Hearing his words, the leader of the scavengers looked beyond Kensaku Fujiki to the many mountains of garbage on one side of the garbage dump.
It's tempting, but... there's more to it than profit.
Ever since he saw villagers' houses being crushed by garbage and countless people dying from complications caused by pollution, he decided to stay here and eliminate all this garbage.
To this day, he sadly finds that the height of the garbage mountain continues to increase. The dozen or so villages and hundreds of thousands of residents that originally existed here have disappeared, leaving only the huge garbage mountain in the rugged area and the impoverished scavengers.
This is even more tragic than the mythical mountain-moving story. The garbage mountain is growing much faster than the natural mountains. What's more, the mythical mountain-moving people can also pin their hopes on endless descendants, and the only child of the leader of the scavengers is Died from leukemia.
Seeing the silent look of the leader of the scavengers, Kensaku Fujiki shook his head, put his hands behind his hands and sighed as he and others left on a luxury shuttle.
"The waste pickers' association is not qualified to be citizens of Anjiu City." He concluded the report and provided it to the Anjiu City Council for internal reference. "Their daily work is to dig in the garbage mountains. They are ignorant, poor, and uneducated, so they are short-sighted and greedy. There is widespread severe malnutrition and various basic diseases, which is a huge burden on the entire city."
A few days passed after the congressman left, and the leader of the scavengers continued his daily routine.
He dejectedly led people to complete the day-to-day sorting, cleaning and excavation work, destroying hazardous waste as much as possible, selling valuable waste, and burying useless waste or burning it to generate electricity.
Thirty-six million tons. The leader of the waste pickers, Neng Mohu, calculated the total amount. The waste pickers association has processed so much garbage in the past thirty years. Environmental protection will always be the last thing on people’s minds. When they die in various A disease caused by pollution, the garbage mountain will soon flood Anjiu City.
Maybe then people will understand how serious it is.
At night, after burying a deformed child, with a mixture of sadness and numbness, the scavenger leader bent over his dirty little bed.
He felt pain all the time, and the sewage and exhaust gas brought about chronic kidney disease and continuous pneumonia. Fortunately, his body was also very good at enduring pain, so much so that he would fall asleep when the pain was less severe.
The shorter his sleep, the more dreams he has. He rarely sleeps for a few complete long sleeps, so he has endless dreams. Most of them are weird dreams. The garbage mountain is blown away by the wind overnight. And the village was rebuilt.
But today's dream is particularly special.
He dreamed that the garbage mountain was covered by huge, sturdy green plants. Their flowers exuded a dull golden light, crushing all the garbage like a python strangling animals, leaving only endless treasures and raw materials, and the air became fresh. , the earth is full of green.
"If you want your dream to become a reality..." The vicissitudes of voice echoed in the head of the scavenger leader, "...take everyone away and don't look back."
When he woke up from his dream, the leader of the scavengers was still full of hope.
He lived in confusion and confusion for three days, having the same dream every day.
Take everyone away and don't look back.
"What's wrong?" Jiro Sheba and his sister came to visit the leader of the scavengers one day and saw his dejected look.
"Take everyone away." Digu, the leader of the scavengers, lacked the courage to do so.
"What do you mean?" Jiro Shiba didn't understand what he meant.
"What will happen if we take everyone away?" The leader of the scavengers looked up at the sky covered in gray smoke, "What will happen?"
"Leave the garbage mountain?" Sheba Jiro was surprised, but realized that this was a helpless move, "Then... let's go and leave the garbage mountain behind."
This smallest support also made the leader of the waste pickers determined. He asked Jiro Saba, who had sound legs and feet, to go to the distance of the garbage mountain to call people, while he rode a tricycle and publicized door to door, letting everyone in the waste pickers association
All the members came out and left with him.
"let's go!"
"Chief, let us go!"
"It's time to go!" The scavengers called to their friends, and the scavengers who were rummaging through the garbage mountain for "treasures" hurried down the mountain slowly.
They carried out the sick, the disabled and the bedridden from the houses, tied up the mentally ill with ropes, and brought in the homeless, forming a strange and ragged group that gave off the stench of dealing with garbage all year round.
The leader of the scavengers looked at them silently.
Before city dwellers dumped their garbage on this land, it was once full of cottages, and the villagers were healthy, simple and strong, numbering in the tens of thousands. However, now only 5,000 people are still living here, relying on the leftovers left by the city.
, becoming an untouchable person who is hated by others.
"Let's go." The leader of the scavengers turned around and walked out with the five thousand people.
"Where to go?"
"Where are we going?" they shouted one after another.
Where to go? The leader of the scavengers has no idea. They will be stopped at the borders of the city and massacred by drones sent by the company.
There is no place in the world for low-class people like them.
