Relief cannot last forever.

Still maintainable, but always under a lot of pressure.Even if the first phase of the test field has been basically successful, the shortage of supplies in New Mahic City cannot be fundamentally improved.In fact, even today, the pioneers of Xinmaxi City are still inconceivable that they can persevere. Hundreds of thousands of living people who have almost nothing, not only need food and drink, but also a place to live. What's more terrible is that they still have to do epidemic prevention work.

However, the supply of materials in the industrial city is very strong. With such strong support, people's abilities seem to have taken a leap because of urgent needs. If I want to describe it, in the most difficult times, they feel their bodies and minds They all fell into a kind of mechanical etherealness, and work has become a kind of instinct. No matter how complicated the affairs at hand are, no matter what bad news comes from the resettlement area, they can keep their faces unchanged and move forward in an orderly manner. The tasks in front of me are completed one by one according to the priority, I never quarrel in the work meeting, and I eat and rest very regularly.There must have been something terrible about their appearance at that time, so that people in the resettlement area were a little in awe when they talked about that time.

"You're just pushed too hard." People who have become close to the members of the working group said with a smile, "It was a terrible time."

Because being awe-inspiring helps establish order and enforces many rules that violate the local traditional living habits. Most importantly, most members of the working group feel that the state of ecstasy is a supernatural performance under the brink of extinction , is difficult to reproduce, and they don't want to squeeze their potential to exhaustion again.Few people will feel suspicious and look back to the abnormal situation of the entire organization at that time.

Although it was necessary to investigate, Fan Tianlan didn't care too much.As long as Yun Shen doesn't mind too much the extraordinary means of extraordinary times, he still lacks an effective way to control his talent, especially...he is not by his side.

In any case, Xinmaxi City has passed the most difficult level.Of the more than 500 people who migrated actively and passively, only more than [-] died after entering the city due to disease, malnutrition and other reasons. Their reorganization work went relatively smoothly.With the end of the autumn harvest and the convening of the Alliance Tribal Conference, the work of New Mahasi City will also enter the next stage.

Like the people in the resettlement area, even if they can accommodate them, the city's current managers don't intend to convert all the disaster victims into permanent residents. They have already formulated a long-term development plan for the city, even if the plan goes smoothly. , It is also impossible to provide enough job opportunities for 10 people in a short period of time.Although some of the 10 people are teenagers, if the family is taken as the unit, the [-] people can also be divided into a smaller number of basic units. If the purchasing power of work points is calculated according to the standard of the alliance, only one or two people in a family can work. Others can survive, although the quality of life will not be very high.

But no matter whether it is in the industrial city or in the pioneers, it neither wants a city with a completely concentrated population, nor does it want such slums to appear in this emerging city.There are indeed some people who hope to stay in this city, but there are also many people who still have a long-term instinct for land. The harvest of the experimental farm will undoubtedly arouse their more and deeper desires, and the pioneers feel Get, and there are enough conditions to realize their wishes.

Due to the influence of plague, drought and human factors, Xinmaxi City is now in a state of great shrinkage, and the population and supplies are gathered in the city, but the area that the city can directly control has become wider and wider. On the inner main road, all the villages near the relief point were abandoned by their lords. Not only the land was abandoned, but also the villagers who signed the abandonment order, no matter whether they had served the foreigners or not, the church They were all denounced as rebels, and the rebellion and massacres in Orson County further exacerbated the isolation of these areas.The dual effects of natural disasters and man-made disasters made people have to seek refuge in New Marhi City. While accepting the refugees from these villages, the pioneering detachment established their control over these lands in writing.

So, let people wait in this city until spring, and then return to their villages with food, seeds, and new contracts, is this considered mission accomplished?

