Chapter: 5137
"'Yes, sir!' The two of them nodded without hesitation, and Leaf Chen's idea was in line with their plans."
"Leaf Chen continued: 'Additionally, if the families participate in logistics support work, they will receive payment based on actual workload. And for children under 18, each child will receive a monthly allowance of $200 to cover dairy expenses, which will be collected and managed by their family members.'"
"'Dairy expenses?' The two of them were completely baffled by what this money was used for."
"Leaf Chen just shrugged: 'It's just a little benefit I'm giving the kids.'"
"As he spoke, Leaf Chen suddenly remembered something and turned to Thirty-Nine Zero: 'Oh, from now on, starting from 5am every morning until 11pm at night, you can send at least 6 batches of people in rotation to the surface. They can change into the uniform of the Cavalry Guard and spend three hours doing outdoor activities on the surface, but absolutely not allowed to leave the mine without permission, lest they leak information.'"
"'Don't worry, I guarantee that not a single one of my people will leave the mine without permission!' Thirty-Nine Zero assured."
"Good." Leaf Chen nodded and said, "Alright then, let's start organizing the kids to go up now!"
......
Soon, batch after batch of babies, toddlers, and children began taking the elevator-like device in the mine shaft, making their way to the ground above.
Among them were infants just a few months old, as well as children who had just started learning to talk, and teenagers on the cusp of adulthood.
To prioritize letting these kids experience their first sunrise, all adults were not included in this trip up the mine.
However, there was one exception: all children three years old or younger could be accompanied by their mothers as chaperones, experiencing their delayed first sunrise together.
Children under three went with their mothers, while those over three went hand in hand with their siblings, friends, or group mates to arrive at the ground.
On the rooftop of the mine office building, over 700 children under the age of 18 took deep breaths of fresh air they had never smelled before, their faces filled with excitement and anticipation as they stared intently at the eastern horizon.
As the eastern sky began to take on a fishbelly white hue, all the kids were so excited that even their eyes wouldn't dare blink, fearing they might miss their first sunrise in life."
Pity it was, these children had heard their parents talk about the sun since they were young, but who knew what it really looked like.
After all, in this base, even a photo related to the sun didn't exist.
Some children couldn't believe what their parents said - that after the sun rose high in the sky, everything on earth would be thoroughly illuminated by its radiant light.
From birth, they had only seen lamps, so in their imagination, a lamp could only illuminate a single room at most. How could it illuminate the entire earth?
So, at this moment, they were all waiting for the moment to witness a miracle.
In just a few minutes...
The sky gradually brightened, with cloud formations faintly visible on the horizon.
The unpredictable sky left all the children staring in amazement one after another, each person closely watching the clouds floating by, exclaiming and marveling at the beauty, for they had never experienced it before.
As the brightness grew stronger, looking out, the surrounding earth and the vast ocean that stretched far and wide became clear to see.
From where I stood on this rooftop, I could easily gaze down at the ocean. JrNovels.com
