Chapter 436 Friends Gathering
Yu Jie's offer was very tempting. Xia Xiaoman hesitated for a moment and said, "I need to think about it. I'll get back to you tomorrow."
Organizing the fleet was not something she could decide on her own, she needed to ask for the opinions of Li Yu'e and Sun Qing. People stayed in the underground city and worked hard, although they earned little, their lives could be guaranteed.
You can earn more money by organizing a fleet trip, but the risk factor is high, and if you are unlucky, you may have money but no life to spend it.
After leaving the official headquarters, Xia Xiaoman sent a message to Sun Qing, Li Yu'e and others, asking them to get together at 8 o'clock in the evening.
On the way back to the Science Museum, Xia Xiaoman saw an electronic bulletin board on the roadside broadcasting the situation outside. The sun was shining brightly in the underground city, but outside it was dark and rainy, and there was almost no sign of land.
A halo of light appeared in the dark sky. This halo did not represent hope, but a precursor to the destruction of the ozone layer.
When this halo of light penetrates the clouds and dispels the darkness, it means that the ozone layer has been destroyed. The sun's ultraviolet rays shine directly on the earth, glaciers will melt, plants will find it difficult to grow, and plankton in the ocean will also face death.
The problem of the ozone layer is like a sword hanging over the heads of all human beings. No one knows what will happen to the blue planet after the ozone layer completely dissipates, and whether humans can really live safely in the underground city.
The electronic bulletin board switched pages and played a promotional video about military recruitment.
The authorities also know that it is difficult to promote justice and get survivors to join the army to defend their country, so they focus on promoting the benefits of joining the army to attract survivors to sign up for conscription.
This time, there is no age limit or physical fitness requirement for conscription. Anyone who has taken meteorite liquid can sign up to join the army.
The official military was so anxious to sell the meteorite liquid and recruit a large number of soldiers in order to prepare for the ozone layer problem five days later.
Xia Xiaoman looked at the electronic bulletin, thinking of what Yu Jie said, and her mind was in a mess.
After finally getting off work, Xia Xiaoman took Maodan home early to wait for Li Yu'e and Sun Qing to come.
Before the agreed time came, Sun Qing and Ye Xiaojie came. After a while, Li Yu'e, who heard the noise next door, also called Xiao Zheyu and others to Xia Xiaoman's house.
A group of people crowded into the small living room, all staring at Xia Xiaoman. Sun Qing spoke first: "Xiaoman, you sent a message asking us all to come over, is there something important?"
Xia Xiaoman did not directly mention that Yu Jie asked her to organize a fleet, but asked: "Have you seen the recruitment video played on the bulletin board these two days? Do you have any ideas?"
Sun Qing was stunned for a moment and said, "I looked at the conscription notice and the benefits are not bad. But being a soldier means going out and taking risks frequently. If you are not careful, you may lose your life, so I don't plan to sign up."
Ye Xiaojie hugged Zhao Mingzhu tightly as she moved around in her arms. "After I join the army, I won't be able to take care of Mingzhu anymore."
Xiao Zheyu said, "When you are a soldier, you have to be disciplined by the instructors. I don't like others to discipline me."
If it was before the Lingxu Gang was established, he might have joined the army to make a living. But he has been lazy for several years, and he is unwilling to join the army again.
Su Ran said, "I'll go wherever Sister Yu'e goes." After years of natural disasters, it was difficult for him to trust others easily. Li Yu'e and the others were his most trusted companions. He would not leave the team unless he had to.
Zhou Qiuyang hesitated, "I haven't made up my mind yet." His wife Chen Ya wanted to join the army, thinking that it would be safer to be with the military. He himself was also somewhat tempted, as being in the army meant a stable job without too many worries.
Li Yu'e looked at Wen Ling who was silent beside her, "What about you? Do you want to join the army or continue studying?"
Wen Ling said, "I will go wherever Aunt Yu'e goes." It's not that she has no opinion, but she really wants to stay with Li Yu'e.
Li Yu'e has sacrificed so much for her and her brother. Now that her brother has left, it would be too heartless if she also left Li Yu'e.
Li Yu'e didn't know what she was thinking, she just thought that Wen Ling still depended on her like when they were children.
After thinking for a moment, she looked at Xia Xiaoman and said, "Xiaoman, when you asked us about our thoughts on conscription, are you trying to persuade us to join the army or..."
Xia Xiaoman shook her head. "You should have all taken a bottle of meteorite liquid, right?"
Li Yu'e and the others all nodded. Xia Xiaoman continued to ask, "Do you feel any changes in your body now?"
Xiao Zheyu spoke first: "I feel that my strength has increased a lot, and the most important thing is that the scars on my face seem to have faded a lot. Look, are they lighter?" Xiao Zheyu said as he stretched his neck to reveal half of his face covered with scars.
Xia Xiaoman took a closer look and found that the bumpy scars on Xiao Zheyu's face had become smooth and were not as scary as before.
Su Ran said, "My speed is twice as fast as before."
Sun Qing and Ye Xiaojie also evolved physically. Sun Qing's strength increased a lot, followed by her speed. Ye Xiaojie was the opposite. Her speed increased three times, but her strength was not as great as Sun Qing's.
Li Yu'e's eyesight has improved, and she can now see small characters ten meters away. Her physical fitness has also improved a bit, but it can't compare with Xiao Zheyu and others who have focused on improving their physical fitness.
Wen Ling has undergone changes in her intelligence. She can now understand questions that she did not understand before without the teacher’s instruction by just reading the question types and answers twice.
Zhou Qiuyang felt that he had not changed much. Although his speed and strength had increased a lot, they were not as big as Xiao Zheyu and the others. But his previous hidden injuries were inexplicably healed.
After hearing what Zhou Qiuyang said, Xia Xiaoman took out a dagger and threw it to him, "Your healing ability may have become stronger. Give it a try."
Hearing this, Zhou Qiuyang picked up the knife and lightly cut the back of his hand. Bright red blood immediately gushed out and completely covered the wound.
In order to see the wound more clearly, Xia Xiaoman took a piece of clean cloth and asked him to wipe the wound. Just after wiping the blood around the wound, he found that there was a scab on the surface of the wound.
Li Yu'e was a little surprised. "It scabbed over so quickly. It's amazing!"
Xia Xiaoman said, "Zhou Qiuyang must have been injured frequently in the past, so his body subconsciously evolved the ability to heal."
Hearing this, Xiao Zheyu looked at Xia Xiaoman curiously, "Sister Xiaoman, what is the direction of your evolution?"
Xia Xiaoman shook her head, "I haven't taken the meteorite liquid yet."
Li Yu'e frowned, "You didn't take the meteorite liquid?"
Thinking of how many questions Xia Xiaoman had just asked them, Li Yu'e said with some concern: "Xiaoman, tell me the truth, is there something wrong with the meteorite liquid?"
