Rebirth: I can easily control the end-of-the-world game

Chapter 370 [Xingqi City] 19

"oasis!"

“What an oasis!”

"Wuwuwu...cough cough—"

"Come on, hold on a little longer."

Jin Wanbai held the child's hand and licked her dry lips. At first, she was holding the child, but later, when she had no strength left, the child took the initiative to get down and walk slowly with her in order to reduce the burden. What made Jin Wanbai glad was that because the child was still young, she always carried some snacks to grind her teeth. There were not many, but they became life-saving food for her and the child during these three days.

Taking advantage of the noise, Jin Wanbai squatted down, hugged the child, and stuffed the last piece of candy into his mouth. She whispered in his ear with a hoarse voice, "Be good, baby. We'll be at the oasis soon. Just hold on a little longer."

"Yeah," the child replied weakly. The candy that he had once considered unpalatable now made him cherish it even more. He held it in his mouth with great care, "Mom, I won't be picky about food anymore..."

Jin Wanbai touched his soft hair, squatted for a while, and when she felt strong again, she pulled the child and continued to move forward.

Although the oasis looks very close, it is still quite a distance away and it will take most of the day to walk there.

However, this oasis looked far away, but as Jin Wanbai walked with the child, it felt like they had reached the edge of the forest in just over ten minutes. She stopped in a daze, feeling that she had been thinking about a lot of things in her mind.

Big and small, it was as if she was back in Xingqi City, and suddenly back to her childhood. Even the time when she was a child secretly eating candies while her parents were sleeping flashed through her mind... Jin Wanbai shook her head, dispelling the memories in her mind, hope appeared in her eyes, and she continued to move forward with her child.

The moment he stepped onto the wet grass and felt the cool scent of the plants, Jin Wanbai looked dazed, "I..."

She actually persevered, encountered a terrorist attack, and finally escaped from Xingqi City with her child at a desperate gamble. She also walked such a long distance for three days while starving before finally reaching the oasis. If this person was not Jin Wanbai herself, she would definitely think it was a joke, and that it was fake news made up by those scammers to attract people's attention.

Jin Wanbai wanted to cry, but her body had no tears left. The energy and spirit that had kept her going all the way had collapsed by half. Jin Wanbai then realized how weak her body was. She licked her lips, and after realizing that there were people in the oasis, she forced herself to restrain the urge to squat down and pick some grass to fill her stomach.

Jin Wanbai was so excited about meeting someone that she didn't realize that although they had come together in a large group, everyone except her and her son had disappeared from her side. Looking back, she could see faint silhouettes of people moving around.

Soon, Jin Wanbai and many other survivors who came in were discovered.

Recently, the area of ​​the oasis has been expanded a lot by Huahua, but since everyone knew the news, it has been difficult to continue working in the oasis with peace of mind. During the daily exercise time, there are always many people strolling to the edge of the oasis. Although they cannot see Xingqi City here and only see the endless yellow earth, which does not make them feel at ease, it is better than staying in the oasis and waiting anxiously.

Therefore, the people who appeared one after another at the edge of the oasis were immediately discovered by this group of people who were strolling around.

"It seems like there is someone?!"

"Are they wanderers from the wasteland? We finally have an oasis, so it's normal for them to gather here. We're just looking for people, so we can keep them here."

"No, what they're wearing... seems to be Xingqi City's clothes?"

"what?"

The group of people who had made their own walkie-talkies and could communicate nearby were instantly drawn to the question, "Who is it? Male or female? Have you seen my family?!"

As soon as they mentioned that they were from Xingqi City, and even that there was a high possibility of meeting their families among these people, everyone's actions instantly became much faster. Not long after, Jin Wanbai and others were brought to the center of the oasis. Because they had taken in wanderers before, although they were very concerned at the moment, when they saw the few Xingqi City civilians who came in like refugees, everyone was considerate and gave them food first. After giving them a bath, they couldn't wait to ask them questions.

"What happened to Xingqi City? Were there many casualties in the attack on the outer city?"

"Why did you leave Xingqi City? And walk so far?"

"Is there anyone else here? The internet here is terrible. A piece of news takes ages to load..."

Jin Wanbai drank a bottle of nutrient solution. Because she hadn't eaten for a long time, her stomach was not suitable for eating food directly, so she took the nutrient solution that was better absorbed and digested by the body. Because she had a child with her, she was placed more carefully out of sympathy for the woman and child.

After Jin Wanbai mentioned the name of a person working here, Qin Chuanbai, and discovered that she was a family member of an employee, everyone became even more anxious. The disaster in the news was happening right in front of them, leaving everyone a little confused for a moment.

Although in my impression, the outer city of Xingqi City is indeed a bit bad, but it is not as bad as this.

"In the end what happened?"

Jin Wanbai recounted the story from the beginning, from the explosion outside, to the capture of all the bionic police officers, to her and her child hiding at home, then hearing the sharp, grinding sound of metal, discovering a gaping hole in the city wall, and how, amidst the bloodbath, she followed the crowd and made a quick decision, driving the maglev car for a distance, only to be shot down along the way. Then, she ran out, covering her child's mouth, and followed the crowd along the grassy path to find this place...

Listening to Jin Wanbai's choked voice, everyone was truly silent.

The darkness of Xingqi City seems to be recognized by people from outside the city, but since the fangs have never been torn out and the blade has never hit their necks, everyone just accepts it in a muddled way and it is not a bad thing to live like this.

But now, the knife is really coming, but what's the use of resisting?

In front of the government, in front of those huge numbers of bionic people, in this mechanical age, the power of individuals is so small. Are they supposed to wander like those people in the wilderness?

After all, they work together. In the past few days, the people of Xingqi City have also heard about the rebels. No, after learning about them, they found out that they didn’t know what rebels were at all. On the contrary, there were many bionic bodies controlled by people coming out of Xingqi City that hunted and killed them.

When both sides checked their accounts, they both felt that life was extremely bleak.

But at least the living conditions in Xingqi City are better than those in the wilderness. Now, this false comfort has been torn apart. What should they do?

Everyone knows how terrible the outside world is, but the government holds the lifeline of people in its hands. This is an exclusive monopoly.

"...Well, I've studied the terms and conditions. It seems that the botanical garden isn't affiliated with Xingqi City; it exists independently. Oasis Group is simply collaborating with them..."

The person who spoke pushed up his glasses and, under the gloomy gazes of the crowd, lowered his voice. "...Well, anyway, if the botanical garden is completed, we, as the first pioneers, can enjoy priority residency rights... This is all in the contract..."

At the end of her speech, her voice completely fell silent, and she thought silently in her heart, don’t people read the contract? Why are they looking at her like this? Wuwuwu...
