Chapter 283 Chapter 283 Hot
The power of the state apparatus cannot be underestimated.
Even though the disaster came unexpectedly and many people had lost their minds, the situation gradually stabilized.
——The army entered the city, and special groups such as the militia and veterans responded to the government’s call in droves.
With the concerted efforts of everyone, most of the criminals who were causing chaos were arrested or even shot dead.
The sound of gunfire continued in the city. The huge and unique sound startled countless people who were looking out from their balconies.
The government's decisiveness and toughness are beyond imagination.
Faced with the threat of death, the person whose brain was hot and swollen finally came to his senses and thought calmly and rationally about his actions or the ideas he was about to put into action.
It's terrible.
Even they themselves couldn't understand why they were so angry that they tried to kill someone over some annoying trivial matters just a few minutes ago.
Are they crazy?
Or is this world crazy?
Of course, not everyone is willing to give up temporarily. There is still a small number of people who are determined to go all the way.
Perhaps it was because he had already made an irreparable mistake, or perhaps it was because everything was the result of careful consideration, impulsive but without regret.
Before the emergence of the second sun led to social chaos, they had imagined the worst possible outcome many times in their minds and suppressed their bloody desires countless times.
The Black Sun was just a fuse for them.
Wang Chunlan is one of them
After torturing the man who assaulted her to death, she quickly left the scene and headed for her next destination.
The highly corrosive sulfuric acid melted the middle-aged male boss's face, leaving behind large dark red carbonized burn marks.
The soldiers who came to inquire about the case pointed their guns at the criminals, but she just stood there and laughed so hard that tears came out.
"So you only have one face. I thought you were so thick-skinned."
"It seems that's all."
The man who was in so much pain that he wanted to roll on the ground was filled with regret when he heard her wild and triumphant laughter.
If I had known earlier...
It's a pity that the world didn't know earlier...
The woman was forcibly taken away by the soldiers, and the man was rushed to the hospital for treatment.
The moment their figures crossed, the face that was covered with pimples due to severe insomnia but not beautiful at all broke out into a hearty laugh.
"You're done. You're completely done."
"Hahaha……"
The laughter filled with joy and madness was particularly harsh and creepy in the quiet neighborhood.
Similar scenes are happening all over the country.
Of course, none of this has anything to do with the two residents of Room 101, Building 1 of the cement factory.
He Junxia has very simple social relationships, with no enemies and no relatives.
As for Zhang Le, although he may have offended a few people during the time he was hanging out with his bad friends, they were all minor conflicts, not deep hatred.
Even if there are still people holding grudges and wanting revenge, nearly a year has passed, and that little conflict may not be a priority in the other party's mind.
Zhang Le touched his stomach, put down his phone and stood up: "Gengzi, what are we having for dinner?" He had already digested the dumplings.
He Junxia: "Braised eggplant, bitter melon scrambled eggs, twice-cooked pork, cut up the watermelon in the refrigerator."
He wasn't sure if there would be power outages in the future, but it would always be a good idea to use up the ingredients that were not suitable for long-term storage.
Zhang Le: "Okay, I'll wash the dishes later."
He Junxia took out the necessary ingredients from the refrigerator and went to the kitchen to work. Zhang Le quickly cut a small watermelon that was chilled to the perfect temperature with a fruit knife.
“The watermelon is so sweet.”
"I put your half in the refrigerator."
Zhang Le held half a small watermelon and ate it happily. Ever since he knew that the government had begun to control the external situation, he felt relieved and put down the burden in his heart.
Believe in the country and believe in the government!
The cool, sweet juice flowed through his mouth and esophagus, sweeping away a lot of heat. Zhang Le squinted his eyes in enjoyment - summer, air conditioning, mobile phones and chilled watermelon equal joy and happiness.
"Click"
He Junxia walked out of the kitchen with a smell of chili peppers, and was met with pitch darkness.
"The power outage?"
Zhang Le chewed and swallowed the watermelon in his mouth, then pressed the light bulb in the living room several times suspiciously.
"No, the power is out."
He Junxia withdrew his gaze. Outside the window, there was only the black light twisting like tentacles and the frightened voices of other people.
Zhang Le frantically picked up his phone and flipped through it. "Hey, I don't know what happened, but the power is out in our area. It's so annoying."
After being developed and utilized, electricity has become the most indispensable thing in human daily life, especially in the hot summer.
Mobile phones, fans, air conditioners, rice cookers...
