Pollution throughout the territory

"How many buildings will be planted?"

The description of this "kind" is indeed a bit strange, but it was almost dark outside, so he didn't pay too much attention to it. He was going to go to the nearby mountain to take a look. Anyway, he didn't want to look at this house, which is a must-have for home travel, when he comes back later. Late.

The isolation area is surrounded by mountains, with only a long canyon passing through the gap in the mountains. At the bottom of the canyon is the only road leading here.

After walking out of the quarantine area, I was not afraid of being seen. The tentacles had returned to their original appearance. The newly grown tail looked a little pink and slightly different in color from the one that existed before. Moreover, because of Xia Ren's This battle was quite crazy and damaged the body's essence, so in fact, the tentacles, together with his body, still need a long time to recover and adjust.

Holding Lily and Qin Yun in his arms, Xia Ren quickly reached one of the tops of the mountain.

There are only low bushes here, and the gray-white rocks are exposed. The afterglow of the setting sun shines on the rock surface, glowing with a golden-red luster.

In the distant horizon, the sun is like an egg yolk about to sink. The light it emits is not as sharp as in the morning and noon, and ordinary people can look directly at it.

The cool wind with a hint of wildness in Xizhou blew along the ridge, causing slight waves in the forest sea below. A few birds flew back from a distance and disappeared among the forest leaves.

Xia Ren and Qin Yun found a large stone that was smoothed by wind and rain, sat on it, and looked at the scenery in front of them.

Qin Yun wore a white skirt. She put her feet away, stepped on the stones with her sandals, hugged her calves with her hands, and sat there, tilting her head and looking at Xia Ren.

The lightly scented hair was blown up by the wind and moved towards the side of Xia Ren's face.

Qin Yun suddenly felt that it was romantic enough for the two of them to sit on the top of the mountain under the sunset, just waiting quietly without saying anything.

"It would be great if time could stay at this moment forever." She thought.

Xia Ren was thinking that if he threw the fire down at this time, it wouldn't be able to light it. After all, the leaves were still very green. Speaking of this rare opportunity, should he dig out two nests of bird eggs...

There were a lot of mosquitoes in the bushes, but they didn't dare to get close to them.

A venomous snake covered with gray scales poked out from the cracks in the rocks. The forked snake letter at the end stretched and contracted, searching for the scent of its prey.

As soon as it stretched out its hand, it was pinched tightly by a pair of fleshy little hands.

Lily had been waiting for it with her butt stuck out for a long time. The caught snake swung its limbs wildly, trying to wrap around Lily's arm.

The latter happily ran around the top of the mountain, waving his arms and swiping the snake around and around.

"Hoo~ho~big windmill~kekekekeke~"

Xia Ren and Qin Yun couldn't help but smile as they watched her turn.

"My Lily is so cute."

It was getting dark, in fact, very soon. Lily had just run for a while, and the sunset completely set. Xia Ren saw the lights in the isolation area at the foot of the mountain, and at the same time, the faint smell of rice floated up the hillside.

"Going down to eat."

Qin Yun greeted Lily.

The latter immediately stopped, but because he stopped too quickly, his body leaned forward, and he was about to fall. Lily straightened her hands and leaned her arms back, and then managed to maintain her balance.

Then, she balled up the completely fainted snake in her hand, swallowed it in one gulp, stretched out her little tongue to lick her lips with satisfaction, and then replied in a sweet voice: "Good duck, good duck!"

Then he happily ran to Xia Ren, raised his hands proactively, and let him hug him.

As soon as they returned to the entrance of the quarantine area, they saw a black car driving up the road between the valleys with its high beams on, and then stopped not far from them.

An old man with glasses got out of the car. He was about sixty years old, but his hair was still blond. There was an irregular circular scar on his right cheek, which looked like he had been pierced by a sharp object. left.

The old man should have been in a high position for a long time, and he exuded an aura of calmness and authority.

When the old man got out of the car, the driver of the black car turned around and left the place along the same route.

The old man raised his head and glanced at the huge rocket still standing at the door of the quarantine area. His expression was a little surprised, but not surprised.

