Chapter 171 Kidney Deficiency
Su Cheng, who was unaware of the situation, was also dumbfounded when he saw the position of the sun. He remembered that when he came to Lu Xingtang's house, the sun was in that position. He had been playing cards for a long time, but it didn't move at all.
Ji Yanmo looked at Su Cheng and asked, "Has the research team not found any weather conditions or natural disasters recently?"
Su Cheng shook his head. "The research building was damaged earlier, and many precision instruments were corroded by the thick fog. Weather testing is ineffective, so it's normal for this to happen. The research team is working hard to repair it, but it's unclear when it will be completed." Looking at the sun, Su Cheng's expression turned grim. "Could it be that a new natural disaster is coming?"
Su Cheng couldn't sit still any longer. He hurried back to the base and gathered the research team, asking them to test the natural disaster situation. He then took out every watch or clock in the base that could be used. The time displayed: 20:33.
Seeing the time, Su Cheng immediately called a meeting of the management team and showed them the time: "It's already 8:30 in the evening, it's not dark yet, the sun's position has not changed, and the temperature..." He took the thermometer Lu Xingtang had given him earlier, "39°, about the same as noon."
Management: "!!!!" It wasn't dark yet. They'd been working, and while they were feeling hungry, none of them had noticed it was already evening. They were often so busy they forgot about time and meals; it was a habit. Today, they were even saying, "How come I'm hungry so quickly? It's not even dark yet!" It turned out to be evening already, but the sky wasn't dark yet, and the sun hadn't set.
Su Cheng immediately said, "Hurry up and let the workers go home and rest. Reassure the people at the base and don't let them panic! First, observe the weather. If the sun doesn't set and the sky doesn't get dark, remind everyone to take care of their health. If you have any problems, go to the base hospital immediately. Don't delay! We don't know what the consequences of keeping the sky bright all the time will be for us humans, but one thing is certain: our daily routines will be disrupted!"
The management also thought of this, and they thought a little more deeply than Ji Yanmo.
The planet's temperature will continue to rise. While it won't reach extreme heat, it won't be a pleasant experience for humans. Plants and animals will also experience significant mutations, with some species, including humans, dying on a large scale. The ripening time of grains, fruits, and medicinal herbs will also be shortened.
This allowed them to stockpile a lot of supplies. Their only concern now was how long the polar day would last before returning to normal. Or, if the polar day was over, would the eternal night arrive?
Polar day means the sun never sets and the sky is always bright. Perpetual night, on the other hand, is the opposite of polar day, with the sun never rising and the sky always dark.
There is no 24-hour day and night cycle.
If that's the case, polar day is relatively safe. Eternal night is the most terrifying.
The management arranged things and told Su Cheng about the possible arrival of Eternal Night. Su Cheng's face suddenly turned ugly: "We must stock up on supplies during the polar day! Take precautions!"
The base will be safe during the polar day, but that doesn't mean it won't be targeted by survivors outside the base or survivors from other cities, evil forces, etc. after the eternal night comes.
If they are targeted and have no defense at all, they are doomed to die!
The survivors of the base were panicked when they saw the sun not setting and they just stayed in the same place without moving, and it was not getting dark. When they saw the people sent by the management, they chased after them and asked them questions.
"Don't worry, everyone. The research team is already investigating. The base commander has already told you all to go home and rest. You'll still have to work tomorrow to earn enough to survive! If the base makes any major decisions, we'll definitely notify you. Please don't panic. As long as everyone is alive, that's the best thing."
It took a long time to comfort the survivors, but no one could rest. The sun was always bright, and the sunlight shone into the house, making it impossible for them to sleep. Those who had black cloth at home covered the windows, so they could get some sleep.
Everyone was living in agony, fearing that if they fell asleep, a natural disaster would occur and they would not have enough time to escape. They even started packing their supplies, ready to escape at any time.
It was late at night and everyone was asleep, but the sky was still bright and the sun had not set, hanging steadily in the sky.
Everyone waited anxiously until 7 o'clock in the morning, but there was no movement from the sky or the sun.
After research, the research team told Su Cheng the news at around eight o'clock: "Base Commander, the polar day is coming!" Then they explained the situation of the polar day to Su Cheng, which was not much different from what several senior management members said. They were relieved to know that the polar day would only disrupt people's work and rest schedules and would not cause any problems.
Therefore, they immediately appeased the people in the base and arranged for all workers to work in two shifts, including those who went out to look for supplies.
At the same time, they also told everyone the benefits of polar day. The crops, vegetables and fruits they planted would have a shorter maturity time, so they could store a lot of food. Everyone would no longer have to go hungry, and soon they would not have to go out to look for supplies.
The survivors all breathed a sigh of relief and sealed the doors and windows of their homes. At least when they went to bed, the bright light would not be so dazzling that it would keep them awake.
Everyone started to adjust their work and rest schedules. At first, no one was used to it and would doze off while working. It took three or four days to fully adapt to the polar day.
When Lu Xingtang saw Su Cheng again, Su Cheng was staring at her with two big panda eyes. "Let me take your pulse!"
Su Cheng walked towards Lu Xingtang, sat down on the chair next to him, and handed his hand to Lu Xingtang. Lu Xingtang put his hand on Su Cheng's pulse and frowned: "Su Cheng, you..." He paused, "I'm going to the base hospital to get some medicine for you. Do you want to make the medicine yourself or do you want me to do it for you?"
"Boil medicine? I'm in good health!" Because of the arrival of the polar day, he couldn't sleep well. He just stayed up for a few more days without rest.
Lu Xingtang was silent for a moment: "Su Cheng, don't you feel any changes in your body? For example, forgetfulness, soreness in the waist and knees, fatigue, decreased sexual function, bad mood, more severe panting when moving, spontaneous sweating, fatigue, pale tongue with white fur, weak pulse..."
"Stop, stop, stop! I...I get it..." Su Cheng immediately interrupted Lu Xingtang. Her words were very straightforward, and he understood: "Give me a prescription...I'll go to the base hospital to get the medicine myself! I'll go by myself!"
Kidney deficiency! He actually has kidney deficiency!
He's only 32 years old! He has kidney deficiency!
Ji Yanmo glanced at Su Cheng dimly and said, "When you have time in the future, go to the base hospital and have someone check you out. Don't let my wife see you!" What a shame!
Su Cheng: "!!! Sister, give me the prescription quickly, I'll be waiting for you at the door!" My head can be cut off and blood can flow, but I can't lose my face.
Lu Xingtang silently returned to the room, took out a pen and paper, wrote the prescription, and Ji Yanmo gave it to Su Cheng and told him to get out.
Su Cheng originally wanted to have a free meal, but now he is too embarrassed to do so.
