Chapter 1 Time Travel, Robbery
"Brother, wake up! Wake up!"
Li Hao was shaken awake by Li Wen.
"If you don't have anything urgent to do, you're dead."
Li Hao opened his eyes sleepily, glanced at the dark room, and said, "Why don't you turn on the light?"
He pressed the wall switch several times, but the room remained dark.
power cut.
He thought to himself.
"You little brat, you weren't playing games in the middle of the night, and you woke me up just because of a power outage, were you?"
Li Hao had just gotten halfway up when he remembered the reason and was about to shrink back into the covers.
"Brother, it's not a power outage!"
"Look out the window!"
Li Wen pointed to the window, his tone excited.
Li Hao straightened up and looked up.
It was pitch black outside.
Even at night, there are always a few windows with the lights on in the neighborhood.
There are also lights on the roof of the community.
"Is the power outage everywhere?"
Just as Li Hao was wondering...
Li Wen exclaimed excitedly, "Brother, I just went to the restroom and the outside environment has completely changed! The other residential areas are gone, and the mountains and forests have all turned into mountains and forests!"
Li Hao suddenly stood up and looked out the window, just as a flash of lightning streaked across the night.
A flash of white light streaked past.
The light revealed the dark mountains in the distance, and a huge black shadow in the sky.
What used to be other residential areas have been transformed into mountains.
The blurry black shadow in the air was at least several tens of meters long, and it sped through the air and soon disappeared.
This!
Li Hao's breathing suddenly became rapid.
He picked up his phone and found that there was no signal at all.
At this moment, the voices of other people could be faintly heard within the residential area, indicating that they had also noticed the same situation.
"Brother, what's going on?"
"Quick, come with me!" Li Hao hurriedly put on his clothes.
"Brother, where are we going?"
"Go to the fire hydrant and get the axe."
With the environment changing drastically, it's essential to have weapons for safety.
When Li Hao led Li Wen to the fire hydrant and opened it, they found that there was no axe inside.
"Brother, what do we do now?"
"Come with me."
Li Hao led Li Wen and quickly ran down from the 9th floor to the community's electrician's room.
"Brother, the door is locked, we can't get in."
Li Wen pushed the door hard, but couldn't move it, and looked anxious.
Li Hao went to the side, picked up a stone from the ground, smashed the window next to him, and poked at the glass shards.
"I'll go in, you wait outside, I'll open the door for you."
"it is good."
Li Hao climbed through the window and opened the door for Li Wen.
The electrical workshop was very dark, but fortunately, both of them had brought flashlights.
Two beams of light flickered in the electrical workshop.
The room was somewhat cluttered, with electrical wires and cables piled up in clumps.
Two quilts were placed on top of the shelf.
The middle shelf held a tool bag, which was open. Li Hao glanced at it and saw that it contained electrical tools such as insulated gloves, a voltage tester, screwdrivers, and wrenches.
"Bro, fire axe!"
Li Wen pointed to the corner and shouted.
Li Hao walked over and saw four fire axes casually placed in the corner.
"Take them all."
"Okay."
Li Wen took two.
Li Hao picked up a fire axe, which he felt weighed about 6 or 7 pounds and was nearly a meter long.
He held one in his hand, and put the other one into a bag.
"Brother, there's another shovel here, do you want to take it?"
"Don't take anything yet. Grab two bags and come with me."
"good!"
The two men, each carrying an axe in one hand and a bag in the other, left the electrical workshop.
Li Hao led Li Wen to the first floor of the next building, where a large crowd had gathered, with flashlights waving around.
The closer you get, the louder the noise becomes.
There's a small shop on the first floor; it's not big, but it does have some instant noodles and other staple foods.
At this time, other residents noticed the drastic change in the environment and had the same idea as Li Hao.
"What are you doing! These are all my things, you're not allowed to take them! You're not allowed to take them!"
The convenience store owner was a slightly overweight middle-aged man who spread his arms to block the crowd.
