Chapter 778 Eternal Night Chaos

The two men on the side continued to threaten with death:

"If you don't tell the truth, you'll lose your life!"

He Qinshuang was like a lifeless puppet, not saying a single unnecessary word, just repeating "my treasure" over and over again.

The two men beat and threatened her for a while, but got no response at all.

After a while, I heard my buddies shouting from outside: "What are you doing? Did you find out anything? Hurry up! We won't be able to hold out if another wave comes!"

The two of them got anxious and increased their strength, punching He Qinshuang in the face one after another:

"Tell me! Tell me! Where is it?"

"Speak! Speak!"

He Qinshuang didn't say anything else. At the beginning, there were two muffled groans, but then there was no sound at all.

When the two men stopped beating, panting, they found that the woman's face had been hit so hard that it was sunken into her head, and she had already died.

"Damn! It's so hard to get him to answer! He was beaten to death, but he still didn't get any information!"

"Forget it, let's go quickly. If there are too many people, we won't be able to keep these two boxes of supplies. We can't return empty-handed!"

"……Walk!"

After this group of people left, several more groups of people came. When they saw the dire state of the house, they thought that someone had got there first, so they could only search it reluctantly.

Clothes, pots and pans, cardboard boxes, sofas and beds were all taken away. Even the floor was pried up.

If the mutant sweet potato had not become popular and everyone was wary of prions, the bodies of this mother and daughter would have been lost.

For the next few days, there was no daybreak.

Not only was He Qinshuang's residence in a mess, the entire base was in chaos.

The first group of people who rushed to the supermarket rushed to buy lighting products, but there were too many people and too little supply, so most of the others got nothing.

Without lighting, we are like blind people in the eternal night.

People who lost their sense of security took desperate measures and began to break into houses, pick locks, and loot in order to get more candles and fuel.

Darkness breeds evil the most.

Even those with abundant reserves are no longer content with the status quo and gradually join the melee in an attempt to grab more resources.

The residential area was in chaos.

The villa area in Annan has not been greatly affected for the time being.

The location here is already remote, and the security guards guarding the gate and patrolling outside the wall would shoot without a word if anyone approached. They were so aggressive that soon no one dared to come to the villa area.

As for lighting supplies, Ma Qiangzhuang and others acted early. Zhao Pingan and his friends had already stocked up at super low prices based on Annan's suggestion when the eternal night disaster was predicted.

Therefore, the villa area is generally stable. Although there is a tense atmosphere, it is still much better than the outside world.

In order to maintain stability, the authorities increased security patrols, but it didn't have much effect, and the panicked people were still in chaos.

Fortunately, the street lights installed earlier played a positive role and brought some light to the dark world.

But the electricity generated by wind power is limited and can only last for a few hours a day.

Taking this into consideration, the street lights were divided into groups. The 1st, 3rd and 5th street lights are group A, and the 2nd, 4th and 6th street lights are group B.

Every day, group A lights up first, and when the power of group A is supplied, group B lights up.

This model does extend the overall lighting time, but it still only adds up to seven or eight hours a day. It can only be provided during the 9-to-5 hours a day.

Moreover, due to the increased lighting distance, the lighting effect is very limited. Even when the lights are on, the streets are still dim, which is completely different from the brightly lit night before the natural disaster.

Not to mention the remaining dozen hours when the street lights weren't working and the world was completely dark.

Wherever there are people, there are cries, shouts, and begging...

There was chaos for a while.

After about a month, the weak ones were almost wiped out, the strong ones checked each other, and peace gradually returned to the base.

But it was not the peaceful tranquility of a peaceful life, but rather an unsettling tranquility that felt like a storm was about to come.

There was no one on the street, only the staff of the supermarket, the scientific research department, the agricultural department and other departments that had to operate went out on time to work. Colleagues went in groups, and no one dared to be left alone.

In the entire base, only Annan and Guzhiyu's life were not affected at all.

Eat, drink, exercise, watch movies and play games as usual.

Every day, she would sneak into the garden to tend to the flowers and plants, and look after the crops and medicinal herbs, enjoying the light to her heart's content without feeling depressed at all.

Zhao Pingan and his family were busy with love and work, and rarely came to visit them.

One day, Annan was muttering that there seemed to be no visitors at home for a long time, when the soldier guarding the gate came to report that a Professor Zheng was looking for him.

Normally, strangers approaching the inner villa would be shot directly. But Professor Zheng had a special status, an official pass, and a very polite attitude, so the gatekeeper helped him report.

"You mean, he came here just to apologize?" Annan was a little surprised.

The soldier nodded: "He said that He Qinshuang is dead, and he apologized to General Gu on her behalf for what happened in the past."

Annan wanted to chase the man away, but after looking at Gu Zhiyu who looked emotionless beside him, he changed his mind.

The news of He Qinshuang's death needs to be explained more clearly by Professor Zheng.

A-Yu does deserve an apology.

By the way, we can also find out what Professor Zheng’s situation is and whether he needs to be “eradicated”.

So Annan asked the soldiers to search the other party carefully, and the three of them met across the gate of Villa No. 1.

As soon as they met, Professor Zheng did a good job and did not mention the unpleasant things first, but reminded:

"Recently, a lot of survivors have joined the base. The atmosphere outside is not right. A riot may break out. You should be careful here too."

Then he spoke about He Qinshuang with tears in his eyes.

"Qinshuang is gone. I thought I should come and tell you."

"The night fell suddenly, and I worked overtime with my colleagues for several days... When we returned, the residential area was in chaos, with dead bodies and crying everywhere..."

"My family has been in trouble too. Qin Shuang and Sheng Hang were both killed by thugs... Those bastards were not satisfied with just stealing all our savings, they even took our lives!"

"It's all my fault. I failed to protect them..."

Gu Zhiyu just listened silently. He didn't seem to be affected by He Qinshuang's death and his emotions didn't change at all.

Annan's brows furrowed as he listened. Seeing that Professor Zheng's thoughts were in a mess, he kept venting his emotions and regretting himself, so he couldn't help but interrupt him and said:

"Professor Zheng, you two are not just an ordinary uncle and sister-in-law, right?"
