This earthquake was much stronger than the earthquake a few months ago. Most people who were sleeping were awakened. Some people lived in houses that were not very strong and felt that the whole world was shaking.

The only earthquake that most people in S City experienced was the one a few months ago, but the earthquake was not that strong, so this earthquake made many people panic.

Some people have learned first aid knowledge and asked their family members to hide in the bathroom with their children. Then they rushed to the door and opened it to prevent the door frame from deforming and blocking the escape exit. Finally, they dragged the thick cushions on the sofa and rushed into the bathroom, placing the cushions on themselves and their family members.

On the head.

Someone lived on the second floor. Since the floor was not high, he opened the window in a panic and jumped down.

Some people live in high-rise buildings and have no choice but to hug their families and hide under the sturdy table to pray...

Fortunately, although the vibration amplitude of this earthquake was large, it did not last long.

Except for some unstable self-built houses, brick houses, rental houses, and greenhouses that collapsed, the most serious damage to most other houses was only part of the walls and ceilings, and the things in the house were overturned and the glass was broken and became a mess.

.

Some buildings with strong earthquake resistance were only slightly damaged, and the people inside were in false alarm.

This is the case in the community where You Xi is located. Because it is a high-rise building, its seismic resistance index was strong when it was first built. Therefore, the earthquake only caused the furniture to shake and damaged some unstable items and lamps in the house.

The walls are basically fine, and the glass is made of two layers, or even three or four layers, so not all of them have been damaged yet.

However, the residents in the building did not dare to sleep anymore. They wrapped themselves tightly and went out to ask each other for news and conditions.

The same goes for the villa area. Residents wearing pajamas and carrying pesticides waited in fear for a long time in the open space outside until the shaking stopped.

They looked at the villa with only some exterior bricks missing and breathed a long sigh of relief.

Afterwards, some people ignored the security advice and quickly went home to get some protective clothing and tools. Some people did not dare to go back and had to wrap up their clothes tightly. Everyone stayed in the open space to avoid a second, stronger earthquake.

There are still four security guards left in the community, all of them are lonely people who really have nowhere to go.

One of them lives in a house in the villa area where the owner was poisoned by a poisonous butterfly. The other three, Xiaodong, lives in Xu Yan's house, and the other two live in vacant houses in two other buildings. They are also scattered.

Just in case something happens, it's easy to call over for help.

The four security guards no longer expect any salary. Several people in the villa and building died of butterfly poison, and some supplies were left at home. After a vote chaired by Xu Yan, these supplies were divided equally among the four security guards.

As a reward for staying here and continuing to work.

They are responsible for the community's garbage, daily maintenance and cleaning, and centralized pet feeding.

At first, some residents were reluctant and wanted the supplies, especially those who originally lived next door.

But Xu Yan said that if he did not distribute these supplies to the security guards, then he would take the security guards home and be responsible for their food, drink and housing issues like he did, or else he would deal with the daily community work issues himself. After all, no one would want to work in vain.

Those residents knew that even if they distributed the supplies themselves, with so many people, they would not be able to get a pack and a half of instant noodles, so they finally gave up and allowed the security guards to happily distribute the supplies and continue to send them out.

After an earthquake, it is a normal procedure for people to leave the building temporarily and wait in an open area for several hours to half a day.

As soon as the residents who were originally trapped in several high-rise buildings were unable to move when the earthquake stopped, they all took protective clothing and tools, some drinking water, shook their heads and walked down the stairs from the building to the open space for refuge.

People in the villa area saw their outfits and considered that they would have to stay in the open air for a long time. Later, some villa residents went back to get protective clothing and some food.

Fortunately, all the major supermarkets were open the day before, and the big supermarket opposite the community was also open.

Yesterday, almost everyone in the community went shopping. Although there were purchase restrictions and huge crowds of people, and everyone was competing for everything, everyone finally replenished a lot of supplies.

Residents who had previously participated in the robbery incident at the supermarket in the community were frightened. When they went to the supermarket to rush to buy, they trembled when they saw people in uniforms fighting against the robbery.

