Night 57 Workers on a telephone pole
An original little story every night to accompany you through those sleepless nights...... I'm a ghostly maniac, are you ready?
Today is the 28th day of November in the lunar calendar, and we are about to enter December, and there are still more than two months before our traditional festival "Spring Festival".
Some post-80s may still have some impressions, whenever they are young, whenever they come to this time, they have to limit the power, because the power generation equipment at that time is not perfect, and the supply of electricity is not very sufficient.
The time of the power outage is generally during the day, when the adults all go out to work and the children go to school, even if they don't go to school, they can get together to play games, which means that the impact of the power outage on everyone is not very great.
But now the power outage is different, the power outage for an hour or two will make people feel panic, more than 24 hours is simply a human life, if it is a little longer, then someone will definitely be driven crazy, because most of the things in our lives now have to do with electricity.
Whether it is leisure and entertainment, or cooking and stir-frying, basically mobile phones, computers, televisions, induction cookers, electric woks, etc., everything needs to use electricity, once the power goes out, these things have all become furnishings, especially when the mobile phone has no power, it is simply equivalent to a person without a soul.
Today was an ordinary night, Zhang Xiaokai had dinner early, sat in front of the computer and was immersed in the wonderful game world and couldn't extricate himself, a game was over, and with the perfect cooperation of him and his teammates, they achieved a complete victory.
According to the previous practice, they will definitely take advantage of the victory to chase a few more rounds, but I don't know why, those teammates went offline without saying a word, no matter how Xiao Kai contacted them, they couldn't get any response from the other party.
"This is strange, these people are missing from the collective play today?" Xiao Kai said to himself, before the words fell, only heard a "pop" sound, and then all the lights in Xiao Kai's house were extinguished, and all the electrical equipment stopped working, Xiao Kai was stunned for a long time before he reacted, this is a power outage!
Xiao Kai has been living here for almost three years, this kind of power outage is the first time, and I don't know who to deal with for a while, so I walked out of the room to see if the fuse of my own house was blown out.
After going out, Xiao Kai found that the corridor lights had also been extinguished, and then looked outside, there was darkness everywhere, it seemed that it was a regional power outage, and the power outage was not only his own family.
After the power outage, Xiaokai's only entertainment was gone, and he felt hungry to death, so he went downstairs to buy some food and came back.
Today's weather is also very oppressive, the weather is gloomy, it seems that the first snow since winter will fall at any time, and the street lights on both sides of the street are all solar panels, because the energy absorbed by the cloudy day is insufficient, and it has long been extinguished.
Maybe it's too cold for everyone to go out, and the shops on both sides of the street are all closed early, only some 24-hour convenience stores, gas stations are still open, and there are some lights, but in such a dark night, they seem so weak and powerless, it's just the light of fireflies.
At this time, Xiao Kai, who was walking on the road, suddenly heard some noises from above, and looked up to see that there was a worker crawling on the telephone pole next to him, probably carrying out emergency repairs.
"Master has worked hard!" Xiao Kai said politely: "Please ask what is the cause of the power outage tonight, and how long will it take to fix it?"
"It may be that the underground cable is aging and broken, we are investigating, in order to ensure the safety of power supply, we also took this opportunity to send someone to conduct a major inspection of the above-ground lines, and we are assured that we will be able to restore power immediately."
"Thank you so much and your colleagues, you guys are really working so hard, this power outage has a great impact on us!" Xiao Kai finished speaking gratefully, and walked towards the supermarket not far away.
Watching Xiao Kai go away, the worker who climbed on the telephone pole let out a long breath, cut all the cables on it three or two times, and then quickly climbed down the telephone pole and cleaned up the cut cables.
That's right, he is not a worker who repairs cables, but a thief who takes the opportunity to steal cables, this kind of thing is not the first time he has done it, for a little profit, I don't know how many things have been delayed.
Maybe it's because he just talked to Xiao Kai, so he was distracted, and in a panic, he forgot to cut all the cables, two of which are connected, coincidentally, when he hurriedly packed up the cut cables, this area has been repaired and began to restore power, so this thief was burned directly into a dry corpse by the broken cable!
Xiao Kai has already gone shopping, naturally I don't know that after I left, such a thing happened, when I came back, I saw more maintenance masters repairing there, Xiao Kai also politely said hard work to them, and gave them the drinks he bought.
When I got home and opened the door, the room was still dark, Xiaokai pressed the switch a few times, the light still did not turn on, it can be seen that the power supply has not been restored, I used the mobile phone lighting to habitually sit in front of the computer desk, pressed the start button, and at the same time tore open a bag of bread that I had just bought and ate it in a big bite.
There was a slight rumble from the host, and the computer screen lit up, Xiao Kai held the bread in one hand and clicked the mouse in the other, and began to look for the program he wanted to watch.
At this moment, the computer screen instantly turned blood red, shining on Xiao Kai's face, as if his face could also drip blood, and then Xiao Kai saw that the blood red on the screen tore a black hole, a black face, stretched out from the mouth, grinned at Xiao Kai, and shouted in a hoarse voice: "You hurt me, give me back my life!"
Xiao Kai was so frightened that he fell directly from the chair, but a hand stretched out from the screen and choked Xiao Kai's neck fiercely, Xiao Kai wanted to call for help, but his neck was stuck, and he couldn't make a sound at all!
At this moment, all the lights in the room turned on in an instant, the hand that pinched his neck disappeared in an instant, and the computer screen automatically turned off when the lights in the room came on!
Xiao Kai hurriedly turned the computer on again, and immediately dozens of messages popped up, all from his game friends, asking how Xiao Kai was playing the game and suddenly went offline, and Xiao Kai didn't know how to explain it to them.
At this time, Xiao Kai felt that his neck was still a little painful, walked to the mirror and looked at it, and found that a blue and purple pinch mark appeared on his neck!
