Chapter 7 - power failure

At night, before everyone went to bed, the voltage was unstable, flickering on and off. After flickering for about ten minutes, the power was directly cut off.

The dormitory building suddenly became noisy. Everyone turned on their mobile phones to refresh and wait for the official notice. Soon, there was an official announcement that due to the continuous heavy rain, the wires were soaked in water and directly damaged, resulting in a power outage in the whole city. The maintenance personnel were also helpless. The water was too deep and the rain was too heavy, so there was no way to repair it. They could only wait for the rain to become smaller.

Su Yu knew that even if it was repaired, it would not return to the past, because on the first day after the heavy rain, the extreme cold would come, and some wires would be frozen under the water.

She put away her mobile phone and thought of the books in the school library.

The building where the school library is located is relatively high, and the library is on the fifth floor. After her observation, only a little water has entered at present, but soon the water will flood the books under the shelves. Instead of letting all the books be flooded and wasted, it is better for her to take the opportunity to collect them during the power outage.

It's the spark of human civilization.

At one o'clock in the morning, Su Yu got up from the bed, went to the window of the dormitory and waited for a while. It was extremely quiet around the dormitory, so she quietly placed a kayak from the window on the fifth floor, stepped into it.

The rain was heavy, Su Yu wore a raincoat, and rowed the kayak to the building of the library not far away. The first to fourth floors were all flooded. She took out the broken window tool she bought online, cut open a glass window, and got in.

As soon as she entered, there was standing water under her feet. Su Yu shone a flashlight and saw that the water was very muddy, and many of the books on the bottom two floors were already soaking in the water.

Su Yu didn't want to pick and choose, so she directly reached out and took away these books along with the bookshelves. By the way, she went to the front desk of the library and collected the front desk table and computer.

 

All of a sudden, the library was empty, with only some standing water and soaked books.

Su Yu finished and climbed out of the window. Seeing that it was still early, she rowed the kayak to the teaching building. The teaching building was already half-flooded, and the remaining half. Su Yu went to search every classroom and teacher's office, and directly used a universal key to open the locked ones.

She didn't take everything, only collected a lot of books, data, unfinished snacks, useful tools like tables and chairs, and also collected several printers and computers.

When she came out, it was almost three o'clock. Su Yu went to the nearby infirmary to try her luck and collected some medical equipment that the teachers didn't take away.

Finally, Su Yu quietly rowed back, put away the kayak and went to sleep in the dormitory.

I had a dreamless night.

When she woke up, everything was as usual, and no one went to the front classroom to find that something was missing. Su Yu felt relieved and prepared to go to work hard at night. If she didn't go, everything would be soaked.

That night, Su Yu braved the rain and rowed the kayak out of the school. She saw that almost all the nearby shops were flooded, and only a few stores had not been flooded.

Su Yu also used the window breaker to drill in and collected a lot of rice, flour, and oil. Several supermarkets were almost empty, probably because the government had appropriated the supplies.

Su Yu didn't pick and chose, and directly collected everything left inside, which were all daily necessities.

After coming out, she changed to a speedboat and went directly to the city. On the way, the rain was heavy and the current was turbulent. There were even vortices in some places. Su Yu avoided them clumsily all the way, and finally arrived at the city center.

 

B City has a low terrain, and the city center was the earliest to be flooded. The people who were rescued were all arranged in the suburbs with a higher terrain or in a slightly remote hotel, so there were hardly any people in the city center. The personnel of the government's rescue supplies also only dared to come out during the day to salvage supplies, but Su Yu didn't worry much.

All kinds of grain and vegetable markets must have been controlled by the government, and supermarkets are probably the same. There is no need to think about residential buildings in the community. The supplies in the lower floors have been taken away by the owners, and it is estimated that people still live in the higher floors.

Her goal is some office buildings. Although there is not much food in the office building, most of the company's personnel are trapped at home or rescued, and hardly anyone will live there, so her risk is very small. Moreover, there are also some companies that sell goods live in the office building, and there may be gains.

Su Yu looked for a while and came to an office building, which was also flooded more than half. She climbed in through the window with a flashlight and started shopping for free.

Su Yu came to the sixth floor, which had not been flooded yet. There were many company doors and windows locked, but it was not difficult for her who had a universal key.

Inside, she looted a lot of tables and chairs, drinking equipment, sofas, etc., and even took away the boss's leather chair. Going upstairs, she also found a pharmaceutical company, and collected all the finished medicines, other medicinal materials, and vaccines. These things are worth thousands of gold in the post-apocalyptic world.

Su Yu also found a company that sells snacks live, and she happily collected all the snacks in the office, found the warehouse, and collected all the inventory. Of course, the storage racks in the warehouse were all collected, so the supplies in the space could be neatly arranged.

Finally, she found a seed company, which had various rice seeds, wheat seeds, fruit seeds, and dozens of vegetable varieties were all collected.

 

Su Yu collected along the way, and after collecting the remaining five floors, she was sweating all over. She simply sat down and took out the cooked meals to eat and replenish her energy.

These days, she has been staying in the dormitory, with many people and many eyes. Except for the canteen big pot meal, she ate instant foods like instant noodles, which made her sick.

After Su Yu finished eating, she took out a cup of milk tea and drank it with relish.

After eating and drinking enough, she left the building and went to another building to look for supplies.

There, she almost ran into several people who also came to look for supplies, and hurriedly hid in the corner of the bathroom.

There were four people coming, three men and one woman. The few people were guilty and looked around. Seeing no one, they quickly took out bags to pack all kinds of food.

"Quick, quick! See more food and pack more!"

"Keep your voice down..."

"Wang Le, why are you taking these cosmetics and clothes?"

A coquettish female voice sounded, which made her goosebumps, "Zheng Ge, I need it, these things are very expensive, and I will look better when I use them~"

The Zheng Ge should be the leader. He was not in the mood by her coquetry and compromised, "Pack less."

After more than ten minutes, several people went upstairs, and the sound gradually disappeared. Su Yu came out of the bathroom and left directly to avoid friction.

 

Before four o'clock, she returned to the school without anyone noticing anything unusual. In the next few days, she would go to look for supplies at night, and found quite a lot of them零散ly. Even in the office of a domineering president, she found a safe, pried it open, and got a lot of gold bars, as well as two revolver pistols and three hundred bullets.

What a great harvest!
