Chapter 181: The Sun Disappears
During this period of marriage, nothing has changed in life, but Lin Wanqiao feels that everything has changed.
For example, Shen Shaoyu is now sticking to her openly.
Take a walk together.
Mop the floor to be together.
Even taking a bath...... Cough.
On this day, after the family finished lunch, Lin Wanqiao planned to go to Ye Qian's house for a walk.
"Wait, I'll go too." Shen Shaoyu walked out of the kitchen with an apron, his hands were full of foam, "There are only two bowls, I'll wash them immediately." β
Today he is on vacation.
The two walked hand in hand on the road at the base.
At noon, the sun is just right, and the warm breeze blows on people, warm.
When it was extremely cold, there was nothing on the roadside of the base, and in less than a month, clumps of fine weeds had grown in the mud, occasionally mixed with a small yellow flower.
The "greenery" of the ground in ordinary residential areas is even more surprising.
Wherever you can see the soil, all the green leafy vegetables are planted at the moment, and at the right temperature, the cabbage grows wildly, and it is green in the sun, which is gratifying.
Life goes on and on.
There are people coming and going on the base road, most of them are in their suits and walking in a hurry.
They are not as leisurely and elegant as Lin Wanqiao, enjoying the scenery.
After ordinary people enter the base, in order to survive, they can only keep working, working, and working again, and they dare not stop at all.
Some people are luckier, or have a stronger background, and they eat the public food directly like Shen Shaoyu.
The vast majority of people are not so lucky, and there are only two options.
First, take over the bounty task of the base. There are two types of suspension, one is official, which is lower risk, there are salvage, transportation, search and rescue, etc., and the remuneration is relatively small. The other is private, the content is not limited, and most of them have a high risk factor, but the reward is also high.
Second, go out to look for supplies by yourself.
What these missions have in common is that they all need to be outside the base.
The situation outside is already recognized as dangerous, and various groups have formed gangs and divided the territory, but they are unwilling to go out whenever they can get by.
Most of the garrison's daily mission is to secure the perimeter of the base.
Off topic.
The two came to the intersection of the community where Ye Qian's house was located.
Lin Wanqiao came back last time or at the Ye family's housewarming banquet.
Lin Wanqiao, these six-story small buildings, only felt that they all looked the same, she was stupid, and she didn't remember the specific location at all.
Fortunately, Ye Qian was already waiting at the intersection.
Unexpectedly, Ye Qian led them to the outside of the community.
"Sissi, isn't your house here?"
Ye Qian tilted her head and smiled: "Thanks to you, I moved." β
Their family has moved from a cramped one-bedroom apartment of 30 square meters to a two-bedroom apartment of 60 square meters.
The location turned out to be in the unit.
It turned out that Ye Qian's job position could be arranged for staff dormitories, and she originally intended to apply for discounts.
Unexpectedly, after the unit learned about the situation, it directly provided the Ye family with a two-bedroom staff dormitory without saying a word, which did not mean to please Wang Deming, no wonder Ye Qian thanked Lin Wanqiao.
"We rented out the original house, and we can make up for it every month."
Sitting in the living room chatting, Lin Wanqiao saw two plant fill lights on the ground in the corner.
"What is this?"
Ye Qian glanced at it, "Fill light." β
"I know it's a fill light, how can you have this?"
Lin Wanqiao didn't tell Ye Qian about the eternal night, but only told her to continue to stock up on food, except for acid rain, the eternal night will not bring danger, as long as there is food, don't panic in her heart.
Ye Qian became unusually serious: "Of course I bought it, it cost me a month's salary." I take care of the financial part, the base procurement accounts can be seen, the biggest and most conspicuous expenditure recently is this lamp, I think about it, it is impossible to stock up on this for no reason to go to the base, it must be used next, so I followed and bought two. If I can use it best, if I can't use it, it's not a waste to sell it. β
Lin Wanqiao was dumbfounded when she heard this, is this still the delicate girl she knows who doesn't know the world.
"Qiaoqiao, I can't always rely on you." Ye Qian sighed, "Our family has always relied on your help to pull us over, which makes me feel very useless." β
Father Ye and Mother Ye listened and nodded again and again.
There is a banquet in the world, although they don't want to be separated from the Lin family, but if there is really a day when they rely on others for a long time, how can they survive in the future?
Lin Wanqiao was relieved and emotional when she heard it.
She briefly mentions the matter of eternal night and acid rain.
Now that Ye Qian's family lives in the unit, even if it is acid rain, it will be much safer than living outside, and she has nothing to worry about.
After a few small talks, the two said goodbye and went home.
As soon as she walked out of the intersection of the unit building, Lin Wanqiao sneezed.
I don't know when the wind blowing on people became much cooler.
"Come, put it on." Shen Shaoyu took off his coat and put it on Lin Wanqiao's body.
No, why is it so dark?
She looked up at the sky, and when she came, it was still bright and sunny, and although the sun was still hanging in the same position at this time, it always felt covered with a white veil, hazy, and unreal.
Without direct sunlight, the temperature dropped by several degrees.
It's like a prelude to a summer afternoon thundershower, and the sudden dark clouds obscure the sky.
Someone rubbed his arms and passed by, complaining, "It's only half past two, it's as cold as the middle of the night, I knew to wear more coats when I came out." β
"Let's go?" Shen Shaoyu saw that Lin Wanqiao had been watching the sky, and urged.
"Ayu, do you think the sun is a little darker than when we first came out?" Lin Wanqiao suddenly turned around and asked him.
"Huh?"
He also looked up and began to observe, the intensity of the sun's rays was like five or six o'clock about to go down.
The two stood in place for another five or six minutes.
The four eyes looked at each other, and they all saw affirmation in each other's eyes.
"Right?"
"That's right."
"Hurry back."
The two of them ran home, but in just a few minutes, the little white dot that was not real almost merged with the sky, and they could no longer be found.
Lin Wanqiao was almost certain that the polar night was coming.
The sun is gone.
The last light in the sky was like a candle running out of oil, struggling for two seconds before it was completely extinguished.
The whole world was plunged into darkness in an instant.
This kind of black is completely different from the usual night black.
There was no moonlight, no street lights, no fingers out of sight, it was a completely uniform black.
If it weren't for the frightened cry of a child in her ears, she would have wondered if she was blind.
"Wow - Mommy, Mommy! I'm afraidβ"
Lin Wanqiao took out two flashlights from her "trouser pocket".
"Smack."
The light illuminates the path below.
Like the only little light in this dark world.
She shone in the direction of the crying.
A little girl with pigtails was standing helplessly on the side of the road wiping her tears.
