Chapter 221: Hope or a False Hope (1/2)



With Wang Qing, a military dependent, as a guarantor, Shi Man and his three companions were able to enter the city smoothly. The alien plant they paid for was a mutant Panax notoginseng that they picked up at random. It was very large and was enough for the four people to enter the city.

However, when the inspector saw the milk in Shi Man's backpack, he asked again, "Is your pet mutated? If it is a mutated pet, there is no entrance fee. If it is an ordinary pet, there will be an additional fee."

Shi Man hugged the milk tightly. Her appearance was very deceptive. She pretended to be scared and it really looked like she was being scared.

Zhou Feifei, the 'big sister', quickly said, "It's evolved! It must have evolved. It's really good at catching mice. We only survived the extreme cold because of it."

The inspector frowned. What kind of mutation is it if it can catch mice? Whose cat can't catch mice?

However, any cat that can survive the extreme cold weather is definitely a little special.

There has been an order from above that if people bring pets, they are not eligible to enter, but pets can enter, and they may become combat beasts in the future.

"Alright, your herbs are big enough, so you're qualified."

Zhou Feifei and Shanmao quickly thanked them. The inspector handed them another flyer, this time with a much more genuine smile: "This is the enlistment form. Remember to fill it out and return it in three days at the latest."

"You have a guarantor. I won't say much about the rest. Let your guarantor introduce you."

Shi Man and the other three expressed their gratitude profusely and entered the base with excitement and the joy of finally seeing hope on their faces.

Wang Qing was waiting for them behind the city wall. When she saw them come in, she said, "Let's go to my house first. Your information has been assigned to me. The house will be given to you after you are confirmed as the candidate for the military service."

It was naturally impossible for him to join the army, but now he was outside, surrounded by people coming in and out, so Wang Qing naturally had to say so openly.

The other three people in the transport team had already gone to deliver the goods, so only Wang Qing was waiting here for Shi Man and the others.

The situation inside the base was actually nothing special. If there was anything special about it, it was that there wasn't a single plant in sight, and the big trees on the roadside had long been cut down, leaving only a deep pit.

There were a lot of people on the street, many of them had smiles on their faces, and some were even standing on the side of the road chatting.

The entire base gives people a feeling of two words: relaxation.

It was like going back to the time before the end of the world. Except for the lack of lights and neon lights, technology seemed to have regressed twenty years. What was left was the atmosphere of a peaceful era.

Shi Man suddenly understood why the puppet army members were full of abnormalities, but Wang Qing and others living in the base did not "discover" them.

Because of the environment.

It was the same in H City at the beginning, boiling the frog in warm water.

However, a large part of H City's environment is created by alien plants. Humans pin their sense of security on the "green network" covering the entire city, but they don't know that those alien plants in the green network are actually a breeding ground created by the Mansonia schistosomiasis.

The Gufang base, at least on the surface, is a city belonging to humans built by humans themselves to fight against natural disasters and alienated plants and animals.

In this city, humans are still the dominant force on the surface.

But what is the reality?

In such an environment, people will lose their vigilance.

After getting on the bus inside the base, the numb feeling of being boiled like a frog in warm water became even stronger.

There were quite a few people sitting on the bus, all with smiles on their faces. Some were talking loudly about what to eat tonight, while others were showing off that their sons had joined the reserve army and had now become squad leaders.
