Chapter 111 The Status Quo of the World
[Only released by Jinjiang Literature City]
The reason why Xu Yan chose the meeting place on the tenth floor was naturally because of the plants outside.
The residential building is a fully enclosed building. The building is solid and the glass is firm. The overall situation is fine. However, the exterior walls and glass are also blocked by dense plants that exploded overnight in the community.
The first floor lobby is mostly made of glass, and it is completely submerged in the green sea at this moment. Trees with thick branches stand tall, and cracked floor tiles are stretched high and low, and are covered with various weeds and moss.
Most of the trees are very tall and mixed, and some can vaguely distinguish what species they are. Some of them grow strangely, just like alien plants.
There was a tree that was long against the glass wall. It squeezed through the gray floor tiles outside the building, and its dark rhizomes were exposed. It was entangled. Some of them even climbed up to the glass, like monsters' tentacles, extending from one end of the glass wall to the other end, and were entangled together with the entrance and exit.
If a meeting is held here, it will only make everyone's emotions more and more despair. That's why he will select the meeting on the tenth floor.
There is a house on the tenth floor that is vacant, with only basic hard decorations, not even furniture, and no one has been around for a long time.
At this time, every household is close to their own food and supplies, and customers are not welcome. It is more convenient to choose to hold meetings in an empty house.
The meeting time was 10 o'clock in the morning. You Xi and Fan Qi walked down the stairs at the junction. Originally, for this occasion, she was enough for her own person, but Fan Qi was also locked up in the house for a few days, saying that she wanted to come out and see the situation.
My mother took the initiative, and You Xi felt it was good, so she withdrew from the main position and walked half a step behind with Fan Qi's arm all the way.
When Xu Yan saw them, he first greeted Fan Qi politely, and then smiled at her: "I look good."
The residents arrived soon, with more people than when they went to the community supermarket collectively. Many of Youxi didn't know each other, and they didn't know that they had arrived.
Although Xu Yan organized this meeting, he was only responsible for notifying him. He would come if he wanted to come, and he would not force him to come if he didn't want to come. He waited for ten minutes more and then said that the meeting would begin.
He knew that everyone was very nervous now. After all, in the past, it was just because of the danger outside. The official did not recommend going out, and everyone dared not go out. But now, ordinary people who do not have certain equipment cannot go out even if they want to.
For such dense plants, just identifying the direction is a big problem.
He said he had already gone to the hall to see the situation before going upstairs. Now if someone wants to go out of the building, it will be done without smashing the glass or cutting off the rhizomes of the plant.
Of course, there is another road, that is, after opening the elevator, take the elevator to the underground garage and leave the garage.
The exit of the garage is on the other end. They couldn't see the situation there in the building. Perhaps the plants grew denser than here. But the exit of the garage is open after all, and the stairwell of the underground garage cannot be surrounded by plants. At least there is no need to destroy the door lock when leaving.
He asked everyone to come here today, one of which was to reiterate this point in person. After all, there were many residents in the building, and it was impossible for everyone to have the same idea. He was afraid that someone would want to go out in a hurry, so he took action and destroyed the sealing of the building.
Another thing is to want everyone to get together to discuss what to do afterwards.
"Didn't the news inform us to wait at home? We should send a rescue team to clean up the plants like last time. Anyway, our family won't go out in this situation."
The speaker lives on the third floor, facing the green tree canopy outside the glass every day. Not to mention opening the window, because they are afraid of insects that fly by or pounce on the glass occasionally, their curtains are tightened. Because the glass windows in the living room are too large, most of them are sealed with cardboard tape.
As soon as these words were said, some conservatives nodded frequently.
The plant outbreak lasts for only two or three days. In everyone's consciousness, they still believe in news notifications. Don't think about it when going to school or work, but everyone is the same, and no one will worry about it at this time.
The family's supplies are still sufficient. After all, the social order has been restored for a few days before, and everyone went out to buy a lot of food and drinks.
Although large supermarkets restrict purchases, S City has many self-operated stores, markets, stalls, and group purchases... In short, every household has some reserved supplies, and it is not a problem to hold on for more than half a month. If you make arrangements, plan to consume every day, and even last for a month or longer.
After a month, this is impossible outside. Those are plants. They can be cleaned up quickly as long as they are burned with fire. The official cannot be without any movement for a month.
After all, S City is a big city, so how could such a big city be shut down for a whole month? Even if the authorities don’t care, the country will send people to support it.
They all have online access. From pictures and videos from various channels, we can tell that not every city is growing wildly. They are probably unlucky here. Several surrounding cities have unfortunately become vast green plants.
But there are also many cities where the situation is generally OK. Although it is inevitable to be troubled by mutated animals and plants, it is still operating normally.
The conservatives finished telling each other about the messages on the Internet and began to talk about their respective friends and relatives.
For example, the professor couple living downstairs of Youxi and others, their son, daughter-in-law, and grandson are both in G City. It is probably because they are close to the tropical zone, and the situation is still stable so far.
Travel is definitely troublesome. Basically, the work that can be completed at home is working from home, and social activities can be exempted. However, the city of supply and circulation of materials has spent a lot of effort to protect it, and even slowed down the pace of cleaning up mutant plants and animals. However, during this period, as long as the materials are abundant and people's livelihood issues can be guaranteed, it is okay to complain about the slow speed of handling animals and plants.
When they heard about their parents' situation, they were very anxious and said that when the crisis passed, they would ask them to pack up their things and take a plane to City G. As long as the family could be together, even if the house they lived in was a little smaller, it would be nothing to work hard.
While conservatives were talking, other forward-looking residents couldn't help it.
