Escape From the Library

【Environmental Pollution-02】

Yue Xingwen pressed the "Course Selection" button on the tablet, and familiar information soon appeared on the screen——

【Compulsory Course: Environmental Pollution】

【College: School of Environment】

【Credits: 3】

[Examination room rules: The maximum number of people in the examination room is 12 (excluding X group members)]

[Course description: The environment of the city you live in is polluted, and human survival is in serious crisis]

[Examination Requirements: Survive for 14 days]

[Confirm Course Selection: Yes/No]

Since the word "survival" is mentioned in the course description, it seems that this is a survival challenge in an extremely harsh environment?

Yue Xingwen looked back at everyone, and said: "Survival course, after everyone enters the examination room, try to see if the research group channel can type and report your location. Figure to find someone."

Xiaotu can use the song "Look, Find, Find Friends" to find nearby teammates. Hearing this, Ke Shaobin immediately nodded and said, "No problem. If everyone is scattered, I will let Xiaotu find you."

Seeing that his teammates were ready, Yue Xingwen pressed the "confirm button".

A cold mechanical voice reminded my ears: "Congratulations to the C183 research group for successfully selecting the course. The exam for the course "Environmental Pollution" is about to begin. Please wait..."

At exactly 8 o'clock, everyone's eyes went dark at the same time.

When he regained his vision, Yue Xingwen couldn't help but widen his eyes, looking at everything in front of him in disbelief——

Where is this environmental pollution?This is the end of the world, right? !

I saw that the entire city was covered with a layer of yellow sand, and there was no trace of the blue sky. There was a pungent dusty smell in the air, and the visibility was less than 50 meters.

This is the worst sandstorm that Yue Xingwen has seen from news pictures.

And this city is far more than just a problem of sandstorms.

Yue Xingwen quickly looked around, the soil where he looked, seemed to have been corroded by something, the color was very strange, all the plants on the roadside were dead, and there was no green in the whole city.The branches of the trees were drooping listlessly, and the leaves were dry and gray, blown by the sandstorm and fluttering around like paper money at a funeral.

Not to mention the brightly colored flower beds on the side of the road, there is not even a piece of lawn, but there are many tall buildings.

The whole city is like a desolate, dilapidated doomsday city, with no life in sight.

However, there are still many human beings living in this city. When Yue Xingwen opened his eyes, he happened to be standing on the street, and a few pedestrians passed by him. Goggle, still wearing a white plastic jacket that resembled a raincoat, hurried on his feet.

On the contrary, he, who didn't wear a mask and hat, looked like a strange person.

People around cast strange glances at him, like watching a gorilla escape from a zoo.

In an instant, the sand blew all over his face, and a lot of dust got into his hair. Yue Xingwen frowned, covered his mouth and nose with the sleeve of his left arm, and opened the research group channel with his right hand—the input box was not disabled. Can communicate with teammates.

Just as he was about to type, a message from Jiang Pingce appeared on the channel of the research group: "Xingwen, where are you?"

Yue Xingwen looked around and reported his location: "There is a building directly in front of me, the signboard says Huaxiang Building, and there is a crossroad next to it."

Ke Shaobin happily said: "I'm also nearby, Xing Wen, don't move, I'll come to you!"

Immediately afterwards, several teammates sent messages: "I saw the signboard of Huaxiang Building." "I'm at the back of the building."

Some teammates couldn't see the signboard of the building, and each reported the surrounding landmarks.

Yue Xingwen reminded: "The wind and sand are too big to tell the direction, everyone stay still, let Xiaotu find someone as soon as possible."

Ke Shaobin immediately summoned Xiaotu and asked Xiaotu to sing to find his teammates.

After half a minute, Yue Xingwen heard the crisp nursery rhyme playing behind him.

It was difficult to see the scene in front of him clearly in the windy and sandy weather, but the transmission of the sound was not affected. He turned and walked towards Xiaotu in the direction of the singing. After walking a few meters, he saw a cute white robot turning around the corner. After reaching him, the lights on Xiaotu's head flickered, and he reported in a crisp voice: "Master, I found a teammate."

The coordinates of Yue Xingwen appeared in Ke Shaobin's laptop immediately, and at the same time, Yue Xingwen was also typing on the research group channel: "I saw the small picture."

Ke Shaobin immediately commanded: "Xiao Tu, continue to scan the surroundings."

Robots do not rely on eyes to see things, but rely on radar scanning. Wind and sand weather will affect human vision, but it will not affect the function of the thumbnail.Soon, Xiaotu searched around according to Ke Shaobin's navigation, and found Jiang Pingce again.

Yue Xingwen walked with Xiaotu. The moment he saw the disheveled Jiang Pingce, he was stunned, and said dumbfoundingly, "Ping Ce? I almost didn't recognize you!"

Jiang Pingce is obsessed with cleanliness.In Yue Xingwen's impression, he is always clean, he likes to wear neatly pressed shirts, and he has a kind of indifference that repels others thousands of miles away, like a male lead in an idol drama who strayed into college.

