Eternal Night+□□
"Open the door and check!"
He's not a community security guard, he's a security guard.
Jiang Miao was awakened by a rude knock on the door. He rubbed his forehead, got up, walked to the yard, opened the small window on the door, and asked unhappily, "Who are you?"
The guard showed the search warrant: "Search under orders, please cooperate, Miss Jiang."
The search warrant was stamped with Wang Gao’s personal seal, and the handwriting was hastily and sloppily written, which showed that he took it very seriously.
After all, a deputy base commander died, but the things in his hands strangely disappeared. Anyone would be anxious.
Jiang Miao tactfully opened the door and pretended to be curious and couldn't help asking: "What happened?"
"Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask." The guard simply searched from the first floor to the second floor. Not seeing a large amount of supplies belonging to the deputy base commander's family, he did not conduct a detailed search.
One of the guards came over to take notes: "Did you encounter any unusual people or things last night and this morning?"
"No." Jiang Miao pointed at the unwashed dishes and yawned, "I drank a little last night and slept soundly."
Perhaps the guards received some instructions, so they walked around the house, saw that there was nothing suspicious, and then left.
After Jiang Miao sent them away, he locked the door and went back to sleep.
Deputy base commander Kang Weiguo died. The cause of death is a bit difficult to talk about. Chen Dafa, who escaped that night, became the number one suspect. After being wanted by the Ancheng base and sent to all official bases across the country, he will never have the chance to enter the base again.
Those women who hid in the base and tried to get away with it were also pulled out one by one.
After all, she was a woman who was sent to the superior to enter the inner circle. Even if she didn't have to find out her ancestors for three generations, she would at least know her specific name.
Chen Dafa's remarks at the time were just a stopgap measure, meant to appease them and buy himself time to escape.
The police station interrogated the five women separately and the confessions they obtained were basically the same. However, the only forensic intern in the police station judged that there was something fishy about the death of Deputy Base Commander Kang.
However, due to the harsh conditions, the lack of testing equipment and his own lack of experience, he could not accurately determine the cause of death.
In addition, in order to let her son rest in peace, Mrs. Kang firmly opposed opening the body for a more detailed autopsy, so the matter ended up being left unresolved.
Chen Dafa left with his son and supplies, and the 39 villas he lived in became empty. The base commander personally auctioned them off, and the remaining money was used to subsidize the widowed Kang family.
"Hey, Boss Xiang." Jiang Miao was surprised as he looked at the back of the man directing the people to move the furniture. "You took the bid for Building 39."
Xiang Jie had made a little money from the curtain business some time ago. The money he had was just enough to buy a villa, and the rest he had to make do with, so he didn't have too much luggage.
"Indeed, after all, it's safer to live in a single-family house here, so it's worth spending a little more money." Jiang Miao lent a hand, "Let me help you, let's go."
"Okay, that's troublesome." Xiang Jie's younger brother walked in front, and the two fell behind slightly until they were four or five steps apart. Then they spoke at the same time: "That little pill..."
Jiang Miao coughed lightly: "You speak first."
Xiang Jie asked quickly: "I heard that the deputy base commander died in bed. Could it be related to our little pill?"
The word "we" was used very cleverly. At least it conveyed to Jiang Miao that she would not put all the blame on him, so she did not play any tricks: "It should be. I heard that among the five women that night, the deputy base commander might have eaten more than one pill."
Xiang Jie was frightened for a moment, and she continued to comfort him: "But the culprit has already escaped with his crime, and it has nothing to do with us anymore."
Yes, he and the deputy base commander had a private transaction. As long as he didn’t say anything, no one would know what they bought and sold.
As they were talking, the two of them walked to the door of Building 39 and were surprised to find that the main door at the entrance was scratched to pieces, the front door was wide open, and almost everything inside had been robbed!
The two were shocked. Who was so bold as to rob in broad daylight in the residential area where they lived in the base?
"Boss! Our house was robbed!"
The younger brother came running over, grunting, looking unfriendly to Jie, and said through gritted teeth: "I'm not blind!"
"That's clearly not what we saw at the auction!"
"Did someone do something?"
Several younger brothers were filled with righteous indignation and wanted to call the police, but when the police came they just registered a report and did no follow-up action.
After all, not everyone can enter the Wuba Community, let alone move so many things away. It must have been done by someone within the community.
The most powerful people in the entire base live here. They can't afford to offend just one or two of them, so they are powerless and can only deal with things perfunctorily.
Xiang Jie was really angry.
Because I saw that the new house had tables, chairs, beds, and cabinets at the auction, I was too lazy to move the extra ones at home, so I just gave them to my brothers who still needed these things.
Now it was like this place had been robbed, nothing was left, and everything that couldn't be taken away had been chopped up, so where would he sleep? Where would he live?
He can't just shamelessly ask his brothers to get the things back. Where would he put his face as the big brother?
Jiang Miao suggested asking the security guards in the community. It is impossible for the patrolling security guards not to know about such a big commotion.
But the security guards always treated people differently according to their circumstances. Knowing that the new resident was just a small businessman with no background, they didn't have the patience to care and sent him away with a simple "I didn't see anything".
I suffered a loss and couldn't find a place to complain, so I was so angry that I couldn't do anything to my boss. However, I had little influence and I had just moved in, so I could only swallow my anger and make an introduction later.
Jiang Miao noticed something was wrong.
