My Endless Life.

Chapter 443 Loop
Looking at the fire in the stove, Sun Yu sighed.

She had just finished breakfast and heard her father say that Old Wu's family had no candles. But she knew in her heart that it was not that Old Wu's family did not have candles, they just did not want to give them any.

Sun Yu expressed his understanding of this. From the arrival of the eternal night until now, the sun has shown no sign of rising, and now they have lost electricity and contact with the government.

Now that no one knows how long the eternal night will last, anything that can serve as a source of light is extremely precious.

Although Old Wu's family sells candles, they also understand the preciousness of candles in today's era. How could they lend them to others unconditionally?
Sun Yu knew this clearly, and her mother knew this too.

During the meal, Sun Yu could see his mother hesitated to speak several times, but she was just too embarrassed to scold him out loud because her cousins ​​who came as guests and were trapped here were also here.

Picking up the coal next to him, Sun Yu threw two more pieces into the furnace, and at the same time couldn't help but sigh:
"Alas, these days, when will they end?"

"…Cousin, can you tell me what's going on at the Wu family next door?"

Just as Sun Yugang finished sighing, a pleasant child's voice sounded in her ears, which startled her.

When I turned around, I saw my cute little cousin who looked like a porcelain doll standing next to me, looking at me with sparkling eyes.

After looking intently for a while, Sun Yu realized that the kindness in his cousin's eyes was because the flames in the furnace were reflected in his eyes, not because his eyes could really emit light.

After being stunned for a while, Sun Yu remembered the question her cousin had asked. Hearing her cousin's adult-like tone, she couldn't help but raised her hand and pinched his smooth little face, smiling and saying:
"What do you mean Old Wu? You should call him Grandpa Wu."

"Oh...what's going on at Grandpa Wu's house?"

The little adult was not angry at Sun Yu's pinching of his face. He tilted his head and asked in a mature tone, but the childish tone in his voice always made people laugh.

Sun Yu's depressed mood was relieved by her cousin's voice. She tilted her head and recalled, and replied:

"Grandpa Wu's family sells funeral products, so they have a lot of candles at home. When there was a power outage before, people in our village borrowed candles from him."

"So candles are for the dead? Isn't it unlucky to use this kind of wax?"

"At this time, we just need to survive, not worry about whether it's auspicious or not... Besides, we can't even use this 'unlucky' wax now."

Sun Yu sighed.

If electricity was still there, if the world was still normal, who would go to a funeral home to buy the red and white wax that is burned for the dead?

After all, it's because I'm almost unable to survive, so I accept everything and use everything.

Hearing Sun Yu say this, Li Qi nodded in agreement.

This is because the Dream Town is not bound by the rules of the real world and has complete functions. Li Qi also brought in several large diesel generators so there is no need to worry about running out of electricity.

Otherwise, Li Qi would probably also have to worry about the light source problem.

No... There seems to be candles in Dream Town that can be refreshed infinitely...

Li Qi almost forgot about the candles in the Dream Town because he hadn't used them for a long time. However, things in the Dream Town could not be taken out, so it would be useless even if he thought of them now.

It would be better to go back and modify Sun Yu’s oil lamp to increase its endurance.

Li Qi was chatting with Sun Yu. Outside the door, Li Qiao came back with Sun Zhongguo. As soon as she came back, Li Qi turned his eyes in her direction.

Li Qi's eyes are blind, but his mental power is connected with Li Qiao.

The moment the two of them connected spiritually, they tacitly decided to go back to the room to chat.

"Is the investigation clear?"

As soon as he entered the room, Li Qi asked Li Qiao.

"Ah."

Li Qiao nodded slightly and whispered to Li Qi:
"I checked. There are seven families in this village now, with a total of 25 people... The rest either took refuge in the underground city or froze to death outside."

"So what's their attitude toward you?"

"They really seem to think of me as Uncle Sun's distant niece."

Li Qiao frowned and said, then said to Li Qi: "This place seems a bit weird, is there any problem?"

Li Qi knew what Li Qiao was worried about, and he explained: "It is certain that this has nothing to do with pollution. It should be some strange things, or... a special phenomenon similar to the rainforest."

This village looks ordinary, just a small village struggling to survive in the doomsday.

For various reasons, the people here were unable to seek refuge in the underground city, but instead chose to stay in the village, deciding to live and die with the village.

There are probably many such villages in China. After all, the situation is urgent, and even the government does not have enough time to rescue all the villages around the towns.

And after experiencing the underground city incident, Li Qi felt that their decision actually saved their lives.

At least the underground city is now full of pollution, and the residents in the city have suffered heavy casualties. Those of them outside the underground city only need to consider how to maintain the room temperature and light source.

