Chapter 1081 Eternal Night Crisis

However, the eternal night period brings people much more than just this.

The eternal darkness, like a ruthless mouth, devours the life on this planet bit by bit.

Not being able to see the sun is undoubtedly a devastating disaster for plants.

When extremely harsh climates raged in the past, plants faced unprecedented life and death tests.

Those plants that managed to survive have mutated in order to adapt to such a harsh environment.

However, even if they have mutated and possess extraordinary adaptability, sunlight remains an indispensable key element for plant survival.

Without the warm sunshine, even these tenacious mutated plants would find it difficult to escape the fatal blow.

They struggled hard in the darkness, and their originally lively appearance gradually became listless.

The unique characteristics that were once developed to adapt to the environment have now become a heavy burden in the absence of sunlight.

Thus, in this endless darkness, the mutated plants are like lonely travelers lost in the abyss, moving step by step towards the brink of decay and death.

However, this phenomenon is not the only one. Some of the mutated plants began to undergo even more bizarre changes in the darkness.

Their branches were twisted like devil's tentacles, stretching hideously into the surrounding darkness.

The leaves became hard and sharp, with their edges flashing a chilling cold light, as if announcing their danger to the world.

In order to obtain the energy they need to survive, these mutated plants have become extremely aggressive, like a group of crazy predators.

Whenever a living creature accidentally approaches them, they will suddenly jump up.

The seemingly soft branches stretched out at lightning speed, like nimble pythons, tightly wrapping around their prey.

The force was so great that it was enough to break a strong human's bones in an instant.

The entangled people shouted and struggled in fear, but could not break free from the bondage of death.

He could only watch helplessly as his body was tightened tighter and tighter until the sound of broken bones rang out in the silent darkness, which was creepy.

Their roots emerge from the ground like sharp thorns, breaking through the soil without any warning.

The spikes are extremely sharp and can easily pierce the body of any living creature.

Whether it is a running animal or a cautiously exploring human, they may have their feet pierced by these deadly roots in an instant, and then be ruthlessly dragged into the ground to become nutrients for mutated plants.

These plants, which were originally symbols of life, have now become death traps.

Some mutated plants can even release toxic gases, which are colorless and odorless and quietly permeate the air.

When unsuspecting prey steps into this area, they will unknowingly inhale the poisonous gas, and first feel dizzy and weak in their limbs, and then their vision will go black and they will fall into a coma.

What awaits them is becoming food for the mutated plants.

These mutated plants, which underwent a second mutation during the Eternal Night period, brought even greater crisis to the survivors, who were already struggling to survive.

People travel through this dark world, and every step is filled with unknown fear.

The once familiar nature has now become so strange and dangerous that every plant may be a deadly threat.

In order to survive, the survivors have to be more cautious and stay vigilant at all times.

But even so, from time to time people encounter misfortune in this dangerous environment and become victims of mutated plants.

For ordinary crops, eternal night is an unavoidable disaster.

In such difficult times, crops are extremely scarce.

The scarcity of resources and the deterioration of the environment have made agricultural production difficult.

In the previous life, the Jinling base had gone through countless hardships and obstacles, and just before the arrival of the Eternal Night, it had made a breakthrough in crop cultivation research.

The researchers are looking forward to a bumper harvest with great joy, which will alleviate the people's long-standing food shortage.

However, fate is so cruel.

When the eternal night fell mercilessly, darkness instantly enveloped the earth, and everything changed drastically.

The once golden wheat fields no longer had the rolling wheat waves, leaving only a dead and silent darkness.

The green vegetables are no longer fresh and tender, and have lost their vitality and vigor.

In this endless darkness, crops cannot carry out photosynthesis, their growth comes to an abrupt halt, and then they wither irreversibly.

The rich farmland that once held people's infinite hope suddenly turned into a barren and dead place.

The land was cracked, overgrown with weeds, and no harvest was achieved.

All previous efforts and expectations were wiped out under the cover of eternal night.

People lost this most basic source of food, and hunger was like a hideous demon, tightly strangling everyone's throat.

Everyone was struggling on the brink of starvation and would pay any price for a bite of food.

.........

And in this seemingly endless dark abyss, the biggest threat to humanity—zombies—is even more dangerous.

They are growing more active and powerful every day.

The eternal night seemed to provide an excellent shelter for the zombies, making them feel at home and moving more agilely.

In the darkness, their figures are like ghosts, silently moving among the ruins.

Every movement is like a phantom in the dark night, difficult to capture.

Their senses have evolved to be extremely sharp in this dark environment, and they can accurately capture the traces of humans by extremely subtle sounds and almost imperceptible scents.

Even the faint sound of a human heartbeat or the inadvertent smell of body temperature can become clues for them to track.

Even the low-level, slow and sluggish zombies became as swift as lightning during the Eternal Night, leaving people defenseless.

This is because the zombies' bodies underwent terrifying changes during the Eternal Night period.

Their skin is like a layer of indestructible iron armor, becoming increasingly tough. Hitting it with ordinary weapons is like hitting a stone with an egg, and it is difficult to cause the slightest damage.

Those pairs of eyes flashed with a strange and captivating red light, as if they could penetrate the thick darkness and stare straight into people's hearts, making people feel a chill down their spines and filled with fear the moment they looked into each other's eyes.

Their teeth and claws have become sharper, like weapons that can cut through iron and mud, and can easily tear apart the defenses painstakingly built by humans.

Moreover, the evolution speed of zombies in the Eternal Night period is faster than one can imagine.

While humans are still trying to adapt to this dark world, zombies are evolving at an alarming rate.
