I got an S-level talent in the apocalypse, and I will lead Blue Star to rise

Chapter 199 Shadow
It's raining, people can hold an umbrella.

When the weather gets cold, people can wear more clothes.

When the weather is hot, people can use ice to cool down.

When the sun disappears, people can rely on lamps and torches to see the light, but the psychological pressure cannot be relieved.

"So what should we do now?" someone asked.

What can they do about this situation?

"As for food, I don't think I need to worry. There's a cafeteria, so even if I only have one meal a day, I won't starve to death."

"I agree. The only way we can help is to provide some lighting tools, such as torches."

Others have come forward to say, "This is just a worst-case scenario, and there's no need to be too stressed."

Everyone contributed their ideas and started to work together to find a solution.

What the old man was most worried about was not the disappearance of the sun, but his premonition that there might be a greater crisis in the dark night.

This time it is a seamless transition to the extreme heat disaster, which clearly aims to put more pressure on players.

He couldn't fall down, let alone show negative emotions.

"Observe for another day."

They cannot jump to conclusions and need more evidence to support their conclusions.

Every natural disaster follows a pattern, just like a snowstorm, which starts with a drop in temperature, snow, and then the roads are closed.

The extreme heat disaster is a gradual rise in temperature, causing wildfires and monster riots, forcing players to go out and kill monsters.

Today the sun had problems, and many players guessed that this was a new challenge.

Ning Jun also thought of this and couldn't help asking Xiao Qichen, "Is this natural disaster an eternal night? Will the sun disappear for a long time?"

In fact, the order of the two natural disasters was the same as Xiao Qichen remembered.

Logically speaking, the third natural disaster was acid rain, not eternal night.

Although the first three natural disasters were fierce, they also gave players a few days of rest and would not be a seamless transition.

But this time, his memory was changed again.

"Perhaps it's because of the faction relationship that the game progresses faster."

Ning Jun was worried because he didn't know whether this was a good thing or a bad thing.

She was not afraid of natural disasters, after all, she had enough supplies.

But what about others?
In a state of eternal night, the temperature will definitely drop significantly and it will be difficult for new plants to grow.

Being hungry and cold is a huge test for the players both physically and mentally.

"No, I have to get some more torches or lamps."

Locking someone in a small dark room with no light and no sound can cause a person to have a mental breakdown in just a few days. This is a form of torture.

Ning Jun didn't want to fall into that situation himself.

Her only consolation was that her house was level 5 and she could turn on the lights.

But who can guarantee that this house will not be affected by the eternal night?

Ning Jun wanted to prepare supplies in advance, and Xiao Qichen also gave her a suggestion.

"Stock up on torches, the more the better."

"In the Eternal Night Scourge, there's a special kind of monster called a Shadow. They have no form and cannot be killed. They will attack the player mentally. The only way to control them is with a torch."

"As long as there is a burning torch within a 3-meter radius of the player, shadows cannot break through the light."

In the previous life, countless tragedies occurred on the first day of the Eternal Night Calamity, but it was not until the third day that people discovered the weakness of the [Shadow].

The price of torches soared rapidly, and the blueprints were also sold at sky-high prices.

If there are no torches, even if the player keeps the lights on in the house, the shadows can still come and go freely. It is precisely because of this feature that many advanced players have suffered great losses.

After all, players who are slightly wealthier will not use torches for lighting.

In the eternal night state, the torches that could originally burn for 8 hours are shortened to 4 hours.

If there are too many shadows around, the burning time of the torch will be shortened.

Ning Jun felt a headache when he heard this. "I don't have many torches, and I don't have any blueprints."

She quickly went to the trading market to search. Fortunately, there were quite a few torch blueprints. Because of its low quality, it could be opened from ordinary boxes.

The price of torches was not high, so she bought 500 at once. She was not worried about not being able to use them all, but she was worried that she would not be able to buy them when she wanted to use them.

She had also calculated that if she was unlucky, the torches would only burn for 2 hours, so she would need at least 12 per day.

Based on a 10-day timeframe, 120 units are needed.

This is just the amount she needs.

Including Xuexue and Xiaobai, they have become larger and need at least 3 torches at a time, which means 360 torches are needed.

This does not include the grizzly bear mother and cub. Ning Jun is also hesitating whether to continue to take them in.

To be fair, grizzly bears are very powerful and have good personalities.

If the little bears grow up and guard the house, Ning Yun won’t have to worry about the house anymore.

But if we count them, we'll need even more torches.

If we really want to be absolutely sure, we will need at least 1000 torches for this Eternal Night Scourge.

She simply made up her mind and bought another 500.

Regardless, you still need to prepare more.

Xiao Qichen was also buying things in the trading market. He had a small population, so he only needed to stock up 300.

Even though the two men bought torches in large quantities, no one noticed.

Because torches are very basic lighting tools, they are easy to find when opening boxes, and most people have some.

In addition, when these two people purchased them, they did not buy 50 at a time, but one player bought 8 and the other player bought 5, and they put the total together.

This was what Xiao Qichen said specifically, and Ning Jun immediately understood his intention.

Torches are essential supplies for dealing with the eternal night. Such important news must be told to the Chinese camp first.

They can stock up on torches before the price goes up, but they cannot leak the news.

Looking at the row of torches in his backpack, Ning Jun felt at ease.

"Next, we should tell the camp this news."

According to Xiao Qichen's memory, after the sun sets today, the [Shadow] will appear, quietly sneak into the player's dream, and cause the player to die in fear.

[Shadow] is a nightmare and will also affect the player's emotions, making them increasingly irritable and killing each other.

This is the horror of the Eternal Night Scourge. Players can be caught without knowing it, and even their family members may be harmed.

"What a sinister setting," Ning Jun thought. If she hadn't known the news in advance, she would probably have fallen into the trap.

Who could have imagined that there would be such a terrifying monster hiding in the dark.

She contacted Yu Lixing and told him what she knew.

I thought the other party would carefully inquire about the source of the information.

Fortunately, this did not happen.

Just as she and Xiao Qichen had a tacit understanding, Yu Lixing asked her about the source of her information.

This time was the same. After learning about the horror of the Eternal Night Disaster, he immediately reported it to the old man.

They don't have much time left and must resolve the issue during the day.
