The candles were so big that they were not used.

Jiang Fan took out a box of candles from the space.

These were birthday candles harvested from a cake shop.

“Tang Xueluo, light the candles.”

“Okay.”

Tang Xueluo found a lighter and lit the candles.

The faint candlelight gave the four girls a lot of comfort.

They sat around the candles, staring blankly.

Jiang Fan unexpectedly heard a prompt:

[Ding! Tang Xueluo consumes one candle and returns 500! Already put into the portable space. 】

Huh? Jiang Fan was stunned.

Why can you return by lighting candles?

It didn’t work when testing tissue paper and laundry detergent before?

Is it… related to the way of consumption?

Jiang Fan took out a pack of tissue paper and handed it to Tang Xueluo:

“Burn it.”

Tang Xueluo was stunned for a moment:

“Ah?”

Jiang Fan did not explain.

Tang Xueluo thought to herself, is he paying tribute to a relative?

Without much hesitation, she tore open the package and lit a tissue paper.

【Ding! Tang Xueluo consumes a tissue paper and returns 500! Already put into the personal space. 】

Jiang Fan’s eyes suddenly lit up.

Sure enough, it’s related to the consumption method!

Why was the previous method of wiping hands with paper not recognized by the system?

Is it…because the item was not damaged?

No.

When women use toilet paper, it is inevitable that it will be damaged, but I have never received a return.

So the key is not damage.

Jiang Fan pondered for a while, and took out a new towel:

“Burn it.”

Tang Xueluo was confused, but still lit the towel obediently.

【Ding! Tang Xueluo consumes a towel and gets 500 yuan back! It has been put into the portable space. 】

It’s returned again! Jiang Fan frowned slightly.

Can burning completely destroy an item?

Jiang Fan asked Tang Xueluo to burn a new mobile phone.

It couldn’t be returned.

Even though the plastic shell of the mobile phone was burned through, it was not returned.

This is interesting!

Jiang Fan narrowed his eyes slightly.

He took out a bunch of things for Tang Xueluo to test.

Burning Balenciaga stockings can be returned.

Burning a gold ring can’t be returned.

The women were all confused and looked at Jiang Fan in confusion.

Jiang Fan didn’t explain anything, but just guessed secretly:

“Paper, towels, and stockings can be returned, but mobile phones and gold rings can’t. Could it be that these things can’t be ignited?”

“No, the mobile phone can still be ignited, but it can’t be burned completely…”

“Could it be that the system will determine whether a certain item can be [burned completely], and only those that can be [burned completely] can be returned.”

“But this doesn’t make sense. The temperature of the candle is not high enough, and the mobile phone and gold ring can’t be ignited. If I use a steelmaking furnace to burn the mobile phone and gold ring, will they be returned?”

“Or is it because of the material? Can’t metal be returned?”

“Does the system judge based on the temperature of the flame, or because of the material of the item?”

Jiang Fan thought for a while and decided to test it. He took out a pair of thick-soled sneakers:

“Burn it.”

Tang Xuerou put the sneakers on the candle in confusion.

The upper of the shoe was burned, emitting an unpleasant smell.

But it was still not returned.

Jiang Fan said again:

“See if there is still gas in the stove? If there is, try burning it.”

The temperature of natural gas must be higher than that of birthday candles.

Tang Xueluo tried the natural gas, and it was still burning.

But the fire was very weak, probably because of the small amount of natural gas left in the pipeline.

Tang Xueluo took the sneakers and put them on the natural gas to light them.

[Ding! Tang Xueluo consumed a pair of sneakers and returned 500 pairs! Already put them in the portable space. ]

Jiang Fan’s eyes lit up.

Sure enough!

It also has something to do with the temperature of the fire!

Theoretically, all substances are flammable.

As long as the temperature is high enough, I can return any item!

Jiang Fan was in a good mood and took out a YSL lipstick:

“A reward for you!”

Tang Xueluo’s beautiful eyes lit up, and she happily took the lipstick:

“Thank you, Brother Jiang!”

She never thought that in the end of the world, she could still get a big-name lipstick!

Now, people outside can’t even eat, and she still has lipstick!

The other three women looked at Tang Xuerou with jealousy, and then looked at Jiang Fan with hope.

