Chapter 1159 Long Night Period

The announcement of the date of the long night period is a very important thing for Odorene's residents. The popularity of this matter even suppressed the heat of the physical agent announced by the Dodd Group earlier, especially when it learned that the long night period was more than twenty days long, this made all the people inside and outside Odorene feel inexplicably nervous.

Many people with conditions choose to leave Odorene City temporarily and live in other cities temporarily, and come back after the long night period has passed, but there are still many people who can only stay in the city, and even residents outside the city have temporarily entered the public shelter in the city for temporary residence, waiting for the long night period to pass.

During the days when the long nights occurred, riots occurred in the primeval forests and mountains of mutant monsters hidden in the mountains. Attacking Odorene City is just one of the reasons why the residents of Odorene are worried and afraid. What really makes the residents of Odorene City feel fear is that various strange events that occur together with the long nights. The power that causes these strange events to occur is unstoppable by the city walls. These forces are hidden in the darkness and will suddenly appear when necessary to drag the victim into a situation where death is even more painful than death.

The only force that can fight against this strange event is various extraordinary forces and the stinky camphor fuel produced by the fermentation of stinky camphor wood. Therefore, after the time and duration of the long night period were announced, all Odorene residents who planned to stay in the city flocked to the fuel workshop that they would not normally go to, and purchased a large amount of stinky camphor fuel and stocked it up at home, so as not to use the stinky camphor fuel before the long night period was over.

The stinky camphor tree is the most common and largest wood in the Viron continent. This wood will produce a stinky camphor fruit. The shaman church collects this stinky camphor fruit into a deworming liquid and a hallucinogen that is needed for psychic rituals. Apart from this, stinky camphor has no more use.

The wood of the camphor tree itself is not the kind that is particularly resistant to burning, and it will emit a foul smell when burned. Long-term inhalation of this foul smell will cause people to feel odor, and in more serious cases, it will affect their vision. Therefore, the camphor tree has been regarded as the most unpopular wood by people in the Mosang continent for a long time.

Whether it was the earlier colonists or later Mosanian governments, they wanted to cut off this tree and plant other more valuable trees.

However, the survival ability of the camphor tree is too strong. As long as a seed takes root in a certain place, a camphor tree shrub will grow in just a few months. In another year, it will become a camphor tree forest. Therefore, it is almost impossible for the camphor tree to be completely extinct. Governments of various countries can only see one tree cleaned up in a limited area to prevent it from growing.

However, with the development of industrial civilization, the demand for fuel in various factories is increasing day by day, and the existing combustible tree species in Mosang's continent has begun to appear in short supply. Although countries can aim the direction of mining at the wasteland, if they do so, it will inevitably lead to various religious, political, and military issues, and eventually wars that will affect the entire continent will break out. This is something that no one wants to see.

So, countries began to focus on the camphor trees that can be seen everywhere in the Mossan continent, and jointly mobilized manpower and material resources to solve the problem of the use of camphor trees. Finally, a scholar discovered a fermentation method similar to brewing to ferment the wood. It does not take too long, and only needs three to five days to ferment it can completely solve the odor generated by the burning of the camphor trees. Moreover, the fermented wood fuel can also produce sufficient firepower. Although it is much worse than those combustible woods, it is enough for supplementary fuel. It was not until then that the camphor trees were able to use it.

Subsequently, the shamanism discovered that the combustible materials supported by the camphor tree after not completely removing the odor can alleviate some negative forces generated during the long night period to a certain extent. These negative forces not only contain the forces that make people violent and irritable, but also contain some unknown forces that lead to strange events.

Therefore, every time a long night occurs, people who have the conditions will buy some stinky camphor fuel, and big cities like Odorene will also replace the street lights on the main roads with burning this stinky camphor fuel.

After the news that Odorene and other regions in the southern part of the Mosan continent would fall into a long night, people and affairs from other places had to be re-arranged due to this accident. Toran, who was originally planning to take the airship Long Wing, had to temporarily give up the plan. Other commercial transactions with southern long night countries and regions were stopped unless it was a particularly urgent transaction. Everyone knew very well that it was already a very dangerous thing for the world to walk in the wild, while the wild that covered the long night was more ten times more dangerous.

Time passed quickly, a few days later, the long night came as scheduled. The previous moment was the sunny weather, and the next moment it was instantly sunny, and the next moment it fell into darkness. The sky was replaced by darkness, and there was no sign of stars and moon.

After a brief panic, those walking on the street turned on the small waist lamp hanging around their waists, lit the stinky camphor fuel that had been prepared in the lamp, adjusted the flames, and after a little adapted to the slight odor emitted from the top of the waist lamp, they walked on the street like normal people, heading to where they needed to go.

Although they are protected by waist lamps with stinky camphor fuel, they will not be affected by the special forces of long-term nights. However, according to past experience, they have been exposed to the darkness for a long time. Even if there is stinky camphor fuel, they will still be eroded by unknown forces of darkness. Therefore, the pace of pedestrians on the road has significantly accelerated a lot. They must handle the things they have at their hands as soon as possible, and then return to the company or home to stay with others, trying to avoid being alone.

At the same time, the lighting team of the Odorene City Government also started to ignite the street lights on the road with three people as a group to burn stinky camphor fuel. Compared with the waist lights used by individuals, the street lights on the street were filled with sufficient fuel and did not adjust the flames. The light generated after the combustion could illuminate the boundaries around the street lights as much as possible. Pedestrians on the road began to consciously walk according to the route arranged by the street lights to avoid falling into the darkness that the street lights could not be illuminated.

