Chapter 160 Grandpa Shen's Family Passed Away
Chapter 160 Grandpa Shen's Family Passed Away
I decided to hold a meeting with the remaining owners!
Lin Lin suddenly told me mysteriously that he had had this feeling since yesterday.
"What?" I was curious
"That's the feeling the crystal gave me. It should be nearby!" Lin Lin was still mumbling.
Actually, I also had a strange feeling when I came back. What was going on? I was a little confused. Was it because snow was falling from the sky around us?
Lin Lin shook her head and replied, "No one else changed yesterday, except for Duan Cheng who came back with his parents!"
"Do you think his parents brought the crystal?"
If there really is a crystal, and if it can be used to upgrade Bian Hui, then perhaps the lives of everyone in the building can be saved. Otherwise, everyone will die due to lack of warmth due to the cold weather.
The power from the battery pack is not enough. This building has central air conditioning installed in every house, which consumes a lot of electricity. The power supply is not enough. There is no sun outside now. Even during the day, it is cloudy. It is only five o'clock in the afternoon and it will be dark. How about we ask Song Jue to cast some metal braziers? Didn't Xiaobai buy some charcoal before? I also collected enough firewood from the hotel.
Xiaobai shook his head after hearing this. He had stockpiled one ton of food himself. How many days would it take for so many stores in the building to burn the fire?
I said let it burn for as many days as it can.
Looking out the window at the city that seems to be frozen in ice and snow, I don’t know how long this disaster will last. It would be great if my space supermarket could produce carbon. I glanced at my weight, which is 192.11. I have lost a few pounds after running around in the past few days. I just took a shower and found that I look much younger. It turns out that losing weight is the best medical beauty for men.
"Try your best to get that crystal stone so that Bian Hui can level up!" I was saying
Suddenly, Lin Lin interrupted me and said that the gang was coming again.
Sure enough, I heard the sound of knocking on the door on the 16th floor again.
I stood up and went downstairs to see what was going on!
As soon as I opened the door, Zhang Yang, the elder brother from the 15th floor, said to me, "Xiao Huo, it's bad, Old Shen is going to die!"
Was that Grandpa Shen who had moved to the 14th floor? I was shocked and quickly followed him downstairs. When I entered Grandpa Shen’s house, I saw Grandpa Shen lying on the bed, dying, and Grandma Liu beside him, tearful and numb from the cold.
I feel that his house is so cold, this damn weather! The old man must be frozen.
When I got closer, I saw that Grandpa Shen was only exhaling but not inhaling and felt like he was about to die. I asked Grandma Liu what was wrong.
Grandma just cried and said, "I am old and I can't survive this disaster."
I quickly comforted Grandma Liu and told her that my grandfather was a Chinese medicine doctor and asked him to take a look. Then I hurried upstairs and asked my grandfather to come down to see if he could cure Grandpa Shen.
After going downstairs to diagnose and treat the patient, grandpa shook his head and sighed: "This extremely cold weather is extremely unfriendly to the elderly. It is easy to cause various old age diseases in such a cold temperature. I can only treat diseases but cannot prolong the life of others..."
We watched as Grandpa Shen took his last breath and he passed away.
At this time, Grandma Liu broke free from her previous sadness, thanked us, and sighed: "We are also at the age where we should die. I know that today is the day when the old man will die. I know it."
Watching Grandma Liu's lips moving and her dull eyes as she repeated these words over and over again, I really felt a sense of helplessness and sadness. Even if we have these extraordinary abilities, can we still not save lives?
Grandpa also comforted Grandma Liu with emotion and told her to be more open-minded, because when people get old, they will have such a day...
After persuading Grandma Liu, Grandpa hurried back to look after Mu En. Someone had to take care of the baby at all times.
Grandpa Shen on this floor passed away, and people from other floors also sent representatives to mourn Grandpa Shen. Everyone was dressed in different ways, and eldest brother Wang Huichun even wrapped himself in a quilt. I saw that everyone was there, so I decided to hold a meeting here.
Apparently, I have become the backbone of the entire building's residents. I don't know why everyone wants to hear what arrangements I make.
I said to everyone with a serious face
"The weather is abnormal now. The temperature outside is more than 50 degrees below zero, and the temperature inside is more than 40 degrees below zero. It's so cold and snowy that it's easy for people to freeze to death. Moreover, most of us are elderly, and each of our households is very large. Not only is it not heat-insulated, it will also consume a lot of energy to heat up. So I mean, can we continue to move up the floors? Even merging two houses will be warmer as there are more people."
Duan Cheng asked what to do? His family sent him to attend the meeting as a representative.
Zhang Yang, the eldest brother on the 15th floor, interrupted again: "Xiao Huo, can I buy some fuel from you?"
Zhang Hua also came over to interrupt: "My baby is almost freezing to death! You should think of a solution quickly."
As everyone was chattering about their own difficulties, someone suddenly shouted, "Oh no! Grandma Liu jumped off the building!"
Because we were all sitting on the sofa in Grandma Liu's living room for the meeting, Grandma Liu's actions were seen by Wang Huichun's daughter-in-law Huang Ya, and she was the first to scream.
We were all stunned, and a group of people rushed to the balcony of Grandma Liu's house. Her family moved to the 14th floor later, and it was not on the lowest floor so her balcony was not sealed. Looking down from the balcony, we could see the outline of Grandma Liu's body on the snow downstairs. She jumped onto the thick snow and did not die for the time being. She was still struggling in pain.
I don't know what suddenly came over me, but I suddenly felt a surge of courage and jumped down from the building as well!
Jumping from the 14th floor to the snow-covered th floor, there are seven floors in between, a full meters! But the snow below was thick enough to effectively act as a buffer.
With a loud bang, I fell beside Grandma Liu and sank into a snowdrift. Although I had an evolved third-stage physique, I was still dizzy. Without hesitation, I stood up and stuck my head out of the snowdrift. There was a thick layer of ice under my feet, and the snow layer was only about one meter deep. I couldn't help but sigh, I'm pretty damn strong.
Regardless of whether he was injured or not, he picked up the struggling grandmother next to him and shouted, "Grandma, what are you doing?"
There was blood flowing from Grandma Liu's mouth and she looked at me with cloudy eyes. She opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end she only uttered the vague word "thank you". Her body tilted and she died in an instant.
Three elderly people died one after another in just two days, which made me feel heartbroken. I had this feeling of being powerless to change the situation. Human power is limited and we cannot fight against the cruelty of nature. The fragility and impermanence of life made me feel helpless and sad.
It took a lot of effort to reach the stairs. Lin Lin and Xiao Bai came to help me up. Their children are abroad and will definitely not come back in this lifetime. I thought about asking everyone to burn the bodies of these two elderly people, and then dust to dust...
The bodies of the old couple were cremated together on the balcony on the seventh floor, and we prayed for them.
So far, there are no more residents on the 14th floor.