All the people living in the 58th District are important figures in the base. All the valuables in Building 39 had already been taken away by Chen Dafa, and they had enough living supplies at home. Why did they do this?
Afterwards, she asked Li Chongyu, who had been on duty for the past two days, and found out that it was Grandma Kang who brought the maid to rob. The security captain also told them to keep their mouths shut and not talk nonsense.
Jiang Miao was speechless.
After Kang Weiguo died, the base commander not only waived the property fees, water and electricity bills, but also gave him many welfare subsidies. The deputy base commander also received his allowance as usual, and also received a large pension. Logically, his life should not be difficult, so why did they have to rob him like this?
I don't understand.
But after all, it was a matter between their two families, so Jiang Miao just told Xiang Jie the truth. As for whether he wanted to go to the base commander to seek justice, that was his own business.
After returning home, Jiang Miao watered the vegetables in the field, sprinkled some fertilizer, picked the cucumbers that had already grown in another place, wrapped them in newspaper and prepared to give some to Su Le and Fei Fei tomorrow.
The next day, Jiang Miao was taking care of her hydroponic vegetables on the second floor when she seemed to hear a quarrel outside. She went to the roof of the second floor, took out a telescope and saw that it turned out that Xiang Jie had gone to the base commander to ask for an explanation.
Old Mrs. Kang is extremely powerful in combat, and her voice has great penetrating power. Even the inner circle half a block away from here can be attacked by her high-pitched sound waves.
I couldn't make out what they were saying through the telescope. I only saw Old Mrs. Kang rolling on the ground like a madman.
She said that the elderly people who survived the previous natural disasters would not have poor health.
Gradually, a lot of people gathered outside the inner courtyard. At that time, a fence was used here to make it look good, but now it is a benefit to these people who come to watch the show.
Jiang Miao patted his belly.
After dinner, she felt bloated so she went for a walk to digest the food. After all, both families had some connection with her, and it was not easy to watch the fun safely in the doomsday.
"You should go out for a walk." Su Heng used an affirmative tone, as if accusing him of not calling him first. On normal days, he should at least be polite and ask him if he wants to go.
"Well, I'm not taking a walk, I'm going to see the fun. Do you want to join me?"
"Walk."
...There's no need to answer so bluntly.
The two of them came to the outside of the inner circle together. Jiang Miao directly enjoyed VIP treatment. He followed Su Heng to the front and was invited in by the base commander.
There are even chairs where you can sit and watch the fun.
There has always been a legend about this immortal in the base, but Building 58 never opens its doors to welcome visitors. The cold and indifferent attitude makes it difficult for people to show their respect to him, so gradually, everyone gives up asking for the rejection.
Therefore, the immortal's immortal talent has been passed on by those who have seen it, and this is the first time for most people to see it.
He is tall and slender, with a handsome appearance and an immortal air. When he sits there, he looks completely different from the people around him.
All the old ladies, young girls and wives present stared with their eyes wide open. They were wondering whether they were watching the fun or the immortal. They were so busy that they couldn't keep their eyes from being fully occupied!
Jiang Miao leaned close to Su Heng's ear and whispered, "Remember what I told you, just watch the fun and don't make a sound, follow my lead and act accordingly."
In the small garden, Xiang Jie still insisted on his statement: "If it was taken by the Kang family, why don't we just search their house? Old lady, what shameful things do you have in your house that even the base commander's guards can't go there!"
Mrs. Kang obviously recognized Jiang Miao as the man who beat her son that night. She sat on the ground and cried loudly: "My son! My son, why did you die so early and so unjustly? As soon as you died, these people came to bully us orphans and widows, wanting our lives and stealing our things. When you see these evil people in the underworld, can you still close your eyes?"
Xiang Jie really couldn't bear this loss in silence, so he took advantage of today's day off to come to the base commander to ask for an explanation.
But who could have thought that the deputy base commander's mother would be such a person. She wouldn't listen to reason and just kept throwing tantrums and acting like she was being bullied by him!
He really felt unlucky. If he had known this would happen, he would have just swallowed the loss. It was just a matter of spending more money on furniture and home furnishings. Could there be something that a middleman like him couldn't get?
"Mrs. Kang, you said someone wanted to steal your things. Who is it?" Jiang Miao didn't think that this old woman was completely innocent, as she could bring out a beastly trash like Kang Weiguo and a little devil like Young Master Kang.
"Stop talking, you little bitch!" Mrs. Kang suddenly changed her tone to a vicious one. "What are you doing here? Is this courtyard for a bitch like you?"
Jiang Miao deliberately provoked her with a few words: "Before the end of the world, Boss Xiang was an employee of my company. Today, I saw that my old subordinate was wronged, so I came to ask Grandpa Wang to give me justice. Is that not okay?"
Sure enough, he is not a good person! He just wants to cause trouble for their family!
Old Mrs. Kang's eyes flashed, and she uttered all kinds of ugly and dirty words, which made Wang Rong, who was watching the show nearby, feel embarrassed. But this old woman still didn't give up!
“Enough!” Wang Gao’s expression became more and more impatient. He stood up with his hands behind his back to appease him: “Weiguo is my old subordinate. You have seen how I have treated him as a brother over the years. How about you not make things difficult for me today?
Let me send someone to take a look and prove your family's innocence, and then I will punish the person who slandered and spread rumors. What do you think?"
