Chapter 2: Chasing the Lightning
The Internet cafe is a small Internet cafe, and its name is also small Internet cafe.
However, although it is small, it is complete and has all the internal organs and can be configured. The key is that it is cheap to access the Internet, so naturally it has become a place for two people to visit.
Walking through the door curtain, the air conditioner brings a chilling feeling.
The few computers in the Internet cafe are almost full.
There was a crackling sound of keyboard pressing everywhere.
In the noise, there were also mixed with the angry scolding of young people watching the football game at the door:
"It's really a piece of shit to do a big fight in the national football team. Even Canger, a small place that is still in the war, has raised a group of mud that cannot be supported by the wall with a high salary."
"Oh, who said no, just those big belly team members, I can do it, Damn it, I lost another thousand dollars."
Lin Dong smiled, vaguely remembering that the national men's football team he had traveled through time was so unsuccessful. He didn't know if they had traveled through time for a thousand years and had they scored into the World Cup.
The front desk of the Internet cafe is also the boss, named Ning Fei, who is a girl with neat short hair and neutral dress.
At this moment, I was busy behind the bar.
Seeing the two of them coming in, they called out:
"Brother Dong, fat man."
The two of them responded and walked over, activated the card, and the fat man said carelessly:
"Brother Fei, is your girlfriend?"
"Sleeping on the second floor, why, fat man, I want to see the beauty, isn't it enough for me?"
The fat man skillfully threw a cigarette and deliberately swept his eyes from the front desk chest:
"Sorry, I don't like women who are too rich at a young age."
"Get out, even if I like men one day, I won't look for you, a fat man. If I want to look for someone like Dong Ge."
After saying that, Ning Fei also shook her hair on her forehead, raised her eyebrows at Lin Dong, and winked.
Lin Dong touched his nose and smiled and teased, "That, Xiaofei, I actually don't like those who are too rich at a young age."
Ning Fei, who was busy, almost staggered after hearing this. She grabbed two bottles of iced drinks from the refrigerator, threw them over, and cursed:
"Get out of the Internet quickly. I'm not in trouble when I know you two, one is a fat man and the other is a thousand years old dog."
Lin Dong and the others took it with a smile, and found two adjacent machines to sit down.
Fatty Yan is a master in playing games. In the past, he was very high. A few years ago, if the live broadcast industry was so popular now, with Fatty's skills and his tricks, in his own words, he should be able to be a well-off person when doing game live broadcasts for the most time, and maybe he can even get fans.
Unfortunately, he is old and has not caught up with the golden period of the booming e-sports and live broadcast industries. Fatty Yan often regrets that he has not been a few years late, and sighs that he can win the championship on the Jiuzhou E-sports Cup stage now can only lead a scoundrel like Lin Dong to abuse the Yutang Bureau.
Of course, Lin Dong often sneered, although the fat man's level is indeed as high as a few floors.
As for Lin Dongcai, it’s still real. Although I have lived for so long, I can do any game when playing games, but I can do any game very well.
In short, it doesn't have this talent.
"Brother Dong, today I will give you a few wins and treat me to a skewer tonight."
Fatty Yan squeezed together on her face, and her mouse brushed in her hand, pretending to be a master.
"OK……"
The two were talking.
Suddenly, the computer in front of me suddenly turned black, and the lights in the entire Internet cafe dimmed.
The small Internet cafe with tight curtains suddenly turned dark.
A power outage?
"Network management, network management, make Mo Ziji..."
"Get off the machine, get off the machine, waste my internet fee!"
"Network Manager, Network Manager, my instant noodles? It's so dark, which goddaughter has brought away the noodles I just soaked."
The Internet cafe suddenly became noisy and was as noisy as a market.
"Boom."
Suddenly, a thunderclap came into Lin Dong's ears, like a huge hammer pounding a drum, deafening.
As the thunder sounded, another lightning flashed by.
Then it started to rain.
In midsummer day, the face of a doll.
It seems that I can't go online today.
The fat man squeezed out of the seat and turned to Lin Dongdao:
"Brother Dong went out to smoke a cigarette?"
"Get up."
The two of them got up, walked through the curtains, and came outside the Internet cafe one after another.
