After thinking for a moment, Ren Zhong gradually smoothed out his thoughts.
Zheng Tian and other local "indigenous people" have lived in this environment for many years.
They obviously knew what was going to happen during the night before they fell asleep.
Even so, they could still sleep so soundly, which proved that this night attack was as common as eating and drinking.
In other words, even if those beasts that come out at night rush into the room and the person dies in his sleep, it should be as normal as the sun rising as usual.
Everyone else was sound asleep, so I couldn't show too much panic.
When he first arrived, he had to get along well with others.
So despite feeling uneasy in his heart, Ren Zhong did not go out to inquire about the situation in the end. He just sat on the bed, clenching his fists and pressing them on his thighs, maintaining a posture ready to get up and run away at any time. His vigilant eyes looked in from time to time.
Next to it is a large square window, and I occasionally look towards the door.
Once a beast really appears, Ren Zhong is not going to sit around and wait for death. Living is more important than hiding himself, so he has to run first out of respect.
Just two minutes later, the gunshots and explosions outside became more intensive.
The clanking sound of boots on the steel ladder also became much denser.
This is when more night watchmen came to support.
The battle outside seems to have reached a fever pitch.
Another thirty seconds passed, and the frequency of nearby gunshots and explosions gradually decreased.
It was probably humans who had the upper hand, and the heavy burden in my throat slowly let go.
At this moment, intensive gunshots rang out from a slightly farther direction on the other side of the door.
Someone shouted in the distance, it must be from the other side.
"First-class Ruin Beast Hardback Lizards appeared at the intersection on the left side of Cabin 13! Four of them! Requesting support! Requesting support! I can't hold on any longer!"
"Copy that! Hold on for a while! Hold on for a while! I'll be there soon!"
Near the door, the night watchman with a gun who had previously asked for help from others immediately answered loudly.
Listening to his voice, it sounds a little childish, but also a little familiar.
The sound of footsteps came.
A figure with both hands holding a gun on his chest crossed the door of Ren Zhong's room. It was the night watchman who was about to rush to support another place.
Half a second later, the black shadow left and returned, looking nervously into the room.
Under the moonlight, Ren Zhong and the other party stared at each other with big eyes and small eyes.
Eighteen seconds later, the man let out a long sigh of relief.
"Huh, the way you sat up startled me. I thought it was a latent beast that sneaked into the cabin."
Ren Zhong smiled awkwardly, his thoughts racing.
If someone sees that you are different from ordinary people, should you kill someone and silence them?
His eyes moved quickly and finally landed on the gun barrel on the young man's chest, which was emitting white smoke.
Ren Zhong raised his right hand, extended his index finger, and pointed to the left, "Little brother, aren't you going to support me over there?"
"Oh yes! See you later!"
The next moment, the young man disappeared.
Anyway, he had been discovered. Ren Zhong stood up quietly and poked his head out from the crack of the door. He saw the back of the young man running quickly with a gun in both hands.
Ren Zhong actually recognized this person. He was the young man from the mother and son whom he had followed and overheard the conversation earlier.
The boy is not yet sixteen years old.
At this time, his attire was much the same as before, but there was a slight difference. He had an extra gun, and he was wearing a thick vest, which should be a bulletproof tactical vest. He also had a belt around his waist, which was hung neatly.
The magazine box is full.
Ren Zhong remembered that the mother and son discussed coming over early and renting a watch to sleep in. I don’t know what happened later, turning the boy into a gun-carrying warrior.
There was fire again and guns roared.
The fight started again.
Three minutes later, the movement gradually stopped, leaving only sporadic gunshots ringing in the distance from time to time.
The battle finally ended after five minutes, and the outside world returned to complete silence.
After waiting for a while, the young man from before came back and passed through the door of Ren Zhong's room again.
Seeing Ren Zhong still sitting there, the young man smiled shyly and said, "The battle is over. You can sleep peacefully."