As the base commander, Wang Gao was being extremely polite in what he said. A normal person would have walked down the stairs even if they couldn't bring themselves to do so.
But Mrs. Kang is obviously not a normal person.
"Xiao Gao, it's not that I don't want to, you know your brother was over 40 years old when he had a son! He's spoiled like a jewel and he's not in good health, the family never lets outsiders in, for fear of scaring him! You tell me, with all this going on now, if he gets scared and gets sick again, how can I, an old man, live?"
Old Mrs. Kang refused to let anyone into the house to take a look no matter what, even though many people saw her taking the maid to Building 39 to move things and smash the house. However, there was no surveillance and only witnesses but no physical evidence, so nothing could be done to her.
Jiang Miao supported his chin and suggested: "Then you can ask the base commander to go to his home to take a look. Grandpa Wang is not an outsider, right?"
After hearing this, everyone around nodded in agreement. Old Lady Kang choked up in the middle of her tears. Seeing that she couldn't get her way, she pointed her finger at Jiang Miao viciously: "You dirty, rotten-hearted, shameless bastard, you were born with the only knowledge of drinking urine and eating shit..."
"Shut up!" Su Heng endured it again and again, but finally could not follow Miaomiao's instructions anymore, and spoke in a cold voice.
The immortal's voice sounded like the sound of a clear spring, but his tone was majestic, and his beautiful eyebrows were furrowed. Even Old Lady Kang was frightened by his angry look, and no sound came from her throat.
Wang Gao saw that she was getting more and more outrageous. He didn't want to waste time with her here, nor did he want to make a fool of himself in front of everyone, so he immediately asked the guards to hold him down, and he led his men to Villa No. 2.
Xiang Jie let out a long sigh of relief and looked at Jiang Miao gratefully: "Thank goodness you are here."
Seeing the situation taking a turn for the worse, Old Lady Kang was about to start cursing, but Jiang Miao immediately pulled out a handkerchief from her bag and threw it at her: "Stop her mouth!"
Xiang Jie had been enduring the old rascal for a long time, so he picked up the handkerchief on the ground without shaking it, and stuffed it directly into her mouth with the fragrance mixed with dust and mud!
The scene was finally quiet except for the humming and groaning sounds.
Ten minutes later, the base commander came out of Villa No. 2 with a gloomy face, his head covered with egg liquid and water stains.
It seems that not only the old members of the Kang family have amazing fighting power, but the young ones are not bad either.
The base commander had a gloomy face and said, "Xiang Jie, go to Kang's house and see if there are any things that belong to your villa. Let my guards move them back for you."
Now, the crowd who had come to watch the fun without knowing the whole story finally felt relieved after getting the truth. The worst thing about watching a fun is not waiting for the outcome of the matter. They thought the base commander wanted to save face for the orphans and widows of the Kang family and resolve the matter privately.
On the ground, hearing the duck that was about to be caught fly away, Old Mrs. Kang twisted madly on the ground, but the two guards behind her held her down tightly, making her unable to move.
"yes!"
Xiang Jie happily went to move back his belongings. Wang Gao sat on the chair and sighed. She waved and asked someone to take the handkerchief out of her mouth. She said helplessly, "Auntie, the base office has paid you exactly the money from the sale of the house. The money paid by the buyer includes all the furniture and decoration! How can you still take other people's things!"
"Bah! What do you mean it's someone else's stuff? That's my stuff!"
Old Lady Kang's hair was disheveled, and she looked like a crazy woman. "That Chen guy killed my son, and everything in his house is mine! Do I have to file a report to you for taking my own things?"
Looking at the crazy old lady Kang, Wang Gao felt that it was pointless to continue pestering her and ordered the guards to help the old lady go back to rest. Wang Rong sensibly brought a cup of tea for Grandpa to calm down.
When being dragged away, Old Lady Kang was still barking, "Wang! My son just died and his body is still warm, yet you are bullying his orphan and widow. You will not die well and you will be punished! I wonder how long you can be the base commander!"
To be honest, in the doomsday, everyone is on their own and has no contact with each other. The base commander is no different from a local emperor, and the deputy base commander, who is one level lower in rank, is at most a prime minister, and may not even have as much power as the adjutant around the base commander.
Now, the Prime Minister's mother ran to the local emperor and shouted at the top of her lungs that you can no longer be the emperor. Who would feel comfortable with this?
Jiang Miao saw that the dissatisfaction in Wang Gao's eyes reached its peak, and the good days of the Kang family were probably over.
You said you could stay at the base and get the allowance compensation. The villa alone is worth a lot of money and is enough for Mrs. Kang to live on in her old age.
I have to do it, I have to do it! Now I am satisfied.
After moving the things out, Xiang Jie didn't dare to bother the guards. He just asked them to put the things at the gate of the inner courtyard, and then called his younger brothers to come and carry them home.
"Miss Jiang, I am so grateful for your kindness. If you hadn't spoken up for me today, I might not have wanted to get entangled with this old woman anymore."
Xiang Jie sighed as he looked at the furniture he had recovered. He had never expected that the mother of the deputy base commander would be of such a character. It was truly an eye-opener.
"If you have anything to ask in the future, just let me know. I'll remember this favor."
Jiang Miao likes people who know how to repay kindness, although she didn't speak out to help him, she simply couldn't stand the Kang family.
