Plant Invasion [End Times]

Shen Kuo was sitting in the small black room, still a little bit unresponsive.

After sitting on the chair for a while, Shen Kuo still couldn't help getting up and went to the door, opened the small window on the door and asked the guard outside: "Is it safe now?"

"Sorry, there is no safety notice from above, please bear with me." The guard outside answered him apologetically.

"Oh." Shen Kuo was not too surprised to get such an answer again.

He slowly walked back to the only set of tables and chairs in the center of the hut, sat down on the chair, picked up the cold tea on the table, and took a sip slowly.

He is not worried about his safety now, let alone the food that Jin Shao said in advance, as long as the people in the base city are not all a bunch of lunatics, it is impossible for someone to touch him now, even if the base city All of them are a bunch of lunatics, and he has plenty of ways to get out of trouble.

As long as he wants, he can leave here at any time through the alien space as a transfer station.Although after a series of verifications, it was found that when he entered the alien space and came out again, he could only appear within a radius of one kilometer from the original entry point, but in terms of mobility and escape ability, Jin Shao was actually no match for him.

At the time when the matter was urgent, if Jin Shao insisted that the danger in the jungle was unknown, and walking steadily step by step was safer and more stable than him flashing through the jungle, Shen Kuo would have used the different space as a springboard to shuttle through the jungle.Relying on this way of looking at one kilometer is much faster than walking in the woods with their feet. In addition, they can find a road and drive for a while from time to time, maybe they can get here in less than six days.

Needless to mention the past, Shen Kuo shook his head, trying to get the word Jin Shao out of his head.

He thought, Jin Shao must never have imagined that he would encounter such an accident when he returned to the base city.

He thought that by bringing himself back, he could make amends and wash away his previous crimes of manslaughtering ordinary people, or maybe he still dreamed of being promoted to a higher level?He turned out to be the captain of the mobile team, what did he want to do afterwards?He called the old man chief, maybe he wanted to be deputy chief?

Who did he contact at Temporary Base No. [-] last night, and what news did he get?

Full of joy, he tricked himself back to the base city. He was happily waiting for the reward, right?I don't know if he felt confused when his chief asked him to go home?

This is probably bad news.He calculated himself, but in the end he got nothing.

Shen Kuo thought viciously for a while, and before he knew it, he drank all the cold tea on the table.

Shen Kuo took out his electronic watch and looked at it. It has been more than three hours since he was brought to this room named "Safe House".

More than three hours ago, he went to the base city to meet his convoy, and the convoy was attacked within a few steps.

Then he was urgently transferred to this "safe house" as a place of refuge in the name of "important people must not suffer losses".

According to some bits and pieces of information he heard in the convoy at the time, the attackers were a group of guys called "rebellious people".And this is also the fourth party force that Shen Kuo knew after coming to the base city.

After more than three hours of back-and-forth clichés and some experiences on the road, Shen Kuo has confirmed the four forces in this base city.

The so-called "moderate faction" and "radical faction" that originally divided the upper-level personnel of the base city into two in Jin Shao's mouth have disappeared, replaced by the "scientific research faction" represented by the current technicians and the newly born superpowers from the military The "military faction" represented by the Communist Party of China, and some of the original officials have defected to one side.The other two major forces are the ordinary people in the base city who exist almost as cannon fodder, and the civilian supernatural beings who are unwilling to be accepted into the military's "military faction" among the ordinary people.

It's funny to say, but according to what Shen Kuo heard from the guards guarding him, in fact, there were no so-called folk supernatural beings at all.In this doomsday situation, almost all resources are concentrated in the hands of the government. Everyone knows the benefits of entering the official system. If there is no such farce before, these folk supernatural beings will definitely rush to join the army when they wake up. The Fang system seeks a better life.

Unfortunately, there are no ifs in this world.

And this farce was caused by the "radical faction" in Jin Shao's mouth, and it is still a powerful weapon used by the "force faction" to attack the "scientific research faction".

The beginning of the matter is almost the same as what Jin Shao said on the way here. The radicals came to power after he left.However, the process by which the radicals came to power was somewhat different from what he had imagined.

Jin Shao's voluntary acceptance of the result of being expelled did not quell public anger. On the contrary, the people who had been suppressed for too long believed that this was an official concession to their public opinion, and they had a guilty conscience.Therefore, the scientific research team led by Jin Qi and other scientific researchers was criticized as incompetent people who sucked the flesh and blood of the people, and the people clamored for these ineffective people to step down.

Those ordinary people who were dying of hunger, with the strength they didn't know where they came from, left their homes one by one, and went to sit-in and demonstrate in the square outside the scientific research building in the base city.

It is said that unless those incompetent people are replaced, they will not eat or drink, and all starve to death in the square.

Perhaps for these desperate people, starving to death in the square was no different than starving to death at home.The former can at least find a slim chance for the same poor people as himself, for his children and relatives, while the latter is as humble as a dead mouse in the sewer, and can only rot in an unknown corner.

The base city officials dispatched soldiers to intimidate them but failed to force them back.

As a result, a group of moderate technicians represented by Jin Qi was "retired", and another group of people who talked about efficiency came to power.

