Chapter 292 The Arrival Of Eternal Night
They used to joke that the 49th and 50th buildings were unfounded worries, but now, let alone how envious they are, the three-meter-high stone wall is surrounded by an electric grid, and it is extremely safe at first glance.
Immediately, many people came to Qin Chuan, wanting to get building materials to fence the wall.
Unexpectedly, Qin Chuan changed his normal routine, "Everyone, I'm really sorry, but all the building materials that can be found have been confiscated by the government to build a new city. I really don't have any channels for this. Why don't you find other places?"
He is not stupid, what if every house is repaired as solid as gold, and then the thugs attack indiscriminately?
Besides, he really didn't lie, there are more and more people in Fengcheng, and it is indeed becoming more and more difficult to find building materials.
...
I fell asleep in the morning and felt my hands and feet getting colder and colder.
I pulled the quilt and covered it casually, but it was still chilly.
Jiang Ning turned on the bedside lamp and found that it was already nine o'clock in the morning.
Halo, overslept again.
Feeling that the room was darker than usual, she opened the curtains, but it was dark outside.
Jiang Ning was stunned, Yong Ye was ahead of schedule.
More than two months ahead of schedule.
Huo Yishen woke up, "What's wrong?"
It's cold and sleepy, and there was an in-depth communication last night, both of them overslept.
"Eternal Night is here."
Take out the thermometer, the room has reached zero.
The house was decorated to keep warm, and the outside is estimated to be more than minus 20 degrees.
Huo Yishen got up quickly and went to Doudou's room to add a quilt.
"Big brother, why is it getting dark?"
Huo Yishen turned on the light, "Don't be afraid, Yong Ye is here."
Doudou is wearing constant temperature clothing, and only his hands and feet are cold, "Will Xiaomu's big brother freeze?"
Huo Yi was stunned for a moment, "Do you care about Xiaomu?"
Doudou thought for a while, "He treats me very well, he is obedient and helps me with work. What if Dong gets sick?"
"You call him on the walkie-talkie."
Doudou put on her socks and immediately turned the walkie-talkie out.
Huo Yishen got dressed, and turned on the lights on the balcony on the second floor as agreed by the community, dispelling the darkness in front of the villa.
With a flashlight, go to the backyard to check on the poultry.
Animals also have a biological clock, and it is dazzling every day, but now they can't see their fingers, and they huddle together uneasily.
A glass shed is not as warm as a room, and the poultry are shivering from the cold.
Huo Yishen turned on the lights and spread the straw prepared in advance in the shed.
Jiang Ning followed, feeling that 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 planting shed, they are all stored in the space, and it is not too late to take them out when needed.
After finishing their work in the backyard, the two went to the rooftop to process the herbs they had grown.
Standing on the roof, you can hear the rumbling sound of the engine, and the lights of the villas are lit up one after another.
The lights didn't illuminate a wide area, and in Yongye, where you couldn't see your fingers, it looked extremely dim and small.
Security guards are still patrolling, and flashlights are lit on the road from time to time.
There was a knock on the door, and it was Yang Jie and the others who came from Aoyuan.
"Sister Jiang, we are leaving."
Yang Jie didn't expect Yongye to come so fast, he had to go home quickly.
Jiang Ning frowned slightly, "Have you recruited someone to replace you?"
"The captain just said he's recruited."
"Okay, you listen to Captain He and go home quickly, you have to go back in groups, be careful on the way."
Yang Jie nodded, his expression hesitated to speak.
Jiang Ning was puzzled, "What's wrong?"
Yang Jie pulled her to the side and said in a low voice: "Sister Jiang, I don't know if I'm paranoid, 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 squeezed out during this period of time. The group of people who made friends with the security captain gathered together from time to time to mutter, and it was obvious that they dispersed quickly.
Yes, small groups also form cliques.
There was no problem before, and the security captain even treated them very well. During this time, his attitude has changed 180 degrees.
But Yang Jie and others were about to resign, but they didn't get approval for a long time. The interviewers were picky, but today they suddenly agreed.
After listening to Jiang Ning, he took a long time to speak, "Isn't that the way people leave their tea to cool off? Don't think too much about it. Go home as soon as you get your salary."
"Sister Jiang, you and Instructor Huo should also pay attention to safety, we are leaving."
After sending them away, Jiang Ning's face immediately sank.
She posted warm reminders, then energized the stainless steel gate and the grid, and connected the heavy wooden gate with five bolts.
Back in the house, Doudou has already cooked breakfast.
Seeing her serious face, Huo Yi said deeply, "What's wrong?"
Jiang Ning expressed Yang Jie's suspicion, "Yong Ye came suddenly. It stands to reason that in order to ensure the safety of the community, the security captain shouldn't let him 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 vote for it?"
It's not that she is suspicious, but that people are unpredictable.
She saw more than once that the second and third generations of young people uttered wild words to the security team. Many of them did not abide by the rules of entry and exit, but the security guards enforced the rules but were insulted, and some were even slapped.
To put it bluntly, who is more noble than anyone else in the last days, if it is not for earning wages, who is willing to endure humiliation and being trampled on their personality.
I remember that time when the alpaca spat and started a conflict, the security captain came to persuade the fight, the young master slapped him backhand and scolded the watchdog.
It's nothing more than one or two conflicts. Not only have there been several conflicts in the past year, but even the servants of the rich family are bossy, and they are called security guards when they do dirty work.
There are even more excessive ones, calling people over to take out the garbage, and some asking to walk pets.
There is a huge disparity in status, but the captain of the security guard is all-round, and he always greets with a smile no matter how difficult it is.
After being in this environment for a long time, is it really okay psychologically?
If there is a chance to stand up in front of them...
Of course, all of this is just Jiang Ning's guess, and a bit of malice cannot be ruled out.
Huo Yi said deeply, "We don't have evidence, what if the other party is not malicious, and no one will believe it when they tell it."
Compared with the security guards, those people are more vigilant about Building 50.
Jiang Ning also thinks so, "We don't care about others, we should take care of ourselves first."
However, I still reminded Qin Chuan that Yong Ye should not open the door easily, even if the other party is an acquaintance.
Jiang Ning said ugly words, "Don't ask me to open the door, I will never open it."
Qin Chuan laughed, "I also told you to come and play mahjong. If I had known, I would have opened the door in the courtyard wall. Our two families can come and go freely."
They're all smart people, just stop there.
Seeing the sun every day, the dog is not used to the night, and feels a little restless, walking up and down from time to time.
With the arrival of Eternal Night, the world seemed to press the pause button suddenly.
Villas, buildings, factories, roads, survivors, crops...
Everything is swallowed up in darkness.
And human beings have the fear of life for the unknown in the dark.
Natural light and lighting are both light, but they give people a world of different feelings.
When the sun shines, draw the curtains to see everything.
But the light can't. When you draw the curtains, there may be a ghost outside the window, or a villain with a knife.