But since she owed him a favor, she would not refuse and kindly reminded him, "I don't think this old lady Kang will give up easily. You should repair the outer wall well, so that no one can come to your house to steal things."
Xiang Jie felt that this made sense and said that he would go find building materials tonight and build a high wall imitating Jiang Miao's yard.
But the strange thing is that since today, no one has seen Mrs. Kang in the community. Jiang Miao thought of the base commander's last cold look and thought that she must have been placed under house arrest in his villa.
The cancer in the base has died down, and Jiang Miao's life has become more and more comfortable. Every day he just grows vegetables, practices boxing and sword, and then watches documentaries and movies with the Immortal Lord, and then goes out for a walk.
There was nothing serious wrong with her except that it was never dark, which made her slightly photophobic and she couldn't sleep without the curtains drawn tightly.
She was once again glad that she chose to live in the base.
It's nice to lean against a big tree and enjoy the shade. It's nothing like her previous life when there was eternal daylight and there were all kinds of people outside the base. She couldn't even sleep well in order to guard against sneak attacks from all walks of life. Because of this, her hair fell out in clumps, her heartbeat was irregular, and she suffered from mania.
One day, when she turned on the faucet to wash her hands, she found a few drops of water dripping from the pipe. She suddenly realized - had it not rained for several months?
To be precise, it has never rained on earth since the arrival of eternal day.
A while ago, the little boy who saw her climbing over the wall told his parents about it. They took it very seriously and reported it to the base commander the next day. The guard took the little boy back to the place and questioned him for a long time but only obtained two pieces of useful information.
1. A bald man wearing a mask.
2. No backpack on you.
So, the entire base began to track down the bald man.
But the world is difficult now, and many people have shaved their heads to make it easier to go out, especially farmers and workers. It would be harder than climbing to the sky to check them one by one!
Kang Weiguo's former subordinates seized on this clue and made a fuss about it for several weeks, and Jiang Miao also stayed indoors for several weeks.
Who would have thought that after investigating for a long time, they didn't find out what was going on, but instead caused a lot of complaints in the base. Wang Gao couldn't bear it any longer and issued an express order not to allow any further investigation into the matter. Only then did they give up.
Because of this incident, she did not go out for a long time. When she went out again, she found that except for a few seedlings in her own home that were still growing vigorously, even the green plants in the community had withered.
It turned out that except for the domestic water in their community, the water supply outside had been cut off for several weeks.
The drought reduced this quarter’s harvest by half, and some people died of starvation or thirst, and the people were left with no means of survival.
She didn't have this kind of trouble in her previous life. After all, there was a lot of space and it wasn't easy to find groundwater in the ruins of the city.
However, it is still very difficult to supply tens of thousands of people in the base with such a small amount of groundwater resources in the city. Some time ago, there was still some surplus to store for the 58th Residential Area, but now there is not even a bit left.
Nearly a year has passed since the earthquake, and the main roads have been cleared and are passable.
A young man who used to work in the Geological Bureau found out through his experience that there might be a large amount of groundwater resources more than 100 kilometers away from Ancheng.
After it was confirmed that the incident was true, the base arranged for water trucks to transport water back and forth every two days. However, the fuel consumption of a round trip of nearly 300 kilometers was too much to bear. The number of transportations became less and less, and water became increasingly scarce. Thousands of people died in the base again.
People's livelihood was difficult and everyone began to live a hard life again.
It seemed like someone was instigating trouble in the base, and the subordinates were unable to cope with it and their complaints were getting louder and louder. The base commander was so overwhelmed by the matter that he had to ask the immortal for help to tell him when the eternal day would end.
Miaomiao went out, and Su Heng had some free time. Thinking that he had been recovering well in recent days, he counted on his fingers and told half of his fortune for him.
"hiss--"
When he was fortune-telling, his soul seemed to be stabbed by something sharp. He broke out in a cold sweat and blood appeared at the corners of his mouth.
Wang Gao was so frightened that he quickly stood up and bowed to all four directions: "God, please don't blame me, God, please don't blame me!"
"Sorry, I can't figure this out." Su Heng raised his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth. The familiar pricking sensation came again, and his entire soul and body seemed to be pierced by millions of needles and being repeatedly fried and cooked in a frying pan. It was extremely painful!
Seeing that the immortal was not in good condition, Wang Gao had no choice but to leave the gift behind and leave first.
Half an hour later, when Jiang Miao came back with the water, he found Su Heng lying on the ground with a high fever.
"Su Heng?" She touched his forehead and frowned. It was so hot!
Jiang Miao immediately picked him up and carried him upstairs and put him on the bed, then found a fever-reducing patch from the space and put it on him.
I didn't know whether the medicine here had any effect or side effects on his physique, so I didn't use it for the sake of caution. Instead, I replaced the fever-reducing patch on his forehead in time to reduce his temperature.
To be honest, the temperature of her hands was so hot that she didn't dare to use a thermometer to measure them, for fear that the measurement would be 50 or 60 degrees, which would be terrifying!
What is going on?
She went downstairs and saw two bottles of fine wine next to the coffee table, and she knew that someone must have come to visit.
But is there any mortal who can harm the Immortal King?
The high fever wouldn't go away and he needed someone to be by his side. Jiang Miao took care of Su Heng until the afternoon. The sunny sky suddenly became overcast, and there was a sudden joy in the base. It was finally going to rain after such a long period of dry weather!
