Chapter 52:
At night, the base was still brightly lit.
On the surface of the earth, the generating set sends a steady stream of electricity down to the underground base, providing a bright light to the streets and buildings of Remutt.
But Remutt hadn’t been extravagant enough to power all day, and the generator set needed cooling, cooling, or maintenance, so the power supply was limited to nine in the morning and nine in the evening.
It was after nine o’clock when the men in the base either went to bed, or went to their rented house on the surface to feel the old days, or went straight to the bar to have some fun.
John’s office closed at nine and closed.
So Lia’s examination was scheduled to take place at seven with the doctor.
After dinner, Zero took Leah by the hand and led her out into the street.
Lara kept her weight on Zero’s shoulder, but he was fond of Leah, too, so he occasionally thrust his fat body into the girl’s arms.
Leah pulled her bonnet and hood over her beauty, but they couldn’t hide the pleasure of her body.