When later people evaluated this period of history, they could not completely say that these radical technicians were wrong.

The radicals came to power within half a month, and they produced their first batch of results.

These results are the legendary first-generation improved vegetables.These vegetables were quickly distributed to the most peripheral group of people who lived the hardest life, solving the difficult life of the outermost group of people who gritted their teeth and struggled on the line of life and death every day.

All of a sudden, the base city applauded.

During those days, Jin Qi and other former researchers became the targets of everyone in the base city.This phenomenon is most serious among the people who are the first to benefit from the outermost part of the city. According to what the guards guarding Shen Kuo outside heard from the aunt of his third aunt’s nephew’s cousin, during those days, the people in the outermost part of the base city Before eating that incomparably precious meal, people have to scold them in their hearts for half an hour as pre-dinner etiquette, and then eat the food given to them by new researchers with great gratitude.

But the good times didn't last long. The people in the outermost circle began to become delirious, their bodies were out of control, and their movements became slow.Before everyone could react, those people who had eaten the first generation of improved vegetables all died of unknown reasons.

Only then did the people of Base City realize that these people are not life-saving bodhisattvas, they are simply devils.They are using the previous batch of people as test subjects.

The citizens of the base city immediately launched their second "uprising", and a large number of people sat in the square in front of the scientific research building and went on a hunger strike.

But this time, their "uprising" no longer worked.

The people in the scientific research building ignored them at all.

There are layers of defenses in the scientific research building, soldiers with live ammunition standing at the entrance of the building group, and the only way for the weak, sallow and emaciated people to threaten them is self-harm-the conscience of the people inside cannot bear it.

However, this incident is inherently ridiculous.Those who really care about their lives will not harm them, and those who don't care will not be shaken no matter how much they threaten their lives.

So the success of the demonstration proves that they beat away the friendly forces, and the failure of the demonstration proves that they really failed.

Using one's own life as a bargaining chip to threaten others has always been a joke.

The "uprising" lasted for three days. Those who could not persist silently left with their families supporting each other, and those who persisted died in the square.

After the failure of the "uprising", the official announced the strategy of the radicals in a leisurely manner - to concentrate resources and make every effort to break the situation.

The resources of the entire south are already in the base city, how can they be concentrated?Naturally, only some people will be given up.

The meaning of the so-called breaking the situation with all its strength is even more obvious: it turned out that there was no progress, not because the researchers were incapable, but because they lacked materials.Both plant material and human material are lacking.Now that all efforts are needed, human trials must be put on the agenda—and for the correctness of the data, the base number of "test items" must be large enough.This is the reason why one group died before.

Of course, the officials did not make the ordinary people in the base city too desperate. Soon, the officials announced that the new experimental site was chosen by the "pro-son" of the base city closest to the base city - the third base city.

The crisis seemed to have shifted, but when the news of the mass death of the people in Base City No. [-] came back inadvertently, apart from their consciences being tormented, more people still felt hopeless.So many people have died, so why haven't the non-toxic and safe food been researched?

The base city has fallen into a stricter management than before. The daily free time is cancelled. Ordinary people are not allowed to leave the place of residence unless there is an emergency. In fact, there is no emergency. For ordinary people, what is better than death? More urgent situations, but on such a day, it is very common for one or two people to die.

Base City fell into an unprecedented "dark period".Those days were later described as "□□", referring to those crazy white coats.

And just when ordinary people in the base city were about to accept their fate, another group of people suddenly jumped out.

Prior to this, the entire base city was under military control, and some of the soldiers in the base city were mobile teams representing the elite forces fighting against the dangerous jungle outside, and the other part was patrolling the entire city to prevent riots. The city defense team as a security force.These two teams are directly under the old general Wang Yaowu of the base city, and general Wang Yaowu, as the top leader of the armed forces, is also under the management of the mayor.

The mayor, on the other hand, wanted to listen to the institute's request.All the needs of the research institute must be met by the mayor as soon as possible, and these orders are passed on to the soldiers below. Therefore, the mayor and General Wang Yaowu's command over the soldiers below exists in name only, and the two major armed forces are in the hands of the research institute. in hand.

Going around, the research institute is the core leadership of the entire base city.

However, just when everyone thought the dust had settled, the mayor and all the officials suddenly raised their voices and questioned the research institute, reprimanding the research institute for its devoid of humanity, pointing out that besides distributing the "improved vegetables" to the No. [-] temporary base, Some vegetables with "unknown effects" were also mixed with daily food and distributed to the people in the base city, asking them to stop the persecution of ordinary civilians in the base city.

All of a sudden, ordinary people in the entire base city were in an uproar. Who would have thought that when they were relieved, the food distributed by the soldiers would still be "improved vegetables" that could kill them at any time?

The base city was excited again, and the civilians in the base city who had already resigned to their fate gathered again, followed the mayor, and demanded an explanation from the unscrupulous research institute.

On August [-]th of the first year of the base city calendar, the mayor led a crowd to threaten the scientific research building. On this day, the base city's supernatural beings led by the mayor also officially appeared on the stage.