As a result, every household put out all the objects that could collect water on the street. A loud thunder sounded as expected, and cold rain poured down.
People who had not had a good drink of water for a long time rushed into the heavy rain, tilted their heads back and drank water desperately. Some people even took off their clothes except for their underpants and took a bath in the rain.
The sun, which had been working diligently day and night for more than half a year, now hid in the clouds, and the sky suddenly became dark.
Jiang Miao let out a long sigh. It seemed that the eternal night had come early.
Outside the window, there were lightning and thunder, strong winds, and the temperature dropped sharply. A cold wave was coming. Jiang Miao took out a coat from the space, put it on, and looked outside. The rain kept falling, and the sky was darkening at a speed visible to the naked eye.
And now it is three o'clock in the afternoon.
When the people in the rain came to their senses, they found that it was pitch dark around them and even the moon was nowhere to be seen. The freezing rain fell on their bodies, releasing cold air to them, making them shiver and their hearts freeze.
Jiang Miao took out a small flashlight to check the tightness of the blackout curtains, but unfortunately, even a little light in the darkness would be very conspicuous.
She had no choice but to take out the wooden boards and nail the four sides of the curtains tightly to the wall, then turn on the incandescent light in the house and go outside to observe the situation.
If you take a quick look, you won't be able to see anything. Of course, if a person has sharp eyes, he or she can still see subtle differences if he or she looks closely.
Darkness fell and the rainstorm did not stop. Su Le, who was on duty at the 58th District, came over immediately with a flashlight and asked, "Senior sister, are you okay?"
"It's okay." Jiang Miao opened the door to let her in, and handed her a towel. "I think it will be dark for a long time this time."
Su Le nodded heavily: "Yes, Fang Yang also told me so. I came here to tell you about this."
Jiang Miao reminded: "If it's always dark, being a community security guard is no longer a suitable job."
Eternal night arrives, it is pitch black everywhere, and everything is swallowed up in darkness.
Darkness can magnify the greed, tyranny and cruelty in human nature.
Because the day will never come again, bad things can be done without leaving any traces more than ever before, so people can act more unscrupulously.
The 58th District, which is the richest and has the most supplies in the entire base, is the primary target of those who are interested and desperate.
Su Le pondered for a moment.
My senior sister once said that contribution points are the official currency of the base, but when the apocalypse first came, was money useful? Nothing can make people feel at ease like tangible supplies.
The three of them didn't save any of their wages this year. They exchanged all of it into supplies and piled them up at home. It should be enough to last them for half a year, but what should they do if the eternal night hasn't ended yet after the food is gone?
Jiang Miao only explained the pros and cons and had no intention of making a decision for them. After all, they were all adults and no one knew better than themselves what choice they should make at the moment.
She took a deep breath and said, "Okay, senior sister, I will go back and tell them to discuss it together. You should be careful here too."
"Okay, next time you come to see me, remember to say hello and don't knock on the door."
"Yeah, okay."
Watching Su Le leave in the rain, Jiang Miao closed the gate in the dark, then pulled out the power supply cable that had been embedded inside early in the morning and powered on the gate.
At the beginning of the renovation, Jiang Miao left a steel plate inlay on the wall next to it, which was specifically used to place a mobile power source to power the grid.
It's raining heavily now, it's just right to come in handy.
The sky had turned completely dark, and without the sun the temperature naturally dropped back to around ten degrees. Jiang Miao went over and touched Su Heng's forehead. Perhaps because the surroundings had become colder, he wasn't feeling so hot anymore.
Jiang Miao did not use the fever-reducing patch anymore, but instead used a wet towel to pad his forehead.
Building 58 was relatively well organized in the face of this emergency, but other places were a complete mess.
When Wang Gao came out of the immortal's place at noon, he felt depressed and uncomfortable, so he told Mayor Wen about it.
But Mayor Wen said unhappily that he had long suspected that this man was a fake Taoist priest who deceived the world and stole his reputation. It was just a coincidence last time, and this time, seeing that he could not make up any other excuse, he just made up an excuse that the secret of heaven could not be revealed.
He also said that when he heard him spitting blood, he knew he was playing tricks. Is there really someone who would tell fortunes to the point of spitting blood? He has seen so many masters and none of them has been like this.
Wang Gao was half-believing and half-doubting. The immortal chatted with him before calculating. His words were clear and there was no blood in his mouth. It couldn't be that he had bitten his tongue and spit out blood, right?
Then he sat in the office to handle official business until the wind and clouds changed and thunder roared outside the window, and the sky suddenly became dark. It was still dark until the rain stopped at five in the afternoon.
Considering the fact that it was bright for a long time recently, a terrible premonition kept turning over in his mind. Could it be that it would be dark for a long time now?
Thinking of the tragic scene of the immortal vomiting blood, he suddenly felt an unprecedented panic in his heart. He was afraid that this natural disaster would be difficult to survive.
The rain stopped, and Jiang Miao was exhausted after taking care of Su Heng for the entire afternoon.
Take out high-energy foods such as cheese from the space and prepare to give yourself a good snack.
Compared to eternal day, eternal night is much more difficult to endure.
In the past, I might have been able to go out for a walk, and even though the sky was always bright, I could still sleep with the curtains drawn.
But now it is pitch black and without sunlight crops cannot grow. Without food, hunger will force people to turn their knives against each other.
Even if someone greets you with a smile on his face, you don’t know if he is holding a deadly weapon in his hand in the dark, waiting to take your life.