Ren Zhong also smiled and said, "Well, thank you."
…
More than ten minutes later, Ren Zhong was still unable to sleep while lying on the bed.
He looked at his watch and saw that it was already half past one in the morning. He thought that since he had already been seen not asleep, instead of tossing and turning in bed and wasting time, he might as well go out and chat with the young man.
The young man seems to be quite honest and honest, not as thoughtful as Zheng Tian, so he might be more deceptive.
Two moons hang high in the sky, and the earth is filled with silvery light.
Twenty-five iron coffin-like centralized sleeping cabins are placed quietly.
When Ren Zhong walked out of the room, the young man had hung the unique machine gun on his back, lying on the steel ladder railing, looking up boredly, without any sense of urgency.
"Hey, you didn't fall asleep?"
When he saw Ren Zhong walking over, the young man spoke first.
Ren nodded, "I have insomnia."
The young man opened his mouth wide with disbelief on his face.
It seems that insomnia is something incredible in his eyes.
The young man thought again and said in an incomprehensible tone: "I saw you sitting by the bed just now, not wearing the rented watch. Now you are wearing a temporary watch on your left hand? Does that mean you didn't rent it?"
Ren Zhong pondered what the other party said, and after thinking for a while he decided not to hide it, "Yes, I didn't rent a watch."
"If you don't rent a watch, you can't use the hypnosis function, but you should fall asleep at midnight."
The thoughts in Ren Zhong's mind turned rapidly, and he began to analyze more of the nature of the world through the boy's words.
But he was not slow to answer, and instead asked: "Aren't you awake too?"
The young man did not doubt that he was there, and replied: "You and I are different. I took over the job as a night watchman for others today. I took medicine and adjusted the biological clock."
Ren Zhong hummed, "I slept during the day yesterday, and my biological clock wasn't quite right either."
The young man suddenly realized, "Oh! That's no wonder. But there are very few people like you now. I heard that there were no potions in ancient times, and there were night watchmen who used willpower to forcefully adjust the biological clock. But this is not good, I suggest you tomorrow
Let's rent a watch to hypnotize you. Firstly, you can live at the same pace as everyone else, and secondly, you can earn contribution points. Thirdly, you should know that if your biological clock is reversed for too long, you will die suddenly."
Ren Zhong: "Well, thank you for your suggestion. By the way, if you help others keep vigil at night in Spark Town, how much contribution do others usually give you?"
"0.2, which is 0.1 more than renting a watch for one night. But the impact of constant vigils on the body is too bad, and I can't help it. Alas."
"Why?" Ren Zhong asked knowingly.
The young man shook his head melancholy, "I'm almost sixteen. By the way, sir, you're from out of town too, right? What are your plans next? If that doesn't work, why don't we get together when we leave Spark Town? Let's go together?"
"Okay, but we'll tell you when we get it."
Ren Zhong sighed inwardly.
This simple exchange allowed him to feel a little warmth in this strange world.
The boy's mother wanted to give her place to him and leave the town to die.
The young man agreed verbally, but in his heart he still had the idea of leaving.
Although this poor and lonely mother and son lived a difficult life, they still shone with the brilliance of humanity.
Even if it is as small as a firefly and as humble as a weed, there is indeed light in this world.
The young man seemed to agree to Ren Zhong, with a trace of happiness on his face, and he replied solemnly: "Yes!"
The two didn't communicate for too long. Ren Zhong pretended to yawn, went back to his room and lay down again, closing his eyes and falling asleep, thinking deeply.
The young man seemed to equate using a rented watch with earning a contribution.
This is very interesting.
Ren Zhong decided to rent it and try it out tomorrow no matter what.
But there are still doubts. From the boy's tone, it seems that even without a watch, he should have fallen asleep on time at midnight, and slept as well as others.
Is it possible that there is a huge invisible biological clock in this world that affects everyone invisibly?
