Chapter 486 Water Restriction and Quantity Limitation
Chapter 486 Water Restriction and Quantity Limitation
“Speaking of water, you may not know that water prices have skyrocketed and there is a limit on the amount per person per day.”
"Well... this is indeed understandable. If everyone goes together to buy water, it will cause a lot of pressure on the water sales point. We recommend that everyone go to the supermarket to buy water."
"supermarket……"
Anjiu heard this intermittently, and the elevator arrived at the first floor.
She walked out and found that this place was different from before.
——The exit was blocked by piled-up large stone piers.
She tried to push, but it wouldn't budge at all.
Pu Huai: "I'll go over and take a look. You wait here for me to come back."
"it is good."
But only a few dozen seconds later, Pu Huai came back.
"All the shops outside were closed. There were only a few lights on in the supermarket, but no one was inside and the doors were locked."
It's abnormal. It's too abnormal.
Which supermarket would close down when everyone needs to consume?
Don’t you want to earn contribution points?
But if the resources in it have already been reserved, such behavior is understandable.
Anyone who can reserve so many supplies must be a person with great power.
Pu Huai and An Jiu exchanged glances and realized that the situation might be more serious than they had imagined.
She took the elevator back along the same route and heard the voices of the two hosts again.
"Everyone should know the skill of disaster prevention and risk avoidance, but we rarely encounter danger on weekdays. When faced with sudden problems like the insect plague a few days ago, everyone is caught off guard."
"Here we recommend a few books that are very suitable for you to read now - "Disaster Self-rescue Guide", which records all kinds of severe weather and self-rescue knowledge under survival conditions..."
Anjiu did not go back to the 48th floor directly, but went to the water sales counter to take a look first.
Before she could get close, the staff inside waved their hands frantically, "Don't come, there's no water, today's water has been sold out!"
He was packing his things and looked like he was about to get off work.
But it's far from time for him to get off work.
"What time will you start selling water tomorrow?" An Jiu asked.
The staff member tapped the small sign outside with his finger impatiently.
Anjiu: "But isn't it still the usual business hours written here?"
"What else?" The staff member showed a hint of sarcasm, "If you don't come early, are you sure you can get a seat? Do you think you can buy water?"
"…You mean this isn't your working time, it's our queue time?"
"You can understand it that way." The staff member came out with his personal belongings, locked the door of the water sales counter, and left leisurely.
Pu Huai looked at her, "Is there no water at home? Otherwise, I will find a way."
"No," Anjiu shook his head, "There's enough water for now, let's go home."
As soon as I opened the door, I saw a group of acquaintances making an appointment with my grandmother to buy water tomorrow.
"What time is it?"
"You have to go earlier. I went too late today and didn't get any."
"What time is that?"
"Why don't we go at 5 a.m.? The doors open at 8 a.m. Let's go early and try to get a good seat."
"Okay, that's settled then. See you at the intersection tomorrow."
Grandma sent them out the door and turned to Anjiu and said, "How's it going downstairs?"
"Not good," Anjiu shook his head. "There was no one on every platform I passed by, and the elevator shaft exit to the first floor was blocked. Even the supermarket and shops were closed."
"Hiss—what on earth is going on?!" Grandma gasped and shook her head in disbelief.
Since when did the building start to look like it was about to face a disaster?
"Before I came back, I went to the water store and they said that the water supply was limited. Grandma, have you mentioned this to them? I told you to stock up more water."
"I told you, they filled all the bottles and cans in the house with water. I guess they've all been used up during this period."
An Jiu nodded and asked, "Grandma, do you have any remaining contribution points?"
"Oh," grandma smiled and waved her hand, "it was an old customer. He didn't pay his contribution value after his meal, and I got busy and forgot about it.
"Look, he just sent it to me. It's not much, just 5 contribution points. It's just right for me to go buy some water with your aunts."
Anjiu rarely went to the small restaurant and never worried about what happened there. Apart from providing the ingredients, she left everything else to her grandmother. She knew even less about such things.
But given my grandmother's kind personality, this is indeed something she would do.
"But I think you might have to go earlier, right?" An Jiu said, "From what the staff said, there's only so much water, and it'll be gone once it's sold out."
Since it is limited, it proves that the tonnage of water will not be particularly large.
Only if you go early can you buy water.
Grandma: "Then let's go an hour earlier. It will be dark then, so it should be about time. I'll go tell them."
In order to buy water, it doesn't matter if you go earlier.
Better than being thirsty.
After grandma came back after notifying everyone, she locked the door.
After nightfall, almost every household stays indoors and no one comes home.
The two returned to the space, and grandma washed her hands and prepared to cook dinner.
Anjiu and Pu Huai were also not idle, one helped to wash the vegetables and the other helped to light the fire.
"Next time I go to another world, it would be great if I could find a gas tank. Cooking would be much easier."
Although firewood-cooked meals are delicious, they are too slow to cook, produce a strong smell of smoke, and are difficult to clean up.
"Speaking of the other world," Grandma said as she rolled noodles, "the month is almost over and we haven't taken the trip to the other world yet. It looks like it's been canceled."
Anjiu: "What a pity."
Pu Huai: “I agree.”
Grandma looked at the two of them and was about to frown when she suddenly remembered that Anjiu had mentioned that he needed her help in collecting supplies.
Take another look at the very empty space in front of you.
She: “It’s a pity indeed.”
The three of them finished dinner with melancholy faces. Pu Huai washed the dishes, put the wine in, cleaned the stove, and then took grandma for a half-hour walk.
"Grandma," Pu Huai turned around, "I think you should exercise more."
Grandma's physical condition is gradually returning to normal. She will then follow us to collect supplies in the other world. If he and Anjiu fail to observe carefully and grandma encounters danger, she must be able to return to the space in time.
In order to avoid unbearable consequences in the future, we must strengthen our exercise from now on.
Anjiu strongly supports Pu Huai's idea.
It is better to rely on yourself than on others, especially when it comes to the right to life, which must never be placed in the hands of others, not even her.
Grandma gritted her teeth and stamped her feet, "Okay, I'll practice with you!"
Once serious matters were involved, Pu Huai became ruthless and cold-blooded.
He first asked his grandmother to do a series of movements to give her a general understanding of the core strength of her upper and lower limbs.
Based on grandma's current situation, develop an exercise plan that suits her.
Afterwards, he beckoned over Anjiu and formulated a new set of advanced exercises for her with a more rigorous attitude.
He said: "You are our core, you have to work harder and make more efforts!"
An Jiu said heroically: "Got it!"
