My Endless Life.

Chapter 440 The Disappeared Station

Sun Yu is a member of Jianshan Village, an ordinary student who came out of the mountains.

She used to be the pride of her family and the envy of other people in the village. If nothing had changed, she would have had a bright future as she had been admitted to one of the ten most famous universities in the country.

But alas, there is no 'if'.

The world is changing so fast. In just less than half a year, the world has changed from a prosperous place to what it is now.

Even if Sun Yu had not heard from his senior schoolmate, who was on good terms with him, vaguely mentioning something about the end of the world, Sun Yu might not have survived!

After all, no one would have thought that what everyone thought was a "joke" could save lives.

Even when Sun Yu first heard her senior sister ask her to prepare doomsday supplies, she thought it was a joke. If that senior sister wasn't in a very high position, the child of a high-ranking official, and her teacher wasn't a big shot in the academy of sciences, Sun Yu would probably have just regarded her words as a joke.

Now Sun Yu was extremely glad that he had listened to his senior and stockpiled supplies in advance.

He was even more thankful that he had earned some money working online before, which enabled him to buy enough coal for his family to live on for several years.

Otherwise, now that no one can contact them, they would probably have died in the cold winter.

But even so, Sun Yu felt that their family could not hold on for much longer.

crunch.

The door opened, and with the cold wind blowing in, Sun Yu's father, Sun Zhongguo, walked in from outside.

He took off his fur coat, shook off the snow on it, looked at the mother and daughter sitting by the stove at home to keep warm, and said in a deep voice:

"…I went to Old Wu's house and found that their wax was almost used up and they didn't have any extra to lend to us."

Sun Yu's mother raised her head when she heard this. The light from the charcoal fire in the stove flickered on her face, making her already ugly complexion even uglier.

"Really? Are you kidding us?"

After hearing what his mother said, Sun Yu spoke without waiting for his father to speak:

"Mom, everyone wants to hide something at this time. If they don't want to borrow the candles, forget it."

"What do you mean by forget it? How can we forget it? If it weren't for you, would the Wu family and the others in the village still be alive today? I would say that they should all thank our Yu'er!"

Sun's mother was very angry.

If Sun Yu hadn't told everyone to stock up on supplies and daily necessities, half of the people in this village would probably have died!

Now only three or two families have been killed, and hundreds of villagers are still alive. This is all thanks to Sun Yu.

But now, not only did those people not appreciate their kindness, they even refused to lend them candles.

The Wu family at the head of the village sells wax. Who could believe a family selling wax saying they have run out of wax at home!
"Come on, what are you arguing about? If you have time to complain, you might as well go find some old flashlights. Maybe they can be used."

Sun Zhongguo felt annoyed listening to his wife's calls and shouted impatiently to his mother.

Sun's mother simply threw an old flashlight that looked quite old onto the ground.

The old flashlight was equipped with thick batteries, and it fell to the ground with a clang. Sun Zhongguo glared at her, and his mother glared back at him:
"Why are you being so mean to me? Do you think I didn't find a flashlight? Not to mention this old flashlight, I even took out the oil lamps that I used as my dowry, but none of them worked!"

It has been more than half a month since the power outage. During this period, Sun Yu's family tried every possible way, but failed to restore electricity.

Cell phones, flashlights, computers...it seemed that everything related to modern human civilization could no longer be used. If not, their family would not have gone to Old Wu's house to borrow candles.

Fortunately, there is an old-fashioned oil lamp in the house. I don’t know what era it is from. Although it requires electricity to ignite, as long as there is oil in it, it can be lit without electricity.

However, the Sun family did not have much lamp oil to maintain the oil lamps. If they continued like this and could not find a way to maintain the light source within a month, then they would have to rely on the light from the stove for lighting.

Sun Yu was also worried when he heard this.

She is a top student at the University of Biology and has some knowledge of physics theory. Although not as good as students majoring in physics, she still knows the basic theory of electricity.

So Sun Yu knew very well that the disappearance of electricity was definitely not normal.

This violates the long-standing laws of physics.

Even the laws of physics cannot be used as a standard. Even though Sun Yu is a student at the School of Physics, he probably can't do anything about it.

dong dong dong-

While the Sun family was arguing, someone suddenly knocked on the gate outside the courtyard.

Hearing the knock on the door, all members of the Sun family fell silent and looked towards the door at the same time.

Sun Yu looked outside in confusion, but the window was covered with frost, and the thick white frost prevented her from seeing anything.

Sun Zhongguo frowned and said to himself:

"Who could it be at this time?"

"Hey, has Old Wu changed his mind and sent us some candles?"

Mother Sun asked expectantly.

Sun Zhongguo frowned and did not refute. He said to Sun's mother:
"You guys stay here, I'll go out and take a look."

