Chapter 74 The first day of the end of the world
After washing up in the simple bathroom, Wei Jiao stepped out of the space and returned to the cool room.
She went to the computer to check that the game download was complete. She was not in a hurry to arrange other download tasks, but turned to the window and looked down.
Naturally, I didn't see anything. It was the time when the sun was high in the sky and no one would go out.
But she wasn't looking at people. She took a brief look down to make sure there wasn't some big disaster happening outside. Then she went back to bed with her heart in mind and picked up her phone to check the group chat.
This look is just in time for the excitement.
She scrolled up and saw what everyone was talking about. It turned out that the property management was pulling the purchase cart.
It is said that the weather is abnormal now, and everyone is almost trapped at home due to the high temperature, so the property management team organizes everyone to go shopping together. Those with cars can bring those without cars, and stocking up more goods at home will make them feel more at ease.
The time set was ten o'clock in the evening, and the location was a warehouse-style supermarket a little away from the community.
At ten o'clock it was completely dark, and the temperature had dropped a bit, so you could indeed go out. Wei Jiao knew that in the supermarket, after all, there were several portions stored in the space.
She couldn't help but nodded, secretly thinking that she had made the right choice for this community, the property management was so reliable.
Bring the entire community to a wholesale warehouse supermarket, which not only allows for the convenient and quick purchase of large amounts of supplies, but also allows most residents in the community to have food at home, which reduces the possibility of trouble in the future when the situation gets worse.
He has a strong sense of crisis, responds quickly, and has good strategies.
……Um? Wait a moment……
Wei Jiao's eyes twitched, no way... Is there someone with a golden finger in the property of this community?
The system popped up: "You can search it."
Since getting the new function "Search and Block", she has only blocked herself and has not searched for others.
Really...she really doesn't care that much!
Anyway, I have blocked it so that others will not find it. I really have no curiosity about the existence of golden fingers nearby. She just wanted to close her door and live her own little life, so she never checked whether there were other golden fingers in the community.
Even now that she had this suspicion, she didn't have the strong interest to look it up.
But now that the conversation was over, she didn't feel disgusted, so she started searching.
In the "Search and Block" function, the blocking is turned on silently, and the search opens a translucent display screen out of thin air in front of her, showing the same black and gray color as the space, and using green lines to depict the surrounding areas. architecture.
Wei Jiao squinted her eyes and checked. The positioning of the green dot that represented herself made things much simpler. She quickly judged the orientation and surrounding distribution from the building she was in.
Her search range was 400 meters in radius (she highly suspected it was related to the V4 version), covering almost the entire community, except for some corners, the other side and the opposite side of the road were within the range.
Scanning around, she didn't see anything other than herself.
She asked the system: "Does this mean there is no golden finger?"
The system reminds: "It may be blocked by others."
"Oh, yes," Wei Jiao agreed, "Most people who can update this function will choose to block it."
Thinking about it again, it's true, why must it be the credit of Goldfinger? Isn't it possible that people are alert to begin with?
She shook her head, turned off the search, and looked down at her phone again.
If you scroll down a little, you can see that many people in the group have responded. Then scroll down to the current timeline. Everyone is discussing the time issue and thinks they can go out later.
Wei Jiao can also understand that the work and rest of the whole society have tacitly moved back now, and the business hours of places like supermarkets are almost set at night. If you go out later, the temperature will be lower, and you are not afraid of the supermarket closing.
Now the temperature has climbed to 50 degrees, and the sun shines at three o'clock every day. The sun rises at four o'clock. Total sunset.
Whether it's ten o'clock or twelve o'clock, the temperature actually doesn't drop to 40 degrees, but even though there is only a five-digit difference between 45 degrees and 40 degrees, the physical sensations are completely different.
——Although 40 degrees does not feel cool, 45 degrees will definitely make people miserable.
She suddenly felt a surge of anxiety. Currently, there are no restrictions on the power supply for residents in City B. Except for those communities with old lines and unsustainable equipment, other places can still maintain it, but how long can it last?
The Internet is full of official power-saving initiatives issued by various provinces and cities. In many provinces and cities, the supply of electricity exceeds demand, and even residents have begun to supply electricity in different periods. City B is the capital, so the situation will be better, but in the end of the world when natural disasters are raging, it will be better. Where to go?
The temperature has continued to rise every year in the past few years, and the country has accumulated experience and ability to deal with the problem of power shortage, but under the fierce attack of high temperatures this year, those seem to be worth mentioning.
She sighed, looked down at the group chat, and found that a new result had been discussed. The property management company had moved the time back two hours to 12 o'clock in the evening, and people could sign up until one hour before departure.
So she fell into a new dilemma - should she go or not?
In terms of needs, she naturally lacks nothing, and there is absolutely no need to occupy a share of other people's survival supplies.
For Qing, of course she is not happy to be crowded with people in the 40-degree temperature. It would be more comfortable to have the air conditioner blowing at home. For Li, as long as she does not stand out, she can minimize her sense of presence.
It seems that all roads lead to nowhere.
But she gritted her teeth, not particularly willingly, and found an argument to support going - going is a great opportunity to obtain information.
If the situation was out of control and the situation was chaotic, she would definitely hide at home and close the door tightly, and would not go out until the building collapsed, but that was obviously not the case now.
Although the weather is bad now, the electricity can still support, society is still functioning, and the Internet can push information to our eyes.
But this information is not that information. No matter how many tragedies she has seen and how many local policies she knows, it cannot compare to confirming the actual situation where she lives with her own eyes.
If she goes out with the community, she can to some extent find out the information about the people inside the community and see who needs to be vigilant. She may even be able to confront a few obvious thorns in the group chat.
When you go to the supermarket, you can also understand the number and living conditions of nearby residents through the purchase order, and you can get a glimpse of the social order from the small to the large.
She flipped through the Solitaire list. There were many people who had signed up. If you were a thoughtful person, you might take a screenshot and write down the list of people who purchased the supplies. If you were a malicious person, this list would most likely become a preliminary crime list.
Wei Jiao grinned - but she was not afraid.
She was just afraid of trouble and had too many troubles. Who would want to live in peace and quiet and live in chaos? She is willing to work hard to plan for this stability, but that does not mean she will give up everything unconditionally for it.
She pursed her lips and added her message at the end of the group chat.