I saw the sky covered with dark clouds, as dark as midnight, and the sky seemed to be pressing down, within reach, and the whole city fell into a different and silent darkness.
The heavy rain fell from the gray sky, forming white rain curtains in the alleys, hitting the bluestone floor, splashing water, and then converging on the street to form a white water flow.
"It's raining, why did even the electricity stop? It seems that I didn't have the chance to quit the Internet addiction of a few primary school students today and I have made some contribution to the education cause of Daqian."
The fat man said with some regret, took out a wrinkled yellow cigarette box from his pocket, put it in his hand and knocked it, and took one and threw it towards Lin Dong.
Lin Dong took it and took out the lighter and lit it.
Under the dark eaves, a light and dark fire lit up.
The two of them bent their backs and squatted, staring at the rain curtain hanging from the eaves like two old farmers watching the harvest, and the curling blue smoke rose from their fingers.
At this time, the door curtain rang, and Ning Fei walked out of the Internet cafe, and there was a petite woman in a Lolita dress next to her.
It is Ning Fei's girlfriend, Nie Xiaoling.
"I just received a notice that not only us, but the whole city has lost power. The power supply bureau is still checking for the reason. I am afraid it will not come in a short time."
After saying that, Ning Fei also squatted down and naturally took out a cigarette box from the fat man's hand next to him, and clicked it and sucked the clouds and smog.
"Brother Fei, you are so unkind. Every time I smoke my bad cigarettes, I won't take out your good cigarettes." The fat man smiled and muttered:
"Also, Brother Fei, I just got out of power when I got on the machine. The game has not started yet. You have to pay me back the internet fee for this hour."
"Give it back to you, how could the chairman of a small Internet cafe group that I have about tens of thousands of minutes know you, who are so stingy and shrinking," Ning Fei glared at the fat man:
"Fatty Yan, I know. You can't find a girlfriend, you're just stingy."
Nie Xiaoling next to her smiled and finished the fight: "Ahem, actually the main reason is poverty."
The fat man who was criticized looked at the pair of women who were colluding, and then looked at Lin Dong with resentment:
"Brother Dong, this couple will bully me together. Do you have the heart to help me?"
Lin Dong, who was ecstatic at the rainstorm, said "um" and came to his senses. He pinched the cigarette with only the yellow filter in his hand and twisted it a few times on the bluestone floor:
"That's wrong with you. Although the fat man is a little poor, you cannot ignore his ugliness because of his poverty."
"ah......"
The fat man started to wail and shouted that he was careless in making friends.
The pedestrians in the alley who were hiding from the rain cast strange eyes.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and soon the bluestone streets gathered into turbid water flows like streams.
The thunder rumbling like fried beans.
Occasionally, a silver-white lightning flashed from the horizon, illuminating this small southern county like a huge iron pot.
"It hasn't been like this rainstorm in Guobei County for many years." Ning Fei sighed next to him.
"yes!"
Lin Dong returned and looked at Ning Fei.
Ning Fei, who had a heroic face, stood up after smoking, her short hair fluttered in the wind, and Nie Xiaoling, wearing a pink dress next to her leaned against her shoulder like a bird.
Not far away, pedestrians were hiding under the eaves of the alleys. The hanging rainwater formed crystal water chains between the eaves and the ground, reflecting the different expressions of passers-by.
The couple snuggling with each other, the pedestrians hiding from the rain, the shops that light candles, shining with a slight warm yellow light, and the sound of tyres of vehicles passing through the road in the distance, the sound of horns gathering into the various forms of sentient beings in the world.
"Thunder sounds fall from the mountains, and rain colors come from the peaks."
Lin Dong stood up and sighed. Somehow, after traveling through a thousand years, he still felt a faint nostalgia.
People are not old, but their hearts are old. The thought of falling leaves returning to their roots cannot help but grow, but they don’t know what the world will become.
"Let's go in, the rain will not stop for a while."
Looking at the still thick sky that could not be melted like ink, Ning Fei said.
Everyone was about to lift the curtain and go in.
Suddenly, with a loud "slam" sound, a silver-white lightning flashed across the heavy rain curtain and slashed down.
Before everyone could react, they hit the bluestone slab at Lin Dong's feet.
"Clang."
