Chapter 38 Strong Wind(1/2)

[Exclusively published by Jinjiang Literature City]

The apartment is on the fifteenth floor, but since the tenth floor is full of split-level buildings with a floor height of more than five meters like You's house, the real height of the apartment is actually about the twentieth floor.

The higher the floor, the more obvious the shaking in strong winds.

You Feng is extremely lucky that his work unit is very close to home, so he is used to going home to eat during his lunch break.

Even more fortunately, my daughter returned home in the middle of the night. At this moment, the family of three was neat and tidy. When encountering such an unexpected situation, they would not be in a hurry and panic.

After being reminded by You Xi, You Feng quickly reacted and went to take the multifunctional escape bag from his daughter's hand. At the same time, he couldn't help but sigh that fortunately his daughter had the foresight to buy this bag.

Fan Qi also moved. When she saw the father and daughter each carrying a large bag, she quickly found a small travel bag from the cabinet on the side, rolled up two thin blankets on the sofa and went inside.

She quickly went to the kitchen to open the food storage cabinet, and took out six 550ml bottles of mineral water, a box (12) of the kind of easy-filling meal replacement energy bars she eats, two boxes of spicy beef and a box of tomato fat beef spontaneous combustion.

The hot pot, a bag of ham sausage and a large bag of unopened pork were put in. Then I opened the refrigerator and took out two chicken steak sandwiches and four sea salt breads and put them in.

After that, Fan Qi opened a secret door next to the TV cabinet in the living room. There was a drawer with a password lock inside. She opened it, took out her rarely used wallet and household registration book, and put them into the zipper compartment of the travel bag.

Inside the wallet are her and You Feng's ID cards, their bank cards, plus their household register, all important things are here.

Fan Qi quickly zipped up the outer zipper of the travel bag, threw the heavy travel bag at the entrance, took the thick sweater jacket from the sofa and put it on, and then went to the entrance to change shoes.

She put on her travel shoes and looked up, only to find that her daughter was looking at her with admiration.

"What are you doing? Still not leaving?"

You Feng was calling Mr. You, wanting to ask You Hai if they were at home and to ask him to quickly take refuge in the underground parking garage in the community. However, the phone kept showing a busy signal and no call was made.

You Xi patted You Feng on the shoulder comfortingly and ran to the door to change his shoes.

In fact, the food and water that Fan Qi just took were abundant in her star house warehouse. Although this apocalyptic mission lasted for three years and consumed a lot, most of it was consumed because several batches of supplies were replenished before and after the apocalyptic world.

It's all those supplies.

The various frozen foods of vegetables, fish, meat, eggs, milk, and seafood originally stored in her own warehouse are not consumed much, especially the huge variety of takeaways, which consume even less.

After all, they expected to be able to make food at home, but later they got a RV and could make food, so many of them didn't have the chance to eat.

Ling Ling finally came to the conclusion that during this apocalyptic mission, the inventory in her warehouse has only reduced most of the pure water, convenience foods, some snacks and fresh seafood foods that are difficult to obtain in the apocalyptic world, and added gasoline and ammunition.

A RV, a Tang knife, and a box of gold, diamonds and jade...

Not only did the gasoline fill up the six 30L and five 50L portable oil drums, and the three 200L diesel drums that she initially stocked up on, she also consciously searched for containers and replenished all the 200L diesel drums, 30L and 50L portable oil drums.

Up to 10 (excluding those given to You’s father and You’s mother), all of them are also filled with gasoline.

In this way, the Star House warehouse has 2,800 liters of gasoline. If converted into the number of times it takes to fill up a car, it can be refilled about 50 times and travel about 30,000 kilometers. It is enough to go anywhere.

As for grabbing, she now has two semi-automatic pistols, a fully automatic pistol (assault pistol), and an AK-47, all given to her by people in the army.

