The Millennium After Dying Young Chapter 177: We only have one home!
"...how much do you owe?"
When Nan Xiaoxi asked this sentence in an extremely painful tone, Xu Le's heart was also heavy.
It wasn't until now that I realized that my image in others' hearts might not have changed at all.
It's just that the words are a little less, and the person looks a little better, that's all. The overall impression is still bad, which can be seen from the eyes of the relatives of the Nan family.
Of course, this is also due to the fact that he didn't show it deliberately from the beginning to the end.
For example, I have been in this world for a few months, and I haven't even got a car...
Compared to those novel protagonists who drive a luxury car and live in a villa as soon as they are reborn, who are despised by their ex-girlfriends when they go out, who are ridiculed by the rich second generation when they eat soy sauce, and who are full of anger at any time——Xu Le Like a salted fish waiting to die without desire, there will never be waves.
How can such a guy refresh other people's perception of him?
There is money in the pocket, but apart from opening a milk tea shop, the biggest consumption is probably to eat finger cakes and two eggs next to Lao Li Baozi Shop.
Other than that, there is no pursuit at all.
But today, Xu Le decided to clean up his grievances.
Didn't Nan Xiaoxi say that he owed usury? This kind of thing can be easily proved.
Xu Le took out his mobile phone and prepared to call the loan shark number. It was this number that he called to ask him to pay back the money, and his tone was extremely arrogant. Xu Le had saved it, and now it just came in handy.
As a result, I pressed several times to unlock the screen but it didn't light up. After looking carefully, I found that the phone screen was as gray as a glass window, as if it was covered with a layer of veil.
"This..." Xu Le blinked, looked at Nan Xiaoxi in astonishment, and made an expression of "what's going on, I don't understand".
If there is a bigwig in the entertainment industry present at this time, he will definitely point out sternly: Your expression is a bit fake, relax and be a little more natural.
But after all, he didn't come from a major, and Xu Le's performance was quite remarkable. The most important thing was that Nan Xiaoxi didn't notice it, and that was enough.
"This...what's going on?"
After playing with Xu Le's mobile phone, Nan Xiaoxi also took out her own phone, and looked stupid.
The Fruit B mobile phone I just bought has a gray screen, and it won't turn on no matter how I press it.
A black screen of death is a normal category, but now it is a gray screen, and you can hear a beep when you press it down, which means that the phone is in good condition, but it will not turn on.
Xu Le was about to say something, when suddenly his eyes went dark, the room was completely dark, and the TV and light bulbs went out, like a sudden power outage.
But the TV speaker is clearly still playing the news: "...Now, a piece of heavyweight news just received is interrupted. A college student in Guangchuan Province fought with gangsters. He finished all sixteen moves of military boxing and was cut three Twelve knives..."
Xu Le and Nan Xiaoxi fell silent at the same time, the room was suddenly plunged into darkness, but the TV was working, combined with the strange news, the atmosphere felt a bit weird.
At six o'clock in November, when there is no light, it is actually no different from late night, and you can't see your fingers. Fortunately, there is still a little moonlight outside the window, and the figures in the house can be vaguely seen.
Of course, this is for ordinary people like Nan Xiaoxi, it's not a problem for Black Cat and Teddy, they like to move around at night most. Not to mention Xu Le, his eyesight is better in the dark than during the day, and he can even see the sweat beads on the tip of Nan Xiaoxi's nose at this moment, feeling a little bit embarrassed.
"Hey, is there a power outage?" Xu Beibei's exclamation came from the direction of the sofa. !
"..." Xu Le chose to remain silent.
"It's just a power outage. The call will come soon, Beibei, don't be afraid." Relying on the moonlight and memory, Nan Xiaoxi quickly walked to the side of the sofa, hugged Xu Beibei in her arms, and comforted her with a smile. As for the broken screen of the new mobile phone, she won't think too much about it, rich!
"Hmm!" Xu Beibei obediently rubbed her head against Nan Xiaoxi's chest, and asked cautiously, "Then can I play games now?"
Nan Xiaoxi gently touched her head: "After finishing the homework, we can play again."
"Aww!" Xu Beibei collapsed.
Seeing this scene, the black cat and Teddy turned their heads at the same time, and the royal blue cat's eyes and the **** green dog's eyes looked at each other for a moment.
Without any verbal communication, the two guys jumped one after another and appeared beside the mother and daughter without a sound.
Nan Xiaoxi, an ordinary person, didn't see anything, but they had already sensed something was wrong, so they came here at this time to prevent accidents.
"Xu Le, go outside to see if the fuse is blown?" Nan Xiaoxi said to Xu Le after she put Xu Beibei on the sofa.
"Okay." Xu Le walked out of the house.
"How about I go with you." Nan Xiaoxi stood up.
"You take care of Beibei, I'll just take a look."
Hearing Xu Le's relaxed tone, Nan Xiaoxi stopped insisting. She didn't understand circuits, but she felt that what happened tonight was a bit weird, but she couldn't say what was wrong.
After pouring myself a glass of water, the two of them chatted on the sofa, but before they could say a few words, they heard loud shouts from outside.
"Xu Le, what happened?" Nan Xiaoxi called out the door.
"It's okay, someone should have come to fix the circuit, you just need to stay indoors, it will be fine in a while." Xu Le's voice came from outside the house.
