Chapter 5 The Pain of Breathing (5)

"You have a lot of planting experiments here." Yu Di tilted his head and said.

"Yes, we are trying." Yan Yu was about to answer, but suddenly realized, "I haven't asked you who you are yet! The surface of the earth has been completely acidified for several years, and no known plants can survive in the surface soil. What do you think?

Where did you find this? Also, the research institute you mentioned has been closed a long time ago. I don’t remember that your surname was on the original expulsion list.”

Realizing that he seemed to have said too much, Yan Yu pursed his lips and leaned on the table, staring at Yu Di with burning eyes.

"Didn't I say it, in the wild grave?"

Yan Yu frowned: "How deep is the grave?"

"Half a meter."

"Impossible!" Yan Yu said, "Soil of this thickness"

Yu Di interrupted: "Why on earth did you conclude that no living thing would survive on the surface?"

"This is common sense. Moreover, we have dozens of test data showing that at the current acidity, only a small number of microorganisms can metabolize normally. They all exist in the form of single cells and cannot reproduce in large numbers unless we develop new species.

, otherwise there would be no living things on the surface.”

After saying that, he looked at Yu Di suspiciously: "You couldn't have gotten fresh plants from some source and used them to deceive me, right? What's your purpose?"

Yu Di was stunned for a moment, brother, I know who you are? Didn't you hand me the business card yourself? I thought the first world mission was relatively simple, and you just jumped out of nowhere!

When Yan Yu saw Yu Di stunned and didn't speak, he thought he had guessed correctly. He glared at Yu Di angrily and took out a small thing that looked like a walkie-talkie from his pocket to call the guards.

"Wait a minute." Yu Di grabbed his wrist and wanted to reason with him.

Yan Yu thought that Yu Di was going to do something to him, so he screamed in fright and ran to the door, and even took a picture of the emergency blocking button.

"Hey!! Don't run!" Yu Di was locked in the laboratory and looked at Yan Yu, whose face turned pale, speechlessly. She shouldn't have any "simple" ideas about the task.

The laboratory is a sensitive area of ​​the underground city, and the guards came very quickly. Because of Yan Yu's emergency blockade, they also alerted the chief director of the laboratory, the person in charge of this floor.

With the thought "Anyway, as long as they have a chance to survive on the surface, the social order will not collapse and the civilization of this world will not become extinct." Yu Di simply confided all his speculations to the person in charge.

The person in charge was an old man in his sixties. After listening to her explanation, he did not express any opinions, but he also did not let Yu Di go back to the dormitory.

He asked Yan Yu to "look after" Yu Di, and then he went into the office alone and didn't come out all night.

Yu Di was too lazy to talk to Yan Yu. He lay on the cannibal sofa without formality and communicated with the system in his mind.

"How's that? I've completed my mission, right?"

"It was me. I dug out the key things with just a casual dig."

"Just leave the rest to their scientists, right? You don't need me to stay here anymore, right?"

"Are you saying anything? Hello? Hello? Are you there?"

The system finally couldn't bear it anymore and broadcast a real-time video into Yu Di's mind - it was actually the surveillance camera from the laboratory director's office. Yu Di's eyes suddenly went blank and he looked carefully at the picture played in his mind.

After a while, Yu Di jumped up angrily: "What? Why do we have to close the city in advance?!"

Yan Yu had been quietly sizing up Yu Di, but when he saw her suddenly staring straight at the ceiling, he felt something was wrong. Yu Di jumped up and shouted, which completely made him a representative of mental illness in Yan Yu's mind.

Yu Di rushed over and grabbed Yan Yu's collar: "Take me to see your director!"

Yan Yu tried his best to shrink back: "Okay, okay, let me go and I will take you there."

Before he finished speaking, Yu Di felt a pain in his waist, and then his body became uncontrollable. He fell back, and the back of his head hit the edge of the table, and then fell to the ground with a bang.

Painful, Yu Di felt that his vision seemed a little blurred and his body felt a little cold.

Yan Yu put away the stun gun, kicked Yu Di's legs cautiously, looked at Yu Di's wide eyes, and called the guard over tremblingly.

In the sea of ​​​​consciousness, Yu Di hammered the void space with impotence and fury, crackling and spitting out the fragrance from his mouth - anyway, there is no one else here, so there is no need for quality.

"No, just die. Why did the mission fail? Huh?"

The system silently sent her the second distress message from this world.

After Yu Di died unexpectedly, the plant samples she brought did not cause any disturbance. As Cheng Die said, in order to ensure the stability of the dungeon system, they kept relevant experiments as high-level secrets, trying to find out whether this plant could metabolize

The gene for strong acid is implanted into other types of seeds that grow quickly and have a short growth period.

But if they could persevere, there wouldn't be this second distress message.

When the results of the experiment came out, the underground city had already formed an inherent hierarchy of residents, and such hierarchical differentiation could only be established in such a closed environment where survival resources were extremely scarce. Once people returned to the surface.

So before the riots came, there was a split within the management.

Because human beings have always relied on materials produced in microbial factories, plants have become almost legendary, similar to "my grandma told me that they saw trees when they were children." Therefore, when advocating for the organization's advance

When residents went to the purification sect to "plant trees" on the surface of the earth and risked spreading the news that "acid soil can be purified," many people were skeptical.

There are three main people in charge of the underground city, two of whom are leaning towards the Purification Sect, and the other has an unclear attitude. They adopted the Purification Sect's long-term plan and openly recruited advance residents in the city. It was okay in the first two days, but there was no

I thought that starting from the third day, not only did no one join, but the people who signed up first were canceling their registration one after another. The person in charge of the purification plan was scratching his head when he was suddenly hit on the head with a nutritional cake at the recruitment office.

She called the guards to arrest the man, but the man kept yelling at her that he was not caring about human life. This was a big hat. The person in charge hurriedly called several colleagues over, and after asking the people below, he found out that he had not known what happened in the past few days.

A rumor spread somewhere that the coalition government was trying to trick residents into leaving in order to reduce population pressure in the underground city.

Ordinary residents don't know, but their management does. The underground city was designed to accommodate 300,000 people for a hundred years. Now the total population is less than 100,000. The average age is still decreasing year by year. Such ridiculous rumors are actually spreading.

Under the operation of the underground faction, the situation intensified. The residents who had been suppressed for a long time continued to pour out their anger against the purification faction under the instigation of the underground faction. Soon, the two underground city managers of the purification faction resigned.

The purification plan was put on hold indefinitely, and like a dying bounce, the world returned to its old ways.

Yu Di clenched her fists, wishing to punch these people. She searched for Cheng Die's figure in countless images, and found that she actually led the blue dragon to try to rebel out of the dungeon and return to the surface, and then died tragically from a bullet, carrying a

A large sealed bag containing light white buds fell on the ground and was stepped on by the crisis intervention team.

All the belongings of the two men were confiscated, and their deaths were regarded as a negative case for underground city psychological clinics, calling on managers to pay attention to the mental health of residents.

Yu Di closed his eyes and asked the system: "Do I have another chance?"

The system finally agreed to say - "Once."

"Send me there."

The familiar feeling of weightlessness came, and with a buzzing sound, Yu Di once again lay down in the grave she had crawled out of.

She took out the dirty mask and put it on her face. After thinking for a long time, she reached out and opened the grave.

"You can't count on me. I'll do it myself."