Which one doesn't require electricity?
Looking at the phone with only 10% battery, Zhang Le felt extremely regretful. He was so stupid that he was busy playing with his phone and didn't realize how to charge it.
He Junxia: "Let's eat first."
Although the power outage came out of nowhere, he had already prepared most of the meal, except for the twice-cooked pork.
Zhang Le scowled. "Gengzi, I remember you bought a row of candles last time. Where did you put them? Let me light one."
What an unlucky day.
He Junxia: "In the small box on top of the refrigerator."
Zhang Le took out a white candle from the cardboard box and lit it. The dim candlelight barely illuminated the coffee table.
However, the power was out, and neither of them was in the mood to chat. They just picked up their food and ate in silence, and dinner was over in a short while.
Zhang Le cleaned the coffee table and washed the dishes, then wiped the glass coffee table clean with a rag. This was his grandmother's habit.
After washing the dishes, thinking that he couldn’t play with his phone, Zhang Le went to the bathroom to take out the clothes from the washing machine and hang them up.
He used to dislike doing these chores, and his grandparents wouldn't let him do them. But after both grandparents died, he was forced to live alone, and gradually got used to it.
For example, if the clothes in the washing machine are not taken out in time after washing, dense mold spots will grow on the clothes after a few days, and they cannot be washed off no matter how hard you wash.
Don’t ask, the answer is that you have suffered losses in the past.
There's also the squat toilet in the bathroom, the floors in the living room and bedroom, and the dusty lockers...
He is actually a very lazy person.
Before his good brother Geng Qi came, in order to reduce housework, he hardly ever cooked and always ate fast food outside.
Before living alone, Zhang Le had never imagined that there would be so many chores to do at home. If he slacked off for a few days, the room would become noticeably dirty and messy.
This small two-bedroom, one-living room house is where he lived since he was a child. Every item and every tile is filled with beautiful memories.
Zhang Le was reluctant to see his beautiful memories turned into a dirty and messy pigsty, so he learned to clean and keep it hygienic - if Geng Qi was not a clean person, he would never let anyone stay there.
After working for a while, including briefly mopping the living room, Zhang Le sat on the sofa to rest and subconsciously picked up his mobile phone.
The 5% battery reminder is particularly conspicuous.
He collapsed on the sofa and wailed, "I'm convinced! When will the call come? Can you give me a definite answer?"
He Junxia picked up the wisher's phone and turned it on. This old smartphone was a second-hand phone, and its performance was far from meeting the needs, and it ran very slowly.
After waiting for a long time, he finally clicked on the social media software and searched for topics in the same city to check the situation.
The sudden city-wide power outage indeed became a hot topic, and the topic was full of the wailing of residents in the same city.
It’s okay if the air conditioner is on. The cold air in the room won’t dissipate for a while, and the indoor temperature is relatively stable.
Those who rely solely on fans to cool down will be in trouble.
After the fan blades stopped turning, the ubiquitous heat and humidity became apparent, and people were sweating profusely in just a few minutes.
The sticky skin adheres tightly to the clothes, blocking the skin's few heat dissipation channels, and the brain gradually loses the ability to think.
Hot, hot, too hot
The sticky and wet touch is like being tightly wrapped by gusts of hot air, making the cold water shower in the bathroom the favorite of humans at this moment.
Zhang Le and He Junxia also took a cold shower.
Crystal clear water droplets hung on the short buzz cut, giving people an incomparable sense of comfort as the coldness in the living room had not yet dissipated.
Zhang Le wiped his hair with a towel hastily: "I'm going to bed first. If the electricity comes on, call me."
Although it was only six o'clock in the afternoon, he could neither play with his phone or watch videos, nor did he have any other entertainment options.
Instead of jumping around and making yourself overheated, it is better to lie in bed and sleep, which can save some energy.
He Junxia nodded slightly.
Not long after Zhang Le left the living room, he returned to the bedroom and was surprised to find that the shell of the black divine beast egg on the windowsill suddenly had several special golden lines.
It sparkles in pieces, as if inlaid with gold flakes. At first glance, it appears to be floating with light golden glow. The interweaving and fusion of black and gold makes it even more noble and mysterious.
It is indeed a divine beast egg.
He Junxia sighed and stood in front of the window, staring at the little black egg without blinking, not missing any changes.
Unexpectedly, there was a huge noise outside the door.
The switch was triggered!
