    The fusion reactor hanging at an altitude of three thousand kilometers started working at a completely abnormal speed. The strong magnetic coil used to fix the reactor core changed from dark red to bright yellow in a few seconds, and was then illuminated by the white light of the reactor core.  The ball was swallowed up, and white light dozens of times brighter than the real sun instantly filled the sky, casting a vast expanse of white beneath his eyes.

    Lin Xue's reminder was shouted out a few seconds before the reactor exploded, which gave everyone time to react. Although no one knew why, many people subconsciously chose to follow the instructions when someone shouted like this in an unexpected situation -  - Just like if you suddenly yell and lie down at a train station, someone will definitely lie down. Although you will soon be pushed to the ground by the police, the effect of "breaking information appeal" is real.  Lin Xue's shout made many people close their eyes at the moment the reactor exploded.

    not including me¡­¡­

    "Really, we are slow to react. If this girl had been properly vaccinated a few minutes in advance, maybe I would have reacted."

    There is still a vast expanse of white in my field of vision, and not far away some people are shouting in horror: "Eyes! My eyes!" "I can't see anything!"

    Sandora snorted coldly, and a little mental oppression covered the square, causing the townspeople who were almost in chaos due to the panic and commotion of more than a dozen people to tremble and become silent. Then she said coldly: "Quiet.  , only temporarily blinding.¡±

    After the mental oppression was removed, the people around me were obviously much calmer, but I could still hear uneasy whispers. I blinked, and some figures blurred in my vision - even though I had experienced a lot of physical enhancements.  , but it seems that "flash blindness" is a normal function of the eyes, and I was also affected by it like ordinary people.

    Fortunately, I now have various ways of observing the world. Meticulous mental scanning is much easier to use than my eyes, so for the time being I don't pay much attention to the paleness in my field of vision. I just touched Lin Xue's elbow.  He muttered in a low voice: "Why didn't you remind me earlier?"

    "Why are you so slow to react, Mumu?" The eldest lady smiled mischievously and waved her hand in front of my eyes, but I knocked it away: "Don't make trouble, do you think you are the only one who can see without your eyes?"

    Just like Sandora said, the burst of white light just now was not enough to burn people's eyes. Even if it blinded people, it was quite short-lived. After a few minutes, the townspeople who were hit by the extra-large flash bombs recovered one after another.  , I recovered a little earlier than them, and my sight with the naked eye was completely fine.

    If the night before the flash was just dark, and there was still a coil of red light providing illumination, the sky now is really invisible. The dark red halo that originally hung in the sky has been wiped out by the explosion.  Without any light source, the sky above is like a pure black curtain, vast and empty. The only light is the small bright spot that occasionally streaks across the sky. Those are the remains of the fusion reactor burning across the space, but this last  The flash only lasted less than ten minutes, and in the end, there was nothing.

    There was a deathly silence in the square. The townspeople looked around at a loss. Under the pale streetlights were faces of panic. What was happening now was something they had never experienced before, and they had never dared to imagine.  , the fusion furnace hanging overhead will go out, or even be blown into pieces. The impact on them may be no less than that of people on earth seeing the sun turn green with their own eyes. No one knows what reaction they should make in this situation.  , so all that was left was to look around in panic. After seeing the same uneasiness in others, I became even more frightened, but I also found a little sense of security in the collective.

    After a while, I don¡¯t know who started it, but muffled voices came from the crowd. They might have been talking to themselves at first, but they soon became a widespread conversation:

    "What Glick said, he has been talking about the reactor going out"

    "Him? He's just a little crazy, right? He also said that those ancient machines would also stop spinning."

    "But the fusion reactor is really finished now. Although they were not created by gods, they are still leftover from the age of gods."

    "Don't talk nonsense, there will definitely be a new reactor launched into the sky. The church has many ancient machines. They can use that to recreate a fusion reactor"

    "I don't think it's reliable Remember when we were young, the public lights-off time was three hours after dinner (the timing unit of the ruined world). Now it is two and a half hours. The lights-off time for public lighting has been advanced. The large energy furnace  There must be insufficient power over there. Glick said that all energy furnaces have been used for at least 700,000 years"

    "Don't talk nonsense, Glick is just a fantasy."Eighty percent of the population is in severe decline, and now is the period of concentrated shutdown of all systems. It could take hundreds of years or a few months. The various ancient factories that ensure the minimum life support in this world will completely stop.  Mortals in this world can no longer find the parts to repair those ancient machines.  These are its original words.  "

    "I really don't know if this is luck or something," Sister-sama shook her head with a subtle wry smile, "As soon as we came to this world, the maintenance system of this space was about to shut down completely. It has survived for hundreds of thousands of years.  Did something happen when we were rushed here?"

    "If we hadn't appeared, the world would have collapsed silently," Sandora said. "From this point of view, this world is very lucky."

    Glick couldn't hear these conversations that took place on the spiritual level, and it only took less than a second for us to talk about these things in the spiritual connection, so he didn't even realize that several people in front of him were discussing the world in which he grew up.  A matter of life and death, he is currently busy sharing a small bag of puffed food with his sister. In front of snacks, he is just an ordinary child.

    At this moment, there was a sudden commotion from the direction of the square, which caught our attention.

    When I led Qianqian and the others to the square, there were already more than a dozen people gathered here, and the protagonist of the commotion was standing in the middle. One of them was an acquaintance: a fat and honest old man, Barnard.

    "Dacheng will take care of everything. The only thing we can do now is to go back and wait." Barnard cast his gaze on the person in front of him, his eyebrows knitted into a knot, "Tieke, I know you are very brave, but this  It's useless to be brave at that time, the nearest big town is more than ten kilometers away, and the road also passes through a valley that is not completely opened. There are no lights, no supply stations, and we have no transportation!"

    Old Man Barnard was talking to a bald man as strong as an iron tower. Although he was two heads lower than the latter, his tone of speech was really stern. The bald man called Tieke lowered his head slightly and did not dare to speak loudly.  He retorted, but still insisted on his opinion: "Are we just waiting here? If the fusion reactor cannot be repaired in a month, we will have to spend a month in the dark! Before that, the town and the roads outside will be even more blocked than they are now.  It¡¯s serious. It will be too late to ask for help by then. The big city won¡¯t notice such a small settlement like ours. If you want to find rescue, you can only take the initiative to go out and ask for help"

    We were listening, and at this time we roughly understood what was going on. The big man named Tieke in front of us was obviously a radical in the town. He felt that the fusion furnace had exploded, and I am afraid that this place will be shrouded in darkness for a long time.  During the long night, before that, it was the wisest thing to get in touch with a nearby large town with a formal settlement establishment. However, the old mayor Barnard did it from the perspective of safety, and his reason was also very good: the small town simply had no  There is no means of transportation that can be used for long distances, and the traffic roads in the town and outside are not safe at all, especially in the current dark conditions. There is no light or energy replenishment on that road, so we are just walking in the dark night.  Traveling more than ten kilometers to seek help is no different than committing suicide.  (To be continued.
