[Environmental Pollution-02]
Yue Xingwen pressed the "Course Selection" button on the tablet, and a familiar message quickly appeared on the screen—
[Required Course: Environmental Pollution]
[College: School of Environment]
[Credits: 3]
[Exam room rules: The maximum number of people in the exam room is 12 (excluding X members)]
[Course description: The urban environment where you are located is polluted, and the survival of human beings is in serious crisis]
[Exam Requirements: Survive 14 days]
[Confirm Course Selection: Yes/No]
Since the word "survival" is mentioned in the course description, it seems that this is a survival challenge in an extremely harsh environment
Yue Xingwen looked back at everyone, and warned: "Survival course, after everyone enters the examination room, first try to see if the research group channel can type, and report your location. If the research group channel cannot be used, just stay put and wait for a while. Figure to find someone."
Xiaotu can use the song "Find, Find, Find Friends" to find nearby teammates. Hearing this, Ke Shaobin immediately nodded and said, "No problem, if everyone is scattered, I will let Xiaotu find you."
Seeing that the teammates were ready, Yue Xingwen pressed the "confirm button".
A cold mechanical voice sounded in my ears: "Congratulations to the C183 research group for successfully selecting a course, the "Environmental Pollution" course exam is about to start, please wait..."
At 8 o'clock, everyone's eyes were black at the same time.
When he regained his vision, Yue Xingwen couldn't help widening his eyes, looking at all this in front of him in disbelief—
Where is this environmental pollution? Is this the end of the world? !
I saw that the whole city was covered with a layer of yellow sand, and there was no trace of the blue sky at all. There was a pungent dust smell floating in the air, and the visibility was less than 50 meters.
The worst sandstorm that Yue Xingwen has seen in news pictures is nothing but this.
And this city is far more than just a dust storm.
Yue Xingwen quickly looked around. The soil as far as his eyes could see was corroded by something. The color was very strange. The branches of the trees drooped listlessly, and the leaves were dry and gray, blown by the sandstorm, and fluttered everywhere like paper money at a funeral.
Not to mention the brightly colored flower beds by the roadside, there is not even a lawn, but there are many high-rise buildings.
The whole city is like a desolate and dilapidated city of doomsday, with no trace of life in sight.
However, there are still many people living in this city. When Yue Xingwen opened his eyes, he was standing on the street. Several pedestrians passed by him, all of them wearing thick masks, dust scarves and protective gear. Eyepiece, still wearing a white plastic coat that resembles a raincoat, hurriedly walking.
On the contrary, he, who was not wearing a mask and hat, looked like an outlier.
The people around him cast strange glances at him, as if looking at a gorilla running out of a zoo.
In an instant, the sand blew all over his face, and a lot of dust got into his hair. Yue Xingwen frowned and covered his mouth and nose with the sleeve of his left arm, and opened the research group channel with his right hand—the input box is not disabled, it can be Communicate with teammates.
Just as he was about to type, a message from Jiang Pingce appeared on the research group channel: "Xingwen, where are you?"
Yue Xingwen looked around and reported his location: "There is a building directly in front of me, the sign reads Huaxiang Building, and there is a crossroad next to it."
Ke Shaobin happily said: "I'm also nearby, Xingwen, don't move, I'll come to you!"
Immediately after, several teammates sent messages: "I saw the sign of Huaxiang Building." "I'm at the back of the building."
Some teammates could not see the signboard of the building, and each reported the surrounding landmarks.
Yue Xingwen reminded: "The sand is too big to tell the direction, everyone don't move, let Xiaotu find someone as soon as possible."
Ke Shaobin immediately summoned Xiaotu and asked Xiaotu to sing to find his teammates.
After half a minute, Yue Xingwen heard a crisp nursery rhyme behind him.
In the windy and sandy weather, it was difficult to see the scene in front of him, but the transmission of the sound was not affected. He followed the direction of the singing and turned towards the small picture. After walking a few meters, he saw a cute white robot turning around the corner. After arriving at him, the light on Xiaotu's head flashed, and he reported in a clear voice: "Master, find a teammate."
The coordinates of Yue Xingwen immediately appeared in Ke Shaobin's laptop. At the same time, Yue Xingwen also typed on the research group channel: "I see the small picture."
Ke Shaobin immediately commanded: "Xiaotu, continue to scan the surroundings."
Robots do not rely on their eyes to see things, but rely on radar scanning. Sandy weather will affect human vision, but it will not affect the function of small pictures. Soon, Xiaotu searched around according to Ke Shaobin's navigation and found Jiang Pingce again.
Yue Xingwen followed Xiaotu. The moment he saw the disgraced Jiang Pingce, he was stunned for a moment, and he said with tears in his eyes, "Pingce? I almost didn't recognize you!"
Jiang Pingce is obsessed with cleanliness. In Yue Xingwen's impression, he is always clean, likes to wear neatly ironed shirts, and has a cold aura of refusing people thousands of miles away, just like the hero of an idol drama who has strayed into college.
