After hearing this notice, people began looking for plastic bottles to make their own oxygen cylinders.
All the plastic bottles in the store were cleared out.
Not just plastic ones, we'll take any soy sauce glass bottles as long as they're large in capacity.
Everyone makes oxygen cylinders.
Following air tanks, various large-volume bottles with excellent sealing properties have also become precious materials.
Some people even searched through garbage dumps in search of bottles that could store air.

In the early morning of the fourteenth day in Flower Field Town, the suffocation time increased to twenty-four minutes.
After dawn, several more bodies were found in front of some homes.
They were buried so quietly that no funeral was even held.
People are increasingly aware of the importance of air. They never thought that something that they hardly noticed in their daily lives could be so important to them.
In addition to making their own oxygen cylinders, people took out the diesel stored in their homes, poured gasoline from their cars' tanks, and lined up at the police station to replace compressed air.
In the small market, coins can no longer buy anything related to air.
Some people who are desperate or have ulterior motives start to take evil paths and start robbing.
There were several robberies in the town every day, targeting the elderly, women, and lonely people.
Whenever patrolling police appeared, these people quickly ran away.
And what if he was caught
The suffocating moment of the night comes every day. Is putting these people in jail to let them wait for death, or to provide them with oxygen
You know, even compressed oxygen for public servants is in short supply.
In the end, the people who were caught were just criticized and educated, and the items were returned. The price of the crime was too small.
Fu Anan was on the second floor of the villa, watching a dispute that the police at the end of the street were handling.
There was no fear or apology in the robber's eyes.
After the police left, they even provoked the residents who had called the police and left the end of the street arrogantly.
Some families who were robbed went to the police station for help, but now all the police officers in the police station are busy. It is the maximum they can assign to go out on patrol and maintain law and order. How can they have the energy to help them find their lost oxygen tanks
That is even more impossible.
The only thing we can do is to register them and promise to punish them severely if they are caught.
They were given a placebo.
The police's capacity is gradually being compressed and its credibility is gradually decreasing.

On the fifteenth day in Flower Field Town, the suffocation time increased to forty-eight minutes.
The usage time of a flower field fresh air can is only half an hour.
Many people died due to lack of oxygen due to lack of preparation.
The bodies that had not been buried in time were placed in the town square, including the person whose air tank was stolen yesterday.
People became nervous and extremely cautious.
He no longer took remote roads, no longer acted alone, and even if he had any transactions, he would move them next to the police station.
Accompany each other and advance and retreat together.
Even so, robberies are becoming more and more serious.
##
Inside the villa
Fu Anan was a little worried.
Originally they thought that stockpiling eighty air cans was already a lot, but the air cans could only last for half an hour.
In total, these air tanks are enough for two people to use for only 20 hours.
After the consumption of the previous few days, they had used up four cans of air.
At this rate of consumption, these air tanks will not be enough to survive until the 30th day.
Fu Anan looked at Fu Yizhi,
"Brother Fu, shall we go get some compressed air? It's not a good idea to just sit there and do nothing.
In addition, if we don’t go out, others might think we have a lot of supplies and are a big fat sheep.”
