Chapter 196 - 194: Moving Rooms
The comprehensive power restrictions have undoubtedly had a huge impact on the shelter.
Although the city had already adopted a phased water and electricity supply policy previously, limiting the power supply time, during the supply periods, electricity consumption was still unrestricted.
So many people would take this time to charge their available power storage devices to use practically after the electricity supply stopped.
Things like emergency lights provided to each household, some electronic devices preserved before the disaster, and small rechargeable household appliances were all things that survivors in the shelter took to charge every day.
The electronic devices preserved before the disaster provided one of the few entertainment options in the shelter, while emergency lights became the only lighting for each household once the power was out.
After all, the use of open flames such as candles, which might cause fires, is prohibited in the shelters, making emergency lights, which can provide long-term lighting and serve as batteries, extremely useful.
However, now that comprehensive power restrictions have started, the use of various electrical devices has been drastically limited, causing considerable panic.
"What’s going on? Why would they suddenly stop the power supply just like that? Is there no power even during the supply period?" A survivor, with obvious panic and worry on his face, asked the shelter’s management about the situation.
"Yeah, exactly! What’s going on? Doesn’t the city government have an explanation?" Another survivor’s attitude was clearly more intense, but still expressed nervousness and concern.
Of course, some people had long been dissatisfied with the shelter’s managers and took the opportunity to vent their emotions: "What exactly are you doing? Do you not care about the lives of us common folks?"
Even though it is already the end times, reading still needs to happen, and homework still needs to be done. Every shelter has established teaching points, and daily teaching activities are still in progress.
This also raised concerns among parents: "How can there be no electricity? Children have to read and do homework!"