Then he looked away from Xia Ren and his group, paused, said nothing, and walked straight into the quarantine area.

Xia Ren looked at his back and always felt something was strange.

He sniffed his nose, his doubts deepening.

"Did you smell something like a rotting corpse just now?"

The moment the old man got off the car, he smelled a strange smell in the air, but it was gone now.

"No." Qin Yun shook her head.

Xia Ren lowered his head and glanced at Lily in his arms, who was chewing his fingers and acting normal.

That means Lily didn't notice anything wrong.

Xia Ren secretly made a note of the old man with the puncture scar on his face, planning to test him again later to confirm what was going on.

They walked through the patient's building and came to the back of the isolation area.

The dormitory building is already brightly lit. Through the windows on the first floor, you can see the researchers inside with the reflection on their foreheads. The aroma of the food is even stronger here.

And just when Xia Ren and the others had just left to wander outside, a large open space had been cleared next to the accommodation building. The soil in the open space was loose. It seemed that someone had just dug it. Buried inside should be the item called "Absolute". A super building that cannot be copied, a must-have product for home travel, the reappearance of Longzhu Technology! Egg laying house-C26] containment.

When Xia Ren went out, he saw that the research institute was pulling the water pipe from the faucet nearby and watering the open space. The posture really looked like planting vegetables.

However, there is nothing in the open space now, and I don’t know what changes will happen in the future. According to Xia Ren’s understanding of the contained objects, maybe a house can really grow out of nothing.

There were originally only seven or eight rooms on the first floor, with a spacious hall in the middle. It was more than enough for the staff in the isolation area to eat in the room, but now long tables have been set up in the hall in advance.

Although everyone still eats in the room now, in the next few days, as more and more people come, these long tables will be put into use.

Xia Ren didn't see Niu Changshou, nor the old man with the scar on his face. There were only a dozen researchers who came to eat, and the rest were probably still in the laboratory.

Lily's appetite never disappoints. In the eyes of all the researchers, the little guy ate three adult-sized meals. If Qin Yun hadn't taught her not to eat too much outside, the little guy would probably be able to. I ate until the cafeteria went bankrupt.

After eating, Xia Ren left the table and said, "Did we forget something?"

Qin Yun was using a tissue to wipe Lily's mouth. After hearing this, she thought for a while: "Probably not."

Xia Ren no longer struggled.

He walked out of the restaurant and saw that there was no change in the open space outside. It was just that the researcher who was watering the water disappeared somewhere, leaving the water pipe to continue discharging water.

Xia Ren suddenly patted his head: "Speaking of which, I haven't coded for a long time."

He suddenly realized that he had forgotten this just now.

After asking the staff for a laptop, Xia Ren and Qin Yun went upstairs.

Opening the door, the room was quiet. Perhaps he was awakened by the sound of their return. Lu Yi snorted twice, opened his sleepy eyes, and walked to the living room on his slippers.

She rubbed her eyes with one hand, and subconsciously touched her hungry stomach with the other hand.

"Boss, you are back."

"If I were you, I would have run away from home a long time ago. I wouldn't even take you with me for important life events like eating. Your status in this family is worse than that of a sweeping robot."

"But, the boss forgot that, and it wasn't intentional..."

"You still speak for him at this time. I'm almost mad at you. How can you forget three people if you forget one person?"

When Lu Yi came up after eating, Da Yuanjing had been provoking her. After hearing this, Lu Yi simply shut up and stopped talking.

The maid herself didn't feel any grievance, but she was very angry. After staying with the maid for a long time, she naturally put herself into the maid's position.

"Anyway, you've been working with him for such a long time. If you don't owe him anything, why don't you leave?" Da Yuanjing continued.

Lu Yi couldn't help but said: "Why don't you owe me? I owe a lot..."

Her salary was originally two thousand a month, but the last time I met Kaori Riko when she was poisoned, Xia Ren gave her a lot of money in one breath. Lu Yi is stupid, there were too many, and she couldn't count them. She only knew I have to work beside my boss for a long time.

And if the boss hadn't picked him up, he would have been sleeping outside.