Then the pioneering team is really a team of saints who don't ask for anything in return. Even if they are capable, no one wants to do such a good thing.The young team members are striving to change the world—or at least change the corrupt order in this area. They have done so many things, and naturally they will not stop at the pastoral step.What's more, few of them have experienced the peaceful life of traditional villages. The experience of being oppressed, enslaved, and trafficked occupies an important part of their lives. In the traditional order, personal peace is as perishable as dew, and even more Not to mention the hunger and cold that follow us everywhere.Until the rise of the industrial city and the industrial alliance, they not only gained freedom and lived a relatively affluent life, but also felt the strong self-confidence brought about by their strength in the process of expanding outward.

As the new rulers, because of the hard work during the flood of disaster victims, they instinctively wanted to grasp everything in their hands, so when discussing the rural construction around Xinmaxi City, they naturally abandoned the old governance methods , each group put forward their own views on agriculture. At the meeting, what they discussed most was the large farm model unique to the industrial city and the collective farm model that the work team going to Orson County wanted to test.

The ongoing natural disasters proved that individual strength is powerless in the face of natural disasters. Before the Orson County rebellion led to the interruption of intelligence channels, only new farm tools, especially large farm tools such as waterwheels, were adopted and expedited. Manors and villages that have done some small projects such as canal repair and well digging can carry out farming activities relatively normally.Even though it is impossible to conduct on-the-spot surveys now, through the indirect information collected from merchants by the trading houses in the city, the production and life of the entire plain area have been hit hard by the continuous disasters this year, and the impact of food shortages will last for a long time , The bumper harvest of the experimental field has spread to the outside world through various channels, and some lords have expressed their strong desire to return to their land with the seeds of these magical crops after winter is over.

There is that strange phenomenon again here, the noble lords hate, envy, and are always thinking about how to drive away the new ruler of the city, but at the same time believe that the foreigners who have experienced the flood of disasters will still make them extremely Great benefits at low cost.

The merchants seem to think that this is still a problem that can be solved through negotiation and money exchange, but the settlers have long since grown tired of these noble rulers.The appetite of the nobles is so great that they can never be fed. Unless there is no way out, they will not take the initiative to pursue progress. Time and resources are so scarce, why not use them in more valuable places?

Those who come to New Mahic City will be left behind.Although the city has a maximum permanent population of [-] to [-], around the city, [-] to [-] base point villages will be established around the city, with traffic lines as links. These villages adopt new farm tools, new seeds, and new production methods The new-style countryside will not only absorb the remaining population, but will also form a solid cluster centered on the city. Only by building these base point villages can the city achieve complete control over this area and strengthen its connection with Orson County. It will lay the foundation for the complete transformation of Orson County in the future and the integration of the two regions.

Although they received education from another system, the thinking of the young people in the Pioneering Detachment still bears the distinctive imprint of this world.They have their own unique cognitive system, which can be compatible upwards—the philosophical truths brought by magicians, and can be expanded downwards—the strong set the order, what is mine is mine, and what is yours will also become mine.For them, the flood of disaster victims is a severe test, but also an unprecedented opportunity. A large amount of idle land and a large number of people in urgent need of survival materials allow them to do things that they could only think about before.

There are not many materials they can refer to, but this makes people more daring.

The significance of the autumn harvest that has ended is great. It not only proves that the high-yielding crops are well adapted to the new land, but also brings strong confidence to the pioneering detachment and the people in the city, including the bishop of Seris who has left with the task force , he also participated in the harvest before the team set off, and he has no doubts about whether Orson County can be reorganized.The production team is very willing to further expand the experimental farm, whether it is out of caution and dare not try to do it alone without special fertilizers and the technical guidance of the Gentile captain, or because collective labor is more efficient and ecstasy for the harvest The team members seemed to be very satisfied with the food they were allotted, and no one asked the captain when the contract would be terminated and let them cultivate their own land alone.People in the city yearn for such a harvest, and at the same time believe that such a high yield is compatible with the special production method and labor method. Few of them believe that the same harvest can be achieved through traditional farming methods.

Confidence is the foundation of the next step.By mastering the geographical data collected since the city of Maxi, the development team determined the site selection of thirteen base point villages and built a sand table. The construction has achieved certain results. The completed road section can pass large-scale machinery such as crawler tractors for a short time. The winter snowfall period in the Buber Plain is not long, and the soil freezing is not serious. With sufficient manpower, these ten roads can be completed before spring. The preliminary construction of the three base villages is feasible in the plan.

