Doomsday Wonderland Chapter 35: Is it really an utopia?
Watching Sister Li and Lu Ze walk into the factory gate, Lin Sanjiu was left sitting alone in the driver's seat of the truck. The car doors were locked and the windows were firmly shut. Next to the truck were people chatting in twos and threes, both men and women. Everyone's expression was very relaxed and at ease, just like before the advent of the "new world", without any sign of struggling to survive in despair... When they met her eyes, many people even looked at her. Nod and smile.
A young mother pushed a stroller past her truck. The fat, white child over one year old inside pointed at her and babbling something.
Even though she cautiously sent Lu Ze down to investigate the situation, she couldn't help but relax her shoulders when she saw this scene.
Mother asked worriedly on the intercom: "He went alone with Sister Li. Is it okay?"
Among the three people, only Lu Ze is the most suitable to go out. If something really happened, with his deformation ability, he would be able to come back smoothly as long as there was a gap - but before Lin Sanjiu could respond, Lu Ze himself laughed on the intercom: "Don't worry, they are here The person looks good."
Besides, Sister Li vaguely said, "Young man...this place belongs to you too..."
Lin Sanjiu sighed. What she was worried about was the supplies in the car.
Although she believes that humans do have many noble emotions, she also believes that humans are a race whose first prerequisite is ensuring their own survival and pursuing profit. Sheltering all exiled humans without asking for anything in return...how is this possible? Let’s not talk about intentions, does “Oasis” have this ability?
No matter how you think about it, I think they will ask everyone to hand over all the supplies and then distribute them uniformly.
"Xiaojiu, Marcel, their place is very big...it seems to have opened up half of the factory area behind the mountain. Ah, this is...what are they waiting in line for?" Lu Ze's voice suddenly became very surprised. of.
"This is the cafeteria." Sister Li moved closer to the intercom, as if she wanted the other two to listen: "Every morning at six o'clock in the morning and at nine o'clock in the evening, we serve a meal in the cafeteria. Now is the time. It's time, these are people who haven't had breakfast yet."
Before Lin Sanjiu came to his senses, there was a burst of noise from Lu Ze, and then he said in a surprised tone: "Xiaojiu, their breakfast is millet porridge, roasted corn, and a plate of pickled mustard. It looks quite delicious..."
"You should see our dinner - everyone has one dish, one meat and one rice!"
"How... is this possible? With the temperature so high, how could there still be vegetables and meat left? Besides, how much water does it take to cook so much food!" Lu Ze asked a few questions in disbelief - —What he said was exactly what Lin Sanjiu and Mather were thinking.
"Didn't you also see our roasted corn? Don't worry, we can have as much vegetables and meat as we want, and we don't have to worry about water. You haven't joined yet, and according to the rules I can't say too much. When you become members of Oasis, I will give you a detailed explanation."
After being surprised, Lin Sanjiu's curiosity became higher and higher - but she did believe Sister Li's words.
Because just look at the people outside the car and you will know: they are all full of energy, their skin is moist, and their lips and nails are healthy pink... Although Lin Sanjiu and others have no worries about eating and drinking, after all, they only have bags. Pretending that the food is edible is not nutritional at all. Eating is just to fill your stomach and get calories. Compared with the people in the oasis, they are really a mess.
While she was looking at the Oasis members in a daze, Lu Ze spoke on the walkie-talkie, her voice a bit intermittent: "Sister Li... the range of my walkie-talkie has ended. Let me... discuss..."
From what he heard, he was probably coming back soon - Lin Sanjiu turned his attention to the factory door, and sure enough, after a while, Lu Ze's figure ran out excitedly, followed by Sister Li and an unknown man. .
The group arrived in front of the motorcade, Lu Ze knocked on the car door, and Lin Sanjiu opened the window.
“I can’t believe it!” Lu Ze’s rabbit teeth sparkled in the strong morning sunlight: “It’s amazing! There is a backup generator here, and I heard that the power supply will start at night. They have stickers on the upstairs It’s covered with reflective cloth, and there’s a large shading canopy built behind it, so it’s much cooler immediately after you walk in!”
Lin Sanjiu nodded and looked at Sister Li and the strange man behind him.
"Let me introduce you," Sister Li pointed to the sturdy, short man and said, "This is my leader. He heard that a new person was here, and he was very concerned about it. He came to understand the situation. ”
...leader? For a moment, Lin Sanjiu felt as if she had traveled back to the new world.
"Hello, my name is Chen Jinfeng, I am a first-level cadre of Oasis Group 8." The man called the leader smiled conceitedly, said with his hands behind his back: "It's really great to see another surviving compatriot. Great."
