Chapter 227: Sun and Moon Shine Together, Eternal Night Ends
After drinking for thirty minutes, Sun Haiyun became more talkative, and kept talking about the time he was with Fu Baiwei. He regretted not considering Fu Baiwei's feelings in the sewer and leaving her alone in the sewer to be bullied.
Xia Xiaoman felt a little embarrassed and wanted to make an excuse to go to the bathroom.
Before she could speak, Wang Shijin said with disdain: "Look at you, you are so miserable. You just keep hesitating all day long. You really can't bear to let her go. Why don't you just get her back? Fu Baiwei is in Fucheng, not abroad. You can see her every day if you want."
After he finished speaking, he took a sip of wine and said in a low voice, "While we are still alive, cherish the time we have together. Who knows which will come first, tomorrow or an accident?"
Xia Xiaoman noticed that the atmosphere was not right, so she said, "Why are you getting more pessimistic? The eternal night is about to end, so we should be happy..."
Before he could finish his words, Wang Shijin interrupted Xia Xiaoman and said, "My teammates are all dead."
Hearing this suddenly, Xia Xiaoman was stunned for a long time.
Wang Shijin poured a glass of wine with trembling hands, raised his head and drank it all, then poured another glass. He said to himself: "We were sent to dig the underground city... Everyone was talking and laughing, discussing that after the underground city is built, everyone will live in the same place and take care of each other..."
"It exploded suddenly. Brother Luo was smiling at me one second, and the next second he was hit by the collapsed steel, his brains were all over the floor... Brother Luo didn't even close his eyes..."
"All my teammates are dead, all dead... 30 people! I am the only one who survived..." Wang Shijin's voice became lower and lower, tears slid down his cheeks and dripped into the wine glass.
The youngest of the teammates who died was only 18 years old. Before he died, he smiled and told him that when the dungeon was built, he would bring his mother down with him...
He was rescued by the next-door team, and the wound on his face was also from that incident.
Wang Shijin wiped away his tears and said in a hoarse voice: "If you really can't let go of Fu Baiwei, go find her! Don't wait until she dies before you regret it."
On the first day of joining the army, the squad leader asked them to write a suicide note and hand it to him. If anything unexpected happened, the squad leader would send the note to their relatives.
He was young and energetic at the time, and thought that he was blessed with a good fortune and would not lose his life so easily. The suicide note he wrote was a mess, and most of it was jokes.
After walking on the brink of life and death, he realized how fragile life is. If he lets down his guard for a moment, he could die at any time.
While you are still alive, do what you want to do and try not to leave any regrets.
Xia Xiaoman knew that the explosion at the construction site of the underground city was very serious, and that many people died that day. But perhaps because she had not experienced it personally, she could not empathize with them, and she comforted them dryly: "Everyone has their own destiny. The living environment in the future may be worse. Their early death is not a kind of relief."
Wang Shijin didn't say anything, but just drank one sip after another. It was obvious that he had not yet come out of the shadow of his teammate's sacrifice.
…
After walking out of Sun Haiyun's house, Xia Xiaoman let out a long sigh.
She didn't want to see these two drunkards anymore recently.
These two people can really talk after drinking. She still feels her head buzzing. On the left is the love-hate relationship between Sun Haiyun and Fu Baiwei, and on the right is Wang Shijin's feelings for his country and his precious quotations about life.
No one told her that when a man starts to talk too much, he can be even more talkative than an old woman. It's really scary.
…
The sky was getting brighter day by day. One morning, when Xia Xiaoman went to the yard to check whether there were any rabbit holes in the ice wall, he found that the sun had already risen in the sky.
The sun was only half out, but it was still dazzling, illuminating the entire floating city. What was even more surprising was that there was a bright moon in the sky.
The eternal night ends, the sun and the moon shine together, what a beautiful and rare scene. But everyone knows that this rare scene may last for more than ten days or even dozens of days before disappearing.
As the sun came out, the ice and snow melted faster and the temperature gradually rose. More and more people moved out of the sewers, and even the government gradually moved various important departments to the ground.
After moving to the surface, people discovered a strange phenomenon: the number of steel-toothed rabbits on the surface was more than twice as many as those in the sewers.
Some people suspect that it is because the temperature has risen and the steel-toothed rabbits cannot adapt to the temperature of the ground, so they hide underground. Others speculate that it may be because of the eternal night, the steel-toothed rabbits have been in darkness for a long time. Now that the ground is brighter, the steel-toothed rabbits cannot adapt, so they burrow underground.
Whatever the reason, the fact that there are fewer ground rabbits is a good thing. They no longer have to worry about being bitten to death by rabbits in the middle of the night.
When the temperature reached around zero degrees, the sun had already fully appeared and was hanging in the sky, just like the weather around eight or nine in the morning when a natural disaster occurred.
The weather and temperature were just right, the land had just absorbed the melted snow, and the mountains and forests were gradually being dotted with green.
With the weather so suitable for planting, how could the authorities do nothing?
Before the sun had fully risen, the authorities had already selected the planting site and cultivated the seedlings, while also recruiting a large number of workers and arranging jobs for them.
When the land was ready for cultivation, the government immediately plowed and cultivated it. In addition to growing food, people were also asked to grow various vegetables, with carrots being the most common.
Carrots are rich in vitamins and can be eaten raw or dried. They are more valuable than other vegetables. Of course, the government also grows a lot of fast-growing vegetables.
In addition to providing these vegetables to the troops, they were also sold. Some were sold to the citizens of Fucheng, and the rest were taken to the next city to exchange for supplies.
Xia Xiaoman also planned to grow some vegetables, but before that, she needed to build a wall around the yard.
The ice wall built in the extreme cold has melted. If the wall is not built, the vegetables grown will either be eaten by the steel-toothed rabbits or stolen by others.
She planned to build the wall by herself. Most people are poor now, and poverty is evil. Hiring someone to build the wall at this time is equivalent to telling others that she has a lot of food at home and let others take it away.
Xia Xiaoman moved all the bricks scattered in the yard into the house. These days, even the larger stones are being snapped up, and the straight bricks left in the yard would be gone in a few days.
After moving the bricks, she took out a shovel and dug yellow mud in the yard. Then she mixed it with some loose sand and started building the wall.
"Fuck, you cripple, why don't you look at the road when you walk? Why are you running out when you are crippled? Are you causing trouble to the society?"
"Hey, what do you want to do? This is Shuiyue Bay. If you dare to do anything, just wait to be beaten to death by the people in our community! Ouch! Hiss, you, you really dare to do it! Ah!!"
Xia Xiaoman was attracted by the noise. She stopped what she was doing and looked back. Her eyes widened immediately. "Sun Qing?! What happened to your leg?"
