Natural disasters are coming: I am hoarding materials to build infrastructure in the last days

Chapter 34 Power Outage
Looking in the direction they were looking, I saw a bit of thick smoke billowing in the distance, and the rest of the line of sight was just blocked by the curtains.

Xu Yating saw her coming out and waved to her excitedly, "Sister Jiang Xia, come and see, that building is on fire, and the fire seems to be getting bigger and bigger."

Su Jiangxia came behind the two and saw a fire on the 6th floor of Building 16. The smoke was billowing and the fire was very strong and spread to the roof of the building.

"I don't know if anyone is in that building."

Su Zhiyuan looked at the fire with a complicated expression. He suddenly remembered that he hadn't called the police yet and hurriedly took out his cell phone.

As soon as I pressed the fire call, I heard the sound of fire trucks in the distance.

"I heard the sound of the fire truck. It seemed that someone called the police."

Xu Yating turned around and saw Su Zhiyuan preparing to make a call.

Su Zhiyuan put the phone away, "I heard it too."

As the sound of the fire truck got closer and closer, the fire truck soon appeared in the community.

Su Jiangxia saw at a glance that the fire truck had been modified. A sprinkler was installed on the roof. Water mist was constantly sprinkled from the roof, which could effectively prevent the body temperature from rising in a short period of time.

Near the fire building, firefighters quickly set up a fire ladder.

The fire hose was quickly turned on, and water sprayed towards the 16th floor.

After 10 minutes of spraying water, the fire on the 16th floor was extinguished. Firefighters then sprayed water on the 17th to 21st floors.

The fires on the five floors were also extinguished one by one, but because the fire ladders and water pipes were inaccessible to the floors above the 22nd floor, we could only watch it burn out bit by bit.

The fire lasted for more than four hours. When the fire finally became smaller, firefighters risked their lives to put out the last source of the fire.

During this period, some owners of the community took pictures of this scene and sent it to the owner group.

The people in Building 6 knew that their building was on fire, so they could only run around anxiously in the air-raid shelter, but there was nothing they could do.

As soon as the sun went down, people from Boyue Community came back one after another.

Many people felt sad when they saw that six buildings above the 6th floor were burned black by the fire.

As for the owners of six buildings with 6 or more floors, looking at the burned-out houses, the expressions on their faces were nothing but despair.

Many female homeowners broke down on the spot when they saw the tragic situation in their homes, falling to the ground and crying.

Su Jiangxia didn't know this. She went back to her room after seeing the fire truck arriving at Boyue Community.

There are still several pieces of land in the space that have not been loosened. She must seize the time to loosen the soil and plant grain, fruits and pasture for cattle and sheep.

She checked the amount of pasture and it should be able to sustain the sheep for five or six days.

According to the growth rate of crops in black soil, one crop of pasture should be harvested in five days.

Although loosening the soil is not very tiring, it cannot hold up too much ground.

After loosening two pieces of land, Su Jiangxia was so tired that her back and legs were weak.

I drank a glass of spring water, then sat on the grass and rested for a while, then resumed my work after regaining some strength.

When the last two pieces of land were left, Su Jiangxia could no longer loosen the soil.

She spread the grass seeds on the loose soil, and then sprinkled watermelon seeds and cantaloupe seeds.

The sweet potatoes haven't sprouted yet, so they can't be planted yet, so they planted the corn first.

Finally, I left a piece of land that has not yet been loosened. I will continue to loosen the soil when I have a good rest tomorrow.

After doing this, she went to the chicken pen to check the feed. When she saw that there was still feed, she added a little water.

I don’t know if those chicks grew very fast because they were in space or because they drank water from the fountain.

It was still furry a few days ago, but now it has started to grow hard hairs.

There were also sheep in the sheepfold. Three of the sheep had bulging bellies. She suspected that the three ewes were pregnant with lambs.

If she really is pregnant with a lamb, there will be more and more sheep, and I feel happy just thinking about it.The two cows were getting more and more energetic. Su Jiangxia took a look at their genders. The bigger one was a bull and the smaller one was a cow. She just didn't know if the two cows were related.

I patted the heads of two cows, threw a handful of grass inside, and then got out of the space.

When I came out and saw the bed, I couldn't move my feet immediately.

But today, after a day of loosening soil in the space, she was covered in sweat. She couldn't bear the sticky feeling for even a minute.

She quickly ran to the bathroom to wash her hair and take a shower before lying down on the bed to rest comfortably.

When I woke up after a long sleep, it was already dark outside the window.

Su Jiangxia got up and walked to the window and found that the entire community was dark. Only 6 villas in the villa area had lights on. Counting hers, there were 7 villas with lights on.

"Thorn."

Su Jiangxia narrowed her eyes and reached out to close the curtains.

The curtains for every window in the villa are double-layer thickened non-transparent curtains.

As long as the curtains are closed, the lights in the house cannot be seen from the outside.

"Sister Jiang Xia, it's time to eat." Xu Yating's voice came from outside the door.

"Here we come." Su Jiangxia opened the door and saw the light in the living room was on.

She came to the window and drew the curtains.

"What's wrong? Sister Jiang Xia?"

Seeing Su Jiangxia's vigilant behavior, Xu Yating asked her doubts.

"Is the community out of power?" Su Jiangxia asked.

"Yes, I heard that there were several large and small fires in several places in Luochuan City today, resulting in a power outage in the entire Luochuan City."

In the evening, she followed Su Zhiyuan around the community and heard a lot of news.

"So you know why I closed the curtains?"

Xu Yating also reacted at this moment, "I understand."

With that said, she walked to the floor-to-ceiling window on the terrace and pulled up the curtain.

After closing the curtains, the two went down to the first floor, and Xu Yating took the initiative to close all the curtains on the first floor.

Su Zhiyuan looked at her confused, "Yating, what are you doing?"

"Now the entire Luochuan City has a power outage. Our place is so brightly lit, how annoying it is."

When Su Zhiyuan heard what she said, he reacted instantly.

It is said that if wealth is not exposed, the world has begun to go into chaos. If they live a better life than others, it will really lead to disaster.

"It's still as thoughtful as you think."

"How could I have thought of this? Sister Jiang Xia reminded me just now."

When Su Zhiyuan heard this, he immediately turned to Su Jiangxia with a smile and began to praise: "Sister, you are so foresighted. You are my role model, the role model for me to learn from. I salute you..."

Su Jiangxia was amused by his words, "Don't be poor, what are you cooking tonight? I'm going to starve to death."

"Don't worry, it's all your favorite food. Come and take a seat, please——"

Su Jiangxia came to the dining table and sat down, and saw the four dishes on the dining table, stewed crab meat and lion's head, fried pipa shrimp, chestnut braised cabbage heart, and spicy and sour potato shreds. They were all her favorites.

It seems that calling my brother to live with me is really a wise choice.

Su Jiangxia picked up a Pipa shrimp and said, "By the way, I want to go out after dinner."