"..."

Da Yuan Jing was speechless for a moment.

This stupid woman is ignorant, her brain circuit is too simple, she can only accept death, no matter what she says, she is not willing to listen to herself, even if she believes in Xia Ren, is that little money really so important?

etc.

A wishing mirror suddenly thought of a possibility.

"You shouldn't be happy..."

"Ahem!"

Qin Yun, who was sitting on the sofa nearby and reading a book, couldn't help but interrupt the maid's soliloquy.

After all, she was also responsible for forgetting to ask Lu Yi to eat. Lu Yi kept repeating it in her ears, although in fact it was just the wishing mirror that was bothering her, and she would be a little embarrassed.

"You can continue to sleep if you have nothing to do." Qin Yun said.

Lu Yi immediately uncharacteristically threw off the slippers on her feet and stepped on the sofa with her white socks. She crawled to Qin Yun like a cat, hugged her arm and said with a smile: "Sister, let me read with you. You are reading." What, it looks so interesting.”

Qin Yun wanted to push away, but it was more comfortable to have someone by her side, especially Lu Yi's body was fragrant and soft.

"'Postpartum Care of Sows'." She showed the cover to Lu Yi.

What Qin Yun thought was that one day Xia Ren wouldn't have to be so busy, and the few of them would find a place with a nice view to live. Then they could raise pigs, kill one when they wanted to eat, and watch them get fat when they didn't want to eat. Running around outside can also be fun.

Lily rolled around on the floor. When she passed by Xia Ren's room, she could hear the crackling sound of typing inside. The little guy paused and then continued to roll forward.

…

…

In the virtual network world, streams of data are interacting with each other representing the will of the sender.

In a certain penguin group of 2,000 people, there was a lively chat.

Some people are posting silly pictures, some are asking questions in the group, and some are diving for fish.

Suddenly, the originally chaotic information all turned into one sentence:

updated

updated.

updated!

updated

…

The number of group messages instantly reached 99+, as if there were countless people waiting behind the screen, and the scene looked very strange.

Some of the group members who made this statement seemed to maintain some kind of tacit understanding. Although they were extremely excited about the updated news, they did not discuss it further, as if they were waiting for something.

The other group members who were unaware of anything were still posting new information enthusiastically, which seemed very chaotic.

[All members are banned]

The whole group fell silent.

After more than ten seconds of silence, an administrator finally appeared.

Black Cat (transformed): Do you know about the Foundation?

Eunuch Meow: I heard something.

Mengxin Xiaofan: I know.

Chemical Cat: I know.

Ugly Cat: I know.

Red Cat: It turns out that you have all been looked for by them.

Black Cat (turned black): Yes, I'm afraid everyone in this group has been observed by them for a period of time.

Chemical Cat: It seems that something abnormal has been discovered

Adorable Xiaofan: Starting from a nightmare

Ugly Cat: Yes

Meow Eunuch: Some group members don’t know yet. Let’s create a new group.

Red Cat: Agree

Black cat (already blackened): [Release link: Recommended group chat Raleye Seafood City...]

Black cat (already blackened): If you understand what we are talking about, add it, others should not add it, otherwise you will be responsible for the consequences!

Chemical Cat: Added

…

…

Dongzhou, at four o'clock in the morning, in a bedroom of a residential building.

The woman stayed in front of the computer screen, reading the messages sent by the administrators of the group.

She had stayed up for three days in a row and had to go to work during the day, but judging from the woman's expression, she didn't show much fatigue.

She moved her mouse and clicked on the link sent by Black Cat's management to enter the group chat, but a verification page appeared instead.

[Verification question: What is the full name of the foundation? Their employees call themselves _____? 】

These two questions are crucial, and no one who has not experienced them personally can tell the correct answers.

The woman put her hands on the keyboard and typed a few words.

[Salvation Foundation, Investigator. 】

[You have joined the group chat, come and say hello to everyone! 】

The woman glanced at the top of the chat box. The number of people behind the group name had been displayed as 300 in a short period of time, and this number continued to increase.

