The darkness of the world still exists.
The world during the polar night is unsettling and lonely.
Prolonged exposure to darkness, without seeing light or even the sun, can lead to various consequences. At best, it can cause eye degeneration, eventually resulting in blindness. At worst, it can cause severe psychological problems, including depression, self-destructive behavior, irritability, loneliness, breakdown, and despair.
Human psychology and spirit can be very strong at times, but at other times they are inexplicably fragile.
Bo Shiwu just wanted the polar night to pass quickly, otherwise they would also fall into this situation.
The next morning.
When Qiao He and Bo Shiwu got up, it was still dark. Except for when they were working, they lived in complete darkness.
Qiao He sometimes felt like a fish in the deep sea, unable to see anything. Even if she saw the faint yellow light from the lamp, she would only think it was a sweet trap set by a glowing fish.
They thought they were close to the light and could see the sun, but in reality they were falling into an even more terrifying abyss.
The factories throughout the entire base were like that. Qiao He and Bo Shiwu were newcomers, so they didn't have much of a reaction yet, but the long-time employees all had indifferent expressions on their faces.
It's like he's become a machine, standing there blankly. He does whatever work the foreman gives him, and if there's no work, he just sits there in a daze, sometimes standing.
There was no smile, no emotion, no speech, no eye contact, not even a glance from others.
It's as if they have autism, sealing away their entire inner world.
As for the energetic young man who had been gathering information earlier, Qiao He asked him when he had arrived. This guy had only arrived a month earlier than them, so it was no wonder he was still chatting and laughing. He was in the midst of the novelty, and he was also a gossip, never idle. Although it was tiring here, at least it was relatively safe, and there was food to eat. The environment was so-so, but he wouldn't starve.
That's enough.
The young man joined the base for a simple reason: he really didn't want to be woken up in the middle of the night and then be too scared to sleep all night.
The constant threat of danger lurking in the shadows triggered a stress response in the young man.
At least his safety can be guaranteed in the base. As long as he works hard and does his job conscientiously, he can get a good night's sleep.
Qiao He didn't feel much; she was working while listening to the young man complain.
Suddenly, the young man said, "Hey, you know what? That factory that makes everyday goods had an accident before. Almost half of the people died! It was terrifying, tsk tsk tsk!"
Qiao He's heart stirred slightly. Wasn't that the factory that Shen Huai and the others were going to right now?
Qiao He asked him instinctively, "What's wrong? What happened over there? Is it a production accident?"
The energetic young man shook his head. "No, no, no, we told outsiders it was a production accident, but actually a superhuman went out of control and killed a lot of people. The scene was terrifying. There were bits of flesh and human tissue everywhere. Even thigh bones flew up to the ceiling and got stuck in there. We couldn't pull them out!"
Qiao He was slightly surprised. "Really? You're not kidding me, are you? There's no such thing. Aren't they all ordinary people over there? People with superpowers wouldn't go there to do that kind of work, would they?"
The energetic young man sighed, "You still don't believe me? What I said is all true. I saw it all back then. It happened recently, but everyone's used to it now. It's just that what happened before was too tragic. Some people were scared to death, and some even said they would rather die than work in a factory."
"Some ran away, some were executed, some of the survivors went crazy or even insanity, and some just disappeared without a trace. It's pretty scary. Do you have any friends working over there?" the energetic young man asked curiously.
Qiao He shook her head, "No, I was just quite surprised. Why did that superhuman lose control back then?"
The energetic young man sighed and said, "To be honest, I don't know either, I just heard..."
Qiao He said "Oh," and then added, "Okay, let's get to work quickly, or the boss will start nagging us again."
The energetic young man nodded: "That's right. I only remember that the out-of-control superhuman before was a lightning-type superhuman... He died later. It's a pity about the founder of the base."
Qiao He didn't say much; she chose to remain silent.
There was something strange about the factory, but talking to that energetic young man wasn't a good thing either. After all, the nail that sticks out gets hammered down. If the boss remembered her and started focusing all his attention on her, that would be troublesome.
Qiao He didn't want to be monitored like that all the time.
It's inconvenient for her to go on a stabbing spree at night.
The morning passed peacefully, but in the afternoon, before Qiao He had even finished eating, she heard someone shout, "Mr. Qiao is here! He's a big shot! You all better behave yourselves and don't make any mistakes in front of him."
Within minutes, Qiao Yimu appeared before everyone.
Qiao He's eyes twitched; she almost couldn't resist rushing forward and stabbing the man!
Fortunately, Bo Shiwu quickly grabbed Qiao He's arm and said to her in his mind, "Don't be impulsive, now is not the time."
Qiao He finally calmed down. After so long, when she saw Qiao Yimu again, she couldn't explain her feelings. She only had one thought in her mind: to kill Qiao Yimu as soon as possible!
Just then, Qiao Yimu suddenly said with a gloomy face, "Who's new here? All of you, step forward!"
Qiao He and Bo Shiwu exchanged a glance. It seemed that Qiao Yimu had already discovered the deaths of Bai Ying and Zhang Shulin, but they didn't know how he knew.
Qiao He's voice entered Bo Shiwu's mind, "Let's go, you burden, let's go out. No matter what he says or does, we have to endure it."
Bo Shiwu replied, "I know, you too. You must hold back."
Qiao He hummed in agreement. "I know. With you here, I'm sure I can hold back."
He suppressed the urge to kill Qiao Yimu right now.
Indeed, now is not a good time, because Qiao Yimu may have the ability to resurrect the dead, just like Zhang Chen's daughter, who seems to have been resurrected. Qiao He guesses that this is likely Qiao Yimu's doing.
Since Qiao Yuan can obtain such powerful superpowers, Qiao Yimu's superpowers will naturally be enhanced as well. What is resurrection magic? All that's needed is for Zhang Chen to have a living daughter.
Zhang Chen will work wholeheartedly for Qiao Yimu and Ye Hong!
They would never do anything to betray them.
Of course, this is just Qiao He's guess, and Zhang Chen may not necessarily have the same idea.
