Chapter 93 The Eternal Night
Zhao Jian's eyes were red, and so were his soldiers. They were originally Fang Wenting's guard team, and they understood a lot of things.
Naturally, he understood the preciousness of the Marrow Cleansing Pill, and also understood how important the thought behind these 10 carts of food was.
So he said, "Don't worry, Miss Hou, we will definitely return safely in two months at most!"
After Zhao Jian and the others left the base, Yin Shan walked out of the villa and said, "Eternal night is coming soon. There will be no daylight for at most half a month. We must hurry to install street lights. The dangers faced during eternal night are far greater than at other times."
There's no need to keep the walls open for now. Our mutant beasts are enough for defense.
In addition, let Xiao Teng build the other two warehouses tomorrow, and continue to build the small building, otherwise Zhao Jian and the others will have nowhere to live when they come back.
You can put up a list of appliances and other items for redemption on the notice board. We don't need them anyway, so you can let residents come and redeem them.
Have Wang Qiang quickly count the points and assign tasks to the new residents!"
Logically, the lights on the base might attract mutant beasts or other people to the base. However, the base's fortifications were both offensive and defensive, so she wasn't really worried about the defense.
Instead, we are more worried that the long-term darkness will cause psychological problems for the residents. Long-term lack of exposure to sunlight can easily make people irritable and all negative emotions can be easily stimulated.
Even if no other species attacks the base at that time, chaos may break out inside the base.
In the early morning of the second day, the temperature plummeted to 20 degrees Celsius, and many of the survivors in City D came down with a cold, accompanied by fever and cough. Initially, it was only one or two people who became infected, but after just one day, half of the original survivors in City D were infected.
On the contrary, the original residents of her base were not infected due to long-term contact with the water of Linghu Lake.
Zhou Yun and Wang Lu immediately arranged for the survivors in City D to be isolated. Their exposure to the Spirit Lake water was too short for it to have a significant effect.
Yin Shan arranged for the original residents to continue working, while asking them to pay attention to their own changes. On the other hand, he also needed to comfort the emotions of the survivors in City D.
As the nights grew longer, everyone in the base felt a change. They wished they could squeeze out 25 hours out of the 24 hours a day. Zhou Yun and others were also busy. They finally developed a special medicine. Combined with Yin Shan's spiritual lake water, the body temperatures of most infected people began to drop, and their body functions began to gradually recover.
Half a month passed in a flash, and the survivors in City D were still under quarantine and observation. Fortunately, street lights and other houses had been built.
On the second day, the sun seemed to be swallowed by darkness, and no trace of light could be seen. Some faithful residents climbed up the city wall, and except for the interior of the base, the entire city was shrouded in darkness.
Yin Shan told everyone not to go up to the city wall easily, so as to avoid being attacked by unknown mutant beasts.
The base is as big as a small town, so even if people can't go out for a walk, they won't feel suffocated.
Besides, the apocalypse has been going on for so long that everyone is used to staying at the base, and no one wants to go out and face unknown risks.
Hou Ting suggested: "Long periods of darkness can disrupt people's daily routines. We should still pay attention to our biological clocks. When it's late at night, the street lights should be dimmed.
It would also be best to resume morning exercises, which would not only help with physical exercise but also keep everyone's sleep and rest schedules regular."
Yin Shan nodded, accepting her suggestion, and then joked: "Oh, my monkey finally knows how to give suggestions."
Hou Ting put her hands on her hips and laughed, "I'm a psychology expert! This is my area of expertise!! Of course I'll have opinions!"
Wang Lu: mdZZ…..this child is hopeless…
Ji Yang: Wasn't Shanshan just insulting her? Have I been out of touch with society for too long?
Guan Yunhua: Why does this child’s IQ keep dropping?
Yin Zhiwen; This child is beyond saving...
Everyone joked for a while, and Wang Lu said seriously, "The illness of the residents of City D has been completely controlled this time. The main reason is that their immunity is too low, and the lava eruption has brought some viruses. That's why our special medicine is effective, but Linghu water is indeed one of the core ingredients of the special medicine, so Zhou Yun is adjusting the prescription. Several young survivors did not use the special medicine and voluntarily accepted another treatment method.
The main reason is that Zhou Yun estimated that other bases would also have this situation, and the traditional Chinese medicine used to treat this illness might be very basic. I think most bases would have some as long as they paid attention to collecting supplies before.
It will probably take about a week.”
Yin Shan nodded and said, “I don’t know about other bases, but there should be some medicines in Kyoto, City A, and City B, but I don’t know how many.
But we are only researching prescriptions; we are currently unable to grow medicinal herbs on a large scale."
What Yin Shan didn't say was that her base was not short of medicinal materials, so the Chinese medicines grown in her Vitality Farm were limited, but this illness did remind her.
There is still a need for large-scale cultivation of Chinese medicinal materials. Western medicines will become less and less available in the future. After all, it is impossible to resume the production of Western medicines in a short period of time.
"Ding, base infrastructure construction has been detected to be complete. The automatic light shielding system is activated: the lights of this base will be invisible to the public except for the residents and team members."
Yin Shan's eyes lit up. This way, all the searchlights on the city wall could be turned on, so that guards could be arranged to observe the situation outside the base at any time.
Although the system and mutant beasts can ensure that the base can detect external attacks in a timely manner, they cannot guarantee that people or animals without malicious intentions will not approach the base.
You should know that a person's goodness and evil are only a matter of thought, and a difference in thought can often change a lot.
Yin Shan immediately made arrangements: "Fengzi, all the people with special abilities and residents will be divided into shifts to guard the city walls. If there are any outsiders or mutant beasts, give a timely warning. In addition, turn on the searchlights on the city walls to prevent Zhao Jian and his men from finding their way back.
In addition, we will resume the resident training system. Everyone needs to improve their physical fitness. We are not short of food, and we don't need residents to work for us on an empty stomach every day. However, everyone needs to improve their physical fitness. When necessary, I need everyone to be a warrior who can fight a tough battle! "
Tang Xiao ran in and said, "Sister Shan! Many of the original residents of our base have fainted. Their symptoms are similar to those of awakening superpowers. Zhou Yun and the others are busy researching medicinal herbs and can't get away. Do you and Sister Lu want to go check on them?"
Yin Zhiwen said: "Wang Lu and I will go!"
Yin Shan said, "Dad, your powers were much stronger when they awakened, and you have much more experience in upgrading them than I do. I'll leave this group of new psychics to you."
Yin Zhiwen nodded. He had been silent for too long. Yin Shan always subconsciously thought that he was still the father with poor health, so she and Guan Yunhua were the first to rush to the front in many things.
He also wanted to do what he could for his daughter.
Yin Shan saw what Yin Zhiwen was thinking, so he said, "Dad, I feel more at ease with you at the base! Besides, Mom and I have revealed too much of our strength to the outside world, so we need a very useful trump card. You are that trump card."
Yin Zhiwen smiled, patted his daughter's shoulder and said, "Don't worry, leave it to Dad! No matter what, Dad will always be there to support you!"
Yin Zhiwen was not good at speaking, and when it came to Yin Shan's education, he only gave her some general directions before saying anything more. But Yin Shan had always known that her father was a very steady and reliable man.
That's why she dared to be so unscrupulous.
Yin Shan said, "I really need time to digest the abilities I gained from this battle. Dad, I'll leave the outside world to you and Mom.
A wave of mutant beasts has already hit City D, and there's a good chance it will happen again, so we still have to be careful."
Yin Zhiwen gave Yin Shan a soothing look and turned around to get busy.
