My courtyard shelter

Dad Xu was still hesitating, and Mom Xu made a decision for him: "Old man, Dongzi is right, the convenience store should not be opened for the time being. Read М"

"But there are still some unsold fresh food in the store, I'm afraid it will go bad." Dad Xu said in embarrassment.

"This is easy." Xu Dong interrupted, "Dad, let's go to the store now and move all these things back. There are three empty jars in the yard. The unfinished ones can be made into pickles."

Mom Xu immediately agreed and said, "Let's do it."

As soon as he said it, Xu Dong took the key and walked towards the garage, and Dad Xu followed reluctantly.

As soon as he stepped out of the door, Xu Dong suddenly found that the aurora appeared in the sky.

The curtain swayed lightly, and the light was colorful

The reason why these auroras appeared is 100% related to solar flares.

I didn't expect the aurora to appear on the first day in Yanjing, perhaps because of the high latitude.

In the previous life in Luyang, the aurora appeared two days later, and then went south all the way to the end of the world.

"Keke, Lele, come out and see the aurora." Xu Dong hurriedly called out.

The whole family ran out, even the triplets were carried out.

"This is the aurora, so romantic!" Yang Lina's eyes were almost shining.

"Wow, so beautiful." Keke clapped her hands and cheered.

Watching the lanterns in the first half of the night and the aurora in the second half of the night, the little guy felt that today was a lucky day.

"It's really beautiful!"

It was the first time for everyone to see the aurora in their lives, and they were more or less shocked.

After enjoying the aurora with their family for ten minutes, Xu Dong and Xu's father still set off.

There were many more traffic police on the street, and some sections of the road were even closed.

In addition, almost all the screens on the exterior walls were broadcasting the news, and the host was repeating the emergency briefing over and over again.

There were many more people who came out to buy things overnight than expected, and some impatient customers banged on the store door.

When they arrived at their own convenience store, several customers had also gathered at the door.

As soon as everyone saw Mr. Xu get off the car, they quickly surrounded him.

A young man was moved and said, "Uncle Xu, you came just in time. I was just hesitating whether to try my luck somewhere else."

As Mr. Xu greeted the old customers, the door of the convenience store over there was already opened.

Xu Dong shouted, "Come in if you want to buy something. We are only open for half an hour."

Several customers rushed in, picked up their shopping baskets and rushed straight to the shelves.

At this time, everyone didn't care about the price. They took whatever they needed without mercy.

Mr. Xu walked back and forth in the store, mainly worried that someone would take advantage of the chaos to hide things; Xu Dong turned into a porter and worked hard.

After more than ten minutes, customers checked out and left one after another.

Xu Dong observed that they were basically instant noodles, biscuits, bread and other ready-to-eat foods, as well as boxes of mineral water.

Mr. Xu was still not thick-skinned enough and never mentioned the price increase from beginning to end.

Half an hour later, the door of the convenience store was closed again, and a notice of "temporary suspension of business" was posted.

Xu Dong started the truck again and took away all the fresh products in the store.

When he returned home, Xu Dong did not help his father unload the goods, but discharged the batteries of the two cars.

In his previous life, he did not discharge the car batteries in time, which resulted in the entire car's electronic control system being almost scrapped.

…

After unloading the goods, Xu's mother immediately made a video call to her daughter Xu Ting. She had called several times but failed to get through, but this time it was quickly connected.

"Mom, I was just about to call you, are you all right?"

Xu Ting should be outside at this time, and the camera was a little shaky.

"Everything is fine. There is enough food at home, and Dabao and his family have enough milk powder."

After saying this, Xu's mother leaned close to the phone screen, trying to see where her daughter was. "Where are you? Why isn't Ma Jie with you?"

Afraid that Xu's mother would worry, Xu Ting turned the phone over, pointed the camera at the door sign next to her, and explained:

"It's at the entrance of the community supermarket. I just received a notice that the whole country will have water and power outages. Everyone is rushing out to buy things. Now the streets are busier than during the day.

Ma Jie drove to RT-Mart. The nearby small supermarkets were almost sold out. There was nothing to buy."

"Where are Lingling and Ma Xu?"

"They are collecting water at home. The big and small basins are full. I don't know how many days the water outage will last?" Xu Ting complained.

Dad Xu interrupted, "Your brother said it would be out for about a week."

"Ahem..."

Xu Dong quickly came out to correct:

"I said the flare would last for a week. As for the water and power outages, I don't think it would take more than a month.

This flare is very large and destructive, so it's not easy to recover."

Xu Dong deliberately exaggerated the recovery time, just to let his sister's family stock up more supplies and make more preparations.

In fact, Luyang City is the capital of a state. According to the experience of the previous life, the water, electricity and gas in the urban area will be restored in less than half a month.

"Is it so serious?" Xu Ting said in surprise.

"I just read the news online. It's so serious in Europe and the United States. Even the experts said that it would take at least 20 years to restore the entire power grid."

Although the news is fake, the experts' words are true. This is a report that Xu Dong read in the newspaper in his previous life.

Even Dad Xu was shocked, "The country has cut off power in advance, but it can't be avoided?"

Xu Dong once again transformed into the Great Prophet:

"Didn't I say that the scale of this solar flare is unprecedented? Anyway, the larger the electrical equipment, the more likely it is to be damaged. The power outage is only to reduce the degree of damage, not a permanent solution."

"What's the reason?"

"I'm not an expert, and I don't understand the specific principle. It seems that there are some charged particles that are charged in themselves. Anyway, scientists in Europe and the United States say so."

In the video, Xu Ting's face suddenly became heavy, and she obviously believed her brother's "nonsense".

Xu Dong took the opportunity to suggest:

"Sister, ask your brother-in-law to buy more rice, buy big bags, ten bags or eight bags are not too much, it's best to stock up a few thousand kilograms.

And the Jinhua ham and air-dried chicken you brought back, don't give them away, you can keep them as a dish."

"I know, I'll call your brother-in-law later." Xu Ting promised solemnly.

Xu's mother gave a few more instructions and then hung up the phone. Next, there will be no contact for at least half a month.

Then, Xu's mother called her eldest son's family again. This time, Xu Dong did not show up, but the content of the call was similar to the previous one.

In a word, it is to store more food. It doesn't cost much anyway, so it's better to be prepared.

At 3:15, the air raid alarm that had been sounding for more than an hour finally stopped, and the whole world was quiet.

Yang Lina quickly arranged for the two sisters to go to bed. They were so sleepy that they could hardly open their eyes.

Xu Dong was not sleepy at all at this time. He was making final preparations for the next major power outage.
