Doomsday Paradise

Chapter 35 Is it really an ideal hometown?
Watching Sister Li and Lu Ze walk into the gate of the factory, Lin Sanjiu was left alone in the driver's seat of the truck.The doors were locked and the windows were firmly shut.Next to the truck were people, men and women, chatting in twos and threes.They looked so comfortable, as if they didn't have to struggle to get through every day, and even reminded people of what the world looked like before the apocalypse... Many people even nodded and smiled at her when they met her gaze.

A young mother pushed a stroller past her truck, and the one-year-old fat white child pointed at her and babbled something.

Even though she carefully sent Lu Ze down to investigate the situation, she couldn't help slackening her shoulders when she saw this scene.

Mather asked worriedly on the walkie-talkie, "He went with Sister Li alone, is it alright?"

Among the three, only Lu Ze is the most suitable to go out.If something really happened, with his deforming ability, he would be able to come back smoothly as long as there was a gap - but before Lin Sanjiu could respond, Lu Ze himself laughed on the walkie-talkie: "Don't worry, they are here. The people look good."

Vaguely beside her, Sister Li said something.

Lin Sanjiu sighed.She was worried about the supplies in the car.

Although she believes that humans do have many noble emotions, she shelters all exiled humans without asking for anything in return... How is this possible?Not to mention the intention, does "Oasis" have this ability?
No matter how you think about it, I think they will require everyone to hand in all the materials and then distribute them uniformly-this is reasonable, and she will do the same if she is the manager of the oasis.

"Little wine, Mather, they are very big here... They seem to have opened up half of the factory area behind the mountain. Ah, this is... why are they lining up?" Lu Ze's voice suddenly became very surprised.

"This is the cafeteria." Sister Li approached the walkie-talkie, and seemed to want the other two to listen: "Every day at six o'clock in the morning and nine o'clock in the evening, we serve a meal in the cafeteria. Now is the time. These are people who haven't had breakfast yet."

Before Lin Sanjiu came back to his senses, there was a murmur from Lu Ze's side, followed by his surprised tone: "Xiaojiu, their breakfast is millet porridge, roasted corn, and a plate of mustard. Quite a lot..."

"You should check out our dinners - everyone is the standard for one dish, one meat and one rice!"

"This... how is that possible? With such a high temperature, how can there be any leftover vegetables and meat? Besides, how much water does it take to cook so much food!" Lu Ze asked incredulously—he said, It was exactly what Lin Sanjiu and Mather thought.

"Didn't you also see our grilled corn? Don't worry, we have as many vegetables and meat as we want, and don't worry about water. You haven't joined it yet, so I can't say too much according to the regulations. As a member of Oasis, you will naturally know."

After being taken aback, Lin Sanjiu's curiosity became higher and higher - but she believed that what Sister Li said was true.

Just look at these people outside the car: they are all full of energy, their skin is moist, their lips and nails are all pink... Although Lin Sanjiu and the others are not worried about eating and drinking, they only have food in bags after all. There is no nutritional value. Eating is just to fill the stomach and gain calories. Compared with the people in the oasis, it is really a dish.

Just when she was staring at the Oasis members in a daze, Lu Ze spoke on the walkie-talkie, his voice was a bit intermittent: "Sister Li... My walkie-talkie range is over. I'll... discuss..."

Hearing this, he was probably coming back soon—Lin Sanjiu turned his attention to the factory door, and sure enough, after a while, Lu Ze's figure ran out excitedly, followed by Sister Li and an unknown man.

The group came to the convoy, Lu Ze knocked on the door, and Lin Sanjiu opened the window.

"I can't believe it!" Lu Ze's rabbit teeth gleamed in the fierce sunlight in the morning: "It's amazing! There are photovoltaic generators here, and there is power supply. The upstairs is covered with reflective cloth, and there is a built in the back. There is a large temperature-isolated shading greenhouse, and it is much cooler when you walk in!"

Lin Sanjiu nodded and looked at Sister Li and the strange man behind him.

"Let me introduce you," Sister Li said, pointing to the sturdy, short man. "This is my leader. He heard that a newcomer was looking for him, and he was very concerned. Come and check the situation."

……lead?
"Hello, my name is Chen Jinfeng, and I'm a first-level cadre of the Oasis Eighth Group." The man known as the leader smiled arrogantly and said, "It's great to see another compatriot who has survived."

