Natural Disaster Apocalypse

In fact, when the temperature started to rise, many people have been doing crazy hoarding. It's October, and the temperature is still high, and it hasn't even rained in many areas for several months. This makes people who have just come out of the epidemic alert again.

Their country is fine. The government is trying to divert most people's attention to the resumption of work, and even launched a lot of convenience measures for the resumption of work in various regions. The fiery wave of resumption of work has dispelled some people's concerns about high temperatures. At that time, other countries were in turmoil again, and their side was relatively peaceful.

Until the excessively high temperature caused too many people to die of heatstroke, in the age of self-media so developed, even if the Internet has been cleared very quickly, it cannot hide all the news strictly, people like this It was only when I realized that this might be another life-threatening crisis, so I didn’t need anyone to remind me. I bought as much basic rice, flour, grain, and oil as I could. Before the epidemic was closed too suddenly, I didn’t have much experience. Now there are With the experience of not being able to go out, many foods that are durable to storage, such as some quick-frozen products, fast food products, and canned instant noodles, are almost out of stock as soon as they are put on the shelves.

Older people are rushing to buy in supermarkets, and young people are placing orders online. Even if the prices of many things have increased a lot, they are sold to the extent that purchases are restricted.

At this time, there are still people who think soberly that no matter how high the temperature can be, all kinds of crisis and doomsday information on the Internet are just alarmist, and they even suspect that this is the government's means to promote consumption. In just a few short days, it can be seen that the consumption data of each province and city has skyrocketed, so I refused to accept the stupid hoarding behavior with the attitude that everyone is drunk and I am alone.

Ever since they had to queue up even to enter the gate of the supermarket, Qin Huai and Mu Nan didn't go shopping very much. They continued to buy what they could buy online, and forgot what they couldn't. After dinner every night, the two The two of them took a walk around the community together, adapting to the outside temperature while digesting food, but they also paid great attention when they went out. They basically carried a small fan and cooling spray with them. That's not worth it.

But I don't know if it's because of running and exercising every day, and learning Sanda from Qin Huai. He feels that his health is much better in this life. At least he can walk outside with Qin Huai for a few hours now, and at most he will be sweating. Under the rain, it was about this time in the last life, he would go out to buy things, but at that time he was almost dizzy from the heat when he went out, and it took a long time to get used to it.

Just as they were walking around the river, a group of people gathered across the road, and the surrounding merchants were carrying a basin of water to sprinkle the face of the person lying on the ground. The ambulance had just arrived at this time, and Mu Nan and Qin Huai I stopped and looked around for a while, until the ambulance pushed the person who fell on the ground into the car.

"It looks like a white-collar worker who just got off work. How many degrees is it broadcasting today?"

Qin Huai took out his mobile phone and looked at it: "Forty-four degrees."

Mu Nan curled her lips in disgust: "I think it's at least 50 degrees. Look at the air, there are waves of heat waves. It's still late at night. In the past, when the summer was the hottest, this kind of heat wave could only be seen under the sun. , the surface temperature was not low at that time.”

Qin Huai smiled: "It's really that high, I'm afraid the higher-ups won't dare to report it, they have to suppress it a little bit, otherwise there will be more people crazy about buying things now, and they will panic even more."

Mu Nan opened the pouch hanging on his waist, took out the cooling spray in it, sprayed it on Qin Huai, and asked him to fan himself with a small electric fan: "Cool down, let's go, let's go home, it's so hot Few stores are open."

On the way back, Mu Nan saw the message sent by the doctor Xu who added before, and said to Qin Huai: "Brother, that doctor Xu asked us if we need to buy sunshade cloth, saying that he has a dog parent who is doing this. Yes, it’s said that it’s thickened to protect against heat and heat, and it’s also added some special chemical coating to block ultraviolet rays. It’s a little expensive, more than two hundred yuan per meter, if you want, you can buy it with him.”

Now this kind of heat insulation material is also in short supply. The sun outside is too fierce. Ordinary curtains can no longer block the sun's rays and high temperature. Even the anti-light curtains, at the hottest time at noon, the air conditioner is turned on at home. It can also be clearly felt that the temperature is difficult to drop, so many people have already bought thick fabrics that can block light, trying to cover their homes tightly during the day, otherwise the air conditioner will become a decoration, and the air conditioner can still heat up. sweating.

