“Ruan Ruan, Ruan Ruan…”

Early in the morning, there was a loud knocking on the door. Jiang Ruan looked at the baby sleeping peacefully in her arms, got up and rubbed her slightly sleepy eyes.

"Mom, what's wrong?"

Jiang Ruan's voice was hoarse and her head was a little foggy, but she could tell that it was her mother outside the door.

"Oh dear, Li Ming's parents, they're in danger. The machines they were using for treatment have all stopped working and aren't responding at all. They're having trouble breathing."

Jiang's mother's voice was anxious, her heart filled with unease. She knew what it would mean if she didn't provide immediate assistance!

Li Ming's parents are in grave danger.

"Okay, Mom, I'll go check right away!"

Jiang Ruan tried to keep her voice down so that her mother could hear her without disturbing the baby.

Fortunately, she controlled her voice well, and the baby didn't wake up before she left.

As soon as she stepped out the door, her mother grabbed her, and the two hurriedly went to the room where Li Ming's parents were.

The room was stiflingly hot, with no cooling sensation whatsoever. Everyone was drenched in sweat, and the entire room felt like a sauna, making it hard to breathe.

"You're here! Come and see! It was fine just now, but suddenly it broke. What happened?" Wan Mei asked, her face full of worry and self-blame.

"Let me see..."

Two minutes later, Jiang Ruan figured out the reason.

"The power's out! No wonder you can't use it."

Jiang Ruan sighed. She hadn't expected the power outage to come so quickly. The whole city must be suffering from a lack of electricity.

Upon hearing this, Wanmei took out her phone and connected it to the charging cable, but as expected, there was no response.

Jiang's parents turned on the ceiling light, but nothing changed. Only then did they realize something was wrong.

"Is it just a short break or a long time? Why wasn't there any notification? What's going on? This is really causing delays."

Li Ming wiped the sweat from his forehead and roared angrily.

After all, he was the one who suffered the most when his parents were in trouble.

However, sending them to the hospital is clearly not a good solution. Compared to the shopping mall's various facilities and manpower, the hospital is obviously not a good place to go.

However, at this point, the outcome of the power outage is uncertain.

"Generators? We have plenty of generators. Let's use them first. It's much better than just sitting here waiting."

Zhang Yang stroked his chin and shouted something. A glimmer of hope suddenly flashed in Li Ming's despairing eyes.

After obtaining Jiang Ruan's consent, he was the first to rush down and install and use it. It only took five minutes to get everything ready.

Li Ming's parents, who had undergone re-treatment, were able to breathe steadily, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank you so much. I really didn't expect you to be so kind. I can't thank you enough. If you ever need my help in the future, just let me know. I'll do everything I can to help you."

Li Ming almost knelt down. His parents were his bottom line and taboo, and an inseparable bond.

Therefore, saving his parents was more important to him than saving himself.

"Okay, I accept your promise. I hope you will keep your word and stay true to your original aspirations."

Jiang Ruan went downstairs, turned on the internet, and used the extraordinary computer system to access the cameras scattered throughout the city to observe.

After the power outage, the supermarket, already desolate, became even more barren, with nothing but litter scattered everywhere.

The traffic lights on the streets were all turned off, and the luxury cars and trucks scattered on the streets were almost unclaimed.

The only thing worth mentioning is the constant sirens of ambulances and police cars.

Seeing how frantically they were running, Jiang Ruan understood the reason.

Since the beginning of the new century, the internet, computers, and new equipment have become an indispensable part of human life.

All these products and technologies are inseparable from one thing: electricity. They cannot fulfill their mission offline without the constraints of electricity.

As a result, many people have encountered various difficulties, such as being unable to open room door locks or being trapped in elevators and unable to escape.

Faced with these emergencies, people's first choice of response is often to immediately call the police or emergency rescue hotline.

Just then, Jiang Ruan was lost in her own thoughts and completely unaware that someone was approaching.

Suddenly, a gentle voice sounded in her ear: "What are you thinking about? You seem so lost in thought."

It turned out that Gu An had quietly walked up behind Jiang Ruan without her noticing. His hands naturally rested on her shoulders, gently kneading them as if to help her relieve stress.

"I'm thinking about where to find suitable power materials before the generator runs out of fuel. Or in other words, where to find a gas station to refuel."

Gu An paused in rubbing his shoulders, then took out his phone from his pocket and made a call.

Three minutes later, he put down the phone and looked at Jiang Ruan solemnly, "Ruan, I've taken care of the fuel issue for you. A friend of mine can get some; he'll ask you how many tons you need."

Jiang Ruan suddenly turned around, "How much? How many tons?"

Jiang Ruan stared wide-eyed at Gu An, her face full of disbelief, wondering if she had just hallucinated.

After a moment's hesitation, she couldn't help but ask again, "What? How much?"

Gu An looked at her tenderly, his eyes full of doting affection.

He gently reached out and stroked Jiang Ruan's small, straight nose, his lips curving upwards as he smiled and replied, "If we're going to prepare emergency supplies, I think we'll need about ten tons."

In this way, even if there is no power supply for an extended period of time, we don't need to worry too much.
