Chapter 175: Considering Sister Tang’s Health
Lu Xingtang leaned on Ji Yanmo's shoulder and looked towards the base: "Come one, kill one! No one can disturb our peace!"
Because of Su Cheng's ruthless methods, the refugees and survivors who hadn't been caught hated him immensely. "Su Cheng, you don't deserve to be the commander of Hope Base! Hope Base is a place to take in refugees and give people hope, not a place to be a local tyrant! Just wait, when we find the opportunity, I will definitely kill you!"
"I will eat you!"
Su Cheng took out all the guns in the base and asked the patrol members to carry them while patrolling. If they encountered refugees or bipeds, they should kill them directly without asking why!
Leaving them behind would also be a disaster!
Thanks to the efforts of everyone in the base, no one is missing for the time being, and no refugees or bipeds dare to approach them.
It has been exactly six months since the onset of polar day. It is now November. If it were in the past, it would have been winter, but there is no winter during the polar day. The sun always stays in the same position and will not set.
At this time, the research team came to Su Cheng, the research team leader: "Base Director, after our testing, the polar day will stop in five months! The eternal night that management mentioned before will break out the moment the polar day stops! We can't guarantee how long the eternal night will last, but it will probably be no less than half a year!"
Su Cheng's expression changed, and he immediately took inventory of the base's stored supplies. If the Eternal Night erupted immediately, they had enough to last the entire base for a year and a half. But Su Cheng was worried because they didn't know how long the Eternal Night would last, prompting everyone to stockpile supplies immediately. They might have enough food, but they might not have enough firewood. Su Cheng instructed everyone to chop wood around the base in their spare time. They had to stockpile at least a year's supply, and he even designated an area specifically for firewood storage.
Lu Xingtang and Ji Yanmo learned from Su Cheng that the eternal night was coming, so they were also stockpiling supplies. No matter what supplies they were, they had to stockpile them so that no one could discover the secret of their space. So, in addition to farming and harvesting food at home, the two of them basically chopped firewood in the mountains.
While everyone was frantically stockpiling supplies, 2103 passed and 2104 came.
With the arrival of the new year, everyone's mood was heavy. They worried about the outbreak of the Eternal Night. They even fenced off the base, but inside and outside the fence were thorns, cacti, and other thorny trees and weeds.
Lu Xingtang copied the base's assignments and, along with Ji Yanmo, transplanted numerous thorns inside and outside the traps. They even tested the thorns' effectiveness. They knew it was impossible to cross them, enter their home, steal their supplies, occupy their house, and kill them. Unless they cut the thorns, they would be trapped. Traps weren't just made of sharpened wood or bamboo.
Worried that the killing power was not enough, Lu Xingtang's consciousness mixed a lot of poisons in the space!
Two bottles of poison were placed outside. After Su Cheng found out, he asked the doctors at the base hospital to study the poison. The stronger the poison, the better. They also set up traps. After the Eternal Night broke out, they also sprayed poison into the traps to prevent more refugees or survivors from entering their base and killing innocent people.
The Chinese New Year is here again, but no one is in the mood to celebrate. Instead, all their energy is focused on stockpiling supplies and protecting the base.
Without being disturbed by Su Cheng, Lu Xingtang and Ji Yanmo had a simple reunion dinner and even had a drink.
Looking at Lu Xingtang's red face, Ji Yanmo couldn't take his eyes away. He secretly decided in his heart that when there was no danger, he would often drag Lu Xingtang to drink, making Lu Xingtang as soft as a puddle of water, allowing him to bully her.
After the Chinese New Year, Lu Xingtang and Ji Yanmo became busy in the space. Some of the vegetables and grains in the space were already ripe.
But the moment they entered the space, they saw that a small tree about 70 centimeters tall had grown in the place where the seeds transformed from the heart of the blue star were originally planted.
The small tree looks similar to the Bodhi tree. At first glance, it is very similar to the Bodhi tree, but it is different after a closer look.
When they approached the small tree, Lu Xingtang and Ji Yanmo felt relaxed all over, as if they were on top of the clouds. Their bodies and minds were gently soothed, and their souls seemed to be sublimated.
Lu Xingtang and Ji Yanmo suddenly fell into a drowsy state, and then fell softly beside the small tree. The branches of the uncle's tree slowly approached the two of them, as if a pair of hands were holding them. Suddenly, a leaf cut their hands. At the moment when the blood flowed out, the whole tree bent down and attached itself to them. The blood between their wrists was sucked by the leaves, and the willow-like small tree suddenly burst into a dazzling light.
The light quickly spread and rushed to every corner of the space. At the same time, Ji Yanmo's thunder ability and space ability power emerged from his body, turning into purple and colorful light lingering in the space, quickly merging with the power emitted by the small tree. The atmosphere in the space became more and more gentle, like a mother's embrace.
The small tree slowly rose from Lu Xingtang and Ji Yanmo, shaking its leaves constantly.
When Lu Xingtang and Ji Yanmo woke up, they found themselves lying next to a small tree and quickly stood up. "I think I just had a dream!"
Ji Yanmo also spoke up: "I seemed to have had a dream too. I dreamed..." Ji Yanmo glanced at Lu Xingtang awkwardly: "I was warmed by you."
Lu Xingtang hated himself for being such a bastard who understood immediately and had impure thoughts.
However, the next moment, Lu Xingtang widened his eyes slightly: "Amo, do you feel any changes in the space?"
Ji Yanmo raised his eyes and looked around. "It seems that the atmosphere has become much gentler and softer, especially this small tree..." Ji Yanmo looked at the small tree for a long time and said, "I feel that it is very kind."
Lu Xingtang's gaze also fell on the small tree: "I feel that way too... no, I feel like the entire space has become more intimate. It's as if I am now the true master of this space."
However, no matter how they studied, they could not find out why the sense of intimacy appeared. They did not have this feeling before seeing the small tree. What happened while they were "sleeping"?
When they came out of the space, they heard Su Cheng calling them at the door, and Lu Xingtang immediately opened the door: "You two..." Su Cheng was about to tease Ji Yanmo, but it was Lu Xingtang who opened the door, so he immediately took back his words, "I came to have a drink with you! Make up for what we missed during the New Year!"
Lu Xingtang asked Su Cheng to come into the house, and she went to the kitchen to cook.
When Lu Xingtang was gone, Su Cheng looked at Ji Yanmo with a strange look in his eyes: "It's broad daylight, but you'd better be careful! The eternal night is coming, and your little life can't survive it! For the sake of Sister Tang's health, please restrain yourself!"
Many babies had been born at the base recently, giving him a headache. The factory that made small umbrellas collapsed in the thick fog, corroding many of the umbrellas. As a result, there were no small umbrellas at their base now. He wanted to get two boxes for Ji Yanmo, but couldn't find anything.
Ji Yanmo was speechless: "Drinking is harmful to your health. Go back, otherwise everyone will know that you have kidney deficiency."
