Volume 1: The Source of Life Chapter 132: Wreak
The test site was a little far away from Spring City, and Sang Yu followed Xiao Muchen's car and staggered for most of the day before arriving at the foot of a mountain and river.
The camp was encamped, and rows of tents were soon set up.
There were about 200 people who came this time, and as soon as the cooking team arrived at the place and cleaned up, they set up a large cauldron that came up, half steaming rice and half cooking vegetables.
Jumping out of the car, Xiao Muchen pointed to a yellow mountain not far away.
"This used to be a snow-capped mountain, and it was covered with snow and ice for tens of millions of years. Not a single grass grows, let alone people go up. ”
Sang Yu looked up at the snow mountain that Xiao Muchen said.
There is still a trace of ice and snow, which is just an ordinary barren mountain.
Not even a barren mountain, more desolate than a barren mountain, full of craggy rocks, like a malnourished, emaciated man who was about to die, supporting his bones.
"Because of the warmer climate, the snow-capped mountains have become barren mountains, and the barren mountains have become deserts. The animals and plants that live in the snow are almost dead, and those who can stay can either change their genes and habits, or survive. ”
Xiao Muchen's mood was a little heavy, after the melting of ice and snow, countless viruses have turned tens of billions of people in the heyday of mankind into less than 100 million people now.
For modern humans, the hardest thing is not material deprivation, not the raging virus, not the fear of the imminent end of the world.
Rather, people can't huddle together to keep warm.
The greater the power, the less you want to give up the comfortable status you can have now.
They requisitioned, oppressed, plundered, and did everything they could to kill and set fire to expand a territory.
This is the sorrow of an age, and it is also the sorrow of the imminent extinction of mankind.
People compete with each other for resources to survive, and people compete with animals and plants for space to survive. People compete with this harsh living environment for the chance to survive.
"Where's that over there?"
Sang Yu pointed to the low-lying place not far away, and it was obvious that there was no river or ocean in the past.
"That's the Black Sea, it used to be the largest ocean in Blue Star, but now the sea has receded more than a dozen kilometers away."
Xiao Muchen took Sang Yu's hand and walked high: "Can you see it?" The sea over there. ”
Sang Yu stood on tiptoe and squinted into the distance, it turned out that there was still an ocean. The real ocean is not inhabited by many sea creatures.
The blue ocean is full of beautiful fish, dolphins, and starfish orbiting corals.
These scenes, which could only be seen in the past with footage, may no longer be visible.
"What are you thinking?"
"I wonder what the world will look like in a few hundred or thousands of years?"
Xiao Muchen looked at the ocean that was retreating more and more under the scorching sun, as well as the fields on the ground that were gradually drying up, and the trees and weeds that were scorched by the sun.
Why did the world become the way it is?
What will they leave for future generations after a thousand years?
And what should he do for the people of a thousand years to be worthy of his birth in this era?
"Xiao Muchen, I must build the farm well, and then slowly expand it to make more oases."
"Okay, we will turn more land into fertile land, more mountains and rivers into green forests, so that the land will no longer be barren. Does this count as an account for future generations? ”
Sang Yu replied loudly: "Count." ”
There may be more they can do, but now let's start with the tiniest of these.
Xiao Muchen stood on a boulder and stretched out his hand to Sang Yu: "Come here, I'll take you to see where the polar bear slept before." ”
"Polar bears?"
Sang Yu stretched out his hand in disbelief: "Don't they live on glaciers?" Why, they still have caves? ”
"Hmm."
Xiao Muchen took Sang Yu's hand and carefully avoided some sharp stones, and walked to a small hillside.
"Polar bears are very lazy creatures, and they spend most of their lives about 60 or 70 percent of their lives in a static state. For example, sleeping, resting, or waiting for prey. The rest of the time is either walking and swimming, or catching prey and enjoying delicious food. ”
"I've read in encyclopedias that the white polar bear is beautiful, white, and big. It's just that it's extinct now. ”
Sang Yu regretted a little, if she was born in the twentieth century, how good it would have been, so many species that disappeared would have basically existed in the twentieth century.
She really envied the people of that period, how good it would be if Blue Star could return to its state at that time.
"It's not extinct, it's extinct. Polar bears will never be seen again, and we, including our children and grandchildren, can only see them through video data, encyclopedias. ”
Xiao Muchen happened to walk around a cave: "Do you dare to go in with me to have a look?" ”
Sang Yu looked behind him, a narrow cave, not deep inside, as if it was a place where wild animals often stayed, and there was a strange fishy smell in the air.
Seeing her hide her nose and disgusted look, Xiao Muchen played tricks on her heart, grabbed her waist, lifted her whole person up and put her into the cave.
"What are you doing?"
is as strong as Sang Yu, and he was also shocked by Xiao Muchen's movements.
She turned around and slapped her in the face.
With a dull sound, her slap landed firmly on Xiao Muchen's shoulder.
Chen Ruoyu outside the cave hurriedly turned his head.
