Chapter 1060: Chapter 1042: Will Always Get Out Chapter 1060: Chapter 1042: Will Always Get Out “Should we conserve the usage?”
“It’s okay,” Gu Ning once again stroked Tang Yuxin’s hair, “We have a few backup power supplies at home, which I estimate could charge the laptop more than a dozen times, so it should be enough.”
“We can’t possibly be stuck here forever.

There will come a time when we can get out.

Once the rain stops, I’ll go out and look for a way out, as long as the roads aren’t blocked.”
However, he felt the likelihood of that was slim.

The roads were definitely blocked, their car was undrivable, and clearing the roads was not something they could manage.

Probably, the best thing he could do was to save a few more people.

When the shaking stopped later on, he would go out and see if he could help with anything.

There weren’t many houses in this area.

As long as you didn’t jump from the second floor, you should be fine.

And when people are anxious, they really can do anything.

Tang Yuxin gripped her cell phone tightly, never making another call to her family.

Although Gu Ning had said so, she still felt that if they could save some power, they should.

The situation was out of their control and not something they could change, so it was better to stay put and wait for rescue.

Thankfully, they had prepared enough supplies and would not starve or become thirsty.

Perhaps it was the stress of nearly a whole day, but Tang Yuxin leaned back and had already fallen asleep.

Yet even so, she didn’t let go of her cell phone.

Maybe holding it made her feel more secure.

After all, it was her only means of contacting the outside world.

Gu Ning’s laptop was great, but even the best laptop can’t make phone calls, so the phone was safer.

She had turned off her phone while she slept to save battery, intending to switch it back on and report her safety to her family once she woke up.

After Tang Yuxin fell asleep, Gu Ning then went inside.

He began by tidying up things that had fallen in the house.

He also cleaned up the kitchen, sweeping the dishes and plates, and safely packed the rest in a cardboard box.

This way, even if there were aftershocks, they would still have bowls to eat from.

After tidying up, he fetched the backup batteries from the storeroom, two of them.

He originally thought they only had one, but there turned out to be two.

In fact, he had forgotten about these.

Yun City often experienced typhoons, so power outages were common.

When he came here, he remembered this and had prepared backup batteries.

The backup batteries were also being charged intermittently with the electrical circuit, so they should be fully charged.

These were high-capacity backup batteries, enough to keep their laptops running for several days and nights.

Now that there were two of them, they could help them through these toughest days.

He brought the backup batteries inside the greenhouse.

It had been a while and there had been no aftershocks, suggesting that there were likely no more.

However, they still couldn’t be careless, so staying inside the house wasn’t an option.

They would wait for news, and if there were no significant aftershocks, then leaving wouldn’t be too late.

He placed the backup batteries inside, then went out to check the status of the solar power generation.

When he switched the circuits, there was no power, confirming that the solar panels had not been successful in providing electricity.

They would need to wait for the sun to come out.

Their current technology wasn’t that advanced, so it was useless on rainy days.

He also took some food from the kitchen and placed it in the greenhouse, so it would be ready for Tang Yuxin when she woke up.

The rain outside was still falling, but much lighter than at first.

Perhaps by tomorrow morning, it would stop, and if it did, the search and rescue operations would become much easier.

He walked over and sat next to Tang Yuxin, pulling the blanket over her.

He then took out his laptop and reported their situation and their location.

With this information, rescue would come quickly.

He charged the laptop and then fetched Tang Yuxin’s phone, noticing it was turned off.

Always so cautious.

Gu Ning stroked Tang Yuxin’s hair again and took her phone from her hand to charge it.

When she woke up tomorrow and saw her phone fully charged, she would certainly be happy.

As for his own phone, he hadn’t brought it when he came out because it had fallen to the ground during the earthquake and now wouldn’t turn on.

So the only means of contact they had were his laptop and Tang Yuxin’s cell phone.

It really was a stroke of fortune amidst the misfortune.

He sat to one side, opened his laptop again, and looked for news about Yun City.

It was reported that the rescue teams from Yun City had already begun to arrive, but progress was slow due to its location surrounded by the sea on three sides, making it difficult for other rescue teams to come.

Relying solely on local efforts was barely enough, as they too were affected by the disaster.

The earthquake had nearly brought Yun City to a state of collapse.

Whether it was transportation or utilities like water and electricity, everything was down, and repairing all of that wouldn’t be easy.

So for now, self-sufficiency was their only option.

But Gu Ning wasn’t worried about this.

After all, their supplies of food and water were quite sufficient, and they could continue living and waiting for the rescue team to arrive.

Once transportation was restored, rescue wouldn’t be far off.

After a while, he closed his laptop and lay down to sleep.

At night, without electricity, everything was pitch black, and the only sound was the rain outside, which had lessened considerably since last night.

If there were no aftershocks by the next day, it should be safe.

Then they would move back into the house.

The next day, when Tang Yuxin woke up, the sky was already bright.

Perhaps because she had been frightened all day, she had slept very deeply and had not woken at all.

When she opened her eyes, the day had already dawned.