Why bother to set up an association of waste pickers? It would be great to pretend that you have never seen all this, stay in a distant place with books all day long, and leave all your knowledge on environmental pollution prevention and control in blueprints and plans. That way you will also have a great reputation.
, no worries about food and clothing.
One area after another is polluted, so what, work hard and move to a better place to live. The countryside is not a place for people to stay. The social law is that human beings must bear industrial pollution, and there is a group of people who deserve to give birth to deformed children. Drink
Radiated wastewater.
The leader of the scavengers was filled with various thoughts. He walked forward silently and suddenly stopped.
earthquake.
Earthquake... what happened? He couldn't help but turn around suddenly, and the scavengers also stopped and followed the movement to look at the garbage mountain behind them.
They were stunned and stiff, unable to move.
boom!
A huge gap opened in the ground, and a funnel seemed to appear under the garbage mountain, swallowing them crazily. The huge garbage mountain could not defy the laws of physics at this time, and fell into the abyss one after another.
Immediately afterwards, countless huge vines crisscrossed and stabbed out, and each vine trailed a flower-like predator at the end, but it was not to swallow human life, but to continuously wrap and pinch the garbage. They could clearly see the garbage along the plants.
The stalks were swallowed, and the entire garbage mountain was submerged by the wildly growing plants in a few breaths.
"Miracle!"
"A miracle happened!"
"Wow -" the scavengers shouted, lying on the ground one after another, looking at the grand and terrifying scene in front of them with fear. Nature seemed to show its infinite power at this moment.
Flowers emitting golden light bloomed from the tops of these giant plants one after another. A large number of vines carried the garbage into the flowers, allowing the garbage to be decomposed in the illusion of light and slime.
Countless novel plants that they had never heard of grew out of the garbage mountain. After all the devouring and churning, the size of the garbage mountain became unprecedentedly smaller and could only be described as a garbage hill.
Grass blades grow and plants proliferate.
The original garbage mountain has now been transformed into a bizarre forest, as if each plant has its own way to deal with pollution and garbage. The vines that fly quickly among them work like sorting arms in a factory, sorting different types of waste. The garbage is handed over to various different alien plants for processing.
They are in line with botanical laws. The leader of the scavengers rubbed his eyes. He still remembered the knowledge he learned in the past. But they did not belong to this era, they were super ancient vegetation.
But what's going on?
After a while, the garbage mountain had turned into a dense forest. Before the scavengers came to their senses, their homes were already covered with huge fir trees, maples, and the largest and most shining golden tree ever. The top of the garbage mountain rises from the ground, illuminating everything with its shining light!
Mountain of garbage - without a trace!
"We are saved." The scavenger leader murmured.
He still felt incredible and asked everyone to wait outside for a moment, wanting to measure the new land with his own feet.
He entered the big forest alone, and the wasteland and rotten land turned into a fresh forest. He had never felt that his home smelled so good. He walked towards the largest golden tree, and under its shining roots, he I saw that familiar figure, the man wearing a mask and hood.
"It will be easier to dispose of garbage now." Xu Yang pressed one hand on the beard of the golden tree.
"You...you did it." The leader of the scavengers stumbled forward, holding Xu Yang's hand, his voice choked with sobs.
Dreams can also become reality. He was filled with emotions.
"I want to innovate everything, everything." Xu Yang said calmly, "But you must also understand that all miracles have to pay a price, and some dedication must be provided in exchange."
The leader of the scavengers heard the roar of a deer, and in a blink of an eye he saw the largest and most beautiful stag he had ever seen standing in the forest. Its pale fur symbolized supreme holiness.
"It needs followers." Xu Yang said.
"Of course...it saved our lives." The leader of the scavengers took a deep breath, feeling that the lung disease that had plagued him for more than ten years was gradually easing.
"With the help of these rare plants with unique uses, garbage will be transformed and the soil will be cleaned." Xu Yang turned to point to the transformed ancient dense forest landscape, "But there is still a lot of garbage that needs manpower to help solve it, and new ones will be built nearby. Living campus, new waste incineration power plant, garbage recycling station and processing plant. Environmental protection is an eternal cause and requires your wisdom."
"I have knowledge, but we need investment." The leader of the scavengers mused, "And Anjiu City will not accept us, and we will not forgive them!"
"If you go to Nisto Company, they will probably help." Xu Yang said.
"Thank you. Thank you." The leader of the scavengers lamented, "You rescued those witch children from the garbage dump, and now you have destroyed these garbage mountains. My only question is...who are you?"
"Ordinary people." Xu Yang patted him on the shoulder, "Let's go, a new life begins."
Yes. A new life has begun. The leader of the scavengers sighed secretly, with endless thoughts. How unpredictable fate is, life tortured him violently, and at this moment, this unprecedented miracle made up for all the suffering in the first half of his life and saved countless lives.
