Chapter 18: The Second Wall
The two consciously approached Sister An, at this time Sister An was planting rice with all her heart, only to see her skillful movements, squatting together like a peasant woman, she was the most promising newcomer in Anhe Hospital.
"Sister An, why are we doing these things?" Jiang Yilang leaned up, he imitated Sister An's movements, but the seedlings in his hand couldn't be inserted, "The soil below is so hard." ”
Sister An came over with one hand, dived under the soil, and directly touched Jiang Yilang's hand: "Fingers should be forced, the soil must be loosened first, and then forced!" ”
"Sister An, you just learned it." Drew smiled at Sister An, "How can a technician do this?" What time is it now? ”
The AI guard seemed to hear someone chatting and threw a blue electric light into the air: "Attention efficiency humans!" There is also a forest in front of it waiting to be cut down and planted. ”
Sister An pulled Jiang Yilang to hide behind the crowd, and she warned: "It's not good for you to be lazy on the first day of coming, no matter who you were before, only labor can survive in the transition corridor." ”
"But who do these AIs serve, are they people in Ju'an City?" Jiang Yilang remained curious, "Even the guys in the city don't need us to farm at all, what can't AI do now?" ”
Sister An finally couldn't listen to Jiang Yilang's words, and grabbed him by the collar: "Pay attention to your environment, newcomer!" The first thing you have to do in the transition corridor is to survive, not to think about it, and to survive, you understand? Without labor there is no food, and without food you only die! ”
"Get out of here, it will affect our labor efficiency!" Several women had very small voices, but they had great strength, and they surrounded Jiang Yilang and directly pushed Jiang Yilang down in the paddy field.
The AI guard heard the noise and came over to scan the inside of the paddy field, she looked at the wet Jiang Yilang and scolded, "Go back to work, damn slave." ”
Jiang Yilang's head and hair were stimulated by the cold field water, and the whole person was almost stunned, he never figured out why people had to work, and they did such basic labor.
"Hehe, it seems pretty good." Drew on the side is very attentive to studying, and has already made a small gain, although the speed is not fast, but the seedlings inserted can still stand up well, "Don't worry about what technicians are not technicians, what is in front of us now is to stay in the transition corridor, or return to the underground abyss, although neither choice is happy." ”
"Whew......" Jiang Yilang let out a long breath and let himself accept the reality, he snatched the seedlings from Drew's hands, and first learned to do it according to the way, when faced with the problem of survival, all other pride can be dispensed with.
This natural environment is very special, the sun is always abundant, the temperature is not too high or too low, and the humidity is kept in the best range for the plants to grow, which makes the body stretch.
A burst of soft music sounded, and the AI Guardian humanely played a distant ballad, which was soft and graceful: "Rest, rest!" ”
"Poof......" Drew stretched and fell directly into the paddy field, "Comfort, I'm just too hungry." ”
Jiang Yilang also sweated profusely, and he looked back and saw that although he was already behind everyone, it was a good attempt.
AI began to distribute steamed bread and biscuits, which are the most basic dry foods of human society, but in the eyes of this group of people living in the transition corridor, they are the best food.
Drew gobbled up food and hadn't eaten anything like this in days.
Jiang Yilang took the steamed bun and sat down by the forest, he looked up at the paddy field and couldn't see the edge at all: "What is the use of these seedlings after they grow, can they supply the entire Ju'an City?" ”
"At least be able to resupply the people in the transitional corridor." Sister An handed over a glass of water, "We exchange our labor for food, and also for all the people in the transition corridor. ”
Jiang Yilang seemed to understand: "But those materials were divided by other groups, and we can only get a little scraps, is this fair?" ”
"At least people outside can't eat what you have now." Sister An pointed to everyone, and the people around her were gobbling up, as if they were full at noon, and the rest of the time didn't matter.
"Okay, Sister An, I understand." Jiang Yilang naturally knew that the labor group was good, he turned around and pointed to a big forest, "What's behind the mountain, is it still a field?" ”
Although Sister An hates newcomers, she is still concerned about this junior brother: "Behind the mountain is still the mountain, and the outside of the soil is still soil." ”
"Is it so big?" Drew also counted on coming in and seeing Ju'an City, "I thought it was Ju'an City inside the Wall of Creation, I thought I would be able to see home this way." ”
Jiang Yilang took a bite of the biscuit fiercely: "What is the end of the mountain and the soil?" ”
"It's another wall." Sister An replied very directly, gesturing with her hands in mid-air, "A wall that is taller than the wall of creation and makes people despair." ”
Drew coughed and patted his chest, almost stuck in the steamed bun: "It's still ...... And a second wall? ”
Sister An chewed slowly, she had long been accustomed to working life: "Heh, I have also heard that there were once people who tried to escape from here but did not succeed, and after coming back, they told others what they had seen. ”
"And what about the inside of the second wall?" Jiang Yilang felt helpless and angry, "It must be Ju'an City over there, why are you blocking us behind so many walls." ”
After a short break, the radio began to play a rousing song, and the tone and soundtrack were full of energy.
Jiang Yilang followed Sister An to continue planting seedlings, and it didn't take long to become proficient: "Sister An, am I doing this right?" ”
"The higher your proficiency, the faster you move, and the more food you can get in exchange for at the end." Sister An encouraged, "In order to play a role in the transition corridor, all kinds of abilities need to be cultivated, remember that this is not for yourself, but for the entire human race." ”
After this afternoon's labor, Jiang Yilang looked at the other side of the mountain with his heart, and he felt that Ju'an City at that end was his home.
And that homeland doesn't seem to need him anymore.
There is no sunrise and sunset in nature between the two walls, and there is no time, there is only the sound of guards, and when the music starts again, people stop moving.
Driverless vehicles came in from both sides of the field, and laborers were pulled to the wall of creation one after another.
"It's finally over." Drew let out a long breath, only when he stopped, he felt the exertion of his body, "I always thought it was afternoon, and this damn sun doesn't allow people to get tired at all." ”
Jiang Yilang followed Sister An into the car, and he looked back at the mountain: "Sister An, when can we go into the mountain to work." ”
"Heh, want to see the second wall?" Sister An knew Jiang Yilang's thoughts, "AI will arrange it for us, we need to plant trees and cut trees to have the opportunity to enter the mountain, but I advise you not to have the idea of escaping." ”
Jiang Yilang is an optimistic person, if it is a desert, it may not be easy to escape, but in the forest it is a different matter.
"Hey, today's harvest is good, such a large cart of supplies." Drew reminded that in the distance, the AI had already delivered food and water to the gate.
"Hmph, do you think these things belong to us entirely?" A young man next to him accosted, "After a day of labor, I have to watch out for those damn camel people when I go back." ”
