At a quarter past seven in the morning, Ryan sat in his preferred residence in District 3 and had breakfast.

A coarse-grained pie, a dirty green drink, a white protein lump like something. Ryan picked up the knife and fork and gently tore the white thing apart, and the filaments like muscle fibers broke apart from the fracture - if this was synthetic, it would be too realistic, right?

He put the fiber in his mouth, and it was really a protein taste, and when he tasted it carefully, there was a delicious taste...... This can't be a real chicken breast, right? He took a sip of the drink, the liquid was cool and cold across his tongue, and then ...... Ryan clutched his throat and grinned, like a man going through great grief.

Ryan forced himself to swallow the liquid, and reason told him that it should be squeezed by natural plants, and if it was an artificial drink, who would be full enough to adjust such a bad taste.

Ryan stuffed the cereal cake into his mouth to relieve the sourness in his mouth, the texture of the cake was dry and hard, the grains were coarse, and it could be chewed and chewed, but there was a fragrance overflowing the mouth, faint, simple, like the earth, like the sun, hey, this is good. Ryan chewed the cereal cake with a rattle, and drank a few sips of the drink because it was too dry, and strangely enough, the two were much better together, and the sourness of the drink was neutralized by the pure aroma of the grain, but showed a refreshing taste.

It's been a few days since he moved to the Preferred Zone, and Ryan is still impressed by the excellent food here.

Next to the restaurant is a large floor-to-ceiling window, and the courtyard of the residence is outside, although it is not large, but it is a great pleasure to see the green up close.

This is a separate residence with two floors, the lower floor is the activity area and dining room kitchen, the upper floor is two bedrooms, one is the couple's bedroom, and the other is supposed to be for the future baby, which is a dream mansion compared to the single residence he originally lived in District 2.

Ryan raised his hand to open the screen on the wall of the restaurant, wanting to see the news, only to see a special report on Ark TV:

The screen is an endless desert, the wind blows, the dust is filled, and several people with tightly wrapped and hooded heads loom in the dust. The voice-over broadcast reported: "It's the annual test day again, and after testing, the oxygen content in the atmosphere outside the cabin is about 21% of that in the cabin, the sulfide content still exceeds the standard, and the radiation index is still far beyond the range that the human body can tolerate......

Ryan watched while eating breakfast, without any expression during the whole process, and after eating, he lowered his head and picked up his plate and walked towards the kitchen.

On the day of the test, if you hadn't seen it by chance, you would have forgotten it. If there was hope, it is now numb. If I remember correctly, last year's test data is almost the same as this year's, and if you push forward five, ten, or twenty years, it's almost the same. The frequency of the detection has also changed from the original monthly test to the current annual test, and then it will be tested every three or five years.

The earth's environment may be improving, but this improvement can not be measured in terms of the time unit of human beings, a small creature. It took billions of years for the earth to give birth to life, but now I fantasize about witnessing this process repeatedly.

Ryan washes the plates, puts them into the port, and the conveyor belt kicks in to collect the plates. Although there is no rule that it must be cleaned, Ryan feels that it would be rude not to wash it.

The room has been quietly cleaned by a cleaning robot, and all the items have been returned to their places, looking dusty and untidy, and the display on the wall shows the constant temperature, humidity and air quality in the room. Ryan opened the door and stepped into his little garden.

It is said to be a small garden, but there is not a single flower. The ground is planted with grass commonly known as large-leaved grass, which is said to be a new breed cultivated by the Authority, and it is said to increase oxygen supply. Ryan sat down on a chair in the garden, today was a day off, a day off every seven days.

Ryan looked at the green grass, and saw that the small plants grew neatly, even tall, short, fat and thin, a piece of green and linen, and Ryan couldn't help but praise the excellent work of the gardening department in his heart.

Suddenly, Ryan saw a thin piece of grass stand up from the round leaves. Ryan walked over and leaned down, only to see that its stem was slender and long, which allowed it to emerge from the dense leaves of the large-leaved grass and stretch its two leaves out into the sunlight.

Ryan frowned and reached out to pluck it away.

I really can't figure it out, it is very difficult to cultivate a good variety of large-leaved grass, but this weed cannot be eliminated.

