Before the incident, it was about 8 p.m. local time.
John was in his tent at the time, happily eating hot pot and singing songs.
This delicacy from Eastern Huaxia was always one of his favorites, and even after getting here, he would prepare some ingredients to enjoy a simple hot pot to satisfy his cravings.
However, just as he finished preparing the broth and was ready to enjoy it, the entire campsite suddenly went dark, and the hot pot he had just set up had to be put on hold.
Was it an electrical fault?
That was John's first reaction.
Often out on missions, he was no stranger to such problems with electrical circuits—it was all too common.
After all, temporary setups like this one were prone to short circuits, which was nothing out of the ordinary.
John immediately put down his utensils and loudly called over William, the squad's engineer.
