominations on the coffee table. Just as he was about to decline, he heard Mr. Zhang say: "If there is no accident, I will only have a son in this life. Mr. Chen saved me!" My son is the benefactor of our whole family, what is this thing, please accept it, Mr. Chen!" While speaking, he stood up and said goodbye.

After sending that Mr. Zhang away, Chen Jin looked at the shopping cards on the coffee table, which added up to his one month's salary.As for the polite words he said to ask him for anything, Chen Jin pretended not to hear it, and he was not that cheeky.
