Chapter 170 The Human Heart Is Unpredictable
However, Gu Yanxu comforted Bai Tang, saying, "It's okay, we're not afraid of polar night, our whole family is here."
Bai Tang grasped Gu Yanxu's hand in return: "It's good that everyone is here."
If we can't take care of everyone else, we can only take care of our own families first.
As long as our family pings Ping It's good that Anan's things are all together.
Other matters are beyond our control, and we can't possibly manage them all.
Gu Yanxu also said, "Yes, those major events are managed by the country and the base, and have little to do with us."
We just need to take good care of ourselves.
We can consider offering assistance within our capabilities.
However, there's no need to reveal everything; doing so might actually harm your own family.
Bai Tang sighed deeply and said:
"That's true. People are never satisfied. We can only take care of our own families."
The two fell asleep while talking, so they didn't see the brief darkness outside.
A flash of black streak appeared quickly in the sky outside, as if the night had only been there for a moment before disappearing.
At this time, most people in the base are asleep.
Aside from the patrol personnel who spotted that fleeting glimpse of the black sky.
They felt that night was about to return, and they could resume their normal routines.
But they didn't know that it wasn't the return of night, but that night would last forever.
The base broadcasts the same time as usual early the next morning.
Then they notified: "Please take note, the general public at the base."
Last night, our Patrol Team members spotted a fleeting glimpse of darkness in the sky.
If you see a fleeting glimpse of darkness in the next couple of days, please do not panic.
This observation suggests it is a sign of the return of night.
The people in the base didn't care about this; they didn't care about day or night, as long as they could survive.
While the base's loudspeaker was broadcasting the announcement, Bai Tang and his family were sitting at the table eating breakfast.
Lin Zhou said, "This must not be an ordinary night."
Based on past disaster patterns, this should be a polar night, not a return to normal.
Gu Yanxu nodded, looking at Lin Zhouapprovingly: "Not bad, not bad, you've learned by analogy."
Lin Fan said, "Then wouldn't we be in darkness 24 hours a day?"
Bai Tang said from the side, "Now it seems that it's not impossible."
So after we finish eating, we'll reinforce the walls and electric fences around both courtyards again.
In case of any emergencies, we can respond promptly.
After finishing his meal, Lin Feng put down his chopsticks and said:
"If it's really possible for my sister-in-law to do that, then let's reinforce the outside of the gate with an electric fence."
Although this place is close to the military district and the Authorities, one must always be wary of people's intentions.
Bai Tang said, "Okay, we'll install it after we eat."
When polar night comes, there will definitely be some riots at the base.
For our own safety, it's best to take extra precautions.
Grandpa Gu also said, "Yes, things look calm on the outside right now."
But who knows what dark thoughts are lurking in their hearts?
It's better to have multiple layers of protection; that way, we can all feel at ease.
They had finished breakfast while they were talking, and Father Gu and Mother Gu stayed in the house to clean up the dishes.
Bai Tang and Gu Yanxu led Lin Zhou and the others to their yard.
Then Bai Tang went to a small hut next door and took out some of the electrical grid, tools, and materials they needed from the space inside.
This small hut is used as a storage room by their family; they keep some messy but not very useful things here.
After Bai Tang took the items out, he called Lin Feng and the others in to move the items out.
Lin Feng and his team had already installed an electric fence once, and they skillfully installed it outside the gate.
Some passing neighbors even asked, "What are you doing here?"
Lin Feng said, "Install the power grid."
The neighbor asked, "Why are you installing this thing? Our base is so safe."
Gu Yanxu said, "We have elderly people and children in our family."
There are times when we're not home, and times when the Patrol Team can't reach us; we're doing this for our own safety.
The neighbor muttered a few words before walking away, ignoring the little incident.
Lin Feng and his family continued installing their power grid, doing so in a very high-profile manner.
It quickly attracted the attention of others, andGu Yu also came over.
She asked, puzzled, "Why did your family decide to install this?"
Bai Tang said, "One should always be wary of others; we are doing this just in case."
"Why don't you add an extra layer of protection to your home when you go back?"
Bai Tang then pulled Gu Yu aside and whispered some words to him.
Then Gu Yu nodded and said, "You're right, I'll have my Mr. Tang reinforce it when I get back."
She rushed home, and Lin Fan asked curiously, "Sister-in-law, what were you talking about?"
Bai Tang said, "I hinted to her what might happen next."
She was a sensible person and didn't ask why.
She rushed home to reinforce the gate and the wall.
They quickly installed electric fences outside the gates of both courtyards.
Then they put up a warning sign next to them, and went home and locked the gate.
Simply connect the power grid and disconnect the power when you leave the house.
There are also controllable buttons outside the door; Lin Zhou was the one who tinkered with these things.
It greatly facilitated their travel and solved the inconvenience caused by the power grid.
Gu Yanxu then led them to inspect the electric fence around the house again.
Check the walls for any damage, to preventpeople from scaling the walls and robbing people during polar night.
Bai Tang recalled that during a previous polar night, some houses with low walls were broken into and robbed by thugs who scaled the walls.
So, just in case, they had to be extremely careful.
Because in the darkness, no one knows what filthy things might come out.
Only by using the worst possible assumptions about others can you better protect yourself.
The electric fences on the walls of both courtyards have been inspected.
With nothing damaged, Lin Feng and the others put the unused items back into the small warehouse, while Bai Tang put those items back into his spatial storage.
The group returned to the living room, and Gu Yanxu said, "We've done everything we could."
I just hope that if a polar night really comes, the base can control the situation.
Otherwise, we would definitely suffer the same fate in the base.
Bai Jiyang said, "Brother-in-law, don't worry, we still have weapons."
Lin Fan also said, "That's right, if that day really comes, we will definitely not be the ones who suffer."
Grandpa Gu and the others said, "Let nature take its course."
Since we can't change it, let's face it.
After finishing those things outside, it was already noon.
Lin Feng and the others all said, "We're exhausted from working, we need to have a good meal."
With so many things in Bai Tang's space, they certainly won't be mistreated.
