Chapter 101 The Dawn of Eternal Night
"Anything can happen in a dream: nothing's happened for so many days, so it should be fine, right? It's just that the monsters and zombies have gotten stronger."
"30-year-old single's typing speed: It seems like we have more body sacs here. Our base is organizing manpower to clean them up."
"fofo: Really? Then all the supplies I stockpiled won't be useless, right? I'm willing to trade a permanent blueprint for a refrigerator."
Mickey Bear: Envious. Refrigerators are so expensive, I can't afford one at all. The ingredients are also hard to collect. I need to stockpile medicine too, sigh…
"Level 1 Disability: Improved basic healing potion, DM me if interested!"
"Crayon Yang: It's not that simple. Food expires after a while, and if you're not careful, it will expire and become food scraps. If it weren't for the fact that we could sell it at a low price to use as farmland and fertilizer, the losses would be even greater."
"Mickey Bear: @Level 1 Disabled Person, could you make the price a little cheaper? I've sent you a private message."
"Alaskan Wolf: Five-Faction Base is now recruiting players! Excellent benefits and 5 large groups to choose from. A free cabin is included with every registration! @Everyone"
"Swords don't discriminate: How can we provide better treatment? Most players probably have cabins to live in now."
"May you live a peaceful life: Many recruitment bases are hiring lately."
"Mole House: Because every player is a combatant, the base not only needs to stockpile resources but also increase its combat power."
"No work, no work: Your White Moon Base has no worries, you have mercenaries, as long as the mercenaries are still strong. You also have an arms factory, so you have enough weapons."
"I don't want to study: But weapons at our base are rationed, and each person can only buy a limited number. When we get new weapons, we have to take the damaged ones back to the armory for recycling."
The night was quiet, and the orange-red light shone through the curtains, making Jiang Baiyue's face look rosy.
As she sat on the bed organizing the supplies in the warehouse, she glanced at the chat area a few times.
She hadn't checked the discussion forum for several days and needed to catch up on the latest developments.
Seeing that someone mentioned there were more body sacs near the base, Jiang Baiyue thought for a moment and added another body sac cleanup mission to the control panel in the mission hall.
The mission rewards consist of weapons and medicines from the armory, and she also limited each person to accepting more than one mission per day.
The increase in the number of body sacs may not be accidental; it could be a change caused by the fermentation of a disaster.
If we guess right, it's a way to eliminate potential hazards in advance; if we guess wrong, it's like giving residents a benefit so they can stock up on medicine, and it also helps some solo players generate some income.
"Mud Fairy: Everyone, please don't stay out in the wild at night! It's terrifying, the nocturnal monsters are getting harder and harder to fight. They've been attacking us all night."
"Mud Immortal: It feels like fire and light are less effective against night monsters."
"Qingsongyu Bai: Our team was also attacked by night monsters in the dungeon."
"30 years of single life and hand speed: ?? That can't be right. Aren't there no night monsters in the dungeon?"
"Ball #7: I know a team that stayed at the hunter camp and they were wiped out last night. I still can't believe it; at least the camp is no longer safe."
"Fishing Light: The camp is no longer safe. Last time we fought fiercely all night, and if we hadn't encountered a powerful figure, we wouldn't have escaped. The night monsters will keep attacking until dawn."
Jiang Baiyue nodded with lingering fear. If it hadn't been dawn, those tireless night monsters would have devoured them all.
The hardest part about dealing with the night monsters is that physical attacks are ineffective against them; you can only use supernatural abilities.
If the Night Stalkers really attack the base... will the shield be able to protect against them?
If not, then we're in trouble, since nighttime lasts for 12 hours.
Jiang Baiyue looked at the workbench where a refrigerator was being made and opened the chat for "Rainy Day Without an Umbrella".
"Lying Flat Salted Fish: I have the blueprints for lighting tools. I'll share them with you, and I'll provide the materials. Can you help me make a batch? [Screenshot.jpg]"
"Not using an umbrella in the rain: That's fine. I've been thinking about how to save wood lately. A lot of trees around my base have been cut down, and the newly planted saplings will take some time to grow."
"No umbrella in the rain: fluorescent fruit, where did you get it? We don't have this material here."
"Lying Flat Salted Fish: [Trade - Fluorescent Street Lamp *1] The materials were collected from the underground cave, and there are also seeds. I'll send you some seeds together, you can see if you can plant them."
"Lying Flat Salted Fish: I still have fluorescent light caps here. I can sell you some if you need them when my workbench is free."
"No umbrella in the rain: Do you have enough in stock? I'll pre-order 10."
Jiang Baiyue sent her the materials for making fluorescent streetlights, and also sent her three fluorescent lamp caps.
This thing provides even longer illumination than a miner's helmet, and it can be repaired simply by using bottled water on a workbench when the light is dim.
She has a condenser, and compared to a miner's hat, a fluorescent hat is more material-efficient.
After all, batteries can be used for other purposes.
The discussion forum is still filled with talk of the Night Stalker, and more and more people are sharing their experiences and encounters with it.
Everyone is brainstorming and trying to come up with a feasible way to deal with the night-stalking monster.
"Silver Clay: Actually, I've noticed that almost every nocturnal monster is connected to the shadows, but that time it was nighttime, so my guess isn't very based on anything."
"Fishing Light: I've only noticed that the Night Stalkers aren't actually that afraid of fire, but light does cause them some damage. Players with fire-type abilities should have an easier time dealing with the Night Stalkers."
"No work, no work: Those bewitched by the Night Stalker will turn into monsters. There's actually a hunter's camp in a quarantine zone near us, and we even happened to meet a hunter there. That hunter revealed that those who can't resist the temptation will become one of the monsters."
"Sunflower: The Night Stalker is also quite intelligent; it will shield its companions from the light."
"I don't like passion fruit: This is too hard! This game is trying to kill us. I've heard from many people who have gone out that the resources at resource points are getting fewer and fewer. The amount of resources at a resource point is not even as good as it was after the three-day newbie period."
"The sea is immeasurable: @FishingLights!! What, what should we do? Did she suggest any solutions?"
"No work, no work: No. We figured it out ourselves, and we try to keep our stress level below 30 when facing nocturnal monsters."
"Love is a light: it's complicated. Disaster may have already struck; it's a nocturnal monster. This is a new disaster."
Seeing this, the lazy bum thought, "If that's really the case, then hiding in the base will keep me safe."
However, although she hadn't returned to the base or checked the chat area in the past few days, she hadn't heard a single player mention the Night Stalker attack on the base.
So it shouldn't be that simple.
Jiang Baiyue opened the World Chat section and found that it hadn't been updated in a long time.
Based on the few latest news reports available, several zones have already entered the next disaster period.
Some areas are extremely hot, some are extremely cold, some are related to insect plagues, and some areas have seen the appearance of a monster that can rob people of their voices.
The next morning, the sky was pitch black. Jiang Baiyue's hands, hanging at her sides, trembled uncontrollably. She immediately looked at the time in the communication area—06:16 at night.
