Chapter 27 Out of the City
Ye Chuan got off at Nanmen Station, Xin Laowu, Xue Kaitai, and four soldiers from Shilixiang Farm were already waiting there.
Although it was only about sixty miles from the city to the farm, Xue Kaitai did not dare to be careless and organized a six-person guard to protect Ye Chuan's safety.
"brother!"
"Fifth Brother!"
When they saw Ye Chuan, Xin Laowu greeted him happily. Xue Kaitai also introduced several brothers from the farm to Ye Chuan. They set off from the farm before dawn this morning and were about to pick Ye Chuan up to visit the farm. It was quite hard.
Ye Chuan is the original author of Qingdie Capsules, only Xue Kaitai and Xin Laowu know that Ye Chuan is the apprentice of the capsule master, and Ye Chuan is fully responsible for the matters related to the farm.
This makes everyone get closer to Ye Chuan. After all, most people are afraid of capsule masters. If they really show their identity, it will cause psychological pressure from the brothers in the farm.
Now Ye Chuan is visiting as an apprentice. He is young and has no airs, so everyone can easily accept him.
Looking up at the sky, Xue Kaitai said, "It's getting late, let's set off now. From the city to the farm, it's about 60 miles away. It's a few hours. After dark, there will be mutant beasts wandering around, so we have to arrive before dark anyway."
Ye Chuan nodded. In fact, at his speed of more than 130 kilometers, he could die from the city to the farm for fifteen minutes. But who made the aurora a secret of Ye Chuan, so it was hard to take it out.
The policy of Guangzhou City is to be lenient and strict in and out, and no one cares about leaving the city, but when entering the city, you need to search and check whether you carry prohibited objects. When you encounter those greedy city defense forces, you may even be extorted.
Having not left the dark city for more than five years, Ye Chuan was quite excited when he left the city. He saw many large farms outside the city. These farms belong to the city alliance. They opened up fields near the city, planted grains, and sold them to the citizens in the city.
Opening a farm near the city is naturally the most convenient and safest choice. Unfortunately, this is just a privilege of the city alliance. If someone like Xin Laowu has nothing to do with the city government, he has to go deep into the more dangerous wilderness.
The city alliance farm is limited to twenty miles. If it is far away, the city defense force will be unable to take care of it. So after ten kilometers away from the city wall, the surrounding scenery has changed again, from the large paddy fields that are about to be harvested, it has turned into lush forests and grass, and it has truly entered the wilderness.
Huh ~
Ye Chuan breathed the fresh and free air, and felt that every pore in his body was stretched out. Compared to the dark and humid city, the air in the wild is indeed more suitable for him.
The first twenty miles were not fast, and it was almost noon. Xue Kaitai said, "Let's rest here for a while and eat something. The next road is even more difficult, and the marching speed must be accelerated."
Ye Chuan nodded and took out the food from his backpack to share with everyone.
Xin Laowu took out a capsule from his arms, and after starting it, it turned into a set of outdoor dining tables, which were also equipped with a folding chair. Da Liu also took out a capsule. After starting it, it was a set of gas stoves that could boil water and make tea.
When eating outdoors, the most important thing is to block the smell so as not to attract mutant beasts to find the smell. So Xue Kaitai took out a bottle of spray and sprinkled it around.
This is an air purifier, an essential thing for survival in the wild. The spray will decompose into extremely small molecules to eliminate all odors around it, and the effective time will be up to twenty-four hours.
These armed farmers are veterans who survive in the wild. They know what they should do. Ye Chuan watched from the side and secretly recorded their key points of action.
After a while, the tables and chairs were placed on it, and the tea began to boil. In addition, the surrounding environment was beautiful, a stream flowed slowly under his feet, which made Ye Chuan feel like he was having a picnic outside.
This kind of life that is close to nature is something that people who live in cities all year round cannot understand, and enjoy it.
Xue Kaitai and the others also prepared food, but they were far less abundant than Ye Chuan's preparations, so they didn't have the nerve to take it out.
Barbecue roll pancakes, which are typical northern flavors. Choose the best tenderloin and marinate them first, then put them on charcoal fire to quickly grill them, then add a little cumin, chili and salt, and roll them up with thick white flour pancakes. There are also lettuce rich in vitamins to clear your mouth, which is a delicious food in the world.
