Chapter 1:
In the tenth year of the last days, a thousand wastes are waiting for prosperity.
In order to rebuild their homes and resettle the survivors, and to encourage planting and rebuilding granaries, the state distributes land according to the head and provides a series of welfare policies: "From now on, the first 1,000 people who take the initiative to register to receive land will receive one month's rations, and at the same time Taxes are exempted for the first five years, and the state also promises to provide professional help in agriculture.”
"Those who are willing to register to claim the land now, please go to the hall to register."
Lin Ling stood among the crowd and listened to the country's call, and looked into the distance silently. The gray sky was filled with countless fine dust, the desolate city riddled with holes, the burned mountains and forests, and the remnants of the end of the world everywhere. Mark of.
She always remembered that she was abandoned by her companions to die in the first year of the end of the world, but when she opened her eyes again, she found herself lying in a temporary residence in the safe zone. People in the temporary residence came and went, and there was no one around Knowing her, no one cares who she is, and no one cares how she got here. Only a woman in the next bed said that she came in two days ago, and she had been lying on the bed without moving since she came in. If she was not breathing, she would have thought she was dead.
Lin Ling originally thought that he was just rescued, but after listening to the conversation of the people in the temporary residence, he realized that it is already the tenth year of the end of the world, half a year after the end of the world, and now the country has started to arrange for everyone to rebuild their homes.
So she guessed that she might have been reborn on someone else, but before she had time to ask, she was called here with others.
"No one knows what it looks like outside. What if there are still zombies and mutant beasts hiding?"
"I'd rather stay in the safe zone and starve to death than go out and seek death." Although the end of the world has been over for half a year and the country has sent troops to clean up hidden crises, people who have experienced this experience are full of panic about the outside world. The policy is very attractive, and there are still very few people who are willing to leave the safe zone.
"There is one month's ration." There have been planting lands in the safe zone to provide food, but everyone has to use points to exchange for food, and points are hard to earn, so some people are still very tempted.
"So what if you have rations? Do you know how to farm?"
Everyone was silent, "If someone has wood-type abilities, it will be better to go out to farm than to stay in the safe zone."
Lin Ling listened to the conversation of the others, looked down at a green vine wrapped around her finger, reached out and touched its branches and leaves, it wrapped around her finger domineeringly, and tightened it tightly until she couldn't stand the pain, The green vine quickly let go and hid it in her sleeve.
She didn't know what it was like outside, but her stomach throbbing with hunger suggested that she get a month's rations first.
Therefore, Lin Ling became the first person to sign up.
"Name."
"Lin Ling."
"id number."
Lin Ling was stunned for a second, and then handed the identity plate she was wearing to the other party: "CD32341174."
The moment he handed over the ID tag, Lin Ling remembered that he hadn't figured out his current situation, and was worried that the staff would find out that his name and ID number didn't match.
But the clerk looked at it, didn't say anything, and registered directly. After some operations, he handed the land use right certificate to her: "You are a wood-type supernatural power, and you will be allocated more land."
Another person handed her rations, seeds and an old mobile phone, "You are the first person to register, and you can receive three months of rations according to regulations."
"The agricultural encyclopedia has been installed on this mobile phone. You can refer to the information on it. In addition, you need to report your progress on it every month. If you are in danger, you can also ask for help through it."
Lin Ling glanced at the phone, "What should I do if the battery runs out?"
The clerk gave Lin Ling a professional smile, "Find out your own way."
Lin Ling: "..."
When she walked out of the office hall holding the land use right certificate in one hand and the rations, seeds, and contact tools distributed to her by the staff in the other, many people surrounded her.
"You are so young, why can't you think about it so much?"
"The outside world is not a safe zone. If you don't have the strength, don't die."
Lin Ling looked down at the heavy rations and licked his teeth, "The first fifty registered people will receive three months' rations."
three months?
Those who were still hesitant rushed into the hall immediately, and they were willing to do anything for three months of food rations.
Lin Ling, who had hidden his achievements and fame deeply, curled his lips and smiled, and then strode outside. Although the outside world is still unknown, it is better to guard the ground alone than to face people with different thoughts all day long.
