Soon, batch after batch of babies and toddlers, as well as teenagers, began to ride the mine’s lifting device one after another, all the way to a surface they had never set foot on in their lives.
They included babies who were just a few months old, children who were just learning to speak, and teenagers who were on the verge of adulthood.
In order to give priority to these children to experience the first sunrise of their lives, all adults were excluded from the list of those who went to the well this time.
There is one exception, however, and that is for all children under the age of three, whose mothers are allowed to accompany them as guardians to the surface for their belated first sunrise.
Children under the age of three were accompanied by their mothers, while those over the age of three joined hands with their siblings or friends and came to the surface one after another.
On the roof of the copper mine, more than seven hundred children under the age of eighteen breathed in fresh air they had never breathed before and stared with excitement and anticipation at the eastern skyline.
The moment the white of the fish’s belly began to rise in the east, all the children were so excited that they didn’t dare to blink, fearing that they would miss the first sunrise of their lives.
The poor thing was that none of these children, although they had heard their parents talk about the sun since they were children, knew what it really looked like.
After all, there was not even a single picture related to the sun in the Deadman’s quarters.
Some of the children could not believe how their fathers and grandfathers said that after that dazzling ball of fire rose into the sky, everything on earth would be completely illuminated by it.
The children had only seen lights since they were born, so they had the impression that a light, at most, could only illuminate a house, and how could it illuminate everything on earth.
So, at this moment, they all waited for the moment when they would witness the miracle.
A few minutes later.
The sky was gradually brightening and the dappled clouds were visible in the sky.
The unpredictable sky made all the children look in awe, each one staring in awe at the clouds floating in the sky, a sight they had never seen before.
As the brightness became stronger and stronger, looking around, the earth and all things, as well as the magnificent sea, were clearly visible.
Standing on top of the building, they could easily look down on the sea.
When the children saw this, they could not help but exclaim in amazement.
They had heard their fathers talk about the sea, saying that it was a vast expanse of water, and that in the extreme distance, the sky and the water were connected in a line, and the sea and the sky were in one spectacular colour.
After all, they had never even seen the sky.
Now, when they saw the sky and the sea, all abstract descriptions suddenly became vivid and incomparable.
Just as the children let out a cry of amazement, a golden light suddenly rose from the east, and the original fish-belly white skyline turned into a golden colour in this instant!
In the next moment, a golden arc in the sky appeared from the other side of the sea.
One child pointed to the arc and shouted excitedly, “Look! Is that the sun?!”
