Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Sun Is Shining (Part II)

Sunny!

This is a greeting that has gradually become popular among survivors after the cataclysm, and its status is roughly equivalent to "hello" in the past, and its nature is equivalent to "have you eaten", all of which stem from the most urgent needs in life.

In fact, since the cataclysm, the occasional cloud of death has replaced hunger as the number one killer of people's lives.

Therefore, in people's daily life, the urgent thirst for the sun even overwhelmed their desire for food, and the bright sunlight has become the most precious thing in the world.

Because even Lin Xi and the other aliens dare not guarantee 100% that after experiencing the clouds of death again and again, they will definitely be able to see the next sunshine.

Suffice it to say, in these crazy times, the bright sunshine almost represents warmth, safety, and a relatively abundant source of food, a combination of all happiness.

In this sense, the sincerity of the phrase "the sun is shining" is even close to the "all the best" before the cataclysm, which is not only a greeting, a politeness, but also an earnest wish.

According to Xia Qianzhu's introduction, even the army is now slowly beginning to accept this common greeting and take it as the army's slogan and goal.

For example, now before every expedition, the soldiers will gather together and shout "the sun is shining" to boost morale, and the command of the army has also written this sentence into the combat regulations in accordance with the will of the people, and has taken "expelling the clouds and restoring the sunshine" as the highest strategic goal of the military and even all mankind at present.

So far, though, their researchers don't even have the slightest clue what that cloud-obscuring cloud is or how it appeared.

"Hey, it seems that in the month that we have been separated from society, the surviving humans have also begun to slowly and spontaneously form a unique culture after the disaster."

Lin Xi smiled and said to Wu Qiuli, "Do you know? After hearing this, I was suddenly full of hope for the future of mankind! The temporary disadvantage is not terrible, the real terrible is that a race has completely lost hope and lost the spirit to make a comeback, just like the Indians in the past, who were directly frightened by the muskets and plagues of the Spaniards, otherwise the Inca civilization would not have perished so easily. ”

When Wu Qiuli heard this, she also pursed her lips and smiled, and teased, "I didn't know before, it turns out that you are so good at sociology and world history, it's really disrespectful." ”

"Uh, hahaha, I'll just talk about it casually, casually say it, I'm also a college student."

Lin Xi was teased by Wu Qiuli like this, his face suddenly turned red, and he hurriedly looked up to the sky and haha, fooling the past.

After speaking, the two looked at each other again, and then turned their heads together, carefully looking at the humanities and customs of the survivors in this famous landscape garden.

I have to say that with the protection of the army, the survivors here are like finding the backbone, and the whole mental outlook is very different from the survivors who are "wild and free-range" outside, although it is not how peaceful and contentment, but at least it is no longer precarious, law, order, security, morality, these things that have fallen apart under the cloud of death, the people here, have also been refounded, and once again see the embryonic shape.

Suddenly, Wu Qiuli let out a cheer of surprise, "Huh? Look, there's still a seller there! ”

Lin Xi hurriedly followed the prestige, and sure enough, he saw that on the side of the street where the car was passing, there was really a small stall vendor selling all kinds of goods.

If it was before the cataclysm, this kind of street vendor who occupied the road would definitely be blasted out by the security guards in the villa area, and maybe they would be beaten up and sent to the bureau, but now, this kind of commercial behavior, which was very common in the past and has been completely extinct after the end of the world, has added a bit of life to this last pure land of mankind.

"Oh, they're not selling, they're bartering."

Xia Qianzhu glanced at it, turned his head and explained, "It hasn't been long since the troops recovered here, and they haven't had time to establish a reliable currency system, and most of the materials can only be rationed according to work. ”

"Haha."

Lin Xi smiled, and glanced back at Wu Qiuli and Little Apple, "When you settle down, I'll take you shopping." ”

"Yay!"

When the two beauties heard this, they immediately hugged each other and cheered.

And Lin Xi also let them be happy on the side, while he squinted his eyes and looked at everything else in this villa area.

Don't say it, after watching it for a while, it really made him see a little way, not to mention anything else, at least he can say with certainty that the words he said to mock the giant should have been wrong, at least half of it was wrong.

The military's choice of this area as a recovery target is certainly related to the fact that the owners here are rich and noble, but there should also be difficulties and safety considerations:

First of all, the overall topography of this rich area presents a basin terrain, the villa area is built around the basin, and the park next to it is a low mountain, close to the edge of the basin, with a good view, although it looks like a lush forest from a distance, but whether it is Lin Xi's nose or his ears, it tells him that there are no large predators on that mountain, but it is filled with a strong smell of diesel, in other words, it should be completely under the control of the military, and from the top of the mountain, the view is excellent, The soldiers are able to guard and control the entire area in the vicinity;

Secondly, the residential characteristics of the villa area are also destined to be far less dense than the urban area during the cataclysm, in fact, many elites only use the villa as a place to live in seclusion during the holiday, and usually live in their own urban housing, so when the cataclysm occurs, many villas in this community are actually vacant, even if there are people, it is just a large villa scattered with a few zombies, which can be easily cleaned up, which also provides a good prerequisite for the army to control this area, This is undoubtedly good news for the army that has experienced the cataclysm and has suffered a great loss of strength;

Finally, as the most high-end residential area in Star City, the supporting infrastructure construction next to the Shanshui Famous Garden is definitely top-notch, with hospitals, restaurants, supermarkets, etc., which can provide enough materials, food, medicine and medical equipment for the rule of the army, and become the most powerful pillar of military control.

To sum up the above points, even if Lin Xi has a lot of resentment in his heart, he has to admit that capturing and transforming the famous landscape garden is indeed a good move taken by the military leadership, on the contrary, if they insist on rescuing the refugees in the city, then it is likely that the entire army has already been wiped out, in that case, maybe even this last pure land will not exist.

"Alas, after meeting with the person in charge here, let's decide the next step depending on the situation, I hope to find my parents as soon as possible."

Lin Xi turned his head to look at the two girls next to him who were still immersed in joy, and a trace of reluctance flashed in his heart, thinking, "I just don't know if they are willing to go with me." ”

As if she had a heart, just when Lin Xi's eyes fell on Wu Qiuli, the girl also raised her head at the same time, looking at him with a pair of bright eyes, "Huh? What happened to you? Why does your face look so ugly? It stands to reason that your body shouldn't get sick now, right? ”

As she spoke, she was about to reach out and touch Lin Xi's forehead.

However, just when the pair of soft wattles was about to land on Lin Xi's forehead, the business car under them suddenly stopped.

Then, a polite knock sounded on the windowpane:

"Bang Bang, Bang ......"
