Doomsday Fast Travel: Kill That Black Butterfly

Chapter 5 The pain of difficulty breathing (5)

"You have a lot of planting experiments here." Yu Di tilted his head and said.

"Yes, we tried." Yan Yugang was about to answer, but suddenly realized, "I haven't asked who you are yet! The surface has been acidified for several years, and no known plant can survive in the surface soil. What are you doing?" Where did you find this? Also, the institute you mentioned has been closed long ago, I don’t remember your surname being on the expulsion list.”

Realizing that he seems to have talked too much, Yan Yu pursed his lips and leaned on the table, staring at Yu Di with burning eyes.

"Didn't I say it, in the wild grave."

Yan Yu frowned: "How deep is the grave?"

"Half a meter."

"Impossible!" Yan Yu said, "This thickness of soil"

Yu Di interrupted: "Why do you conclude that there will be no living things on the surface?"

"This is common sense. Moreover, we have dozens of test data showing that only a small number of types of microorganisms can metabolize normally under the current acidity. They all exist in the form of single cells and cannot reproduce in large numbers unless we develop new species. , otherwise there would be no living things on the surface."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Yu Di suspiciously: "You won't be the one who got fresh plants from some kind of channel and used them to lie to me? What's your purpose?"

Yu Di froze for a moment, brother, I know who you are?Isn't that the business card you handed me?I thought the first world mission was relatively simple, so you jumped out of it out of nowhere!
Seeing that Yu Di was stunned and did not speak, Yan Yu thought he had guessed right, glared at Yu Di angrily, took out a small thing that looked like a walkie-talkie from his pocket, and called the guards.

"Wait a minute." Yu Di grabbed his wrist, trying to reason with him.

Yan Yu thought that Yu Di was going to do something to her, so she screamed in fright and ran to the door, and even tapped the emergency blockade button.

"Hey! Don't run away!" Yu Di was locked in the laboratory, speechless looking at Yan Yu, who was pale.She shouldn't have had any "simple" ideas about tasks.

The laboratory belongs to the sensitive area of ​​the dungeon, and the guards came very quickly. Because of Yan Yu's emergency blockade, the chief director of the laboratory, the person in charge of this floor, was alarmed.

Holding the idea that "anyway, as long as they have the chance to survive on the surface, the social order will not disintegrate, and the civilization of this world will not be extinct", Yu Di simply confided all her speculations to the person in charge people.The person in charge is an old man in his 60s. After listening to her explanation, he didn't express any opinion, but he didn't let Yu Di go back to the dormitory either.

He ordered Yan Yu to "look after" Yu Di, and went into the office by himself, and didn't come out all night.

Yu Di was too lazy to talk to Yan Yu, lying on the sofa that could eat people, and communicated with the system in her mind.

"Well, I have completed the task, right?"

"It still has to be me. I just dug out the key things."

"Let the rest of the matter be left to their scientists, right? I don't need to stay here any longer, right?"

"Are you squeaking? Hello? Hello? Are you there?"

The system finally couldn't take it anymore, and broadcast a real-time video into Yu Di's mind—it was actually the monitoring of the laboratory director's office.Yu Di's eyes were lost for a moment, and he looked carefully at the picture played in his mind.

After a while, Yu Di jumped up angrily: "What? Why did you have to close the city in advance?!"

Yan Yu had been sizing up Yu Di silently, but felt something was wrong when she suddenly stared straight at the ceiling.Yu Di jumped up and shouted that she completely turned herself into a representative of mental illness in Yan Yu's heart.

Yu Di ran over and grabbed Yan Yu by the collar: "Take me to see your director!"

Yan Yu shrank back desperately: "Okay, okay, let me go, I'll take you there."

Before the words fell, Yu Di only felt a pain in his waist, and then his body became uncontrollable. He fell back, hit the back of his head on the edge of the table, and then fell to the ground with a bang. Pain, Yu Di felt that his vision seemed a little blurred, and his body was a little cold.
Yan Yu put away the stun gun, kicked Yu Di's leg cautiously, looked at Yu Di's staring eyes, and tremblingly called for the guards to come over.

In the sea of ​​consciousness, Yu Di hammered the empty space incompetently and furiously, cracking his mouth and revealing the fragrance - anyway, there are no other people here, and no quality is needed.

"No, death is death, why did the mission fail? Huh?"

The system silently sent her the second distress message from this world.

After Yu Di's accidental death, the plant samples she brought did not cause any disturbance.As Cheng Die said, in order to ensure the stability of the dungeon system, they kept related experiments as a top secret, trying to find the gene that can metabolize strong acid in this plant, and implanted it into other types of seeds that grow fast and have a short growth period .

But if they can persevere, there will be no second distress message.

When the results of the experiment came out, the dungeon had already formed an inherent hierarchy of residents, and this kind of hierarchical differentiation could only be established in such a closed environment where survival resources were extremely scarce.Once people are back on the ground.
So before the riots came, the management split first.

Because the survival of human beings has always relied on the materials produced by microbial factories, things like plants have become almost legendary existences, similar to "my grandma told me that they saw trees when they were young", so when advocates organize advance When the purifiers of the residents went to the surface to "plant trees" and ventured to spread the news that "acid soil can be purified", many people were skeptical.

There are three main persons in charge of the dungeon, two of whom tend to be purists, and the other has an unclear attitude.They passed the Purifications' long-term plan to openly recruit advance residents in the city.The first two days were okay, but I didn't expect that from the third day, not only no one joined, but those who signed up first canceled their registration one after another.The person in charge of the purification plan was puzzled when he was suddenly hit on the head with nutrition cakes at the recruitment office.

She called the guards to arrest the man, but the man kept yelling at her for disregarding human life.This is a big hat. The person in charge hurriedly called several colleagues and asked the people below. A rumor has spread from somewhere in the past few days, saying that in order to reduce the population pressure of the underground city, the coalition government will Trick the residents into leaving.

Ordinary residents don’t know it, but their management does. The dungeon is designed to last 30 people for 100 years. Now the total population is less than 10, and the average age is still decreasing year by year. Such absurd rumors are spread underground Intensified under the operation of the Purification Faction, the residents who had been suppressed for a long time continued to pour out their anger on the Purification Faction under the instigation of the underground faction. Soon, the two head dungeon chiefs of the Purification Faction resigned.

The cleansing plan was put on hold indefinitely, like a dying bounce, and the world went back to its old ways.

Yu Di clenched her fists, wishing to give these people a punch.She searched for Cheng Die's figure in countless images, and found that she was trying to betray the dungeon back to the ground with a blue dragon, and then died tragically of bullets. On the ground, stepped on by the crisis intervention team.

All belongings of the two were confiscated, and their deaths were also regarded as a negative case in the psychological clinic of the underground city, calling on managers to pay attention to the mental health of residents.

Yu Di closed her eyes and asked the system: "Do I have another chance?"

The system finally gave a voice—"One time."

"Send me there."

The familiar weightlessness came, and with a hum, Yu Di lay down again in the grave she had climbed out of.

She took out the dirty mask and put it on her face. After thinking for a long time, she reached out and smashed open the grave.

"You can't count on it, I will come by myself."
