Chapter 241
Another ordinary morning arrived for the diligent citizens of Krasilov (the ones not so diligent all perished), who gazed at the still dark sky with a sense of pride.
“Looks like everyone woke up unusually early today?”
The almost completely black night sky indicated it was close to midnight. And naturally, an ordinary Krasilov citizen would not think lazily, “Since I woke up early, I should sleep a bit more.”
Once they opened their eyes, these folks immediately began to seek work, moving greedily as they hoped that at least today they would receive more than one potato in their rations.
The moment they arrived at their workplaces, the citizen suddenly realized, “There seem to be unusually many early risers today.”
After five hours, still gazing at the dark sky, they wondered if they had woken up even earlier than expected.
Even after twelve hours had passed, looking at the dark sky, a seasoned Krasilovian might have thought of “polar night.”
In fact, polar night cannot occur at this latitude, and polar night does not happen in summer, making the assumption completely wrong. However, generally, logic is more popular as “what one wants to believe” rather than “rationality.”
People fear the inexplicable phenomena. And many do not want to understand what they fear. Thus, Frechenkaya was like any other day for two days following the first polar night.
