Chapter 89 The Calm Before the Storm

[Only released by Jinjiang Literature City]

This earthquake was much stronger than the earthquake a few months ago. Most people in their sleep were awakened, and some people lived in poor houses, and they felt that the whole world was shaking.

The only earthquake that most people in S City experienced was the one a few months ago. But that tremor was not so strong, so this earthquake made many people panic.

Someone has learned first aid knowledge. He asked his family to hug the child in the bathroom, and then rushed to the gate to open the door - so as not to deform the door frame and block the escape exit. Finally, he dragged the thick mat on the sofa and rushed into the bathroom, and pushed the mat on his head and his family.

Someone lives on the second floor. Relying on the low floor, he panicked and opened the window and jumped downwards.

Some people live in the upper floors, and there is nothing else to do except hug and hide under the solid table to pray...

Fortunately, although the earthquake had a large vibration amplitude, it did not last long.

In addition to some not very solid self-built houses, brick houses, rental houses, and greenhouses that collapsed, the most serious things in most other houses were only damaged by some walls and ceilings, and the things in the house were overturned and the glass broke into chaos.

Some buildings with strong earthquake resistance were only slightly damaged, and the people inside were falsely alarmed.

This is the case in the community where Youxi is located. Because it is a high-rise building, the earthquake resistance indicators were strong when it was built. Therefore, the earthquake only caused furniture shocks and damaged some of the not-so-solid items and lighting fixtures in the house.

The walls are basically fine. Since the glass is made of two layers of base, there are even three or four layers, so there are no damage at present.

But the residents in the building did not dare to sleep anymore, and they wrapped themselves tightly, going out to inquire about information and situations.

The same is true in the villa area. The residents wearing pajamas and holding pesticides were waiting in the open space outside for a long time until the shaking stopped.

They looked at the villa where some exterior wall bricks were just falling down and breathed a sigh of relief.

Afterwards, some people went home and got some protective clothing and tools despite the advice of the security guard. Some people did not dare to go back and could only wrap their clothes tightly. Everyone stayed in the open space to avoid a second more intense earthquake.

There are still four security guards left in the community, all of whom are alone who have nowhere to go.

One lived in a house where the owner was poisoned by a poisoned butterfly in a villa area. The other three, Xiaodong lived in Xu Yan's house, and two lived in vacant houses in the other two buildings. They were scattered so that if there was something wrong, they could call us over and help.

The four security guards no longer expect any salary. Several people died of butterfly poison in the villa and building, and some supplies were left at home. After a voting resolution chaired by Xu Yan, these supplies were distributed equally to the four security guards as compensation for their stay here to continue working.

They are responsible for the community's garbage, daily maintenance and cleaning, and centralized feeding of pets.

At first, some residents were unwilling to do so and wanted those supplies, especially those who originally lived next door.

But Xu Yan said that if you don’t give the security guard these supplies, you will take the security guard home and be responsible for the other party’s food, drink and accommodation issues like him. Otherwise, you will deal with the daily community work problems by yourself. After all, no one will be willing to work for nothing.

The residents knew in their hearts that even though they had allocated the supplies themselves, so many people had a great bag of instant noodles, they finally gave up and let the security guards share the supplies happily and then continued to send them.

After the earthquake, people temporarily leave the building and wait for a few hours to half a day in an open area, which is a normal step after the earthquake.

When the residents who were trapped in several high-rise buildings stopped when they saw the earthquake, they all brought protective clothing and tools, some food and water, shook their feet and got down from the stairwell and went to the open space square to take refuge.

People in the villa area saw their outfits and considered that they had to stay in the open air for a long time, some villa residents went back to get protective clothing and some food.

Fortunately, the big supermarkets opened the day before, and the big supermarket opposite the community also opened.

Yesterday, almost all the communities were dispatched to shop. Although the purchase restrictions were limited and there were crowds of people, all kinds of competition were finally supplemented by each other.

The residents who had previously participated in the supermarket robbery incident in the community were very scared. They went to the supermarket to rush to buy and saw people wearing uniforms and robbing each other.

After all, I did something wrong. Although the whole process was very chaotic and I was confused and I didn’t know whether I had any responsibility, it was still a peaceful era and it was impossible to say that I was not afraid.

Even though the rescue team members and police in the supermarket did not know the situation inside their community, or even if they knew about it, there was no one to deal with it, they were still very scared and tried to follow the purchase restrictions and not take more supplies to avoid any problems.

There are also several residents with good relationships with various places who call friends and ask for help to see if they can buy more supplies. In the end, friends of several residents sent some supplies directly.

Someone told everyone not to worry, saying that the big supermarkets will open today, and some wholesale markets, shops and small supermarkets with inventory will probably open tomorrow, so that he will remember to go out early to buy them.

