SRTT Chapter 9.2

So Cruel? (2)

Advertisement

After Ruan Ning and Cheng Jili paid the money and packed the things, each of them actually had three large bags.

This was food from a store after all.

Saying goodbye to the boss, the two of them got out from under the rolling shutter door.

Ruan Ning thought for a while and said: “Boss, the situation is unknown now. It is not safe to store your goods in the store. It’s better to take it to your residence and don’t let anyone see it. Take a little at a time and finish it as soon as possible.”

“Don’t sell any more tomorrow.”

The male boss was stunned. He quickly smiled and said: “Thank you for reminding us. We will keep these well.”

Ruan Ning and Cheng Jili carried the food and walked back cautiously.

Nothing happened along the way. After all, it was not a robbery yet.

Unexpectedly, when they were about to enter the unit building, something strange suddenly appeared in the sky.

The night sky was filled with red light.

It looked beautiful, but even weirder.

Cheng Jili raised her head and stared blankly at the bloody night sky: “What’s going on? Is there a fire over there?”

Ruan Ning said: “This is the aurora.”

“Aurora?” Cheng Jili searched for the meager astronomical knowledge in her mind: “Aren’t the aurora green? And we have to go abroad to see it, right?”

Ruan Ning said: “When the solar activity is intense, the aurora is this red.”

Cheng Jili suddenly realized: “I see. Then, was today’s power outage also caused by the sun?”

Ruan Ning shook her head: “I don’t know. Let’s go back quickly. It’s not safe outside.”

Cheng Jili hummed, “That’s right. Going home is the most important thing.”

When climbing the stairs, Ruan Ning told Cheng Jili to eat the food that could not be saved first.

If the vegetables were not finished, they should be made into dried vegetables or pickles, so as not to waste them.

Cheng Jili nodded repeatedly.

Ruan Ning could only say so much.

After returning home, she put all the food into the space and fell directly on the sofa.

She originally thought that she wouldn’t be able to sleep tonight, but she didn’t expect that she would fall asleep faster than usual.

She wasn’t woken up until the next morning due to a knock on the door.

Ruan Ning didn’t feel very angry after getting up, so she came to the door to look at the peephole. Cheng Jili was alone outside the door.

So, she opened the door.

Cheng Jili quickly said: “Ning Ning, change clothes quickly. Let’s buy water.”

Ruan Ning was silent for two seconds: “Okay.”

After changing clothes and taking a quick shower, the two of them went downstairs together.

Cheng Jili obviously didn’t sleep well last night. There were red bloodshot on her eyes and frightening dark circles under her eyelids, but she was extremely excited.

As she walked down the stairs, she said, “Ning Ning, you are so smart. This morning someone from the community came and said that there was a big solar flare and that many devices were damaged and the power would be out for at least a week.”

Ruan Ning: “Actually, I don’t understand either. I just saw it on TV. It said that strong solar activity will produce red auroras.”

Cheng Jili regretted: “How come I haven’t seen it? But, I usually train. Alas, my brother said that something is not right, so we must stock up on things at home.”

Ruan Ning: “Your brother is right.”

Cheng Jili looked at Ruan Ning and found that her face was red: “Ning Ning, do you have a cold?”

Ruan Ning wanted to cry but had no tears.

No, she was just tired from going down to the 18th floor!

If she had known, she wouldn’t have rented such a high floor.

Commit a sin!

She climbed stairs yesterday, and her legs were still sore.

The two of them finally reached the first floor. Ruan Ning was out of breath.

Cheng Jili chuckled and said, “It seems you need to exercise more.”

Ruan Ning said with a sad face: “I am just exercising now.”

Cheng Jili was still silly and happy: “Then, let’s go to the gate of the community quickly. My brother is still waiting for us there.”

    Lol. I was just thinking of how terrible it is to go up and down 18 flights of stairs. Not to mention carrying water up all those flights!

    Remind me not to complain about having to go down three small flights of steps to get my mail😶 complaining about 15 steps vs 18 floor…

    18th floor? I might manage to go down quite fast. But going up is a torture for my knees
