Chapter 12 012 Heavy Rain 8

At two o'clock in the morning, the temperature dropped directly to minus two degrees. After being woken up by the cold, Ye Fu took out a battery from the space and put an electric blanket on the bed. She thought that these things would not be used until the heavy rain stopped, but she still underestimated this extreme weather.

When the electric blanket became warm, Ye Fu drank a cup of hot water, then quickly got into the quilt and wrapped himself tightly.

The cell phone could no longer receive any signal. Ye Fu stared at the emergency light on the bedside table in a daze. Today was the tenth day after the heavy rain. Only the tenth day.

——

The next day, Ye Fu slept in for a rare time. At ten o'clock, she heard the deafening sound of airplane propellers hovering over the community. Ye Fu suddenly opened her eyes, sat up from the bed, held her breath and confirmed again.

It was really the sound of a helicopter propeller. The rescue team came to deliver supplies.

At half past ten, everyone in Building D came to the twelfth floor. There was a security door that led directly to the roof. The only key was kept at 1201. Because the male owner of 1201 was a policeman, everyone trusted them more. But when they got here, they realized that Officer Song had only come back once since the rainstorm, and the key to the roof was with him. Now the security door could not be opened, and no one could get up.

"Let's break the door open. If we don't go up, the rescue team will think there's no one in our building and they won't drop the supplies down." Chen Dahe said first.

"This is the only way. Come on, a few gentlemen, kick the door together. It should open in a few tries."

After everyone discussed it, they kicked the door excitedly. Ye Fu and Qiu Lan stood in the middle of the crowd, both of them wrapped themselves like dumplings, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed.

Chen Dan was standing on the right side and saw Ye Fu rolling his eyes. Ye Fu ignored her. Chen Dan's son had been crying for several hours last night. Ye Fu vaguely heard him say he wanted snacks and a toy car.

There are many people in the building who have complaints about the Chen family. What's more, with one more person, more supplies have to be divided up. Chen Dan is a married woman, and she brought her husband and naughty child back to share the life-saving supplies with everyone. No one will give her a good look.

If the Chen family and Chen Dan were smarter, they would know that they have to keep a low profile now.

"Stop kicking, I'm back."

A haggard figure squeezed out from the bottom of the stairs. No one recognized that this was the tall and handsome Officer Song. Not only were his clothes ragged and his beard untidy, but he also looked more than ten years older. Officer Song's parents and wife couldn't help crying when they saw him.

He said a few words to comfort her, squeezed to the front and took out the key.

Ye Fu saw a few bloodstains on the gray clothes under his tattered raincoat.

"Xiao Song, how did you get into this state? Oh, do you have any news from above? When will the electricity be restored? When will the heavy rain stop? Why is there no signal? Did the signal tower collapse?"

Officer Song shook his head. "I don't know about these either."

He opened the security door, and the people in front of him swarmed to the roof. Because there was a drainage pipe on the roof, there was no water accumulation. The helicopter quickly arrived at the roof of Building D, and the supplies were quickly dropped down. In less than half a minute, the helicopter flew to the next roof. Several men dragged the supplies to the corridor on the twelfth floor. Officer Song locked the security door and took his two-year-old daughter from his wife.

"How did it become like this?"

"I encountered robbers on my way back."

"Are you going back to the police station?"

"No, the situation is out of control and I am worried about my family."

After they finished their low conversation, Ye Fu noticed that Mrs. Song looked much more relaxed. Qiu Lan poked Ye Fu's arm and leaned over to whisper, "There are too few things."

Ye Fu took a look at the supplies: a box of mineral water, a box of compressed biscuits, and a box of canned meat.

"It cannot be divided by the number of people, it must be divided by household registration. After all, some families have only one person, while some families have eight or nine people."

"That's even worse. Then one person gets the same amount as eight people. Is that fair?"

"If we're talking about fairness, then we'll divide it up according to the property ownership certificate. People who live in this building and are listed on the property ownership certificate can get a share, but those who are not listed on the property ownership certificate cannot. Is that fair enough?"

No matter how it was divided, there would always be people who felt it was unfair. In the end, everyone turned their attention to Officer Song.

"How about this, each family gets a bottle of water, three compressed biscuits, and three cans of meat. This way, every family will get a portion."

The Chen family still felt that it was unfair. There were eight people in their family, and their family had the largest number of people in the entire building. However, this was divided by Officer Song. Although they were unhappy, they did not dare to say much.

Ye Fu returned to his home after getting the supplies, including three cans of braised pork, a small bottle of mineral water, and some compressed biscuits. Although small, they were very heavy. They tasted average, but expanded when soaked in water.

Ye Fu took out two steamed buns and had lunch with a can of meat.

He had been planning to take a nap, but just as he had finished his meal, there was a knock on the door. Ye Fu opened the door and was surprised to see Officer Song.

"Xiao Ye, my parents are not feeling well. Can you help take a look? I heard from everyone that you are a very good doctor."

Ye Fu looked at him calmly, and of course, Officer Song was also observing Ye Fu.

A nineteen-year-old genius girl was abandoned by her biological parents at birth, and was picked up and raised by Doctor Shen on the tenth floor. She was admitted to university at the age of sixteen and was the top scorer in science. Her adoptive mother died when she was seventeen, and her adoptive father died a few months ago. Now she has become an orphan again.

"Okay, let me make it clear first. I can provide acupuncture treatment, but I can't provide medicine. You have to pay for the treatment. I don't want money, just supplies or firewood."

Officer Song already knew all this, and he nodded to indicate that there was no problem.

Ye Fu went back to the house and got the medicine box, which contained a set of silver needles and a set of scalpels. He followed Officer Song to his home and when he saw the sick father and mother, Ye Fu knew what was going on with them.

"The temperature dropped below zero last night. The two of them are suffering from hypothermia. Fortunately, it is only moderate. They are now shivering, fainting, unable to speak normally, with purple lips and pale faces. I will measure their body temperatures first. If the temperature is too low, they may need to go to the hospital for treatment. Hypothermia can cause heart and lung failure."

Song's father and mother are less than 60 years old. If an elderly person over 70 years old suffers from hypothermia, they may die quickly.

People with severe hypothermia will lose consciousness and enter a hibernation state.

"Xiaoye, are the consequences of hypothermia serious?"

Ye Fu nodded. There have been many news reports that if long-distance runners or mountaineering enthusiasts get lost and happen to encounter cold weather, they will suffer from hypothermia and are likely to die.

"34 degrees."

Ye Fu handed the thermometer to Officer Song and his wife.

"It's all my fault. I didn't notice the temperature drop last night until Wenwen woke me up with a sudden burst of crying. Then I realized the temperature had dropped. When I went to my parents' room to wake them up, their mental and physical conditions were still normal. If I had measured their body temperatures at that time, we wouldn't have been discovered until now."
