Chapter 848 833. Santa Claus Delivering Candles
The storm lasted for nearly 70 hours, but except for the first day, the wind and rain were much lighter. In the last few hours, the tropical cyclone left the area, and there was only light wind and rain.
So far, more than 50 people have been accommodated in the office building, and people from a dozen families have been transferred in.
When the wind and rain were light enough to be acceptable, Pharaoh couldn't help but cross himself at the door: God bless, Hallelujah, the office building is quite strong, and it didn't break the chain at the critical moment.
If there is an accident in the office building, he can only transfer people to the supermarket.
After confirming that it was safe outside, Wang Bo opened the door to let everyone leave. The townspeople broke out with enthusiasm like winning a war, and waved their arms and roared loudly.
But yelling, some people started crying.
Some children experienced such a terrible thing for the first time in their lives. People who came to the office building had their houses destroyed, and they were tantamount to homeless people.
For New Zealanders, homelessness is terrible. The New Zealand government does not do as well as the Chinese government in this regard. China pays attention to the support of all parties when one party is in trouble. Such families who encounter natural disasters will receive compensation and assistance.
New Zealand doesn't say that, if these people don't have insurance on their home, they're going to be miserable and it's going to take a lot of their savings to build it.
Wang Bo thought the crisis was finally over, but the lights above his head flickered a few times and then went out quickly.
At the same time, the lights of the entire office building were extinguished, as were the lights of the commercial and residential areas, and Sunset Town turned black in an instant.
Many families hadn't celebrated the disaster yet, and then they encountered a large-scale power outage, which really broke people down. Those with poor psychological quality cried on the spot.
The whole town was dark, and many people were crying. To be honest, Wang Bo felt that this scene was a bit scary, and it would be suitable for Halloween.
There was an electrician in the town. He went to the substation to have a look and came back and said, "It's not our problem. The substation is operating normally and the wiring is normal. I think there is a problem with the power supply station."
"Is it impossible to restore normal power consumption in a short time?" Wang Bo asked.
The electrician shrugged and said, "I have to contact the power station. I hope they can repair it quickly, but I think it's very difficult. You know, it's still raining outside. It's a bit difficult to repair the circuit in such weather."
Wang Bo understands this difficulty, but every household can't do it.
He thought about it, there should be candles in the supermarket, so he called Anderson, who said that the warehouse did have a lot of candles in stock.
Wang Bo went to have a look. There were a total of ten boxes of candles of various models and purposes, as well as magic candles, fireworks candles and scented candles.
"A lot."
Anderson shrugged and said: "It's not that I intend to stock up, but that people usually don't buy candles very much. I think I only bought goods once since the supermarket opened, and I have been hoarding until now."
As he said that, he laughed: "But we are lucky, these candles will not be hoarded in this damn place forever, and they will make us a lot of money right away."
Wang Bo shook his head and said, "No, I don't want to sell them. Distributing these candles to the townspeople for free is a very contemptible thing, buddy!"
"It's a lot of money." Anderson was a little bit reluctant, this is an opportunity to make money.
Wang Bo really can't do such a shameless thing, so he is destined not to be an excellent businessman.
Both the telephone and the power grid were abolished, and Sunset Town suddenly returned to the primitive era. He couldn't notify everyone to come and get the candles, so he had to drive people door-to-door to deliver them.
As the car drove out, the outside of the Huoyanshan Bar suddenly turned red. In the wind and rain, a large group of flames rose into the sky and fluttered with the wind. This scene was extremely shocking.
"A call?" Wang Bo was overjoyed, but he quickly realized that other places were still dark. It should be that the bar has a backup generator, which will generate electricity by itself.
Several lights came on one after another, among which the lights of the community hospital were the brightest, and all hospitals had backup generators, which was normal.
Wang Bo remembered that the castle also had a generator. Before he came, the castle used the generator to generate electricity, until he spent a lot of money to pull the line there.
However, the castle was dark and there were no lights on, which made him a little worried.
He wanted to open the sand table to see the situation, but the car had already arrived in the residential area and started to work.
Braving the rain, a group of people each carried a box of candles and knocked on the door. When Wang Bo opened the door, a woman with a child in her arms asked, "Mayor, what's the matter?"
He took out a thick candle and said with a smile, "I'm not the mayor, I'm Santa Claus, and I'll come early to deliver Christmas presents to everyone."
The woman was pleasantly surprised when she saw Lazhu: "My God, candles, are there any candles in this town?"
The child in her arms said childishly: "It's not Christmas yet, there's still a long time, you're not Santa Claus."
Wang Bo smiled and said, "Of course I am. Today, Christmas gifts will be delivered from New Zealand. Next month, I will go to Europe and the United States to deliver gifts."
The appearance of candles brought light to the townspeople. The appearance of light at this time is very important to the townspeople who are in trouble.
But many people didn't need candles, and some families went to the Huoyanshan bar. Soon every floor of the bar was overcrowded, and the deafening music rang again.
When Wang Bo passed by, he went in and took a look. He felt that the atmosphere in the bar was unprecedentedly warm. Everyone was toasting and drinking heavily. There were flickering figures on the dance floor, and some people were twisting their bodies crazily.
The past seventy hours have been too depressing, everyone can finally vent, and of course vent wildly.
Wang Bo did not stay. He felt that it would be better to distribute candles. The townspeople expressed their sincere thanks, and their sense of surprise was not easy to experience before.
In the end, he left a small box of magic candles and fireworks candles, and then drove back to the castle in a hurry.
It was still dark in the castle, Wang Bo jumped out of the car, and the rain-soaked man rushed up excitedly, roaring and throwing himself on him.
Excited to see it, Wang Bo was relieved that the castle was fine, otherwise it wouldn't be so happy.
Sure enough, Eva appeared later, gave him a warm hug, and said with a joyful smile, "My God, dear, you're finally back!"
Big Fatty and Erpang also ran over to join him, and then left quickly, with a very disgusted expression on Fatty's face.
Wang Bo didn't know whether to laugh or cry, these two brats are really fussy!
He knew that his body smelled very bad. After all, he hadn't been able to take a bath in the past seventy hours, and he felt as if he was rotten in the wind and rain.