Qin Huai took Mu Nan's mobile phone and looked at the pattern sent by Dr. Xu. The membrane cloth looked very thick, unlike the thin sunshade cloth that was only light-proof. It’s not easy: “Go back to him and say yes, we’ll buy some too. Now that many people have bound the outside of the windows with sunshades, we can also start installing them.”

Mu Nan sent back a message to Dr. Xu, and soon Dr. Xu opened a group and brought Yu Zibai in. It turned out that Dr. Xu also asked Yu Zibai, and it happened that they lived close to each other. convenient.

From the very beginning, Yu Zibai planned to buy this kind of sunshade cloth to be placed outside. Jian Chu felt that there was no need to buy it, because the price of these fabrics was very high at that time, and those that could block the temperature were sold at thousands of yuan per meter. It's a big deal to buy more fabrics with stronger sunshade and seal the windows. But that kind of thin cloth is just a cloth that can only block light, and it can't block the high temperature at all. The house they rent is an old air conditioner. Because the temperature is too high, the horsepower of the air conditioner is not enough, and it can't be moved at all. In such a hot day, there is no air conditioner. It's really deadly.

So some time ago, Jianchu paid for a new air conditioner and a large cabinet, and planned to put it in the living room, and then moved the bed into the living room, so they couldn't live in the room, and the two of them could sleep together in the living room. After all, the room is directly next to the window. Although the space is small, the heat insulation is poor, and there is a balcony in the living room, which is a little far away from the direct sunlight outside. The balcony door is closed and covered with a layer of light, and the heat insulation effect is better than that of the room. much better. But no matter how much cloth is pasted on the window of the living room, it can't stop the heat from the sun every day. Just when Dr. Xu asked them, Yu Zibai decided to buy it. And if they live in the living room, they only need to block a window on the balcony, and leave the room alone for the time being, so it doesn't take much meters or money.

Dr. Xu's work is very fast, probably due to the fact that he was exposed to the sun at home, even if he was not at home at work during the day, the residual temperature from the sun during the day was almost hotter than a sauna room, so once it was confirmed that both of them wanted it, I contacted the dog's parents.

Qinhuai and the others asked for a bit too much, so they bought 30 meters directly. After all, there was another house with chickens and vegetables on the other side, which also needed to be covered. Yu Zibai and the others only planned to cover a balcony door, so they didn't want much. Only bought five meters. Dr. Xu wanted to cover up all the windows in the house as much as possible, and he bought a lot of them. He bought 20 meters, so the two shared the transportation fee and didn't let Yu Zibai out. It would be too disadvantageous to share the freight, and Qin Huai and Dr. Xu are not people who like to take advantage of others.

Yu Zibo was embarrassed by their politeness, seeing that they were really persistent, so he simply helped out. After all, these fabrics also needed someone to help carry them up the stairs. Even if there was an elevator, it was still a bit laborious in such hot weather. When I carried the film cloth all the way into the elevator, several people were asking where I bought it. Now this thing is sold out, and even if I have money, I can’t find a place to buy it.

Dr. Xu had been prepared for a long time, and sent the business card of the pet parent's store to the person who inquired. As for the price of selling it to others, it was out of his control.

After finally carrying all these cloths upstairs, several people were exhausted. Mu Nan waited early at the elevator entrance, and when he saw them, he sprayed them with cooling spray, fearing that they would be overheated.

Dr. Xu looked at him with a smile: "This is good, it is very useful for emergency cooling."

Mu Nan said with some regret: "I didn't buy enough when I bought it at the beginning. When I want to buy it again, they have already sold out." This is naturally impossible. After experiencing the high temperature, he buys the most cooling things. Every day One bottle is enough for him to consume for several years, but the words still have to be said.

Doctor Xu said: "I didn't think of this thing before. I'll ask my classmates to see if they have a channel to get some. If so, I'll tell you that we can buy them together if necessary."

Mu Nan naturally agreed, since Qin Huai still has money in hand, it would be a waste if he didn't spend it.

