Chapter 334: Eating Hot Pot Without Singing

"Why is that guy named Renault still active in that area? Wasn't the power supply to that area cut off before!?"

"The system at the power station indeed shows that the power has been cut off..."

"But the fact is that the power supply in that area is still normal! Not only Renault's factory area, but even the entire polluted area has normal power supply!"

"That... that might be because there's a problem with the power station's system..."

"Don't give me those excuses! I want you to cut off the power supply to that annoying guy right now! Whether you blow up the power station or cut off the cables, do it immediately! If there's still power supply to that area tomorrow morning, I'll feed you to the Infected!"

...

"Hiss!" Scarecrow, with a red face, fanned herself with her hand while trying to inhale more cold air to dissipate the pain in her mouth.

Most of the other dolls nearby were in the same state, but even though they were burning up from the spice, none of them voluntarily turned off their pain simulation systems because this spiciness... the more you eat, the more addictive it becomes!

"The essence of hot pot lies in the spicy broth!"

"Clear broth is delicious too!"

CF05 and NZ75 started arguing again, while most of the other dolls were chatting and laughing.

Sitting next to Maria, Scarecrow finally felt like she was still alive. If only this state could continue...

Thinking like this, Scarecrow felt that the spiciness in her mouth wasn't as intense anymore. She quickly lifted her chopsticks and reached towards the red pot of soup.

Snap!

But just as her chopsticks approached a floating slice of meat in the pot, the lights in the restaurant suddenly dimmed with a soft click.

"Huh... what's going on?" Seeing the sudden darkness in the restaurant, Maria was a bit puzzled, but then she remembered the power outage in the factory area before.

"Could it be another power outage?" UMP40 directly voiced out what Maria was about to say.

At this moment, Renault furrowed his brow. After all, he had personally tampered with the power transmission system of the power station. As long as there was no problem with the power station itself, or if the cables were cut off midway, the power on his side could not be cut off.

And that power station was a nuclear power plant supplying electricity to a large area. It was highly unlikely for anything to go wrong there under normal circumstances.

But it could also be the lights...

Just as Renault was thinking this, he saw G36 trying to open the refrigerator, but there was no light at all.

"Commander, the lights in the corridor are also off." M14, who was near the door, had already stepped out of the restaurant to check the situation outside, then came back to report to Renault.

"Alright, got it, I'll make a call."

As for who to call? Of course, it was that girl, Angelia. She was the one responsible for cutting off the power to his area before, so it wouldn't hurt to give her a call now.

Holding the phone, Renault waited for about half a minute before Angelia answered the call. Angelia on the other end of the line was obviously on a mission, and the clear sound of gunfire occasionally rang out from her side.

"Renault? What's up? I'm in the middle of a mission." Angelia was a bit surprised why Renault was calling at night, but she noticed the dark scene on Renault's side. If not for the phone's flashlight, she couldn't even see Renault's face clearly.

"My power is out again. Is your Statesec thinking of cutting off my power again?"

Upon hearing Renault's words, Angelia immediately held back the question she was about to ask, and then denied without hesitation, "How could that be? Our mission at the Statesec has long been over. Could it be that there's a problem with the equipment on your side?"

Seeing Angelia's expression not seeming to be faking it, Renault couldn't help but doubt it. After all, there was a small substation in the factory area. If that thing broke, it was indeed possible for the power to be cut off on his side.

"Alright, if it's not you guys, that's good. I'll go check the equipment. That's it, I'll hang up." Renault said and hung up the phone without hesitation.

But even if it was really the small substation that broke, the situation on Renault's side was not optimistic because that small substation was new and had not been used for long, so it was unlikely to break under normal circumstances.

Moreover, there was a crisp sound just now when the power went out. In a normal power outage, there wouldn't be any sound like that.

Thinking like this, Renault directly took the toolbox and walked out, using the light from his phone to check the small substation in the factory area. Unfortunately...

The thing was intact, without any problems at all. On the contrary, the high-voltage lines connected to the substation now had no power at all.

Seeing this, Renault couldn't help but understand. Someone must be trying to cause trouble again, cutting off his power just to get back at him.

These unscrupulous bastards! All they know is to cut off power for others!

Damn it, if I find out who you are and where you're from, I'll make sure to completely burn your power system to ashes!

"Commander? What's the situation?" RFB helped Renault carry the toolbox and came over, asking with some concern.

This girl, whenever there was trouble in the factory area, she would always hide or goof off instead of working. But now, just after a power outage, she jumped out of the underground dock and started asking questions.

"It's not broken here; someone messed with the power lines leading to the power tower or the cables."

Regardless of whether it was one of these two, it was troublesome for Renault.

Even if he could find where the problem was with the lines, he wouldn't be able to fix them in a short amount of time.

These basic infrastructure things were not something that could be easily repaired.

"Huh... so, does that mean we'll be without power for a while again? Should I connect the diesel generator?"

"No need, we don't need that thing. I have something better at home." Saying that, Renault directly took RFB to the underground dock, but this time they came down the stairs. With this power outage, even the elevator couldn't be used.

And seeing Renault coming here, a thought suddenly came to RFB's mind, "Commander, you're not thinking of using the spaceship's engine to generate electricity, are you?"

"Then what? Most of the pipelines of the spaceship are not laid out yet, and it's just sitting here. It's better to take it out and generate some electricity." As he spoke, Renault directly grabbed a bunch of thick cables and connected the engine's circuits directly to the small substation outside.

As for the original high-voltage cables, Renault threw them aside.

Who knows if there will be power in the future?

But Renault felt that it was unlikely for the rest of his life. Since the other party went to great lengths to cut off his power, he had no reason not to retaliate in some way.
