While Lin Tianyu and Chu Xiaoli were sleeping, something unacceptable happened in their neighborhood. The entire community suddenly experienced a power outage! This incident instantly caused an uproar among the residents. Everyone struggled to accept this reality, cursing the power company, the property management, and even the Community Committee was not spared from their wrath.
However, no matter how much they complained, the power outage had become a fait accompli that could not be changed. Without electricity, the temperature in their rooms dropped even lower! Many found themselves frozen like popsicles throughout the night. After all, it was only August, during a time of sweltering heat; who would have prepared winter supplies at home?
Lin Tianyu's room was different; he had a backup power system that operated automatically to maintain the indoor temperature. Slowly, Lin Tianyu opened his eyes and stretched his body. He and Chu Xiaoli had stayed up late last night, likely due to their excessive activities; at this moment, Chu Xiaoli was still fast asleep.
Lin Tianyu gently caressed Chu Xiaoli's delicate skin, a smile appearing on his face. He took out his phone to check for any official announcements when he suddenly noticed numerous unread messages in the community group chat. Curious, he clicked in to see what was happening.
What? There’s a power outage!? Oh right, my house has no electricity either! Isn’t this terrible? It’s already cold; how are we supposed to survive without power? Due to weather conditions, the authorities were unable to provide large-scale electricity supply, and now all areas were gradually experiencing water and power outages!
Everyone spent the night in darkness! Many people lost contact with relatives and friends overnight! While everyone hoped for official rescue, it had yet to arrive. They all wished for a miracle to happen!
Lin Tianyu knew that these people hoped and expected to be completely crushed soon. Sure enough, not long after, an official notification was issued: due to blizzards and low temperatures, there would be a two-hour power supply cut every day starting at ten in the morning. Everyone was advised to make arrangements regarding electricity usage.
The comment section became even more chaotic.
"How are we supposed to live like this?"
"The temperature drops even lower at night; how can we stay warm without electricity?"
"I heard many people went missing yesterday."
"Yeah, I heard that too."
Exiting the official group, Lin Tianyu sighed, realizing that the true apocalypse had begun. At that moment, Chu Xiaoli also woke up and looked at Lin Tianyu, who seemed lost in thought.
"What's wrong?" Chu Xiaoli asked, puzzled.
"Nothing much, just saw a notification on my phone saying there will be a complete power outage!" Lin Tianyu showed her the screen of his phone.
"A power outage? Why is it fine here?" Chu Xiaoli frowned, clearly confused.
Lin Tianyu smiled and hugged her gently, kissing her forehead lightly. "Because we won't have a power outage here," he explained. "I've already arranged backup power and emergency measures to ensure we have a normal electricity supply. So there's no need to worry."
A wave of safety washed over Chu Xiaoli! She couldn't help but admire her decision; it was indeed the right one.
Just then, Lin Tianyu's phone beeped again, interrupting their sweet moment. He picked it up and saw another message from Liu Dahu.
Liu Dahu: "Who has food? Bring out half for me voluntarily, and I guarantee your safety. I'll be going door to door soon; if you hide it from me, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Seeing this message, Lin Tianyu sneered. Just as he expected, Liu Dahu had started robbing people. In his past life, Liu Dahu was a ruthless person who would kill dozens for a bite to eat.
What a brainless fool still alive? After sending this message, Lin Tianyu ignored the group chat and spent two hours doing morning exercises with Chu Xiaoli.
Meanwhile, over at Xu Qingqing's side, the two had already endured long periods of hunger and were now facing a power outage—adding insult to injury. They were both feeling dizzy from hunger and were about to collapse!
Zhang Manli weakly said to Xu Qingqing, "Qingqing, I'm really about to starve to death. Besides Lin Tianyu, do you have any other admirers?"
