Having once again missed his "goal" of sleeping until 9 a.m., Liu Kai lay in bed, filled with helpless rage.
But he clearly remembered that he had changed the default power supply to the geothermal generator two days ago.
Even if there is an external power supply, there will be no switch-on noise.
Frustrated, Liu Kai went down to the fourth equipment floor and discovered that the manual power switch mechanism was broken due to years of disrepair.
The power supply has been taken over by a stupid computer (actually just a circuit board).
It will only rigidly execute the command "use external electricity when there is external electricity, use geothermal energy when there is no external electricity".
They can't even fix it.
Moreover, the cables extending from the villa were buried outside the bunker, making them impossible to cut.
The only solution is to go to the villa and pull the power!
In order to get a good night's sleep in the future, Liu Kai had no choice but to go out, even though he didn't want to.
Wrap yourself up in a cold-weather suit, goggles, gloves, and face mask.
Upon arriving at the first floor, we checked the observation hole provided in the large steel door to confirm that there were no abnormalities in the passage.
Only then were the scrambled combination locks put back in their proper places from the inside.
Rotate the large disc to slowly retract the pins on all four sides of the steel door.
As the large iron gate opened, a biting cold wind rushed into the bunker.
Even Liu Kai, who was fully protected, couldn't help but shudder.
The thermometer shows that the outside temperature is -55.3 degrees Celsius!
Although the temperature hasn't reached its lowest point yet, a thin layer of frost has already covered the outside of the iron gate and the iron stairs of the passageway.
Pull out the latch and push aside the disguised floor of the villa's storage room.
Liu Kai saw that the outside of the first floor of the villa was completely covered by snow, and not a single ray of light could get in.
Only the second floor, which was not yet completely submerged, allowed a sliver of sunlight to filter through, making the entire villa appear eerie.
I found the electrical control box in the living room and promptly turned off the power!
With another faint "click" coming from the storage room, the power supply between the bunker and the villa was completely cut off.
Just as Liu Kai was about to return to the bunker, a loud "clang" suddenly came from the second floor!
It sounded like some kind of porcelain piece had fallen to the ground.
"A thief has broken in?!"
Liu Kai was startled and his heart tightened.
Instinctively, he dodged around the corner, took out a bulletproof vest and helmet from his storage space, and fastened them.
The most powerful Type 09 shotgun was taken out of the space.
Only then did he emerge from the corner and aim at the staircase leading to the second floor!
"Who's there?!"
This thing is said to be equal for all living beings; one shot and even a Tyrannosaurus Rex would die.
It's clear that Liu Kai is extremely nervous right now.
However, the sound echoed in the empty villa, and no one responded.
The stalemate continued for a long time, but there was no further movement from upstairs.
Mustering my courage, I slowly made my way up to the second floor.
Using the dim light, Liu Kai indeed saw a porcelain vase that had fallen from the display stand and shattered into pieces.
Next to the porcelain vase lay a gray and white kitten.
The white cat's limbs were stiff, as if it had been frozen unconscious.
Although he was still breathing, he was exhaling more than he was inhaling, and looked like he was about to die.
After confirming that the bulletproof glass windows on all four sides of the second floor were completely sealed, Liu Kai breathed a sigh of relief.
It looks like no one came in, and the cat must have squeezed in through the narrow exhaust pipe.
what to do?
You already have a dog, are you going to get a cat too?
But seeing the kitten convulsing from the cold, Liu Kai's heart softened again.
He tucked the frozen cat into his winter coat and muttered to himself, "From now on, I'll call you Little White."
...
Back in the underground fortress, Liu Kai was once again embarrassed.
Because Xiaobai is a black tabby cat.
Although its fur is entirely black, stripes of varying shades can still be seen.
It looked white just now because it was covered in frost and icicles.
Xiaobai had already woken up from her coma.
It politely meowed at Liu Kai several times before happily devouring its sausage, completely ignoring the curious little black dog beside it.
After receiving calls for about ten minutes, the upper right corner of the phone switched to a 3G signal.
Various messages followed.
Liu Kai recalled the events of his previous life, his expression slightly somber.
Opening the "Lishiquyuan" owners' group, it was indeed in complete chaos.
It wasn't just because of a shortage of supplies, but because people were dying.
The residents of the community are all very busy, so the task of taking care of the children often falls to the children's grandparents.
When the cold wave arrived, many homeowners had already left home, leaving only the elderly and children behind.
The already unbearably low temperatures were exacerbated by the power outage...
Many elderly people and newborns with weakened immune systems did not survive this despairing, cold night.
Someone held their stiff grandson in their arms and cried out in despair, pleading in the residents' group that a doctor could lend a helping hand.
A child was sobbing uncontrollably beside his grandfather's pale body, pleading with the uncles and aunts in the group chat for help in contacting his parents.
Even worse, both the elderly and children died.
They held each other tightly in their dying moments, hoping for a miracle, but in the end, only two corpses remained in the house, unknown to anyone...
In addition, many who survived contracted severe colds.
He sent a message in the group, saying he was willing to give away all his wealth just to get a few cold medicine pills.
The microcosm of life and death in a small homeowners' group is heartbreaking.
Many people had just heated and recharged their phones, hoping to check the situation outside and the progress of the rescue efforts.
But what we saw was a scene of utter devastation.
Some people sympathized and shed tears, expressing their willingness to lend a helping hand: to adopt those orphans who have no adults at home.