I didn't see it, I didn't see it, I didn't see anything.
Xiao Muchen was not angry, he only grabbed Sang Yu's hand and dragged her in: "You go in with me to take a look, this was originally the cave of the White Polar Bear, and then it died, and this place was occupied by other animals." ”
"Lie to people."
Sang Yu couldn't shake off Xiao Muchen's hands, so he could only push her in: "Polar bears live in glaciers and snow caves, how can it live in the mountains." ”
I don't know if it's because it's too hot, or because someone came to check in advance. The cave is empty, and there are no wild animals.
"It's true."
The two of them walked forward for a dozen steps, and the cave came to an end, and the smell inside became stronger and stronger, so that the sour water came out of Sang Yu's throat.
"Right here."
Xiao Muchen took his foot and clicked on a recessed place: "The last polar bear died here." Do you know how much it weighs after death? ”
"It was an adult polar bear, male, and it was predicted that it weighed more than 600 kilograms, and when it died, it was less than 350 kilograms. When he died, only skin and bones remained. It survives by eating grass roots and insects to the end. ”
Xiao Muchen exhaled a long breath, lifted Meng Sangyu and walked out again, the smell inside was really bad, and he felt a little unbearable.
Sang Yu stood in the wind and retched, and the whole person was smoked as if it stinked a lot.
A bottle of water was handed over, and Sang Yu grabbed it, not forgetting to glare at Xiao Muchen fiercely.
She stinks, her whole body stinks.
One evening, walking around the mountain, did not dissipate the smell of Sangyu's body.
It was just getting dark, and when she arrived at the campsite, the first thing Sang Yu did was to find a water source, she wanted to wash her hair, bath and clothes.
"Miss Meng, there is no water here, the water in the camp, only a few large buckets of drinking water that we brought. And the water source we know is in the canyon over there, and the water quality is not good. When the snow-capped mountains melted, the harmful gases and viruses that were frozen in ice escaped and the water was not allowed to drink directly. ”
The captain in charge of logistics said that he was very embarrassed when he saw Sang Yu coming to ask if there was a water source for bathing.
"Can't you drink it and can't burn it?"
"I can't."
Sang Yu walked back dejectedly, she was so sad that she could smell the stench of her clothes and hair stained in the cave as she walked.
For the sake of convenience, the cooking class only steamed rice, potatoes and roasted meat, and even soup with juice, stirred and stirred to make a meal.
In addition, one person was given two bottles of water to drink and freshen up.
Sang Yu couldn't eat, so she only received two bottles of water that belonged to her.
Two bottles of water are barely enough for her to wash her face and brush her teeth.
In this way, she can't waste it, and she has to save the water she drinks every day.
"Ah......hh Xiao Muchen, I'm going to kick you to death. ”
Xiao Muchen ate and listened to the logistics captain say that Miss Meng came to look for water, bathed and washed her hair, but she couldn't find it. I was very disappointed, and if I didn't even eat dinner, I decided to go to see Sangyu, and as soon as I arrived outside Sangyu's tent, I heard Meng Sangyu scolding him.
He didn't knock on the door, and walked in as soon as he lifted the curtain: "If you kick me to death, no one will be able to find water to bathe and wash your hair." ”
Sang Yu rolled over and glared at him.
She didn't want to pay attention to him, but she had to pay attention to him, because he seemed to be able to find her water to bathe and wash her hair.
"Why are you staring at me, wouldn't it be good for me to take you to see a polar bear?"
"Is that a polar bear? It was a dirty, smelly cave. If it weren't for the fact that I had no grievances with you, I would have doubted that you would have buried me on the spot for my money. ”
"Okay, don't be angry, I'll go get water and give you a bath and wash your hair."
"Really?"
Sang Yu immediately showed a smile on his face: "The logistics captain said that he only brought a few buckets of drinking water, where are you going to get me water?" ”
"I'll steal it for you."
Sang Yu opened his mouth slightly: "Steal, you?" ”
"Hmm."
Xiao Muchen showed a mischievous smile: "Do you want to go with me, the two of us may be able to steal more." That way, I can take a shower with my hands naked. ”
"But ......"
"Don't do it, do you want to take a shower and wash your hair?"
"Yes."
Driven by the desire to take a strong bath and wash his hair, Meng Sangyu really followed Xiao Muchen around to the warehouse.
The base has prepared a total of two warehouses this time, and a total of warehouses are for weapons and shells for this test.
The other warehouse is the materials of the entourage for the past three days. Including dozens of buckets of clean and pure water.
Xiao Muchen took Sang Yu to avoid a few guards and walked to the back of one of the warehouses.
"I've inquired, and this warehouse is for food and drinking water."
Sang Yu didn't say anything, you still have to inquire, you are the supreme commander, you ask a question, others are eager to answer ten sentences.
You said you wanted a bucket of water to bathe, and your men wanted to send you two buckets, and they would bring me to steal them.
I just want to see what the hell you're going to do.
