My apocalyptic heroine has come true

Suddenly, a strange force appeared from somewhere, which made Xia Xiaochi feel as if his legs were being lifted up by someone.

She was so scared that she immediately grabbed the handle of the cart.

Because of the support of his hands, Xia Xiaochi lifted his legs backwards, and then rose higher and higher.

Finally, she straightened her legs.

Floating up in a strange 'flying man' posture.

"Whaaaaaaaaaaaah!!"

Xia Xiaochi let out a series of screams.

Fang Ming's finger quickly slid across the screen.

He used a very tricky angle to 'cheat' and pushed his little heroine into the shelter.

Chapter 49 The Poorest Night

3:58

With Fang Ming's 'help', Xia Xiaochi even arrived home two minutes earlier.

She failed to brake immediately and hit her head on the iron sheet she had erected.

The entire shelter was filled with the sound of things collapsing.

Fang Ming glanced at her and confirmed that the little heroine was not injured before closing the door of the shelter.

"Zizi-"

The dispersal lights came back on.

During the short time that Xia Xiaochi left the shelter, Fang Ming turned off the lights in accordance with the traditional virtue of saving energy.

[Remaining Energy Points: 1]

This time he really is stingy.

If energy consumption remains at 2 o'clock per day...

This shelter will probably lose power completely in the middle of the night.

[Fluid Neural-Silver Marrow Exoskeleton Type I (Legs) is automatically charging.]

【Tip: Insufficient remaining energy】

[Remaining energy time: 3:59:40]

Fang Ming: “?”

"Depend on!"

Seeing this line of words, Fang Ming was dumbfounded.

He ignored this.

The game had reminded him before, and it clearly stated that energy-consuming devices would automatically recharge after entering the shelter.

The energy consumed by charging...

There are only energy points in the shelter, but no electricity, so the only way is to consume energy points.

After all, Fang Ming's experience with this type of game was too limited.

There are fewer pitfalls.

This type of game requires extremely high control over resource data, and if you are not careful you will fall into the trap set by the game maker.

"Xia Xiaochi..."

"Well……?"

The little heroine who had just gotten up from the ground rubbed her forehead and habitually looked towards the central dispersing light.

"There's no electricity... no energy."

Fang Ming said very calmly.

Xia Xiaochi was slightly stunned, and immediately understood that Fang Ming was talking about energy points.

The communication over the past few days made Xia Xiaochi understand that the shelter is actually maintained by energy points.

She immediately grabbed the box of bullets on the ground.

"I'm going to get the turrets ammunition! When those mutants come out, we'll open fire!"

"do not go."

Fang Ming locked the door: "One minute left, it's too late."

As he spoke, Fang Ming tried to pull the ammunition box in Xia Xiaochi's hand.

Just as he thought.

He has no authority to control anything other than items that are "born" from the shelter.

This principle is the same as the reason why Fang Ming couldn't touch the garbage that Xia Xiaochi picked up.

Hovering his finger over the phone screen, Fang Ming finally pressed the voice button.

Now, only Plan C can be started.

"From now on, I will cut off all contact with you..."

Fang Ming sent this voice message.

Then he switched the input to text, which would save energy to the greatest extent.

"Originally, I planned to convert voice input to text input tonight, which would have significantly reduced energy consumption. However, the remaining energy is now too low, so I will be disconnecting all communications. I will also adjust your repellent lights to their minimum range. If you encounter a mutant attack, you can adjust them yourself. The walls of the Ark Shelter are very thick, so I don't think it should be a big problem."

"By the way, if you turn down the scatter lights, the heat preservation effect may be reduced. Please keep warm and wear more clothes."

After sending this message, Fang Ming added two words:

"Good night."

Afterwards, Fang Ming adjusted the dispersal light to the initial range of 3 meters and turned off the heating function at the same time.

Finish these.

Fang Ming held his breath and looked at the remaining energy reminder.

[Remaining energy time: 15:57:32]

It’s just right...

Not one second more, one second less.

Just enough to last until eight o'clock tomorrow morning.

As soon as eight o'clock arrives, the mutant species wandering around at night will disappear.

Fang Ming, on the other hand, can quickly replenish his energy points through the store.

The timing is perfect.

The current energy consumption of the Ark Shelter should be the lowest before the equipment upgrade.

tonight.

This will be the poorest night for Fang Ming and Xia Xiaochi.

"..."

Xia Xiaochi raised his head and stared blankly at the dimly lit dispersing lamp in the center of the shelter.

She took Fang Ming's advice to heart.

After a pause, Xia Xiaochi said nothing and immediately took action.

Taking two iron plates to block the door of the Ark Shelter, Xia Xiaochi put his ear against the wall to listen to the noise outside.

Compared with the 10m x 10m range of the dispersal lights, the 3m range of the dispersal lights is indeed much inferior.

The mutants outside the door probably smelled the odor in the shelter, and their sharp claws rubbed against the outer wall, making a harsh sound.

After listening for a while, Xia Xiaochi judged that the mutant species were temporarily unable to break through the defense.

Then she felt relieved.

After simply packing up the supplies he brought back this time, Xia Xiaochi took out a few sesame-sized things from his pocket.

——This is the seed that the little girl gave to Xia Xiaochi after Fang Ming rescued the mother and daughter.

Looking at these yellow, flat little particles...

Xia Xiaochi recalled that when he was a child, his mother had given him something called "tomato".

The 0331 shelter has a large indoor growing area. Tomatoes, as a high-quality and high-yield food grown under greenhouses, are often supplied to those on the upper levels of the shelter.

The little girl said that her father was a farmer, so it was normal for her to come up with such seeds.

Xia Xiaochi took out two tomato seeds and wrapped them in cotton cloth soaked in drinking water.

I don't know if it will germinate if I do this.

Xia Xiaochi has no experience in planting, but precisely because of this, he has to try more.

Finish these.

Xia Xiaochi then remembered that Fang Ming had told her to wear more clothes.

So he put on another coat and wrapped himself in a blanket.

Xia Xiaochi sat on her little plastic bed, listening to the grumbling sounds of the mutant species outside, and she wrapped the blanket around her shoulders tightly.

Come to think of it, this was the first time she had spent a long dark night alone in the Ark Shelter.

Every time before, Fang Ming responded to her.

It always feels like something is missing.

Xia Xiaochi tiptoed out of bed.

She dipped her finger in some drinking water and wrote two words on the metal floor of the Ark Shelter, as a response to Fang Ming's last words.