After sitting for a while, Ryan entered the house and went to the second floor. Seeing that the housekeeping robot on the second floor had finished cleaning up the master bedroom, he came to the small room. It is now used by him as a study. Beneath his desk sat his small suitcase, the only piece of luggage he had brought with him when he moved in a few days ago. In this ark where uniforms, food and even shelter are all uniformly supplied, all personal data is stored in the cloud, connected to the bracelet, and there is really no need for personal belongings.

There were several pieces of personal clothing in the box, a photo frame with a four-person photo of him with Mei Li, Yu Xiang and Vincent, and a notebook. The notebook looks like an old prehistoric object — no one now writes with it except for a collection — made of restored paper, with a tough and old cover, and the title page reads in handwritten font: To Ryan. There is no signature.

For as long as I can remember, this book has been by Ryan's side. Ryan thinks that maybe this is what his parents left him. If there really are two people in this world.

Ryan swayed downstairs again, lying down on the large couch and looking up at the ceiling. If it was before, on such a rest day, with the four of them, how could they be so lonely.

They are probably playing flying ball again, go to the flying field in District 2, he and Vincent are on the first team, Mei Li and Yuxiang are on the first team, their team has the advantage in physical strength, but Mei Yu's skills and cooperation are seamless, not to mention that Yuxiang's kid is as light as a swallow, and the height of his jump is unmatched. As a result, they always played very closely, and there was no result until the time of the rent was about to expire.

However, in the end, it is always when everyone's physical strength is almost exhausted that it is up to him to break the deadlock. He still remembers waiting for Vincent to send a good shot, and then he would use his last explosive power to jump high and smash the ball vigorously, which the exhausted Mei Yu and his wife could not catch anyway, and the high-speed spinning ball would smash a small hole in the court and then ricochet away, and the game was over. Although Mei Li would always complain angrily that it was the direction of the wind or something, no one would pay attention to her chatter, because she could finally rest.

Then they'll head to the club in Zone 2 for a big cold drink and a limited dessert with calories. They always sent him to buy it, because he was handsome and sweet, and the dessert he gave them could be cut bigger......

Ryan lay on the couch and couldn't help but laugh.

"Ryan." The electronic sound of the bracelet resounded in the room.

"What?" Ryan had a little dissatisfaction in his voice, "Didn't I tell you, don't keep using your voice if it's okay." ”

"Excuse me, did I bother you?"

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

"It's time to exercise, and if you're okay right now, it's recommended to complete today's exercise plan."

"Who says I'm okay right now?"

The bracelet stopped talking. Presumably, it took this answer as "no".

After continuing to empty for a while, Ryan stood up boredly and stretched his waist, "Okay, you say exercise is exercise, it's okay anyway." ”

Ryan went to the activity area in the corner of the living room, changed into the gym uniform and shoes placed there, woke up the electronic screen in front of him, and put his feet on the sensing ground.

"Are you ready, Ryan?" The words of the bracelet are displayed on the screen in front of it. Now it's shut up.

Ryan gestured with an "OK".

"Preferred People Fitness Program, First Item, 3, 2, 1, Go!"

……

An hour later, Ryan was lying on the ground in a large pattern, soaking wet and his chest heaving, "Man...... Do you want to be so brutal? ”

"Ryan, the preferred human, has certain physical fitness requirements."

"You're not upset and want to take revenge on me, are you?"

"Zoe doesn't get upset and doesn't have a revenge feature."

Ryan walked into the bathroom. The warm water hit his body, and Ryan felt much better. Although exercise is very tiring, I can always feel the relief of dopamine at this time after exercise.

After all, there's not much fun to be found in this translucent giant enclosed cabin.

Ryan turned off the water, wiped the water droplets from the mirror-like wall in front of him, and saw his clean chin, broad chest, and strong abs. The corners of my lips are slightly upturned, and I wonder if it is to enhance the self-confidence and self-satisfaction of the preferred person, so the wall in front of the bathroom is designed as a mirror.

On a whim, Ryan grabbed the bars on the walls on either side of the bathroom, propped himself up, and lifted his legs straight forward to make an aerial crossbrace.
