The announcement of the date of the Long Night Period is a matter that needs to be paid great attention to by the residents of Odolin, and the heat of this matter has even suppressed the heat of the physique potion announced by the Dodd Group earlier, especially when it is learned that the duration of the Long Night Period is more than 20 days long, which makes all the people inside and outside the city of Odolyn feel inexplicably nervous.

Many people who are able to do so have chosen to leave the city of Odoline temporarily, go to other cities for a while, and then come back after the long night period has passed, but there are still many people who can only stay in the city, and even the residents outside the city have temporarily entered the public shelter in the city to live temporarily, waiting for this long night period to pass.

In the days of the long night, the mutated monsters hidden in the primeval forests and mountains outside the city rioted, and the attack on the city of Odoline was only one of the reasons for the worries and fears of the residents of Odolin, what really frightened the residents of Odoline was the various strange events that appeared with the long night, and the forces that caused these strange events to occur were unstoppable by the city walls, and these forces were hidden in the darkness, and would suddenly appear when necessary to drag the victims into a situation that was even more painful than death.

The only power that can fight against this strange event is various supernatural powers and the stinky camphor fuel produced by the fermentation of stinky camphor wood, so after the time and duration of the long night period were announced, all the residents of Otorin who planned to stay in the city flocked to the fuel workshop that they usually don't go to, purchased a lot of stinkwood fuel, and hoarded it at home, so as not to run out of stinkwood fuel before the long night period ended.

The Stinky Camphor Tree is the most common and abundant type of wood in the Vilun Continent, and this wood produces a stinky camphor fruit, which is collected by shamans and processed into insect repellent and a hallucinogen, which is used in psychic rituals.

The wood of the camphor tree itself is not the kind of wood that is particularly resistant to burning, and when burned, it will emit a foul smell, and long-term inhalation of this stench will make people's sense of smell fail, and more seriously, it will affect vision, so the stinky camphor tree has been regarded as the least popular wood by people in the Moissanite continent for a long time.

Both the earlier colonizers and the later Moisan governments wanted to cut down the trees and plant other, more valuable trees.

It's just that the viability of the stinky camphor tree is too strong, as long as there is a seed taking root in a certain place, that place will grow a stinky camphor shrub in just a few months, and in another year, it will become a stinky camphor forest, so it is almost impossible for the stinky camphor tree to be completely extinct, and governments can only see a tree in a limited area, and do not let it have the possibility of growing.

However, with the development of industrial civilization, the demand for fuel in various factories is increasing day by day, and the existing combustible tree species in the Moisan continent have begun to show a shortage, although countries can target the direction of mining to the wasteland, if they do so, it will inevitably lead to religious, political, and military problems, and eventually a war will break out that will affect the entire continent, which is something that no one wants to see.

As a result, countries began to focus on the stinky camphor trees that can be seen everywhere in the Moissanite continent, and jointly mobilized manpower and material resources to solve the problem of the use of wood for stinkor trees, and finally a scholar discovered a fermentation method similar to wine-making, to ferment the wood, it does not take too long, only three to five days of fermentation, it can completely solve the odor produced after the burning of stinky camphor wood, and the fermented wood fuel can also produce enough firepower, although it is much worse than those combustible wood, but it is enough as supplementary fuel, until then the stinky camphor tree can be used。

Subsequently, shamanism discovered that the combustible materials supported by the camphor tree after not completely removing the stench can alleviate some of the negative forces produced by the long night period to a certain extent, including the power to make people violent and irritable, as well as some unknown forces that cause strange events to occur.

So, after each long night period, people who can afford it buy some camphor fuel, and big cities like Odorin will also replace those street lamps on the main roads with this camphor fuel.

After the news came out that Odolin and other southern regions and countries of the Moisan continent would fall into the long night period, people and things from other places had to be rearranged because of this accident, and Tolan, who was originally going to take the airship Long Wing to Odolin, also had to temporarily abandon the plan, and other commercial transactions with the southern long night countries and regions, except for particularly urgent transactions, were also stopped, everyone knew very well that walking in the wild in this world was already a very dangerous thing now, and the wild within the coverage of the long night period was ten times more dangerous。

Time passed quickly, and a few days later, the long night period came as scheduled, one moment the weather was still shining, the next moment it was instantly plunged into darkness, and the sky was completely replaced by darkness, and the stars and the moon were not even visible.

After a brief panic, those who walked on the street turned on the small waist lamp hanging from their waists, lit the stinky camphor fuel that had been prepared in the lamp, adjusted the flames, and after getting used to the slight stench emanating from the top of the waist lamp, they walked down the street like normal people, and went to the place where they needed to go.

Although they are protected by the waist lamp of stinky camphor fuel, they will not be affected by the special power of the long night period for the time being, but according to previous experience, they have been exposed to the dark for a long time, even if they have stinker camphor fuel, they will also be eroded by the unknown dark force, so the pace of pedestrians on the road has obviously accelerated a lot, they must deal with their own things as soon as possible, and then return to the company or home to stay with other people, try to avoid being alone.

At the same time, the lighting team of the city government of Odolin also began to light the street lamps on the road that were specially used to burn camphor fuel in a group of three, compared to the personal waist lamps, the street lamps on the street were put in sufficient fuel, and the flames were not adjusted, and the light produced after burning could illuminate the boundaries around the street lamps as much as possible, and the pedestrians on the road also began to consciously walk according to the route of the street lamps, so as to avoid falling into the darkness that the street lamps could not illuminate.

Because the smell of stinkwood after burning can suppress human emotions and not be affected by the power in the dark, even after some treatment, the smell in the stinkwood fuel has weakened a lot, but when all the street lamps using stinkwood fuel are lit, the entire city of Odoline is immediately found by an inexplicable smell.