It’s just that the ammunition is limited. Once the inventory is exhausted, it will definitely not be replenished in a peaceful world. Even if you go to the apocalyptic world, you have to look for opportunities.

However, she has more points now, so in some cases it will be more convenient to buy [High Temperature Perfume] and [Air Hair Dryer].

Generally speaking, she doesn't replenish anything at this time and goes directly to the next apocalyptic world. These stocks are enough.

But now it was definitely impossible for her to tell Fan Qi that she didn't need to bring anything with her, and in this case, she was actually quite pleased to see her own mother getting the items in such a clear and fast manner.

At least--

At least the subsequent thoughts were cut off by You Xi himself.

She shook her head, probably because she had been in the apocalyptic world for a long time this time, she actually had a picture in her mind of how Fan Qi would deal with it when the apocalypse came.

When the family of three left the apartment, the electronic door lock automatically locked. They did not take the elevator, but bypassed the corridor and went directly to the fire escape.

There are two fire exits in this building, one in the center of the building and the other in the center of the north side.

The exterior wall of the second fire escape was made of pure glass, and the stairwell was well-lit. When they entered the stairwell, there were many residents from other floors going downstairs.

It was working time. There were not many young people in the residential building, most of them were semi-retired people, and there were also some children who did not go to kindergarten for various reasons.

Most of them were notified by the property management and went downstairs to take refuge, and some, like You Feng and Fan Qi, saw the tornado in the distance with their own eyes.

Everyone was talking as they went down the stairs, and everyone sounded panicked and anxious. They were panicked because this city is located in the south of the Yangtze River, which is considered a geomantic treasure. There has never been a natural disaster like a tornado before, let alone an earthquake last month.

I am anxious because some of the young people and children at home are at school and some at work. Although schools and workplaces will temporarily direct themselves to avoid such situations, my family members are not around. The most important thing is that I don’t know what happened this time.

How severe a tornado is and how many places it will affect.

You Xi carried her bag and followed Fan Qi all the way down the stairs. The wind was still strong outside the glass of the stairwell, but compared to the tornado that was raging on the edge of the city just now, such a strong wind could reach level 8 to level 9 at most.

, the destructive power of the two is completely incomparable.

A group of people soon arrived at the lobby on the first floor of the apartment building.

The building is in the shape of a zigzag. The lobby is a large square. Facing north are several glass doors put together. On one side are mailboxes and express cabinets. On the other side are two iron doors. Beyond there is the battery garage.

, there is a small stairwell going down next to it, which can lead to the underground garage.

Because people who usually park their cars take the elevator directly from the underground parking lot to the upper floors, this stairwell is not commonly used.

The real estate agent in a security uniform was trying his best to appease the anxious inquiries, saying that he had just received a notice requiring all residents to take temporary refuge in the basement. The specific time when they could return to their homes upstairs would have to wait for notification.

However, the residents were uneasy and no one was willing to escape immediately.

Perhaps in the southern coastal area, because we often encounter typhoons, it is normal to be told to go downstairs and take shelter collectively in a sturdy building.

But in Jiangnan cities, even typhoons are rare, and such a tornado is simply a fantasy.

For a while, several property security guards were surrounded by residents and refused to obey orders to evacuate.

Fan Qi and You Feng looked at each other, and she offered a few words of help, saying that all questions should be asked after everyone has evacuated to the basement. There is a strong wind blowing on the ground now and it is not safe, so don't surround the security guards.

A neighbor who knew Fan Qi and You Feng came over and took the lead in walking towards the garage.

But more people still surrounded the security guard and refused to let him go, and even told Fan Qi and You Feng to leave it alone. They were not from the property management, and what they said did not matter. They had to ask the situation clearly before they could decide on the next step.

Fan Qi sighed, pulled You Feng and You Xi and said let's go, then turned and walked towards the iron door leading to the garage.

The stairwell leading to the basement is on the right side of the battery garage, against the wall.

