There's a power outage!

Sara couldn't help but panic, she was using the computer to complete today's homework, and by the way, she turned on the heating in the bedroom while listening to songs on the stereo. Although it is winter, the warmth in the room can be enough to keep warm by wearing only a plain single shirt with long sleeves.

For Sarah, it's a very comfortable life. You don't have to think about and calculate the high cost of energy use, you can do whatever you want. Compared to the thick clothes I had to wear before, the cold in the bedroom was like an ice hole. Compared to the days when I couldn't take my fingers out when I was doing my homework, my life now is heaven!

His parents were just ordinary salarymen, and it was impossible for them to afford too extravagant energy expenses. Sara and her brother have been coming over the years like this, and they should have gotten used to it. But because of the green light ring, they experienced how comfortable life would be when the price of energy was negligible in a month.

So when their energy supply was suddenly cut off, Sara couldn't help but panic. She rummaged under her bed, where their green light ring was hidden. When Sara removed the stacked items one by one, she found the Green Light Ring. The green light ring, which had been shining green for a month, no longer had any light.

The original bright green emerald gemstone-like ring has now lost its luster and looks like a colorless and transparent crystal. The power outage in the house also attracted the attention of Sarah's mother, who quickly ran from the kitchen to Sarah's room.

Just as she could ask what was going on, Sara looked horrified and lifted the green light ring, which had run out of energy.

And that's just the beginning. As one of the first families to get the Green Lantern Ring, Sarah's Green Lantern Ring had completely run out of energy, and in just twenty-four hours, a large number of Green Light Rings began to lose energy.

Depending on the amount of energy consumed by each household, the time to run out of energy for the Green Lantern Ring is also different, and some families who get the Green Lantern Ring later but run out of energy than some families who get the Green Lantern Ring earlier.

"You're selling fakes! This green light ring is useless after only three days!" shouted the bearded, muscular man. The object of his anger was a thin man who ran an underground business.

The thin man pushed the strong man away: "Stay away from me, keep your distance! How do I know if you broke this thing yourself! You must know that I got this through a special channel." It can't be a fake. I warn you, if you are dwelling on it, do not expect good fruit to eat. ”

The thin man glared at the brawny man, revealing the weapon he had hidden at his waist. Although the strong man was full of unwillingness, he could only let the other party go. I had spent a lot of money on the green light ring, and I had hoped to save my family's energy bills, but I failed.

If you still have to pay for energy expenses, your family will have no money to eat this month, what should you do? The strong man was unwilling to beat the wall.

And the thin man who sells green light rings in the underground market is actually a little anxious. In fact, the special channel he mentioned came from the hands of some members of the Public Eye. He was the agent of these people, and these members of the public eye did not come forward to sell the green light ring, but let him change hands.

Although they have to give themselves an extra share of money, these members of the public eye are relatively safe.

Although Norman carried out a major purge of the company, it is not an empty phrase that people make money, and dead birds die for food, and many people are still very willing to take risks in order to make some money. Just like in Li Jie's main world, although the laws of various countries have various strict regulations on the safety of medication, there are still counterfeit medicines? and they can also be injected into many people.

It's the same in this world, although Norman is in the Great Purge, many people feel that they still have to make money if they can make it. The so-called people die and birds rise to the sky, and they do not die for thousands of years.

Originally, these people in the public eye sold the green light rings they got through the underground resale business of thin men. But lately the skinny men have been complaining that there is a problem with the green light ring they got and that it won't be long before it's over.

The members of the Public Eye who were responsible for providing the green light ring felt that what the thin man said was nonsense, and they got a very regular green light ring, how could it be fake?

It wasn't until the green light ring they used in their own home had also lost energy that they realized that the thin man was telling the truth.

More and more green light rings are starting to lose their energy supply, just like a power plant that has pulled the main gate and cut power. All of the Green Light Rings are invalid!

There is a good saying: it is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift.

Although the use of the green light ring is carried out secretly for many people, there is no doubt that because of the existence of the green light ring, many people experience a completely different life in a month.

This also includes many employees of the Osborne Group, members of the Public Eye, and so on. They have all experienced how luxurious people's lives can be when the energy supply is liberalized (equivalent to the per capita resource consumption of Americans in 2020). People are born to love to enjoy and pursue a better life.

Countless people have just experienced what is called a real modern life, and they have been ruthlessly thrown into the abyss of their original life.

As Li Jie said, for most people, they can endure hardship simply because they have not experienced a better life.

It's like taking a child from a national-level impoverished mountain village to a big city like the capital Modu, and letting the child experience what is called a computer, what is called a TV, and what is called a smart phone. When you open the refrigerator door, it is full of all kinds of snack ice cream. In the hot summer, you can enjoy the coolness of the air conditioner.

When braised pork, which can only be eaten every year during the Chinese New Year, has become a common home-cooked dish in urban families. When all this was laid out in front of a rural kid who had never seen it all, he was thinking back to his old days. Every morning, I worked hard to fetch water in the river a kilometer away, and in the morning I could only eat tasteless corn paste. Milk, bread, soy milk, fritters, these foods may not have been eaten at all.

In addition to studying, I have to work hard every day, so I still don't eat well and don't wear well. In contrast, everything in the city is so beautiful that it is as dreamy as paradise. After seeing all this and enjoying all this, can the originally simple and kind rural children return to the countryside to live that poor life?

Standing in heaven and watching hell, life is like a melodrama. Standing in hell and looking at heaven, for whom is it happy and for whom is it busy?

When Sean excitedly tells Norman, "The Green Lantern Ring is invalid!"

Norman's face turned grim, he clenched his fists, and squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth: "Sean, the chaos has just begun." ”
