"It's earlier again...."
Yu Hong stood up, walked to the door, and looked through the observation window at the hallway outside.
The hallway also had a window facing the outside, which was made of wooden lattice.
At this moment, the sky beyond the lattice window was completely dark.
"How long was daybreak this time?" Zhang Kaijun's voice came from the communicator.
"....Half an hour... maybe even less, the actual time the sun was up wasn't much, and it never got fully bright." Yu Hong answered in a grave tone.
"We should prepare...." After a moment of silence, Zhang Kaijun cut off the communication and logged off.
Boom...
Thunder rolled, and fine raindrops fell once again, hitting the ground and trees with rustling sounds.
Yu Hong turned off the communicator and switched on the electric lights.
He threw his dirty clothes into the fully-automatic washing machine, let it wash, then opened the door and went out, meeting Zhou Xueguang who also came to the common hallway.
