Chapter 6:

After breakfast, Su Ruoyan exchanged a game console from the system mall, which contained 100,000 games.

Since it was connected to the TV, after installation, Su Ruoyan crossed her legs in gray silk stockings, held the game controller, and began to type.

Many of the games found here are not available in this world. After a day of playing, Su Ruoyan was amazed.

Before going to bed, Su Ruoyan couldn't help but sigh, "Today was a very pleasant day." She suddenly felt like this was life now, whereas before it was like working like a beast of burden.

Gu Qiangian, the neighbor, went to bed early. Unlike Su Ruoyan, she suffered torture all day long.

During the day, I not only ate junk food, but I was also bored. After all, there was no internet, and I didn't usually download novels or anything. Luckily, I slept a few hours in the afternoon, which helped me kill time.

But the problem is that I sleep a lot in the afternoon and can't fall asleep at night.

The next day, Su Ruoyan lived a life similar to the day before, in two words: enjoyment.

To pass the time, Gu Qianqian decided to find something to do.

Fortunately, there was paper and a pen at home, so she started drawing something based on it.

However, at night, what worried all the residents happened: the water stopped flowing.

Considering that the outside temperature is more than minus ten degrees Celsius, it's no wonder there's a water shortage.

Many residents have stored water and have nothing to worry about for now. However, some who didn't have any were a little scared at first, but were relieved to see so much snow outside. After all, they could take some of it home and boil it to make drinking water.

 For Su Ruoyan, although she had collected a lot of water before the end of the world, she couldn't take a comfortable bath without running water.

So, Su Ruoyan exchanged a water container at the system mall. It was about the size of a teapot and very light, but thanks to its spatial folding ability, it could store 30 tons of pure water.

After connecting it to the water pipeline, she could use the water resources freely as usual.

However, this is a bit expensive, costing over 6,000 points. But for Su

Ruoyan, who earns 10,000 points a day, it's nothing.

It was another morning, and Su Ruoyan's accumulated points had reached over 30,000.

"I really want to upgrade."

After all, leveling is related to daily benefits.

But if she wants to improve, she has to kill enemies, but the problem is that there are no enemies, and she can't kill innocent people indiscriminately.

Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore. I'll keep playing. Anyway, playing is a lot of fun.

At noon, after lunch, Su Ruoyan approached the window.

At this time, it was still snowing outside, but not heavily. Su Ruoyan opened the window to feel the cold call.

The cold wind blew, Su Ruoyan shivered, and then quickly closed the window.

 It was a little colder than last time, but not too much, probably around -10 degrees Celsius.

In fact, for humans, this isn't considered extreme cold. If it were minus 50 or 60 degrees Celsius, it would be truly terrifying.

To put it bluntly, in addition to the cold weather, there was also a network outage and no signal, which was a fatal blow to people already accustomed to the internet.

At that moment, Su Ruoyan saw someone coming out of the building. They probably wanted to buy food. Otherwise, who would be willing to go out on such a cold day?

However, a scene occurred that shocked Su Ruoyan. As she passed by the flowerbed, a plant with a bloody mouth tore off half of her body.

Su Ruoyan was stunned to see such a bloody scene. She even showed signs of vomiting, as she had just eaten lunch. After all, she had previously lived in a time of peace.

 Su Ruoyan suppressed her nausea and continued watching, because she was sure she would encounter something like this in the future.

And that plant is clearly a large carnivorous plant!

Su Ruoyan considered a possibility. When the end of the world came, plants mutated and became carnivorous. Otherwise, such a thing wouldn't have appeared in the community.

As the Piranha Plant chewed, white smoke rose from its mouth, visibly corroded and digesting. Within a minute, its mouth was empty, and then it began devouring the other half of the body.

Su Ruoyan suppressed her nausea and read the entire book. She discovered that after the carnivorous plant digested an entire person, its body became slightly larger. Presumably, its strength also increased.

I don't know if humans have awakened any special abilities. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to defeat this carnivorous plant with their physical strength alone.

"I don't know how many of these Piranha Plants there are."

But because it was covered in snow, Su Ruoyan couldn't clearly see what was happening in the flowerbed unless the carnivorous plant moved.

But if there are many of them, you have to be careful in the places where the plants grow, or they might bite you in half.

Luckily, this carnivorous plant grows on the ground and shouldn't be able to move. I wonder if it has any powerful special abilities.

 After sitting on the sofa, Su Ruoyan drank a glass of warm water, and the discomfort she had felt before finally eased a little.

And at this moment, Su Ruoyan discovered that the temperature seemed to be lower than before.

Thinking of a possibility, Su Ruoyan quickly glanced at the television.

The television was originally on because she was playing a game, but now it's off.

Now there's only one possibility left: the power went out.

Although Su Ruoyan expected the battery to run out, she didn't expect it to happen so soon.

Compared to a lack of water, the threat posed by a lack of electricity is much greater.

The weather is so cold that we need heating to keep warm, and to drink water, we need to use a kettle... all of these require electricity.

Su Ruoyan replaced a small generator from the mall. Although it's small, it can store a lot of electricity.

Once the installation is complete, the heating will come back on, but the game may end again.

 When other residents discovered the power was out, their faces filled with panic, and some even threw themselves on the floor, crying and screaming.

Next to Su Ruoyan, Gu Qiangian sat on the bed with his entire body covered in a quilt after the air conditioner stopped working due to a power outage.

The bad weather, coupled with the lack of electricity, water, and communication with the outside world, and most importantly, the shortage of food, is gradually dwindling. Fear of the future leaves her at a loss for what to do.

Before she knew it, another day had passed.

Because she had been eating junk food these past few days, Gu Qianqian looked haggard and weak. The only consolation was that junk food tasted good.

But what we will have to face next is that even junk food will soon be gone.

Gu Qianqian calculated that even if she saved money, the food could last two days.

As for water, fortunately, we prepared well in advance, but since there was no electricity, we could only drink cold water.

Drinking cold water at low temperatures is like eating a knife, which is very uncomfortable, but nothing can be done about it.

Gu Qianqian could only pray that the rescue team would arrive soon. Even if they didn't, it would be good to have electricity, water, and internet.

 Although some of the other residents lived better than Gu Qiangian, most lived worse. After all, Gu Qiangian was alone, and if one person was well-fed, the whole family wouldn't go hungry. But those with families should worry more about them.
