Chapter 28

    But what really awaited them was the sudden power outage in the early hours of this morning.

    At 3:10 a.m. on January 25th, all the areas within one kilometer of the villa area were blacked out. Most residents woke up from their sleep, and a few did not wake up, such as the elderly and children at home. Did not see the morning after the 25th.

    Internet, TV news, even air conditioners, refrigerators, washing machines... all kinds of household appliances have all stopped working. At daybreak, everyone gathered at the door of the grid member's house and found out that not only their villa area, but the entire H city had a power outage.

    Three consecutive weeks of power cuts failed to escape the fate of overloading electricity consumption. At the same time as the circuit was blown, the workers in the power plant finally couldn't bear the overloaded work day and night and went on strike.

    If there is no air conditioner in this day, it is basically a dead end. If there is water in the house, it will be soaked in water, but this is not a permanent solution. Besides, the water at home is not enough for people to drink, but it will be hotter if you stay there, and it will be even hotter when you go out.

    The food stored in the refrigerator can't even stand for half a day, but there is no electricity, so should they hold raw meat and eat it raw?

    The once-in-three-day supplies are now distributed once a day. Not to mention time-consuming and labor-intensive, people have to endure the heat to go to the gate to collect them. From time to time, they even quarrel with people because of the uneven distribution and take them home. There is no air conditioner blowing.

    Looking at the supplies again, there are three packs of instant noodles, without hot water. Two slices of dry bread, a bag of pure milk, and the only consolation is that I got 2 small apples. Although the taste is sour, it is delicious.

    But over time, it still caused dissatisfaction among many people. In the dark, with flashlights on, groups of people made a noise at the gate of the government.

    A large fuel-fired generator was installed in the government, and the whirring sound of the air conditioner could still be heard in several rooms where the lights were on. Once this kind of jealousy is enlarged, even ten bulls will not be able to pull it back.

    Anyway, it's too hot to stay at home, and there is still saliva to drink when making noises in front of the government. Some people lost their hearts and lived directly in front of the mayor's office.

    The mayor gave an order to solve it immediately!

    Although the power consumption is still not restored for the time being, at least the government has issued an emergency measure - distributing ice cubes!

    Although the water used for ice making is not up to drinking standards, each household can get two pieces of ice every day. One piece of ice is 70 centimeters long, 40 centimeters wide and 50 centimeters high. The melted ice is soaked in the bucket and you can take a cold bath at night.

    Despite the blessing of ice, due to temperature reasons, a piece of ice can last for no more than three hours. The delivery time of the ice delivery truck is 9:00 a.m., and the government distributes trailers. must be returned.

    At the same time, the country opened up the purchase channel of fuel generators. One million yuan for a fuel generator is not something that ordinary families can afford, but the villa area where Wen Yan lives owns 5 generators only the second day after the government promulgated it.