After all, I did something wrong. Although the whole process was very confusing, and I was so confused that I didn't know whether I was responsible or not. But after all, it was still a peaceful era, and it was impossible to say that I was not afraid.

Even if the rescue team members and the police in the supermarket don't know the situation inside their community at all, or even if they know, they don't have the manpower to deal with it for the time being, they are still scared and try their best to comply with the purchase limit requirements and not take more supplies to avoid causing trouble.

There were also several residents who had good relationships with each other who called their friends to ask for help to see if they could buy more supplies. In the end, friends of several residents sent some supplies directly.

Someone told everyone not to worry, saying that big supermarkets will be open today, and some wholesale markets, shops and small supermarkets with stocks will probably be open tomorrow, so they should remember to go out early to buy.

Little did we know that there would be an earthquake before the next day arrived.

In the end, more than half of the residents in the open space of the community put on the one-piece protective suits purchased after the giant insect incident.

The residents here all have some money, and through various channels, they have more or less equipment.

Most of these protective clothing are white, plus a 3m mask, covering the whole person except for a pair of eyes. Even for these eyes, some people directly wear transparent protective glasses, truly fully armed.

Therefore, Xu Yan, who was busy with the security guards, never noticed that there was a family that never went downstairs or even stepped out of the house.

You Xi woke up at the very beginning of the earthquake. She immediately got up from the tent and didn't even have to open the door of the star house. She only had to go to the window and take a look and she knew that there was an earthquake in S City.

She experienced it personally during the last earthquake, and this time she was in the Star House, with the shaking city outside the window. With her eyesight, she could even see the glass roof of a farmer's market a few roads away collapsed in the earthquake.

When supermarkets opened in various districts across the city the day before, she also saw many people online saying that it was much safer outside than before.

Although many plants were burned, leaving them bare everywhere, with puddles of black burn marks, or patches of yellow inhibitory powder sprinkled on the black ash, it did look a lot more reassuring.

For this reason, many self-employed traders, such as small supermarkets, wholesale vegetable vendors with stocks, and stores in food wholesale markets, have said they will open today.

Although these people have been trapped at home for more than ten days, they are not short of supplies. They are just afraid of mutated plants and animals and have responded to official calls to stay at home.

Now that the situation in the city is getting better, we must continue to open our doors for business. On the one hand, we have to make money, and on the other hand, we can help people who lack various supplies at home.

But now, there is an earthquake!

The earthquake outside was far stronger than the last time. Fortunately, it was calm inside the Star House. Not only was there no shaking, but even the noisy sounds from outside could hardly be heard.

She could only hear the noise coming from the door of the Star House, which came from their own house, and You Feng and Fan Qi couldn't even hear it.

Her parents were sleeping soundly and deeply, and she decided not to wake them up yet.

After the earthquake stopped, she found that the residents on other floors seemed to have left the building and sought refuge in the open space outside. She was afraid that there would be aftershocks, and nowhere was as safe as the Star House, so she thought about it and finally went back to the tent to continue sleeping.

Because of the Star House, a safe alien space, Fan Qi and You Feng didn't know there was an earthquake last night until they woke up and washed up the next day, stepped out of the Star House and found their daughter packing up some broken furnishings and a floor lamp.

At this time, other residents in the building had already gone home. You Feng and Fan Qi turned on the TV and started surfing the Internet at the same time. They found that the Internet was full of misery and misery again.

You Feng was worried about Mr. You's situation and called him immediately.

This time, Mr. You and You Hai's family of four were not so lucky. Although their house did not collapse, due to the illegal construction of the family upstairs, the balcony was rebuilt, and the balcony collapsed during the earthquake, leaving their yard in a mess.

, the walls of the south-facing living room and room also collapsed.

Fortunately, everyone in the house was fine. The Youhai couple who were sleeping in the large south-facing room were woken up by the broken wall in the middle of the night. They were busy packing up useful things at home while arguing with the people upstairs to ask them to compensate.

"There is no point in paying money at this time. Half of the wall of the house has collapsed, and it won't be repaired for a while. In this situation, if the air leaks at night, it is easy for mutated creatures to come in. You should clean up and move to our place."

