Chapter 292 Light Bulb

(I'm back, kids.)

In sandstorm weather, because visibility is so low, you can see the house, which means the distance is not far.

After parking the car and pulling the handbrake, Ling Luxian just opened the car door and got a mouthful of sand without noticing.

"Oh!"

He just opened his mouth to spit out the sand in his mouth, but more of it poured in. Ling Luxian had no choice but to gesture with his hands, asking everyone to go into the house first before talking.

Thor was the last one to enter the room. He quickly closed the door and lay down on the broken sofa without caring whether it was dirty or not.

"Phew~ I need to take a breath. I almost thought I was going to die in the hands of the Random Swordsmen."

Ling Luxian and Panam looked around. This room had long lost the breath of life and was covered with dust that was a finger thick.

This is a bit of an exaggeration, and it also means that no one has lived here for a long time. I don't know whether the original owner died or moved away.

Thor was lying on the sofa and said leisurely: "Hey, it's time for dinner."

"I'm not hungry! I just ate a few pounds of sand." Panam spoke in a somewhat harsh tone, and she didn't know who had made her angry and made her dislike him.

After standing there for a while, perhaps because he was calm, Panam suddenly said, "It seems that we have to stay here overnight. This room is too dark. It would be great if there was electricity."

Ling Luxian didn't wait for Panam to say anything, and went to find the switch. It was really too dark in the room, and Ling Luxian's Qilusi didn't have a night vision plug-in installed.

Just like staying in the dark for too long, you can't stand seeing the light suddenly. Because his eyesight is too good in normal state, being in this hazy dimness makes Ling Luxian very uncomfortable.

Generally speaking, the switch is either in the outdoor meter box or in the indoor tool room.

Ling Luxian was too lazy to go out and eat another mouthful of sand, so he went to the tool room in the dark to try his luck. As expected, he found the distribution box there.

Since no one had lived here for a long time, Ling Luxian prayed that the power had not been cut off and pushed the tripped electric box up. Thank God, there was no power outage, and finally the bright world returned.

Panam said in surprise: "Hey! It's lit up."

Ling Lu curled his lips and said meaningfully: "Yeah, it's such a big light bulb."

When Thor saw Ling Luxian coming out of the tool room, not only was he not aware of it, he also pretended to tremble to gain sympathy.

Ling Luxian gnashed his teeth. How could he, who had learned a little from Lao Wei, not see that Thor only had some superficial injuries? And even so, he wasted his time to heal.

Not only did he not have the awareness of being a light bulb, but he also complained about the cold here. How could you not freeze to death, you bastard!

Panam squatted in front of the fireplace, fiddling with something, and didn't pay much attention to Ling Luxian's tone. He just said to himself: "I wanted to turn on the heater, but it didn't work. If it's in your hands, maybe it can be revived? Do you want to try?"

"Anything else you need, Princess?"

As soon as Sol said it was cold, Panam started fiddling with the heater, which made everything Ling Luxian said taste a bit sour.

Panam didn't expect this. He just thought Ling Luxian was complaining. He sat on the sofa, crossed his legs, and said jokingly, "Tsk, I'll have to think about it. But if Thor is frozen to death, our friendship will be over."

"Fuck!" Ling Luxian gave Thor the middle finger, "Thor, you know what? I really want to punch you to death."

Thor pretended to be aggrieved and shrugged.

Ling Luxian grabbed Sol's shoulders, bared his big white teeth, and said half-threateningly: "It's not fair for me to eat sand alone. Go to the car we hijacked and see if there is anything to eat or drink. How do you think?"

Thor looked at Ling Luxian helplessly, then at Panam, sighed, and walked out the door.

As he walked, he said, "The world is really going downhill. How can we let sick people work?"

"Tsk~ You're not the prince of Asgard, so what's wrong with asking you to do some work?"

This fireplace is an electric fireplace, and it was probably caused by a power outage, which may have caused some minor problems. Or, it is also possible that a connector on the outdoor electricity meter box is loose.

Even if he didn't want to look for the meter box now, he had to go out. Ling Luxian followed Sol and walked out.

Sol went to the car to look for supplies, and Ling Luxian went to the backyard to find the electric meter box to see which wire was connected incorrectly.

When he opened the meter box, he found that a wire was loose. Ling Luxian plugged it in, and the connector of the cable on the ground emitted a blue light.

This means that some electrical appliances in the room have started to work again.

Ling Luxian returned to the room, and Panam was bored, so he found a bottle of whiskey from somewhere.

"We are really lucky. Do you see this? This is a good thing from before the last war."

Ling Luxian frowned and asked, "Is this still drinkable? Don't drink it to death."

"As for wine, the older it gets, the more fragrant it becomes. As for whether there is any problem, only God knows."

Not long after, Thor came in with a few bottles of wine and some food.

"No need, we have edible food."

"Wow, Thor, you're awesome!" Panam shouted excitedly.

Ling Lu rolled his eyes at Thor, picked up a bottle of wine, opened it, and took a few sips.

Thor put the food on the table, then sat down next to Ling Luxian and said with a smile, "How about these things I found? They're pretty good, right?"

Ling Luxian took a look and found that most of them were instant food products. Of course, these were what ordinary people in Night City ate in their daily lives.

So for most people in Night City, the only kitchen appliance in their homes is a microwave.

What Thor brought out wasn't too bad, there was actually a butcher's house, this kind of meat was considered high-end in Night City. It looked like it was supplied exclusively by the Night Walker boss in that place.

[Seventy percent real meat, real meat dripping with blood! Slaughterhouse, satisfy your instincts.]

Ling Luxian still remembers the magical advertisement. It is indeed a whole food factory that produces Kejia dishes. Perhaps it is the era of big advertisements. All advertisements in Night City highlight the curiosity.

But to be honest, this slaughterhouse is really a good thing. Unlike ordinary synthetic meat, which is all worm meat from protein farms, the slaughterhouse uses hydroponic meat, so it dares to say that it is 70% real meat.

It is unknown what animal cells are used in hydroponics. Given that they dare to post advertisements to sell it openly, it is most likely not rice meat.

"It's barely acceptable, but it's a pity there is no microwave here." Ling Luxian muttered.

Panam moved the butcher's house onto the fireplace and let it warm up. "It's okay. It's the same if you use this thing to heat it up. I didn't expect that the bastards in the Luan Dao Society would eat so well. We are really lucky."
