It was three days after the end came that the good show officially began.
Zhang Yi knew what would happen on this day, so he stayed up all night waiting to see the good show.
What happened was actually very simple.
That is, the electricity of the entire Yuelu neighbourhood was suddenly cut off!
And soon after, due to the chain reaction of the power cut, the water company was unable to supply water properly.
The water supply system also had problems, and the water was cut off in every household.
All of this was expected by Zhang Yi.
After all, at the beginning of the apocalypse, no one could have predicted how long this disaster of extremely low temperatures would last.
Officials were still trying their best to hold on, trying to solve this snowstorm.
But it wasn't until time passed day by day, on only the third day, that they realised that it wasn't a problem that could be solved by human power at all.
It was freezing cold, the major hydroelectric plants were shutting down one after another, and the thermal power plants could not continue to generate electricity because the personnel were unable to work.
By the time cities across the country have exhausted their stored power, blackouts are inevitable.
At this point, I'm afraid that only a small number of nuclear power plants are still maintaining operations.
But naturally, all the electricity generated was supplied to the official sector for use.
The water and power cuts had plunged the lives of ordinary people into darkness!
Zhang Yi opened his mobile phone and already saw that the messages from several chat groups were 99+.
"Do you have electricity at home?"
"There's no electricity in our house! And the tap water has stopped, what's going on here?"
"There's no water or electricity in our house too! It's so cold that the air conditioner doesn't work at all, and there's no way to use the heater. How can we live in this day!"
"Why don't the officials come out and take care of it at this time! If this continues, I'm afraid it's going to freeze to death."
Zhang Yi silently shook his head.
At this time, the officials had no time to care about everyone.
If they wanted to live, they could only rely on themselves.
He also knew that the doomsday, from today onwards, would be considered to have descended in the true sense of the word.
And after losing the electricity and food of the modern society, the human race would also fall into mass death.
As Zhang Yi thought of all this, he glanced at his home with a palpitating heart.
When he saw his house that was as warm as spring and as safe as a copper hoop and iron barrel, and the supplies in the alien space that could not be seen at a glance, a solid warmth surged in his heart again.
The group of owners in the neighbourhood was also filled with nervous tirades at this time.
"How long is this snow going to last, the air conditioner can't be used either, the house is more than thirty degrees below zero."
"If it continues like this, it's really going to freeze to death!"
"The water has also stopped, is it hard to make us drink snow water?"
"We don't have much to eat at home, and we can't go to the supermarket because of the snow. What can we do!"
Some people started to Ait Lin Auntie.
"Auntie Lin, didn't you say it was fine before?"
"That's right, I just listened to you and didn't go out to buy supplies. How can we fix it now?"
"When exactly will the top come over to save us, say something!"
Big Aunt Lin's heart was in a state of anxiety and panic as she faced the questioning of her neighbours.
At this time, she was even more scared inside than her neighbours.
The homeowners were not yet sure how the top was going to save them.
But Auntie Lin, through the neighbourhood committee, had already received some information in advance.
"There's a blizzard going on all over the world right now, and it's said to be a snowstorm that comes once in hundreds of thousands of years. Possibly, we're ushering in another biological extinction, aka the end times!"
"Although the officials are trying their best to support it, it's impossible to take care of our country's population of over a billion people."
"Several key cities in the country have already fallen!"
"If we want to stay alive next, we can only rely on ourselves. Be sure to stock up on supplies, especially food and heating energy."
"I've already started going door to door asking for supplies, just in the name of the neighbourhood committee."
"Isn't this ... harming people by doing this?"
"Harming people? If I don't do that, our family will freeze and starve to death in three days at most! I can't care about that much anymore!"
"I don't know how many people are going to die in this snowstorm, I can only take care of myself and my own family first."
"Right, while we still have some influence, hurry up and get more supplies. At times like this, staying alive is the most crucial!"
Big Aunt Lin stared dead on at the message in the neighbourhood committee's group, her body trembling violently.
Although the indoor temperature had already come to more than thirty degrees below zero, her forehead was still dripping with cold sweat.
She was lying on the bed, the quilt covered with three thick layers, pressing her to the point where she was about to lose her breath, but she didn't dare to lift it either.
Because the room was like an ice cellar at this time.
At this time, her grandson Xiaohu under the quilt asked, "Grandma, why is it so cold outside! When will dad and mum come back?"
Big Mother Lin looked at her little grandson and her heart sank.
She had just talked to her son and daughter-in-law today.
They were both working out of town and were now stuck inside a rented room in a situation not much better than theirs.
"I have to protect both of us mother and son, we must survive!"
Big Mother Lin bit her own lip as a fierce look flashed across her eyes.
"Little Tiger, it's alright, in a while dad and mum will be back."
After Big Aunt Lin comforted Little Tiger, she picked up her mobile phone and began to speak inside the owners' group.
"Everyone, the disaster is only temporary. The weather outside is so cold that it's not surprising that the water and electricity are cut off."
"Don't worry, there are already crews making repairs."
"Officials have already issued a notice that at such an extraordinary time, our neighbourhood committee will be the one to manage the owners of the district."
"I hope everyone will cooperate with us. If anyone fails to co-operate and causes serious consequences, we will ask the police to arrest and interrogate them afterwards!"
Big Aunt Lin's words were extremely heavy.
These words caused strong dissatisfaction in the hearts of the owners.
They also hadn't expected that at a time like this, the neighbourhood committee had not only failed to explain about their ineffective work.
Instead, it was intimidating the owners.
However, there was some fear in everyone's hearts, and no one dared to speak out against it.
Zhang Yi held his mobile phone and looked at Auntie Lin's message in his phone in a good manner.
He raised his eyebrows and let out a snort.
Of course, he knew that Big Aunt Lin was lying, and in his last life, she had used this despicable method to cheat away a lot of supplies from others.
However, he had no intention of revealing Aunt Lin's trick.
What did it matter to him whether the other neighbours were dead or alive anyway?
Zhang Yi turned on the TV and continued to play his game.
Water outage, power outage?
No matter, he had a huge amount of spare batteries stored in his warehouse, as well as engines with fuel and solid alcohol.
As for water, he had hoarded 500 tonnes of tap water alone, not to mention the tens of thousands of tonnes of mineral water and drinks in the warehouse.
And if necessary, he could also get water by melting snow.
In short, whether it was fresh water or energy, he wasn't lacking at all.
