Chapter 44 Internet and Power Outages



"If nothing unexpected happens, the power should have been cut off as well." Jiang Qingwan's words made matters worse.

A long silence followed.

For surfing enthusiasts, losing the internet is like a fish out of water.

This also means that everyone has lost the means to share information.

The world has been divided into small squares by a massive disaster. To communicate with the outside world, one must set out on a journey and face unknown risks.

From then on, everyone had to guard their own little plot of land.

“Yes. This is indeed hard to accept.” Jiang Qingwan broke the silence.

"Strive to become stronger!" Gu Ningyue's passion as a comic artist awakens, and she is full of fighting spirit.

"Yes. First, take care of yourself! Survive!" the security guard remarked.

"Come on, everyone!" Wang Chengcheng encouraged, inspired by the positive atmosphere.

"Thank you for sharing so generously!" Chen Xiaoran was once again grateful that fate had brought her together with the expert.

"I don't seem to be so unlucky after all, hehe." The unlucky guy scratched the back of his head sheepishly.

"Yes! I need to become stronger! I can't contact the rich woman anymore." Xia Mang placed her hands on her chest, making a heart shape with her hands, then separated them, looking heartbroken.

The driver also spoke up: "The purpose of this journey is—to get home safely."

The parking barriers in the residential area had been damaged in a previous collision.

It is impossible to determine whether anyone else entered the community this time.

"This railing is broken, and I don't know if there are any outsiders here." The security guard keenly remembered his duty.

"Then everyone be careful. I'll drive a little further away and find a secluded spot where we'll distribute the supplies," the driver suggested.

“Okay.” Jiang Qingwan agreed, and everyone else agreed as well.

The car was parked at the back of the innermost building.

The driver opened the trunk, and everyone began sorting the supplies in unison.

There were no instances of deliberate over-taking or looting that could lead to disputes.

Wang Chengcheng rummaged through her belongings and picked out a bag of peanuts with crumpled packaging, which she handed to the security guard.

"I really have to thank you all for this trip to collect supplies. They all gave us some, and it would seem like I would be so inconsiderate not to," Wang Chengcheng explained.

"This is the first time Wang Chengcheng has been so generous. Before, he was like a greedy pig, only taking in and never giving out," Xia Mang exclaimed in amazement.

"Hey. How dare you talk like that?" Wang Chengcheng pretended to be angry and threw a few punches in the air.

Wang Chengcheng rummaged through the supplies in her bag and pulled out a beautifully packaged bag of cookies.

He jogged over to Jiang Qingwan on the other side of the car and handed her the cookies with both hands.

He bowed and thanked them, saying, "Boss, thank you so much for your help along the way. You are the pride of us fire-type ability users!"

Jiang Qingwan looked at the food in Wang Chengcheng's hand, and saw that it represented the difference between herself and the security guard, and smiled.

"Forget it. Thank you, but I won't accept it. You didn't cause any trouble, and you all tried your best to save yourselves. We're all in this together, so there's no reason for anyone to thank anyone else. I just happened to be a little stronger."

"Hey, that's right! We should thank you too." The others were also reminded by Wang Chengcheng's actions and prepared to offer their thanks with supplies.

Full of sincerity.

“No, you don’t need any of this. Even in the apocalypse, there should still be some humanity. Although you are not strong enough, you are all of good character. If I take all these things, what kind of person would I be?” Jiang Qingwan refused them one by one.

“Yes, don’t give it to Sister Jiang. Go home. I already got a free meal from Sister Jiang yesterday, and she didn’t ask anything of me,” Gu Ningyue said, sharing her experience.

"Thank you very much then," Chen Xiaoran said earnestly.

The same is true for others.

"I hope you will continue to do the same in the future, contributing your modest efforts to good people and eradicating bad people completely." Jiang Qingwan conveyed her style of conduct.

Yes, yes.

"Let's go then." Jiang Qingwan patted Gu Ningyue's shoulder, gesturing for her to take the supplies home.

Jiang Qingwan herself arrived empty-handed.

Gu Ningyue looked at Jiang Qingwan, whose hands were empty, and then at her own arms, which were red from being weighed down by the supplies she had just picked up.

"Hey, I can turn a shopping cart into something amazing!" Gu Ningyue unleashed her metal superpower.

The metal shopping cart takes shape instantly, is sturdy, and beautiful.

Once the supplies were loaded into the shopping cart, Gu Ningyue could drag it along.

"Wow. Not bad. You've learned to use your metal ability effectively." Jiang Qingwan turned around and praised him after hearing the sound of a heavy object landing on the metal base.

"I'm waiting for you to become a master weapon refiner so you can make me an awesome weapon. I've already reserved it." Jiang Qingwan was very satisfied.

"Absolutely! When the time comes, the metal I forge with my metal-based superpower will be indestructible!" Gu Ningyue raised her small face, her eyes sparkling with boundless imagination for the future.

"Let's come to my house first," Jiang Qingwan suggested.

“What a coincidence! That’s exactly what I was thinking too.” Gu Ningyue had no objection.

The black security door opened.

The interior remained exactly as it was before we left.

Jiang Qingwan collapsed onto the sofa, lounging like Ge You, and spoke lazily.

"Take all the supplies you have, and I'll give you some more. I collected all the supplies on the third floor without even looking at what they were."

Upon hearing this, Gu Ningyue looked at her overflowing shopping cart and said shyly, "I'm so sorry. This cart is already full of supplies, and I haven't been able to help much."

Jiang Qingwan quickly scanned the supplies she had just collected using her divine sense.

The third floor is mostly filled with daily necessities, so it seems that the first and second floors are the food section.

No wonder the third floor seemed deserted; there were goods on every shelf, high or low.

Jiang Qingwan said generously, "I was worried you'd think it wasn't enough. Because you can't see what supplies I've put into my space."

Jiang Qingwan released a large amount of supplies directly from the space.

Fast food that can be stored for a long time, underwear, sanitary napkins, family planning products, and large amounts of electrolyte water.

"Don't be so polite. There's no water, electricity, or internet here, so I don't feel comfortable staying here. I'm about to leave," Jiang Qingwan said.

Gu Ningyue held the condom in her hand, and upon hearing this, her already dazed figure became even more dazed.

After a long while, Gu Ningyue turned her head, her eyes filled with hope.

She asked pleadingly, "Oh. Are you leaving? What will happen to me? Can you take me with you?"

"I plan to leave alone," Jiang Qingwan said after a moment's hesitation.

"Are you really not going to reconsider? I'm very obedient. Besides, I'm a metal-type ability user, so I'll definitely train my abilities well and make you a handy weapon as soon as possible." Gu Ningyue hurriedly tried to prove her worth.

Gu Ningyue noticed that Jiang Qingwan hadn't given in yet.

He added, "With me here, you'll have a different weapon every day."

Jiang Qingwan couldn't help but laugh: "Then I'll really become a social butterfly."

Gu Ningyue threw the deformed condom box she was holding onto the ground.

He took two steps at a time and sat down next to Jiang Qingwan, grabbed her arm and shook it, using his coquettish charm.

"How about it, sister? Please take me with you. I don't eat much either."
