Lately, dusk was settling earlier and earlier.
In the Wasteland, just past 6 p.m., vast expanses of urban areas and forests had already darkened.
To guard against ambushes, players set up torches outside the base's enclosing wall and laid tripwires in the woods, hanging bells as an early warning system.
In a while, it would be dawn in the real world, and many had to go to work during the day. Only 20 players remained at the base, while the other 30 chose to log off.
However, half of the players who logged off said they would be free in the afternoon and would return after noon.
It was a good time to switch players.
After temporarily taking Xiao Qi back to Shelter No. 404 to recharge and seeing off a group of players, Chu Guang sat in the hall's chair and opened the System panel to check his points.
