The Fantastical Beasts at World's End

The rescue operation arranged by the base lasted for nearly a week. Teams were sent in all directions along different arterial roads to sweep the entire city in a blanket search.But the result of the rescue is heartbreaking—City H is relatively famous among the first-tier cities in the country. Although the population of the city is not as large as those of the largest ones, the number is still quite large. But after such a heavy fog, the urban area Only more than 1 people were found by the search and rescue team and brought back to the base.

In contrast, the death and injury situation in suburban rural areas is much better.Especially in relatively remote places like bases, the number of casualties is single digits, and some even have no casualties at all.This is simply a great irony for some people who once lived in the city and flaunted their good life.However, the people in those villages were unwilling to give up the place where their ancestors lived, and they all planned to continue to live there. Few people came back with the search and rescue personnel from the base.

Several villages around the base, because they usually have contacts with the base, when the base supplies vegetables, fruits, and livestock, they will buy from these villages, and now they have become closer—the villagers have taken the initiative to draw out the area close to the base. Fertile land for the base to grow the crops needed.Moreover, although more than 1 people are relatively small compared to the population of the entire city, for the base, in addition to the already large number of internal soldiers, it is a bit of pressure to provide so many additional people.The villagers in several surrounding villages heard about it, and accepted the part of the base that couldn't fit without saying a word.

In addition to the survivors, the search and rescue team dispatched by the base also collected various materials along the way. Residential houses were generally severely damaged, and there were not many remaining materials. However, for some stores such as supermarkets, the location of the warehouse was very favorable, and they survived the heavy fog. At the same time, some people also saved a lot of supplies.Miscellaneous, everything, and the search and rescue team pulled back everything that could be useful.

As Ye Zhao and the others thought, once the rescue is over and everyone settles down in the base, a certain division of labor must be implemented to maintain the normal operation of the entire base. After all, there is no such thing as a free lunch.

There are a lot of military supplies in the base warehouse, and the search and rescue team brought back a considerable amount.But the distribution is still limited——

Because almost all the rescued people only had one set of clothes on their bodies, the base sorted out the clothes from the supplies and distributed one set to each person so that everyone could change and wash them.Three meals a day in the morning and evening, one steamed bun and one bowl of porridge, one bowl of white rice and one vegetable at noon.But these are not completely free.

Under the current circumstances, the entire city is paralyzed, and the original method of exchanging money for goods is no longer feasible.Not to mention taking the money and not being able to find a place to spend it, even the money itself is not much left in the fog, and the types and total amount are confused, so the paper money loses its meaning.The base began to adopt the work point system again.

Ability division refers to some laws and actual conditions: children under 14 years old, elderly people over 75 years old, pregnant women and people who are incapable of working can directly receive three meals. In addition to the basic three meals, more pay for more work.

The difficulty and amount of labor also varies from person to person. Most of the women are distributed around the base, helping to manage the crops in the farmland and take care of the livestock.

Men have more division of labor, some go out to clean up the ruined city, and recycle all available resources, some start to plant a large number of tree species distributed by the base in the city, and the other part forms a patrol team, responsible for the base and its surrounding areas The safety of the village, because since the fog cleared, there have been many incidents of wild beasts attacking people in the mountains and forests, and several of them directly entered the base, which has never happened before.

But this is not the only situation that occurs here.

In the case that the signal still failed to recover, Ye Zhao and the others kept inquiring about the outside world from the master.They had never understood why the mayor's secretary invited the master over every time he held a routine meeting.It was only later that I learned that they had been communicating with the imperial capital and other provinces and cities through the paper cranes made of talisman paper by the master. It was almost equivalent to the video conference in the past, but now it has become audio.

From the master, they learned that almost all the military bases in the country have been put to use, and the governments of various places have moved one after another. A new small social system has been formed in the base, and various experts dispatched urgently by the imperial capital to communicate and communicate.The largest base is still the imperial capital, and the scale of the H city base can also be ranked among the top five in the country, which shows how serious the casualties are this time.However, foreign countries have not seen much better. Except for those places with relatively high vegetation coverage and less natural damage, most cities, especially some once extremely prosperous metropolises, have been destroyed to a mess.

Luo Xiaochen and the others also got in touch with their parents in other provinces through the master, and they were temporarily relieved when they learned that their family members were all safe.

"Hey——under such circumstances, it would be nice to be able to get in touch." Xia Zhiming leaned against the trunk of a big tree about the thickness of two people hugging each other, and looked sideways at a mountain wall about 20 meters away.In the middle of the mountain wall, there is a cave that is only half exposed by the surrounding vegetation. From this angle, you can see the dark cave entrance, which is eerie and weird.

