Chapter 1087 Eternal Night Comes
With such a firm belief, Lu Jingcheng and his team members conducted strict searches in the Jinling base day after day.
In this way, the Jinling base, shrouded in this shadow, finally ushered in the arrival of eternal night.
.........
This day, early in the morning.
The first ray of sunshine failed to arrive as expected, and the whole world seemed to be swallowed up by endless darkness.
The night sky, as thick as ink, seemed to be solidified, pressing heavily on the earth, making people feel an unspeakable depression.
Some people who are used to getting up early woke up slowly under the influence of their biological clocks. They rubbed their sleepy eyes, but found that it was still pitch black in front of them.
There was an eerie silence in the room, as if time had stopped at that moment.
Some people were drowsy and thought the time was not up yet, so they turned over while mumbling, then closed their eyes and continued to sleep.
Some people reached out to the clock on the bedside table in confusion, and were suddenly shocked when they saw the position of the hands clearly.
It was already morning, but outside the window it was as dark as night.
The darkness was like an invisible giant hand, tightly strangling their throats and making it difficult for them to breathe.
Panic spread quickly like a plague.
The originally suitable temperature dropped unnoticed with the absence of the sun, and the cold air penetrated every pore.
The temperature remained around 10 degrees.
Some people were awakened by the cold, and they wrapped themselves in blankets with their eyes closed, trying to find a bit of warmth in the cold, while still mumbling to themselves:
"Why is it so cold? Damn the weather!"
Some people were woken up by the cold and found that the sky outside the window was still dark. They sat up in shock with their hearts pounding.
"What is going on? Why did the temperature suddenly drop?" They turned on the lights in panic, their eyes filled with fear and helplessness.
Soon, these people realized that the era of eternal night had arrived!
Some people who had made sufficient preparations in advance seemed particularly calm at this moment.
"What is coming will come. Since we cannot change it, we should face it calmly."
With this in mind, they started the new day in an orderly manner.
Those who are not ready are worried.
They paced back and forth in the room, anxious like ants on a hot pan.
"What should I do? I'm not ready yet, and the eternal night is coming. How am I going to live in the future?"
They looked at the darkness outside the window, their hearts filled with fear of the unknown and confusion about the future.
The streets and alleys, which were once bustling with activity in the morning market, are now completely silent.
The wind blew quietly, bringing a hint of chill, blowing the scraps of paper on the street corner flying everywhere.
The shop sign swayed in the wind, making a creaking sound, as if expressing its uneasiness.
From time to time, the sound of children crying could be heard from some residential buildings. The crying sounded particularly mournful in the dark and cold morning, making people feel nervous.
The parents comforted their children gently, but their eyes revealed the worry that was hard to conceal.
The entire Jinling base seemed to have been paused, falling into chaos and confusion.
However, under the cover of darkness, there are some faint lights flickering. That is the hope in people's hearts, trying to resist this sudden eternal night.
.........
At the same time, Li Luo and his family came out of the space on time.
When their eyes focused on the darkness outside the window, they immediately realized that eternal night had arrived.
Sure enough, as expected.
Not long after, the steady and calm voice of an official staff member came over the base's radio:
"Dear residents, please do not panic. The eternal night has come, but our Jinling base has already made full preparations. At present, the base's energy supply system, food reserves and protective facilities are operating normally and stably. Please continue to maintain a normal life order and try to reduce unnecessary outings. At home, pay attention to saving energy and arrange diet and rest properly. When going out, be sure to travel with friends and keep warm. I believe that with the joint efforts of all of us, we will be able to smoothly get through this special period."
The broadcast lasted for more than ten minutes, and the steady voice echoed in every corner of the base.
At first, people held their breath and listened carefully to every word, as if it was the only guidance in the darkness.
When the broadcast ended, the originally tense and chaotic atmosphere seemed to be gently smoothed by an invisible big hand, and finally felt a little relieved.
In many homes, people seemed to have unloaded a heavy burden. They all breathed a sigh of relief, and their frowns slowly relaxed.
Someone said to the sleepy and confused family members:
"You heard me, the base is prepared. We are not afraid. We can live our lives as usual."
As soon as they finished speaking, they got up with a sense of relief and began to prepare for the new day.
In another home, the child clutched the quilt tightly, his eyes full of tension and anxiety.
The mother had a gentle look on her face. She smiled and gently touched the child's head, comforting him in an extremely gentle voice:
"Don't worry, baby, everything will be fine. Let's get up and eat something."
After saying that, the mother quickly opened the wardrobe and carefully selected thick clothes for her child to wear today.
In other families, the couple looked at each other after listening to the radio, and the anxiety that had originally filled each other's eyes gradually dissipated like smoke.
The husband stretched out his arm, gently put it around his wife's shoulders, and said in a soothing tone:
"It's okay, let's just live our normal lives."
Then, the two of them stood up together as if they had telepathy and began to tidy up the somewhat messy bed.
The husband vigorously shook the sheets flat, while the wife carefully arranged the pillows. Their movements were coordinated and natural, and they prepared in an orderly manner to greet this new day that seemed unusual but they had to try to return to normal.
.........
Li Luo looked natural after listening to the broadcast, and did not have much emotional fluctuations about the news of the coming of eternal night.
Because she knew that the Jinling base in this life had been fully prepared, so the chaos like in the previous life would definitely not occur.
There was determination and calmness in her eyes, as if she had expected all this.
At this time, Li Luo's family were sitting in the living room, talking about their plans for today.
Tang Mingcheng took a sip of the steaming hot tea, cleared his throat, coughed lightly, and said:
"Ah Qing and I plan to go to our Taodou Group's base to hold a meeting with everyone about the issue of the eternal night. This is no small matter, and we must all be united in our thinking and be prepared to deal with it. Our Taodou Group is now the backbone of the base, and we must play our due role during this special period and must not lose our composure."
