American comics: A salted fish becomes a saint by hanging up

Lin Nan and Peter entered the house to look for a power source to charge the time controller. As soon as they entered the living room, they were discovered by an old woman. When the old woman saw two strangers breaking in, her expression immediately became nervous, and she was holding a pistol decorated with silver patterns in her hand.

"Who are you? Why did you break into my house?" The old woman's voice was full of vigilance and fear.

Lin Nan hurriedly raised his hands, trying to calm the old woman's nervousness: "I'm sorry, we're not here to do anything bad. We have an emergency and need to use some electricity."

Peter also quickly explained: "We are here for..."

Before she could finish her words, the old woman had already pointed her gun at them: "Are you here to rob? Get out now!"

Lin Nan knew that it was useless to continue explaining in this situation. She tried to stay calm, but the sense of urgency forced her to find the next response strategy. She looked around and noticed some old electronic equipment in a corner of the room. Perhaps there was a power source that could be used.

"Please listen to me, we really just need to use your power source." Lin Nan said sincerely, trying to ease the situation.

The old woman refused to listen to her explanation, her eyes were full of suspicion and anger. Suddenly, she waved her pistol and shot at Lin Nan and Peter. The two quickly fled.

They dodged and realized in horror that the old woman was going to use force to drive them away.

"We mean no harm!" Lin Nan shouted, trying to make the old woman hear her voice.

Peter quickly pulled Lin Nan along, and the two rushed out of the house and avoided the old woman's attack. They were extremely anxious, but they had to endure this unexpected setback.

"What should we do now?" Peter asked breathlessly, his face a little pale.

Lin Nan thought for a moment and realized that they had to find a new source of energy as soon as possible. She looked around, a glimmer of hope in her eyes. Not far away, she found a small workshop, a little old but still in operation. Maybe there was the power they needed here.

"Follow me." Lin Nan hurriedly led the way to the workshop, and Peter followed closely behind. They quickly entered the workshop and saw various mechanical equipment and power tools placed inside.

"We have to find energy equipment." Lin Nan said, and she began to look for a suitable power source in the workshop to charge the time controller.

Peter helped with the search, and they kept opening various devices, trying to find a suitable interface. The passage of time made them feel more and more urgent, and every second and every minute could affect the success of the mission.

Finally, in a corner of the workshop, they found an unused battery pack. Lin Nan couldn't wait to open the time controller and start connecting the battery pack.

"Hopefully this time it goes well," Peter prayed.

The indicator light inside the battery pack lit up, indicating that the energy flow was normal. The time controller began to charge slowly, and Lin Nan and Peter breathed a sigh of relief.

"It looks like there's enough electricity here," Lin Nan said with a relaxed smile.

Peter also laughed: "Yeah, we finally found a solution."

After being repelled by the old woman with her weapons, Lin Nan and Peter hurriedly fled the house. They stood on the street, reviewing the situation with heavy hearts. Peter clenched his fists, obviously angry and disappointed with this sudden obstacle.

"We can't waste any more time," Peter said, a sense of urgency in his tone.

Lin Nan nodded. She calmly thought about her next move: "We must find another place to recharge the time controller."

Just as they were about to set out again to look for a new source of energy, Lin Nan suddenly recalled the old woman's expression and words. She thought that the old woman did not mean to hinder them, and perhaps she took drastic measures because of misunderstanding or fear.

"Maybe..." Lin Nan said softly, "We can try again, or find a way to convince her."

Peter looked up, thought for a moment, and nodded in agreement: "Maybe you're right. She might just be frightened by our sudden appearance."

They walked towards the house again, their hearts full of anticipation and nervousness. When they reached the closed door again, Lin Nan gently rang the doorbell. A moment later, the old woman opened the door, still holding the pistol, her expression still alert.

"Please forgive our offense." Lin Nan tried to speak in a calm voice, "We really have no ill intentions, we just need a little electricity to solve an urgent matter."

The old woman frowned, obviously uneasy about their reappearance, but under Lin Nan's sincere gaze and Peter's calm attitude, her vigilance relaxed a little.

"Who are you? What do you want to do?" The old woman's voice was still full of doubt.

Lin Nan continued to maintain a gentle tone: "We are... the protectors of the timeline. Our mission is to ensure the stability of the timeline. We need a little electricity to continue our mission."

After hearing this, the tension in the old woman's eyes gradually faded, replaced by a hint of understanding and curiosity. She put down the pistol in her hand and slightly relaxed her guard.

"Timeline protector?" The old woman raised her eyebrows slightly. "This sounds like a plot from a movie."

Lin Nan smiled and nodded: "It is indeed a bit like a movie, but this is our duty. We would be grateful if you could help us."

The old woman thought for a while, and finally nodded: "Okay, come in. I can let you use my power source."

With the help of the old woman, Lin Nan and Peter finally entered the house and got the opportunity to use the power supply. They stood in the living room and watched the old woman leave the room with a worried expression. In the room, Lin Nan and Peter began to look for the energy source they urgently needed.

"We have to find a stable energy source as soon as possible." Peter whispered to Lin Nan.

Lin Nan nodded, and she began to search every corner of the room, looking for any device that could charge the time controller. She opened a large cabinet filled with various electronic devices and tools.

Suddenly, Lin Nan's eyes stopped at a corner, and she saw a device that looked very complicated. It was a miniature nuclear power generator, usually used to power high-tech equipment. Lin Nan was delighted, and she walked over to observe carefully to confirm the performance and stability of the device.

"Peter, here is a miniature nuclear generator!" Lin Nan said excitedly.

Peter came over, looked at the generator and nodded: "It looks promising. Let's try it quickly."
