Chapter 165 Change



The pet craze in Fengcheng has not yet faded, and a new wave of tourism has arrived.

Although all the major mainstream media in China suppressed reports on the changes in Fengcheng, people who were on business trips, tourists, people who accidentally passed by Fengcheng, and people who had close ties with the residents of Fengcheng all learned about the changes in Fengcheng from various channels. One person spread ten, ten spread a hundred, and all kinds of gossip were flying around. Some said that Fengcheng was transformed by alien technology, and some said that Fengcheng was a sacred place for cultivation in mythology... No matter how absurd the rumors were, the core content could not escape the improvement of the human body by the changes in Fengcheng's environment. For this reason, waves of people flocked to Fengcheng, wanting to take a look at this legendary city in person.

Peng Jing was one of the first tourists to arrive in Fengcheng.

Two years ago, Peng Jing graduated from Fengcheng University of Science and Technology and returned to her hometown. Although she left Fengcheng, her four years of college life still made her full of affection for Fengcheng. Of course, no matter how beautiful the memory is, Peng Jing remembers that Fengcheng's sky is always gray, the water is dark green, and the air is full of floating dust. No matter spring, summer, autumn or winter, the wind blows and there is dirt everywhere, and there is no way to avoid it. The professor at the school told her that this is the unavoidable pain of the development of heavy industrial cities. Unless the industry is transformed, the environment will only continue to deteriorate like this.

For this reason, Peng Jing gave up the opportunity to stay in school after graduation and returned to her hometown to become a junior high school teacher. She thought the environment in Fengcheng would always be the same, but since the beginning of this spring, everything seems to have changed. Peng Jing found that many of her classmates who stayed in Fengcheng suddenly had a new hobby - posting photos. The photos they took were of the residential area where they live, the unit where they work, or just a casual shot while walking on the road. No matter which one, the sky in the photo is blue as if it has been washed, and a corner of the photo must have a strong and vibrant green.

Peng Jing heard her good friend Keke who stayed at the school excitedly say that Fengcheng is now very different from before. The sky is blue, the water is clear, and there are all kinds of green plants everywhere. The whole Fengcheng is like a large botanical garden. Keke's description attracted Peng Jing, and coupled with Keke's mysterious description of the evolutionary ability, Peng Jing immediately bought a plane ticket to Fengcheng, intending to personally experience everything Keke said.

From the moment she left the airport, Peng Jing felt that her eyes were not enough to see. Compared with men, the flowers and plants outside were obviously more attractive to women. Peng Jing kept taking pictures all the way. She felt that she had completely forgotten this city, a city surrounded by greenery.

The taxi driver treated Peng Jing as a guest who was visiting Fengcheng for the first time, and he enthusiastically explained things to her all the way. Peng Jing listened with a smile, and a sense of pride welled up in her heart. Half an hour later, the driver dropped Peng Jing off at the entrance of the University of Science and Technology, and even gave her two yuan less in change.

"It's not easy for a little girl to go out, so just erase the zero."

"Thank you, Master."

Peng Jing saw the driver off and turned around to hear her good friend Coco calling her.

"Peng Jing is here."

Peng Jing ran over happily. Ke Ke was standing at the school gate in a green dress, waving at her, holding a yellow kitten in her arms.

"So cute." Peng Jing saw the kitten at first sight. She carefully touched the kitten and asked excitedly: "Keke, can you communicate with it? Is it the mysterious ability you told me about on the phone?"

Coco burst into laughter and shook her head. "Its name is Naian, and I just adopted it. Do you remember? There used to be a stray big yellow cat behind our dormitory, and Naian is the big yellow cat's child. A few days ago, Dahuang was adopted by our department head, and I had a lot of trouble to get Naian. Naian and I are still in the stage of getting to know each other, and we haven't developed that kind of ability yet. But in fact, it doesn't matter whether it has the ability or not, look how cute Naian is. To be honest, I also hoped that it would have that kind of ability when I first adopted it, but after raising it for a few days, I really like it, and it doesn't matter whether it has the ability or not."

Coco tapped the little yellow cat's nose and said affectionately, "Cream, don't you think so?"

Cream: Meow~

Peng Jing's heart melted as she watched the well-behaved little kitten.

Coco took her arm and said, "Come on, I'll take you around the school and see the new sights of our school."

"What scene?"

"You'll know when you get there." Coco kept it a secret.

Fengcheng University of Science and Technology used to have good greenery, and now the environment is surprisingly good. Peng Jing looked all the way and saw that the teaching buildings, office buildings, dormitory buildings, and playgrounds were almost covered with lush green plants. Ke Ke introduced: "Now there are green shades everywhere, and the classrooms are also very cool. This year, the air conditioner has not been turned on at all. The logistics director is very happy, saving a lot of electricity expenses."

Peng Jing smiled, took a deep breath, and said intoxicatedly: "The air is so beautiful."

Keke nodded, "Now that the air is better, more students are doing morning exercises. Almost no one sleeps in. They either exercise in the playground or run around the school. They live a healthy life. The attendance rate of the first class has really improved a lot." What she said evoked Peng Jing's memories of school. The two were walking and talking when they heard a whirring sound above their heads. Peng Jing subconsciously looked up and opened her mouth in surprise. Above their heads, a large group of birds circled and flew past, disappearing into the grove in front.

