Lan Ke stood in front of the French window, looking coldly at the lights of thousands of homes outside.
Because it was New Year's Day, many people slept very late. Some watched the New Year's Day party and set off fireworks. It was very lively. No one noticed that after the early morning bell rang, the night became a little darker than before.
However, after the black fog in space completely enveloped the entire earth, people on Earth were affected one after another.
When the black fog covered the area, the northern hemisphere was immersed in darkness, and no one except the relevant personnel noticed it. However, it was daytime in the southern hemisphere, and everyone noticed it as soon as the sky turned dark.
Senior officials from various countries were alarmed because after all satellites and space stations failed, all aspects of the Earth related to satellites were seriously affected.
The impact of the navigation system being paralyzed and unable to position on transportation and the military is terrible enough, not to mention that without communication satellites, cross-border communications become a problem.
The only thing to be thankful for is that although the black fog affected satellites, it had no effect on the Internet on Earth, and humans could still communicate through the Internet.
Unfortunately, all this is only temporary. Once the global mutation begins, monsters will appear one after another. At that time, the power system will be paralyzed and the Internet will fall apart.
When I turned on my phone, the map software was still working, but the navigation function was completely broken. I opened Weibo and did a random search, and sure enough, many people were complaining.
Either the satellite TV at home suddenly lost its signal, or the navigation function failed.
Fortunately, it was still early in the morning, and the top leaders would not announce the truth and cause panic among the people. Most of the ordinary people were still asleep, and only a few people discovered the problem. Not only did it not cause panic, but many of the parties involved did not even take it to heart.
Lan Ke sighed heavily. At this time in her previous life, she had already fallen asleep and had no idea that the earth had undergone tremendous changes. It was not until she woke up the next day and found that the sun did not rise as usual that she hurriedly went online to check the news.
People are not fools. After discovering that the earth was shrouded in darkness, many rumors about "the end of the world" appeared on the Internet. Many people rushed into supermarkets and convenience stores to buy food and hoard it at home.
She was in the same situation at that time, but she didn't have much money, and she spent it all without buying much food. She was almost robbed by thugs when she went out!
In fact, on the first day of the darkness, the people still had some rationality, but as the darkness lasted longer, the people became more and more panicked, and more and more violent incidents occurred. At first, only some scoundrels took the opportunity to make a fortune, but gradually more and more people joined in. From robbery, it gradually escalated into fighting, and finally into murder, and even rape!
Someone secretly took a video with a mobile phone and posted it online, so more and more people were afraid to go out. Until the black rain fell and the earth welcomed light again, many people cried for joy.
At that time, she was like many people, naively thinking that everything was over, until... she saw those man-eating monsters.
Lan Ke took a bath while reminiscing about the past. The warm water gently poured over her skin, making her want to sigh in comfort.
Lan Ke was feeling a little heavy-hearted, the end of the century had already begun and the earth would soon become a purgatory. Although she had stockpiled a large amount of supplies, her comfortable life was becoming less and less.
At 7 o'clock the next morning, Lan Ke opened her eyes on time. She drew back the curtains and saw that it was not only pitch black outside, but also foggy. In the darkness, the light from the car lights and street lamps seemed particularly weak.
Lan Ke got up leisurely, washed, and made a hearty breakfast to fill her stomach. Afterwards, she did not go out, but continued to prepare food.
After 7 days of darkness, there will be 3 days of black rain. After the black rain falls, global mutation will begin. There will be no Internet, electricity, water or gas outages during these 10 days, but the outside world will become increasingly chaotic. She has almost spent all her money and has prepared all the necessary supplies. She does not plan to go out for the next 10 days.
She wanted to prepare as much cooked food as possible and store it in the container before the power, water and gas were cut off. The container has the function of preserving freshness, and time in it is basically still. Whatever the food is when it is put in, it will be the same when it is taken out.
When the earth becomes a purgatory, water, electricity and gas will become luxuries, and even cooking a good meal will be difficult. Lan Ke was reborn once, and she didn't want to waste the next 10 days in vain.
Four days passed quickly out of the seven days of darkness. Occasionally, someone would violently bang on the door, or even try to pick the lock, but they were all scared away by the sounds Babao made. No matter who was outside the door, she ignored them and was busy preparing cooked food.
The Internet is still working, but as soon as you go online, you'll see news of all kinds of violent incidents, and the situation is becoming more and more chaotic.
Lan Ke sets up a stall in the system trading area at 12 noon every day as usual. Because she has become famous, her business is pretty good.
On this day, when Lan Ke was setting up a stall, she met the Ruthless Swordsman again. Lan Ke was stunned when she saw him. They hadn't seen each other for several days since the last time they met.
Lan Ke was selling skewers. When she saw that the Ruthless Swordsman wanted to buy some, she quickly said, "Can you wait a moment? I have a gift for you, and I want to discuss something with you."
The Ruthless Swordsman looked at Lan Ke in surprise and nodded. So after buying the skewers, he did not leave but waited on the side. After all the customers in line had bought their goods, Lan Ke immediately closed the stall and took out a tightly sealed earthenware jar and handed it to the Ruthless Swordsman: "This is a gift, please accept it."
The [Ruthless Swordsman] calmly accepted it, and then asked, "What do you want to discuss with me?"
"Look, I've taken a fancy to a knife in your store and want to buy it, but I don't have that many trading points. Can I owe you the money first?" Lan Ke was afraid that the [Ruthless Swordsman] would disagree, so she added, "You know my cooking skills, and I won a medium-quality pond some time ago. The income will only increase in the future. I will definitely pay you back the trading points I owe you."
"Why did you buy a knife? Are you in danger?" [Ruthless Swordsman] asked curiously. His personal shop only sold weapons, and the prices were not low. He didn't think [Zhenxiu Louzhu] bought the knife for viewing and playing.
There is only one possibility, she needs the knife for self-defense!
Lan Ke was not surprised that the [Ruthless Swordsman] could guess it. This person always gave her the feeling of being unfathomable, and the goods sold in the store were all extraordinary. Obviously, they were not simple.
So she hesitated for only a moment before deciding to tell part of the truth: "Four days ago, the world I live in was shrouded in darkness, and violent incidents became more and more frequent. I had to prepare a sharp weapon for self-defense."
She didn't talk about the end of the world, otherwise there would be no way to explain why she could predict the future.
"I can sell it to you." [Ruthless Swordsman] seemed to be a warm-hearted person. "If you encounter any trouble, you can send me a private message. I will definitely help you if I can."
Lan Ke said: "Thank you very much! I will remember this favor. If you want to eat anything, you can come to me."
