On the tenth day of the apocalypse, Su Keke was forcibly driven out of her home by her adoptive parents and sister. The reason was to reduce one person's consumption of supplies, even though Su...
There will be a total power outage tomorrow, and the supplies in Grandma Qiao's refrigerator will soon go bad without a generator to power it.
The same goes for Aunt Lu and Sister Shi Huan's family.
Su Keke would not let the supplies that seven people had worked so hard to carry back last night go to waste no matter what.
There are two human-powered generators in my own space, the kind that you pedal with your feet like riding a bicycle.
One person pedaling for two hours can generate electricity for five hours. This kind of generator is a bit laborious, so if you want to generate electricity for a long time, you need several people to take turns pedaling.
In addition to Su Keke's own family, there are three other households on the 20th floor, so these two human-powered generators are not enough.
We still have to go out and find diesel. The apocalypse has just begun and many supplies have not been destroyed. Now is a good time to go out and stock up on supplies.
After having dinner at Grandma Qiao's house, Su Keke found an excuse to hurry back.
It was raining heavily outside and the road was flooded. The car couldn't be driven, so how to get to the gas station was a big problem.
Su Keke was feeling worried, and when she raised her hand she suddenly discovered that there was a faint light flashing on the palm of her right hand.
"Why did this capsule appear again?"
Su Keke stared at her palm, and the small capsule that the old lady gave her appeared in her palm again.
"Can you take me out?" Su Keke asked curiously.
Unexpectedly, just as she finished asking this question, the capsule in her hand appeared in the living room. It looked exactly the same as the capsule in the space, except that it was much smaller in size.
"Is this... so magical? This capsule can freely change its volume according to the size of the outside environment!"
Su Keke's shock was beyond words. She wanted to know if the small villa was inside the capsule.
When she pressed her hand, a door immediately opened in the capsule in the living room. Su Keke's guess was correct, there really was the small villa inside.
The transparent display on the living room wall showed that the accumulated time had been reduced by two minutes, which meant that the capsule house had been out of space for two minutes.
"Excuse me, would you like to turn on the airplane mode?" A mechanical voice came from the transparent display on the wall.
Su Keke was so scared that she jumped on the spot, "Ah? Can this capsule house fly?" Su Keke stared at the screen on the wall and asked such an unworldly question.
"Can!"
"Do you want to turn on airplane mode?" the mechanical voice continued to ask.
"Put on airplane mode. Can you take me to a gas station?"
Su Keke sat on the sofa in the living room, looking at the transparent display with interest and asked.
"Can!"
After hearing the affirmative answer, Su Keke became eager to try it.
"Capsule! Turn on flight mode immediately and take me to the nearest gas station." Su Keke said very seriously.
"OK!"
As the mechanical sound fell, the 120-inch TV in front of Su Keke suddenly turned on by itself and instantly turned into a huge high-definition camera.
Su Keke could see everything clearly in the living room outside while sitting on the sofa in the capsule house.
When taking off, the actual size of the capsule house was reduced a lot because it had to fly out of the window on the 20th floor. However, Su Keke inside didn't feel any of this.
This is the magical part: even if the outer capsule becomes as small as a sesame seed, the space inside remains the same size.
As the window slowly opened, Su Keke's capsule house was like a mini spaceship and flew out in a flash!
"Wow..." Through the TV screen, Su Keke clearly saw that the capsule house had flown out of the Changhong Community and was now flying towards the Xinxin gas station, which was 50 kilometers away.
It was past 8 o'clock in the evening, and the lights of Lingcheng were still on under the rain. Su Keke stared at the stars on the big screen, lamenting that from tomorrow on, the night would be plunged into darkness.
Ding ding! Ding ding ding! The message notification sounds on Su Keke's phone rang one after another.
He is both a glutton and a playful person: "Everyone come and see, I took a picture of aliens coming to Earth."
In the community owners’ group, someone posted a very blurry photo.
The spirited young man: "What are you sending? It's just a balloon floating in the sky. What's the big deal?"
Green-handed but playful: "It's raining so hard, why don't you fly a balloon for me? This is clearly an alien spaceship."
Psychic young man: "This guy must be hallucinating because of hunger! Hahahaha! Another crazy person in our neighborhood!"
Mask Sister: "It looks to me like a plastic bag being blown into the sky by the wind."
Hong Hong Huo Huo: "Yes, yes! That's what I was going to say! It's a big plastic bag!"
Cute girl at home: "Mask sister, do you give away instant noodles when I buy a mask?"
Mask Lady: "No more! It's all gone! Now I don't even have enough for myself!"
Su Keke took a look at the photos posted in the group and almost dropped her jaw. Her capsule house was photographed the first time it came out of space?
"My luck is so bad. I guess I can't go out so early in the future!" Su Keke sighed.
But if you look closely at this photo, people who don’t know what it is won’t be able to tell what it is at all. It’s too blurry and from a distance it really looks like a balloon.
"Hahaha! Hahaha!!" Su Keke couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"We have arrived at the destination. Would you like to land here?" The dull mechanical voice sounded again, and Su Keke realized that they had arrived at the gas station.
"I didn't expect it to be so fast!" Su Keke looked around. All the stores were closed, there were no street lights, and even the gas station was pitch black.
"Don't they have anyone on duty at the gas station?" Su Keke was a little puzzled.
Since there was no one there, Su Keke just parked the capsule house in front of the gas station.
She was fully armed, with long boots, raincoat, rain pants, hat and mask. Even if she met an acquaintance like this, no one would recognize her as Su Keke.
After coming out, Su Keke quickly put the conspicuous capsule house into the space, and then took out the off-road vehicle inside and filled it with gas.
If she wanted to bring back more gasoline and diesel, she had to find some large-capacity metal oil drums. Su Keke searched the gas station for a long time with a flashlight and finally found five 20-liter small oil drums in a room.
The oil barrels at the gas station are still too small. After Su Keke filled the five oil barrels with gasoline and put them into the space, he started thinking about where to get a few larger-capacity oil barrels?
"I know where it is!" Su Keke's eyes lit up. Su Jianming has it!
Su Keke remembered that Su Jianming had two hardware stores on this street. Both hardware stores sold large metal oil drums that held 200 liters each.
Su Keke planned to walk over such a short distance. Anyway, she had a raincoat, rain pants and long boots, so it should be no problem to walk a few steps.
The wind is not very strong now, but the heavy rain is still falling. The water on the street is above Su Keke's ankles. The water here is lower than in Changhong Community where Su Keke lives.
Su Keke walked through the puddles and stopped in front of a "Su Ji Hardware Chain" store.
