NOVEL NEXT Chapter 10 A series of accidents
In fact, the government dispatched all police forces very early, and later even the military, to carry out full rescue operations for the people.
And soon rescue centers were set up in several large venues in the city to provide centralized heating.
People who are severely affected by the disaster can choose to leave their homes and seek refuge there.
But as the blizzard continued to fall, the temperature dropped rapidly, and the blizzard covered the area much faster than it could be cleared manually.
Rescue is even more difficult, and even the authorities are having a hard time.
But as time passed, for Mu Jiu, who was well prepared, there was no difference day after day.
The temperature outside was getting colder and colder. The fireplace in Mu Jiu's house had two floors, and firewood was burning inside and outside.
From morning to night, it is warm as spring.
From time to time, she would cook a hot pot in the yard, make tea by the stove, and roast corn and sweet potatoes.
Move a small deck chair and soak in the sun to replenish calcium.
After a month of heavy snowfall, the surface temperature dropped, gradually approaching minus 50 degrees Celsius.
Nancheng is a typical southern city. Even floor heating is not widely available in ordinary people's homes.
After all, in the coldest time of winter, the temperature will not drop below minus 10 degrees.
So at this moment, the entire city has been completely frozen into big ice knots. At minus 50 degrees, it is almost devastating.
People living in the villas in the hot spring resort gradually began to feel that the central air conditioners in the villas were broken and there was no warmth at all.
Even though I put on my down jacket and covered myself with the thickest quilt, I was still shivering from the cold.
Fortunately, there is still the hot spring, the ever-lasting mainstay, to carry it, otherwise I would really not be able to survive.
In the chatting WeChat group, various complaints about the environment and the villa’s hardware facilities began to appear.
The more critical issue is that the time for the January rumors about the cold wave that brought these people together has arrived.
Most of the villa tenants only paid for one month to escape the cold and take a vacation.
But now it seems that this natural disaster has no end in sight, but the biting cold is getting worse.
The steward representatives tried their best to reassure everyone in the WeChat group.
He also said that because the weather was too cold, the heating effect of the air conditioner was limited.
Starting today, the housekeeping team will deliver enough firewood to every household in the villa every day for guests to burn for warmth!
As for where the firewood comes from, of course the housekeepers go to the mountains behind the hot spring resort and chop it back!
After all, the landlady lives here.
Moreover, the housekeeping team includes security personnel and maintenance personnel, so their equipment is very complete.
For pruning tools such as electric saws and electric shears, there is a dedicated office storage room in the service center building of the resort.
That afternoon, the doorbell of Mu Jiu's courtyard rang. The same housekeepers who delivered food last time came to deliver firewood to her.
Mu Jiu did not open the door this time, but thanked the housekeeper outside the door through the glass for the hard work.
She also asked them to put the firewood they delivered in the snow outside the door. When needed, she could just come out and get it.
On the one hand, it is a matter of principle not to allow outsiders to enter her territory.
On the other hand, the temperature difference between the inside of her yard and the outside was too great, and she didn't want these smart housekeepers to notice it too early.
Because the entire villa has the strongest thermal insulation treatment, you can't feel the warmth at all when standing outside the yard, just like putting your hand on the outer wall of a thermos cup.
It was a good idea for the housekeeping department to send firewood to each villa, but for this group of wealthy people who grew up in the city, it was not necessarily a good thing.
On the night when firewood was delivered, accidents occurred in two villas.
But these things were all learned by Mu Jiu from the WeChat group when he got up early the next day.
One of them accidentally set the villa on fire due to improper lighting...
Some kindhearted people also attached photos of the fire that night.
It was late at night and I saw a villa in the resort bursting with flames.
Fortunately, the housekeeper was well-trained and promptly brought the small fire truck equipped by the resort to extinguish the fire, so no further damage was caused.
All the walls were burnt black, and the decoration and furniture inside were also destroyed.
If you want to live in that villa again, you will definitely have no choice.
But it is said that there is a family of 12 living in that villa. With so many people, it would be difficult to relocate them.
There was another one that night who also used fire improperly.
Because they were afraid of the cold, the young couple closed the windows of the villa tightly and went to take a shower.
As a result, a family of 8, including 2 children and 4 elderly people, were all poisoned by carbon monoxide...
By the time they asked for help, the poisoning was so deep that the elderly and children had long since run out of breath.
The 120/110/119 calls cannot be reached. As early as the first week of the blizzard and road closures in the apocalypse, these places were already in a state of collapse and paralysis.
But even if the housekeeper is equipped with a professional doctor, he can only do simple auxiliary work.
Without professional treatment equipment and medicines, it is difficult for a skilled woman to make a meal without rice.
So the entire family died that night.
Outside the hot spring resort, communication has long been disconnected, and no other relatives of the family can be found to deal with the aftermath.
But when a person dies, the body cannot be left to rot and stink in the villa.
During the special period, the housekeeper came forward to deal with the cremation and burial issues of that family.
Of course, after dealing with the problem of the dead, the problem of the other living people will also be solved.
The 12 members of the family that suffered the fire moved into the haunted house with complicated emotions under the arrangement and advice of the housekeeper.
Before dawn the next day, the housekeeper posted the top ten precautions for indoor fire use in the WeChat group.
And @everyone please read it carefully and warn everyone not to have such an accident happen again.
The poisoning incident had a great impact on the mentality of everyone in the resort.
Coupled with the increasingly cold weather and the non-stop blizzards day and night, the atmosphere in the group began to become strange, and the lively atmosphere before was no longer there.
For several days after that, no one in the group met to go to the mountain to soak in the hot springs together.
After all, when I first came, I only made one month of preparations, both materially and psychologically.
If this kind of weather continues, the food and daily necessities brought will soon be exhausted...
And the official news... It has been a full month, but there is no official rescue at all.
Everyone here fell into a state of anxiety, except Mu Jiu.
