Steel Steam and Flame

The rain outside the office is intertwined, and the vision is not blurred, but the driving habits of a few months ago are no longer applicable. Caution and slow speed are the main tone at present. In the initial stage of the rainstorm, traffic accidents did occur frequently. Afterwards, many notifications were issued to reduce the frequency of accidents.

The pattering sound of the raindrops from the top of the limousine has always been accompanied, but the sound of the rain is gradually getting used to it, and it should only be a matter of time before it becomes the background tone of life.

The air circulation system generates heating, and the inside of the limousine is warm. Trinya's small body leans on the angle between the door and the seat, tilts her head, and keeps looking out of the window. The rain pulled out many stream-like bands on the window glass, distorting her vision all the time. But it doesn't prevent the wet and moldy buildings from falling into the eyes.

On both sides of the road, the number of pedestrians is very small. Travelers are also wearing brightly colored raincoats, plus a big umbrella. Fortunately, the relatively cold wind is not strong, but its main feature is that it has been blowing all the time.

The colleagues beside me distributed the prepared materials at this time, and brought a few printed color patterns, which were made by photography enthusiasts, very technical, and a hazy floating shape under the rain curtain, quite a different kind of art feel. If the main scene in the pattern is not the two neat rows of dead trees, maybe it can really touch the lowest level of art.

"Look at it all, don't go in the past and don't know anything." The colleague who distributed the materials said, "Although it is a routine job, if you have to write a report, you still need to take action, so as not to have no materials in the report, and you have to do it again." You will be scolded by the boss."

"Understood, it's enough to put the main responsibility on the hospital and the school in the end. How many times is this?" A lazy voice came from the back seat, "It's the fifth time, isn't it? Four samples give After leaving them, there is no feedback at all, and it is difficult for us. I don’t know what to write.”

"Let's get closer to someone deliberately going out late at night and using special chemical reagents to create panic. The superiors also like to hear this, and think it will be a good opportunity to get credit. As for whether they can solve the case, if they are caught deliberately going out late at night It seems that it has nothing to do with us. But this time it is more than a kilometer long, and it will be troublesome to clean up the withered plants and replant them later.”

"Let the greening company do it and pay more. In the past few months under the heavy rain, their work has been reduced a lot, and all they undertake are indoor greening work. The last time the place withered was in a corner of the park, right? I was the one who connected with them. The work was more tiring than before, but it could be seen that they were very happy.

But,,, have you heard that a new factory is going to be built in the east, which is said to be for soilless cultivation, a factory like a residential building, with at least a dozen floors, to alleviate the vegetable shortage in Minkface City. The supplies out there are no longer sufficient, and lunches have started serving canned food for nearly a month, and it appears to be true. The greening company said that they will go to work there later, and they are all training now. "

"It has been raining for more than ten or twenty days in a row, and it is rare for a day or two to be sunny, and it is still light red. This situation is certain. It has always been said to be a strange celestial event. There is no explanation, it's really suspicious. But the boss has reminded us not to talk about anything about this matter in the past few months. Let's just talk about it and keep our mouths shut outside. "In the passenger seat, the slightly complaining voice turned into a reminder, and he wanted to answer the conversation, but was interrupted by Trinya's surprised voice.

"What's wrong?"

Trinya sat upright, shrunk her head and smiled, held up the information she got, and turned on the light inside the limousine, illuminating the patterns on the information brightly, "This time the withering situation seems to be more serious. Before A few times, the bark was only corroded on the surface. This time, some of the bark was gone, and even the underlying trunk had corroded potholes."

"Here, take a look." She pointed to a position on the pattern, motioning others to look, "This can be written into the report as a new material."

",,,"

"It would be great if this matter can be resolved as soon as possible, but the appearance of the location is not regular. However, the investigation is not our business. It is to help the hospital and the school to bring some samples back and find time to replant new ones. Our job." The man in the passenger seat took up the conversation, "It took an hour to get there, please read more information, and I will take a rest." He was not interested in continuing the discussion, and instead adjusted his seat slightly, Simply closed his eyes and fell asleep.

There were people resting in the limousine, and the conversation suddenly became quieter, and disappeared completely after a few minutes. Trinya leaned back again, and after the lamp was turned off, she managed to read a few pages of information in the dim light, and recorded in her head the photos of the trees on the pattern that looked like they had been corroded by acidic reagents, then sighed, and looked away again. to the window.

Outside, apart from the heavy rain and cold wind, is the difference from before only in the number of traffic and pedestrians? Trinya thought about her diary, thinking that she could write in it again for the afternoon's work.

How long did it take for the drowsiness to strike, Trinya didn't have a clear consciousness. After the limousine car stopped and noises came from her side, she suddenly woke up with a start, her heart beating several times before she completed her spiritual awakening.

"Here we are, let's start working!" Someone shouted pretending to be excited, dispelling the lazy atmosphere in the car due to the warm temperature.

Trinya sat upright, and when she turned her head to look out the window, the car door on the other side had already been opened, and the cold wind came in, causing her to shiver.

The vehicle was parked in front of a small shop selling building materials that was closed, and the shed on the shop was used to keep out the rain so that I could put on my raincoat and take the necessary things. Trinya went to the shed, put on a raincoat and waterproof long shoes in a crowded place, took out a few glass bottles and transparent bags from the back box, and put them in the tool bag prepared in advance. Then I took an umbrella and walked step by step to the four-lane road on the left front.

There is an open shop next to it, and the business is bleak. At this time, the only people who come here are Trinya and the others~www.readwn.com~ It’s like this when I came here in the morning, and it was still fine yesterday evening. The owner of the nearby shop stood at the door and said that when he saw Trinya and the others, he was free, so he also put on his raincoat and shoes, and followed.

"At noon, there were people who came by. Judging from the appearance of the vehicle, it looked like a member of the defense team. But the car didn't get off, so they stopped by the roadside and took a look." The boss continued, saying what he knew, "What the **** is it?" Situation, these trees look a little scary."

On the side of the road, several people talked while walking along the road, taking pictures and observing to see if there was any new situation. After walking more than 200 meters, Trinya chose a place where the heavy rain was sheltered by nearby buildings, and asked her colleagues to help open an umbrella, while she squatted down and took out a glass bottle to collect the necessary samples.

The umbrella was taken by a colleague, and Trinya breathed a sigh of relief. Today she was holding a big umbrella, and the force and sound of the raindrops falling down made her feel a little bit strenuous.

Having accumulated experience from the previous few times, she opened a glass bottle, took out the metal tweezers, and went to the side of the tree pocket to remove some rotten bark. In her sight, there was a small gray-white tender spot near the root of the tree near the soil. Buds burst through the rotting bark, and a small, unfurled leaf was still stained with rain.

Trinya's movements paused, the small bud did not give her a sense of life, but the gray color made her subconsciously feel a kind of nausea.

"New sample." She exhaled, with a voice in her heart. The tweezers stretched out, and were about to pick off the small bud, a low vibration came from the ground without any warning, accompanied by a muffled sound, making several people on the side of the road shake slightly.