Yu Zibai first helped the two of them move the fabrics in. Qin Huai’s family is convenient, they just need to move it inside the anti-theft door, and Dr. Xu’s family has to drag it into the house. Finally, he said: “You need help during installation. Say, anyway, I'm free at home anytime."

Qin Huai smiled and said: "Okay, I will call you if I need help when the time comes, I have worked hard today."

Yu Zibai's house is easy to solve. The balcony of their house is not closed. You just need to stand on the balcony, nail the film cloth to the wall of the balcony door, and cover the balcony door. Qin Huai's house is all closed, so if you want to install these things outside the windows, you need to invite workers to come and install them on the outer wall upstairs of their house.

Qin Huai had greeted the two upstairs families early on, and they were quite easy to talk to. Qin Huai also said that after finishing their house and the remaining fabrics, he would give the two houses upstairs an equal score. Just rush to buy more, and there will definitely be leftovers. Now this kind of sunshade is too difficult to buy, just to make it easier for others to get some sunshade cloth, even if they can only cover one window, then they are still making money, so naturally they are very willing.

Qin Huai's action was very fast, and two workers were invited to install it the next day. Because it was installed directly from the upstairs, it only needed to nail a few nails on the outer wall to hang the membrane cloth firmly. They don't need to enter the house, which saves a lot of trouble. After spending most of the night, he finally covered the outer windows on both sides, and there were four or five meters of cloth left. He stayed upstairs and let the two families share it equally.

Finally, after struggling to block the outside window, Mu Nan lay comfortably on the bed and watched their masterpiece. Their house is actually alright, they have already installed heat insulation film before, and installed a layer of heat insulation curtains inside the windows, and when Mu Nan changed the windows before, he specially replaced the thick ones with great sunshade Curtains, these three layers of barriers can block at least half of the outside temperature. Now that a thick layer of membrane cloth has been added, even if the air conditioner is not turned on, the inside of the house can be at least ten degrees lower than the outside under such shading conditions.

And the air conditioner he bought at a high price before also showed superior performance at this time. As long as there is enough power, the air conditioner has enough horsepower, but they still set the temperature at 245 degrees, although 189 The low temperature of 100 degrees will make people feel refreshed in this hot weather, but if the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor is too large, it is not good for people.

Even if the temperature inside the house is not set too low, there is still a big gap with the outside, so Qin Huai and Mu Nan will stand at the door and open the door every day before going in and out, so that the body can have a process of adaptation.

The air conditioner in the Qinhuai house was replaced a few years ago, and it’s been a few years since now, but it’s not a problem to use it. Because it’s growing vegetables and raising chickens, it’s always turned on at the lowest temperature. I don’t know if the temperature of the few chickens is still a little too high, they are a little sleepy, and they are not very active in eating food. But then the membrane cloth was covered outside, and soon he regained his energy. But last time Qin Huai said that only one rooster needs to be kept, so they discussed when to kill another rooster.

Originally thinking of killing it in these two days, it was temporarily interrupted by an accident.

With the continuous high temperature, there is no need for the government to advocate. Many people have begun to change their work and rest to adapt to the current environment. Many shopping malls have also changed their business hours. They are closed during the day and open at night. Most people have gradually adapted to the rhythm of nocturnal activities by turning day and night upside down.

When Qin Huai and Mu Nan took a walk at night, they saw more and more shops open, and there were many street stalls. Even an old beef brisket shop that had never been opened after the epidemic also opened its doors at this time. That restaurant can be regarded as where Qin Huai and Mu Nan grew up eating, but Qin Huai never ate there after he went abroad, but Mu Nan, occasionally, when he didn't want to order takeaway, he would come down to buy a beef brisket stew.

Seeing the store opened now, Mu Nan took Qin Huai to eat together: "Take a look, is it still the original taste?"

Qin Huai took a bite and felt it carefully: "It seems a little different."

Mu Nan smiled and said: "You have a really good tongue, the owner of this shop has actually changed, and now the former owner's son is making it, but the stew and chili are prepared by the former owner himself, so although the taste is a little different It’s the same, but it’s not too different, I thought before, if I can ask the boss to buy some of their chili oil, I like to eat their chili.”

