Before I could come up with a plan, the city experienced a power outage.

As soon as Baishixi left, I realized there was no electricity at home.

???

Unbelievable! The power outage came even earlier than I imagined!

I furrowed my brows and sat on the bed, staring blankly at the iPad.

If I strictly followed the rule of only logging in and picking fruits when they were ripe, it would undoubtedly minimize power consumption.

However, even if I did that, the remaining power at home wouldn't support the iPad for too long.

Moreover, his suggestion made sense.

In the end, I made up my mind and headed towards Baishixi's door.

Baishixi opened the door quickly. Before I could even knock, the door opened.

Everything else was fine, but my hand was still hanging in the air, which felt inexplicably funny.

Before I could make a move, he nodded, gesturing for me to come in and talk.

As soon as I entered, I was immediately stunned by how clean his house was.

When I arrived earlier, I didn't have time to notice.

How did this guy, a grown man, manage to keep his house cleaner than mine?!

Thinking about how messy my house was, it made my face uncontrollably blush.

And as I sat restlessly on his sofa...

He walked out of the kitchen with a glass of water in his hand.

"Have you decided to cooperate?"

I quickly raised my head, took the water, and forced a sheepish smile.

"Yes, after giving it some thought, I've decided to cooperate. After all, having one more person means more hope, right?"

"By the way, Baishixi, do you have a generator at home?"

I had been holding back this question for a while. Although it seemed too practical, it was crucial!

Baishixi shook his head, "No, I only have a rechargeable battery at home."

I immediately felt disappointed, but then I thought of our plan to go outside, and my eyes lit up.

"That's alright, I don't have one either.

"Are you interested in going outside with me to find a power generator? We can't go on without electricity."

I thought he would have some resistance, but to my surprise, he agreed.

"Sure, but we need to prepare before we set off.

"I hope we're going out to find vitality, not to meet our deaths."

I made a sound of surprise in my mind.

That was quite harsh.

But after considering it, he was the only one who could cooperate with me at the moment, so I had to grit my teeth and endure it.

"...Alright, tell me what preparations we need to make?"

Baishixi picked up his phone, unlocked it, and opened a game, showing it to me.

"I plan to make a set of durable clothes and weapons.

"I couldn't execute the plan earlier because I lacked flax as raw material.

"You'll be responsible for providing flax, and I'll go mining. Then we'll combine the two and see if we can make what I want."