I didn't know that the next day had an earthquake before it arrived.

In the end, more than half of the residents in the open space of the community wore one-piece protective clothing purchased after the giant insect incident.

The residents here all have some money, and through various channels, they have more or less equipment.

Most of these protective clothing are white, plus a 3m mask, and the whole person is wrapped in only one pair of eyes. Even some of these eyes have been worn directly on transparent protective glasses, truly fully armed.

Therefore, Xu Yan, who was busy with security guards, did not notice that there was a family who had never gone downstairs from beginning to end, and had never even stepped out of the house.

You Xi woke up as early as the beginning of the earthquake. She got up from the tent and didn't even have to open the door of the star house. Just look at the window and you will know that the S City earthquake was there.

She experienced it personally during the last earthquake. This time she was inside the star house, and outside the window was a volatile city. With her eyesight, she could even see the glass ceiling of a farmer and vegetable market outside the road collapsed in the vibration.

The day before yesterday, when supermarkets in various areas of the city opened, she saw many people online saying that the outside is much safer than before.

Although many plants were burned, bare everywhere, and there were pools of dark burn marks, or yellow suppression powder sprinkled on black ash, it was really a lot of peace of mind.

Therefore, many self-employed vendors, such as small supermarkets, wholesale vegetable vendors with inventory, and stores in food wholesale markets all said that they would open today.

Although these people have been sleepy at home for more than ten days, they are not short of supplies. They are just afraid of mutant plants and animals. They are called to live at home according to the official call.

Now that the situation in the city is getting better, I must continue to open the door to do business. On the one hand, I have to make money, and on the other hand, I can also help the people who lack various supplies at home.

But now, it's actually an earthquake!

The earthquake outside was much stronger than last time. Fortunately, the star house was calm and not only did not shake, but even the noisy sounds outside could hardly be heard.

She could only hear the movement coming from the entrance of the star house, which was from their own house, and You Feng and Fan Qi were even more inaudible.

Her parents slept soundly and deeply, and she decided not to wake them up for the time being.

After the earthquake stopped, she found that residents on other floors seemed to have left the building and went to shelter outside to take refuge. She was afraid that there would be aftershocks, and that was not as safe as the star house, so she thought about it and finally returned to the tent to continue sleeping.

Because of the safe and different space of Star House, Fan Qi and You Feng woke up and washed up the next day, stepped out of the Star House and found that their daughter was cleaning up some broken decorations and a floor lamp. They knew that there was an earthquake last night.

At this time, other residents in the building had already returned home. You Feng and Fan Qi turned on the TV and started surfing the Internet, and found that there was another tragic wind and rain on the Internet.

You Feng was worried about the situation on Mr. You, so he immediately called.

This time, Mr. You and the four of You Hai were not so lucky. Although their house did not collapse, the illegal building up the building was rebuilt a balcony. The balcony collapsed in the earthquake, smashing their yard into a mess, and the walls facing south of the living room and the room also collapsed.

Fortunately, the people in the house were fine. The Youhai couple who were sleeping in the large room facing south were awakened by the broken wall in the middle of the night. While busy cleaning up useful things at home, they argued with the people upstairs and asked them to compensate.

"It's useless to lose money at this time. Half of the house wall collapsed, and it won't be repaired for a while. In this case, if the air leaks at night, it's easy for mutated creatures to come in. You should clean up and move them to our place."

You Feng reiterated the previous plan with You Xi, "We have empty houses downstairs, sixth and third floors. I'll go to find the security guard later. You pack up your things and bring important and useful things, especially food. Remember not to leak them, come over quickly."

You Hai also has a car, a used van that is not old. In addition to being able to hold five people, it is not difficult to load some supplies for the whole family.

You Feng was talking on the phone, and the other side of You Xi patted Fan Qi on the shoulder to comfort her: "Don't worry, my dad and I agreed not to mention the Star House or the supplies, but after grandpa and the others moved here, they could take care of each other nearby, and they could support them if they really had no food. I know, don't worry."

That was You Feng's biological father. As long as You Feng didn't mention his daughter's star house and supplies, Fan Qi had no objection to other matters.

Here, when You Feng and You Xi went downstairs to Xu Yan to find a security guard, You Hai, located on the other end of the city, was not as smooth as You Feng thought.

First of all, there is a problem with the house. In fact, it is rare for people downstairs to be injured in the illegal construction of the upper floors in Youhai’s community and even the entire area. This time, the You family was implicated innocently, which is really unlucky.

After You Hai cleaned up the home and answered the phone, he started to sort out the items. When Yang Huizhen ran upstairs to argue but started to fight, their daughter You Meiming had already called the help phone number according to the instructions in the news.

