Looking at the city, as dark as ink...
At this moment, Zhang Chen finally understood that the phrase "you couldn't see your hand in front of your face" wasn't an exaggeration, but a literal description!
In the past, even if the lights in residential areas were turned off.
The streetlights would still reflect some light into the sky.
Giving people the illusion that the night wasn't entirely black!
Even walking on a dimly lit path, one could vaguely see the road.
It wasn't until all the lights were completely extinguished that.
Zhang Chen realized how truly terrifying the night could be!
His hand was about half a meter away from his eyes.
Yet, he couldn't see anything at all!
The electric curtains and the refrigerator had all stopped working.
Because of the power outage, the water pump had also ceased operation.
Not a single drop of water could flow from the faucet.
Awooo~~
Gurgle~~
Ughh~~
The roars of the zombies in this darkness sounded exceptionally loud and piercing!
Zhang Chen took out a powerful flashlight from his storage space.
He placed it on the table and shone the bright beam towards the ceiling!
The entire room then lit up.
This method was a little trick Zhang Chen had stumbled upon when he was young.
A flashlight shone directly at a spot would indeed be very bright, but other areas not illuminated would be very dark.
This way, the light was evenly distributed, and the illumination was gentler!
Fortunately, Zhang Chen had cooked the frozen beef beforehand.
Now, he didn't need to cook, he could just take it out and eat steaming hot food!
After Zhang Chen finished his pan-fried beef, he opened the chat channel.
At this time, the channel was filled with survivors discussing the power outage.
Without electricity, everyone's sense of insecurity had intensified!
Thus, they urgently needed to alleviate this tense emotion through conversation.
The chat channel was more lively than ever today! kanδん
"Holy crap, it's a power outage over here, is it out for you guys too?"
"We're all in the same area chat channel, we're not far from each other, so it must be out for everyone!"
"I'm on the rooftop, and what I see is that the entire city has lost power. Everything within sight is pitch black!"
"Holy crap, I live on the 45th floor. I cleared out the zombies in the elevator these past few days and deliberately lured the zombies in the hallway into the safety passage! Now I'm completely screwed!"
"I'm even worse off, I'm in a mall. There are no windows around me, and I relied entirely on the indoor lighting! Now that the power is out, even if it were daytime, it would be pitch black in here!"
"This... this is too much of a rip-off. I just traded two bowls of instant noodles in the auction channel, and I was going to have a hot bowl of noodles... Now I can only chew them dry..."
"Envious that you still have food, I've been hungry for two days. I'm in a bookstore, and I used to read novels to distract myself from hunger. Now I'm like a blind person, and my hearing has gotten better! I can hear my stomach rumbling!"
"It's too dark, I'm so scared... Can everyone chat with me for the night? I don't even dare to sleep!"
"Great, now even if the zombies rush in, I won't know where they are. At least I won't be scared when I die..."
"Hey, don't scare me, okay? I've locked my door, zombies shouldn't be able to get in, right! kΑnshu伍.ξà"
"Guan Xin, where are you? Private message me immediately if you see this!"
"Zheng Hao: Welcome everyone to the survivor camp. We currently have emergency lighting equipment, fully armed combat teams, and food and water supplies at the stadium!"
Zheng Hao was still seizing the opportunity to promote his camp.
Emergency lighting equipment?
Seeing this phrase, Zhang Chen suddenly remembered that he had a diesel generator in his storage space!
This thing, along with many barrels of gasoline and diesel, was what Zheng Hao had traded with him that afternoon.
In the event of a power outage, the value of a diesel generator was second only to food and water!
To have traded two of them so easily from Zhang Chen.
Zheng Hao must have been regretting it immensely by now.
The survivors' pursuit of light was now second only to food and water!
The price of generators and various energy sources naturally soared!
This transaction was a huge profit for Zhang Chen!
After eating, Zhang Chen opened the trading channel and successfully completed the customer orders that Zhao Xiyue had introduced during the day.
These people were not trying to play any tricks.
The items traded were the same as what Zhao Xiyue had provided!
Ding! Congratulations on obtaining: [Energy Crystal Core] *10, [Ice Condensing Flower] *5, [Bucket of Instant Noodles] *5, [Bloodstained Key] *10, [Carbonated Hard Candy] *5, [Skill: Basic Mechanical Repair], [Skill: Advanced Electrician], [Basic Physique Potion] *1, [Steel] *100!
Zhang Chen used the two skill books.
In an instant, a vast amount of knowledge about mechanical repair and strong and weak current knowledge flooded his mind!
This made Zhang Chen feel that his thinking had become much more agile.
Looking at this world again, he felt it becoming increasingly clear!
Zhang Chen, holding the powerful flashlight, went to the basement and connected the diesel-filled generator to the building's electrical grid.
Start!
Rumble...
As the diesel generator started, the lights in the hallway of Building No. 8 flickered a few times.
Then, they suddenly lit up brightly!
Done!
The entire Building No. 8 was brightly illuminated, shining like a beacon in the darkness!
"Holy crap, holy holy holy, guess what I saw?"
"It's pitch black, what can you possibly see?"
"No, I saw a room not far away with its lights on, shining brightly!"
"Holy crap, didn't the whole city have a blackout? How come someone still has power?"
"I saw it too... but it's too dark all around, I can't tell where it is at all... The survivors living there are just too fortunate!"
"Can you tell which location it is?"
"Are you kidding me? It's dark everywhere, I can't even distinguish north from south right now. I can only see the light, there are no reference points, I have no idea where this is!"
"Back when we had electricity, we didn't dare to turn on the lights for fear of exposure. Now that it's pitch black, we can turn on the lights without fear, but unfortunately, I have no electricity..."
"...I used a telescope to look... On the table of this big shot, there's a dinner plate, and it looks like they just finished eating meat!"
"And there's a bottle of carbonated drink next to it... And a soft, comfortable big bed... Holy crap, I'm jealous!"
"Eating meat in the apocalypse? Drinking beverages? Sleeping in a big bed? This is simply a life fit for gods!"
"So we're here to survive, and they're here to enjoy themselves!"
"I don't crave a big bed or drinks, not even meat, just being able to eat my fill would be enough for me!"
"Hey big shots, does anyone have bedding? I don't even dare to dream of a mattress. It's too cold at night, sleeping on the concrete floor is unbearable!"
"To be honest, I've started drinking my own urine! The color is the same as the big shot's carbonated drink!"
"The big shot with electricity, please private message this sister, there's a surprise!"
"The person upstairs is too naive. Now that they have electricity, food, and a bed, it's like having 100 billion in peacetime! Do they really lack women?"
"Big shot, if you like men... I can also..."
"Holy crap, the person upstairs is disgusting, can people have some dignity?"
"It's easy to talk when you're not in my shoes. Go hungry and thirsty for three days, and sleep on the concrete floor for three days, then come talk to me about dignity!"
