Survival in the apocalypse: I exploited a bug in an infinite dungeon.
Chapter 10 Anrong City 3
Shi Jinwei's original plan was to nail wooden boards to the safety stairwell, elevator entrance, and front door to prevent robbery.
But at the entrance of these new buildings, the walls are covered with marble for aesthetic purposes, so the idea of directly nailing nails in is simply a pipe dream.
Since she still has 12000 coins left, which she can't take with her even if she doesn't spend them, Shi Jinwei plans to install three security doors.
The boss had never heard of installing a security door at the elevator entrance before, and he looked at Shi Jinwei with a scrutinizing gaze: "Young lady, your request is quite strange."
"Just tell me if you can do it or not?" She was too lazy to explain. No matter how strange it was, could it be more important than her life?
"Yes, I can, but it'll cost extra," the boss said, picking up a calculator and tapping away.
Shi Jinwei didn't know how much a security door would cost, but she wasn't afraid of the shopkeeper raising the price on the spot. If this shop didn't work out, she could always find another one that met her requirements.
Fortunately, the boss seemed to notice her impatience and indifference, and didn't dare to act arrogantly.
Shi Jinwei ordered a lot, and after the discount, each door cost 2000 coins.
She requested expedited service, so she paid an additional 500, bringing the total cost to 6500 coins.
She took the man back to measure the dimensions, and secretly slipped the installer a pack of cigarettes. Seeing that the young woman knew how to get things done, the installer patted his chest and assured her that he would come to install it that afternoon.
Jinwei didn't know if the guarantee would work, but she was certain that she didn't plan to go out.
Now that she has a place to live and supplies, she lacks nothing. As long as she can survive, clearing the level is just a matter of time.
The craftsman really didn't lie to her; he came with his men that afternoon.
The three reinforced security doors looked somewhat out of place, but Shi Jinwei was very satisfied.
On the sixth day of the game, the moderate rain turned into a torrential downpour.
The weather forecast issued a "severe rainstorm warning" and a "flood warning," reminding citizens to be careful when going out and to pay attention to safety.
But the NPCs didn't take it to heart.
It's already the rainy season, so it's normal for it to rain for ten days to half a month straight.
This is just a case of heavy rain, what's there to panic about?
Shi Jinwei was at home eating while scrolling through her phone, watching the heated discussions among netizens.
Apart from a small number of people urging everyone to stockpile food as a precaution, most people didn't take it seriously.
The game's hidden speed-up silently begins.
On the morning of the seventh day, when everyone went out, they found that the floodwaters had reached above their calves in just one night.
Someone posted this message online, and it immediately garnered a lot of support.
Some people even posted a video showing a car with a very low chassis that was completely submerged in rainwater and couldn't be started.
People rushing to work or school are complaining online about the inconvenience of travel, but this is just the beginning.
Throughout the morning, the torrential rain continued to intensify, and the water level on the streets rose rapidly.
In the morning it was at the calf level, but now it's at the knee level.
Considering safety concerns, many schools immediately suspended classes and notified parents to pick up their children.
Some companies have also made the decision to give their employees a day off.
At this point, the number of people in the supermarket began to increase.
Although it hasn't reached the point of panic buying, most people feel that traveling in the rain is inconvenient, so they should stock up on food at home.
By the eighth day, the floodwaters in the city had risen to over 1 meter.
Amidst the uproar online, rescue teams began to evacuate residents from low-rise houses and those living on the first and second floors.
But on that very day, something terrible happened!
Someone posted a video online, which was probably filmed by the person using their phone. The video occasionally shakes slightly.
In the video, rescuers are seen leading residents slowly through the water.
The inflatable boats they used to transfer people were moored not far away.
Just then, a bolt of lightning suddenly appeared overhead, followed by a thick bolt of thunder that struck directly into the water.
Rainwater conducts electricity, catching several people off guard and killing them all.
Subsequently, more similar videos appeared, mostly showing people being electrocuted in the water.
Although the manner of death did not appear particularly horrific.
But when the bodies floated on the water, the visual impact still made many people panic.
Others also filmed scenes inside the subway station.
The floodwaters poured in from the entrance like a bursting flood, completely submerging the entire subway station.
Those who had not yet been evacuated were holding onto the handrails and chairs in the car, waiting for rescue.
At that time, the water level was still rising and had reached their waists.
Some children were being held in their family members' arms or standing on chairs, their little faces filled with confusion and panic.
The video wasn't filmed today, but the footage was heartbreaking, and online discussions grew increasingly heated. Eventually, official accounts had to step in to appease the public and stabilize public sentiment.
Given the current situation, how could everyone not panic? Supermarkets are once again experiencing a buying frenzy.
Bottled water that originally cost 2 coins has increased to 8 coins, and instant noodles that cost 3 coins have increased to 10 coins.
Even so, people moved their belongings home without a care in the world, and fights even broke out.
In just one afternoon, all the supplies in the city's supermarkets were snapped up.
On the ninth day, the torrential rain still hadn't stopped, and the water level rose directly to about 2 meters.
All large supermarkets were out of stock and closed.
Suddenly, the rhetoric of "supplies shortage and impending doom" swept across various social media platforms.
Although officials have repeatedly stated that the shortage of supplies was due to the sudden torrential rain, and that the supply of supplies can be guaranteed after coordination among various departments.
But how could people who are panicked dare to believe it?
If only Anrong City experienced a severe rainstorm, they might believe this nonsense.
When one place is in trouble, help comes from all sides.
But now, it's not just Anrong City, but all over the country and even the world, that's experiencing torrential rain. Who can help them?
The more people think about it, the more panicked they become, and the more panicked they are, the more likely they are to do irrational things.
Shi Jinwei was engrossed in watching the news at home when the doorbell rang.
Since order hadn't collapsed yet, Shi Jinwei didn't lock the security door for the time being.
But now that someone is knocking on the door, she immediately becomes alert.
I turned on the video doorbell, and there stood a man and a woman, dressed in suits, holding notebooks and pens.
"Who are you?" she asked through the door without opening it.
The two immediately gave a polite smile: "Hello, resident, we are staff from the property management. The community requires us to verify the number of residents within our jurisdiction, so we need you to fill out a form."
It sounded reasonable, but Shi Jinwei was still uneasy: "What are you investigating at this time?"
"This isn't a downpour. After verification, we can respond immediately should any supplies or rescue be needed," the two continued politely.
At that moment, Shi Jinwei's phone also received a text message from the landlord.
The message told her that community staff had posted an announcement in the group chat.
She wasn't in the community group and didn't know, so the landlord specifically reminded her and added her to the group.
Only after confirming that what they said was true did Shi Jinwei open the door and take the paper and pen handed to her.
