Chapter 18 What it's like to experience a power outage on a hot summer day
Ahhhhh, the power went out again!!" A panicked shouting came from the small rental house.
"Hot Chicken Electricity Bureau!"
"Give me the coolness!"
As a hard-working migrant worker, it doesn’t matter if I live in a narrow and dark rental house, this backward neighborhood has been experiencing power outages from time to time in the past few days.
The power outage may not have been a big deal a month or two ago, and everyone could at most just take it a step back.
But now, it’s summer!!
A power outage in such a hot summer is literally life-threatening!
And it lasts all day long!
This kind of complaints actually gradually extended from this block to that block... More and more people have experienced the feeling of being without power for a whole day in the summer.
So much so that the EAD communication group, which is open to the public, has received reports from the public.
They reported to the Electricity and Power Administration that they were playing with things...
emmm, I'm sorry, we are an anomaly investigation and prevention team, not the People's Livelihood Administration.
The correspondent lady felt helpless while listening to the complaints. She could not receive reports of abnormal situations, but there were quite a few people who called to complain about this kind of livelihood incident.
I don't know what those people are thinking.
Is it because the voice of the correspondent is too sweet?
There is no need to report this kind of thing to the defense team, not even to the patrol team. At most, it is recorded in the call book that "the tip was received from the xx area and said ***".
...
At this time, in the EAD training ground.
"Xingkun, do you want to fight me?"
"..."
This is the first time Chiba Yuki has been pulled to train with members of the defense team since he joined.
After passing various physical fitness tests, I was surprised to come to the conclusion that this guy's physique was actually very good, and he was in better shape than Yuya Tsukui, who became a combat member a year ago.
Fortunately, Yuya was immersed in the virtual battle at this time, otherwise he might not have been autistic for a long time after hearing this result.
The training ground includes a real training ground and a virtual battle room.
As long as they have been developed, various fighters and weapons have been entered into the system for members of the defense force to train and become familiar with.
In the past, most of our simulation training was against various ability users, or enemies invading with fleets; but now, the system has once again entered the monster data stored in the database to conduct simulated battles.
After all, many authoritative experts once said that the "monster-prone period" is really over forever, and it has indeed been peaceful for more than half a century.
Therefore, when the Earth Human Alliance jumped out of the earth to expand, it thought more about preparing for external crises. Who would have thought that their hometown would be more dangerous.
Therefore, after the new order was issued, the recent training of the defense teams in various places has been very intense.
From the first generation of the Kurt Team that guarded the earth until now, there are hundreds of monsters collected and stored in the library.
It is really not easy for the defense team to master all the response methods in a short period of time.
Yuya is quite happy about it, because in the virtual battle, he can not only pilot the assault fighter Falcon, but also use various banned high-energy weapons.
Very cool!
At this time, he was using the Predator, and he and Kazama Nakajima were trying to find a way to encircle and destroy a monster known as the space dinosaur, Jayton.
Playing there... the training is very intense.
At the real training ground, Jiang Miko didn't have the same hobbies as they did. After watching Chiba Yuki's physical fitness test, she suddenly suggested that the two of them should have a fight with bright eyes.
"..."
Chiba Yuki paused, and then said: "No, bullying girls or something..."
"Huh?" Jiang Meiko suddenly raised her eyebrows. At this time, she was wearing a ponytail and dressed in training clothes. She was quite heroic, "Although I really don't know much about computer technology, Xing-kun, you don't want to be too cautious in actual combat."
Look down on me."
She was still secretly fighting over what Chiba Yuki said before, "If you don't understand, don't ask."
Little girls just hold grudges.
Jiang Meiko had already set up her posture, with a confident smile on her face, and said, "Is it possible that Xingjun is actually worried that you can't beat me?"
These words are really exciting.
"Since you want to, then as you wish." But how can I put it, this method is really useful for men.
Even if he doesn't want to fight, Chiba Yuki can't back down, otherwise wouldn't he really admit that he can't even beat a girl?!
So the person opposite him also arranged his starting position, smiled softly, and said, "Come on."
The posture of the two people suddenly attracted the attention of Captain Sato, who was talking to Rie Amagawa not far away.
Looking at Emiko, and then at Chiba Yuki who was taking a posture opposite her, Sato Takadera raised his eyebrows.
"Ah, are they going to fight?" Rie Amagawa also noticed the situation there, and smiled after being stunned for a moment: "Chiba will suffer, after all, Emiko is not as weak as she looks on the outside."
Jiang Miko is only about 1.65 meters tall, but her appearance is petite and sweet, which is completely inconsistent with her personality, which is very deceptive.
"Not necessarily, Chiba looks very confident." Sato Takaji also said with a slight smile.
He didn't have the sense of majesty he had as a captain in the command room. At this time, he looked quite approachable.
Then—"Bang!"
Sato Takadera's smile gradually froze, and he held his forehead for a while.
Rie Amagawa burst out laughing and said, "That guy Chiba is indeed very deceptive."
It's just that one is soft on the outside and strong on the inside, and the other is strong on the outside and dry in the inside.
When he is serious, Chiba Yuki always gives people a feeling of confidence, as if this guy can definitely handle it.
However, it still couldn't change the fact that he was kicked away by Jiang Meiko.
"I underestimated you just now, come again." After Chiba Xing got up, he took up his posture again.
Then, there was another "bang"...
"That's just a warm-up exercise."
Still "bang".
"I'm going to be serious this time."
"Bang!"
"The real battle begins now!"
"Bang!"
...
Well, I just can’t beat girls.
It really hurts all over the body. Could this woman be taking the opportunity to seek revenge?
Chiba Xing sat on the ground and simply waved his hand, "No more fighting, I admit defeat."
Jiang Miko came over leisurely, squatted next to him and said with a smile: "Really, it would be better to admit defeat from the beginning. Xingjun's fighting ability is really poor."
"I'm not a combatant in the first place, okay?" Chiba Yuki said angrily.
"But who makes you always go to such dangerous places? You can't do it if you don't have the ability to protect yourself." Jiang Meizi curled her lips and said dissatisfied: "Otherwise, why do you think the Tianhe deputy team always wants you to come and train with everyone?
."
This is true.
As a non-combat technician, he always likes to go out and seek death.
The four people who often went to war were safe and sound, but he, a civilian who sat at the operating desk, had to visit the medical team every now and then.
Rie Amagawa has a headache over this.
You like to go out for a run, okay? In that case, let’s train together and improve your physical fitness.
"I know, I know." Chiba Yuki, who probably understood what the two of them were thinking, waved his hand helplessly.
Just follow the training for the time being. Anyway, there will be many excuses when you want to sneak away in the future.
"Beep beep beep—"
