They had previously laughed at the 49th and 50th buildings for being unfounded, but now they were so envious. The three-meter-high stone wall was surrounded by an electric grid, and it looked extremely safe.

Suddenly, many people came to Qin Chuan, wanting to get building materials to build the wall.

Unexpectedly, Qin Chuan changed his usual behavior, "Everyone, I'm so sorry, but all the building materials that can be found have long been taken away by the government to build the new city. I really don't have any channels in this regard. How about you look for other families?"

He was not stupid. If every family was built as solid as a rock, what would happen if the thugs attacked indiscriminately?

Besides, he really didn't lie. There are more and more people in Fengcheng, and building materials are indeed becoming more and more difficult to find.

...

I was drowsy in the morning, and my hands and feet felt colder and colder.

I pulled the quilt over me, but I still felt chilly.

Jiang Ning turned on the bedside lamp and found that it was already nine o'clock in the morning.

Dizzy, I overslept again.

Feeling that the room was darker than usual, she pulled open the curtains, but it was pitch black outside.

Jiang Ning was stunned. The eternal night had come earlier.

More than two months earlier.

Huo Yishen woke up too, "What's wrong?"

It was cold and it was easy to sleep, and they had a deep communication last night, so they both overslept.

"The eternal night is here."

He took out the thermometer and found that the indoor temperature had reached zero degrees.

The house was kept warm during decoration, and the outdoor temperature was estimated to be more than 20 degrees below zero.

Huo Yishen got up quickly and went to Doudou's room to add a blanket.

"Brother, why is it so dark?"

Huo Yishen turned on the light, "Don't be afraid, the eternal night has come."

Doudou was wearing a thermostatic suit, and only his hands and feet were cold, "Will Brother Xiaomu and the others be frozen?"

Huo Yishen was stunned, "You care about Xiaomu a lot?"

Doudou thought for a while, "He is very good to me, obedient and helps me with work, what if he gets sick from the cold?"

"Use the walkie-talkie to contact him."

Doudou put on his socks and immediately took out the walkie-talkie.

Huo Yishen put on his clothes and turned on the lights on the second-floor balcony as agreed by the community, dispelling some of the darkness in front of the villa.

With a flashlight, he went to the backyard to check on the poultry.

Animals also have biological clocks. They were blindingly bright every day, but now they couldn't see their hands in front of them, and they were huddled together uncomfortably.

The glass shed is not as warm as the room, and the poultry are shivering with cold.

Huo Yishen turned on the lights and spread the wheat prepared in advance in the shed.

Jiang Ning followed him over, but felt it was still not warm enough, so he took out a lot of wooden boards from the space to thicken the glass.

As for the vegetables in the growing shed, they were all put into the space and put away so that they could be taken out when needed.

After finishing the backyard, the two went to the rooftop to deal with the planted herbs.

Standing on the rooftop, you can hear the rumbling sound of engines, and lights are turned on in villas one after another.

The lights do not shine widely, and they seem extremely dim and small in the dark night.

The security guards are still patrolling, and flashlights are lit from time to time on the road.

There was a knock on the door. It was Yang Jie and a few others who came, all from Aoyuan.

"Little Sister Jiang, we're leaving."

Yang Jie didn't expect Yong Ye to come so quickly. He had to hurry home.

Jiang Ning frowned slightly, "Did you recruit someone?"

"The captain just said he did."

"Okay, you guys listen to Captain He and hurry home. Go back in groups and be careful on the road."

Yang Jie nodded, looking as if he wanted to say something but stopped.

Jiang Ning was puzzled, "What's wrong?"

Yang Jie pulled her aside and said in a low voice, "Little Sister Jiang, I don't know if I'm too suspicious, I always feel that the security captain and the others seem to..."

He didn't know how to say it. He felt that he was excluded during this period of time. The group of people who were on good terms with the security captain would gather together from time to time to whisper, but they would soon disperse.

Yes, small groups also form cliques.

There was no problem before, and the security captain was even very nice to them. During this period of time, his attitude changed 180 degrees.

But Yang Jie and others wanted to resign, but they were delayed in approval. They were picky when interviewing new people, but today they suddenly agreed.

Jiang Ning listened for a while before speaking, "When people leave, the tea gets cold, isn't it? Don't think too much, get your wages and go home quickly."

"Little Sister Jiang, you and Instructor Huo should also pay attention to safety. We are leaving."

After seeing them off, Jiang Ning's face immediately darkened.

She gave a warm reminder, then connected the stainless steel door to the power grid, and then connected the heavy wooden door with five bolts.

Back in the house, Doudou had already cooked breakfast.

Seeing her serious expression, Huo Yishen said, "What's wrong?"

Jiang Ning expressed Yang Jie's suspicion, "Yong Ye came suddenly. Logically, in order to ensure the safety of the community, the security captain should not let anyone go at this time."

"Are you worried that the security team has other ideas?"

Jiang Ning thought for a while, "If it were you, would you do something?"

It's not that she is suspicious, but that people's hearts are unpredictable.

She has seen more than once that the young second and third generations have spoken wildly to the security team. Many of them did not abide by the rules of entry and exit, and the security guards were insulted and even slapped when they enforced the rules.

To put it bluntly, who is more noble than who in the end times? If it weren't for earning wages, who would be willing to endure humiliation and have their personality trampled on.

I remember the time when the camel spit and there was a conflict. The security captain came to mediate, but the young master slapped him in the face and started to curse the guard dog.

One or two conflicts were fine, but in the past year or so, there have been not only several conflicts, but also the servants of the rich family have been bossed around, and the security guards are asked to do all the dirty work such as moving and lifting. There are

even some who are even worse, calling people over to take out the garbage and ask them to walk their pets.

There is a huge gap in status, but the security captain is very smooth and always greets all the challenges with a smile. If

you stay in this kind of environment for a long time, will you really have any psychological problems?

If there is a chance to turn the tables in front of them...

Of course, all this is just Jiang Ning's guess, and it is not ruled out that there is some malicious intent.

Huo Yishen said, "We have no evidence. What if the other party has no malicious intent, and no one will believe it if we tell others."

Compared with the security guards, those people are more vigilant about Building 50.

Jiang Ning also thought so, "Don't worry about others, let's take care of ourselves first."

But he still reminded Qin Chuan not to open the door easily, even if the other party is an acquaintance.

Jiang Ning said ugly words first, "Don't ask me to open the door, I will definitely not open it."

Qin Chuan laughed, "I said I would ask you to come over to play mahjong. I should have opened a door in the courtyard wall so that our two families can come and go freely."

They are all smart people, so just stop when you get the point.

Seeing the sun every day, the dog is no longer used to the night. It feels a little anxious and walks back and forth from time to time.

When the eternal night comes, the world seems to have suddenly pressed the pause button.

Villas, buildings, factories, roads, survivors, crops...

everything is swallowed up in the darkness.

And humans have an innate fear of the unknown in the darkness.

Natural light and lamplight are both light, but the feelings they give people are completely different.

When the sun is shining, you can see everything by opening the curtains.

But the lamplight can't. When you open the curtains, there may be a ghost face or a villain with a knife outside the window.
