Chapter 187 Darkness, the Midnight Comes Quietly
Meng Ci also implicitly reminded Liang Xiu to stock up more lighting equipment.
Liang Xiu nodded and said that if he needed any help, he could just ask.
Meng Ci and Shen Que left Liang Xiu's office and each changed a liter of water before going home.
The two of them used this water to water the vegetables in the glass house.
After all, it is snow water, it may not be clean and will give you stomach upset if you drink it.
Then Meng Ci took out a carrot and some vegetables and fed them to the rabbit.
Because the house was too small, Meng Ci moved the rabbit hutch outside.
A circle was built in the one-meter gap between the house and the wall.
In order to prevent the rabbits from digging holes and running away, Meng Ci had someone put a layer of cement on the ground.
Meng Ci also installed a fan on the top of the rabbit hutch.
After feeding the rabbits, Meng Ci and Shen Que returned home.
The smell of urine in the house had dissipated, and Eggplant rubbed against its owner's legs to try to get into the house.
Meng Ci was still angry and kicked Eggplant out.
As a result, Eggplant set his sights on Shen Que again.
Shen Que was looking forward to Meng Ci, and it would be even more impossible to let anyone in without Meng Ci's permission.
Eggplant could only watch the door close in front of him, and then walked around the house in frustration.
When it is hungry, it stays in the rabbit hole and cries.
Of course Eggplant didn’t dare to go in and eat it. After all, if it ate it, the owner would never forgive it.
Meng Ci knew that eggplants were not afraid of heat, so he was not afraid that anything would happen to it.
Moreover, Meng Ci did not lock the door of the house, so Eggplant could open the door by itself. If it really couldn't stand the heat, it could come back by itself.
Meng Ci took out the food from the space. After the two of them ate, he left a portion for Eggplant and went upstairs to sleep.
This sleep lasted until noon of the next day.
Eggplant was still sleeping soundly in his nest. Looking at his dirty body, I guess he had a lot of fun outside last night.
There were still two days before the polar night. Meng Ci and Shen Que went out to exchange two liters of water and came back with some candles that had been put out for exchange.
Then stay at home and wait until the polar night arrives.
January 25th, 12 noon.
The residents who had been busy all night were still sleeping. Only a very few residents who had not yet gone to bed found that the bright day turned dark in the blink of an eye.
The originally quiet base suddenly became lively.
"MD, what's going on? Why is it getting dark?"
"Is this extreme heat going to end? I've had enough of this lousy weather!"
…
Originally, there were a few people talking, and as the noise grew louder, the sleeping residents slowly woke up.
Some people who haven't woken up yet are still wondering how deeply they slept and have to go back to work before they have had much rest.
Until they heard others say that the sky suddenly turned dark, they became anxious.
"When will this apocalypse end?"
"MD, my family has run out of electricity. What should I do?"
"The official electricity rate has gone up! Ten kilowatt-hours of electricity will earn you twenty points!"
"Oh my god, is this still alive?"
"It's getting dark, why hasn't the temperature dropped?"
…
Meng Ci and Shen Que lived quite far from the residential building and could only faintly hear the shouting coming from there.
Shen Que turned on the switch and the room became bright.
Because the two people knew when the polar night would arrive, they had made preparations in advance and the electrical wires in their home had been connected to the battery.
As for the curtains, Meng Ci installed blackout curtains at the beginning, so he didn't have to worry about being seen.
Meng Ci and Shen Que went to the roof.
The villa is much higher than the wall, and one can clearly see the surrounding situation.
Most of the twenty or so households in the self-built area have already turned on lights.
The nearest house had bright lights on inside and outside the building, upstairs and downstairs.
Several official office buildings in the distance were still in darkness. After all, since the extreme heat, they had been working at night, so they could think clearly in the dark.
There are also dots of light in the residential buildings.
It's just that the lights are too dim, which creates a sharp contrast with here.
Meng Ci and Shen Que took advantage of the cover of darkness to store the solar panels on the roof into the space, and then went downstairs.
Eggplant was already standing at the stairs, looking at the two masters expectantly.
Seeing Meng Ci coming down, Eggplant wagged its tail and put the food bowl in its mouth on the ground.
I touched the eggplant's belly and it was indeed flat.
Meng Ci was not a cruel person. He took out three servings of cooked noodles, added two servings of vegetarian dishes, and also opened a chicken leg and a sausage.
After Eggplant got the food, he slowly dragged the food bowl to his nest and began to eat quietly.
Meng Ci poured a glass of passion fruit with ice and lay comfortably on the sofa.
"Chen Que, remember to turn on the power grid outside!" Meng Ci reminded him.
"good."
Shen Que went out, holding a flashlight to illuminate the area and power up the power grid. Of course, he also did not forget to power up the gate.
As for the SUV in the garage outside, Shen Que was not worried.
After all, this thing consumes a lot of gasoline, and the official gasoline price is very high, so no one will rush to buy it.
The lights in the glass house and the rabbit hutch were also turned on.
The lights in these two rooms are on time, on for ten hours and off for fourteen hours.
After finishing the security facilities, Shen Que returned to the house.
Meng Ci had already finished drinking the passion fruit, and when he saw Chen Que coming in, he went straight into the space with the eggplant.
"Ouch! Ouch!"
Eggplant watched the food bowl in front of it disappear and cried out in dissatisfaction.
Meng Ci ignored Qiezi and said to Chen Que, “Chen Que, we will stay in the space for half an hour every day from now on.”
"You give Eggplant some training tasks, and we two can work out."
The new house is too small, there is no place to put the fitness equipment, and Eggplant cannot get a good training.
Before, because it was too hot outside and they lived with Liang Xiu, Meng Ci and Shen Que reduced their training.
But now it was polar night, and there were only the two of them, so training had to be put on the agenda.
"Can!"
Shen Que is a man of few words but very active. He found the counter, put it away, and then drew a circle in the open space for Eggplant to run around.
Then he brought a horizontal bar and let Eggplant practice his jumping ability.
…
Meng Ci was very confident in Shen Que, so he brought a treadmill over, warmed it up, and planned to run for half an hour today.
Since today was the first time to train Eggplant in a new place, Shen Que did not exercise.
Every time the running Eggplant came to Meng Ci, it would howl twice, complaining to Meng Ci about its owner's cruelty for not letting it eat enough.
But Meng Ci had headphones on and didn't hear Eggplant's complaints at all.
