Chapter 69 Power Outage, Signal
Wiping the sweat from his forehead, He Rui didn't know if it was an illusion, but the temperature around him seemed to have risen.
He didn't dare to think about it too much. He took off his coat and was about to put it aside when the lights in the living room suddenly flickered rapidly.
Soon, the lights went out completely.
The room lost its light and fell into darkness.
He Rui couldn't see his hand in front of him. He raised his head and turned his head around blankly. It was as if he had lost his sight and could not see anything.
In this dark environment, listening to the strange melody of the background music, the pressure that He Rui had relieved before began to resurface.
I don't understand why the power went out before we even heard the sound of a tsunami.
He took out the flashlight he carried with him and turned it on, and the light instantly illuminated the entire living room.
I stood up with a flashlight to check the switch and found that the power was indeed out.
He Rui returned to his original position and thought about taking a look at the drone controller to see what was going on outside.
I took the controller and took a look, only to find that the screen of the controller was also black for some reason.
He quickly restarted the machine.
After restarting, the controller still has a black screen.
He Rui began to be confused about the current situation.
It’s okay if there’s a power outage at home, but why is there also a problem with the drone?
He went to the bedroom to take out the instruction manual. When passing by the protagonist, He Rui put the flashlight in the guy's hand and took out another flashlight.
He walked around with a light, but this guy stayed in his original position without any lighting tools, so the light was sometimes bright and sometimes dim. And when he suddenly turned around and saw the protagonist sitting there motionless, it felt like a ghost was sitting there, which was quite scary.
Anyway, I bought several boxes of flashlights, so I have more than enough.
It's impossible that he would abuse the protagonist so badly that he wouldn't even give him a flashlight.
Ignoring the protagonist who looked up at him because he was given a flashlight, He Rui turned around and went back into the bedroom, rummaging through the drawers and finding the instruction manual for the drone.
But it’s strange that after reading the manual twice, I still can’t figure out why the drone’s screen is black.
The controller still has some power left, and the universal restart doesn't work.
What else could be causing the black screen?
Is the signal being interfered with by something?
Thinking of the signal, He Rui's expression froze.
Cursing inwardly, he put the controller down.
He just remembered something. He remembered that drones rely on radio electromagnetic waves to transmit control signals and communication data.
The solar wind happens to interfere with radio communications.
The power outage must have been because it had stopped running.
I remember that solar wind also seems to affect power grids and power, gas, and oil pipelines.
He Rui took out his cell phone and took a look, only to find that there was no signal.
Reluctantly, he found the FM radio he had specially prepared to receive the radio.
He bought this before he knew that the Chinese government had deliberately concealed the news of the meteorite.
After all, under normal circumstances, if there is a disaster somewhere, or the country enters a wartime state of readiness.
Television and military radio stations will repeatedly broadcast the news and guide people to escape and take shelter.
He had previously wanted to listen to the news to see if the country had any arrangements after the disaster.
Of course, he no longer hopes to listen to the radio. After all, his trust in the Chinese government has completely collapsed.
He Rui turned on the radio.
A series of terrifying distorted electrical noises suddenly sounded from the radio, and it sounded like entering a horror movie.
No matter which channel or band you change to, all you can receive is this terrifying sound that makes your scalp tingle.
He Rui quickly turned off the radio, threw it aside, and returned to the living room.
I thought that there was a high probability that all electronic products would be given away for free. After all, in this situation, all electronic products are useless.
But after thinking about it carefully, he was not sure whether it was completely free.
After all, he doesn't understand the current situation.
He Rui had a wild guess: perhaps at night, when China was facing away from the sun, the power would be restored? Perhaps the drones would be able to be used as usual.
Listening to his own BGM, He Rui found that the BGM was not right. He had not learned this thing well, and he learned a new trick very nervously. He actually began to imitate the distorted electric current sound that appeared on the radio just now.
Makes the music even weirder than before.
Hearing this, he became so angry that he gritted his teeth and cut off the background music and replaced it with another song.
.....
In 2016, there was a severe rainstorm and flood. It was He Rui's second year in the army. He followed the large army to the disaster area to fight against the flood and carry out rescue work.
The military and civilians joined hands to fight the flood and worked together to rebuild their homes.
This is a slogan taught by the army.
In his eyes, helping others and doing what is right are normal things.
So, in this situation, he suddenly felt a little confused.
Can he completely ignore the life and death of others?
The passers-by downstairs that we saw from the drone before will soon meet our death.
If he could see the tsunami, he would surely see people being swept away by the waves, struggling to death until they were swallowed by the tsunami.
The introduction says that seeing dead people everywhere is the norm after the apocalypse.
He Rui was feeling depressed.
I couldn't help but think that maybe the fact that the drone couldn't be used now was actually a good thing for him, as it prevented him from seeing the tragic situation outside out of curiosity.
....
Ji Changqing was originally focusing on expanding his domain. As the volume of the domain increased, his ability also became stronger, and the speed at which he devoured matter and expanded space was gradually accelerating.
His eyes accidentally glanced at the idiot, his attention drawn to his funny expression. Seeing the guy's face full of expression, as if he was troubled by something, and his face changing from one expression to another, he curled his lips and sneered, "You look so stupid."
He Rui exploded like a firecracker, "Brother Ji, did you take the wrong medicine? You keep finding fault!"
Glancing at the other person's phone placed aside, he understood, "Are you here to tease me because you're bored and have no internet? You're so annoying!"
.....
Dozens of long and difficult minutes passed after the meteorite impact.
He Rui lay on the isolation board at the living room window, close to the street outside the community, where he could hear the outside sounds most clearly. He put one ear against it and listened carefully to the movements outside.
He could already faintly hear the commotion outside.
There were sounds of vehicles braking suddenly and violent collisions.
Noisy screaming and cursing.
And the faint sound of waves.
The sound of the waves came so fast.
Within a few breaths, the sound went from being difficult to distinguish among all the noise to being very clear, and the decibels even became louder and louder.
The roar of the raging waves was so powerful that it almost crushed everything in its path.
It seems that this place is not in the city center, but on the seaside.