Because of the previous mutated animals and plants, many people's houses were damaged, so S City has always left a lot of reserves in housing arrangements.

You Meiming is very smart. First, he said that he was not yet an adult, and he had five people in his family, and an elderly man in his 80s who had no good hearing and mobility skills, so the other party quickly coordinated their residence for them.

Just a 15-minute drive from the community, the other party can arrange a suite for them, which has two bedrooms.

However, at present, we can only provide free accommodation and water and electricity. The hotel does not care about food, but we can use the hotel kitchen during the specified time, and they have to be responsible for cleaning.

Of course, before they move out of their home, a rescue team nearby assisting earthquake rescue missions will come to check their situation. Only when the situation is true can they be checked in, otherwise the room will be cancelled.

You Meiming was happy when she heard the name of the hotel. She knew that the hotel had to pass by to and from school before, which was a business hotel, which was a little more advanced than an ordinary three-star hotel.

She asked her brother You Yingming to go upstairs and call Yang Huizhen to go downstairs, and she told You Hai and Mr. You about the good news.

Although Mr. You didn’t know any business hotel, he was very happy to hear that he had a place to live without sleeping in a house with no air and no walls.

Yang Huizhen was also happy to know that she could stay in a three-star hotel for free. They were different from those whose houses were destroyed by mutant plants. Because the house was not damaged much, many things at home were good. Now they could move by just packing up the clothes, daily necessities and some food for five people.

Although cooking is a bit inconvenient, the environment is better than home, can you be unhappy if you are free of charge water, electricity, and gas?

As a result, they were happy not long after they heard You Hai say that they had agreed with You Feng that they would move downstairs to their residential residence in the community.

If there was no hotel, Yang Huizhen would definitely have no objection.

But now I will definitely weigh the pros and cons. Although Youfeng's community is advanced, it takes an hour and a half to drive. Later, I heard You Hai urge his son and daughter to help clean up all the food and snacks at home, so that they can be careful and not miss it at all.

Yang Huizhen actually didn't plan to take all the food to the hotel. Their house was just covered with air leakage, the yard was still there, and the gate was also good.

She was going to clean up a little and lock the important things, especially the heavier rice, flour, oil and other foods in the two bedrooms in the back.

She just wanted to find a safe place to stay during the maintenance period, and she would definitely come back to find someone to repair the wall and supervise the workers during the day. If the living conditions are similar, it would be a 15-minute drive and an hour and a half drive, and the former would definitely be convenient!

But now, looking at You Hai's attitude, she is ready to leave forever?

As a result, You Hai said that he had no plans, just listened to his elder brother. He helped arrange the accommodation, and asked him to bring all the food that didn't leak.

When Yang Huizhen heard this, she subconsciously wanted to object. As soon as she spoke, she was interrupted by You Hai unhappily.

He said that it was a bit bad that he would not let his elder brother's family live there last time. This time, the other party ignored the past and immediately helped to arrange the residence. If he refused even kindness, should he continue to be a relative in the future?

That's his elder brother. Do you really want to cut off relations and avoid contact in the future?

Yang Huizhen was so bored by the rare angry You Hai, but she turned around but was not happy to think about it. Finally, she found an old sister in the group to complain. There was an old sister who claimed to be a good friend, and had some money at home, and she was very well-versed in all kinds of news.

When the other party heard her description of what supplies she carried, he immediately said that there must be something wrong with it, and maybe he was greedy for her family's supplies!

Later, when he heard Yang Huizhen say the name of the other community, he immediately became excited and said that he knew the situation in the community.

The news reported that the wisteria flower poison butterfly had died. This community was the one who died many people. The husband of an old sister and daughter she knew knew people from the property in this community.

Not only that, when fresh vegetable buns occurred in this community, the items were not delivered.

Finally, there is a rumor that I don’t know whether it is true or not. It is said that the residents of the community have suffered several lives due to the supermarket supplies in the community, and no one has to deal with it until now because they don’t know who did it.

Even though the supermarket opened yesterday, everyone bought supplies because there were not many purchases. This big brother might be concerned about their supplies.

Yang Huizhen was so scared that her family had actually stocked up a lot of things before, and later the fresh food packages arrived and distributed on time because there was an elderly man and a minor at home, and she was treated preferentially by the community and got two more copies.

In addition, the supermarket reopened yesterday, and the five of them bought a lot of things with their ID cards. Now the total amount of food at home is enough for five people to eat for two months.

Compared with the two, if they really moved to Youfeng Community, what if the other party asked You Hai for supplies, would You Hai not give it?

When Yang Huizhen thought of giving her own supplies to others, she felt heartbroken.
