This world is terrible

Chapter 405 Heavy rain is coming

That night.

The raindrops were like swarming locusts, slapping rapidly on the doors and windows of the convenience store.

"Ok?"

In front of the shelves, I heard the patter of rain behind me. A clerk turned around and took a breath of cold air: "Damn, why did it suddenly rain? I didn't bring an umbrella..."

"Ha, let you not pay attention to weather news."

In the distance, another clerk gloated: "You didn't expect it, right? The landing place of this typhoon is not far from us. It's only a matter of time before it rains. You have to be a big-hearted person to be unprepared at all."

"Don't talk sarcastically about you."

The clerk who was reaching out to replenish the goods in front of the shelves rolled his eyes: "Brother, please give me a ride after get off work. I can call a taxi when I get to town."

"Hey, I'm talking about you two!"

At this time, the store manager's dissatisfied voice suddenly came from the cashier: "Just do your job well, I won't pay you for talking nonsense."

"Yes, boss."

The two of them responded without interest, but they couldn't help but curse in a low voice: "You are so stupid, so of course you don't have to worry if you live upstairs..."

"Damn it, who would brave the rain to come to this place where birds don't lay eggs to buy things in this damn weather?"

Just when the store clerks naively thought that there would be no more customers in the next few hours, suddenly, several beams of light from far to near pierced the rain curtain and went straight in front of the store.

Then, several men and women hurriedly ran out of the car and swarmed into the store.

"Welcome the light..."

The menacing look of the people in front of him almost made the store manager think they were encountering a zero-yuan purchase. It wasn't until they rushed into the food area without looking back that they finally came to their senses.

hiss.

Are you here to purchase supplies?

No way, there are so many supermarkets in the town, why would you think of coming to me?

Could it be that they were all robbed?

As if to confirm his conjecture, more and more car lights lit up from a distance and stopped in front of the door. Then many anxious residents rushed into the store.

"Quick! Wife, you get the food, I'll find the tools!"

"Don't let others get there first, get it quickly!"

"Er smash—er smash?"

The originally peaceful convenience store was suddenly overwhelmed by a burst of noise. The two clerks were dumbfounded as they looked at the crowds of people rushing around.

"What's going on - where did all these people come from?"

"I can't come."

No one expected it.

The landing time of the early warning "change at dawn and at night" could produce such rapid changes in local areas.

It is like a time bomb, gradually tightening people's psychological defenses, until a certain critical point before detonating, igniting everyone's desire for life.

“Has all the supermarkets in town been robbed?”

"Hey, that one over there, put your things down for me! You can take as much as you want by yourself!"

"My pleasure."

This is a rebound invisibly driven by "migratory birds".

At this time, the radiation area with Guanhai Park as the center has become a desert where supplies are in short supply. Countless residents like headless flies are doing their best to purchase, trying their best to grab the last bit of time before the typhoon comes.

"Wow, this is not good."

Another group of people arrived, and they looked at the bustling convenience store in front of them with surprise on their faces.

The store manager then raised his head from the endless checkout, and looked at the group of foreigners in front of him who had an appearance that was obviously different from the Kyushu people, and became even more confused.

Where did these foreigners come from?

"Hello." The leader asked the store manager: "Is there any convenience food in the store? We were rushing all the way and we haven't even had lunch yet."

The store manager glanced at the fast food cabinet opposite with his peripheral vision and shook his head in embarrassment.

"Ok."

The foreigners helplessly spread their hands and walked toward the residents holding large amounts of food, as if they were negotiating.

But not long after, there were faint sounds of arguing.

Obviously at this juncture, no one would be willing to give up the precious materials they had obtained, not to mention that the other party was a few foreigners of unknown origin. In just a few words, the dispute escalated into a quarrel.

"What are you doing standing there? Hurry up and take a look!"

The store manager stared at the two onlookers with an almost murderous gaze before driving them over reluctantly.

At the end of the shelves in the food section, two groups of people were standing there, refusing to give in to each other verbally.

"I don't mean to offend you in any way, but aren't you the one who truly disrespects others?"

On the foreign side, a curly-haired young man argued hard, trying to save his reputation from the crowd of onlookers.

But local residents don't buy it at all.

He glanced at the foreigners who were opening their mouths to take things away with disgust, and cursed: "Go away, who knows what you people are thinking about, with such a careless look on your face, do you think our disaster area is a party? "

"we do not have!"

"Once again, we are meteorological enthusiasts and we are here just for the data of this typhoon. We have no other intention..."

"Everyone calm down."

The clerk looked at him with both eyes, but under the gaze behind him that was like needles piercing his back, he could only bite the bullet and step forward to mediate.

Just when these three parties are entangled.

suddenly.

Bang!

All the incandescent lights on the ceiling were extinguished, and the rich darkness swallowed up the entire convenience store in an instant.

"what!"

Screams sounded one after another.

"Quiet, everyone quiet!"

It was the store manager's voice.

The convenience store had a power outage, and he might face someone evading the bill, so he had to stand up and maintain order as much as possible: "It should just trip the circuit breaker. Everyone stay where they are and wait for me to go to the warehouse to check."

The store manager bent down, found a spare candle in the dark, and took out a lighter from his pocket.

Snapped.

With a crisp sound, light once again visited this isolated island in the wind and rain, but compared to electricity, candles were like a precarious lifeline, swaying people's hearts.

"Xiao Zhang!"

The store manager placed the candle in front of the cash register and motioned to one of the employees to come over: "You and Xiao Wang maintain order, and I will go to the warehouse behind to check the electric switch. Remember, if anyone wants to take advantage of the chaos to evade the order, you will Remember his face, and I will settle the score with him as soon as the typhoon passes!"

While instructing the employees, the store manager lit a second candle. At the same time, he did not forget to scan the surrounding customers with warning eyes. When he saw that no one was messing around, he picked up the candle and walked slowly into the warehouse behind.

In front of the checkout counter, looking at the unclear figures outside the firelight, Xiao Zhang felt extremely stressed and could only speak out to calm the emotions of the customers.

"Everyone just wait a moment, don't be anxious, it will recover soon..."

"Don't wait, your power won't be restored."

At this moment, an untimely sound suddenly interrupted him, making him look at the place where the sound came from in annoyance.

But as the door opened and closed, the sound of rain fell, and a figure full of water vapor came to the cashier with long water stains, and said: "I got out of the car and walked all the way, but there was no place at all." There is electricity.”

"This is not something that happened to your family at all, but to the whole town, this area where the typhoon landed mainly in Guanhai Park..."

The figure raised his unclear face: "Big power outage."
