Chapter 371 [Xingqi City] 20
Ge Hua no longer eats as voraciously as before. She took a sip of the fish soup. Although there was only a piece of fish, some egg fragments, and a lot of vegetables in the soup, with a thin layer of oil floating on top, it was a delicious meal for Ge Hua.
She ate the three fish rice balls and today's corn cakes as her staple food, squinted her eyes to bask in the sun, and enjoyed the pleasant lunch break after a day's work. As usual, she observed the city people sitting separately from them. Ge Hua found that they didn't chat much today. Instead, they were staring at their own intelligent brains, with bright eyes and excited expressions. They were not even paying attention to the food in their hands.
This made Ge Hua very dissatisfied. She stared at the food in their hands fiercely, as if she could taste it that way. These city people didn't pay attention to such delicious food. What a waste!
There is no family affection in the wilderness. Ge Hua regards the people who have come from outside in the past few days as hidden enemies. After all, the work is limited. With more people coming, the work assigned to her... well, it seems not less, but resources are limited. Ge Hua curled her lips, turned in a direction, and met a pair of blue eyes.
"drop…"
The other party was startled by her sudden turn, and its electronic eyes jumped. It turned its head 180 degrees. Ge Hua took a look at the mechanical dog, focusing on the battery panel on its back. She pouted and said, "Hmph, I can't eat it." She looked away indifferently.
These robots are really timid and like to secretly observe people from behind. They usually bury their heads in work and don't talk during breaks. They look dull and pitiful, which makes humans isolate them...
Ge Hua had no idea that because she was so thin and small, and her arms had been replaced by machines for unknown reasons, and because she looked at other people's food with a greedy look on her face every day, the robots would also feel pity for her.
"It's true... That's great..."
"Then shall we go back?"
"Now... like this..."
"Stay..."
Ge Hua vaguely listened to the group's chatter. The sun was a little too warm, and Ge Hua felt dizzy and sat on the grass, squinting her eyes to sleep. Never mind zZZzz... Anyway, the botanical garden is pretty good... Even if I get kicked out, it's worth it to be able to live a good life for such a long time...
For anyone coming from Xingqi City, as long as they can pass the Questioning Heart Formation, Huahua will take over by default. Slowly, the high-rise buildings that Gehua saw as empty before are gradually filled with people, and the botanical garden has become more popular. Before, when Gehua went out, she could only see a small number of people among a large number of plants, but now it seems that she can hear people talking wherever she goes.
……
"What's going on? One power outage is a wiring problem. Two or three times is understandable. The key is," the speaker slammed the mahogany table, "how many times has this happened? And you still haven't found the problem?"
As he roared, the bright and clean office suddenly went dark. Apparently, there was a problem with the energy supply again.
The man being scolded was already sweating profusely, and now a faint sense of doom welled up in his heart. In the darkness, he wiped the sweat dripping from his forehead. "This... We've checked it out. All the lines are fine, and no suspicious individuals have been found. There are seven sources of energy supply, and we've even activated the backup plan. Logically speaking, the energy activated this time will be enough for Xingqi City to use for over three hundred years..."
"I don't want to hear your explanation. Now, immediately, go and investigate the problem again!"
"Yes...we'll go right away..." The worker retreated with tears in his eyes. When he was leaving, he almost fell because it was too dark.
Because of the inexplicable power outages in recent days, the relevant departments have been under great pressure. From the initial uproar, but now, most places have lit some fluorescent lights that will light up in the dark, and even the most primitive candlelight, which can provide people with a little light.
But this does not mean that the energy short circuit has no impact on the inner city. The biggest impact is the artificial sun in the sky. After the energy short circuit occurs more than five times, the inner city has to open a closed sky above Xingqi City. The red-hot sun rays outside are filtered out by the transparent cover, and shine faintly. Unlike the pale white sun in the past, the people in the inner city always feel uncomfortable when they are illuminated by the sun like this.
In addition, wiring problems also caused short circuits in many laboratories and the central computer room. Without sufficient energy, Oga's responses to people became intermittent. People were used to having their lives controlled by Oga. They could get food by stretching out their hands, surf the Internet with their minds, and even the hover cars they used to go out and the circular tracks outside the city. Most of the chip-free bionic people were controlled by Oga.
Because of Oga's hibernation, the convenient life in the inner city collapsed by half. The people in the inner city, who used to live a leisurely and elegant life, can be said to have been living in dire straits these past few days. They have to dress themselves, wash themselves, and the indoor temperature has changed from a constant temperature to fluctuate with the outside temperature. They have to do their own housework and even flush the toilet themselves...
People wanted to go online to complain, but after searching for a long time, they couldn't find any way. Then they remembered that the Internet was also maintained by Oga. After Oga fell into hibernation, their richest entertainment life also disappeared.
And all this is because of the energy cube that Feng Lan placed down.
As more and more people protested, the people at the top were under pressure and had to take care of the matter personally. As a result, they finally had no time to care about the botanical garden thousands of miles away and those who had escaped.
At this time, someone secretly chiseled a hole in the gate of Xingqi City. It was not big, about five meters high and three meters wide, and it was wide open, allowing light and hot air to come in from outside. Due to the shutdown of government agencies, no one repaired it for two or three days.
Sometimes, the hole would even get bigger after a day, and people would complain about it at first, or report it to Oga.
However, due to energy issues, all energy generated had to be supplied to the inner city first, and the surveillance in the outer city was also relaxed a lot, leaving only the surveillance around the inner city to remain operational, and things became strangely silent.
Near this open cave entrance, there is a relatively prosperous commercial street. It was originally deserted after being cleaned, but for unknown reasons, many people have been walking, chatting and eating on the street recently.
Only occasionally, people would casually glance at the hole, but as if afraid of being noticed, they would quickly and restrainedly look away.
At night, in the darkness, without energy, the outer city was pitch black and one could not see one's hand in front of one's face. A large hole was used to move many items out.
Occasionally, there would be some noises near the entrance of the cave, the sounds of footsteps that were deliberately suppressed.
Three days later, the robot responsible for repairing the city wall finally arrived. Under the gazes of countless people in secret, it patched the hole with a very thin layer of material to prevent the radiation from outside from refracting in. The speed was very fast, and the hole was repaired in less than twenty minutes.
The advantages of this repair material are that it is fast and can be shaped, but at the same time, it also has a big disadvantage, which is that it is easily damaged.
After one night, the hole that had been repaired with great difficulty was inexplicably damaged again.
