Chapter 369 [Xingqi City] 18
Botanical Garden, yes, the project that Oasis Group participated in was called Botanical Garden. Although everyone privately murmured that the name sounded low-class, but looking at the lush and verdant plants everywhere, which made them feel happy at just a glance, they felt that it was inexplicably appropriate.
As for why it is not called something like Hope, it is very simple, because Feng Lan is not prepared to take on anyone's hope, and people always have to save themselves.
Entering the outer city again, the number of people on the streets was frighteningly smaller than before. Under the cold white light of the artificial sun, not a single person could be seen on the deserted streets for a long time. Only on the huge electronic screens that could be seen everywhere were charming singers singing beautiful and melodious tunes.
"The lights flicker and illuminate the lies of love?
This love in the ruins is as illusory as bubbles..."
Obviously, this cleansing plan was a bit blatant, and coupled with the unexpected players, the chain reaction caused the official credibility to drop to a historical low. The trust of the residents of the outer city in the government can be seen from the sparse number of pedestrians on the streets.
The survivors did not believe all the whitewashed news on the Internet, but under the Internet blockade, the turbulent negative comments disappeared completely. The population of the inner city was also very small, occupying nearly 70% of the area of Xingqi City, but the annual population of the inner city remained at 5,000. In addition to various residential courtyards, there were also large entertainment parks, group work areas, and small buildings where some talented working civilians recruited from the outer city lived.
Although there were mistakes in the decision, the top leaders were not worried. Human life was like grass and could be recovered after some care. However, they did need to take care of the civilians in the outer city in recent years, at least to allow them to reproduce and thrive.
Some people also suggested cloning some of them, but after cloning, they cannot just throw these people away, and they will also need to spend money to intervene later, so it is better to just let them recuperate for a few years.
Everyone agreed to this perfect solution as long as they didn't have to pay for it.
Feng Lan walked around the outer city and didn't see many people. The ones wandering around were bionic people who continued to clean up the details in the corners, or occasionally a surviving bionic animal that jumped out from a shadowy corner, then whooshed into a corner and disappeared.
Feng Lan walked along a street. Most of the shops were closed or had empty signs hanging on them, indicating that the owner of the shop had died and was waiting for a new buyer. Occasionally, there were a few shops with bright lights and people still inside.
Feng Lan walked in and saw that most of the businesses were from the inner city. The largest store was a store selling nutrient solution. Both of the clerks provided service with a uniform smile. When Feng Lan entered, they came over and offered service in a soft voice.
"Hello, how can I help you?"
Feng Lan looked around, shook her head and left, hearing several shop assistants whispering.
"There are so few people in the outer city. Has anything big happened recently?"
"It seems that during the few days we were resting, the rebels came in and killed some people..."
"Oh, I remember now. I think this was mentioned in the news this morning."
"Let's not talk about this anymore. Lina recently released a new movie..."
A pathetic city where even the internet is controlled.
The outer city was deserted, but after Feng Lan entered the inner city, he found that it was not much different from the last time he came. The circular track made a slight noise, which could take people on the road to most places in the inner city. The city was clean and tidy, even the sunlight was warm, and the air was filled with a fresh smell of oxygen.
Arriving at the headquarters of Oasis Group, Feng Lan strengthened the hypnosis effect, but several CEOs told her with embarrassment.
"Due to the failure of this cleansing plan, we temporarily no longer have the authority to continue transporting people out of the city. Furthermore, the inner city also needs a certain population to provide stable services. The higher-ups have decided not to open this project for the next few years..."
The person in charge glanced at Feng Lan and said, "Oga has already reported the situation at the base outside. They have already sent the Bionic Eye to investigate the situation."
Feng Lan understood. It seemed that those unfamiliar players' faces had finally been discovered.
She didn't know about the others, but Feng Lan had completed her first mission. As for the deserted Xingqi City, Feng Lan decided to continue to cause trouble.
The hole in the city wall that was torn open by Bi Ke before has been filled with a layer of basic materials after emergency repairs. After all, there is a steady stream of radiation pouring in from the outside. For these cowardly old men, this is much more important than the population of the outer city.
Even if the money and resources spent overnight are worth tens of billions, they still think it is worth it.
Feng Lan naturally wouldn't let them live their lives in peace like this, so she tossed the Rubik's Cube in her hand.
……
A path paved with lush plants extended from Xingqi City to the botanical garden. Following this inexplicably appeared path, Jin Wanbai and the others trekked smoothly for several days. Finally, they were hungry and thirsty and saw the green pearl dotted in the endless yellow sand.
There was nothing edible in the wilderness, and everyone had escaped from Xingqi City. Not many people would prepare food in advance. Under the threat of survival, even if they stuck together, violence could not be avoided. Jin Wanbai and the child in her arms were obvious vulnerable targets. There were many vulnerable groups like her, and the situation only got a little better after they fought desperately. Of course, this was also because it had been a long time and everyone had no strength left. Needless to say, the difficulty and pain were there.
At this time, the green path on the road was eaten by many people. Jin Wanbai and her children were lucky enough that they did not suffer too many negative effects from the radiation. In the past few days, people fell down one after another, and their bodies were spread out on the side of the road, becoming one of the many corpses in the wasteland, worn away by wind and sand, and eaten by crows.
Jin Wanbai held the child tightly, and occasionally looked at the crows following them along the road with a vigilant look. This group of crows regarded them as food and followed the crowd closely.
In the blink of an eye, another person staggered and fell. Jin Wanbai held the child's hand without calling out or looking over. At this moment when she was almost at her limit, the intense emotions were also a waste of energy.
“Ga-ga-ga-ga”
“Swish, swish, swish—”
Soon, a dense swarm of crows covered the fallen figure.
"arrive!"
Someone exclaimed, Jin Wanbai took a breath, raised his head along the suddenly noisy crowd, and saw the green forest. The wind blowing towards him seemed to bring a hint of coolness and sweetness because of the distant forest.
