Suddenly plunged into darkness, everyone instantly became panicked, forgetting the dispute just now. I couldn't see anyone's face now, only that some figures were shaking in the darkness. I heard the fat woman's frightened voice: "What's going on? Is there a power outage! How so? ”

"Don't panic, and don't be busy. Who has a lighter? The voice of a middle-aged uncle.

"I've got it here." With the sound of talking, there was a "snap", and a glimmer of fire lit up in the darkness, and I saw the yellow-haired boy's pale face. He walked up to us with a lighter, and the light of the fire jumped, and each of their faces changed different shades of light and dark, making these faces look eerie and strange at the moment.

The middle-aged uncle asked the female clerk, "Do you have any emergency measures for power outages in this supermarket?" ”

"No, we're just a small supermarket here, so it's impossible to bring our own generator. And...... There has never been a power outage before. ”

"And what can be illuminated now, like flashlights, candles, etc."

"Flashlights are sold in supermarkets." The female clerk pointed to the shelves on one side and said, "It looks like it's on the top floor over there." ”

The uncle said to the red-haired thug, "Let's go, let's go and get it." They walked towards the row of shelves with lighters. And on our side, the fashionable girl took out her mobile phone and pressed the backlight, barely bringing a little light.

After a while, the uncle and the red-haired thug each returned with a flashlight, and they turned on the switch with the flashlight upward, and two rays of light shone out, like two lighthouses in the darkness to light up our surroundings.

The fashionable girl asked the uncle, "Why don't you bring a few more flashlights?" At least one person should have one. ”

"There are so many flashlights, but the batteries in the supermarket are limited, and if we don't use them sparingly, there may be no light at all in the future."

The fashion girl muttered, "I'm not going to stay here anymore anyway......"

At this time, the bearded man snatched the flashlight from the red-haired thug without saying anything, and walked straight to the door, he shone the light on the electric switch on the wall, and after looking at it for a while, he scolded: "Damn, there is no trip, it is really a power outage." ”

The little white-faced boy looked at the middle-aged uncle: "Listen to what you mean, will this electricity come again?" ”

"You're still asking such childish questions?" His girlfriend said in surprise, "Do you think it's a coincidence that there is a sudden power outage at this time?" You're not naïve enough to think it's a temporary blackout, are you? ”

The fat woman reminded with a gloomy expression: "The news says that all the people in our area have been evacuated. Power plants, of course...... Stopped working. ”

The little white-faced boy opened his mouth in a daze, and his voice seemed to have left him.

"Damn it!" The bearded man by the door roared again: "The electric drill can't be used!" He paused for a moment, then said indignantly, "But it doesn't matter, I can open the door with this hammer and hacksaw!" ”

The middle-aged uncle walked over and said to him, "I know that there is no point in persuading you at this time. But, before you open the door, I want to make one last request to you – trust me, it's good for you, too. The bearded man stared at him hesitantly: "What request?" ”

"Wait for more than ten hours. That is, wait until tomorrow morning, and you smash the door open. ”

Dahan narrowed his eyes and asked, "What does this mean?" If you want to smash the door open, what is the difference between today and tomorrow? Isn't it possible to spend more than one day in this and you have to be more comfortable? ”

The middle-aged uncle took out an MP3 from his pocket and squeezed it in his hand: "At least, let's learn about the situation for one more day through it." If things don't change at all by tomorrow morning, or if things get worse, I'll help you break the door open. ”

The bearded man stared into his eyes and said, "I remind you of one thing, now that the power is off, this MP3 can no longer be charged." You can only use it to listen to radio news for a day or two at most. ”

"I know, that's why I said, wait another day."

The two of them looked at each other for a while, and the bearded man nodded slightly and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you again and wait until tomorrow." But let me tell you, tomorrow morning at nine o'clock, no matter what, I'm going to slam the door. ”

He picked up the hacksaw from the ground, swung it twice in the air, turned his head and looked at the crowd viciously, and said, "If anyone comes to stop me again, don't blame me for being rude." ”