Peng Jing could see clearly that the members of the bird flock were mixed. There were birds she didn't recognize, as well as common parrots, starlings, magpies and the like. It was roughly estimated that there were thousands of them.

"arrive."

Keke led Peng Jing around the rockery and faced the grove. In front of the grove, Mr. Xie, the head of the school's mathematics department, was talking to a parrot perched on his shoulder with a smile, "Xiaolu, take everyone to fly another one."

The parrot called Xiaolu pecked Mr. Xie's ear and chirped. The flock of birds in the woods then flew out, circled around Mr. Xie in the air, and flew back into the woods.

Peng Jing was simply stunned.

Keke smiled and said, "How is it? Mr. Xie has become a new attraction in our school. Every day when he doesn't have classes, he comes here to play with the birds. He is happy and everyone is happy watching him. Don't be fooled by the large number of birds here, they all have owners. Even a few inconspicuous little sparrows have been numbered and claimed by the naughty freshmen. I don't know how they can tell them apart. Every noon, they come here with small cups to feed the birds in a serious manner, saying things like Sparrow One, Sparrow Two, etc."

Peng Jing imagined the scene and laughed so hard that she couldn't straighten her back. She looked around with emotion, "It's only been two years since I graduated, and there have been so many changes. How do you think all this happened?"

Coco touched the cream in her arms and said seriously, "I don't know how all this happened, but I like this change very much. Regardless of the evolution and abilities rumored outside, this environment alone is enough to make me grateful for everything. I just hope to do my best to protect the current environment and not destroy it again in the hands of our generation."

Coco's thoughts were also the thoughts of most residents in Fengcheng. The social unrest that the expert group worried about did not happen, and there was no conflict between the evolved and non-evolved. As for the ability of humans and animals to communicate, those who did not have it only envied it and hoped that they would have it one day in the future. Compared with this ability, everyone was more concerned about the environment of Fengcheng. Everyone understood that whether it was evolution or ability, the improvement of the environment was the prerequisite for everything.

Everyone has voluntarily started to protect the surrounding environment. Without the supervision of the environmental protection department, all small steel mills in the suburbs that failed to meet the emission standards have stopped production. The owners and employees of these steel mills are also the beneficiaries of Fengcheng's environmental changes, and they have also truly enjoyed the benefits of this change. The smart steel mill owners are already planning to close the steel mills and open farmhouses. With the magical changes in Fengcheng, this place will inevitably become a tourist destination across the country and even the world.

While everything in Fengcheng was thriving, the busiest and most chaotic people should be the police in Fengcheng. Because of the influx of tourists, the police in Fengcheng had to suspend all their shifts and all went to work to maintain order. As a heavy industrial city, Fengcheng had no experience in receiving a large number of tourists. After a few days of confusion at the beginning, everyone gradually adapted to it.

It was several days later that Yan Yue received a call from Fang Lei.

"Yan Yue, I've been really screwed by you."

Fang Lei tilted his head and held the phone between his legs, cursing Yan Yue while frying fish for Xiao Hui in a frying pan. After working overtime for a week and being on call 24 hours a day and unable to leave the police station, Fang Lei finally managed to get a day off to go home and see Xiao Hui, the cat uncle.

As expected, Xiao Hui scratched him twice as soon as they met, as revenge for being left behind for a week. Fang Lei held Xiao Hui and coaxed him for a long time, not even taking time to take a bath. He quickly helped Xiao Hui take a bath, and then started to fry small fish for it. Now, while frying fish, Fang Lei finally caught Yan Yue and scolded him.

"What did I do to you?"

Yan Yue pushed back and refused to admit anything. He listened to Fang Lei's complaints with a smile and changed the subject, "I heard that because there are too many tourists pouring in, Fengcheng has begun to strictly check temporary residence permits and limit the length of stay of tourists. Have you received any news?"

Fang Lei gloated a little, "Yan Yue, you don't have a Fengcheng hukou yet, right?"

It is foreseeable that in the future, a Fengcheng household registration will be more valuable than a Zhongjing household registration.

Yan Yue chuckled, "It was inconvenient before, but now it's just the right time to move my household registration here and transfer it together with Xiaoxi."

"Then you better hurry up, or it might be hard to process after a while. The temporary residence permit you just asked about is definitely going to be checked, but the length of time tourists can stay has not been determined yet. The higher-ups have suppressed the proposal, probably because they are afraid that tourists will cause trouble."

Of course, if there are still so many tourists, the authorities should ruthlessly limit the length of stay of tourists, otherwise Fengcheng will definitely not be able to bear it. For example, there is no place to stay in Fengcheng. Now all the available places are full, and if more people come, they will really have to set up tents on the street.

Fang Lei got a headache just thinking about this scenario. The police would be the ones who would suffer. As the thought flashed through his mind, he gritted his teeth again. This time, he was really screwed by Yan Yue.

Yan Yue listened to Fang Lei's grinding teeth and hung up the phone with a smile. To be honest, it was a bit risky for him to release the expert group's investigation materials this time, but it was indeed the best way to muddy the waters. If he allowed the expert group to suppress this matter and investigate slowly in secret, he would inevitably worry that Xiaoxi's identity would be exposed. Although he had made a lot of arrangements since last year, it was better to disrupt the pace of the expert group for safety reasons.

Now the whole country's attention is on Fengcheng. The expert group no longer has the leisure time they had before. They must find a reason for the changes in Fengcheng as soon as possible, and he has already prepared this reason for them.
