The next morning, Liang Yu woke up naturally in his own home, stretched, and then opened his wristband to check the messages in the community group chat.
He hadn't looked at it for over a month, and as expected, there were 999+ messages. He skipped these directly and only looked at the most recent ones.
The first thing that caught his eye was a message from Li Dama.
“Have you all heard? That global theft syndicate has arrived in our country.”
“This morning, I also heard that several docks and the warehouses of several large supermarkets nearby were also robbed last night.”
“The method is exactly the same as reported abroad before.”
“And I also heard that the identity of the culprits has not yet been confirmed.”
702 Yi Yi: “No way, doesn’t that mean we’re in great danger now??”
402 Ye Yuan: “I don’t know what 702 means by danger, but I think with so many things stolen, it might affect our daily lives.”
702 Li Yilin: “Yes, yes, yes, my wife didn’t express it clearly, but that’s what she meant. Prices are already high, everything has gone up these days, only my salary hasn’t. With this commotion, I’m afraid prices will rise again.”
1601 Property Management Li Caihua: “Everyone, don’t worry. Our property management has received notice that the state has ordered that daily necessities like grains and vegetables will maintain their original prices and will not affect everyone’s daily lives.”
1801 Hu Zhiyun: “Li Dama, I suspect you’re lying to me. What do you mean daily necessities haven’t gone up? My usual milk tea and snacks have already doubled in price.”
1601 Property Management Li Caihua: “Little Hu, I already said that grains and vegetables will maintain their original prices. Those things you mentioned are all junk food.”
Seeing the lively discussion in the group, Liang Yu noticed a message that broke the atmosphere.
1501 Xu Tai: “Everyone, be more careful. I suggest you stock up on daily food and drinks. Haven’t you seen the news? A super typhoon, a once-in-a-century event, is coming in two days.”
1601 Property Management Li Caihua: “Yes, I was just about to tell you about this. This is to remind everyone to store about five days’ worth of food and try not to go out before the typhoon leaves.”
1601 Property Management Li Caihua: “Everyone should store about five days’ worth of food and try not to go out before the typhoon leaves. I hope all neighbors will inform each other.”
1601 Property Management Li Caihua: “Everyone should store about five days’ worth of food and try not to go out before the typhoon leaves. I hope all neighbors will inform each other.”
1601 Property Management Li Caihua: “Everyone should store about five days’ worth of food and try not to go out before the typhoon leaves. I hope all neighbors will inform each other.”
After Li Dama sent these three messages, the group quickly fell silent. Everyone knew that if they spoke again, they would be in trouble with Li Dama.
Liang Yu found it boring and closed the messages.
He was exhausted last night. After collecting his things, he even specifically went to the mayor’s house and left a printed note, clearly stating that after this typhoon, the entire world would experience endless rain, followed by extremely cold weather.
And Liang Yu was killed by his neighbors not long after the extreme cold set in.
He had thought about this for a long time, why so many people would specifically target him.
The only conclusion he reached was that he was too kind-hearted at the time, so in the eyes of others, he was an easy target, a soft persimmon to bully.
And so, days passed one by one. Everyone safely stayed at home during the days the typhoon raged.
It wasn't until noon on July 31st, five hours after the typhoon had left, that the dark clouds in the sky gathered again.
The city, which should have been bathed in sunlight, was once again plunged into darkness.
As the dark clouds continued to gather, the sky began to rain again. Unlike the previous drizzle, this time the raindrops were already the size of a little finger.
People had already grown accustomed to the changes in the weather and didn't take it seriously, only complaining in the group.
402 Ye Yuan: “What’s going on with this weather? Why did a sudden downpour start again? I was just about to go out to restock on instant food.”
1602 Liu Cui: “Exactly! I even thought the typhoon had returned. I went out earlier, and I was almost back when it suddenly started pouring. My whole body and the things I bought got soaked. How unlucky!”
1201 Song He: “@1602 Liu Cui, you’re lucky. My friend went out and is now trapped in the supermarket.”
“He just told me that in just ten minutes, the water level in the supermarket has already reached his knees.”
401 Wang Zhengling: “I think it must be the aftermath of the typhoon. It seems the city’s drainage system is blocked.”
“But haven’t you noticed that the rainfall is too heavy?”
At this moment, Li Dama came out to comfort everyone.
1601 Property Management Li Caihua: “Everyone, please rest assured, the heavy rain is only temporary. Perhaps the official staff are currently working hard on repairs.”
“What we need to do is stay in our homes and not go out and cause trouble for the officials.”
402 Ye Yuan: “Li Dama is right. We should consciously stay at home and not go out casually to cause trouble for the officials.”
1701 Deng Yicheng: “I also strongly support Li Dama’s suggestion.”
Below were a chorus of agreements from the other residents.
1302 Chen Bailun: “Does anyone have fever reducers at home? My son has a persistent high fever right now. If any neighbor has fever reducers, I can buy them! 300 per box.”
101 Lin Guorui: “Everyone, what should I do? My house is already one-third flooded! Help!!!”
“The water level is still constantly rising. I estimate it won’t be long before the first floor is completely submerged.”
102 Huang Wenlou: “Yes, it’s the same situation here.”
At this moment, Huang Wenlou @1601 Property Management Li Caihua.
102 Huang Wenlou: “Li Dama, you are a member of our property management. You must find a solution for us. I don’t think draining the water out is possible. If this rain continues, the first floor will eventually be submerged. Please arrange a new place for our two families.”
101 Lin Guorui: “Yes, there are only two of us. Just find a place to make do for now, and when the water recedes in a couple of days, we’ll go back to our own homes.”
102 Huang Wenlou: “There are three people here on my side. My two friends are still with me.”
At this moment, Chen Bailun @1601 Property Management Li Caihua.
1302 Chen Bailun: “Li Dama, never mind them for now. My son still has a high fever. It’s a matter of life and death! They can be dealt with later, it doesn’t matter.”
“Can someone find some fever-reducing medicine or something? I’ll pay for it.”