Two days ago, none of the three people in charge of the patrol came back. Finally, under the search of the large army, they saw bloodstains by the tree next to the cave. People have to suspect that in this cave, it is Not some kind of beast lived there.As a result, this place became one of the key places to inspect. Around the cave alone, there were a dozen or so people equipped with guns. Among them were Xia Zhiming and Luo Xiaochen. They happened to be in this area today. From seven o'clock in the morning to now, I have been staring here for nearly eight hours.

They didn't want to hunt those wild beasts. After all, the lesson of the fog has raised people's awe of nature to an unprecedented level. They are no longer like before, from the perspective of controllers, arbitrarily dominating many things in nature.What is being adopted now is the principle that no one offends me, I will not offend others. As long as the beasts in the mountains and forests do not attack, they cannot shoot at will.

For Luo Xiaochen and the others, all they need to do is ensure that everything is safe on the day they guard.If there were no wild beasts for a day, then they could spend the day leaning against a tree chatting, which can be described as a job that is both leisurely and dangerous.

"Yeah." Luo Xiaochen, who was leaning behind the tree next to him, nodded, followed Xia Zhiming's words and said, "It's all thanks to the master, the old man is very talkative, but he is really reliable at critical times."

The master not only helps high-level officials to contact the imperial capital, but also engages in "scientific research" in his spare time. Of course, his "scientific research" will definitely shatter the scientific views of some brick-and-mortar experts.The master took his young apprentices and asked some people from the base to collect various tree species in the mountains and surrounding farms, especially the trees with large canopy and full of vigor.Then he took the tree planting team to the urban area with arrogance, and Ye Zhao and the others were all abducted by him to help.

Facts have proved that the purpose of the master calling so many people to go together is to think about it.

In the beginning, this short, thin old naughty boy, wearing a fluttering and very bluffing Taoist robe, and his little apprentice, followed the crowd on a military truck and was dragged to the destroyed comparison Serious central area.After getting out of the car, the master first took out a bird that was a circle bigger than a pigeon from his palm-sized cloth pocket. Except for Ye Zhao and the few people he had seen, everyone around was stunned. .Then, the master released the flaming bird. The bird circled in the air and changed from the size of a pigeon to a huge monster. The width of its back alone is enough for several people to lie side by side. A group of people shrouded the ground.So even Ye Zhao and the others felt that their eyes were going to be blinded by this fiery red bird!

The master still did not let go of everyone's scientific views. He took his little apprentice and climbed on the back of the bird domineeringly. The person who scattered the flowers was a goddess, so the people below would definitely be dumbfounded. Unfortunately, the person who scattered the flowers was a naughty old man, so everyone didn't care about admiring them at all.

Before those tree species fell to the ground, the master took out a long-necked bottle with a big belly. After uncorking the bottle, he waved his sleeve, and the liquid contained in the bottle fell down like rain and stuck to the tree species. As they fell to the ground, almost instantly, the fallen trees sprouted buds...

Then, after the master had finished riding, he put his mount back into his cloth pocket, and led a group of people who had done nothing but watch, drop their chins and pick them up, and returned to the base with great vigor.

Afterwards, Ye Zhao once asked the master with no expression: "Why did you bring us there?" =_= He took care of it all by himself from the beginning to the end, what do you need so many people for...

The master put up a finger with a dignified face: "First, in order to establish prestige, under such circumstances, even if they are in the base, most people are still not at ease, which is very detrimental to the development of a group. After shaking them, the old man will naturally feel relieved." The master withdrew his fingers, sat cross-legged on the bed, closed his eyes and meditated.

Provoking everyone to ask: "What about the second?"

The master opened his eyes and said calmly: "There is no other." After finishing speaking, he continued to meditate and ignored these unteachable children.

Everyone: "..." There is only one reason. What "one" are you using indiscriminately? !

However, the master's words are indeed quite reasonable. On that day, the news of planting trees spread throughout the base. Everyone felt that "there is an expert in charge, so there is no need to worry about life in the future." The next day, the people in the base changed their previous impetuous The state of the situation has obviously become much calmer, and they all began to complete the things they assigned in a down-to-earth manner.

"Hiss—speaking of Master, I haven't seen him since I woke up this morning. Logically speaking, isn't he always sitting on the bed and meditating?" Luo Xiaochen drove away a bug that was crawling towards him, looked at Xia Zhiming and said : "There are also Ye Zhao and Nie Renyan. The two of them were gone early in the morning. A few days ago, they had breakfast together before going to work separately. It's strange."

Xia Zhiming also looked around the tree trunk to confirm that there were no poisonous insects around him, and crossed his arms and said, "I don't know, but the two of them are going to the city today, maybe they left earlier."

"Really?" Luo Xiaochen nodded, but he was a little confused, because when he was half asleep and half awake, he seemed to hear Ye Zhao say something: "Hurry up, it's too late."