Black Cat (already blackened): Please don’t speak freely. Those who can come in must have discovered their abnormality and have been in contact with the investigators of the Foundation. However, half a month ago, those investigators no longer come to me. appear in front of

Ugly Cat: It was also half a month ago, the situation was the same

Red cat: same

The fat cat who only looks at pornographic pictures and doesn’t talk: same

Inner Ghost Meow: Same

Hapi fish (group pet): same

Below is a list of responses from members stating that they all encountered the same situation.

Black Cat (already blackened): We come from all over the world and it’s impossible to know each other, so we only have one thing in common

Meow Eunuch: We are all readers of this book

Chemical Cat: What does Foundation mean?

Black Cat (already blackened): I don’t know, but you all probably want to do one thing

Newbie Xiaofan: Find the author!

Red Cat: The content in the book is true, the pollution is real, the infected bodies and the foundation are also real, they just changed their names. I started having frequent nightmares two months ago. In my dreams, there were strange worlds and indescribable shadows. Until a month and a half ago, I saw my dead neighbor wandering downstairs. We are all contaminated

Ugly Cat: My idea is different from yours. We are not polluted, but have gradually accepted knowledge that was originally impossible to bear. The most obvious evidence is that, have any of you fallen into madness like what is described in the book?

Mengxin Xiaofan: I agree with Ugly Cat’s idea. At the beginning of the book, the heroine predicted that the doomsday is coming, and ordinary people have no way to survive. However, we have some power now, don’t we? Through the sharing of white cats, we gradually learn about the real world.

Black Cat (Darkened): We need to find the White Cat

Ugly Cat: I agree

Ichijo Xianyu: White Cat has been writing about the ghoul cubs for nearly half a month. Maybe he encountered some trouble.

I am Hapi: Maybe he is being hunted by people from the Wizards Alliance? Or were they discovered by the ghouls?

Drunk Meow: White Cat may need some help. In the book, he doesn’t have any power that he can rely on, but now we have

Black cat (already blackened): correct answer

Chemical Meow: Reasonable

Ugly Cat: I agree

Salted fish held by a cat: But how do we find him?

Mao Yue: Bai Mao doesn’t seem to read the book review section, and he almost doesn’t appear in the group.

Kaguya Cat: I wonder if you still remember Meisuke?

Red Cat: Mingshu? The mission that appeared in Chapter 133?

Kaguya Cat: Yes, I was imprisoned by the superintendent for some things some time ago and was almost wrongly accused of being a perverted murderer. At the critical moment, a mysterious man came to help me. Before that, I had a dream. In the dream, I stood Under an abyss, above the abyss, there is a bluestone throne. A man whose appearance cannot be seen clearly sits on the throne and listens to what I say.

Kaguya Cat: The mysterious man who came to help me told me that it was the man on the throne who sent him to help me. After thinking about it, only the Mingsuke mentioned in the book can explain this matter.

Fudu Ghost Meow: But until now, Mingshu has not been unlocked.

Mao Yue: What Bai Mao is writing now may have happened before. The information we obtained is not synchronized with his actual experience.

Looking at the speeches of the group members, especially what Kaguya Cat said, the woman in front of the computer screen recalled her own experience and finally couldn't help but start joining their chat.

Xiao Liangliang: I have also encountered something similar to Kaguya Cat, and I can confirm that the mysterious person sent to help you is White Cat

Kaguya Cat: Wow, is the white cat so handsome?

Red Cat:?

Drunk Meow:?

Ugly Cat:?

Gray Cat:?

Black cat (already blackened): There’s something wrong with you

Kaguya Cat: Ahem, I didn’t lie. By the way, Xiao Liangliang, did you have the same dream as me? What was the name of the man on the throne in the dream?

Little Liangliang: The white cat said he is the king of bronze and fire, Constantine

Kaguya Cat:? No, the white cat told me that he is the Snow Customs General, the Wild Uncle of Dayanping, the leader of the seven dog-lickers, and the Demon King Zheng Fan.

The woman thought for a while and replied: Then I don’t know.

She continued typing on the keyboard.

