Copy Three
The first batch of relief supplies arrived on time three days later.
As soon as the volunteers arrived at the thief's doorstep, the thief's supplies were directly intercepted by some residents.
The incident caused a sensation and was on the local news list. A group of "loving" people emerged in the comment section and began to feel sorry for the thieves who were robbed.
Several neighbors of the thief flooded the comment section, saying: If we hadn't discovered his theft, we would be the ones starving to death now! Holy Mother and Father, I hope you will die soon and be reborn soon!
Various values were expressed in the comment section for a while, but in the end, these extreme moral values disappeared after the first batch of supplies lasted only a few days.
Neighbors began to scramble for the few remaining supplies, and a few families who had been trying hard to maintain an image of generosity became the first choice for fighting for supplies.
At first, there were security guards to maintain order, but heavy rains that lasted for more than half a month paralyzed all facilities on the island. There was an increasing shortage of manpower, and no one had the time to care about the petty conflicts of humans.
As long as no one is killed, even a bloody head is just a minor injury in the face of a natural disaster.
As a result, most residents kept their doors and windows closed for days on end, and even volunteers had to carry a knife with them at all times when they went out to protect their lives.
Until today, it has been the 19th day since the heavy rain and bloodbath on Crescent Island.
A group of people blocked the entrance of Su Wanxing's house.
Everyone was wearing raincoats and holding umbrellas. They were all thin and looked mentally depressed due to not having enough food for days, with thick dark circles on their faces.
"Protest! International Biogenetics Corporation is cutting down trees indiscriminately and destroying the environment, and is currently developing a seaside park! According to insiders, the seaside park will still open in half a month! We must resist capital! Protect our homeland!"
"Oppose the opening of the seaside park——"
"Defend our home—"
Although everyone looked listless, they were quite passionate during the protest.
Su Wanxing was a little confused by everyone's actions at first, but then when he saw his mother arguing with her on the phone, he suddenly reacted.
My mother is the vice president of a biological company, so naturally, the residents in the community regard her as a nearby target for venting their anger.
Originally, Dad was preparing to go out and talk patiently to the residents, but Mom hung up the phone, snatched the broom from Dad, rushed out the door, and without saying a word, raised the broom and swept the mouths of these people.
The leader who was the first to be hit was stunned by the musty smell on the broom. When he came to his senses, his head was buzzing and he heard a super angry roar: "Get out!!"
Without any explanation, my mother just used a broom to chase away the whole group of people without any hesitation.
The three children who were standing in the room stared at each other, not daring to move.
Mom turned and went into the house, and only Dad reacted in time and took a towel to help Mom wipe the rain.
The anger in my mother instantly subsided, and she said as if nothing had happened: "Come on, let's play mahjong!"
Su Wanxing: “…”
During this period, the competition for supplies outside has become increasingly fierce, but no one dares to steal from Su Wanxing's house, probably because her family is large and powerful, and she also has a big white snake thicker than her wrist.
The supplies stored at home were slowly decreasing. Su Wanxing would sometimes secretly stuff a piece of meat or a bundle of vegetables into the refrigerator when the family wasn't paying attention. If the quantity was small, it wouldn't be discovered.
Nowadays, most people collect rainwater for washing and try to use the limited daily supply of water for cooking. Su Wanxing's family is no exception.
She took on the task of collecting rainwater every day, but in fact she was secretly collecting the water from a source that cost 50Q game coins into the basin. A large amount of money had already been spent, so it would be a waste if she didn't use it!
Although there are quarrels outside all day long, there is currently peace at home.
There was fish, meat, vegetables and fruits every day. With his father's careful combination, Su Wanxing accidentally gained another three pounds.
After all, she has been in this world for more than a month. Apart from searching for martial arts videos online for exercise at home every day, she has never run like crazy like she did when she encountered a tsunami or earthquake. It can be said that she has lived a very comfortable life.
My mother has had a lot easier time at work recently. Maybe it’s true as the protesters say, the seaside park is about to open, so the company affairs are no longer busy.
Su Wanxing asked directly about her mother's job, but her mother refused to tell her. Even her father told Su Wanxing not to ask any more questions.
Curiosity aside, Su Wanxing cherishes his life so much that he knows very well that curiosity kills the cat.
As for her sister, she has either been sitting in front of the computer with a gloomy face or typing frantically on her phone in the past few days. What Su Wanxing finds strange is not that her sister is addicted to the Internet, but that her sister's state is somewhat similar to hers.
Su Wanxing couldn't quite describe the feeling of empathy, but compared to her parents and brother who were content with the status quo, her sister and she were in a very anxious state.
Su Wanxing’s urgency is that she doesn’t know what will happen next and how to escape from Crescent Island?
And what is the reason for my sister's urgency?
Su Wanxing's speculations were all wiped out by the outburst of public opinion on the Internet.
The group of protesters who were driven away by their mother jointly wrote a letter to denounce the illegal development of the seaside park.
Soon after, in order to gain traffic, various marketing accounts risked their lives to upload videos of residents fighting for supplies, which caused the entire network to forward and discuss them.
They say that Crescent Island’s today is Star B’s tomorrow!
Of course, this article contains some exaggerations, but it also contains some facts, at least it really attracted the attention of biological companies.
Because the biological company has announced that the seaside park will be opening soon, but the protesters have spread the news about what happened to Crescent Island. After seeing this, which tourist would dare to easily go to the island?
For this reason, the biological company conducted public relations overnight, and Su Wanxing even heard the hum of a ship setting sail while he was sleeping late that night.