As for human health, lack of sunlight will affect the absorption of calcium and vitamin D, leading to osteoporosis and further aggravation of rickets.
Not seeing the sun for a long time can easily cause endocrine disorders, especially when people have just switched from polar day. They will become depressed, tired, and sleepy. This kind of mental depression is also extremely torturous.
After dinner, a loud scream was heard at the door.
Jiang Miao went out with a flashlight: "Who is it?"
Mayor Wen lay straight on the ground, unconscious.
In fact, the voltage of her door was not that high. It was just that it happened to rain and the rain water on the door had not dried yet, so the conductivity was a little better.
Jiang Miao turned off the power and opened the small window. He saw the base chief standing outside with bags. He guessed that it was Su Heng he was looking for this morning.
"The Immortal Master is in a very bad condition now. He has a high fever and cannot see guests." Jiang Miao went straight to the point and it was obvious that he didn't want to let them in.
Wang Gao also guessed that the Immortal Master might have been seriously injured when he left, so he didn't bother to leave the things for the Immortal Master to replenish his body, but Jiang Miao was unwilling to take them: "Base Commander, it's so dark now. I heard that the base experienced a riot some time ago. Why don't you exchange these things for food to appease the people? I'm afraid they will come for real."
Wang Gao knew all these things, and seeing that she refused to accept it, he asked the guards to carry Mayor Wen back with them.
After taking a few steps, he looked at the 58 solid stone walls and heavy electrified doors, and felt completely safe.
In the past, he thought that the girl was worrying too much. The base laws strictly prohibited fighting and robbery, and there were security guards patrolling the community from time to time. Why did she make such a fuss? It was as if she didn't trust his leadership ability.
But this strange natural disaster happened. Even if he wanted to add a stone wall to his Villa No. 1 now, it would take four or five days to complete.
Alas, if I slow down one step at a time, I won’t be able to make it in time.
It was both unexpected and reasonable that Jiang Miao heard the sounds of burning, killing and looting nearby at three o'clock in the morning of that night.
The sound seemed to be not far away, just inside the community.
She could guess that there would be a riot in the base after the Eternal Night, but she never expected it to happen so soon!
Jiang Miao put on his down jacket and climbed onto the roof of the second floor. He took out a cushion and sat on the ground, holding up the night vision telescope to observe the situation nearby.
Not far away, there were several flashlights flashing in the air. She looked closely and it seemed to be Building 27. They were a family that loved to show off their wealth. They also had a bad reputation in the community and often acted bossy and had a very bad attitude towards others.
Building 58 is very low-key in the Wuba Community.
Wang Rong and Li Shilan invited her and Xianjun to a banquet several times, but she refused. She aimed to be an invisible person in the community, just to prepare for today.
There were seven or eight burly men at the door of the villa carrying things back and forth. The hostess stepped forward to stop them but was kicked away by the men. When the man turned his head, Jiang Miao recognized him.
It turned out to be the Big Brother who kept saying that he was framed and kicked out of the base.
Looking at his ruthless actions now, how could he feel slandered at all! I can't help but sigh that in the apocalypse, no one really speaks the truth.
After discovering the identity of one of them, Jiang Miao tried to identify the clothes on the group of people. Five of the eight people were wearing security uniforms! They were holding electric batons in their hands.
She never expected that the first group to target the Wuba Community would be the security guards whose duty was to protect the community!
After snatching all the things, the few of them beat up the rich second-generation young man who they treated as an inferior, and then turned their guns and rushed to Building 28 next to them.
It is so organized and disciplined that it is hard not to suspect that this was planned long ago.
The yard of Building 28 was surrounded by a fence made of small logs. It looked nice and romantic, but in the eyes of this group of people it looked like paper. They kicked it open and rushed in.
This family was in complete vain, having brought misfortune upon themselves. The middle-aged woman inside cried heart-wrenchingly, but it did not sway the robbers at all. At the same time, several rooms with lights on turned off the lights at the same time.
At this moment, no one dared to rush out and speak up for justice. They all hid in their homes, secretly praying to God that they would not be found.
Of course, Jiang Miao didn't move either.
Her mission was to protect Building 58 from falling, and she had no control over other people.
After robbing Building 28, the group of people retreated temporarily, but they were immediately followed by a large group of well-trained troops who walked straight in from the gate with guns.
Gunshots rang out continuously in the dark night. Jiang Miao watched those people holding torches rushing straight towards the inner circle.
In the light of the fire, Jiang Miao found that the leader was very familiar. He could recognize him from the epaulettes on his shoulders as Kang Weiguo's adjutant.
I don't know if the Kang family had been planning to rebel for a long time, which is why Mrs. Kang yelled "Let's see how long you can be the base commander" before being placed under house arrest again.
But it must be said that if she was planning a rebellion, she would choose a day like today. No matter whether the sky is bright tomorrow morning or not, she would still take this gamble.
The inner circle was filled with gunfire and they quickly rushed in. It seemed that Adjutant Tian came prepared. He not only colluded with individual security guards, but also infiltrated the guards.
Jiang Miao had no choice but to turn around and go downstairs after seeing through the night vision goggles that Adjutant Tian had led his men with torches to surround Villa No. 1.
She couldn't do such a stupid thing as risking her life to save Wang Gao, but whether Wang Gao was the base commander was very important to her quality of life in the base.