But now, Jiang Pingce's hair was blown like weeds by the wind, his hair was full of sand, and there was a layer of yellow sand on his face. He had never seen Jiang Pingce look so embarrassed.
Come to think of it, he must be pretty much the same now.
The two looked at each other, Jiang Pingce raised his head and glanced at the wind and sand shrouding the city, and said helplessly: "First find an indoor environment and avoid the sandstorm."
As soon as he opened his mouth, sand and dust poured into his mouth.
Jiang Pingce frowned and closed his mouth, motioning Yue Xingwen to go to the building in front with his eyes.
Yue Xingwen nodded and followed Jiang Pingce to Huaxiang Building, typing in the research group as he walked: "Students who can see the Huaxiang Building's signboard, go in first and wait in the lobby at the entrance. The picture is coming to find you."
After entering the door of Huaxiang Building, Yue Xingwen stood behind the door and patted the dust on his body.
The sand and dust floating in the air were really pervasive. The two only stayed outside for a few minutes, not to mention their clothes and hair were covered with sand, and there were even traces of sand in their ears.
Yue Xingwen said while digging his ears: "The environment here is too bad, right? Have you noticed that there is not even a single green tree in the whole city, and there are no flowers and plants on the roadside, it is a wasteland."
Jiang Pingce quickly brushed the sand off his body and hair, and said, "It may be because of soil pollution. Plants can't survive here." Seeing that Xingwen's hair was messy like a bird's nest, Jiang Pingce couldn't help reaching out and said softly. : "Close your eyes."
Yue Xingwen didn't know what the other party was going to do, but he still closed his eyes obediently.
Jiang Pingce's fingers lightly passed through his hair, shaking out all the sand in Yue Xingwen's hair, and then used his fingers as a comb to help him comb his messy hair.
Gently slide your fingers across your scalp and feel comfortable.
Yue Xingwen squinted his eyes and waited for him to finish, then opened his eyes and said, "I know you discuss the messy environment the most. Next, we have to live here for half a month, you have to bear it."
Jiang Pingce said lightly: "Well."
At this moment, Xiaotu entered Huaxiang Building with a group of teammates.
Yue Xingwen glanced at him and was relieved to see that all the members of the research team were here. It's just that the classmates were all disgraced, and a group of people seemed to have just rolled around in the soil and were very embarrassed.
Lin Manluo's long, smooth and shiny hair had been dyed into a "silt version" of grayish yellow. She shook the soil on her hair and said helplessly, "This city is full of air pollution, soil pollution, and water pollution. But I found that the residents on the city streets did not panic, as if they had adapted to such an environment?"
Ke Shaobin wondered: "Moreover, their outfits are all uniform, everyone wears strange masks, headscarves, goggles on their eyes, and raincoat-like coats, so they don't show a single bit of their body. Outside!"
Liu Zhaoqing had a straight temper and couldn't help scolding: "I fucking thought I was in the big desert, and the sand blew away my eyes, but I found out that this is actually a city?"
Xu Yishen's curly hair has the most sand in it. While scratching his hair, he said, "The residents of this city are dressed like the special forces in the end-of-the-apocalypse movie, and the masks are too exaggerated."
Xin Yan explained in a low voice: "It's a gas mask. There are several layers of filters in the position of the breathing valve, which can not only filter the sand and dust in the air, but also filter the poison."
Zhang Xiaonian whispered: "The environment is so bad, have they thought about moving to other places? How can the residents of this city endure living in such an environment for a long time?"
Jiang Pingce suddenly said: "What if they were here from birth?"
Everyone turned to look at him.
Jiang Pingce said: "Judging from the reactions of the people around them, they have long been accustomed to such an environment. Perhaps they have lived in such an environment since childhood. They have never seen the blue sky or breathed fresh air. Everyone wears masks and goggles, and it becomes their daily dress when they go out. There are no green plants or flowers in the city, but this is their home.”
Judging from the calm mood of the residents, such speculation is extremely likely.
Yue Xingwen said with a serious face: "They have grown up here since they were children, and they have already adapted to such an environment. When you were young, you wondered why they didn't move? I'm afraid, they have nowhere to move, because other cities are similar. "
Jiang Pingce nodded and concluded: "The world we came to should be the end of the environment."
Goose bumps all over Lin Manluo's body kept popping out.
She often goes on internships with her teacher. She has never seen such a harsh environment in reality. Human beings living in such an environment will definitely have many health problems. Breathing such air every day will shorten their lifespan.
There are no mutated animals in this world, and no virus transmission...
This is environmental doomsday.
Humans can still live. It's just that the quality of life is horribly low.
Blue sky and white clouds, flowers and green trees, people in this world have never seen it before!
Lin Manluo took a deep breath and said, "As outsiders, we must not be able to adapt to such a place suddenly. We are required to survive for 14 days. What should we do about drinking water and food?"