Xiao Liangliang: But I have a friend who works at Seven O'Clock and happens to be the editor-in-charge of White Cat. After discovering the abnormality some time ago, I asked her for the address where White Cat used to send and receive contracts, and asked for leave to go and check it out.

But when I got there, I discovered that things were a bit complicated. The white cat's real name was Xia Ren, and he had a sister named Xia Qiudong. I went to find Xia Qiudong, but she didn't seem to be at home, and no residents nearby were interested in the name Xia Ren. Impressive.

I spent money to check the household registration, and the results confirmed that Xia Ren did exist, but he died in July.

I asked my editor friend to get the bank account where the book White Cat was signed, and found that the account was named Sima Gangdan.

The identity of the current white cat is unknown, but it may not be the real white cat it used to be.

If the white cat is still Xia Ren, then the content in his book is not completely based on his actual situation.

The group was silent for a while.

I am Hapi: Xiao Liangliang, do you think that friend is you? You are the editor-in-chief Liangzi!

Xiao Liangliang didn't reply.

Black Cat (now blackened): I think we might be able to form an organization. A piece of loose sand has no power. The end is coming. Now that we know it, we can't go back to the comfortable life before.

Everyone agreed

Black Cat (has become black): Since everyone knows the truth about pollution through reading, gains strength through reading, and gets to know each other through reading, why not call it...

Kaguya Cat: LSP Alliance!

[The administrator withdrew a message from member Kaguya Cat]

Black Cat (turned black): How about just calling it a reading party?

Rich Meow: Not bad, it feels like a young lady

The Youth Club was mentioned in the book. It has the same three characters as the Book Club, and the purpose of its establishment can be seen from the name. It is indeed very similar.

Mengxin Xiaofan: I think since we are in a group, it is better to formulate a secret code to help everyone confirm their identity in reality.

Kaguya Cat: Here’s some dirty pictures

Mengxin Xiaofan:?

Red Cat: Here’s a dirty picture

Brother Xu: Here’s a dirty picture

Meow Eunuch: Here’s a sexy picture

Dolphin Meow: Here’s a sexy picture

The Ghostly Meow of Fudu City: Here’s a picture

Black cat (already blackened): Here’s some dirty pictures

…

…

Early the next morning, Xia Ren just finished coding.

I have saved 50,000 to 60,000 manuscripts overnight, so I should be able to cope with it for a while.

Watching the penguin icon in the lower right corner of the screen beating, he clicked on it and saw that the editor-in-chief Liangzi sent him two messages:

【Who are you? 】

【Where are you? 】

"Is this the wrong word?"

Liangzi had seen him before in Dongpu City, so it was impossible for him to ask such a question. Xia Ren closed the chat window and ignored it.

He rubbed his sore eyes, stood up from the chair and stretched, and unexpectedly discovered that the scenery outside the window was actually different from yesterday.

Where there should have been an open space, a six-story building has now been erected. The building is overall brown, and the surface is covered with a layer of rough texture, which is a circle, a bit like the growth rings of a tree.

There is no glass on the window, only a rough frame. Through the window, you can see that in the empty room, several researchers are working together to install the door.

"A house actually grew..."

Xia Ren was a little surprised.

He took Qin Yun and the others downstairs, planning to have breakfast.

When I came to the first floor, I found that there were many unfamiliar faces here. They were basically people over forty years old, both men and women. Young people and children were basically invisible, so Xia Ren and the others stood out in the crowd.

They all rushed in late last night or early in the morning and were considered the first batch.

Xia Ren didn't care about them. He hurriedly took a few of his people to the restaurant where they were serving food, but he was still late.

"Sure enough, no matter where you are, if there are too many new people, the old people won't have enough to eat."

The canteen did not expect so many people to come suddenly. The breakfast they had prepared had been eaten before dawn two hours ago. They could only urgently buy some emergency food from nearby cities. However, even so, When Xia Ren and the others arrived, they only had instant noodles and bread to choose from.

Lily is not picky about food, so she chose Tongyi Laotan Pickled Cabbage Noodles and ate five buckets in one go.

Xia Ren took a few bites of bread and saw Niu Changshou standing in the hall, waving to him.
