Chapter 802: Wucheng at Minus Sixty Degrees
This is the deduction of virtual currency. The currency is deducted before getting on the bus, just like on a bus. This is also to prevent fare evasion. Jingshu is a villain first and a gentleman later, and she will not give the people of the last days any chance to take advantage of her.
The people who came to experience it didn't feel uncomfortable. Instead, they walked into the Hulk's body with a sense of novelty, hunched over and randomly found a fixed seat to sit down - the seat was two long strips protruding from the body. Although it was a bit crowded, it didn't matter too much.
Shielded from the heavy snow outside, the carriage made of long fur balls inside and outside the Hulk's body seemed warm and grey. When it was full of people and there was no more room, the Hulk slowly shut up and walked towards the designated place.
The Hulk walks differently from ordinary creatures. Ordinary creatures use their feet, but the Hulk uses the mucus under his abdomen as his feet. He sticks completely to the snow and rolls quickly, and his speed is really not slow.
Normally, it would take a long time to walk a few kilometers in this weather where the roads were blocked by heavy snow, but in the eyes of the Hulk, there is no such thing as a blocked road. As long as there is something touching, it is called a road, no matter whether it is vertical or has obstacles. They believe that the straight line is the shortest distance, and they will just roll over any obstacle they encounter.
This was really tough for those who were experiencing the ride for the first time. At first they were chatting curiously, saying how warm it was and how fast the ride was. But after a while, it was like riding a roller coaster, going up and down. By the time people arrived at the station, they were all staggering and dizzy from the shaking.
“It’s just a little bumpy!”
"Is that a bit dizzy? Ugh~ I almost vomited!" Thinking that the food was too expensive, the person who spoke had spit it out to his mouth, but swallowed it back abruptly. That sour feeling...
So the most common experience report on this first day was how many people vomited...
Okay, Jingshu accepted it humbly, and the next day she asked the green giants controlled by Xiaolu to be more cautious.
After the Hulk started its trial operation, Jingshu shifted her focus, because now is not the best time to develop the Hulk bus. 80% of the people do not have virtual currency to ride it, and they are still hovering on the poverty line. The whole country is also in famine, and only formal workers have the money to enjoy this means of transportation.
Therefore, Jingshu had no plans to expand the bus service or routes. The focus should be on how many people are willing to pay the Hulk to carry their belongings or ride on it during migration. At this point, the bus is just a pawn, planting a seed for the market.
At that time, Jingshu's family will take these Hulks with them to move the household supplies and blend in with them so that no one can notice. The migration must be low-key. Although they are not afraid of trouble, it is not good to be targeted.
As the day of migration draws closer, the news about Wucheng is kept secret more and more tightly. Only those with connections at the highest level know that they are about to migrate the entire city!
The snow was getting heavier and heavier, almost covering and swallowing up everything. Wucheng, the original central city, was flooded in the second year because it was a basin. In the third year, an earthquake collapsed countless buildings. In the fourth year, it was eroded by mudslides. Now it was completely covered by the heavy snow. The pictures taken by the drone with strong light showed only a few tall buildings with snow tips, and the rest were a vast expanse of white.
The temperature is getting lower and lower, so low that you will freeze to death if you go out, unless you wear three layers of clothes inside and outside. Sixty degrees below zero is close to the limit temperature of the human body. Before the end of the world with abundant resources, there is a complete heating system, so there is no big problem.
But now... the town government has also adopted an emergency heating strategy. Fuel is in short supply, and natural gas and other energy sources must be supplied to the artificial sun to produce food, so what else can be done?
Long-wool products were in short supply, with a penetration rate of less than one in ten. The town government lent money in advance and collected some cold-resistant items from everywhere to make do. Since every household could not afford heating, they all gathered together for unified heating to at least prevent fewer people from freezing to death.
Ordinary people don’t understand the seriousness of the matter at this moment. They only know that the whole country has ushered in great news. After countless people starved to death in various places, a new type of food has finally been invented. That is giant food. It will be sold at the Wucheng Worm Cake Factory from now on, and the price is only slightly more expensive than worm cakes!
Compared to the synthetic meat that only the middle class can afford, and the poor can only eat insect cakes, now there is a huge synthetic meat that the petty bourgeoisie can also afford.
Food, and meat!
This means that people will no longer starve to death, and there will be more food choices. It also means that the saved resources can be used for other things.
There are only a few hot topics in Wucheng recently. Those who have spare money are willing to experience the Hulk bus or buy some meat that is as weird as cells.
"This meat tastes like wood when chewed, even woodier than the worst chicken breast. If it weren't for the salt, I would have thought I was chewing wood."
"Honestly, it's not much better than worm cakes. Why is it a little more expensive than worm cakes?"
"Some of it is good to eat. At least it's real meat. It's better than worm cakes that are just shells and rubber bands. It's more filling."
"Synthetic meat is still delicious."
"If you ask me, buy more quickly. If you have food in hand, you won't be panicked. Who knows what we'll face next?"
Ordinary people have not felt it, only some formal workers have felt it. In the past, vegetables and white flour were distributed as welfare, but these foods have not been distributed for a long time recently.
What's even more strange is that all the good food on the market has disappeared. No one is selling it, and no one is shouting. In the past, there would always be some sausages or canned food flowing out of the black market, but now all these things have disappeared.
Some alert people immediately sensed something was wrong.
"Is something going to happen?"
"Let's buy some synthetic meat while we still have some virtual currency. I'm afraid that after a while, even synthetic meat won't be available for sale!"
"Something is probably brewing up there, so let's prepare early."
The atmosphere in Jingshu's family has been quite tense recently. As time approaches, everyone feels like a stone is pressing on their hearts. No one has an idea of what the future holds, and they can only keep making various preparations.
Jingshu has packed up all the unused things. The next step is to prepare various supplies that may be needed on the road. This is a very tedious but very happy process. Taking inventory of supplies and making preparations like a hamster are the things that Jingshu feels most fulfilled about after her rebirth.
For breakfast every day, Jingshu thought of dozens or even hundreds of set meals. As the saying goes, eat well in the morning and have a full lunch, so the morning meal must be nutritious, but also simple and fast.
For example, milk and eggs are necessary, but the milk can be made into milk powder, and then brewed, and the eggs can be vacuum-packed. For another example...
