Ren Feng, holding a flashlight, cautiously walked out of the gate.
The flashlight has an outdated design.
If I remember correctly, it should be a product from around 2210.
Sixty years ago, despite Ren Feng's repeated persuasion, my grandfather resolutely bought this nuclear-powered flashlight, which was said to last for a hundred years.
There is no other reason.
The old man was worried about Yi.
At the time, Ren Feng thought such behavior was ridiculous.
Each city has two separate fusion power plants.
Even if they were extremely lucky and both fusion reactors failed simultaneously, artificial intelligence could quickly mobilize power from a neighboring city.
therefore.
He has never seen a power outage since he was born.
But now...
Looking at the pitch-black scene outside, Ren Feng took a deep breath.
Grandpa, you were right.
He instinctively reached out and pressed the emergency button next to the door.
That's the button to ask Yi for help.
He recalled that this line was powered independently.
"Click".
The sound of physical buttons rang in my ears.
But the familiar holographic image did not appear.
Ren Feng's heart sank.
Unexpectedly, even this line lost power.
Ren Feng stood bewildered at the gate, staring blankly at the faint light of the emergency lights in the distance.
What should he do?
...
Time slips away, bit by bit.
Ren Feng's sluggish brain gradually started working again.
City Central Control Center!
A name popped into his mind.
Although we don't know what happened, it wouldn't hurt to go check out the control center!
With that thought in mind, he took some stiff steps and walked towards the deserted street.
"Whoosh!"
The sound of a window opening came from the side.
"Dude!"
"You have a flashlight?!"
Ren Feng was startled by the sudden sound and his body trembled.
He quickly rotated his wrist, shining the flashlight beam in the direction from which the sound came.
"Eh eh eh!"
In the intense white light, a young man was seen clutching his eyes in pain, shouting, "Dude! I'm blind! I'm blind!"
The man had messy hair and a stubble beard, looking unkempt.
"Huh? It's you!"
Ren Feng breathed a sigh of relief and quickly turned the flashlight to the other side.
The young man's name was Zhang Zhengqing, and he was his neighbor.
An oddball.
Indeed, that is Ren Feng's impression of Zhang Zhengqing.
He rarely leaves his house; at least, in Ren Feng's memory, the last time this strange man went out was several years ago.
Daily necessities?
Naturally, the goods will be delivered to your door by robots.
As for what the other party was tinkering with at home... Ren Feng had no way of knowing.
"Dude, where are you going?"
Zhang Zhengqing rubbed his eyes, wincing, and asked loudly.
Ren Feng snapped out of his daze, hesitated for a moment, and then replied, "City Central Control Center."
Zhang Zhengqing's eyes suddenly lit up!
"Control center?!"
"Dude! Give me a ride!"
Faced with Zhang Zhengqing's request, Ren Feng agreed without hesitation.
The reason is quite simple.
Walking alone in this pitch-black city can be a little unsettling.
"Wait for me to change my clothes!"
Seeing Ren Feng nod in agreement, Zhang Zhengqing's excitement intensified, and he immediately started changing his clothes by the window!
"Hey, hey, hey?" Seeing this, Ren Feng quickly moved the flashlight beam further away. "I said, do you really need to be in such a hurry?"
As they were talking, Zhang Zhengqing had already changed his clothes.
He braced himself with both hands and flipped himself out of the window.
"Why aren't you in a hurry?"
"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"
Ren Feng: "???"
"Let's go, let's go!" Zhang Zhengqing jogged over to Ren Feng's side and gave him a hard tug. "We need to hurry, who knows when this thing will return to normal!"
Ren Feng was pulled and stumbled.
Looking at the unusually agitated Zhang Zhengqing in front of him, Ren Feng suddenly had a bad feeling: "You... seem to be looking forward to this happening?"
A glint of light flashed in Zhang Zhengqing's eyes as he nodded vigorously and said, "I've wanted to go see the Central Control Center for a long time!"
"But the gate over there is locked, I don't have permission to go in..."
"If it weren't for those guard robots, I would have broken down that door no matter what."
Ren Feng: "...???"
Is this something a normal person would say?
"Are you sure that door can be pried open?"
Zhang Zhengqing: "..."
Please don't worry about these details.
...
More than an hour later.
City Central Control Center No. 4
Looking at the completely dark building in front of him, Ren Feng's eyes revealed a hint of worry.
Sure enough, even the central control center lost power.
"What exactly happened?"
Ren Feng muttered to himself, "Logically speaking, this situation shouldn't happen..."
"Hard to say." Zhang Zhengqing's voice came from beside him. "If I'm not mistaken, it should be that Yi has malfunctioned."
"As for the cause of the malfunction..."
"We'll have to go inside and see for ourselves to know."
“But we can’t get in!” Ren Feng looked at the tightly closed gate and shook his head helplessly.
Even without the guard robots, this alloy door is not something two ordinary people could pry open.
"Hehehe..." Zhang Zhengqing looked at the motionless robot by the gate, his lips gradually curving upwards into a somewhat maniacal smile. "Who said we were going to use the main gate?"
