Chapter 24: Chapter 24 The Threat of Aunt Anne
Jack played games while eating imported snacks, living a delicious life.
The entire city of T, o more than 99% of the world's regions, was in a state of water and power outages.
The problem of water shortage was slightly easier to solve.
People who can't stand it can go out and dig snow to get water.
But the power outage was the most unbearable thing!
However, no wonder the authorities, after all, most power stations were not inoperable, and workers were unable to go to work. Jack remembered that there would still be a period of power supply every day, and the authorities did not want all the people to die. However, relying on nuclear power plants and new energy power plants in 21st century industries, the electricity provided was very limited.
Modern people's bodies were very delicate, allowing them to live in temperatures as low as minus tens of degrees Celsius, which was simply killing them!
At most, let them charge their phones or boil hot water.
You didn't even have to think about high-power appliances like air conditioners and heaters.
At this moment, the neighbors were howling in the homeowner group, and fear made them choose to huddle together for warmth, hoping that someone could bring them a glimmer of hope.
David, whose leg was previously broken by Jack, was now dragging a broken leg and almost freezing to death at home.
He was already injured and had to live in extremely low temperatures, causing him double the damage.
And his lackeys were even more miserable.
Although Jack only drenched them all with a water pipe at the time.
But at this temperature, there was no means of heating at all.
The indoor temperature gradually approached the outdoor temperature, reaching minus 50-60 degrees.
Several people had started to have a high fever, with the lowest temperature reaching 39 ° C and several temperatures above 40 ° C.
Due to their lack of awareness of preparing medication, they did not prepare ibuprofen at home.
And this weather made it even more impossible for them to go out and buy medicine.
Therefore, they can only choose to carry it hard.
That's why Jack didn't shoot them at the time.
Letting them freeze to death in daily despair was much more satisfying than directly killing them!
Jack sat on the carpet, focused on playing games.
It's freezing outside, with a howling north wind mixed with large snowflakes and heavy snow.
In the room, there was a 27-degree and the lights were brightly lit, so you didn't have to worry about food or drink. You had everything you need for food and entertainment.
If we had to talk about our shortcomings, it's probably the lack of a woman to accompany Jack.
However, Jack was not the kind of idiot who had a brain on his head.
He had already suffered losses from women in his previous life, and now he definitely prioritized his own safety and quality of life.
He cannot allow anyone to enter his safe house unless it was absolutely safe.
In the apocalypse, the human heart was something that cannot be measured.
He once witnessed with his own eyes a woman smashing her husband to death for a bag of instant noodles.
At that moment, Jack's phone lit up again.
He took it over with great interest and found that it was Aunt Anne who was calling all the people in the homeowner group.
"Due to the current blizzard, it has had a huge impact on people's lives."
"According to official notifications, this snow will continue for a relatively short period of time."
"In order to help everyone overcome difficulties together, everyone can live with dignity in difficult times."
"So from now on, the neighborhood committee will collect the materials on hand from each household and then distribute them uniformly."
"This is an official directive, please all households must cooperate! Otherwise, anyone who is selfish and disobeys the organization's arrangements will be liquidated by the organization afterwards!"
"Don't think you're capable and go against our organization. Remember, your families all have their own weaknesses!"
Jack sneered.
It's the same routine as in the previous life.
As a member of the neighborhood committee, although Aunt Anne had limited power, she still had more sources of information than ordinary people.
She must have known for a long time that the end of the world was coming, and the official in T City had already fallen into a state of shutdown.
That's why she wanted to use deception and intimidation to make everyone take out their supplies for her.
However, Aunt Anne's methods were not very clever enough.
After all, she was just an old woman with a middle school level.
In fact, smart people can immediately see that there was something wrong with what she said.
Even if the government conducts unified regulation, it was impossible for such orders to be issued.
However, there were over fifty households living in this building, and there would always be some timid ones who, out of fear, obey Aunt Anne's words. Jack didn't intend to take care of this matter, he just wanted to see the excitement.
Sure enough, this time, due to Aunt Anne's strong tone of confiscating supplies from various households, some people were finally forced to rush.
Ada, who lives on the 15th floor, was also a colleague of Jack. As a frugal housewife, she often brought things home from the warehouse on weekdays. Neighbors all knew this.
Aunt Anne needed to collect supplies from various families, and their families cannot escape.
Ada said, "Now that it's snowing heavily and the doors are closed, there's no way we can go out. Each household doesn't have enough food to eat on their own. Do you still have to collect and distribute it uniformly? Is this decent?""
Another homeowner named Alex also said, "Everyone's life is not easy, it's not easy to keep some food. If you still want to confiscate it, that's too much!" Aunt Anne gritted her teeth and pressed the voice button hard with her fingers.
"I have said before, nowadays is an extraordinary moment, and of course, we need to use extraordinary means!"
"The snow disaster will pass soon; you don't have to worry. It's just for everyone to redistribute the supplies."
"At times like this, many families don't have anything to eat. Are you selfish?"
"Don't think too much about your neighbors either!"
Some households had stockpiled supplies, so naturally some households lack supplies.
So people who lacked supplies at home naturally came forward to support Aunt Anne.
"Yeah, we're all neighbors. What's wrong with helping each other out at this time?"
"Isn't it just some food and drink? It's not that we can't afford it on weekdays, which means the situation is just special these past few days!"
"This is an organizational decision. If you don't comply, the consequences won't be affordable for everyone."
In the Chat group, two groups of people began to argue.
Jack remained silent, and Jenny and Rose also remained silent.
Because they actually had a lot of supplies in their house.
But with their personalities, it's impossible to hand them over even if they died.
Jack's idea of watching a play was soon shattered.
Although he didn't speak, Aunt Anne took the initiative to send him a private message.
"Jack, you work in the warehouse, so there must be a lot of food and drinks at home on weekdays, right?"
"I still remember last time you bought something with three big cars!"
"Now everyone is in trouble, it's time for you to show your spirit."
"Don't worry, once the snow disaster passes, we will definitely give it back to you. Everyone will still remember your kindness."
Aunt Anne first made a fuss in the Chat group, causing some timid people to panic.
Then she started breaking through one by one.
As long as she can deceive other families, she can obtain some supplies that can allow her and her grandson to live a few more days!
Jack, the warehouse supervisor of Mart, was also targeted by Aunt Anne.