But now, Jiang Pingce's hair was blown like weeds by the wind, with sand in his hair and a layer of yellow sand on his face. He had never seen Jiang Pingce in such a mess.

Come to think of it, I must be pretty much the same now.

The two looked at each other, and Jiang Pingce looked up at the wind and sand covering the city, and said helplessly, "Let's find an indoor environment first and avoid the sandstorm."

As soon as he opened his mouth, sand and dust poured into his mouth.

Jiang Pingce frowned and closed his mouth, and motioned Yue Xingwen with his eyes to go to the building in front.

Yue Xingwen nodded, followed Jiang Pingce to Huaxiang Building, and typed in the research group while walking: "Students who can see the signboard of Huaxiang Building, go in first and wait in the entrance hall. If you can't see it, let Xiao The picture came to find you."

After entering the gate of Huaxiang Building, Yue Xingwen stood behind the gate and patted the dust off his body.

The sand and dust floating in the air are really pervasive. The two of them only stayed outside for a few minutes, not to mention that their clothes and hair were covered with sand, and there were even traces of sand in their ears.

Yue Xingwen picked out his ears and said, "Isn't the environment here too harsh? Have you noticed that the whole city can't even find a single green tree, and there are no flowers and plants on the roadside, it's completely barren."

Jiang Pingce quickly brushed the sand off his body and hair, and said, "It may be due to soil pollution, plants cannot survive here." Seeing Xingwen's hair was messed up like a bird's nest, Jiang Pingce couldn't help stretching out his hand, and said softly : "Close your eyes."

Yue Xingwen didn't know what the other party was going to do, but he closed his eyes obediently.

Jiang Pingce gently ran his fingers through his hair, shaking out all the sand in Yue Xingwen's hair, and then used his fingers as a comb to help him comb his messy hair.

Fingers glide gently over the scalp and feel very comfortable.

Yue Xingwen squinted his eyes and waited for him to finish. Then he opened his eyes and said, "I know you are most concerned about the messy environment. Next, we will live here for half a month, so you have to bear with it."

Jiang Pingce said lightly, "Yes."

At this moment, Xiaotu led a group of teammates into the Huaxiang Building.

Yue Xingwen glanced at it, and was relieved to see that all the members of the research team had arrived.It's just that the students were all ashamed, and a group of people seemed to have just rolled around in the dirt, very embarrassed.

Lin Manluo's long, smooth, black hair has been dyed a "sand version" grayish yellow. She shook the dirt on her hair, and said helplessly, "This city is full of air pollution, soil pollution, and water pollution. But I found that the expressions of the residents on the city streets are not panicked, as if they have adapted to such an environment?"

Ke Shaobin wondered: "Besides, their outfits are very uniform. All of them wear strange masks, turbans on their heads, goggles on their eyes, and raincoat-like coats. They don't show anything at all. Outside!"

Liu Zhaoqing was straight-tempered, and couldn't help cursing: "I fucking thought I was in a big desert. I was so blown away by the sand that I couldn't keep my eyes open, but it turned out that this is actually a city?"

Xu Yishen's curly hair has the most sand in it. He scratched his hair and said, "The residents of this city are dressed like special forces in end-time movies, and the masks are too exaggerated."

Xin Yan explained in a low voice: "It's a gas mask. There are several layers of filters at the position of the breathing valve, which can not only filter sand and dust in the air, but also filter poisons."

Zhang Xiaonian whispered: "The environment is so bad, have they never thought about moving to another place? How can the residents of this city bear to live in such an environment for a long time?"

Jiang Pingce said suddenly: "What if they have been here since birth?"

Everyone turned their heads to look at him.

Jiang Pingce said: "Judging from the reactions of the people around them, they have long been accustomed to such an environment. Perhaps they have lived in such an environment since they were young. They have never seen the blue sky or breathed fresh air. People in the city all wear masks and goggles, and this has become their daily attire when they go out. There are no green plants or flowers in the city, but this is their home.”

Judging from the calm emotions of the residents, such speculation is extremely likely.

Yue Xingwen said with a serious face: "Growing up here since they were young, they have already adapted to this environment. You wonder why they didn't move away when they were young? I'm afraid they have no place to move, because other cities are similar. "

Jiang Pingce nodded and concluded: "The world we have come to should be the end of the environment."

Goose bumps all over Lin Manluo's body kept popping out.

She often goes on field trips with her teacher, and has never seen such a harsh environment in reality. Human beings living in such an environment will definitely have many health problems, and breathing such air every day will shorten their lifespan.

There are no mutated animals in this world, and no viruses spread...

This is environmental doomsday.

Humans can still live.It's just that the quality of life is terribly low.

People in this world have probably never seen the blue sky, white clouds, flowers and green trees!

Lin Manluo took a deep breath and said, "As outsiders, we must not be able to adapt to such a place suddenly. We are required to survive for 14 days. How should we deal with drinking water and food?"