You Feng reiterated the previous plan with You Xi, "We have vacant rooms on the eighth, sixth and third floors downstairs. I will go find the security guard later. You pack your things and bring important and useful things.

, especially food, remember not to miss anything, come here quickly.”

You Hai also owns a car. It is a semi-new but not old van. In addition to being able to accommodate five people, it is not difficult to also load some supplies for the whole family.

You Feng was talking on the phone here, and You Xi patted Fan Qi on the shoulder to comfort her: "Don't worry, dad and I have agreed not to mention the star house and supplies, but after grandpa and the others move here, they can

Take care of her nearby, even if she doesn’t have anything to eat, she can give you some support. I know what I’m doing, so don’t worry.”

That was You Feng's biological father. As long as You Feng didn't mention his daughter's star house and supplies, Fan Qi had no objection to other matters.

When You Feng and You Xi went downstairs to look for security at Xu Yan's place, things didn't go as smoothly for You Hai on the other side of the city as You Feng thought.

First of all, there is the problem of the house. In fact, in You Hai's community or even the entire area, it is rare that illegal construction on the upper floor results in disaster for the people downstairs. This time the You family was innocently implicated, which is really unlucky.

After You Hai tidied up the house and answered the phone, he began to pack his belongings. When Yang Huizhen ran upstairs to argue with no results and began to argue, their daughter You Meiming had already dialed the helpline according to the instructions in the news.

Because the previous mutated animals and plants caused the destruction of many people's houses, S City has always had a lot of backup in arranging housing.

You Meiming was very smart. She first told her that she was not yet an adult and that there were five people in her family, including an old man in his eighties who had poor hearing and mobility, so the other party quickly coordinated a place for them.

In a three-star hotel fifteen minutes' drive from the community, the other party can arrange a suite for them with two bedrooms.

It's just that currently they can only provide a place to stay and water and electricity for free. The hotel doesn't care about food, but they can use the hotel's kitchen within the specified time, and they have to be responsible for cleaning themselves.

Of course, before they leave home to check in, a rescue team that is assisting with earthquake rescue missions nearby will come to verify their situation. Only if the situation is true can they check in, otherwise the room will be cancelled.

You Meiming became happy when she heard the name of the hotel. She knew that hotel, which she always passed by when going to and from school. It was a business hotel, which was a bit higher than an ordinary three-star hotel.

She asked her brother You Yingming to go upstairs and call Yang Huizhen downstairs, while she told You Hai and Mr. You the good news.

Although Mr. You doesn't know much about business hotels, he was very happy to hear that he now has a place to live without having to sleep in a house with no walls and drafts.

Yang Huizhen is also happy to know that she can stay in a three-star hotel for free. They are different from those families whose houses were destroyed by mutated plants, because the house is not seriously damaged and many things in the house are good. Now they only need to pack the clothes, daily necessities and parts of the five people.

Food can be moved.

Although cooking is a bit inconvenient, the environment is better than at home, and can you be unhappy with free water, electricity and gas?

As a result, not long after they were happy, they heard You Hai said that they had agreed with You Feng to move downstairs to their residence in the community.

If there was no such thing as a hotel, Yang Huizhen would definitely have no problem with it.

But now I will definitely weigh and hesitate. Although You Feng's community is high-end, it takes an hour and a half to drive there. Later, I heard You Hai urging his son and daughter to help pack all the food and snacks at home, asking them to be careful and not miss anything.

Down.

Yang Huizhen actually didn't plan to take all the food to the hotel. Their house only had no air leaks from the wall, the yard was still there, and the gate was in good condition.

She planned to tidy up a little and lock the important things - especially the heavier rice, flour, oil and other food - in the two bedrooms at the back.

She just wants to find a safe place to stay during the repair period. She will definitely have to come back during the day to find someone to repair the wall and supervise the work. If the living conditions are similar, a fifteen-minute drive or an hour and a half drive will definitely be more convenient!

But looking at You Hai's attitude now, is she planning to leave without ever returning?
