Chapter IX Conference
"Come on, Xiaoguang to have a meal!"
My father, who usually eats in the room, was also carried to the dining table today. His brother was serving the rice while nodding at him with a smile.
"Brother, what's wrong today?" Looking at such a sumptuous dinner, Zhao Guang became a little uneasy.
Looking at the sudden nervousness and careful appearance on his younger brother's thin and yellow face, Zhao Yang couldn't help feeling a little sad and sad. He put down the bowl in his hand and waved, "Come and have dinner, my brother has made a lot of money today. In the future, our family will no longer have to eat mixed vegetable porridge every day!"
"Really!" After hearing this, Zhao Guang's face instantly burst out with glory and he sat over happily.
But Zhao Yang saw that there were two more bruises on Zhao Guang’s face, but they didn’t have them in the morning.
"What's wrong? This is?" Zhao Yang frowned.
Looking at his brother staring at his face, Zhao Guang stammered for a few moments, and finally said with a smile: "It's nothing, I saw a nest of thick leafy vegetables, someone wanted to steal mine!"
Zhao Yang nodded, brought a bowl of rice and handed it over, saying, "Okay, prepare for dinner, next time... don't snatch it from someone next time, we won't be short of this in the future!"
"Yes!" Zhao Guang nodded vigorously.
After a warm and rich dinner, Zhao Yang strode towards the inner city when it was getting darker.
Johor Bahru University is built in the inner city.
It was formerly a high school in the old city. The building quality was quite reliable and the losses were not too great during the catastrophe. When the government planned to build Johor Bahru University three years ago, it was directly used to transform it into the current university.
Although it is not even comparable to any university before the catastrophe in all aspects, it is enough for Johor Bahru University, which still has just one thousand students.
There are enough classrooms and dormitories, as well as several basketball courts and a small football field, and even a library. With electricity and water supply and relatively cheap food and accommodation, this place is simply a paradise for the entire Johor Bahru City, which is still struggling for survival.
Zhao Yang's family was not too far from the inner city. After walking about a quarter of an hour, he arrived at the inner city. The inner city guards were as strict as ever, and even Zhao Yang's school uniform could not replace his student ID.
After stepping into the inner city, Zhao Yang finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The high walls built by iron fences and cement stones, as well as the isolation belt fifteen meters wide in the middle, completely divide the inner city and the outer city into two worlds. The air in the inner city is fresh and does not have the increasingly rich and dull smell of the outer city.
The houses inside are orderly and the streets are wide and clean. Apart from being quiet and dilapidated, it seems no different from the world before the catastrophe.
More than a dozen bicycles and scattered pedestrians made the four-lane street look particularly empty. Only one or two electric cars occasionally passing by with a "hiss" electric current make the street a little more angry.
After taking a look at the red flag flying high in front of the majestic building not far away, and the slightly shorter green flag of Johor Bahru City marked by mountains and doves beside it, Zhao Yang nodded in complexity, and then turned to a road on the left.
The road on the left is slightly narrow. On the two lanes, there are some cheers of young people and a few bicycles twisting around the road, making the place look much more lively.
Zhao Yang walked quietly in the shadow next to him, completely different from the lively crowd next to him; until he saw one of them, Zhao Yang's eyes lit up slightly and he walked over with big strides.
"Yang Chang!"
Hearing the screams, a young man riding a bicycle and playing with people there, stopped the car and saw Zhao Yang walking over, with his lips slightly raised, and said, "Buy medicine?"
"Yes, I'm going to trouble you again!" Zhao Yang walked over with a smile and said, "I heard that your father was hunting a second-level beast this time, which is so amazing!"
After hearing this, Yang Chang, who was originally a little indifferent, immediately smiled brightly and raised his head and said, "Of course, he is my dad!"
"Tell me, how much medicine do you want to buy?"
Zhao Yang reached out and took out 350 yuan and handed it over, saying, "Please buy five copies for me first!"
"Okay, I'll have someone bring you here for you tomorrow!" Although she didn't buy much, Yang Chang was in a good mood and agreed quickly.
Zhao Yang also breathed a sigh of relief. After thanking him seriously, he strode towards the school.
Yang Chang's relationship is similar to that of buying medicine in pioneer teams, which is about 2.5% cheaper than buying it in a pharmacy outside. Although Yang Chang will definitely make a profit from the middle, he can lose 2.5% less. For Zhao Yang, this will not save a little in the long run.
When he returned to the dormitory and looked at the bright lights in the dormitory, Zhao Yang still couldn't help but sigh that this is the inner city; this is the only place where he could live like before the catastrophe!
"Zhao Yang, you are back!"
Luo Xun was sitting in the dormitory reading a book. When Zhao Yang came in, he greeted him with a smile and said.
"Yeah, I'm back!"
