47. Night of the crawlies

Hunter rises and addresses the people. "Pleased to meet you all. Luckily I have been in the city when Nico contacted me. Nico and I had hard times together during the bush war and I know I can trust him with my life. We met earlier and Nico convinced me that the world will end next Friday. The things that will fall from the sky will target the artificial light of cities and towns, will vanish until next Friday when they emerge out of the sewerage systems and attack everyone in the cities and towns. One bite of a spider will be enough to change a person into a vicious, man-eating monster who will attack people and infect them. Cities, towns and institutions will fall into anarchy and the only place where we will be safe is a place that is free of artificial light tonight and luckily I was in time to phone the owners and convince them to put out all the lights tonight. The farm already has much to help us to be self-sufficient: tunnels for vegetables, chicken and eggs, and dairy stock.
