Chapter IX Meetings

"Come, Xiaoguang eat!"

My father, who usually eats in his room, was also carried to the table today, and his brother was smiling and nodding at him while serving food.

"Brother, today... What's wrong?" Zhao Guang felt a little uneasy about this sumptuous dinner.

Looking at his younger brother's thin and yellow face, which suddenly became apprehensive and cautious, Zhao Yang couldn't help but feel a little distressed and a little sad, put down the bowl in his hand, and beckoned: "Come and eat, my brother made a lot of money today, and our family won't have to eat mixed vegetable porridge every day in the future!"

"Really!" Hearing this, Zhao Guang's face instantly burst into brilliance, and he sat over happily.

It's just that Zhao Yang can see that Zhao Guang has two more bruises on his face, but there are no in the morning.

"What's the matter? this is?" Zhao Yang frowned.

Seeing his brother staring at his face, Zhao Guang hesitated twice, and finally said with a smile: "It's nothing, I saw a nest of thick leafy vegetables, and someone wanted to rob me!"

Zhao Yang nodded, handed over a bowl of rice, and said, "Okay, let's get ready to eat, next time... Don't rob anyone next time, we won't lack this in the future!"

"Hmm!" Zhao Guang nodded vigorously.

After a warm and rich dinner, when it was getting dark, Zhao Yang strode towards the inner city.

The University of Johor Bahru is established within the inner city.

Formerly a senior high school in the old city, the building quality is quite reliable, and the loss in the cataclysm was not too great, and when the government was preparing to build the University of Johor Bahru three years ago, it was directly used to transform it into the current university.

Although it is not even comparable to any university before the cataclysm in every way, it is more than enough space for the University of New Bahru, which is still only a thousand students.

With plenty of classrooms and dormitories, a few basketball courts, a small soccer field, and even a library, plus electricity and water and relatively cheap room and board, it's a paradise for the whole city of Johor Bahru, which is still struggling to survive.

Zhao Yang's house is not too far from the inner city, after walking for about a quarter of an hour, he arrived at the inner city, and the inner city guards are as strict as ever, even Zhao Yang's school uniform cannot replace his student ID.

After stepping into the inner city, Zhao Yang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The high walls of iron fences and concrete boulders, as well as the fifteen-meter-wide separation zone in between, completely divide the inner city and the outer city into two worlds, and the air in the inner city is fresh, without the increasingly dull smell of the outer city.

The houses are orderly, the streets are wide and clean, and apart from the quietness and dilapidated houses, they seem to be the same as the pre-cataclysmic world.

A dozen bicycles and scattered pedestrians make the four-lane street look unusually empty, and only the occasional electric car or two with the sound of "hissing" electricity passing by makes the street a little more lively.

Glancing at the red flag flying high in front of the majestic building not far away, and the slightly lower green Xinshan City flag next to it, which was marked by mountains and pigeons, Zhao Yang looked at the complex and gently bowed his head, and then turned to a road on the left.

The road on the left is a little narrower, and the two-lane road is dotted with the shouts of young people and a few bicycles writhing along the road.

Zhao Yang quietly walked alone in the shadows next to him, completely different from the lively crowd next to him, until he saw one of them, Zhao Yang's eyes lit up slightly, and he strode over.

"Yang Chang!"

Hearing the shouting, a young man who was playing with people on a bicycle stopped the car, and saw Zhao Yang, who came over, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and said, "Buy medicine?"

"Yes, I'm going to trouble you again!" Zhao Yang walked over with a smile and said, "I heard that your father hunted a second-level alien beast this time, it's really amazing!"

Hearing this, Yang Chang, who was originally a little indifferent, immediately smiled brightly, and raised his head and said, "Of course, he is my father!"

"Tell me, how much medicine do you want to buy?"

Zhao Yang stretched out his hand and took out three hundred and fifty yuan and handed it over, saying, "Please help me buy five copies first!"

"Okay, I'll have someone bring it for you tomorrow!" Although he didn't buy much, Yang Chang was in a good mood and agreed neatly.

Zhao Yang also breathed a sigh of relief, and after thanking him seriously, he strode towards the school.

The relationship between Yang Chang and the pioneer team to buy medicine is almost two and a half percent cheaper than buying it in an outside pharmacy; although Yang Chang will definitely make a profit from the middle, it can be less than two and a half percent, for Zhao Yang, this is not a little bit of savings in the long run.

Back in the dormitory, looking at the bright lights in the dormitory, Zhao Yang still couldn't help but sigh, this is the inner city, this is the only place where you can have the same life as before the cataclysm!

"Zhao Yang, you're back!"

Luo Xun was sitting in the bedroom reading a book, and when he saw Zhao Yang come in, he said hello with a smile and said.

"Well, it's back!"

