Chapter 1 1. National statistics
[Today is March 18, 2066, sunny, air variability index 3, there are no abnormalities in Sanqing Mountain and the wasteland...]
[Variations have subsided, Baidu Waste to be revived! Lin Xuefeng, the garrison officer of the Xenozoic Defense Force, retired due to injury. The new garrison officer Wu Yue proposed at the ninth representative meeting of Hanzhangyuan that people's lives should be restored as soon as possible...]
[Huacheng's first national census start! 】
[All people in Huacheng are requested to hold their personal contribution cards and valid personal identification documents, actively and orderly come to the administrative center for verification and registration, and receive relief grains...]
Loud and clear radio sounds came from all directions, and could be heard clearly as far away as the mountains and forests.
The sound of voices gradually came from the wasteland, as if someone was running back.
However, there were bursts of sounds coming from the mountain forest, like trees growing crazily and rustling, or flowers blooming with a bang, and also mixed with strange, pleading animal sounds. Birds chirping...
Suddenly, a young girl stumbled out of the forest.
She was only about eighteen or nineteen years old, with snow-white and soft skin, as if a slight scratch from a leaf would produce a red mark.
But when she stumbled out of the woods wearing shabby clothes, the jagged leaves gave way one after another, and the knotted tree roots squirmed slightly for fear of stumbling.
However, when she left the forest, what stood in front of her without moving at all was a wall of roses about 5 meters high, spreading endlessly to both sides.
Strings of pink flower buds hang from the flower wall. The faint fragrance sweeps along with the wind, and then rolls the blooming petals into the distance.
But with just a quick look, you can find that under the blooming flowers, the dense branches are covered with sharp spikes that shine with cold light, and the ends have a faint metallic color.
【It looks familiar...】
The girl murmured, then reached out and touched it without hesitation.
The next moment, the rose flower wall started to move. The branches were scurrying around, squeezing each other, creating a passable space for her.
The girl was at a loss for a moment, and then passed through without hesitation.
Inside, there is a ruin-like urban area with almost no green.
……
There was a lot of noise in the city.
Many high-rise buildings are still standing safely, but some have collapsed and become ruins. There are many cracks and potholes on the road. I don’t know what kind of tragic scene we have encountered.
In all directions, there are only clumps of green grass sticking out from the cracks in the wall swaying in the wind. Looking from a distance, there is no mature tree to be found.
The whole city seems more and more desolate.
What is completely different from this desolation is the positive and high-spirited voice on the radio that repeats back and forth——
[Huacheng’s first national census begins! 】
[All people in Huacheng are requested to hold their valid personal identification documents and contribution cards and come to the administrative center in an active and orderly manner for verification and registration, and receive relief grains...]
This voice repeats over and over again came, so more and more people came out of the surrounding area.
From residential areas, from shopping malls, from amusement parks... Even among the ruins, people are coming out of unknown places one after another. They are gray-headed, but also excited.
They teamed up with each other and were running quickly towards the city, chattering:
"The recent mutation value is so stable. I haven't heard any movement in Sanqing Mountain recently."
"There has been no movement in Sanqing Mountain. There are fewer mutated animals and plants than in the wasteland..."
"With this mountain and the Rose Corridor blocking it, the damage to our Flower City is relatively small..."
Huaiyu listened silently in the crowd, and at this moment he probably understood - it turned out to be Sanqing Mountain, That flower wall just now is called the Rose Corridor. "There are also many people with wood powers in our Flower City. My mother said it's because the mountain god has blessed us."
"There are only a few superpowers, and they all joined the defense force. It has nothing to do with us ordinary people..."
"Why doesn't it matter? What if our mutation value reaches the critical point and we mutate for a while... ..."
"Stop it! We ordinary people are all crazy when we reach the critical point. And won't those with super powers become more and more polluted in the future? "
With super powers... …
Huaiyu spread his palms: Is his ability to make plants obedient also a superpower?
She wanted to hear more, but the crowd was running away, and another topic came up behind them.
"How much is your contribution? I have moved bricks a lot before, so I will give you an extra two points for this job... It's really sad. Who knows, I used to study finance..."
“I used to study beauty and hairdressing! I have more than 400 points, and I don’t know what kind of relief food I can receive. I heard that in the imperial capital, they are distributed according to contribution points...”
“ Then we are not jealous. The defense troops are on the front line, so they should get more... I just don’t know if my points are enough..."
Everyone was taking long steps or trotting all the way. , Huaiyu, who was walking alone on the road looking around blankly, seemed a little out of place.
When everyone poured into the square building that was obviously missing part of the corner, she looked even more weird.
The hall was full of people, and everyone was talking excitedly or calmly. Voices came from all directions. Huaiyu turned his head slightly, and he could also hear a lot of news——
[Look at how spacious this hall is. It used to be the housing authority. That guy! Wuyangyang is full of people all day long. It's so good now, you can live in unfinished buildings in the city...]
[What nonsense are you talking about, unfinished buildings are so good! There was no greening at the beginning, how safe it was! 】
[The one you are talking about is in the city center. The suburbs are overgrown with weeds. It takes a long time to clean them up before people can live in them...]
[That is, many real estate projects in the suburbs used to say they were close to nature and close to Sanqing Mountain]
[The unfinished buildings did not even have any shelter, and they were ventilated and sunny, so the plants grew very fast! I can’t live there]
[Damn it, I used to live in a villa area so I could have some greenery, but the animals and plants mutated, and the ivy on the wall ripped off one of my walls]
[ Alas, forget about the past, now we can get through it, life can always go on...]
She listened silently, and silently followed the team to move forward. She didn’t know how long she stood there, but it was finally her turn. she.
In front of a simple desk, a middle-aged man was numbly going through the process:
"Give me your ID card."
Huaiyu was confused for a moment, then shook his head: "No."
The other party sighed His tone: "Why are you lining up here without you? Don't you even read the announcement? Go to the team next door."
Huaiyu couldn't think of anything and could only rely on today's crude technology. At this moment, he listened At this point, Wu Dong changed the queue again.
There was also a long queue next door. From the dawn of dawn until the sun was high in the sky, it was finally her turn.
“You lost your ID card, why didn’t you apply for it early in the morning? How did you get your contribution card without your ID card? We were all using temporary ones before?”