Before leaving, Jiang Miao changed Su Heng's towel, then put on a Mediterranean headgear and quietly went around to the back of Villa No. 5.
Now everyone's eyes were focused there. Jiang Miao climbed over the wall silently and set up a sniper rifle at the highest point.
There was still some negotiation going on in front of the villa. The torches were burning all around and the lighting was at full brightness, making it very easy to aim. Jiang Miao held his breath and moved his fingers. He hadn't fired a gun for a long time and was even a little rusty.
“Puff——”
The silenced gun only made the sound of the bullet passing through the air and piercing the skull. The moment Adjutant Tian fell to the ground, before the people around him could react, Jiang Miao had already put the gun into the space and quickly evacuated from the upstairs.
These people are all from the army. They are extremely professional in finding the shooting position by the ballistic trajectory. She doesn't want to get into trouble with these people.
Jiang Miao took advantage of the night vision goggles to roam around the neighborhood and ran back home as fast as he could.
By the time she changed her clothes and sat on the rooftop again to observe the situation, the fight had already started. As for whether Wang Gao's people could win or not, she had already tried her best and had no way of controlling the outcome.
The deafening sound of gunfire was like watching a gunfight in a police and gangster movie! Just by listening to the sound, you can feel the excitement of blood and flesh flying everywhere.
The intensive gunfire woke up not only the homeowners in the community who were preparing to have a good night's sleep tonight, but also the refugees outside the community who had been hungry for a long time due to lack of rain and reduced crop yields.
Jiang Miao watched as the empty security booth was breached. The refugees who rushed in wore masks, held torches in their left hands and kitchen knives in their right hands. The moment they broke in, they saw the asphalt road and the single-family villas on the ground, and the jealousy in their hearts suddenly ignited, which made them beat and smash everything here like crazy.
It turns out that these people hide in this community every day, and they all live in this kind of house, with small gardens!
The fire illuminated the quiet community. The Western buildings and Eastern sculptures were of no use at this moment. Jiang Miao watched more and more people rush into the community, and the police who arrived late could no longer solve anything. It was just a drop in the bucket.
Instigated by unknown individuals, these people started looting and smashing things in a very organized manner. In a short time, more than 30 households were destroyed!
Rice, flour, grain, oil, canned ham, this group of people grabbed whatever food they saw. The backpacks at the back were so stuffed that they could not put any more, so they had to stuff them into their trouser legs to take away everything!
The supplies in this community are really abundant! One grab is enough for them to eat and drink for half a month!
Building 58 is quite far from the entrance of the community, and there aren't many people at the entrance yet. Jiang Miao took out his crossbow and shot one person at a time. After two people were killed, no one dared to go to the entrance of Building 58.
After all, the wall was high and looked extremely solid, and the main door was a shiny steel door! There was no way to break in.
"Bang--"
Finally, gunshots were heard in the outer circle. After the first shot, there was a second shot. It seemed that there were many people secretly hiding guns in the community.
Shot after shot was fired, the noise was deafening, and the base commander finally ended the battle. The guards inside came out and cooperated with the police to take over the chaos outside.
After all the trouble, these people took advantage of the chaos and took advantage of it to gain a lot of benefits, but of course a lot of people died as well.
Seeing new law enforcement officers joining the battlefield, they hurriedly took advantage of the situation and ran away. After all, no one wants to die, right?
The refugees who came in to destroy things retreated like a tide, leaving behind only a mess.
There are many of these people, and they involve a wide range of areas. They are all masked, and the main point is that the law cannot be used to punish everyone.
Now that the eternal night has come, all walks of life have their own industries to recover and are short of manpower. Wang Gao was actually in a dilemma and didn't know how to deal with it or how to comfort them. His blood rushed to his head and he had just been freed from a life-and-death battle, so he fainted!
"Base Commander!" Everyone was in a panic and hurriedly helped the man back, with Wang Xiangnan temporarily taking over the relevant matters.
Jiang Miao sat on the rooftop of the second floor, eating chocolate with a strong cocoa flavor and shaking his head. He didn't know whether the base commander was really dizzy or pretending to be dizzy, so cunning.
It's easy to imagine that the base office and the city center definitely don't have the time or energy to hold these refugees accountable. There are hundreds or thousands of them, and you can't just kill them all, right?
Otherwise, if all the people were killed, what would they eat and drink? Who would be the gears to maintain the normal operation of the base?
Of course, the only ones who can feel aggrieved are the residents in the community. They try to make a big thing into a small thing and at most find a scapegoat.
Who will be the scapegoat?
not good!
Jiang Miao straightened his back. The scapegoat could only be Li Zhicheng, who was in charge of the security team.
The security guard took the lead in robbing the property owner, and left his post without permission and failed to stop the onslaught of refugees. This is the perfect crime to accuse him of.
Li Zhicheng is a two-faced fence-sitter, and he is also a spineless person who cannot be frightened, otherwise he would not have been frightened for so long by her just a few words and a combination of kindness and force!
Jiang Miao's eyes grew colder, and he immediately went downstairs and out the door, not even bothering to clean up the two bodies at the door, and ran straight to Building 15.
I don't know if the base commander has given Wang Xiangnan any advice on how to make the matter smaller, but just in case, Li Zhicheng cannot be kept.
He was going to be killed as a sacrifice to the gods anyway, so Jiang Miao couldn't let him speak before he died.
