Chapter 35 Is It Really an Ideal Township?
Seeing Sister Li and Lu Ze walk into the gate of the factory, Lin Sanjiu was left alone in the driver's seat of the truck. The doors were locked and the windows were securely closed. Next to the truck were people chatting in twos and threes, both men and women. Everyone's expressions were relaxed and free, as they had been before the advent of the "New World", and there was no trace of struggling to survive in despair...... When they met her gaze, many would even nod and smile at her.
A young mother pushes a stroller past her truck, and the fat white child in it is more than a year old and babbling something at her.
Even though she cautiously sent Luzer down to investigate the situation, she couldn't help but relax her shoulders when she saw this scene.
On the walkie-talkie, Mather asked worriedly: "He went with Sister Li alone, is it okay?" ”
Of the three, only Luzer was the most suitable to go out. If something really happens, with his transformation ability, he will be able to come back as long as there is a gap - but before Lin Sanjiu could respond, Lu Ze himself laughed on the walkie-talkie: "Don't worry, the people here look good." ”
Next to her, Sister Li vaguely said, "Young man...... This place is also your ......."
Lin Sanjiu sighed. She was still worried about the supplies in the car.
Although she believed that human beings did have many noble emotions, she also believed that human beings were a race whose first prerequisite was to ensure their own survival and to pursue profit. sheltering all human beings in exile without expecting anything in return...... How is this possible? Not to mention the intention, does the "Oasis" have this ability?
No matter how you think about it, I think they will ask everyone to hand in all the supplies, and then distribute them uniformly.
"Little wine, Mather, they're very big here...... It seems that half of the factory area behind the mountain has been opened. Ah, this is...... What are they doing in line? Luze's voice suddenly became very surprised.
"This is the cafeteria." Sister Li leaned closer to the walkie-talkie, and seemed to want the other two to listen: "Every morning at six o'clock and nine o'clock in the evening, we serve a meal in the cafeteria. Now is the right time, these are the people who haven't eaten breakfast yet. ”
Before Lin Sanjiu could come back to his senses, there was a murmur from Lu Ze's side, followed by his surprised tone: "Xiaojiu, their breakfast is millet porridge, roasted corn, and a plate of mustard. It looks pretty fragrant......"
"You should look at our dinner - everyone is a standard of one dish, one meat and one rice!"
"This ...... How can it be? With such a high temperature, how can there still be meat from the past? Besides, how much water does it take to cook so many meals! Lu Ze asked a few words in disbelief—what he said was exactly what Lin Sanjiu and Marser had in mind.
"Didn't you see our roasted corn too? Rest assured, we want as many vegetables and meat as we want, and we don't have to worry about water. You haven't joined yet, so I can't say too much according to the rules. When you also become a member of the Oasis, the eldest sister will tell you a good story. ”
After being taken aback, Lin Sanjiu's curiosity was hung higher and higher—but she believed Sister Li's words.
Because just look at the people outside the car: all of them are full of energy, their skin is moisturized, and their lips and nails are a healthy pink color...... Although Lin Sanjiu and a few people don't have to worry about eating and drinking, after all, only bagged food can be eaten, and there is no nutrition at all. Eating is just a matter of filling your stomach and getting calories, and compared to the people of the oasis, it is really a dish.
Just as she was looking at the members of the oasis in a daze, Lu Ze spoke on the walkie-talkie, and her voice was a little intermittent: "Sister Li...... My walkie-talkie range is at its end. I'll ...... first. Discuss ......"
Hearing this, it was probably coming back soon-Lin Sanjiu set his eyes on the factory gate, and sure enough, after a while, Lu Ze's figure ran out excitedly, followed by Sister Li and a man he didn't know.
When the group came to the front of the convoy, Lu Ze knocked on the door, and Lin Sanjiu opened the window.
"I can't believe it!" Luze's rabbit teeth glistened in the fierce morning sun: "It's amazing! There is a backup generator here, and I heard that the power will be turned on at night. They have reflective cloth on the upper floors, and a large blackout roof has been built in the back, which is much cooler when 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, not tall man and said, "This is my leader, he heard that a new person has come over, and he is very concerned, so he came to find out about the situation." ”
…… Leadership? For a moment, Lin Sanjiu felt as if he had traveled back to before the New World.