Qin Huai said: "Then wait and ask if they sell it."

Mu Nan shook his head: "I asked, and said that if I like it, I can take a bowl away. After all, I am also a regular customer, but I can't sell it. I am very firm. I don't care about the amount of money, so I just let it go."

Mu Nan took a sip of the soup as he spoke, then picked up another piece of beef brisket and put it in his mouth, but after biting for a while, he frowned slightly: "Is this beef a bit weird? Is it a bit sour?"

Qin Huai took a sip from his own bowl and felt that there was no sour taste, then tasted the chopsticks from Mu Nan's bowl, and it was okay, no strange taste: "Otherwise forget it, don't eat it, it's so hot now, some The food is indeed a bit perishable."

Mu Nan thought about it, and thought it better to be more careful: "Forget it, let's go home and eat pork rib powder. It's the one at the entrance of the alley. Remember, we used to eat it when we were young."

Qin Huai naturally remembered it, but thought that the store didn't seem to be open now, so he looked at Mu Nan and said, "You bought it in advance?"

Mu Nan nodded a little proudly: "That's right, I'm afraid that if you come back in the future, that store will no longer be there, and you don't have anything to eat, so you bought a lot in advance."

That pork rib powder is Qin Huai's favorite food. In the past, high school had to study by himself at night, so he would go to buy that pork rib powder for Qin Huai and send it to Qin Huai's school after school. Probably because Qin Huai liked to eat it, he followed suit. Like to eat, after many times in the last life, Mu Nan couldn't help but think, how wonderful it would be if he could go back to the time when he and Qin Huai ate pork rib powder. Of course he can't go back, but he can buy what Qin Huai likes and save up in advance.

After leaving the store, Mu Nan took Qin Huai around for a while and walked home, intending to wholesale some water. There is a place downstairs that specializes in wholesale mineral water beverages. At this time, there are many people who buy water in boxes. It's not abnormal for them to buy a little more. Anyway, they stock up, and they just accumulate a little bit at home.

But Mu Nan walked halfway, and suddenly covered his stomach and said to Qin Huai: "Brother, my stomach feels a little uncomfortable, I feel a little nauseous."

Qin Huai's heart tightened in an instant, and he hurriedly helped him to sit down on a flower bed beside him, sprayed him with cooling spray several times to cool down, and then wiped the sweat from his forehead with a cooling wet towel, Then put it on the back of his neck, and then nervously said: "Apart from stomach discomfort and nausea, do you have any other discomfort? Is it dizzy? Is it tight in the chest? Is it painful in the stomach?"

Mu Nan only felt that his heart was beating so fast, coupled with the already suffocating heat, his head naturally became dizzy, but his stomach didn't hurt, he just felt nauseous, but he didn't wait for him When I opened my mouth to speak, there was a violent churn in my stomach, and I vomited it out when I tilted my head. I didn't eat two bites just now, but now I vomited it all up.

Qin Huai half hugged him tightly with one hand, and was on the phone trembling with the other hand. It took a long time to get through the emergency call, and finally calmly finished talking about their geographic location, he was already covered in cold sweat.

Mu Nan vomited once, but the nausea didn't ease at all. Leaning on Qin Huai's body, she felt dizzy. It must be the bowl of noodles just now, and she said the meat was sour. He felt that Qin Huai's hands holding him were trembling, and wanted to comfort him, but he was so dizzy that he couldn't speak at all.

Qin Huai guessed that it might be the problem with the bowl of noodles just now, but he kept cooling down Mu Nan. While waiting for the ambulance to arrive, he didn't know whether it was his heart beating fast or Mu Nan's. Heart beats fast.

When Mu Nan vomited for the second time, he finally heard the sound of an ambulance. This was Mu Nan's first time in an ambulance. Although he suffered from heat stroke once in his last life, the bus driver drove directly to the hospital that time. Unexpectedly, he took an ambulance once in two lifetimes. As soon as he got in the car, he felt that the medical staff in the car were strapping a bunch of things to his body, and there was the sound of instruments beeping beside him. The medical staff were asking about Qin Huai's situation.