Looking at the "New Edition of Chinese Materia Medica" in Luo Xun's hand, Zhao Yang smiled and said, "Work so hard?"

"No way, tomorrow is Professor Li's class, and the results of the last test will come down soon; those who don't do well in the test will definitely be arrested and ask questions!"

Luo Xun sighed, looked at the simple illustration above, scratched his head with a headache, and said, "I didn't do much in the exam, you see that this flea Xiu looks like ginseng, how can you tell the difference?"

Zhao Yang hesitated for a moment, and said with a dry smile: "Who said the same, there must be a difference, okay, the book is clearly written, take a closer look!"

"Plainly....... Who's going to make it clear...... I have a headache when I look at it!"

Luo Xun dropped the book in his hand, stretched out his hand to rub his temples, looked at Zhao Yang, and said, "How did you do in the exam?"

"Ahh Ha, what do you say!" Zhao Yang laughed dryly, took off his shoes, and climbed into bed.

"You didn't do well in the exam, you still pretend to be like this?!" Luo Xun scolded with a smile: "Lao Li scolded people, but let people have no skin and no face, I don't want to stand and listen to the class tomorrow!"

"Got it, read the book!" Zhao Yang turned out the Chinese medicine from the bedside and shook his head helplessly.

There is no way, the current curriculum is quite tight, and most of the students in the outer city who can't even eat enough are basically difficult to fight for the children in the inner city in terms of study.

Luo Xun threw away the book in his hand, leaned back on the chair, looked up at the ceiling and sighed, and said: "Now basically all industries have been destroyed, and even the treatment of diseases can only rely on Chinese herbal medicine, and I don't know how many years it will take to recover to before!"

"It shouldn't be too long!"

Zhao Yang flipped through the book, thought for a while, and said: "Although basically most of the industry and technology have been destroyed by floods and earthquakes, and even the hard disk has been burned by electromagnetic storms, at least there are still a lot of paper books left;

"I really hope to recover soon!" Luo Xun carefully took off the glasses wrapped in yellowing tape and wiped them with a soft cloth, hoping to be authentic.

"Yes, I really wish I could ...... soon," Zhao Yang also muttered.

At 9 p.m., the other two dormitories returned to their dormitories before the lights went out, and the lights in the inner city gradually went out, and the whole city of Johor Bahru almost fell silent.

And in the mountains and forests beyond the city walls, which are several meters high, as in the past, the sound of tigers roaring and wolf howls gradually rises......

Some herbivorous animals began to try to sneak into human farms that were no longer noisy, and some predators also approached here one after another to take advantage of the opportunity to hunt.

Only a heavily guarded internal meeting room in the council building in the heart of Johor Bahru is still brightly lit.

The conference room is not too big, the red flag and the green city flag are separated on both sides of the conference room, and in front of the oval conference table, six people sit around the main and secondary, and the atmosphere is slightly serious.

"Evil spirit incident, since a month ago, there have been five cases in Beicheng, three people injured and four people killed; three days ago, Nancheng also began to appear, and there have been two cases in the past three days, two people were injured and one person died!"

A young man who looked to be in his thirties, wearing a handsome black uniform and extremely bright eyes, said in a deep voice: "After the police investigation and handling are fruitless, it will be handed over to my city guards!"

"After investigation, it is indeed an abnormal evil spirit, most of which is caused by long-standing grievances and special harsh environmental factors, and now the aura between heaven and earth has increased and the environment is abnormal, and it is not strange that this kind of evil spirit appears, but it is not completely ruled out that human inducing factors are not completely ruled out. ”

"The guards and controllers sent by the city guards have all been dealt with, and I have arranged for the Mandate of Heaven to join the patrol to minimize similar situations!"

The old man on the main seat nodded slowly, looked at the half-bald middle-aged man on the left who was writing something in his notebook, and said, "Now the outside world is in a bad situation, and a large number of people have been transferred to the city, which has caused the environment in the city to deteriorate. Government departments should make more efforts, and at the same time, they should ask the police to increase law and order and minimize unfavorable factors!"

After that, he turned to another person and said: "The Resources Committee should also make adjustments, and the relevant resources should be appropriately tilted towards civil affairs, so that the government departments can provide as much assistance as possible to the people at the bottom!!"

The two named looked at each other and nodded slowly, rarely without passing the buck to each other, which they could no longer stay out of due to the rapid increase in the population of the city.

The old man marked it on his notebook, looked at everyone, and said, "Are there any other issues?"

"Now the mountains and forests are becoming more and more dangerous, and the casualties of our pioneer team have increased by half a percent compared to last month in the past month;

A middle-aged man with a resolute face and a calm breath sitting at the head of the right looked at everyone, and then looked at the old man sitting in the first place, and said in a deep voice: "I also ask the speaker and the members to consider the current needs of our pioneer team, carefully consider and approve this proposal!"