Because the odor after the burning of stinky camphor can suppress human emotions and not be affected by the forces in the dark, even after some treatment, the odor in the stinky camphor fuel has been greatly weakened. However, when all the street lights using stinky camphor fuel are lit, the entire city of Odorene was immediately found by an inexplicable stinky smell.

In the ruined construction site of the Dod Group's factory area, temporary camphor braziers were also lit, illuminating the entire construction site. The workers on the construction site were not affected much and were still focusing on their own affairs. Most of these workers were from locals. They knew that when so many people gathered, camphor fuel was fired around them. Everyone also had potions to solve emotional abnormalities, so the danger they would encounter was much smaller.

However, because the burning brazier is the kind that there is no fire cover and is open, and the factory area is surrounded by Sylvia and the First Witch Group has arranged some ban forces, which has to a certain extent hindered the air circulation, which has made the air in the ruins of the factory much smelly than the outside world.

The locals have become accustomed to this odor and even have a certain resistance to this odor, but it is obviously a bit uncomfortable for Sylvia and the others. For this reason, they have to use some methods to filter the air in the factory tent, which is a little better.

However, people like Emily who need to inspect the factory frequently have to endure the stench after leaving the camp. This time she couldn't help complaining: "We should have left before the long night."

"Who is responsible for the construction site we left here?" Sylvia asked back, and without waiting for Emily to respond, she asked again: "Where has the reconstruction progress of the smelting furnace?"

"The inscribed group has started to inscribe Turing roots on the inner layer. It will take about two days to complete, and the outer layer components have been almost made. It should be assembled after the inner layer of Turing roots is inscribed. If the foundation transformation project of the entire smelting furnace goes well, it will be completed before the end of the long night period." Emily replied seriously.

Sylvia nodded with satisfaction and said, "Very good, even if those guys find an abnormality, they will not be able to stop it."

At this time, a sudden sound came from outside the camp, and then he saw Su hurriedly walking in from outside and saying to Sylvia: "Something happened."

Seeing Su's serious expression, Sylvia didn't ask much, but immediately stood up and led the people out, asking Su to briefly explain the situation on the road.

It turned out that there was a sad cry in the collapsed factory waiting to be re-reinforced. After hearing this, workers nearby came in to check. These people were all workers sent from other places and had never experienced such a long night. The local workers knew that it might have happened. They all gathered around the brazier and shone in the light, and did not get inside.

Su was responsible for the safety of the factory, so he naturally rushed over as soon as possible and quickly counted the number of people. He found that seven fewer workers were responsible for the reconstruction project of the factory. These seven people were all outsiders without exception, and four of them were people who entered the factory when they heard the sound. It was not clear to others when the other three disappeared.

Soon, Sylvia brought people to the factory where something happened. The workers who had gathered here had already taken them to the camp at Su's instructions, leaving only a team of guards from the factory. These guards seemed very nervous. After seeing Sylvia and others coming, they breathed a little relieved and immediately reported on the situation just now.

Just now, just as Su rushed back to inform Sylvia, screams came from the factory again, but this time no one came over there, and the screams stopped after more than a dozen.

This factory waiting to be rebuilt is not on the edge of the factory area, but is in the center of the factory area, close to the core smelting furnace. The work he is responsible for is to secondary annealing the steel from the smelting furnace, then roll it into various different specifications of steel, and then transport it to other factories for subsequent processing.

There are five factories like this in the entire factory area, all next to the smelting furnace. When the accident happened not long ago, these factories were also one of the most severely damaged factories. Almost all the ground parts of the factory collapsed, leaving only some load-bearing columns and foundation parts relatively well preserved. In the subsequent reconstruction work, the foundations and load-bearing columns of these factories will be re-reinforced, and the factory buildings will be built for different purposes, and will no longer be just secondary processing.

Although it is located near the general tent of the entire reconstruction site, it may be like dark under the lights. This place has become a place that everyone ignores. There are only four braziers around the entire factory. The light of these braziers can only blur the roads, because of the barrier of surrounding trees, it cannot illuminate the interior of the factory.

"Hasn't they warned them not to go to places without light?" Seeing the situation in the factory, Sylvia couldn't help frowning and turned to question the manager in charge of this area.

"You know, people from outside who have not experienced long nights will not really understand how dangerous it is." Without waiting for the manager to respond, Su explained for the other party and said: "The majority of people who have long nights have accidents every year."

Sylvia no longer blamed the manager for not being optimistic about his workers. She looked at the dark factory and was silent for a moment, saying, "Su and Emily go in, and the others are waiting outside."

The witches from other first witch groups around said with some concern: "Sir Baron, we are too..."

"You don't have to follow. If something happens, with your strength, being by my side will drag me down." Sylvia interrupted them without hesitation and said her thoughts bluntly.

Afterwards, without looking at the ugly faces of her subordinates, she led Su and Emily towards the factory, and soon entered the ruins of the factory from a cleared road.

The moment she entered the factory, Sylvia turned on the energy detection module in the universal recorder on her wrist, and soon an energy wavelength diagram appeared on her retina, allowing her to intuitively see the details of any abnormal energy fluctuations in the factory.

This universal recorder is the universal recorder that Leo gave to Sylvia. It is more complete than the universal recorder used by Leo. Moreover, this universal recorder of the universe is not a simple civil version, but is a version of the explorer used by some planetary expeditions, and it also has many functional modules.

Leo has never used this type of universal recorder, and can only unlock some universal modules, and the energy detection module is one of them.
