A city was an existence highly dependent on external energy supplies.
Once those supplies were cut off, it would be like a tree losing its roots. No matter how tall and mighty it looked, it would soon wither and die.
The water and power being cut off was only the beginning.
Soon, you would find sewage flowing through the streets, with unbearable garbage and stench everywhere.
Food and clean drinking water would become the biggest problems. After defecating, the lack of toilet paper would also put you in a difficult situation, forcing you to use substitutes.
Unfortunately.
You would not be the only one using those substitutes, so they would soon be completely used up.
You would become a human dung beetle.
That was also why foreigners snatched up toilet paper whenever disaster struck.
Oh, right.
The streets outside were filled with danger.
So you would not dare run around while taking a dump.
Toilets with their water already cut off, septic tanks in residential communities that no one came to pump anymore... They would all become full, and you would discover that your surroundings were worse than the public toilets of the peaceful era.

In a filthy environment, even a small wound could become infected and fester.
Unclean food could also give you diarrhea.
Besides that.