The lights in this small stairwell are sensor lights, which will light up whenever there are footsteps. The two neighbors in front have already reached the end, so all the lights in the stairwell are on at this moment.

The stairs going down had to be turned three times in total. The dim yellow light illuminated the stairs under their feet. They had just turned the first corner when they heard a crackling sound coming from above, followed by exclamations one after another.

You Xi hurriedly pulled Fan Qi and You Feng to speed up, rushed to the corner of the platform at the turn of the stairs on the next floor, and cleared the main passage.

Within ten seconds, the residents who were originally crowded in the hall rushed downstairs with all their strength. Because the space in the stairwell was small, everyone was jostling each other in panic. Several people were pushed against the wall or handrails.

Someone almost fell down and was stepped on.

For a moment, the scene was chaotic. Everyone was pushed and pushed a few times, and finally they all ran down the stairs and stood against the wall, panting.

Only the three members of the You family were not squeezed because You Xi reacted promptly and hid in the corner.

The three of them were the last to go downstairs. A security guard was checking the flashlight that had been accidentally dropped on the ground and was broken. You Feng walked over and asked about the situation above.

Probably because of what Fan Qi said just now, the security guard knew that the person who spoke was her husband, so he explained the situation in detail.

They said that not long after they went downstairs, a big tree outside the building was blown down by the strong wind, and the severed trunk slammed hard against the closed glass door of the building. All eight solid glass doors were shattered without exception.

The strong wind carried branches, leaves and broken glass towards the people standing in the hall. The scene was so terrifying that everyone screamed and stepped back. Some people reacted in time and ran to the garage door, and others swarmed to follow.

Without the glass door, the entire lobby was exposed to strong winds. Branches, wooden boards, plastic signs and other miscellaneous things outside that were swept along by the strong wind all seemed to have found an exit and were poured inward.

Even in the battery garage, because there is no door at the entrance and there are only a few concrete pillars, it is semi-open, so the battery car also fell over a large area.

There were crashing and shattering sounds everywhere, and those who heard it were frightened.

So people rushed to the stairwell, trying to escape to a safe place as soon as possible, and that's why such a chaotic scene happened.

You Xi also came over: "Has the wind increased?"

"Yes, it's a little stronger, but it shouldn't have reached the level of a tornado. But we still don't know how long the tornado over there will last and whether it will come to us."

Although hiding in the basement is temporarily safe, there is no way to know the situation outside immediately. "Everyone, please wait for a while. We will go to the stairs to check the situation later."

After the man finished speaking, You Xi noticed that the back of his hand was scratched. Although it was not deep, it was quite a long gash.

She asked the man to wait, saying that she had a first-aid kit and could treat his wounds.

You Xi and You Feng returned to Fan Qi. She had already laid a moisture-proof mat on an empty parking space against the wall.

Each of the two escape backpacks contains an aluminum film-type moisture-proof mat. Because it is lightweight, it can be expanded widely. The two moisture-proof mats spread together occupy almost half of the parking space.

You Xi bent down and took out a small medical bag and returned it to the security guard to briefly treat the wound. The other party was extremely grateful and thanked her repeatedly.

She looked at the other party's simple face, inexplicably thinking of the security guards in the last apocalyptic world. She smiled at the other party and said nothing. Looking back, she saw that some of the other residents were injured, so she gave the small medical kit to

he.

The other party thanked her again and said that she would return it to her after use.

You Xi doesn't care. One of the things she needs most now is medicines and utensils.

When she returned to the parking space she occupied, she found that Fan Qi had taken off her shoes, was kneeling on the moisture-proof mat, and took something out of her backpack.

When she saw her coming back, she said it was just right, so she gave her some popular science education while taking out the money, telling her not to be anxious or panic when encountering emergencies, and that everything should be organized.

"You can take out the thin blanket and put it on as a cushion or cover. If you don't wake up, you can continue to sleep."

"..."