"Well, nice to meet you..." Lin Sanjiu once again didn't know what to say. The atmosphere in the oasis was so different from the environment she had been in for the past month, which gave her a strange feeling of dislocation. "Wait a minute, I'll call Mather here, and we can get out of the car and talk together."
After receiving the news, Mather locked the bus door and trotted over. Her fluffy red hair looked very dazzling in the sun. Chen Jinfeng glanced at it and was immediately stunned. Then he laughed and said: "Oh, I didn't expect that there are foreign friends! But foreigners are also human beings. We are all compatriots. We are compatriots!" After saying that, he stretched out his hand to shake Mather's hand.
Lin Sanjiu also got out of the car and stood side by side with Mather.
"Then, let me tell you something briefly." Chen Jinfeng waved his hand boldly and said: "The reason why the oasis was able to save more than 1,800 lives is all thanks to Professor Bai. He is here They realized something was wrong before the arrival of the new world - do you still remember the high temperature period of more than a hundred days? Since then, Professor Bai has launched an experimental project of crop research... Now the crops in our oasis are growing The cycle has been shortened to 30 days, and it can still withstand high temperatures!"
Perhaps seeing the unbelievable shocked expressions on the three people's faces, Sister Li smiled and added: "The roasted corn that Xiao Lu saw today is one of our crops here."
"But...how is this possible? Even the plastic will melt at the temperature during the day!" Mather covered her mouth and exclaimed.
"We built a low-temperature greenhouse specifically for cultivating crops." Chen Jinfeng smiled with a proud expression. He looked at the appearance of the three people and said in a very tactful tone: "You have been living outside and have never seen the collective ability. It is normal to not understand it for a while. What Xiao Lu just saw is just a drop in the bucket of the oasis. There is nothing we can do There are still many things to do!"
As he spoke, he became a little excited: "I know that the current situation of mankind is too difficult. But look at the history of mankind - from the great flood, the Black Death, the Spanish Flu... which time was not caused by mankind? A disaster? Didn’t you survive it? It’s the same this time! We look for hope in difficult situations, find a way out, and rescue our compatriots... Everything we do is for future generations. Thousands of years from now, our descendants will When future generations mention us, they will all say that oasis is the fire of mankind!"
His eyes were shining and his tone was full of passion. Because of the high mood, the skin was faintly red. It can be seen that Chen Jinfeng truly believes in the oasis and the future of mankind - compared with such a righteousness, Lin Sanjiu is almost ashamed of his speech: "Well... I want to ask... if If we join, what are you going to do with our own supplies...?"
Sister Li immediately gave her a very dissatisfied look, with "This girl's consciousness is too low" written all over her face.
Chen Jinfeng chuckled, "It's actually a good thing for young people to have concerns, because it means they've thought carefully. Don't worry, there are enough supplies for everyone in the oasis, and they won't forcefully collect anything from anyone. The supplies are willing to be kept by yourself. It’s okay, it’s okay to hand it over, it’s okay to make deals with others… In short, what’s yours is still yours.”
This time, Lin Sanjiu was really surprised.
There are already more than 1,800 people in the oasis. Before them, there must have been people who brought their own supplies - and the peaceful scene now shows that the oasis has never made any trouble about this matter before. Troubles. ~IndoMTL.com~ Mather asked Chen Jinfeng a few more questions, all about the oasis life system. Chen Jinfeng also answered patiently. What makes people feel good is that except for some necessary daily work, Oasis members can spend all their time at will, with a high degree of freedom.
Speaking of this, Sister Li smiled sheepishly: "These young people usually like to stay here and wait for the compatriots passing by... By playing such loud music, one is to welcome you, and the other is also their young people. Like to play."
Lu Ze and Mather looked at each other and at the same time turned their attention to Lin Sanjiu.
"Xiaojiu...what do you think? Should we join the oasis?" Mather asked softly. "It doesn't matter to either of us."
Lin Sanjiu bit her lip and remained silent, secretly complaining that her "sharp intuition" could not be activated at this time. While thinking about it, Li Zhijun's words from last night rang in my ears again - "Go to a crowded place and look for the visa officer..."
One thousand, eight hundred people, that’s a lot of people, right?
"Excuse me...if you want to withdraw from the oasis, is it okay?" She was willing to risk it all. She might as well be the bad guy and ask all the questions that offended people.
As expected, Sister Li was not very happy again. Chen Jinfeng looked much more elegant. He smiled and said: "Although we don't advocate it, you are free in the oasis. You can leave at any time if you want."
"If you say so..." Lin Sanjiu glanced at the two companions beside him hesitantly. "Then let's join in for now?"