"Hello, my name is Chen Jinfeng, and I am a first-tier cadre of the eighth group of Oasis." The man known as the leader smiled to himself, put his hands behind his back and said, "It's great to be able to see another compatriot who has survived." ”
"Well, I'm glad to ......" 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, that she had a strange sense of dislocation. "Wait a minute, I'll call Marser too, and we can get out of the car and talk together."
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 for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Ouch, I didn't expect that there are foreign friends!" But foreigners are also human beings, and we are all compatriots, all compatriots! As he spoke, he reached out and shook his hand with Mather.
Lin Sanjiu also got out of the car and stood side by side with Marcer.
"So, let me tell you a little bit about it." Chen Jinfeng waved his hand very boldly and said, "The reason why Oasis was able to save the lives of more than 1,800 people is thanks to Professor Bai. He realized something was wrong before the New World came - do you remember those 100-odd days of heat? Since then, Professor Bai has been working on a practical project for crop research...... Today, the growth cycle of crops in our oasis has been shortened to 30 days, and they can still withstand high temperatures! ”
Probably seeing the unbelievable shocked looks on the faces of the three people, Sister Li added with a smile: "The roasted corn that Xiao Lu saw today is one of the crops we have here. ”
"But...... How is that possible? In the daytime, even the plastic will melt! Marsher covered her mouth and exclaimed.
"We built a low-temperature greenhouse specifically to grow crops." Chen Jinfeng smiled, his expression high-spirited. He looked at the appearance of the three people, and his tone was very tactful: "You have been living outside, and you have not seen the ability of the collective, so it is normal not to understand for a while. What Xiao Lu saw just now is just a drop in the bucket of the oasis, and there are still many things we can do! ”
As he spoke, he became a little excited: "I know that the situation of humanity is too difficult now. But look at the history of mankind -- from the Flood, to the Black Death, to the Spanish flu...... What is not the end of humanity? Didn't you survive it too? It's the same this time! We look for hope in the midst of adversity, find a way out, and rescue our compatriots...... Everything we do is for the sake of future generations. Thousands of years from now, when future generations mention us, they will say that the oasis is the spark of mankind! ”
His eyes sparkled and his tone was passionate. Because of the high mood, the skin is faintly red. It can be seen that Chen Jinfeng truly believes in the oasis and believes in the future of mankind - compared with such righteousness, Lin Sanjiu is almost ashamed of his statement: "That...... I'd like to ask...... If joined, our own supplies...... What are you going to do about it? ”
Sister Li immediately glanced at her very dissatisfied, and her face was full of "This girl's consciousness is too low".
Chen Jinfeng smiled, "It's actually a good thing that young people have concerns, which means that they are thoughtful." You can rest assured that there are enough supplies in the oasis for everyone to live on, and they will not forcibly take anything from anyone. It's okay to keep the materials yourself, turn them in, or make deals with others...... In short, yours is still yours. ”
This time, Lin Sanjiu was really surprised.
There were already more than 1,800 people in the oasis, and there must have been people who brought their own supplies before them - and the peaceful scene now shows that the oasis has not had a storm about this in the first place.
Marser asked Chen Jinfeng a few more questions, all about the Oasis life system. Chen Jinfeng also patiently answered them one by one. What is very impressive is that the members of the oasis can spend all their time at will, except for some necessary daily work, and have a high degree of freedom.
Speaking of this, Sister Li smiled embarrassedly: "This group of young people usually like to stay here and wait for their compatriots passing by when they are fine...... Playing such loud music is a sign that you are welcome, and the other is that they young people like to play. ”
Lu Ze and Marser glanced at each other, and at the same time set their eyes on Lin Sanjiu.
"Little wine...... What do you think? Shall we - join the Oasis? Marser asked softly. It doesn't matter to the two of us. ”
Lin Sanjiu bit his lip and didn't say a word, secretly complaining that his "keen intuition" couldn't be activated at this time. After thinking about it, the words of the king of Lizhi last night rang in his ears again - "Go to a crowded place and find a visa officer......"
1,800 people, that's a lot, right?
"Excuse me...... If you want to exit the oasis, is that possible? She also let it go, so she came to be a bad person and asked all the questions that offended people.
Sure enough, Sister Li didn't look very happy again. Chen Jinfeng still looked much more personable, he smiled and said: "Although we don't advocate it, the oasis is free, and you can go whenever you want." ”
"Since that's the case......" Lin Sanjiu hesitantly glanced at the two companions beside him. So let's join for now, shall we? ”

That's 110,000 words so fast...... Well, although the results are dismal, I'm glad that someone is watching all the time, wahaha.
