Chapter 1
2025, July.

The clouds in the sky are like piling up cotton, one by one, layer by layer, gray and dull, the air is getting drier...

The fish in the river stopped biting the hook.

"There's going to be a thunderstorm..."

Wang Ben hurriedly put away his fishing rod and went home with a bucket.

The weather forecast last night was cloudy, and it was also on the phone, and it turned out...

The weather forecast is also inaccurate.

"Where is Benben fishing?"

"Hey~"

"How's the harvest?"

"Just a few, barely enough for a plate. It's going to rain, hurry back!"

"Yeah, I have to go back quickly!"

Back at the village, the rain has not yet fallen...

Wang Ben couldn't help but secretly said in his heart, God is strong, he didn't let himself get wet in the rain and become a drowned chicken.

But soon he heard a bad news - power outage!

Isn't it fatal to have a power outage on a hot day in July?

How are you going to spend the night?
At the door of the house, Father Wang, Jianguo Wang, was enjoying the shade in the front room with Mother Wang.

"Dad~"

"Ah."

Father Wang poked his head out to look into the bucket, and couldn't help laughing:

"How many fish do you catch for a day?"

"I fish for fun, not just for fish."

Wang Ben argued.

"You are so idle!"

Father Wang suddenly frowned:
"Are you really not going back to Jinling?"

"Well, I won't go back. It's good to be at home."

Wang Ben brought the fish to his mother.

"Mom, look, this is the fish I caught today."

"!"

Wang Ma stretched her head out of curiosity, and waved her hand.

"Ah~~ah~~~"

"Bake fish tonight!"

Wang Ben said to Wang Ma.

"Ah~"

Wang Ma grinned, drooling continuously.

It's not greedy, it's unconscious, it will flow when you open your mouth...

Three years ago, Wang Ma was still a healthy, strong, and fiery person, but one day she suddenly fell down and was admitted to the hospital, and then...

In just two years, it was completely paralyzed.

I can't take care of myself, I can't even talk...

Every time he sees Wang Ma like this, Wang Ben's heart is stabbed and tangled up.

In fact, it could have been avoided, there were early signs, but...

When he was admitted to the hospital, more than half of the blood vessels in his brain had been blocked, and he could not be cured.

Now it’s basically just living day by day, or pinning your hopes on—a miracle…

"How can I stay at home all the time, what can I do?"

Wang Jianguo disagreed with Wang Ben's decision.

"Your mother is taken care of by me at home, so you don't need to worry about it. You just need to work well and find a wife to get married early..."

"Hmm~"

Wang Ben nodded.

"At home, I can also find a job and find a wife."

"you……"

Wang Jianguo raised his eyebrows, then lowered them...

The child has grown up and has his own ideas, so he can't speak anymore.

However, it is estimated that I will stay at home for two months at most.

How can he stay with his temper?
It was just three o'clock in the afternoon, and it was not time to cook.

Wang Ben took out his mobile phone...

As a result, there is no signal!
"Today is really weird, the power is out, and the mobile phone has no signal..."

Wang Ben looked up.

The sky was still overcast, and the clouds were thicker.

'Could it be that the clouds are too thick to block the signal? '

The bored Wang Ben had no choice but to turn to the downloaded novel and read it.

"Space Pro Player"

Written by Tomato, it’s beautiful and addictive!
Four o'clock.

Wang Ben got up to cook.

Because there was no electricity, I cooked rice on the gas stove, then fried a plate of fish, and fried a plate of beans and cucumbers.

It doesn't matter if you fry it casually.

Cucumbers and beans are all grown in my own garden, and there are too many to eat.

Of course, the taste is actually not bad.

Father Wang cooks first to feed Mother Wang...

Wang Ben eats alone...

Because of the power outage, I couldn't watch the TV, and the battery in my mobile phone had to be saved.

So Wang Ben lay down early, his thoughts wandering by himself.

It has been almost a month since I came back, the wheat has been harvested, and the rice has been planted.

Nothing to do next, it's time to find a job.

Find a martial arts gym in the county...

Or do private tutoring...

Or take a class yourself...

Before he knew it, he fell asleep.

"what--"

In the middle of the night, Wang Ben suddenly felt palpitations and woke up from his dream.

"Hu-hu-"

Wang Ben gasped heavily, his chest heaving violently.

"Wang Wang!"

"Wang Wang!"

"Wang Wang!"

Outside, the dogs in the whole village were barking like crazy.

It adds a bit of mystery, gloom and terror to the dark night.

"!"

Wang Ben wiped the sweat off his forehead, got up and went to the window.

Can't see anything but black.

"What is it called? Call me again and kill you!"

The neighbor got up and yelled at the dog.

"what--"

Wang Ma downstairs was also woken up, humming.

"It's okay, it's okay, sleep~"

Father Wang turned on the flashlight, comforted her, and put her to sleep.

It's just not very effective, the dogs outside are too noisy.

later...

"Snapped--"

"Snapped--"

Suddenly a silver snake danced in the sky, and thunder and lightning flashed.

and getting denser...

"Crash-"

Finally, the day's torrential rain poured down.

Like the sky tilting, like the galaxy rewinding...

But it finally brought a little coolness to the hot summer.

"!!"

But Wang Ben's heart was still flustered, and he felt uncomfortable all over.

Did something happen?

typhoon?

earthquake?

still is……

There was no sleepiness until four or five o'clock in the morning, the rainstorm was gone, but the sky was not clear, it was still gloomy, with continuous drizzle.

The power did not come, and the mobile phone still has no signal...

The bad premonition in Wang Ben's heart became stronger and stronger.

As if something happened.

Absolutely big deal!
Potentially earth-shattering...

"Meditate! Meditate!"

Wang Ben tried his best to adjust himself, let go of his body and mind, stood upright in the room, and practiced boxing.

Just practice boxing.

Wang Ben has been practicing boxing since he was a child, and it has become an instinct for almost 20 years.

Soon Wang Ben was immersed in boxing, and he had no other distracting thoughts.

Before I knew it, it was dawn.

It's not on either...

It was raining all day.

Wang Ben also hardly went out.

Eating, practicing boxing, cooking...

On the third day, it was still raining, there was no call, and the mobile phone still had no signal.

Wang Ben practiced boxing all morning, and then went to a neighbor's house to play cards.

"Yes A!"

"I'm sorry!"

"Yes 2!"

"fry!"

……

"Something happened! Something happened!"

At three o'clock in the afternoon, my uncle Lian Shan ran in.

"Today I drove to the county seat, wanting to go shopping and do some shopping, but unexpectedly the county seat also had a power outage, and the entire Yi county was shut down.

Moreover, I heard from people who came back from the urban area that the urban area has also stopped.

The entire Pengfei City was cut off, and the mobile phone had no signal!

What do you think is the situation?
I want DZ...

Or is something wrong? "

"!!!"

Everyone in the room looked at each other.

A power outage in a village is nothing, and a power outage in a town is nothing.

Even a power outage in the county is nothing.

But if the power goes out in the whole city, there will be a problem.

Big question!
After all, now is not the past, the power is sufficient, and it is absolutely impossible to have such a large-scale power outage without a super big event, so...

problem occurs!
Something must have happened!

Big deal!
A special atmosphere is spreading...
