Power Outage

People living in the Ling Yuan apartment complex also stopped showing off their food after witnessing people die and realizing the situation would only get worse.

Yao Ran put away her phone, went to take care of the plants, and started another day of cooking. After cooking until noon, she ate a bowl of chicken noodles.

While she ate, she took care of the crops and fed the livestock in her space. After she was done, she opened the community chat group.

More people are asking for help and buying food than there were this morning. However, as the rain gets heavier and the water levels continue to rise, no one is willing to sell their food anymore. 

Before she could finish her lunch, the lights suddenly went out, and faint screams of fear and surprise could be heard. Yao Ran lit up the room with her mobile phone and walked to the balcony.
