This large-scale power outage lasted for nearly two months. Because of the frequent earthquakes and aftershocks in various regions, the power department did not dare to send employees to the damaged areas to deal with it. Of course, even if the boss of the power department had this idea, most of the employees survived. It's important, and I dare not go to dangerous places at will.
For the past two months, Qi Sheng has been silently treating Qi Lei well, but he has not had a more in-depth conversation with him again. The father and son seem to be enjoying the delicate relationship now in tacit understanding, and Qi Lei no longer rejects Qi Sheng's efforts.
The relationship between the two people has made great progress now, and it is now May.
Various disasters in the past six months have made people in the entire global village finally understand the violent temper of Mother Earth, and human beings cannot stay in a seemingly safe and warm shell forever. People finally decided to face it bravely.
Even though earthquakes still occur occasionally in many places, power companies and communication companies have begun to send technicians to repair power stations and network base stations in various places.
The whole society seems to be trying to recover, and Qi Sheng also plans to go out for a trip.
In order to deal with the apocalypse, he had stored a lot of equipment and materials in the space. He had no reason to take them out before, but now it is time to find an excuse to "ship" them out, especially some of the solar generators and diesel generators. , It is definitely a very important disaster relief material today!
Qi Sheng didn't bring anyone with him when he went out this time, he borrowed the van from Qi Mao's family, waved his hand and drove off gracefully under the dissatisfaction expressions of the two children, one directly unhappy and the other implying unhappy.
Qi Sheng went out this time because he wanted to see the current situation in the city. There was no news in the past two months, and Qi Sheng still wanted to know the severity of the disaster.
He set the destination as the urban area. Originally, Qi Sheng expected to arrive before noon. Unfortunately, due to the blizzard and frequent earthquakes some time ago, the highway leading to the urban area collapsed.
Qi Sheng had no choice but to take a detour, but unfortunately, the detour is endless now, and there are often situations where detours and detours have to be continued.
Qi Sheng didn't dare to drive too fast, he was afraid that he would fall into landslides if he didn't pay attention.
He occasionally glanced at the scenery on both sides of the road, and couldn't help sighing when he saw the collapsed buildings, the broken and thick trees, and the broken wires hanging from the branches.
There are not many people who dare to come out now, Qi Sheng has been driving for a long time and only occasionally encounters one or two trucks, and they are usually miniature trucks, and today's big trucks cannot be driven out at all.
On the way there, it was still within Qi Sheng's acceptance range, but as we got closer to the urban area, the collapses became more frequent.
It was another landslide, and it was also an important intersection into the city. At this time, obstacles had been placed at this intersection, and there were staff members in traffic police uniforms guarding it.
Seeing Qi Sheng driving over, the traffic police officer stepped forward and asked, "Are you going to the city alone? What are you going to do in the city?"
The staff was still holding the pen and paper, Qi Sheng took the work card he handed over and looked at it carefully and said: "My previous home was at the third ring road, and I plan to go back to get something while there is nothing going on these few days, by the way Then buy some daily necessities in the city."
The staff carefully took down his situation and said, "Where is the third ring road? Many communities have been closed. If you want to get something, you must first make sure that the community is open, otherwise it will be a waste of time. Tell me about your community, and I will help you." Check it out."
Qi Sheng said the name of the street and community in the area under his jurisdiction, and the traffic police quickly flipped through it twice and replied: "You can't enter the community of yours, and don't even think about taking things. If you want to buy daily necessities, go to the green area on the fourth ring road." Water Park, which is currently the largest concentration of daily necessities transactions."
"The disaster in the urban area is so severe? The whole community cannot be entered?"
Qi Sheng was puzzled by the extent of the disaster now. Although his community is not a high-end low-density community, it is also a real estate project of a big developer. Such a shabby project
The traffic policeman saw his disbelief, perhaps because he had seen this kind of situation a lot, so he explained: "It's not the whole community, but the people who went to investigate have identified that there are cases of broken walls and corridors collapsed, in case of accidents, So it's all blocked."
Before there was no blockade, some bold people sneaked back to get things, but because they didn't know the situation of the house, it was roughly estimated that more than ten people were killed by the suddenly falling wall, and many people were injured. Just in case, the government organized a house damage assessment, and sealed off all the residential areas containing dangerous elements, lest anyone would venture into it again.
Xu was afraid that Qi Sheng would also sneak home, the traffic policeman said again: "Don't even think about sneaking in, the closer you go to the city, the more people will be stationed."
"Then if I want to buy power generation equipment or solar water heaters, do I also go to the green park?"
"Those things aren't. Isn't there an open space two kilometers in front of Lushui Park? It's all concentrated there now." The traffic policeman briefly finished speaking, glanced at Qi Sheng and continued: "But buying those things requires gold or other things. For valuable things, merchants don’t accept money now.”
"Cash no longer accepted?"
"That's right. Originally, the merchants in Lushui Park didn't want to accept cash, and the government gave in after many coordinations. But if you use cash, a bag of toilet paper usually costs more than 100 yuan. You have to be mentally prepared. "
"So expensive!"
"Hey, there is no way. Most factories are closed now. If no one is producing, they are in stock. Of course, they are eligible for a price increase, but you can also exchange things. You can go to the park to see the specific exchange conditions."