But he was bumped by the crowd and fell to the side.
"Come on, let's go in too!"
Li Hao led Li Wen into the convenience store, yelling, "Get out of the way!"
The two men, wielding axes, were arrogant and ready to fight at the slightest provocation.
Upon seeing this, everyone quickly hid.
If someone couldn't dodge in time, Li Hao would simply smash them with his axe, leaving them angry but unable to speak out.
Li Hao grabbed two bags of rice, each weighing 25 jin (approximately 12.5 kg).
Li Wen and another man simultaneously grabbed a 50-pound bag of rice. When the man saw the axe in Li Wen's hand, he paused for a moment and subconsciously let go.
Li Wen carried the bag of rice, then opened the bag in his hand and put the sausages and other snacks from the cabinet into it.
I also packed two more boxes of instant noodles.
There was absolutely no room for hesitation or choice; people just grabbed whatever was available nearby.
Less than a minute later, the two of them came out.
The two of them, carrying their belongings, climbed to the ninth floor, already panting heavily.
Li Hao wiped the sweat from his forehead, opened a bottle of mineral water, and gulped it down in a few mouthfuls.
"Let's go again!"
Without saying a word, Li Hao, holding an axe, led Li Wen downstairs again to sweep the area.
In this situation, we should grab as much as we can; every bit of food is essential for our future survival.
The two went to another convenience store on the first floor.
They arrived a bit late, and the place was already packed with people. Luckily, they had an axe to clear a path, which allowed them to manage to grab some more instant noodles, salt, and bread.
On the way back, we happened to pass by the electrical workshop.
I saw the electrician and a few other people come out from inside.
"Damn it, who's that fast?!"
The electrician came out of the building cursing and swearing, carrying a shovel.
Clearly, they were also after the axe, but Li Hao and his companion had already gotten there first.
After the two returned, Li Hao still didn't stop.
Then he took Li Wen downstairs.
Occasionally, you might run into other residents going up or down the stairs in the hallway.
The two visited several convenience stores in the neighborhood.
People were everywhere, carrying flashlights, mostly in small groups, with very few alone.
By this time, several convenience stores had been completely emptied by the looting.
Li Hao brought Li Wen to the community clinic.
The clinic doors were wide open, and people were going in and out with flashlights.
"Walk!"
The two men rushed in with axes in hand.
Several people inside were rummaging through drawers and cabinets.
Most of the medicine has already been sold out.
Only a few scattered medications remain.
The people inside only glanced up at Li Hao and Li Wen, made no communication, and continued to pack the medicine.
Li Hao and Li Wen didn't care what kind of medicine it was and just put the remaining medicine into a bag.
The two had only been setting it up for a few minutes when several more people came in with flashlights to snatch the medicine.
There are plenty of smart people.
The other party simply shone a flashlight on the medicine and, without saying a word, joined in the scramble for it.
Only after confirming there was no medicine left did Li Hao take Li Wen back to his building and climb to the ninth floor for the third time.
"I'm exhausted~" Li Wen lay down on the floor, sprawled out, panting heavily.
From noticing the environmental changes to going to the power room to get a fire axe, then to the convenience store to rob goods, and then to the pharmacy to steal medicine.
Race against the clock.
My mind and body are completely tense.
I can finally relax now.
Li Hao was also extremely tired.
He lay on the sofa, panting heavily.
Without regular exercise, I really can't withstand this kind of hardship.
Only after he stopped did he feel his muscles ache.
My shoulders, especially, were burning with pain from carrying the bags.
No need to look, it's probably broken skin.
Li Hao went to the window.
Dark clouds covered the sky.
Under the cover of night, everything was pitch black.
When the dark clouds dispersed, two moons were revealed.
One big and one small.
A hazy light shone on the earth, revealing its outline.
The mountains rise and fall in the distance, but there are no tall buildings in sight.
"Brother, two moons!"
Li Wen exclaimed in surprise.