That's how it should be.

But judging from the Sun family’s attitude towards the Li siblings today, this village is clearly not normal.

Thinking of this, Li Qi thought of the mysterious shadow that led him here.

It was obvious that the phantom led Li Qi here for a purpose, but no one knew what her purpose was.

"So what do you say now? Do you want to continue living here?"

Li Qiao saw Li Qi in deep thought and waited for a while before asking him.

The village was a bit strange. According to Li Qiao's idea, if you encounter such a strange place, you must get away as soon as possible. I don't know what Li Qi thinks. "Stay for two more days." Li Qi made a decision: "The ancient ruins are nearby. Let's look for them for two more days. If we can't find any trace of the ancient ruins, we will leave here."

"Okay, it's up to you."

Li Qiao put Li Qi first in everything. After listening to Li Qi's words, she didn't say anything else. Instead, she looked into Li Qi's eyes and changed the subject, asking, "How is your eye recovery?"

"It takes a day to recover, but at least I can see the light, which is a good thing."

Li Qi explained casually.

Because of casually looking at the witch god statue, Li Qi suffered temporary blindness, which made him regain his fear of the unknown.

But this awe only lasted for one day.

After all, Li Qi's eyesight recovered a little after just one day, which made Li Qi feel relieved, and he was no longer so wary of the rules of nature in this world.

Of course, that's what he said. Compared to before when he was fearless and wanted to take a look at everything out of curiosity, Li Qi is now much more restrained.

At least he wouldn't be so brave as to watch questionable stuff without doing any research.

His eyes were still recovering, and Li Qi estimated that it would take about five days for his 'deprived' vision to gradually recover.

Before that, he could just stay here and rest.

At least here you don't have to worry about pollution.

Li Qi thought so until early the next morning when Sun Zhongguo pushed the door open again.

"I went to Old Wu's house and they said they had run out of wax too."

This was the first sentence Li Qi heard from Sun Zhongguo after returning from Dream Town.

He listened to words that were almost identical to those heard yesterday, and then looked at the Sun family's reactions that were exactly the same as yesterday, and suddenly he had an uncertain guess in his mind.

"…cycle?"

"Hmm?" Sun Zhongguo seemed to have heard Li Qi's mumbling, but he didn't ask anything. Instead, he smiled at Li Qi like he did 'yesterday':

"Are you awake, Xiao An? If you are awake, go and have dinner. Your cousin and aunt should have prepared the meal."

"..."

Li Qi didn't say anything. He used his mental power to look at Sun Zhongguo for a long time before turning around and going to the dining table with Li Qiao to eat.

The food on the table was the same as yesterday, even the placement of the food had not changed.

Coupled with the Sun family's performance and reactions, which were the same as yesterday, it added a bit of weirdness to this small room.

Everyone finished the meal in silence.

The Sun family was still thinking about the candles, while Li Qi and Li Qiao were thinking about this strange cycle.

After breakfast, seeing that Li Qiao had something to say, Li Qi immediately set up a soundproof barrier and looked at her.

Li Qiao immediately asked:

"What's going on? Are we in some kind of loop?"

After Li Qiao was brought into this world by Li Qi, she did not do nothing.

At least she had watched a lot of movies and TV series, so she could understand the concept of "loop" and talk about it easily.

Li Qi turned his head and looked at the Sun family members who were warming themselves by the fire. In the spiritual world, the body structure and temperature of the three of them were very normal, including their mental strength, which was at the level of ordinary people. It didn't seem like they would create a cycle.

That's why Li Qi felt strange about the cycle happening at this time.

"It seems so, but why aren't we affected?"

Li Qi answered after a long time, then turned around and asked another question.

But Li Qiao couldn't answer Li Qi's question. She frowned and the thought of leaving took over again:
"This place is too weird, why don't we go back?"

The stranger the place, the more dangerous it is.

Compared to the rainforest that Li Qiao and Sun Xiaoqing had entered before, Li Qiao felt that this village was even more dangerous!

After all, the dangers in the rainforest can be seen and felt intuitively, but the dangers in this village are invisible and intangible.

Who knows if they will become part of a cycle if this continues?

"Just wait and see."

After a long while, Li Qi said to Li Qiao: "At present, there seems to be no other danger here. Wait for two more days. If something really happens, I will go back to the town for refuge without you saying anything."

The stranger the place, the more curious Li Qi would be.

It just so happened that this village was near an ancient monument, and Li Qi's intuition told him that the special situation here might also be related to the ancient monument.

In order to find the ancient relics here, Li Qi couldn't just leave like that.

Wait at least two more days, it won’t be too late to run away when you are in real danger.
