[Apocalypse] [Realistic Speculation] [Multiple Protagonists] [Rousing] [No System] [Wits and Strategy] [Warlord Factions]
As everyone knows, the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz has plunged the entire world into an oil crisis. Japan is no exception. In fact, its situation is even more dire. Its natural gas reserves are dwindling so severely that a nationwide blackout is only a matter of time. This novel imagines what might happen under these real-world circumstances.
March 15, 6202.
A massive blackout with no apparent warning plunged the entire Land of the Rising Sun into darkness.
Supermarkets were ransacked, streets descended into chaos, and all communications went down.
Wang Lun and his three companions found themselves stranded amid the ruins of a foreign country.
No outside help. No way out. They could barely speak the language.
While others panicked, wailed, and waited for rescue that would never come,
An Xu calmly studied a building marked on the map and said,
"Let's go there first and take it over."
Days later, while other survivors were still fighting over a few bottles of water,
Wang Lun's team had already taken control of the entire neighborhood.
Someone asked what gave them the right.
An Xu smiled.
"Nothing special. We just gave up on relying on 'other people' sooner than you did."
It is really very objective and real, and describes the post-disaster scenes very vividly.
