Chapter 363 A Completely Different Beginning

In the previous life, polar night appeared after extreme cold.

Shi Jiaojiao desperately tried to dig out the few remaining memories in her mind.

The polar night at that time looked almost the same as it does now.

But there is one biggest difference, the beginning is different.

The polar night of the previous life came slowly, just like the polar day before it.

The days are getting shorter and the nights are getting longer.

In the end, the sun disappeared completely, and the polar night began.

But this time, it was completely different.

It’s as if God no longer gives humans any buffer time.

Shi Jiaojiao looked at the moon in the sky. She didn't know what consequences this change would bring, whether it would be good or bad.

Mu Ci's voice was a little solemn: "Let's go home first."

Shi Jiaojiao nodded and took the car out of the space.

Their current location is still some distance away from the base, and it is too slow to walk there via Route 11.

If it was before, it wouldn't matter if they went slowly, just treat it as going out for a walk, but now the polar night has just begun, everything is unknown, and they have no idea where the disaster will come from.

So they had to hide back to the base as quickly as possible, as it was the only safe place there.

Although space is safer, no one is willing to waste the time they have worked so hard to save unless it is absolutely necessary.

Mu Ci sat in the driving seat and stepped on the accelerator. With a roar of the engine, the car quickly flew towards the base.

Shi Jiaojiao carefully observed the outside world through the car window.

There was darkness and dead silence everywhere, which made people feel depressed for no reason.

However, although it was pitch dark around, the car lights were still bright, and everyone had already memorized the route when they came here in the afternoon, so the journey was relatively smooth.

After driving halfway, Mu Ci turned off the car lights and slowed down in order not to attract attention.

It is now pitch black everywhere, and a little light is enough to be eye-catching, not to mention the car lights which are countless times brighter than flashlights.

They didn't drive when they left, and when they came back they couldn't explain how they managed to conjure up an intact car out of thin air.

Fortunately, the rest of the road does not require any turns. It is flat and wide, so you just need to drive straight to the end.

So even if the car lights are turned off, it will not affect traffic at all.

On the other side, all the staff in the base were also busy.

The polar night came suddenly, and they are not going to get away with it for free.

Even before many people could react, the street lights in the base lit up one by one.

Especially the light at the gate of the base.

This move indeed made the anxious survivors feel more at ease.

Mu Ci calculated the distance and stopped the car at the place closest to the base.

The distance was just right. If it was any closer, the sound of the car engine would be heard by the soldiers on duty at the gate of the base.

After Shi Jiaojiao put the car back into the space, she took out another flashlight and walked quickly towards the base with everyone.

There's no way to explain the car, but there's no need to think too much about the flashlight.

The four of them walked side by side, holding one flashlight.

However, because it was so dark, even with the illumination of flashlights, the road was still a little difficult to see clearly, so no matter how anxious we were, we did not run.

You have to know that although the area outside the base is open, it is full of sand and gravel. If you fall, even if it is not fatal, you will suffer for several days.

None of the four are people who cannot endure hardship, but the problem is, who would be willing to seek suffering if they can avoid getting hurt?

Don't get hurt right after you get home. It's just not worth it.

Along the way, Shi Jiaojiao kept her lips tightly pursed. Even though they had seen the gate of the base and the base was always strictly managed, she did not dare to let her guard down at all.

In the previous life, polar night was synonymous with crime.

Without light, everyone seemed to be able to abandon their bottom line and release the malice in their hearts without any psychological burden.

The base is safe, but don't forget that there is a group of criminals doing hard labor outside.

Although they were not evil people when they were arrested.

But who can guarantee that no one will breed evil in this darkness?

Shi Jiaojiao herself couldn't guarantee that there was no distortion in her heart, let alone these criminals with previous criminal records.

One or two may not be enough, but there is a group of them gathered around.

The other three people obviously shared his idea. Although they walked in a hurry, they were always alert to their surroundings.

Fortunately, when the polar night was about to fall, the base made quick adjustments.

All the criminals were taken away, not a single one was left behind.

When she stood at the gate of the base, Shi Jiaojiao finally relaxed.

Because Qin Jun had given notice in advance, the soldiers on duty did not make things difficult for the four people and let them pass after checking their ID cards.

The base is not as depressing as outside. There is a street lamp on every few steps.

Although the number is small and the brightness is not at its highest, it is enough for everyone to see the road clearly.

When we returned to the yard, it was already past seven o'clock in the evening.

When the lights in the living room were turned on, everyone's eyes were dazzled and some even shed a few tears.

Shi Jiaojiao squinted her eyes and took a few seconds to adjust before fully opening them.

Tang Wei sighed: "Now I feel like I am still in the human world."

Wang Jia looked at the dark world outside the window and said, "So we will live without the sun in the future?"

Shi Jiaojiao nodded, took a few glasses of juice from the space and distributed them to everyone: "If nothing unexpected happens, this should be the beginning of the polar night."

After the words were spoken, the four of them were silent for a moment.

We had just been freed from the polar day, and now we are being tortured by the polar night.

There was no night before, and there is no day now. In short, humans are not happy.

Tang Wei cursed God, then looked at the lights in the living room and suddenly asked, "Is the electricity bill going to go up?"

After saying that, he began to count their savings on his fingers.

Before, no matter it was polar day or sandstorm, the sun was always hanging in the sky, so most of the base was powered by solar energy.

But now that the sun has disappeared, other energy sources will inevitably be consumed.

There are many survivors in the base, and even if each household only uses electricity for a short while, the total consumption will be huge.

However, energy is limited and cannot be inexhaustible, especially the energy in the end times, which is extremely precious.

In order to save electricity, electricity price increase is inevitable.

But Shi Jiaojiao didn't care that much about this.

They still had a lot of points left in their ID cards, and they could also recharge their batteries from space, so the pressure wasn't that great.

Because the polar night came suddenly, everyone felt a little depressed even though the lights were on in the living room.

So Shi Jiaojiao decided to have dinner in the space, since today’s free time had not been used up yet.

After a small gathering, everyone went to see the expensive rabbit, then looked at the watermelon field, then looked at their vegetable garden and the several plots of land planted with grain, and finally petted Xiao Hei.

After walking around, the four of them felt much more relaxed.
