Chapter 196 195. Mutated Animals [ask for monthly ticket]

Huai Yu then became confused again: "I heard from Sister Liang Zhu from the Construction Department that military academies now teach people with special abilities."

"Don't other water-based abilities have this trick?"

Zhou Qian was speechless: "It depends on both talent and personal ability."

"They all studied literature, but some could write the Preface to the Pavilion of Prince Teng, while others couldn't even memorize it... Lin Xuefeng's ability is like this."

"Before he entered the military academy, his water-based abilities had no combat effectiveness at all. Even dehydrating plants quickly was extremely difficult, so most of his abilities were transferred to logistics."

"After he became famous, five types of water-based attacks were written into textbooks, and all of them were lethal."

He paused, and added: "Perhaps after a long time, a more powerful genius will appear. But it has only been six years since the disaster. In these six years, Lin Xuefeng alone has represented the Garrison Army."

"It is said that after he retired due to injury, he was originally scheduled to serve as the principal of the military academy, but the garrison troops were not convinced by General Wu, and even mentioned him all the time..."

These were the bits and pieces of information Zhou Qian had managed to find out after Wu Yue destroyed Huaiyu's house, but because transportation had not yet fully recovered and the internet was restricted in many places, he didn't know much.

He also didn't know whether Lin Xuefeng left the imperial capital and chose the wasteland of Huacheng because of the political strife in the imperial capital, or whether he was tired of it and just wanted to be free...

Huaiyu thought it was natural: "That's normal. Just like in ancient times, when Emperor Taizong of Tang was the emperor, no one wanted to be headed by Wanyan Gou, right?"

This metaphor...

Zhou Qian couldn't help but laugh: "Although it's a bit crude, it makes sense - but Wu Yue is capable."

He pointed to the rose corridor not far away: "He built this barrier under the tree in Huacheng, and it is still protecting us."

Huaiyu frowned, "Why do I feel that the Rose Corridor was not created by him?"

Zhou Qian said seriously: "There is no evidence, so it must be him."

"He once sacrificed his life for his country and his people. Without solid evidence, no one can erase his contributions."

After that, Zhou Qian slowed down his voice again: "Even if the Rose Corridor has nothing to do with him, the garrison troops have a clearing mission every year. It's true that he went through life and death in the wilderness. Even ordinary soldiers can't make such random guesses."

All right.

Huaiyu snorted, reluctantly agreeing with this statement, and then decisively changed the subject: "You haven't told me yet, what exactly are the dangers in other cities?"

These were all common sense questions, so Zhou Qian answered them quickly: "Have you never seen a map? The marginal areas of our country are all connected to special climates. The most common one is the hot and humid climate in the south. The other is high altitude, and the plants have other characteristics, but they are not tall."

"And those places are vast and sparsely populated, so it's easier to clear them out."

"Only in an inland city like our Huacheng, there are vast plains and steep mountains, and the wasteland is right in the center, connecting to 16 cities including our Huacheng in all directions."

"So, at present, the biggest threat to each city lies in the wasteland."

Huaiyu thought for a moment and concluded: "So we are like a big pie now. The place with filling in the middle of the pie is the wasteland. No matter which city or direction you bite from, you will eventually get the filling."

"is that so?"

Zhou Qian: "...You are good at making metaphors."

Huaiyu was proud: "Of course, I told you I was very powerful in the past. Didn't you hear it just now? I also know about the emperors of ancient times."

Zhou Qian: ...Yes, that's amazing, he even knew about the emperors of ancient times. He couldn't even find words to praise him.

At this moment, I could only listen to Huaiyu's questions in silence.

"Plants in the south are afraid of the cold, but plants in the north and in the middle aren't afraid of the cold, are they?"

“I’m afraid too.”

Zhou Qian said: "Of course they are afraid of low temperatures. Except for a few plants that prefer cold weather, most other plants will enter a short dormant period in winter."

"It no longer grows, has no desire to attack, and requires no nutrients."

"But, in the spring of next year, after vernalization, they have an especially strong desire for nutrients. The pollution accumulated in the soil in autumn and winter will be quickly extracted by them, and then the whole plant will become stronger again."

"So, even though it's still difficult to deal with wasteland plants now, for the sake of long-term planning, the country still makes arrangements. Not only will there be several wasteland exploration missions every year, but there will also be another large-scale clearing in winter."

He looked down at his legs and said, "If I hadn't retired, I would have gone into the wilderness again this winter."

Huaiyu thought thoughtfully: "Will the winter strangulation mission be easier to do?"

Zhou Qian shook his head: "The casualty rate is lower in winter."

"And because animals and plants are not very active in winter, most of the animals and plants we cleared can be brought back."

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

"This will make it easier for research institutes to conduct research and find ways to integrate into people's livelihood."

"The new quick-drying materials used to build houses, the creeper on my legs, and the bricks on my well platform... including the special chip materials in the hospital's medical cabin are all closely related to mutant plants."

But everything has its pros and cons.

"But in reality, because it's cold and the soil is frozen, it's difficult to completely eradicate the mutant plants. The task is easy to do, but it only weakens some of the plants. It's impossible to advance slowly from one area to another and completely eliminate them."

Huaiyu had gained a lot of new knowledge today. His brain was working like crazy at the moment, and he suddenly became curious: "There are mutant plants everywhere, but what about the animals? What about the cats and dogs?"

She was a little confused: "Were they all killed when the disaster started?"

"No." Zhou Qian laughed. "If the disaster is localized and people-oriented, animals will certainly be controlled and killed. Because once they mutate beyond the critical value, their lethality is very great."

"But... the catastrophe started suddenly and globally. People, animals, and plants all changed overnight."

"Moreover, most companion animals are emotionally stable and are actually protecting their owners and families in the early stages, so there is even less reason for us to actively make enemies."

"The reason you don't see them often is because animals' abilities improve very quickly after mutation, and accordingly, it's easier for the mutation value to break through the critical point."

"Once they cross the critical point, they will go crazy and mad just like humans, and then die in the fight."

"So ordinary families can't raise them. Their IQ and emotions are high, and ordinary people can't control mutant animals, so they are all raised in unified merit houses."

"Our Huacheng's meritorious service center is in an abandoned factory building next to the West District Expressway. Various filtering equipment has been reinstalled there to slow down the absorption of pollution at the maximum speed."

"When we set out to the wilderness, we will ask for their opinions and bring along those animals that are willing to go to assist in the battle."

"If the families of mutant animals want to establish their affiliation, they have to pay a certain amount of contribution points every month and do two hours of volunteer work every day to take care of their furry children."

Update 2, good night here! I really want to be in the top five in terms of monthly tickets, so that I can have two books in the top five, which is very face-saving! [Strong hint!!!]

These few chapters explain the general environment. You can see Xiaolin when the temperature drops in winter!
