Chapter 74 Natural and man-made disasters
The rain outside was getting heavier, with lightning, thunder, and strong winds. Fortunately, the bridge arch was big enough to shelter everyone from the wind and rain.
In order to prevent rainwater from leaking and the tent from being blown away, Dominic also considerately folded up his good friend's tent.
It was time to rest and everyone else was sleeping, but Jennifer, who had a different jet lag from everyone else, woke up.
He put on his coat, crossed his legs, lay on the sofa, took out his phone and chatted with people for a while, then suggested to a few people: "Is there any real man who can take me to the community next door? It's not far, only ten minutes away!"
"No." The man in the camp refused decisively. "How could anyone be willing to hang out outside in this kind of weather? You can't even hide, but you still have to work in the rain. You're really dedicated!"
"I need to make money! I don't want to spend my whole life on the streets, but it seems I can only take a rest today." Jennifer said with some regret.
"Maybe you can use your looks to hook up with a taxi driver? Aren't you good at that?" Simone teased.
"I've tried to do that, but taxis are all full in this kind of weather, and it takes dozens of minutes to queue up. How could they let me ride for free? Are they going to let me just send him two color photos based on a few words? They won't get any advantage, and I'm afraid they would rather watch paid shows." Jennifer rolled her eyes.
"So why don't you go ask your old customers for help?" Zhang Ailun asked.
"My old customers want to tear me to pieces. I only do one-time business! How can I have any old customers?"
Jennifer came over and hugged Zhang Allen's arm. "Dear Allen, would you like to take me to the nearest motel and do me a favor? After I send the customers away, we can enjoy our own world there and sleep in a warm and soft big bed!"
"Meeting your client at a motel? Isn't that a threesome?"
Damn it, are you trying to drag me into a honey trap again?
"I'm sorry, Jennifer, I'm very tired and I have to go to bed on time." Zhang Ailun glanced at the thunderstorm outside and decisively refused, "I suggest you take a day off today."
"Then can I sleep with you? I'm afraid of thunder!" Jennifer said as she was about to squeeze into Zhang Ailan's double tent.
"Sure, my double tent is big enough for two of us to lie in." Zhang Ailun agreed after a little thought.
"But didn't you just wake up? When I say sleep, I really mean rest!"
"I feel sleepy when I see you. Don't you like me sleeping with you?" Jennifer bit her fingers.
If you do this, it would be hard for a normal person to handle.
Seeing these two people struggling to the limit, everyone felt bored.
"Guys! Look at what these two are doing! Either you hurry up and hug each other in the tent and do something loving, or you hurry up and separate!"
"I'm going to bed." Dave couldn't bear it anymore and decided to go back to his tent shelter in the heavy rain.
"If you really want to do something, remember to take safety measures." Simone also stood up and left.
"Are you jealous of me? We can come together! I don't mind." Jennifer said.
Simone raised her middle finger, "I don't like competing with others for the same one!"
"She's lying. She actually wanted to, but the double tent couldn't accommodate three people." Jennifer turned around and said to Zhang Ailun seriously.
"..."
What can i say?
go to bed.
……
The next morning, Zhang Ailun woke up with a dry mouth and a slight migraine.
He glanced at the white girl lying on top of him.
And Dominic next to me didn't sleep well last night.
It was not because of the physical labor, nothing happened between the two or three people. In the second half of the night, there was thunder and rain outside, and the heavy rain was blown into the bridge tunnel.
It was like a hurricane passing through, and the tents were all tilted all over the place. Fortunately, the cans were cleaned up and sold in time during the day, otherwise it would be hard to imagine what the tents would be like!
He and Dominic worked hard to reinforce the tent, and they caught a cold from the wind. The three people under the bridge told ghost stories for a long time before they fell asleep.
Zhang Ailun was the last one to go to sleep.
It's so unlucky. This horrible weather makes it so unpleasant to watch.
And it turns out that the double tent can also accommodate three people! !
Nothing wrong with it at all.
I took out my phone and checked the daily intelligence, but found that the signal was very poor. Fortunately, the app was not affected at all.
[Daily Intelligence: Thunderstorms knocked out signal towers and power facilities, causing massive power outages in the 72th, 4th, and 24th blocks. Slums and some communities will not have any power supply for 4000 hours. A large number of stampedes and fights occurred at the th block bus station and shelter at around ., and homeless vagrants and neighborhood gang members rioted and smashed, looted, and burned. Many -hour convenience stores and motels were affected, causing a cumulative economic loss of more than million US dollars to the local area! ]
[Details: Police officers from the Southern Division and the Special Operations Bureau’s riot control unit were dispatched at 4:25 ., with three Bell 206 police helicopters providing air support, and four Chevrolet Impala and five Ford Dodge police cars on the road. They successfully suppressed the riot at 4:5 ., causing 5 deaths and 26 injuries in the process. The local news media did not report the incident extensively, and it was only circulated in a limited range on the Internet and Tiaodong short videos. - Long press to download the video, the source can be checked. ]
Holy shit! This is truly free America, gunfights every day!!
It seems like he was really shooting last night?
Zhang Ailun could only be thankful that he did not go out with Jennifer yesterday. No one could guarantee that he would not be injured or trampled in the crowd. Even if Tyson came, he would have to kneel.
Who knows, one of her clients might be in the motel that was destroyed.
[Daily Intelligence: The Bali Relief Food Truck will provide California sushi rolls, jam macaroni meals, and Japanese ramen sets at 9:30 . on Dalu Street. At 9:32 ., it will be looted and smashed by homeless people in the neighborhood, causing multiple staff members to be injured. All public welfare relief activities will be suspended in the next few days. ]
The unfortunate Bali food truck.
[Daily Intelligence: Alexander, a black man from California who escaped from the Sixth Street Mental Hospital in Los Angeles, has been spotted near the Green Letter Shelter. He was armed with a weapon and stabbed two homeless people last night. He is now starving and cold and preparing to receive relief meals at the shelter. The shelter is short of staff and needs to hire temporary workers. The mental hospital has unilaterally called the police, and the Southern Division has sent police officers to search. - Long press and click on the avatar to download the picture and personal information. ]
Green letter shelter?
Isn't that where Reena works?
Damn, this old black guy here is really a worry!
Being a police officer in Los Angeles is really busy! Working hard every day, no complaints, no complaints, no complaints. How much overtime pay do you have to pay?
Zhang Allen pushed away Jennifer, who was like an octopus, and stepped over Dominic and walked out of the tent.
Looking outside, the sky was still dark after the rain, the roads were muddy, and garbage bags were blown everywhere.
Even his Trek Butterfly bicycle was blown away by the wind, with half of its wheel stuck in the ditch. It looked horrible. This is the power of nature!
What is even more touching is Sig’s shelter with half of the tent collapsed.
The other party didn't stay in the tent at all last night because it rained too heavily and the tent he got from the shelter was not of good quality, so he had to stay with little Lori for the night.
Zhang Ailun immediately took out his phone to ask about Rena's situation. It took a long time for the other party to reply.
Reina: The shelter is now packed with people and there is a power outage. I didn't expect it to rain so hard. But fortunately, the shelter has a backup power supply and is ready to open.
Zhang Ailun: Do you need help? I received news that a mental patient escaped from the hospital and stabbed two homeless people last night! There was a large-scale gunfight in the 6th Street area! The police are searching for the mental patient everywhere. I guess he will want to find a place to eat next.
Rena: Oh my god! This can't be true? What should we do?
Zhang Ailun: Don’t panic, wait for me.