The next day, a large amount of supplies fully funded by an international biological company were delivered to every resident in the early morning drizzle.
The article that denounced biological companies for destroying the environment disappeared from the entire Internet.
The news of looting of supplies has become a survival drill for residents to prepare for natural disasters.
For several days in a row, Su Wanxing could clearly hear something being sent into the sky and the sound of a loud explosion at home. Gradually, the heavy clouds dissipated and the heavy rain turned into a drizzle.
The rain finally stopped.
"That's the 'rain bomb,'" said sister Pei Wei, looking up at the sky. "In order to ensure the smooth opening of the seaside park, the biological company launched more than a thousand excessive artificial ice cores to artificially intervene and stop the rainstorm."
More than a thousand? Su Wanxing was shocked. "Sister, what is the selling point of Seaside Paradise?"
Su Wanxing read a lot of news and reviewed a lot of reports. The gimmicky seaside park only showed the exquisite structure of the park.
What is it that can attract hundreds of billions of dollars?
Pei Wei lowered her eyes, staring at him with a complicated look, and said vaguely while hesitating, "The focus is not on the paradise."
Su Wanxing turned her head and watched her sister leaving, so... it was by selling synthetic genes?
What kind of gene is it that is worth tens of millions of dollars?
More than a thousand rain-scattering bombs were quite effective. Within a few days, the heavy rain turned into light rain, and the light rain turned into cloudy. The order on Crescent Island was restored, water and electricity were uninterrupted, students went to school as usual, and workers went to work as usual.
The people who had robbed the thief's supplies some time ago now put on friendly smiles. The thief was skinny, but he still smiled and greeted every neighbor.
The neighbors who had fought each other for supplies became one family again, as if the broken mirror could be put together again in the hypocritical human beings.
Human beings always forget the pain once the wound has healed.
The protesters are now praising the biotechnology company for its feat of saving the island single-handedly.
The joint letter to defend the homeland signed by more than a hundred people had long been torn into pieces, scattered in the wind and rain, and slowly forgotten as the natural disaster quietly passed away.
On the first day back to school, the teacher looked solemn and sighed repeatedly while standing on the podium.
"Dear students, the teacher needs to reiterate this. Yellow and green are beautiful colors and should not be given dirty connotations."
The teacher sighed heavily, "I'm very sorry. Gao, a student in our class, was deeply poisoned by patriarchal ideas. He openly slandered women, spread rumors, and attempted to destroy the reputation of a female classmate with his dirty thoughts. This student has been expelled from school and sent to a youth moral education center for re-education. I hope every student will take this as a warning."
Well done! Su Wanxing cheered inwardly.
Although she didn't remember who Gao was, there were countless boys like him in the original world. However, their actions were usually just laughed off by the public, and ultimately all the causes and consequences were attributed to the victim-blaming theory.
"Okay, everyone, let's get back to business. I have good news! There will be no class today!"
The classroom was filled with excitement. “Yeah——”
"Teacher, I just received news that the Seaside Park is opening today. All teachers and students of Crescent Island will be invited to serve as the Chief Experience Officer of the Seaside Park. Tickets are free and all projects are free to play!"
"Great!!!" The students were very excited.
Only Su Wanxing felt vaguely that something was wrong. As the saying goes, there is no free lunch in the world. Why did he feel uneasy as if he was about to give away his life?
15 school buses were parked neatly at the entrance of the Seaside Park. There were 20 school buses originally, but now only 15 are left. In that sandstorm, all the buses were scrapped and the people were also killed.
Only after Su Wanxing got off the car did he witness the huge size of the seaside park.
If the residential and industrial areas are on the inner circle of the crescent, then the seaside park is located on the outer circle of the crescent, which is equivalent to being on the other side of the mountains.
When we arrived at the entrance of the park, special staff led all the teachers and students to the sightseeing bus.
The sightseeing bus is a tram that runs along tracks. It looks like a fully enclosed transparent glass cover, but it is made to look like a car.
Su Wanxing sat on it. When he lowered his head, he could clearly see the dust on the ground through the cover. It felt like he was walking on a glass plank road.
Soon, all the teachers and students took their seats, the tram started, and the track slowly rose. It was really a bit like riding a roller coaster, but not as thrilling as a roller coaster, and it traveled very slowly throughout the whole journey.
As the altitude increases, the surrounding greenery becomes more and more abundant, giving the illusion of entering a tropical rainforest canyon.
The first thing that caught Su Wanxing's attention was the lush ferns, the most conspicuous of which was the bracken.
It may not seem surprising, but the Glossopteris, Cycas benthamiana, and Alsophila that appear one after another are growing lushly and obviously do not resemble creatures that live in the dry climate of the island.
Looking at these ancient plants, Su Wanxing couldn't help but think of the word "Jurassic". These ferns and gymnosperms are ancient organisms from the Jurassic period.
Then, pine, cypress, ginkgo and metasequoia came into view, a few bees flew and danced, a large number of angiosperms appeared, and gymnosperms gradually faded from sight.
Su Wanxing suddenly realized that this slow tour track seemed to simulate the vegetation evolution process from the Jurassic period to the Cretaceous period.
The emergence of bees in the Cretaceous period led to the rapid reproduction of angiosperms.
so……
A terrible and bold guess flashed through Su Wanxing's mind.
Suddenly, a low and strange groan was heard, and a huge creature raised its long neck, confirming Su Wanxing's guess!
