Chapter 1085: Depressing Atmosphere
Heath's curry chicken sold very quickly. Although there were not many people in the shelter, it was still no problem for everyone to finish a bucket of Heath's curry chicken. Moreover, the price Heath sold it at was also welcomed by many people. It was even said that the curry chicken tasted better than the curry chicken sold in Qianhong City, and the price was not cheaper than this. Heath was a little amused when he heard this. When he raised the price by one dollar before, he thought that this was not a good thing to do. Unexpectedly, it turned out not to be the case in the end. On the contrary, it can be said that Heath's price was very affordable. It was said that the price increased by one dollar, but for these people, this price was actually cheaper and more cost-effective than before.
The first night before the typhoon came, which passed slowly after everyone had eaten and drunk their fill. Heath slept soundly that night. After all, he didn't have to get up early the next day. He also talked to Zoroark and the others about it. It turned out that Zoroark and the others planned to stay up all night playing a recently released game. Heath wanted to laugh, but didn't say anything. Anyway, it would probably be the same tomorrow. Whether he could do business or not depended on the situation. After all, the Alliance provided food, and not many people would come to Heath's place to eat.
The next morning, Heath woke up very early. He had been sleeping, but there was no way. The howling wind outside even woke Heath up. He yawned, then climbed out of bed, then pushed open the window and took a look. It was already dawn outside the shelter, but it seemed not to be dawn, because there was a howling wind outside the window, and even the window glass was ringing. This was the glass specially customized by Junsha and others, but he didn't expect that it was still a little fragile when facing Sarin.
Heath changed his clothes. The shelter was already in a mess, with people coming and going everywhere. Heath could see the uneasiness in these people's eyes. He pushed open the door of the lounge. The Pokémon were all resting obediently. Even Zoroark and Mew, who said they would stay up all night, were looking at the strong wind outside through the one-way floor-to-ceiling windows. Mew didn't care at all. It had seen countless natural disasters, even more exaggerated than this typhoon.
But for Zoroark and Charizard, this scene was too shocking.
"Let's wash up." Heath yawned.
"Master, I just seemed to see a tree flying past outside." Xiaoyao was brushing her teeth. Heath glanced out the window while brushing his teeth. Indeed, there was everything outside the window now. When Heath turned his head to look, he even saw a pair of shoes flying past at a very fast speed. This was the third floor.
The shoes flew to the third floor?
"I suddenly understood a saying. People say that in a level 15 typhoon you can eat apples grown outside the city at home, while in a level 17 or above typhoon you can eat the green trees in your community at home." Heath shrugged. In this kind of weather, let alone doing business, being outside is a disrespect for life.
"Master, can greening trees be eaten?" Xiaoyao's focus was still so strange. Heath was a little amused and then shook his head. Although he had never eaten greening trees, they were definitely not edible. However, it seemed that saying this was a bit absolute. In the past hungry times, tree bark was also a precious food in people's eyes. At that time, it was good enough to be able to fill their stomachs.
After washing up, Heath took Xiaoyao downstairs, and Heath's Pokémon also wanted to go downstairs together for a rare look, so Heath simply took his Pokémon downstairs. At this moment in the shelter, everyone was nervously leaning on the windowsill looking outside. The windows of the shelter were specially designed, not very big, but enough for people to see.
There was a strong wind outside, and trees were uprooted. The glass was shaking and seemed like it would burst at any time, but even so, there were many people near the windows. Heath even saw a man covering his face and sitting on the ground in silence. He didn't cry out loud, but the crying sound reached Heath's ears . Heath remembered the man's clothes. He was the one who said yesterday that he had just paid off his mortgage, and his house also had a basement.
After all, the housing prices in Qianhong City are not cheap. Houses in basements are cheap and are the best choice for many people who are short of money.
However, when facing typhoons and heavy rains, the basement becomes the most dangerous place.
The shelter was extremely quiet the entire morning. Only when the Alliance came to distribute lunch boxes did everyone quietly line up to take their own lunch boxes, and then ate in silence. Heath did not do business because he could see that everyone did not care whether the food was delicious or not. What they cared about was when the typhoon would pass and when they could go home. They wanted to see if their little homes could survive the typhoon.
There is no point in cooking at this time. It won’t sell and no one will have an appetite.
People's moods are very strange. When they are in a good mood, they have a good appetite. If they are in a bad mood, they have no appetite to eat. If they are angry, they have no desire to eat at all. Heath was once very hungry, but then he encountered something that made him particularly angry. As a result, Heath had no appetite at all that day, not even the slightest appetite. He was originally very hungry, but he was filled with anger.
"Master, I feel so depressed..." Xiaoyao lowered her head and tugged at her master's sleeve. Her cell phone was disconnected from the Internet. There was still electricity in the shelter, but there was no Internet.
"That's right." Heath sighed. Facing the violent storms of nature, people are always powerless. Even in the world of Pokémon, this is true unless there are legendary beasts willing to take action. However, legendary beasts generally do not take action because this is the law of nature.
"Snorlax, do you want to come out and sing a song?" Heath touched his Poké Ball, and Snorlax sent out words of rejection. In this depressing atmosphere, he didn't dare to speak. It was too depressing, so depressing that even Snorlax couldn't accept it.
Heath looked around and saw that people were all lowering their heads, whispering something to their families. Even the woman who was very optimistic yesterday fell silent when faced with this situation. The atmosphere in the entire shelter was so depressing that it made people feel scary.
This atmosphere continued until the evening without any relief, and the shelter was still dead silent. Heath knew that the only way to comfort them at this time was for the Alliance staff to come out, or for them to wait for the typhoon to pass, but the typhoon did not go away.
