In order to prevent the monster from sitting up in shock while dying of illness, Suo Jian also performed a last-ditch attack to ensure that the monster could not die again, and then allowed others to gather around.
After the monster was now lying flat on the ground, under the look of Luokas/Ge Zhao, a person who seemed not to be here walked out of the team.
He is Yang Wenshou. He is not a senior member of the escape team. He is just an ordinary oil press. He should not be here.
But Yang Wenshou still appeared here. He slowly approached the monster with a slight trembling, took out the tools that the city-state temporarily made for him, suppressed his nausea, squatted down and started working on the monster's corpse.
In fact, it is not only his old profession in this world, but from a certain perspective, it is also his old profession during his lifetime. After all, they are all about oil extraction.
Although Yang Wenshou personally prefers to sleep in the house at this time, Luokas/Ge Zhao have spoken, so what can he do?
Since I have to come to perform this task, I can only comfort myself in my heart, saying that this is not much different from my previous job.
In the past, it was used to extract oil from pigs and sheep, but it is still the same now. Although this thing looks a little weird, it can still be regarded as some kind of creature.
Although Yang Wenshou's hands were shaking when he was pressing the oil, he did not abandon his old skills after all. After a while, the clay pot was filled with oil.
When Luokas/Ge Zhao saw the grease in the clay pot, his expression became much more relaxed. It seemed that tonight's mission was successfully completed and he would not return in vain.
The reason why they ventured out of the city at night was to obtain grease as fuel, because the reserves of grease in the city were running low and they had to find a new source.
The importance of fuel in the Eternal Night Era is self-evident, but no matter how much fuel they store in advance, they cannot withstand the burning day and night now.
The only stable resources in this era are the monsters born in the darkness, and tonight's experiment proved that this idea is feasible. Monsters in the darkness can extract oil, so the city-state does not have to worry too much about fuel.
This kind of thing should be kept hidden from the public as much as possible, otherwise they might become desperate if they find out that the oil they are using now comes from monsters.
Therefore, when they returned to the city-state, the atmosphere in the team was quite relaxed, and everyone had a happy look on their faces. Even Locas/Ge Zhao, who was usually unsmiling, was still in the mood to joke with everyone:
"Fortunately, the monster that was lured this time is suitable for juicing. Do you remember the one that attacked the city yesterday? It was almost just bones. If this is what comes out this time, we will have to work again."
However, the happy atmosphere in the team at this time is, after all, just a short-lived happiness in the doomsday era, a flash of light that lasts for a moment in the darkness.
After all, the overall tone that permeates this era is always one of despair and depression. They are always just a group of poor people struggling to survive in the apocalypse.
The caution of Luokas/Ge Zhao and others successfully concealed the matter of fuel. Not many residents of Hope City discovered that the fuel that was once tight has suddenly become loose and abundant recently.
For these ordinary people, their attention is completely attracted to the sky. The roaring thunder is like a reminder. Every time a thunder sounds, the brightness of the sun becomes a little weaker.
But fortunately, for now, the sun has not completely disappeared after all, so the bowstring is only tightened, but not completely broken.
Of course, anyone with a little bit of discernment knows that as the strings in people's hearts get tighter and tighter, it is only a matter of time before the day comes when they are completely broken.
"So we have to take advantage of this period of time, and hope that the value is not too dangerous, and accumulate as much supplies as possible through forced labor."
"Although forced labor will lower the hope value, it is better to lower the hope value now than to lower the hope value later when eternal night falls."
"After all, for the most difficult gear like mine, no matter how well you operate before, there will definitely be a wave of self-hanging southeast branches after the eternal night falls."
"So since we have to hang ourselves on the southeastern branch anyway, we have to increase the city-state's material reserves as much as possible before the population drops sharply."
At this moment, Ge Zhaodu has a capitalist style of making the best use of everything, and he must use various methods to maximize the use of this group of people.
With the occurrence of the lightning-shock phenomenon, the worship of the Sun God was revived in the City of Hope. Lokas/Ge Zhao's propaganda claimed that this was just a temporary weakness of the great god, and that he would one day return like lightning.
On that day the sun will appear again, the world will return to the way it was before, and all their persistence will bear fruit.
Although few people from Ge Zhao to Suo Jian believed these words, what would they do if they didn't say so at this time? People always have to have some dreams.
After all, in this desperate age, the only thing that can anesthetize people's hearts is spiritual comfort, which is the former worship of the sun god.
This is also related to the actual situation. Previously, the refugees were in constant flight and panic, so they did not have much time and experience to think about the terrible future after the disappearance of the Sun God.
In addition, the situation was not too serious at that time. The sun was just a little weak. Maybe it would recover that day? But now it is different. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that with the occurrence of lightning and shocking the sun, it is only a matter of time before the sun disappears.
And now that people are living stably in the city-state, all kinds of worries about the future have arisen, and then they find that this is such a desperate world.
And perhaps in the next ten years or even decades, they will have to survive in this kind of world for the rest of their lives, and despair will inevitably spread.
Therefore, what Ge Zhaodu predicted to the players before, the "self-hanging southeast branch tide" really began to spread in Hope City.
However, the people who hang themselves from the southeast branch at this stage are basically those who have lost everything and have nothing, not even their relatives, due to previous disasters.
If there are family members around, they will support each other and not commit suicide at this stage, but this is not good news.
Because unlike those who are helpless, once these people become desperate, they will not hang themselves on the southeast branch alone, but will hang on the southeast branch with their surrounding relatives.
Of course, this situation will not happen yet, because the worst thing has not happened yet. Although lightning has shocked the sun, can’t the sun still hang in the sky?
But it's all like a tightened string. It seems that everyone is waiting for the signal, waiting for the day when everything is destined to be irreversible.
