Chapter 93 Someone is stopping
After the depressed mood was broken, she, the fish, felt more and more at ease.
In addition to having a fixed schedule every day, she has more freedom at other times. This is mainly reflected in the fact that even if she feels that she is not interested, she will not be anxious or worried, because she knows that this is just a normal phenomenon and it is not a return of the depression.
As the days enter October, the temperature seems to be increasing faster.
Originally, when there were still ten days before the end of the world, the outside temperature exceeded 50 degrees. It had just entered September at that time, and it had only risen to 55 degrees by the end of September.
——This "talent" is not that she looks down on the more than 50 degrees, but compared with the increase since entering October, this month's increase of five degrees seems very mild.
It’s only been ten days in October and the temperature has already reached sixty degrees. To achieve the same temperature increase, the time is shortened by one-third - the temperature changes come from system broadcasts, which are much more reliable than weather forecasts.
And, the higher the temperature, the more torture each degree increases.
Now Wei Jiao has placed a mobile air conditioner around the bedroom, and also placed a fan in the corner. Blowing into the corner can enhance indoor air circulation.
Another generator was added, and the original one is still next to the door, responsible for the bed, door monitoring, monitoring display and part of the air conditioner. The new one is just opposite the old one, near the windows, and is responsible for computers, lamps, air purifiers and another part of the air conditioner.
To be honest, she still felt that the generator was quite burdensome. Although it could theoretically power it, the dense wires looked quite scary.
So she specifically chose a rechargeable electric fan that didn't need to be connected to a power source. She took a few and charged them in advance, and then copied and replaced them directly.
Anyway, this electric fan is for air circulation, and it is not responsible for direct cooling. The bedroom is not very big, so the electric fan does not need to be too big, it is enough.
The consequence of increasing the air-conditioning output in the bedroom is that when standing outside the bedroom door, the chilly feeling on the ankles becomes more obvious.
So, she deliberately added a barrier in the passage from the main door to the bedroom door, supported it on the wall with a retractable pole, and hung a door curtain that was dragged to the ground.
The air-conditioning originally went downwards, and could only stick to the ground when it seeped out from the cracks in the door. She deliberately let the door curtain drag on the ground to block the path of the air-conditioning to the door, which was very effective.
The higher the temperature, the stronger the sun. She used to occasionally just open a layer of curtains to let light into the room, but now she really can't.
Not only did she have to close up all three floors, she even blocked a large cabinet in front of the bedroom window to block the transfer of heat. She would only move it when the window was opened for ventilation.
Opening the window for ventilation was getting more and more painful. It turned out that she used the time she spent every day to ventilate the bedroom when she went into the space to do Tai Chi. She did simplified Tai Chi, and one set only took more than six minutes, which was not a long time.
Moreover, she did not turn off the air conditioner during the ventilation period. Before the power was completely cut off, zero o'clock was always the power supply time. She turned on the air conditioner and opened the windows every time, trying to keep the cool air in the room and speed up the air flow.
After the power was completely cut off, the temperature outside was getting higher day by day, and the mobile air conditioner was not as good as the wall-mounted one. Every time she came out of the space to close the window, she could clearly feel the increase in temperature.
Now she could no longer leisurely finish a set and then close the window. Instead, she stayed by the window and used an electric fan standing at the window to blow outside, speeding up the air circulation and releasing the carbon dioxide accumulated in the room. go out.
I originally thought about putting a green plant in the house for photosynthesis, but then I thought about it, there is no sunlight in the house, and I have to light it separately, otherwise it will also produce carbon dioxide.
In addition, the air purifier used seems to be a new product. In addition to traditional deodorization and purification, it also adds an oxygen production function. Although it is not as powerful as the advertised home oxygen bar, it is enough for her small bedroom. .
So in the end, we adopted the simplest and fastest and most effective method: opening windows for ventilation.
Whenever this happens, she will once again lament that the bedroom is small and a little ventilation is enough.
The living room is large, so the ventilation time is longer, but because the living room is designed to adapt to high temperatures, naturally you don't care so much about the increase in indoor temperature.
Moreover, every time the balcony window is opened, it is an opportunity to obtain news from the outside world - with the window open, she can use her listening device to listen to the running sound of the outdoor air conditioner unit in the surrounding area, and she can simply judge the quality of life.
As the temperature got higher and higher, the sound of the air conditioner became weaker and weaker. Just after the first week of October, she found that she could no longer hear it.
Since most residents have solar power in their homes, she guessed that the air conditioner could not withstand the high temperature and completely failed.
In this way, even if there are other refrigeration equipment, for other residents without gold fingers, the quality of life will definitely drop a lot.
From charging batteries to powering refrigeration equipment, including powering other household appliances, especially refrigerators——
Not only does it store food, but the refrigeration equipment also relies on the ice crystals inside to cool down. Without a refrigerator that freezes repeatedly, it cannot be cooled down no matter how much you blow it.
She didn't know much about the stocking and consumption situation of each family in the community, nor did she know if anyone was out, but she could guess that it must be not peaceful outside——
Water and electricity were cut off across the city, and telephone calls could not be made. For ordinary citizens, this naturally caused trouble, difficulty and panic. But in the eyes of some people, what they saw was paralyzed surveillance and unreachable police calls.
It is the catalyst for evil thoughts and the good moment for the collapse of order.
Just a week after October, the management came to the door for the second time. As expected, he told me not to go out as much as possible, conveying the news that it was not safe outside.
Residents were also notified that domestic garbage should be packed up and thrown into the large trash can in the elevator room, which will be collected by the property management.
This actually surprised Wei Jiao. The property management company was still able to arrange such trivial work. From small to large, order could still be maintained.
In addition, another truly surprising news was brought - the official uniform distribution of domestic water, the specific time and distribution rules were written on the paper and handed in.
Wei Jiao did not go.
She decided this after repeated thinking. In terms of water needs, she was not short of water; in terms of going out to obtain information, she felt that going out would do more harm than good.
You have to queue up to get water, which means that many people gather for a long time. It is easier for a big person like her to leave an impression, and in such uneven circumstances, the possibility of conflict will also increase. .
For her, who is more serious than anything else, the risk is really high, so she simply chooses to stay behind closed doors. When the outside world begins to experience turmoil, you don’t care so much about obtaining information.
But she never expected that instead of looking for trouble, trouble would come uninvited.
On a day in mid-October, when the temperature steadily rose to 63 degrees, her monitor issued a "someone is staying" prompt for the first time.