As his income increased, Ye Chuan also began to make some more refined foods. He came from a family of foodies and his father inherited the private cooking skills of the imperial royal family. Ye Chuan was deeply affected since childhood.
However, what Ye Chuan is making now is at most home-cooked meals, which is far from the real top-notch delicacies. After all, Ye Chuan does not have so many ingredients, and there is not the time to make delicious food in detail. It is enough to satisfy the desire for the stomach. In this era, it is not easy to eat a full stomach, and I can’t think about it too much.
Even so, the meal still surprised the brothers in the farm. Before the pancakes on the fire were completely baked, they couldn't wait to pick them up and stuff them into their mouths, not letting them go without the cake dregs that fell on the table.
After lunch like the wind blows over the clouds, Liu pours a cup of tea for everyone. After drinking the tea, he is about to set off again. At this moment, the sky is gradually getting a little gloomy, as if it is about to rain.
Ye Chuan looked around with a teacup. Not far away, it was a town, but now it has been abandoned. Bricks, tiles and cement buildings are still invincible with green plants. Trees and weeds have completely occupied the living space of humans in the past.
The cement pavement grows countless weeds from the inside out, and a tree even penetrates the roof and pokes out of the tree canopy. If it weren't for the bricks and stones scattered on the ground, it would be impossible to see that humans had lived there.
In just a hundred years, human beings were driven into the city, and outside the city completely became a paradise of natural life. Even traces of human beings' once existence were gradually erased.
After sniffing the air with his nose, Ye Chuan said with a smile: "Historical records show that the Chinese region has been trapped in unprecedented air pollution. From the north to the south, the entire continent is shrouded in toxic haze, which is many times worse than the air in the city today. Countless people have suffered from various strange diseases due to air pollution."
"Even the soil is polluted, and the heavy metals planted in crops exceed the standard. People will get cancer after eating them. The power of nature is really magical. Some scientists once predicted that such a serious pollution will take a thousand years to control. It has only been a hundred years since nature has recovered. It seems that the power of human beings will eventually become very small in front of nature."
Xin Laowu curled his lips, "I like nature and fresh air, but it would be even better if there were no mutant beasts."
Ye Chuan said: "We are already lucky enough. Our ancestors like to eat wild game and kill a large number of wild animals. Because of the pollution in the early years, we killed a large number of them. Therefore, our China area has not been harassed by the mutant beasts too strong."
"Look at the places with good environmental protection in ancient times, such as North America and South America. That's what mutant beasts are rampant. The United States, the most powerful country in history, has long envied us Chinese people. There are so many mutant beasts there, and they can't kill them no matter how hard they kill them."
Da Liu said: "North America is nothing, the worst is the Russian region. Siberian mutant beasts are said to have become energetic. The huge Russia has only two cities, Moscow and St. Petersburg, and all the other cities have been captured by mutant beasts without exception."
"But we have to be alert, after all, the north borders Siberia. If there wasn't a capital that was standing there and the mutant beasts were not allowed to kill them, the Huaxia region wouldn't have known what it would be like."
Xue Kaitai said: "The area bordering Myanmar and Vietnam to the south is also quite lingering. Yunnan is a plateau, but the situation in Guangxi is relatively complicated. It is said that the two main defensive cities of Nanning and Beihai are attacked by mutant beasts every day, and life is much harder than ours."
"The situation in the western region is not optimistic. Urumqi, which is isolated from the Western Regions, is almost unable to withstand it. The pressure of the western defense urban agglomeration formed by Xining, Lanzhou, and Yinchuan is getting stronger and stronger."
Ye Chuan nodded slightly. Although there are still many cities on Earth that are still under tremendous pressure caused by mutant beasts, the overall situation is getting better and better.
Capsule technology is developing rapidly, and the number of genetic warriors is increasing, allowing the earth to withstand the bombardment of mutant beasts in the first hundred years and survive.
For some reason, the mutant beasts are very inactive recently. They have been out of the city for more than twenty miles, and Ye Chuan has not seen a real mutant beast yet.
As a staunch conspiracy theorist, Ye Chuan does not believe that the mutant beasts are inactive, and there is no deeper reason behind it, it is just that humans cannot figure it out.
