NOVEL NEXT Chapter 16 Water, electricity, and gas outages
After Solitaire, the group became completely quiet.
Nan Ci knew that they should all have gone to find Liu Chunhua.
I don’t know how Liu Chunhua plans to deal with it.
Nan Ci felt a little curious, but he didn't go out because of it.
Compared with watching the excitement, safety is of course more important.
The heavy rain will continue to fall for several months. From now on, there will be excitement every day, so there is no rush for this moment.
Liu Chunhua lived on the 22nd floor, and Nan Ci lived on the 32nd floor. They were ten floors apart. In addition, the sound insulation effect of Nan Ci's house was better, so that he didn't hear anything going on below.
A power outage would bring a lot of inconvenience to others, but to Nan Ci, it would have little impact.
After it became completely dark, Nan Ci entered the space.
After having a hearty dinner first, Nan Ci continued to go to the bathroom.
Everything else has been taken care of. Now we only need to fill the water tower on the side with water, connect the water pipes, and then we can wash without any worries.
Nanci also stores a lot of bottled and barreled water, but these are drinking water, which is too luxurious for washing.
Nanci connected a water pump to pump water directly from the stream.
This water tower is very big. When it is full of water, Nanci can take a bath, wash clothes and wash vegetables every day, and it can be used for half a month.
While pumping water, Nan Ci stood by the stream and observed.
The water tower was full, but the water in the creek didn't seem to decrease at all, which made Nan Ci breathe a sigh of relief.
From the current point of view, this should be a living water that can be used with confidence without worrying about depletion.
In fact, it doesn't matter even if there isn't enough water in the creek. There isn't much of anything outside now, there's just a lot of water, but it's a little more troublesome to collect.
But now there is no need to collect, Nan Ci is still happy.
The sun never sets in the space, and the solar water heater can start working as soon as it is turned on.
Nan Ci had a good sleep at night. After waking up the next morning, he went into the space to wash up and took a bath by the way.
The temperature in the space is suitable, neither hot nor cold when taking a shower, which is easier to use than the bathroom outside the space.
The washed wastewater is discharged directly into the land.
Nan Ci originally thought that the water was not dirty, and just let the sun dry it. But what Nan Ci didn't expect was that after the water was drained into the ground, it disappeared directly, and the ground was still dry. .
It was as if it was directly purified by the space.
Not only the domestic wastewater, but also the animal feces, there is no need to clean it up in Nanci, the space will purify it by itself.
Nan Ci only needs to be fed at a fixed time, and there is no need to worry about anything else.
Nan Ci felt that space could bring her more than just this many surprises. She had plenty of time to slowly discover what other surprises there were.
It wasn't until after breakfast, steaming rice and stewing meat in the rice cooker that Nan Ci left the space.
Also brought out are the dumpling fillings that have been mixed.
Making dumplings makes very little noise and has no smell, so it is very suitable for making dumplings outside the space.
Nan Ci first looked at the status of the four cats and saw that they were sleeping soundly and had no problems. Then he plugged the movable TV into the outdoor mobile battery and turned on a TV series he had never watched.
Watching a drama while making dumplings, accompanied by the sound of rain, is very relaxing in a way.
Nan Ci is at ease, but others in Building 11 are not.
From yesterday to now, the power outage has been more than 24 hours, and there is still no sign of a call.
They no longer looked for Liu Chunhua, because it was useless to look for him.
Without electricity, lights and appliances cannot be used, causing all kinds of inconveniences in life.
Without a mobile phone, I can't contact the outside world, and I don't even know a little bit of news about the outside world.
What's even more frightening is that the water flow is gradually getting smaller and it is very likely that the water will stop.
How long can natural gas last when water and electricity are cut off?
Without water, electricity and natural gas, people living in this high-rise building who cannot get out are no different than waiting for death.
Even if these things have not happened yet, just thinking about it makes these people extremely flustered.
The heavy rain shows no sign of abating, and the water has reached the sixth floor. People on the fifth and sixth floors have not found a place to live, and now they can only live in the corridor.
The water continued to rise, and they did not dare to stay in the corridor on the lower floor for fear of having to move up, so they simply moved to the 22nd floor and lived outside Liu Chunhua's home.
Liu Chunhua wouldn't let them sleep in the house. They would knock on the door eight hundred times a day to either use the toilet or the kitchen.
As the building manager, Liu Chunhua was very concerned about face, so he had to borrow it. The door to his house was basically not closed, and anyone could come in or out.
Nan Ci stayed at home and learned all this information from surveillance.
Whether it is Xu Ping and Liu Nana from 3201, or Wang Meijuan from 3204, they are all restless people. After losing their mobile phones, they have to take the stairs downstairs every day and stay for several hours before coming back.
Every time he came back, he would bring back a lot of new news, and Nan Ci heard everything clearly on the surveillance camera.
Hearing all kinds of latest news from their mouths every day, Nan Ci no longer finds them annoying.
At least now I can know what's going on in the building without going out, and I have to thank them.
Two days later, water flooded the eighth floor, and natural gas and running water were cut off.
It's okay to cut off the water supply. It's raining heavily outside. As long as you stick the container out the window, you won't have to worry about running out of water.
But without natural gas, everyone was completely panicked.
There was no electricity or natural gas, and they couldn't even get a hot meal.
There are people who want to burn furniture, but there are very few people who have solid wood furniture.
Not only are composite boards and particle boards smoky when burned, they are also not resistant to burning, and can easily cause fires if you are not careful.
Two more embarrassing and thrilling days passed. It was already the seventh day of heavy rain, and the water had already flooded the twelfth floor.
The residents on the fourth to twelfth floors now all live in the corridor.
They were afraid that the water would continue to rise, so they started to move up from the 22nd floor. Now, the corridors from the 22nd floor to the 31st floor are all full of people.
If the 13th floor is also flooded by water, the corridors on the 32nd floor will not be spared either.
Although the corridor on the 32nd floor was not occupied yet, someone came up from downstairs and knocked on the door.
Either they came to borrow the bathroom, or they came to borrow food.
A few days ago, there were people willing to lend or sell food.
But after realizing that the heavy rain would not stop soon and life would become increasingly difficult, those who had food kept their food tightly in their hands and no longer dared to borrow it from outside.
Especially Wang Meijuan, she would pretend to be dead when someone knocked on the door, and would not even dare to open the door.
But it's useless if she doesn't open the door.
Just like Xu Ping knew that she loved buying products on sale, other people in Building 11 also knew this, and Liu Chunhua knew it especially well.