After looking at the "New Chinese Medicine" written by Luo Xun, Zhao Yang smiled and said, "So hardworking?"
"There is no way. Tomorrow is Professor Li's class. The last test score will come soon; those who fail to take the exam will definitely be arrested and asked questions!"
Luo Xun sighed, looked at the simple illustration above, scratched his head with a headache, and said, "I didn't do much in the exam. Look, this flea looks the same as ginseng. How can I tell it?"
Zhao Yang hesitated for a moment and said dryly: "Whoever says the same thing must be a difference, okay, the book is clearly written, take a closer look!"
"It's clear... who can tell it clearly... I feel a headache when I look at it!"
Luo Xun dropped the book in his hand, reached out to rub his temples, looked at Zhao Yang, and said, "How are you doing in the exam?"
"Ah...ha, what do you think!" Zhao Yang laughed dryly, took off his shoes, and climbed onto the bed.
"You are not doing well in the exam, and you are still pretending to be like this? You are not reading books yet?" Luo Xun cursed with a smile: "Old Li scolds people, but it makes people shameless. I don't want to stand and listen to the class tomorrow!"
"I know, read books!" Zhao Yang took out the Chinese medicine from the head of the bed, and shook his head helplessly.
There is no way, the courses are arranged very tightly now, and most students in the outer city who can’t even eat enough will basically find it difficult to compete with the children in the inner city in their studies.
Luo Xun threw the book in his hand, leaned on the chair, looked up at the ceiling and sighed, saying, "Now, basically all industries have been destroyed, and even the treatment can only rely on Chinese herbal medicine. I don't know how many years it will take to recover to the past!"
"It shouldn't be too long!"
Zhao Yang looked through the book, thought for a while, and said, "Although basically most of the industries and technologies have been destroyed by floods and earthquakes, and even the hard disks have been burned by electromagnetic storms, at least many paper books have been preserved. In the past two years, a large amount of hydropower construction has greatly alleviated the shortage of energy. On these basis, I think that as long as this continues to develop, most of them should be restored in more than ten or twenty years!"
"I really hope I can recover soon!" Luo Xun carefully took off the glasses wrapped in yellow tape and wiped them with a soft cloth, hoping to be authentic.
"Yes, I really hope it can be faster..." Zhao Yang also murmured.
At nine o'clock in the evening, the other two dormitory returned to the dormitory before turning off the lights. The lights in the inner city gradually went out, and the entire Johor Bahru City almost entered a silence.
And in the mountains and forests outside the city walls several meters high, like in the past, the sound of tigers roaring and wolf howling gradually emerged...
Some herbivorous animals began to try to sneak into the noisy human farms, while some predators also approached here and took the opportunity to hunt.
Only a tightly guarded internal conference room in the central council building of Johor Bahru City is still brightly lit at this moment.
The conference room was not too big, with red flags and green city flags on both sides of the conference room, and at the oval conference table, six people sat around them in the main and secondary, and the atmosphere was slightly serious.
"The evil spirit incident started a month ago, five incidents in the North City, injured three people and four people died; three days ago, the South City also began to appear. There were two incidents in the past three days, injured two people and killed one person!"
A young man who looked in his thirties, wearing a handsome black uniform and extremely bright eyes said in a deep voice: "After the police investigation and handling are fruitless, I will leave it to my city guard for handling!"
"After investigation, it was true that abnormal evil spirits appeared. Most of them were caused by long-standing resentment and special harsh environmental factors. Now there are more and more spiritual energy between heaven and earth and more abnormal environments. It is not surprising that such evil spirits appear, but human inducing factors are not completely ruled out."
"The guards and controllers sent by the city guards have been dealt with; I have arranged for the destiny to join the patrol to minimize similar situations!"
The old man in the main seat nodded slowly, looked at the half-bald middle-aged man who was hanging his head and writing something on the notebook at the left, and said: "The situation in the outside world is now bad, and a large number of people are transferred to the city, which has led to the deterioration of the environment in the city. The government departments must make more efforts, and at the same time require the police to increase public security efforts and minimize adverse factors as much as possible!"
After saying that, he turned to another person and said: "The Resources Committee should also make adjustments, and the relevant resources should be appropriately tilted towards civil affairs, so that the government departments can provide as much assistance as possible to the lower-level people!!"
The two people who were named looked at each other and nodded slowly, rarely without shirking each other; due to the surge in the population in the city, they could no longer stay out of these matters.
The old man marked his notebook, looked at everyone, and said, "Is there any other topic?"
"Now the mountains and forests are becoming more and more dangerous. In the past month, the casualties of our pioneer team have increased by half a century compared with last month. My pioneer team urgently needs to add high-end combat power, so I ask my pioneer team to enjoy the essence of the enemy's pioneer team to train more awakened people as soon as possible!"