Sun Zhongguo walked out of the room, came to the courtyard and shouted to the outside of the gate:
"Who!"

Then I heard a strange female voice coming from outside the door:
"Excuse me, is there anyone in the house? My brother and I are lost, so we want to stay here for one night. Is it convenient?"

“…Stay overnight?” Sun Zhongguo was stunned by the words of the person outside the door.

He reached his right hand into his coat pocket, took out his treasured old mechanical pocket watch and checked the time.

It's past six o'clock in the evening. It's normal to ask for a place to stay at this time, but it's very abnormal that there are strangers outside at this time!

Thinking about the strange things he had heard recently, Sun Zhongguo suddenly became suspicious. He did not open the door, but shouted to the people outside:
"There's no room in our house, go find someone else!"

There was silence outside the door for two seconds, and then a child's voice sounded again:

"Uncle, please be kind. My sister and I have been lost in the mountains for a long time. Let's go in and warm ourselves by the fire."

"..."

Hearing this voice, Sun Zhongguo's heart softened for some reason.

He forgot to be wary of the person outside the door and walked forward to open it.

Then he saw a girl and a boy, one big and one small, who wrapped themselves tightly like a big and a small penguin.

Because the two men covered themselves tightly, with towels, hats and goggles, Sun Zhongguo could not see their appearance, but judging from their voices, they should not be very old.

Thinking of his own daughter who was less than 20 years old, Sun Zhongguo suddenly felt compassion and sighed and said to the two of them:

"Forget it, come in."

The two people outside the door looked at each other, and the girl who spoke earlier repeatedly thanked Sun Zhongguo:
"Thank you! Thank you so much, you are such a good person!"

"... "

The child next to him didn't say anything, but Sun Zhongguo seemed to sense the speechlessness from him.

But he didn't think too much about it. He let the two in, then closed the door and locked it tightly, and took the two back to the warm house.

……

Following the old man in front of him into the house, Li Qiao whispered to Li Qi:
"Since you plan to hypnotize them, why did you call me out?"

"Hypnosis is not omnipotent. I can't develop the bad habit of hypnotizing people for everything... Besides, these people are not bad people."

Li Qi gave a serious explanation.

In fact, after using Ye Yue's method to blind himself, Li Qi became a little cowardly.

He was afraid that if he used hypnosis recklessly, he would run into something difficult to deal with.

If he really encountered a mental backlash that he himself could not react to, Li Qicai would really be in tears.

However, having said that, Li Qi did not completely seal his mental abilities. He could still do things like increasing the other party's favorability and making simple hints, like he is doing now.

"…Fine."

Li Qiao actually didn't quite trust Li Qi's explanation. She always felt that the reason was not just that, but as an older sister, she chose to save her brother's face and did not continue asking.

The two followed Sun Zhongguo back to the room and then briefly introduced themselves to gain the trust of the Sun family.

After everything was settled, Li Qi asked Li Qiao to help inquire about the ancient monuments.

"remains?"

Sun Zhongguo had a puzzled look on his face. He thought for a long time and finally shook his head and said, "We don't know if there are any special relics. This place probably didn't exist in ancient times, so how could there be ancient relics?"

"Before the Eternal Night arrived, did you ever meet anyone from the government?"

Li Qiao asked again.

Bureau 057 once established a military base nearby. Even though they did not use the name of the military when they established it, they definitely used an official name.

If Sun Zhongguo and his family had stayed here all the time, they would not have ignored the fact that the government was building large-scale projects at the foot of the mountain.

Sure enough, just as Li Qi guessed, after hearing Li Qiao's question, Sun Zhongguo thought about it for a while, and then he suddenly remembered something and said:

"Oh, I do remember this. It seemed like a few years ago, the government wanted to build a factory at the foot of the mountain... They didn't say what kind of factory it was, but the kid from the Zhang family next door said that there seemed to be troops there... Is this what you're asking about?"

"Yes, that's it!" Li Qiao nodded repeatedly and asked, "Uncle Sun, do you still remember the location of that factory? We walked around for a long time and didn't see the factory."

Li Qi had previously thought that he had gone to the wrong place, but after hearing what Sun Zhongguo said, he knew that the place was correct, but for some reason the official building could not be found.

He thought that Sun Zhongguo was a local and might know something.

However, to Li Qi's disappointment, Sun Zhongguo immediately shook his head and said:

"I don't remember. The factory disappeared soon after the sun disappeared."

Sun Zhongguo recalled.

In his memory, the factory was still there in the days when the sun just disappeared, but when he went to see it again after a while, the factory site had turned into a vast white snowfield.

They originally thought that the factory was buried under the snow.

But when they organized people to clear the snow near the factory and tried to find the factory, they only found a large empty space. Then they finally realized that the factory had indeed disappeared.

Just like that, it disappeared magically and strangely.
