Rebirth in the end of the world, hold the ex's thigh tightly

The Jinghe Power Station was officially put into use, and the basic electricity usage time of the entire base was extended to 8 hours a day.

If you want to use electricity 24 hours a day, you can buy it with points.

It's almost the end of November, and the temperature is still hovering around 11 degrees, but the daytime hours are getting shorter at a noticeable rate.

People who have just recovered from the extreme heat are about to face the polar night, where no one knows what will happen. Many people can't help but worry whether they can survive the polar night after surviving the extreme cold and heat. In comparison, zombies are not that scary...

The sun rises late and sets early, with the sunrise time gradually delayed until it is no longer visible.

Then the wind began to blow, and gray-black dust covered the sky. The base sounded the alarm, calling on everyone to pay attention to dust prevention.

After a few days, the daylight dimmed and it seemed as if it was dusk all day.

Then dusk turned into nightfall, and finally it was pitch dark.

On December 12, the official broadcast announced that polar night had arrived.

The darkness of the polar night is different from the darkness of the normal day and night cycle. It has an eerie and thick feeling, like a black fog covering the earth, and the visibility of daily light sources is greatly reduced.

The laboratory took samples of the air and found nothing abnormal. Jiang Nian and Gao Xuyang took turns using their special powers to test it, but there were no strange reactions.

Except for the darkness, everything seemed normal, but everyone felt that something must be happening in the darkness that they could not see.

Even Cheng Jing and Jiang Nian, who had some knowledge of the polar night in their previous life, felt uneasy.

Now that his supernatural powers have been made public, Jiang Nian has become much more relaxed than before and no longer hides them. Occasionally, he will use purification on a large scale in planned farm areas, just as if he is doing a good deed.

In addition to running to the laboratory building every day and helping Gao Xuyang with special "treatment", the coverage area of ​​his supernatural powers has now expanded to a diameter of 800 meters.

According to the range limit predicted by the dog doctor in the previous life, it is only 200 meters away, and it will be very fast.

After reaching the limit, the purification energy will be purified to the maximum extent and then stabilized.

Darkness makes people feel fear instinctively, so the alert level inside and outside the South City base has been raised to the highest level. In addition to being wary of unknown situations outside the base, we must also be careful of someone inside the base taking the opportunity to cause trouble.

All public lighting facilities remain on 24 hours a day.

As for other daily electricity needs, it is basically enough even if the survivors do not buy extra electricity.

In short, although the South City base with a crystal core power station cannot be said to be brightly lit in the polar night, it can at least allow the survivors to maintain a normal life.

This is much better than other bases.

Now the outside world has known that the South City Base collects zombie crystal cores in order to generate electricity, and all major bases have sent out exploration teams to search for medium crystal cores. Unfortunately, the second one has not been found so far.

For this reason, some people who think they are smart and righteous have proposed:

The existing medium crystal cores in the South City base should be used in rotation so that each base can make use of the crystal core energy resources.

Fortunately, without Minister Wang representing the South City Base, the managers of other official bases rebuked this mindless thinking of dividing equally and proposed instead:

Each base should provide various resources to the best of its ability and cooperate with the Nancheng base to develop more detoxifying serums and subsequent antiviral vaccines.

The Nancheng base can distribute detoxifying serum in proportion to the resource support provided by other bases.

Some people support and some people oppose reasonable proposals.

In response to the outside world's clamor for medium crystal cores, the South City base is also paying close attention, hoping to find more.

I did find some clues:

Some people have seen people with special abilities who can absorb other people's special abilities in other places, but they died in the early stages of their special abilities being exposed, and were killed by their companions.

The medium crystal core itself is not strong, it simply absorbs and releases energy, but this property makes others afraid of it, even teammates will be wary of it, and it is easy to be killed.

Team 017 held a meeting. After reading the investigation report from Chu Yi, Jiang Nian couldn't help but sigh:

"Just like my purification ability, if you don't act carefully, you'll be sent to the laboratory. It's threatening but not aggressive, so it's easy to end up badly."

Everyone nodded. This was the fact. Even now, there were still people who wanted to put Jiang Nian on the experimental table.

Zhao Lei echoed:

"Unless you are particularly cautious, or you know from the beginning that you are special, such as awakening the ability to store things secretly and don't want others to know, otherwise I will tell the people around me as soon as possible."

Exposing special abilities, whether in a team or alone, is a powerful bargaining chip for survival in the apocalypse.

Jiang Nian is a cautious person who knows his own peculiarities, so he not only saved himself but also helped those around him.

‘Woo——’

The alarm whistle sounded and the meeting just ended. Everyone left the meeting room and started a new round of work.

Heavy weapons are deployed in front of each entrance and exit of the base, as well as around the test shed outside the protective wall.

The South City base has all the good resources, so it's normal to be envied, jealous and hated. This makes those who cause trouble seem even more stupid.

Considering that animals are more alert in the dark, all the military dogs in the base were released and stood ready together with the armed troops.

For outsiders who come to the base in the dark, the screening is more stringent.

Cheng Jing and his army of superpowers cooperated with Li Sheng to strengthen the maintenance of internal security in the base.

Xiao Qi now basically follows Li Shuhui regularly and is a very competent partner and bodyguard.

Whether outside or inside the base, as long as any abnormal or extreme troublemakers are found, they can be shot directly, and whether to kill or maim them depends on the situation.

It turns out that the cautious approach of the South City Base was correct:

Just a few days after the polar night arrived, the central satellite broadcast continued to expose that riots broke out in bases with fewer regulations and higher degrees of freedom after the polar night arrived.

Civil wars frequently break out between teams of psychics, some taking advantage of the dark to steal supplies and kill people, or simply trying to seize control of the base.

This is what lack of order is like, people will consume each other for their own selfish interests.

There were also people at the South City base who wanted to make trouble, but unfortunately they were unable to do so.

The army's strength is relatively restrained. After all, they are all their own people. If the problem can be solved peacefully, then do so. If not, then try to reduce the death rate as much as possible, so that there will be more volunteers to carry bricks.
