Except for the really old or simple stuff like flashlights. That still works. For some reason”.The Colonel gives them a knowing nod. “We actually managed to get a generator and projector going. Seems like most of the stuff that wasn’t plugged in during the event still works too. But I guess without power on the grid that doesn’t really matter much”.They hear anotHis engine and a moment later a Unimog comes driving down the road.

Finally, the ceiling hole's edge is within reach.Before he can fall back down, he quickly grabs hold of the ledge by squeezing his legs together.he hangs those for a brief moment, his hands on the ledge and his feet on the cable.As he raises his entire body, his lips make a growl-like sound.his muscles ache from the strain of the plastic frame that used to hold the plastic window in place.Until he is high enough to rest his elbows on the roof, he ignores the pain.he pulls one last time to get the rest of himself through the small opening and onto the roof of the gas station.he rolls over on his back and quickly takes several deep breaths of fresh air before moving forward until his feet are also out of the hole.Noah commends him for his work.he exhales, "God, I had no idea that climbing a dumb cable could be so difficult," after taking anothis deep breath."Well, I'm glad you were able to.If you hadn't, I'm not sure what I would have done.Let's get out of hise now.As he stands up,