The night vision goggles really helped her a lot. Jiang Miao saw the guards in front of her from a distance, and immediately jumped over the wall into the villa, then went sideways and took a small path to the back of Building 15.
The place was brightly lit and it was obvious that it had been visited by refugees. The flowers and plants at the door were still burning with flames, and the cries of countless women inside were deafening, making the sound extremely piercing.
Jiang Miao took off his night vision goggles and hid outside the window on the first floor. When he didn't find Li Zhicheng, he quickly climbed to the second floor.
At this time, the guards led by Wang Xiangnan had arrived at the gate of Building 15.
In the study, Li Zhicheng was sitting alone smoking. The room was filled with smoke, the ashtray was full of cigarette butts, and next to him was a half-drunk bottle of wine.
It seems that he also realized that he was in charge of security but such a serious safety accident happened, and the base commander probably couldn't keep him.
Jiang Miao landed quietly, the dagger in his hand glowing coldly. Li Zhicheng was so frightened that cold sweat broke out on his forehead: "I was just about to look for you, can you help me in front of the base commander this time..."
Of course, a stab to the heart would kill the person instantly. She quickly collected some core documents and files from the study, and without staying even a step longer, she immediately climbed out the window and left.
Just as she jumped from the second floor, Wang Xiangnan had just led his men up the stairs to the second floor.
Out of the corner of his eye, Wang Xiangnan seemed to see something flash by outside the window, but the lights in the room were so bright that he couldn't see outside at all.
Jiang Miao put on his night vision goggles again and quickly climbed over the wall to leave.
Without any worries, I can finally have a good sleep tonight.
When I woke up, it was already ten o'clock in the morning. It was still dark outside. From the sounds, I could tell that there were quite a few people outside. It seemed that they were cleaning up corpses and damaged property.
A guard knocked on the door and was shocked by the current. He shook his numb arm and said, "Why is there still electricity on your door?!"
Jiang Miao munched on a sandwich and said, "It was just opened yesterday and hasn't been removed yet."
"What's the situation with Building 58? Is there any property damage?"
"No."
The guard was too numb to write, and looking at the two bodies at the door, he probably didn't have any.
"There will be an owners' meeting at 8 o'clock tonight. It will be at Villa 15. Remember not to be late."
Jiang Miao responded indifferently, turned around and left.
The situation in the community was not very good. There were almost no families with zero losses. As far as she knew, hers and Xiang Jie's families were probably the only ones.
After breakfast, Jiang Miao went downstairs to pick the vegetables that were almost ripe in advance, and put the vegetables that were still small seedlings into the space, waiting to take them out for planting after the day and night returned to normal.
She has taken care of these from the time they were seeds. She has become attached to them by watering, fertilizing, weeding and catching insects every day. Even though it is a bit troublesome, she does not want to see them die in the eternal night because of lack of sunlight.
“Hiss…”
There was another uninvited guest at the door.
Jiang Miao did not respond and waited for them to ask.
Soon, a muttering voice came from outside the door: "Why does it look to me like this little girl doesn't look dead? There is electricity on the door, how could those people break in?"
Tsk, it turns out to be my second uncle’s family. What bad luck.
Tian Meizhi lowered her voice and said, "As soon as Jiang Yuan came back, she started yelling something like dead, dead, all dead. She smashed things and beat people like crazy. If it wasn't Jiang Miao, who could have given her such a big stimulus!"
That makes sense.
Jiang Bin looked at the gate and said, "What should we do with this gate? If she dies, we won't be able to get in with this gate blocking us!"
"Climb over the wall, let's climb over the wall and go in."
I think the community’s security force was replaced after the riot, and the newcomers didn’t recognize these two guys, so they let them in again.
This wall is not low. Two people have to stack their shoulders and just reach the top.
"Ouch!" Tian Meizhi's hand was pierced by the glass on the wall. She slipped and both of them fell flat on their faces. Jiang Miao then put on insulating gloves and opened the small window leisurely: "Hey, isn't this my second uncle and second aunt? Why are you climbing over my wall?"
"You bastard, you unfilial daughter!" Tian Meizhi covered her bleeding hand and cursed, "You knew we were outside a long time ago, why didn't you speak up earlier? You had to watch us make a fool of ourselves, didn't you?"
Jiang Miao said seriously: "Yes, isn't it interesting?"
I had fought with this little bitch several times but never got any good results. This time I thought she died in the riot yesterday, so I came to see what happened.
The two of them rolled around and crawled, and Jiang Miao didn't even need to give them an ultimatum. They just left in disgrace.
As for how to question Jiang Yuan when she gets back, that’s none of her business.
The "dead are all dead" that Jiang Yuan said might be referring to her two financial backers Kang Weiguo and Li Zhicheng.
What a coincidence, she was the one who killed them all.
Have a comfortable lunch and then go to the immortal's bed to check his temperature.
The burning sensation on his forehead was gone, but there was no sign of him waking up.
The Immortal King hasn't been unconscious for such a long time. He has recently gotten used to someone occasionally saying a few words to him. He felt a little uncomfortable when he suddenly became alone for no reason.
At 7:50 in the evening, Jiang Miao put on his down jacket, took a flashlight and went out to Building 15 on time for the owners' meeting.
Wang Xiangnan urgently installed street lights on the main roads of the community. After turning on the street lights, people feel more at ease walking on the road.