Qi Sheng got a general idea from the traffic police, saw another car coming behind him and didn't ask any more questions, thanked him and drove to Lushui Park.
Sure enough, as the traffic policeman said, almost every intersection is equipped with obstacles and traffic policemen. Qi Sheng drove slowly to Lushui Park according to the cleared intersections, and found that it has become a super-large shopping mall.
Although there are a lot of people buying and selling things, the order of the market is not bad. The main reason is that many merchants have several strong men watching the stalls, and there are many policemen and security guards around to watch the order of the venue.
Qi Sheng searched for a long time before he parked the car and walked into the shopping plaza, but was shocked by the scary cash prices and barter conditions.
Not to mention the cash price, basically it has risen by more than ten times, just like that, cash transactions are still limited!
As for bartering things, Qi Sheng was quite interested.
For example, it is still a bag of toilet paper, now you can get a catty of potatoes, and if it is wheat or rice, half a catty is enough!
Qi Sheng was surprised by the value of the food now, but he was not surprised when he thought about it later.
Today's weather is changeable, and the large-scale blizzard before indicates that there will be no grain harvest to a large extent this year, and price increases will become inevitable.
Qi Sheng continued to stroll around the shopping plaza, and was lucky enough to meet a former student's parent.
The parent's surname is Wang. He used to be the owner of a small company. He used to have a good family background and was more self-cultivated. At this moment, he was carrying a small bag of rice, and when he saw Qi Sheng, he took the initiative to say hello.
"Ms. Qi, are you here to buy something too?"
"Yeah, come here to see, how are you doing? Where do you live?"
Qi Sheng remembered that the Wang's parents were also from a scholarly family in the previous generation, and they were regarded as natives in the city. In this case, they also said that they may not have any relatives in the countryside or have a relatively distant relationship with their relatives in the countryside.
"It can still survive. The government built a batch of temporary shelters at the beginning of the year, and our family, old and young, live in them."
"Shelter?"
"Well, it's almost like a warehouse in a factory. There are basic tents for families. We usually live in tents."
"It was so cold a while ago, living in a tent?"
Wang's parents smiled wryly when they heard the words: "That can't be helped. Except for the villa area, who would dare to live in a residential building, but the insulation effect of the protective shed is not bad, and there is heating equipment in the tent, so it won't be unbearable."
In order to prevent the people living in the tent from freezing in the cold weather, the electricity in the protective shed has never been cut off, but even so, the living conditions are still much worse than those in my own home.
Qi Sheng was curious: "Is there no one in the neighborhoods in the city now?"
"Almost, except for the low-rise villa area, few people dare to stay in it."
Speaking of this, the Wang parent also reminded Qi Sheng: "Mr. Qi, do you still want to go home to get things when you come to the city this time? I advise you to dispel this idea, in case you are hit by a broken wall or stone that you didn't notice. Now, playing 120 may not work!"
"So serious? Now the hospital is also closed?"
"The hospitals in the urban area have been closed long ago. As for the tertiary hospitals in the suburbs, they are still open, but now the hospitals are already full of injured patients, and the halls are also full of patients."
Qi Sheng could imagine that scene, and thinking of the current situation of the hospital, he couldn't help but wonder about the scene of the hospital in their county. If something goes wrong at this time, the treatment will really become a big problem.
The two chatted for a long time, after Qi Sheng bid farewell to Wang's parents, he planned to go shopping in the market again, since he came out, it would be a pity not to buy something. But thinking of the lack of food now, Qi Sheng didn't take up this part of the resources, but bought a lot of daily necessities with cash.
On the way back, it was okay at first, there were occasional passing vehicles, and there were small farmyards on both sides of the road, until there was a section of the road with fields on both sides, Qi Sheng was "fortunately" encountered a robbery.
There was a landslide before this section of the road, so the spacious road was narrowed by more than half in an instant, which made it easier for some people to quickly set up obstacles.
When Qi Sheng stopped the car, three strong men with machetes covered their faces walked over in a swaggering manner immediately upon seeing this.
Seeing this posture, Qi Sheng knew that he couldn't beat them, so he directly took out the pistol and gave them one by one.
Don't give the villain any chance to speak at all!
The effect of the drug was prepared by Qi Sheng himself, and the weight was very large, and the person who was still complacent just now collapsed within a few seconds.
Qi Sheng waited for a while and got out of the car with the electric baton when no other accomplices came out.
He took off the hoods of the three people, thought for a while, took out ropes from his schoolbag, and tied them together. After tying them all to a nearby tree, before leaving, Qi Sheng made a reminder card and told him Call the police and expose their shameless robbery in all aspects.
Once again, Qi Sheng was in a good mood. When he arrived at their town, he took out the solar generator and some fruits and meat from the space on a relatively remote road.
Qi Sheng felt that today was a fruitful return, and his family must be very happy, but he didn't know that at Qi Sheng's house, the whole family was red-eyed, and Qi Sen and Qi Lei even started the car to look for Qi Sheng along the way.
So Qi Sheng drove to the entrance of the village, and saw the familiar license plate number and the two people in the car.
"Xiao Mori, Leilei, where are you going?"
"dad!"