Hearing this, Nan Xiaoxi didn't say anything more.
Xiao Hei and Teddy looked at each other, and they both saw a little worry in each other's eyes.
Nan Xiaoxi didn't know that Xu Le was not in a relaxed mood when he said those words.
Xu Le, who was wrapped in black mist, was floating in the air at this moment, looking at the completely dark street under his feet, he let out a long sigh.
Through the ink-like night, he can see that no matter street lamps, car lights, or even mobile phones, everything that can emit light is coated with a layer of gray, so that the light cannot shine through.
The entire city seemed to be completely swallowed by darkness, it was so dark that it was suffocating!
However, the corresponding tranquility did not come as expected.
On the contrary, because the lights were suddenly lost, but the equipment was still in normal operation. At that moment, I don’t know how many vehicles rear-ended, and I don’t know how many factory workshops had accidents.
From a long distance, Xu Le could see dozens of small cars crowded into greedy snakes on the elevated road in the distance, with flames soaring into the sky and thick smoke billowing. Farther away, there were other louder explosions.
The sudden darkness covered an unknown area, and with Xu Le's divine sense, he couldn't touch the edge for a while.
The noise Nan Xiaoxi heard was the sound of neighbors running out to chirp when they realized something was wrong. It's not panic, but it's still a bit chaotic after all, and people are panicked.
In the face of unknown situations, people are like girls who come to their aunt for the first time in their lives. They will be more or less nervous, but everyone's situation is different, and their fears are different. Some people are afraid that they will get sick, others are whining about the pants they just bought, etc., and so on.
Fortunately, this situation did not last long. About ten minutes later, the light came on again. Everyone was surprised to find that the layer of "cement" on the glass was gone, and everything returned to its original state.
However, this does not mean that people's mood will calm down quickly. They were like the lucky ones who had just experienced a disaster and survived. After confirming that it was just a false alarm, their suppressed emotions exploded instantly.
Of course, everyone is different, and everyone expresses their emotions differently. Some people choose to go home and take a hot bath to feel comfortable, and more people choose to go to the streets and tell the strange things just now with people they know or don’t know so as to express their inner fear and uneasiness.
Among them, there were quite a few witty young men who took advantage of the chaos to strike up a conversation with the young lady.
Some come back disappointed, while others are sure to hit, and leave with their beauties under the envious and jealous eyes of passers-by.
Xu Le pushed open the door and went back in this messy environment.
"Look, there's a call, hurry up and do your homework." As soon as he entered the door, Xu Le saw Nan Xiaoxi urging Xu Beibei to do his homework.
Xu Beibei pursed her lips, reluctantly took the pen, and lay back on the sofa.
"Thank you." Nan Xiaoxi stood up and greeted Xu Le warmly.
Seeing Xu Le's relaxed face, Nan Xiaoxi looked out the window again: "What happened outside, why is it so noisy?"
"A barbecue stall just opened on the street, buy one get one free." Xu Le said perfunctorily.
"Oh." Nan Xiaoxi lost interest in an instant.
Xu Le poured himself a glass of water, sat down on the sofa, touched Xu Beibei's head: "Do your homework well."
Xu Beibei raised her head, bared her teeth, and made a grimace. Seeing Nan Xiaoxi approaching, she quickly lowered her head to write again.
"What happened just now?" Nan Xiaoxi leaned closer to Xu Le's ear, and asked in a low voice, how could someone who could be a senior member of Nan's Group be so weak.
I didn't realize it before, but I just didn't think about it elsewhere. Now that I think about it, I don't feel right. Both the TV and mobile phone are grayed out, but they are still working, what's the matter?
Xu Le took a sip of water and was about to organize his thoughts when he heard the serious voice of the host from the TV.
"...Good evening, viewers, now we are interrupting an urgent news. Ten minutes ago, an extremely serious 'blindness' occurred in this city..." It was probably a retelling of the previous things. Hearing this, Xu Le stopped talking and motioned Nan Xiaoxi to watch TV together.
"...For this incident, our station invited Professor Fang Cedan. Professor Fang is a famous environmental sanitation expert and a famous meteorologist in my country. After the introduction, the host smiled and said, "What do you think about this incident?"
The voice fell, and the camera turned to the face of an old man with gray hair.
The old man in the camera is well-dressed, and his mustache declares his extraordinary experience. At first glance, he is a man with a story.
Professor Fang straightened his clothes with trembling fingers, and then said seriously: "Good evening, everyone. I already have the answer to the previous phenomenon. It is actually very simple. You should have discovered it. They are all glass products. This happens mainly because the X element in the glass is in contact with the X element in the air. According to my years of experimental experience, when these two elements collide together, large-scale coverage will occur. But this reaction will not last long, so please rest assured that there is no need to panic."
"However, I would like to say one more thing. In fact, the essence of this phenomenon is that the current environmental pollution is too serious, causing the air to be caused by too many other impurities. Here, the old man appeals to everyone to protect the environment. Everyone is responsible, don't let the tragedy happen again!"
"We only have one home!"
Although Professor Fang is old, his words are very contagious, especially when it comes to moving his face, he even wiped the corners of his eyes in cooperation.
Xu Le poked Nan Xiaoxi's arm, then pointed to the TV: "That's what I want to say."
Nan Xiaoxi: "..."
