186: Chapter 186 The Eternal Night Zone

It took a long while before she finally let him go.

Her face was completely flushed, but her eyes were bright.

"Thank you, Brother Qin Lin..."

Qin Lin patted her head.

"You're welcome. If you want to do tasks in the future, come anytime."

Su Yuling nodded and turned to run away.

Running to the door, she glanced back at him and smiled.

That smile was more brilliant than ever.

A few days later, after getting familiar with the environment and the affairs on the RV, Zhou Lingling and Zhou Yueyue also completed their "first time."

The two of them took on the third task together.

Kissing.

Qin Lin originally thought they would do it separately, but he didn't expect the two of them to stand before him together, with identical faces and identical expectations.

"Together?"

Both of them nodded.

Qin Lin smiled.

He kissed Zhou Lingling first, then Zhou Yueyue.

Two kisses, exactly the same feeling.

But being unable to tell who was who actually made it more interesting.

[System Notification: Zhou Lingling has completed the special task "Kissing the Host"]

[Reward: 50 survival points have been issued]

[System Notification: Zhou Yueyue has completed the special task "Kissing the Host"]

[Reward: 50 survival points have been issued]

After finishing the task, Zhou Lingling looked at Qin Lin.

There was a "just as I thought" glint in her eyes.

She hooked her arms around Qin Lin's neck and whispered:

"Hmph! And you still say you're not a pimp."

Qin Lin: "..."

Now he really couldn't clear his name even if he jumped into the Yellow River.

Having completed their task, the two ran off hand-in-hand.

Qin Lin watched their retreating figures, recalling Su Yuran's words.

It's better to not be able to tell them apart.

He seemed to understand a little now.

Half a month later.

Everyone on the RV had earned quite a few survival points.

Han Yurou bought several new swimsuits and changed into a different one every day.

Li Ying bought a ton of skincare and makeup products, making herself look even more exquisite.

Han Qing bought some professional medical equipment to make the Medical Room's functions more complete.

Su Yuling bought several beautiful dresses and began experimenting with different styles.

Zhou Lingling and Zhou Yueyue bought several sets of Lolita outfits in different colors, varying their style every day.

Lin Wanwan and Xu Xue bought many baby supplies and began preparing for the baby.

Su Yuran didn't buy anything, but she controlled everyone's financial data, becoming the true Mistress No. 001.

That night, Qin Lin checked the System data in the Drivers Cabin.

[Current Passengers: 9 people]

[Pregnant: 5 people]

[Current survival points: 4534]

[blessing points: 15]

He nodded with satisfaction.

Everything was developing in a positive direction.

Just then, the door was pushed open.

Su Yuran walked in and sat down beside him.

"Qin Lin, you've been quite busy lately."

Qin Lin smiled.

"What? Are you jealous?"

Su Yuran raised an eyebrow.

"Why would I be jealous? I'm here to remind you that it's time to close the net."

Qin Lin looked at her.

Su Yuran pointed at the System interface.

"The Zhou Sisters have been here for half a month; the tasks that need to be finished should be finished."

Qin Lin understood what she meant.

"You mean... getting them pregnant?"

Su Yuran nodded.

"Yes, they're twins. If they get pregnant together, the rewards will definitely double."

Qin Lin thought about it.

"No rush, I'll wait for them to take the initiative to do the task."

"Mhm! As long as you remember. I'm just here to remind you; you decide exactly how to do it."

Qin Lin brought up the System to check Zhou Lingling and Zhou Yueyue's status.

[Zhou Lingling: Healthy, Not Pregnant]

[Zhou Yueyue: Healthy, Not Pregnant]

...

The road south was far more treacherous than imagined.

Having experienced the thrills of the Magma Zone and the complexity of the Safe Zone, Qin Lin had thought the next part of the journey would be relatively peaceful.

But as it turned out, the apocalypse would never let anyone rest in peace.

This morning, while the RV was driving across a desolate plain, the System suddenly issued a warning chime.

[Warning: Abnormal energy fluctuations detected ahead]

[Energy Type: Dark Matter Radiation]

[Threat Level: Medium]

[Recommendation: Reduce speed and initiate deep scan]

Qin Lin frowned and brought up the scanning interface.

[Deep scanning...]

[Scan complete]

[Special disaster zone detected: eternal night zone]

[Characteristics: Complete darkness, consumes light sources, zero visibility]

[Range: Approximately 50km in diameter, slowly expanding]

[Internal Environment: Temperature -10°C to 5°C, no extreme high/low temperatures]

[Special Effects: Lighting System efficiency reduced by 80%, detection System efficiency reduced by 70%]

Looking at this data, Qin Lin's heart sank.

eternal night zone?

Not just simple darkness, but darkness that consumes light sources?

[eternal night zone: Special disaster zone]

[Properties: No visible light within the zone, all light sources will be weakened by more than 90%]

[Impact on RV:]

[—External lighting efficiency reduced by 95%]

[—Optical detection System disabled]

[—Radar System interference, detection range shortened to 50 meters]

[Internal Systems: Unaffected, life support functions normally]

Qin Lin breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, the interior was unaffected.

Just as he was about to turn around and take a detour, the System issued another warning.

[Warning: eternal night zone expansion speed accelerating]

[Estimated to cover the RV's current position within 30 minutes]

[Recommendation: Stay in place]

"Just stay parked like this?"

Qin Lin was puzzled; did the RV really want him to just stay here indefinitely?

[The eternal night zone is a mobile disaster zone; it is expected to stay for 15 days]

15 days?

Then I'll just stop and wait.

Only need to wait 15 days.

Fifteen days was nothing for the RV.

"System, if I stay, can the RV withstand the effects of the Eternal Night?"

[The RV's internal environment is unaffected by the Eternal Night]

[Lighting, detection, and communication Systems will be severely interfered with]

[However, life support, climate control, and protective shields can operate normally]

[Recommendation: Stay in place and wait for the eternal night zone to pass over]

Qin Lin nodded and made his decision.

"Everyone, gather in the living room."

A minute later, all nine people were gathered in the living room.

Su Yuran was the first to speak:

"Qin Lin, what's wrong?"

Qin Lin pointed at the scan image on the holographic screen.

"There's an eternal night zone ahead. It consumes light sources, and visibility is zero. We're trapped."

Everyone's expressions changed.

"Trapped?" Han Yurou asked nervously.

"For how long?"

"The System says about 15 days. The eternal night zone is mobile; once it passes, we can continue on our way."

Li Ying frowned.

"15 days? Staying here the whole time?"

"Yes," Qin Lin nodded.

"The RV's interior isn't affected, but it's pitch black outside. We can't move or go out; we just have to wait."

Han Qing said softly:

"At least it's safe. Compared to the Magma Zone, this is much better."

Everyone thought about it and their expressions softened.

Zhou Lingling asked in a low voice:

"Then... do we need to make any preparations?"

Qin Lin shook his head.

"Nothing at all. The RV will maintain the environment itself. Just live your lives as usual."

No sooner had he spoken than it suddenly grew dark outside the window.
