Following Mo Xiao's gaze, Ye Xiaoying also saw the tree. This touch of green invisibly added some vitality to the oasis city that was full of steel and rust.
Buller was attracted by the topic they were talking about, and looked over, and plucked up the courage to say: "It was planted in recent years, and it caused a great sensation. It is the first time for us to see such green trees.
."
The "normal" land in Oasis City is at the bottom level. For example, there is basically no soil in the middle level where they are located. There are naturally no trees and not even a few weeds.
If you think about it carefully, although Oasis City has the name of an oasis, Mo Xiao and the others only saw some dark green algae plants in some places and reservoirs where water has accumulated for a long time. This name is really not worthy of the name.
Mo Xiao and the others understand this situation very well. It is really not easy to find a place to plant flowers, plants and trees in the oasis, and anyway, the environment here is really bad. Not only humans, but plants also lack soil to survive.
It is rare to see such a tree.
Over the years, the growth of population has brought more labor force to the city, and it also requires more land. This is the only way for a normal and healthy country or city to develop.
However, the development path of Oasis City has come to an end. Environmental restrictions have left them with no future for development. Outside the scope of the valley, the toxins in the air will increase exponentially, making it impossible to survive. Therefore, in order to own more land
For residents to live in, they can only expand upward or downward.
But this is just drinking poison to quench thirst. Just like outward expansion, there are still limits up and down. Regardless of the external environment, just getting taller and older, the buildings getting older, and the chaotic structure are inherently unsafe.
, if this continues, it will be a matter of time before it collapses, because the hidden dangers of this city are too obvious, and anyone who has used their brains at all will understand the danger.
But even so, the oasis is their only home. Compared with the dark area, although it is old, crowded, and messy, it is also their paradise. But when the paradise is about to be full, the people of the oasis city can only place their hopes in the dark area.
.
"That's why adventurers appeared." Buller pulled up the brim of his hat and lowered his head and said, "In fact, the government office did not approve of adventurers going to the dark area before, just because of a vague and unconfirmed rumor that kept young people...
It’s not worth it for people to die.”
That's what I say, but in the face of the broken road, there are still brave people who continue to enter the dark area to find a way out. The government office cannot stop it even if they want to, or they themselves are contradictory.
I have hope but have to choose to be cautious.
Mo Xiao turned around and asked: "You said before, in other words, the attitude of the government office has changed now?"
Buhler nodded: "Well, in the past two years, I have also taken the initiative to announce the work of exploring the dark area, and my attitude has become quite positive. This is something that has never happened before, uh... As far as I know, no." p>
"Do you know the reason?" Mo Xiao asked casually.
"I'm sorry, I don't know."
An expected answer.
Patty rubbed her numb knees, sat on the chair and said, "I'm a little curious about what caused the government office to change its attitude. It can't be just a whim, right?"
A few people chatted in a few words while looking out the window. Soon the tram arrived near the target's residence. They sneaked off the train just like they got on the train secretly, without anyone noticing.
"If you dare to use this trick to spy, you will be dead."
After getting off the bus, Shu Mo received stern warnings from the two ladies.
His trick used to be a cover-up to deceive ordinary people. After being fed by Mo Xiao several times, his ability has become more and more powerful. If you don't concentrate, you can't find him at all. Think of this guy Shu Mo.
The lower limit is unknown, so we have to be careful.
Long Qinghong was also surprised, but in the period of rapid growth before he was about to transform and fully mature his abilities, how could he have imagined that Shu Mo had eaten some heavenly material and earthly treasure and soared to who knows how many levels.
Facing the stern warnings from the two ladies, Shu Mo didn't panic at all. After glancing at Ye Xiaoying, he turned his head away with disdain. He used his expression to show that they were worrying too much.
There was not much chit-chat next. Following Buller's footsteps, the few of them arrived at the place not far away. It was a steel plate house. It was not much different from the houses in other places in Oasis City. The exterior walls were stained with rust.
It was obvious that it was old. The only difference was that there was a small pot of thorn plant placed in the window of the room. Mo Xiao took a few more glances.
I knocked lightly on the door made of thin iron sheet, and the door opened immediately. The house was very small, and the stove, bed, tables and benches were all squeezed into a small space of twenty to thirty square meters. A young woman with short hair was lying on her back.
She was sleeping on the table, and the sound of them entering the door obviously woke her up.
"Excuse me, who are you... Huh? Buller?" The woman immediately sat upright, turned her head to look at the people who entered the door, and recognized the young man who was leading the way.
The room was already small, but as soon as a few people came in, it was immediately crowded, as if the air was a lot thinner. Especially with Reyes' height, he couldn't even straighten his waist in this room.
Buller introduced: "She is Strange's sister, Liv."
He has an ordinary appearance, but his eyes are very sharp. This is Mo Xiao’s first impression.
Facing Liv's confused look, Mo Xiao took out the letter from home: "This is the first time we met. This letter is a relic of your brother Strange."
Liv's expression suddenly froze. She swayed and took the letter from Mo Xiao's hand blankly: "Brother's... relic? Is he dead?"
When Mo Xiao nodded, she covered her head, her hands trembling: "Are you...adventurers?"
Of course she understands where Strange went. The only people who can move in the dark area are collectors and adventurers.
Mo Xiao did not answer this question, but just said: "He was a warrior. He died on his own road and deserves respect. We found the oasis with the help of the map he left behind."
Liv bit her lips tightly, her eyes were sad, and after a while she said: "I'm sorry... I really don't know what to say now. My thoughts are very confused, can you please let me be quiet..." p>
Without disturbing too much, the people left the room. Before exiting the room, Mo Xiao leaned against the window sill and quietly pulled out a plant leaf.
"Here, let's check and see if it's true."
Mo Xiao placed the leaves in front of the mysterious pendant. He had a bold guess in his mind that the potted plant on the window sill was very similar to a plant in the devil world.
The results came out quickly, and the mysterious pendant confirmed his guess.
Mo Xiao held the leaf and murmured to himself: "This is very interesting. Could it be that where we are now is the devil world?"