"It's a pleasure meeting..." Lin Sanjiu once again didn't know what to say.The atmosphere in the oasis was so different from the environment she had been in for the past month, which made her feel a strange sense of dislocation. "Wait a minute, I'll call Mather too, we can get out of the car and talk together."

After receiving the news, Marce locked the bus door and trotted over.Her fluffy red hair looked very dazzling in the sun, Chen Jinfeng glanced at it, and immediately froze for a moment, then said with a smile: "Oh, I didn't expect to have foreign friends! In this world, everyone is compatriots!" Saying, He reached out and shook hands with Mather.

Lin Sanjiu also got out of the car and stood side by side with Mather.

"Then, let me tell you something briefly." Chen Jinfeng waved his hands boldly, and said, "The reason why the oasis was able to save the lives of more than 800 people is thanks to Professor Bai's awareness of something wrong—you still Remember the high temperature period of more than 100 days? Professor Bai has carried out an experimental project of crop research since a long time ago... Now it has achieved great success. Now the crops in our oasis, under the stimulation, grow The cycle has been shortened to 30 days, and it can withstand high temperatures!"

Seeing the incredible shocked expressions on the faces of the three, Sister Li added with a smile, "The roasted corn that Xiao Lu saw today is one of our crops."

"But... how is that possible? And the temperature during the day, even plastic will melt!" Marce covered her mouth and exclaimed - no matter what, this sounds incredible.

"We built a low-temperature greenhouse to cultivate crops." Chen Jinfeng smiled.He looked at the appearance of the three people, and his tone was very euphemistic: "You have been living in the outside world, you have never seen the collective ability, it is normal to not understand it for a while. What Xiao Lu saw just now is just a drop in the bucket of the oasis, what we can do There is so much more!"

As he spoke, he was a little excited: "I know that the current human situation is too difficult. But let's look at the history of human beings - from the Great Flood, the Black Death, the Spanish Flu... Which time is not the annihilation of human beings? Haven't we survived too? This time is the same! We are looking for hope in the predicament, looking for a way out, and rescuing our compatriots... Everything we do is for future generations. After thousands of years, future generations will mention us When we meet, we will always say that the oasis is the seed of human fire!"

His eyes were bright and his tone was full of passion.Because of the high mood, the skin was faintly red.It can be seen that Chen Jinfeng truly believes in the oasis and the future of mankind - compared with this kind of righteousness, Lin Sanjiu is almost ashamed of his speech: "That...I want to ask...if If you join, our own materials... What are you going to do with it?"

Sister Li glanced at her immediately.

Chen Jinfeng chuckled, "Young people have concerns, but it's actually a good thing, which means they've thought well. You can rest assured that there are enough supplies in the oasis for everyone to live, and they won't forcefully take anything from anyone. It's okay to keep the supplies by yourself. It’s okay to hand it in, it’s okay to make a deal with others... In short, yours is still yours.”

This time, Lin Sanjiu was really surprised.

There are already more than 800 people in the oasis. Before them, there must have been people who brought their own supplies—but looking at the peaceful appearance, no one seems to have caused trouble because of this.

Mather asked Chen Jinfeng a few more questions, and Chen Jinfeng answered them patiently one by one.What makes people feel good is that, except for some necessary daily work, Oasis members can freely spend all their time and have a high degree of freedom.

Speaking of this, Sister Li smiled embarrassedly: "This group of young people likes to stay here and wait for passers-by when they have nothing to do... Play such loud music, one is to welcome you, and the other is that their young people like to play; Because there are no such disgusting things around here, they all told us to clean them up."

Lu Ze and Mather looked at each other, and at the same time turned their attention to Lin Sanjiu.

"Little wine...what do you think? Shall we—join the oasis?" Mather asked softly. "It doesn't matter to us either."

Lin Sanjiu bit his lip and didn't say a word, secretly complaining that his "sharp intuition" couldn't be activated at this time.While thinking about it, the words of Li Zhijun rang in my ears again last night - "Go to a place with a lot of people to find a visa officer."

800 people, is that too many people?

"Excuse me... If you want to leave the oasis, is it okay?" She also gave it up, she simply came to be the bad guy and asked all the questions that offended people.

Sure enough, Sister Li pursed her lips again.It was Chen Jinfeng who looked much more graceful. He smiled and said, "Although it's silly to do this, the oasis is free, and you can go whenever you want."

"Since you say that..." Lin Sanjiu glanced at the two companions beside him hesitantly. "Then let's join first, shall we?"