Now that the conditions are basically met, it is time to start working, but before the next large-scale construction, Fan Tianlan, as the leader of the development team, needs to leave Xinmaxi City temporarily, return to the Industrial City to report on his work, and participate in the next important meeting.

His departure will undoubtedly have an impact on the city, but this impact will not shake the stability of the city, and it can be minimized as much as possible. In addition to making arrangements for daily affairs in the next month and preparing plans for possible unexpected situations, Before leaving, he also needs to empower the city's inner defense and outer security forces-granting them the power to use large-scale firearms in emergencies.

"I hope no one's mind is too unclear." The person in charge of the garrison said with a smile, "We sleep on these things every day."

Fan Tianlan finished his work in less than two days. He didn't bring any luggage with him, and there was no see-off ceremony. He walked out of his office as usual, crossed the city, and boarded the white boat for the return journey with others.The elf Messedas walked with her.Although this journey is a rare opportunity to face the son of the dragon, the elf summoned up his courage several times, but failed to talk to him. Most of the time he could only stay in his cabin and write quickly.

Huge, calm and almost elegant white boats pass through the slow-flowing river. In the twilight of the morning light, they seem to be sailing into a mist. Dyeing in the autumn colors, those bright lines diffused and melted, and the fleet seemed to have entered the painting and turned into sparkling waves.

The more upstream you go, the more varied the autumn scenery on the shore is, the sky is high and the mountains are stacked, on the background of light blue, dark green and brown ocher, the hand of nature has dyed a lot of beautiful scenery with the cool north wind. Bright colors, sometimes carefully drawn, sometimes painted in large strokes, are beautiful no matter how you look at them. The reeds on the bank have also changed from bright green to golden yellow, and they reflect the leaves and smooth curved branches on the water surface. Intertwined into an ocean of light under the sun, the reed flowers are the layers of waves. When the wind blows, large fluffy snow floats up from the waves, spreading life to the vast world.

When the elf looked up out of the porthole, he couldn't help thinking about his last voyage.She can appreciate the scenery along the road, and her mind is as clear and joyful as in the forest. Is it because she has eliminated the barriers in her heart during her stay in Xinmaxi City?Or is it because the place she is going to is the city of miracles that will soon become famous all over the world, and can give her more answers to her questions?

Maybe there are all these reasons, but what is true is that after leaving the forest and going through such a journey, her views on many things have changed extremely strongly, just like the change of seasons.

Compared with before leaving, Industrial City seems to have not changed much, and some changes seem to have taken place.The pier is not crowded. The city has not really opened up to the outside world, so there are almost no tourists. The two node cities of New Marsh City and Orbis King's Capital are not so much channels for the industrial city to communicate with the outside world as two It is a bunker that uses offense instead of defense. Most of the people who come and go on the river are responsible affairs personnel. They have a clear purpose, they will not stay at the pier, and they don’t need relatives and friends to greet them. The elves walked down the square with them to disinfect point.

Although the prevention and control of infectious diseases in New Mahic City is very good, everyone still does the necessary preventive work very carefully. Antibiotics are effective against several major epidemics on the Buber Plain, but it does not mean that there is no risk. up.After disinfecting her whole body, changing her clothes, and wearing an identification ring, Elf boarded the rail car, which drove her through the city and took her to the dormitory near the middle school.Although there are more than 25 resident elves in Industrial City, there is no special clubhouse built for them. All elves, whether working outside or in the city, the mixed dormitory is their permanent residence here.

But this cannot be regarded as a kind of neglect, at least Methedas does not think it is a kind of neglect to let them live among the crowd.She carried her luggage through the courtyard full of autumn flowers, walked up the wide steps, greeted the people she met on the way, walked up to the fourth floor, took out the key to open the room, and walked in the door.

