บท 16: Chapter 16 Leaving Home_1
Everything was prepared properly, just like in his previous life, Dong Tianyu left for work early in the morning to hand over his tasks.
It wasn't that Dong Tianyu was responsible, but that his office had something he wanted: The most up-to-date and detailed paper map of Pengcheng.
This item was extremely important, a department in his office was responsible for updating it every month, everything from storefront renovations on the streets to road closures and construction, would be clearly marked on it.
Or one might say it wasn't so important because there was an electronic archive, so every month they would destroy the paper map made the previous month.
'Clack!'
Just like in his previous life, all the electronic devices in the room stopped working and the second wave of disaster officially arrived.
Colleagues in the office began leaving their offices to ask what had happened. Although their office was not very important in the city, they had their own independent power grid and standby generators working non-stop to keep the electronic devices in the office running at all times.
But this was the first time that all the electronic devices in the office had stopped working simultaneously.
The supervisor in the office quickly arrived at Dong Tianyu's control room upon the power outage. His face turned ugly when he saw the dark screens of the monitors in the room.
Although he knew it was not Dong Tianyu's fault, he still gave Dong Tianyu a reproachful look, and then immediately took out his mobile phone from his pocket to report the incident.
But when he took out his phone, he suddenly realized that his phone was also in a blackout state. After he tried to turn it on several times and failed, he immediately also asked for Dong Tianyu's phone: "Give me your phone."
Upon hearing this, Dong Tianyu took out his also blacked-out phone, handed it to the supervisor, and told him, "It seems that my phone is also having problems."
After fiddling with Dong Tianyu's phone for a while and confirming that it also did not work, he handed the phone back to Dong Tianyu and immediately left the office.
Watching his supervisor leave hastily, Dong Tianyu pondered how long it would be till he saw him again.
Not long after the supervisor left, someone in the office informed Dong Tianyu that the holidays had already begun, and the specific time of returning to work would be notified according to the street where he resides.
Taking advantage of the situation while other people were still oblivious, Dong Tianyu went into the drawing room and took the latest Pengcheng map and also grabbed a sledgehammer from the tool room.
Seeing people in the parking lot trying in vain to start their electric cars, Dong Tianyu leisurely left the office gate and arrived at the bus stop.
Dong Tianyu certainly didn't come here to wait for the bus, but to use the hammer to 'borrow' a shared bike.
Unlike the freely parked shared bikes in other cities, the shared bikes in Pengcheng had designated parking spots, all planned near the bus stops.
With the universal key- the hammer, Dong Tianyu quickly got a shared bike, and considerate Dong Tianyu even left the universal key- the hammer for others to use when borrowing shared bikes.
The location of Dong Tianyu's office was quite remote, but although it was far from the city center, it wasn't too far from Dong Tianyu's refuge center.
Upon reaching the village at the foot of the mountain, Dong Tianyu casually parked the shared bike and walked up the mountain.
As for why Dong Tianyu didn't ride up the mountain when there was a path, you may not believe it, but the shared bikes in Pengcheng were like gym exercise bikes.
For some reason, the longer you ride, the more tired you get.
It's fine since each bus stop has a parking point, so most people in Pengcheng were used to it, after all, it doesn't cost anything, they would replace the shared bike after riding a certain distance.
A drive that usually took half an hour, it took Dong Tianyu almost half a day to walk by foot. When he finally arrived at the mountain cave refuge center, he was so tired that he fell directly onto the bed.
After getting a good night's sleep, he checked the electronic clock by his bed and found it still working. It seemed that after the refuge center was converted to a mystery side, they directly shielded the electromagnetic pulse attack brought on by the second wave of catastrophe.
After stretching his body, he got out of bed, rode his electric bike and tried it. He found that the two-wheeler parked at the door could still be used normally, it seemed that the refuge center had really blocked the electromagnetic waves outside.
With the electric bike, Dong Tianyu finally didn't need to rely upon route 11 for traveling. He rode his electric bike directly out of the gate of the refuge center.
However, the moment the electric bike left the cave entrance, its driving power suddenly disappeared. It seemed as if it had run out of power and started moving slowly forward by inertia, finally slowly coming to a stop.
Realizing this, Dong Tianyu didn't lose hope, he got off the bike and tried to push it back into the secret refuge, hoping that the electric bike would return to normal.
But even if he pushed it back into the refuge, no matter how hard he tried, the electric bike still showed no response and seemed like it had run out of power.
Realizing the problem, Dong Tianyu took out a spare electronic watch from the Shadow Space. This watch could also be used normally in the refuge and would turn off the moment it left the refuge.
It seemed that this disaster didn't damage the electronic devices only once like Dong Tianyu had originally thought. Instead, the catastrophe continuously damaged the electronic devices.
If the situation goes on like this, Blue Star's technological level will regress several decades.
But this wasn't Dong Tianyu's concern for now. After understanding the outside situation, he took out a mountain bicycle from Shadow Space as a means of transportation.
It wasn't anything high-end, just a standard mountain bike with adjustable gears that could be found at any wholesale market for a couple of hundred.
People always say that it's easier to ascend the mountain than to descend. But for Dong Tianyu, who had a mountain bike, descending the mountain was much easier than climbing.
Returning home in the evening, Mr. Thompson, who was deep in thought on the sofa, couldn't help but ask Dong Tianyu when he walked through the door: "Is the message your friend gave you true? Will the outside temperature drop rapidly?"
Hearing Mr. Thompson's somewhat anxious question, Dong Tianyu nodded.
"According to the information given by your friend, how much time do we have before the temperature drops?"
"I reckon it will not exceed one month at most."
"One month? That should be enough. According to what was said that night, neither cars nor electric bikes could be used. So how did you get here, don't tell me you walked."
"Of course not, I cycled back."
"Where's the bike then?"
"I carried it up the stairs."
When Mr. Thompson heard what Dong Tianyu said, he was relieved. Mr. Thompson had lived through the era when bikes were considered a luxury. He knew that for a period of time to come, bicycles would be the only mode of transportation, and there was no need to say more.
Mr. Thompson and Dong Tianyu talked for a long time that night. Dong Tianyu stayed home for a few more days, until one day he left directly from his doorstep on Route 11, leaving the bike at home.