Unfortunately, Jiang Fan did not give out more rewards.

A little stimulation of women’s competitive spirit will help improve the quality of service.

Jiang Fan took out more than a dozen boxes of candles:

“There are plenty of candles. From now on, before going to bed every night, each room must light a few candles and keep them lit. Hu Lili is responsible for this matter.

. If you do well, I will also reward you with a lipstick. ”

Hu Lili said happily:

“Okay, Brother Jiang!”

20 candles were lit, and the room became bright.

Although it is not as good as the lights, it is also very good.

In the darkness, this room is particularly conspicuous.

The survivors of Building A looked at the building opposite in confusion:

“Whose house is that! Why are there so many candles!”

“Why are they all lit up? What a waste!”

“Hmph! I don’t know when the power will be restored. Let you show off. Let’s see what you will do when the candles are burned out!”

……

Jiang Fan received 10,000 candles in return, which he could not burn out at all.

He waved his hand happily:

“Not bright enough, light 20 more. Follow this standard in the future! ”

Hu Lili obediently lit 20 more candles.

The room became brighter.

The women were in a much better mood.

However, the survivors in Building A were in a completely different mood.

“Fuck! How many candles does this guy have!”

……

The survivors below the 21st floor were in a panic.

Before, there were lights at home, so even if the red fog blocked the view, it was still bearable.

Now there is a power outage.

Many families do not have candles and flashlights. Apart from the light emitted by mobile phones, there is no backup lighting method at all.

Once the lights went out, the red fog blocked the moonlight, and everyone’s room was pitch black, and they could not see their hands in front of their faces.

They could only turn on the gas stove miserably to get some light.

After more than half an hour, the natural gas in the pipeline was completely burned out. , it could no longer be ignited.

Below the 21st floor, it was completely plunged into darkness.

Now, everyone was panicking.

There were calls of various animals outside the window.

The night seemed extremely terrifying.

Some people huddled in their beds, shivering.

Some people, especially those who lived alone, could not stand this terrible darkness, walked out of the room in the dark, and climbed upstairs.

Finally, a large group of survivors gathered in the stairwells of the 22nd to 24th floors.

When people were in the group, they finally felt relieved and discussed what to do in the future:

“It’s impossible to live below the 21st floor.”

“Why don’t we move upstairs?”

“Who will take us in these days?”

“Humph! Now it’s a disaster year, we should help each other, why don’t you take us in! Do you still have humanity?!”

“What can we do if they don’t open the door.”

“They will always come out, as long as they come out, we will rush in!”

“No need, there are still many empty rooms upstairs, enough for us to live in. ”

“This is a security door, it can’t be opened at all!”

Several men who didn’t believe in evil kicked the door together.

A few minutes later, they came back dejected and panting.

“It can’t be opened at all.”

“Fuck! These bastards upstairs are so inhumane that they won’t open the door for us!”

Violence didn’t work, so several people started shouting in the corridor:

“Is there any kind-hearted person who can open the door and let us stay overnight?”

“It’s late at night, isn’t it bad for us to stay outside?”

“Please be kind, my child is only 3 years old, let me into the room?”

They shouted for a long time but no one opened the door.

No one is stupid.

How could they open the door to let outsiders in at this time?

Everyone started to get angry:

“I know everyone on this floor! We are all neighbors, we will see each other sooner or later, I wonder how you will face people in the future!”

“Bastards! You are so selfish! ”

“This is outrageous! Isn’t it just staying for one night? It’s as if we’re not leaving!”

“Fuck you! If you dare, don’t go out. I’ll chop one up if I see one!”

……

The residents on the 22nd to 24th floors dared not speak out and could only stay indoors.

After struggling for a long time, they still couldn’t get in, so they could only sleep miserably in the stairwell and corridor.

But the floor was too cold and hard, and it was uncomfortable to sleep.

Someone mustered up the courage to go back home and brought some bedding.

Others followed suit and also brought various things.

Bamboo mats, camp beds, reclining chairs…

These people didn’t dare to separate, and gathered between the 22nd and 24th floors, making a mess here.

The residents on the 22nd to 24th floors secretly complained, but there was nothing they could do.