Qin Huai's voice was very calm: "Before I ate some food that might not be clean, I felt dizzy and nauseous, I vomited twice, and my stomach was uncomfortable, but I didn't have any cramps, and I didn't have a history of drug allergies."

Although the voice sounded calm, Qin Huai held Mu Nan's hand, and his palm was covered with cold sweat.

The medical staff on the ambulance saw that Qin Huai's face was paler than the patient's. They had seen many family members who were overly worried, so they relieved: "It's okay, his blood pressure is slightly low, and although his temperature is a little high, it's still there. It’s considered normal, as long as it’s not heat stroke, there’s probably no major problem.”

That's what he said, but looking at Mu Nan lying on the emergency bed, how could he not be worried.

It wasn't until Mu Nan was pushed into the emergency room that Qin Huai sat on the ground with some exhaustion, and there was no other place to sit except on the ground. The whole hospital is overcrowded. If it is not necessary to leave a place where a push bed or an emergency bed can pass, the aisle might be full of people.

After a long time, Mu Nan was pushed out, Qin Huai hurried over, and the nurse at the side said: "No big problem, food poisoning, after finishing these bottles of water, go get some medicine, and then you can go home to recuperate. Don’t go out in the first day, heatstroke is more likely to occur in a weak body, remember to prevent and control high temperature, and eat lightly. This is the bill of payment and the list of medicines, family members go to pay and get medicines first.”

Qin Huai took the form and thanked the nurse, until he pushed Mu Nan's bed to a corner of the observation room, and after the nurse left, he gently stroked Mu Nan's pale face.

Mu Nan opened his eyes and looked at him, and didn't drink any water after vomiting, his voice was a little hoarse: "Brother..."

Qin Huai looked at him distressedly: "Is it still uncomfortable?"

Mu Nan said: "It's much better, I don't feel uncomfortable anymore."

Only then did Qin Huai say: "Then close your eyes and sleep for a while, I'll go pay for the medicine, and I'll be back soon."

Hearing Mu Nan hum, Qin Huai checked the syringe bottle for him, and made sure that he couldn't finish it all at once, so he went to pay for the medicine. However, no matter whether it was paying money or getting medicine, they all lined up in a long queue. While he was queuing up, there was a burst of crying from the emergency room beside him. A woman in her thirties knelt on the ground and grabbed the The doctor kept crying and begging: "Please, please don't give up. My baby is only seven years old. He is going to go to primary school this year. I beg you to save him again. It doesn't matter how much money you have, please. Save him, save my child!"

Someone on the side sighed, and even lamented that his face was pale when it was delivered, and he looked like he couldn't be saved. For such a small child, don't go out. This heat stroke is fatal.

This side is still crying, while on the other side of the bed in the observation room, a middle-aged man suddenly began to vomit blood, and several doctors rushed forward to give first aid.

A few more ambulances came to the gate, pushing the patient to the emergency room while yelling to give way. He handed over the patient quickly, pushed the emergency bed and ran to the gate, and the ambulance left quickly, presumably rushing to save the next person.

All the people are busy, and there are endless crying in the whole hospital, either calling the names of comatose patients, or anxiously calling for doctors and nurses to help, those wearing white coats, whether they are old or young, one He was busy walking and running among the patients, and he really didn't even have time to catch his breath.

Some people cried bitterly at the door of the emergency room, some people slept tiredly leaning against the wall in the observation room, some people simply spread a thin sheet on the ground to get an injection because there was no hospital bed, and many people who suffered from heatstroke recovered after simple first aid. He was rushed to the emergency room upstairs.

Family members of patients are no longer allowed to use the direct elevators in the entire hospital. All elevators must ensure smooth operation to transport patients in need of first aid up and down the stairs.

During the ten or so minutes that Qin Huai waited in line to pay the fee, there were urgently sent people in need of rescue almost every minute. They were either pushed in or carried in, or three or two people carried in together. It was high temperature at first glance. heatstroke. Doctors and nurses have already experienced the assembly line. Those who are suffering from high temperature and heatstroke should do an emergency cooling first, those who are in good condition will be pushed into the infusion room, and those who are in poor condition will be sent upstairs to the rescue room. It will be sent to the next patient in need of emergency rescue soon.