Brilliant fire clouds filled the huge window frames, the golden orange sunset light shone on the white wall, the paintings on the wall had been changed, the room was extremely bright, the wooden floor was very clean, there was almost no dust on the table, the elf carried the luggage Putting it into the small bedroom, as soon as she opened the closet, she saw three sets of new clothes, two sets of overalls, and a set of finely handcrafted elf clothing. On the bedside cabinet were the latest brochures and the new issue of newspapers. A large bunch of beautiful flowers are placed on the window sill, together with the red window lattice and the transparent polygonal water bottle, it gives people spiritual comfort.

Methedas could tell which ones were the daily maintenance of the dormitory administrator, and which ones were the thoughtfulness of others for her.She turned and walked out of the bedroom, her slender braids arcing in the air, and at the same time, a tall figure walked in from the door.

"Shia!" Messedas shouted.

"Mel!" The battle elf smiled and opened his arms, hugging his best friend tightly.

After a long absence, of course there should be a hug.

Fan Tianlan took it for granted, very naturally, not to go to the dormitory that had been assigned to him long ago. Although he had been away for a while, he knew where Yun Shen lived no matter how he changed, and no one would stop him on the way. Everyone can remember his face, and then remember his role in the construction of the industrial city and the development of the alliance. They greeted him, and Fan Tianlan also responded politely.He walked into the nameless white building as if coming home—really coming home, walked down the corridor, and stopped in front of the door.He opened the door.

"You're back." A silver-haired beauty by the shelf turned her head and smiled at him.

Fan Tianlan stood at the door for a second, and closed the door the next moment.He closed the door quickly, but Meravia's hand was already on the side of the door, and the thick wooden board clicked, and was instantly torn in half by the opposite force like a pancake.

The hinges fell to the ground, and Meravia said, "Oops."

The sentinel who heard the abnormal noise rushed over here, Fan Tianlan and Meravia were facing each other, each holding half of the door panel, Yun Shen also came out of the guest room at this time.He looked at them a little surprised.

Fan Tianlan: "..."

So the first thing he did after he came back was to go to the logistics department to get the door and the door frame, and replace them with his own hands—Yun Shen was there to help him, if it wasn't for Melavia who had been useless and an eyesore On the one hand, it's not too bad.

After doing this, the sentinel on shift helped to take the tools back. Fan Tianlan asked Meravia, "What are you doing here?"

"Talking about work," Meravia said.

"It's off work. It's late." Fan Tianlan looked down at him and said.

"Yunshen has the privilege of working overtime," Meravia said.

"You didn't." Fan Tianlan said.

So Meravia was driven away.

After he came back, Yun Shen smiled and said to him, "Actually, he just wanted to come and see you..."

"He did it on purpose." Fan Tianlan said with a straight face.

"He is indeed a bit childish." Yun Shen said indulgently.With a smile in his eyes, he looked at him tenderly.

Fan Tianlan looked at him for a while, walked up to him, hugged him gently but tightly, and buried her head on his shoulder.Yun Shen's fingers penetrated into his strong and smooth black hair, combed his long hair, and was led by him to lean against the head of the bed.

The quiet night slowly enveloped, and the evening wind blew through the window. Fan Tianlan felt the real body and temperature in his arms, and remembered the conversation just now.

"You have been working outside for so long, and you haven't written me a letter." Melavia complained on the road.

Fan Tianlan didn't want to talk to him at all.

"Although you don't miss me, I still care about you." Meravia added, "You wrapped him up too tightly, and he couldn't sleep well at night. Or you already know that, with him The closer your connection, the stronger your power?"

Fan Tianlan was silent for a moment, "I don't know."

Meravia studied him. "You know now, but you don't really care. You're kinda happy, actually, aren't you?"

He laughed.It's a beautiful, but icy smile.

"This is the dragon." He said softly, "The more we cherish it, the more greedy we will be."

Greed, yes.Everyone is like this, human life is too short, everyone wants to grasp everything in front of them.

So what is the essential difference between dragons and humans?

In an indescribable sense of satisfaction and hunger, he closed his eyes.

Yun Shen stroked the top of his hair gently, and he fell asleep.
