Cao Xing turned around almost without hesitation, returned to the Lord's Castle, and shut the doors tight.
Then he drew the curtains and turned off every light in the room, leaving only the coal-burning stove.
After doing all that, he immediately pressed the communication device by his ear and said, "Everyone, extinguish your light sources and stay quietly in your own rooms. Remember, do not make any sound."
Upon hearing the order,
all the Lighthouses across the territory shut down at once.
The windows of every residence were tightly closed, and their curtains were drawn.
Even the Energy Tower at the center of the territory entered a low-power state.
Fortunately, most survivor territories had upgraded their campfires into Furnaces by now.

the entire world sank into silence and darkness.
Whether it was the territory's buildings, its machinery, or its cattle and sheep...
Even the beasts and insects in the valleys beyond the territory fell silent.
At last, it had become a true Silent World!
The survivors in other territories were all curled up in their rooms, waiting anxiously and uneasily.
Many of them had watched the livestream during the day, yet from beginning to end, they had not seen how that survivor had died.

Just after midnight,
