Chapter 236 Entering the Eternal Night
"It's really dark!" Lu Lin exclaimed, walking to the window. "It's been so long since I last saw the dark night. I really miss it."
Yang Qing also walked over and looked at the dark sky. "Why does it feel like this darkness is a little abnormal? Could it be that the eternal night has arrived?"
"Don't be such a pessimist!" Lu Lin rolled her eyes at her. Polar day was fine, at least work and life could go on normally. But if it was eternal night and it was dark every day, how could she bear it?
There will be more crazy people.
Yang Qing smiled awkwardly, "I just said it casually. Bah, bah, the bad ones don't work but the good ones do!"
Everyone slept well that night, it was rare to get a full night's sleep.
The next day, the alarm clock rang at eight o'clock. Yang Qing got up and opened the curtains as usual. It was still dark outside.
"Oh my god, it can't really be an eternal night?" Yang Qing screamed.
Leng Yi had just woken up, so he looked out the window and said seriously, "It seems to be true!"
Everyone got up and looked at the still dark sky outside. "What should we do now? Do we still have to go to work?"
"Go as normal and follow the leader's arrangements." Leng Yi said, "You should be more careful now, as there are more people stealing in the dark."
"Yes!" Lin Feng and Li Liang both nodded.
After breakfast, everyone went to work with flashlights.
Yang Qing wanted to go to the medicine garden to take a look, but Assistant Xu came to find them and said, "Leader Hao wants you to go to his office."
The two went to Hao Zhiguo's office together. It was broad daylight and the lights in the office were on, as if it was still night.
Xie Yunfang, Bian Chengjun, Chen Rou and Zhang Ke were all there.
Chen Rou and Zhang Ke have been busy in the medicine garden in the past few months. Chen Rou doesn't pay much attention to Zhang Ke, but Zhang Ke has become more friendly to her.
He understood that Yang Qing would not like him anymore, as her relationship with Leng Yi was so good that he couldn't get involved.
When he saw Chen Rou's excellence, he turned his attention to her.
But Chen Rou had already become disheartened, closed her heart to love, and only wanted to focus on her career.
The two people's positions were reversed.
"Now that you're here, come and sit down. Let's talk about something." Hao Zhiguo asked Yang Qing and Leng Yi to sit down together.
"As you can see, the weather has entered a perpetual darkness. We will face only darkness every day from now on. Fortunately, the epidemic is under control. This is a blessing in disguise."
"So now Teacher Xie and Teacher Bian have decided to return to the provincial capital..."
Yang Qing looked at the two of them in surprise, and they nodded at her in affirmation.
"Teacher Xie wants you to go to the provincial capital with her. What do you think, Miss Yang?" Hao Zhiguo looked at Yang Qing.
Yang Qing was surprised and looked at Xie Yunfang, "Teacher Xie, you want me to go to the provincial capital?"
"Yes, you are my student, and I have high hopes for you. I am no longer needed for work here, so I have decided to go back," Xie Yunfang said. "Of course, I will still respect your opinion. If you want to stay and work here, that's fine too."
"You've already mastered the basics of medical theory, pulse diagnosis, and acupuncture. In fact, you can already become an independent physician."
"Of course, it would have been impossible in the past. It would have taken several years. But now it's the end of the world, and there's a severe shortage of doctors. You can use the medical knowledge you've learned to help others. Just don't blindly treat those you don't understand. It's completely fine for minor illnesses and minor disasters."
"Of course, there is another option. Let's listen to what Leader Hao has to say." Xie Yunfang looked at Hao Zhiguo.
"Another thing is that Xia City has begun reconstruction," Hao Zhiguo said. "Actually, reconstruction work began three months ago. However, because Xia City was so completely destroyed by the tsunami, only a new urban area was designated for reconstruction."
"I might be transferred back to Xia City, so you can come back with me. If you're willing to work with me, I can arrange for you to work in the New City Administrative Center."
"If you don't want to follow me, there's another option, which is to exchange your points for a house. This time it's a house with permanent ownership. As long as you have enough points, you can get the title certificate."
"Houses are divided into suites and villas in ordinary buildings, so of course the points are definitely different."
"Regular suites start at 10,000 points, and there are two or three bedrooms, with different points. Villas start at 50,000 points, and the points also vary based on size and number of floors."
"Such a high score?" Yang Qing was surprised. In the past, 500 points were considered high to enter the official base. Now the starting point is 10,000. Who can afford it?
Hao Zhiguo smiled helplessly, "Yes, there is a threshold. People with more points have better material conditions and are relatively more qualified, making them easier to manage."
"There are limited houses to build in the new urban area. It's impossible to cater to everyone. It's first come, first served. There's nothing we can do about it."
"But this is only Phase 1. There may be Phases 2 and 3 later. Phase 2 is already laying the foundation. Phase 1 is almost topped out. If you want, you can start preparing."
"Because the second phase is under construction, we are in great need of building materials. If we have these supplies, that would be even better. We can redeem them for points first. This way, we will get more points, which is easier than taking thousands of kilograms of food."
Yang Qing smiled bitterly, "Building materials are harder to come by than food, right? How can ordinary people find building materials without a car?"
"So there's a threshold." Hao Zhiguo was also helpless. "There's nothing we can do. This is how the end of the world is. Whoever has the ability can live a good life."
"You guys go back and think about it. We still have time. The first phase will be completed in a month." Xie Yunfang said, "Or you can come back to the provincial capital with me?"
Yang Qing frowned, "But I still have my husband and three friends. I can't abandon them."
If they follow Xie Yunfang, they must be practicing traditional Chinese medicine, and their work cannot be arranged casually like it is now.
Besides, Xia City is her hometown. If possible, most people would not want to leave their hometown, right?
In her previous life, she had been wandering outside for too long. She wanted to enter the base but couldn't. She had been drifting outside and had no sense of belonging.
It would be great to have your own home in the last days.
"You can go back and discuss it and think about it carefully. Teacher Xie and the others will return to the provincial capital in three days." Hao Zhiguo said.
Chen Rou suddenly stood up and said, "Teacher Bian, I want to stay or go to Xia City with Leader Hao."
"What?" Lian Chengjun was shocked. "You're not going back to the provincial capital?"
Zhang Ke was also surprised, "Why do you want to stay?"
Chen Rou smiled and said, "I think Leader Hao's research center is very good. It has a specialized planting project that is very suitable for me."
"Now that we have entered eternal night again, I can work with them to study the possibility of growing plants under eternal night conditions."
Zhang Ke was a little anxious. "We can still do research if you return to the provincial capital. The conditions at the school are no worse than here."
Bian Chengjun was a little relieved that this student finally knew what he wanted.
Moreover, he has seen her performance in the past six months, which is much better than when she was in school, which means that this place is more suitable for her.
Besides, the apocalyptic school is no longer running and you can’t get a diploma from it. If you can continue working in a research center, you will be a real researcher. Isn’t that a way out?