In the ruins of Dodd Group's factory area, a temporary stinky camphor brazier was also lit, illuminating the entire construction site, the workers on the construction site were not too affected, still focused on doing their own thing, most of these workers are from local backgrounds, they know very well that in the case of so many people gathering, there is stinkwood fuel around them, and everyone has a medicine to solve emotional abnormalities, so they will encounter much less danger.

However, because the burning brazier is the kind of fire that does not have a fire cover and is open, and the area around the factory is surrounded by the First Witch Group led by Sylvia to arrange some forbidden forces, which hinders the air circulation to a certain extent, and then makes the air in the ruins of the factory much more smelly than the outside.

The locals were accustomed to the smell and even had some resistance to it, but for Sylvia, they were obviously uncomfortable, so they had to use some methods to filter the air in the factory tents, which was slightly better.

But someone like Emily, who has to make frequent factory rounds, has to endure a stench every time she leaves the camp, and this time she complains, "We should have left before the long night came." ”

"We left the site here who is responsible. Sylvia asked rhetorically, and without waiting for Emily to respond, she asked, "Where is the progress of the rebuilding over there?"

"The inscription team has begun to inscribe the Turing root for the inner layer, it will take about two days to complete, and the components of the outer layer have been almost made, and it should be able to be assembled after the inner Turing root is inscribed, and the foundation renovation project of the entire melting furnace will be completed before the end of the long night period if it goes well. Emily replied earnestly.

Sylvia nodded with satisfaction and said, "Very good, so that even if those guys find an abnormality, it is impossible to stop it." ”

At this time, there was a sudden noise outside the tent, and then I saw Su hurriedly walking in from outside, facing Sylvia, and said, "Something happened." ”

Seeing Su's serious expression, Sylvia didn't ask much, so she immediately stood up and led the people out, and asked Su to briefly explain the situation on the way.

It turned out that there was a miserable cry in a collapsed factory waiting to reinforce the foundation just now, and after the nearby workers heard it, some people went in to check, these people were all workers sent from other places, and they had not experienced such a thing as a long night, and those local workers knew very well that a strange incident might have happened, and they all gathered around the brazier, the area where the light was shining, and did not go inside.

Su was in charge of the safety of the factory, so he naturally rushed over as soon as possible, and quickly counted the number of people, and found that there were seven fewer workers in charge of the reconstruction project of the factory, and these seven people were all outsiders without exception, and four of them were the people who entered the factory when they heard the sound later, and the other three people did not know when they disappeared.

Soon Sylvia brought people to the side of the factory where the accident occurred, and the workers who had gathered here had been brought to the camp under Su's orders, leaving only a team of factory guards, these guards seemed to be very nervous, and after seeing Sylvia and others coming, they were slightly relieved, and immediately reported the situation just now.

Just now, just as Su rushed back to inform Sylvia, there was another scream from the factory, but this time no one came over there again, and the screams stopped after a dozen times.

The rebuilding plant is not on the edge of the plant, but in the center of the plant, near the core smelting furnace, and is responsible for the secondary annealing of the steel coming out of the smelting furnace, and then rolling it into various specifications of steel, and then transporting it to other plants for subsequent processing.

In the whole factory area, there are five such plants, and they are all next to the smelting furnace, not long ago when the accident occurred, these plants are also one of the most seriously damaged plants, almost all the ground parts of the plant have collapsed, leaving only some load-bearing columns and foundation parts are relatively well preserved, and the next reconstruction work, the foundation and load-bearing columns of these plants will be re-reinforced, and the plants will be built for different purposes, no longer just for secondary processing.

Although it is located near the main tent of the entire reconstruction site, it may be like a dark lamp, but it has become a place that everyone ignores, and there are only four braziers around the entire factory, and the light of these braziers can only dimly illuminate some roads, because the surrounding trees cannot illuminate the inside of the factory at all.

"Didn't you warn them not to go to places where there is no light?" Sylvia frowned at the situation of the factory, and turned to the steward in charge of the area.

"You know, outsiders who haven't been through the long night period don't really understand how dangerous it is. Without waiting for the steward to respond, Su explained for the other party and said: "Among the people who have accidents during the long night every year, outsiders account for the vast majority. ”

Sylvia didn't blame the steward for not taking good care of her workers, and looked at the dark factory for a moment of silence, and said, "Sue and Emily let me in, and the others stay outside." ”

The other witches of the other First Witch Group around him said with some worry: "Lord Lady, we ...... too"

"You don't have to follow, if something happens, with your strength, it will drag me down by my side. Sylvia unceremoniously interrupted them, and bluntly spoke her mind.

Then, without looking at the ugly faces of her subordinates, she led Sue and Emily towards the factory, and soon entered the ruins of the factory from a cleared road.

The moment she entered the factory, Sylvia turned on the energy detection module in the universal recorder on her wrist, and soon an energy wavelength map appeared on her retina, allowing her to intuitively see the details of any abnormal energy fluctuations in the factory.

This universal recorder is the universal recorder that Leo gave to Sylvia, it is more complete than the universal recorder used by Leo, and this universal recorder is not a simple civilian version, but an explorer version that specializes in some planetary expeditions, and it has many functional modules.

Leo has never used this type of universal recorder either, and can only unlock some generic modules, one of which is the Energy Detection Module.

This universal recorder was given to Sylvia by Leo to use, and also taught Sylvia how to use it and some cosmic lingua franca, Sylvia has done a lot of things with this universal recorder over the years, and has also gained a lot of benefits, and is not much worse than Leo in terms of proficiency in use.