The first to speak was a pair of young brothers. You Xi had met the eldest one, and he was among the people who went to the community supermarket before. At that time, he dared to take the risk of going out to get supplies within two days of animal and plant mutation. It can be seen that he likes to prepare for the future when doing things.
Their family of four, their parents and their two brothers, are all backbone. Last time they thought about saving themselves, and this time they were the same.
"It's really safe to stay in the building, but don't forget that this situation is completely different from last time. The rescue team started cleaning up the next day after the accident. Later, they encountered a giant rat and called it, and the other party quickly arrived. But now, it's the third day. Have you seen the shadow of the rescue team?"
"Didn't the news inform the special situation that the rescue team will still arrive?"
"What is a special situation? A friend of mine lives on the first floor. Because the plants are growing wildly, even the glass is pierced, and the moss grows on the floor. Every day, it is cleaned and then grows again. They have children at home, who are only over one year old. The milk powder I stocked before has not been replenished to the right age group after the animals and plants have mutated.
The plants grew wildly these two days. Their home seemed to live in a sewer, without any sunshine. It was green outside the window every day. Last night, an earthworm pushed the floor and almost crawled onto the child's bed, scaring the whole family... Called the rescue team, and only the electronic sounds meant that it was not a special situation..."
The elder brother was very organized and as he spoke, he attracted everyone's attention. "Of course, before coming to the meeting today, I also sent a message to them that everyone is alive and nothing big has happened. Perhaps because of this, it is not a special situation. How many such things are there in the entire city?
Will this situation improve after half a month? Nowadays, animal and plant mutation is not our S City or our Shengguo business, but the entire G-Blue Star. Instead of expecting to come for rescue, it is better to save yourself. Don’t wait until the food and water supplies at home are exhausted before thinking about solutions. It will be too late then!"
After he finished speaking, he said that he would wait for two more days. These two days were mainly to judge the situation outside through the Internet, and he would take protective measures to go out later.
Whether it is looking for supplies or patrolling the situation outside, if the operation goes smoothly, the two brothers may take their parents out of S City to other cities with good conditions.
"I know you don't want to admit it, but this disaster is probably not a temporary disaster. We must consider how we should live if the world is like this in the future?"
"That's right!" A female voice spoke. You Xi looked and found that it was the wife of the couple who lived next door to them and was repeatedly attacked by egrets.
She hadn't seen them much after they moved downstairs. As one of the victims of animal and plant mutations before, they have been paying close attention to news outside since they moved downstairs.
"You're right. The disaster covers too much and there are too many unreasonable things. Do you know the statement of 'planet self-healing'?"
"I know. I think it makes sense too. As a carrier, the planet should have been neutral, but now it is obvious that it is helping other animals and plants and squeezing our human living space, just like the planet suddenly comes alive."
The other party's statement made the woman nod frequently. She had been checking the information about this at home for a while, but her husband didn't understand this and always felt that she was obsessed with it. He also said that those were superstitious things promoted by illegal organizations.
I don't know how many times the two of them quarreled about this.
Now that I heard someone knows more deeply than she knows, I immediately stretched out my hand to the other party: "I am Chen Tong, I originally lived on the 15th floor, but was targeted by a dead bird, so I moved to the 7th floor for the time being."
"Gou Yaoyang, this is my younger brother Gou Mingfeng, we live on the ninth floor."
"I'm very happy to know you. Remember to notify when you take action in the future. I will definitely go! I've really lived enough of this kind of timid and waiting for rescue every day!"
Chen Tong was very beautiful, Gou Yaoyang couldn't help but look at her a few more times: "Okay."
"Okay, okay, you're starting again, let's go back!" Chen Tong's husband looked bad and directly pulled the person out.
After the couple left quarrelingly, Gou Yaoyang told a lot of relevant information about the statement "planet self-repair". His words were reasonable and well-founded. Some people were obviously relieved and planned to go out to check the situation in two or three days.
There are many people and great power. Even if everyone has no equipment, at least there are people who are companions and collectively act, they will feel much better.
Xu Yan looked at You Xi, who was standing aside as an audience member with his mother throughout the whole process, walked over and asked, "Are you going?"
You Xi originally planned to find time to go out to check the situation outside in the past two days. Now, he knows that other residents want to go out to get supplies and think it's okay to go with him, so he just thinks it's a task to go out for exercise.
After all, this is her native world. For her, the people in this world are all flesh and blood. She is not incapable of being able to do so now. Although she doesn't want to take out the materials she has accumulated and give them directly like a Virgin, she doesn't want to be too cold-blooded and just watch the cold eyes.
Stay in the team and go out together, and help you at critical moments. Of course, some people who are too desperate will be forgiven.
When Xu Yan heard that she was going to go too, he immediately said that he would be together here too.
"Well, then please notify me if you have confirmed the time." After she said that, she went upstairs with Fan Qi.
A few days later, Youxi and his family of three lived in a dull and comfortable apartment.
This time when Youxi went to the world of Acid Rain, the large amount of supplies he stocked up in advance included many electronic products with slightly higher technology that were not available in this world.
She bought many mobile phones that can be used as bracelets. She tried using them in this world, but because the phone card models are different, the call function cannot be used.
The mobile network function is also unusable, probably because the phone card causes the signal mismatch, but thankfully, the home wireless network phone can actually be connected.
Currently, the network and wireless apartments in reality have not been discontinued, so these also have signals in the Star House simulation apartment.
She asked the system that this situation would last until the outside signal network was disconnected.
Therefore, transparent mobile phones from the world of Acid Rain can access the Internet in places with wireless networks and connect to the world's network. Unfortunately, because most apps do not match, even if they are connected to the Internet, it is useless.