Lin Ling went back to the temporary residence to pack up her things.
The woman in the next bed watched her pack her things: "Are you really going to claim the territory?"
Lin Ling hummed.
The woman clicked her tongue, "Fool, we ordinary people will die if we go out."
Lin Ling reached out and grabbed the woman's hand that was in his ration bag, and said coldly, "Put it back."
The caught woman sneered: "Anyway, you won't live long if you go out, so I'll help you eat for your own good."
Lin Ling re-tied the bag and carried it up, stretched out his hand and pushed the woman away, "How long do you think you can stay here?"
The woman glared at her: "What do you mean?"
The safe zone is indeed a good shelter, but the end of the world is over. In order to restore order and rebuild their homes, the country will dismiss the people here sooner or later, so that everyone can return to normal life.
Moreover, food is the foundation of a country. The first step in rebuilding our homeland is to cultivate food, and more people will be needed to cultivate it later.
Whether you like it now or not, you have to go in the future, it's just the difference between early and late.
Lin Ling packed her luggage, ignored the woman, and walked directly to the gate of the safe area.
There was an army green truck parked at the gate, and there were already several people in the truck, all of whom had just received the land. When the people are all together, the car in the safe zone will **** them to their destination to prevent them from dying on the way.
The few people in the car sat sparsely, all on guard against each other, and no one spoke. After Lin Ling got into the car, he was sitting in the corner of the truck with his rations in his arms. At this time, two black off-road vehicles drove up and stopped beside the truck. ?”
The person who stood beside the truck and was in charge of the roll call gave a military salute to the people in the car: "Report, we are sending them to the southern district that has just been cleaned."
The driver glanced at the people in the car, and clicked his tongue in distaste, "Are the rats in the gutter daring?"
Rebuilding their homes is not an easy task. Most people dare not take a step outside the safe zone. They would rather starve to death than go out and take risks. Therefore, in the eyes of those who rushed ahead and worked hard to clean up hidden dangers, they look down on them. of these people.
The people in the car were a little dissatisfied when they heard this, but they didn't dare to say anything. In the last days, the strong are respected, and they dare not oppose them.
The driver noticed the dissatisfaction of the crowd, and gritted his teeth, "You son of a bitch."
Lin Ling frowned, and glanced at this flamboyant person. The green vines wrapped around her fingers quickly stretched out with the anger in her heart, and grew longer and longer, almost unable to hide.
"To shut up."
"Drive." The person who spoke was sitting on the co-pilot with closed eyes and resting his mind, with a hat on his face, only showing half of his stubbled chin, "Alright." The driver stepped on the gas pedal , It drove out with a bang, raising dust all over the sky.
Lin Ling raised her hand to cover her mouth and nose, and buried her head down.
After the two cars walked away, there was a low curse from the car, but it finally fell silent again.
After waiting for a while, everyone arrived, and the truck slowly drove out.
After leaving the safe zone, Lin Ling looked up at the towering city wall in the safe zone, which was covered with dried dark red blood stains, as well as burnt black marks and broken marks from fighting and collisions, all indicating the end of the end of the world previous fierce battles.
Recalling the blood-red and dark sky all day long, and the smell of blood and rancidity in the air, Lin Ling was still terrified, but she didn't want to recall too much, and she just rejoiced that everything was over.
Although she didn't know what was going on, she was very glad that at least she didn't have to hover on the edge of despair all day long, and she didn't have to face the despicable and twisted human nature anymore.
Lin Ling looked greedily at the desolate wilderness outside. Occasionally, a few wild birds would pass by at low altitude, making clear and melodious birdsong. They used to think that it was good to be dead, but now they feel good to be alive.
The only young woman in the car besides Lin Ling slowly moved to Lin Ling's side, and asked her in a low voice, "Where is the land allocated to you by the state?"
"I'm in the South District, 118.46E, 40.903N." The young woman didn't care whether Lin Ling was listening to her or not, and continued, "I've divided a total of 200,000 mu, which is about the size of a small town. Look at the map. There are several mountains, water, and plains, and there are not many areas that can actually be planted, but it looks pretty good to me."
"After that, I will plant all the land that can be planted with grain, raise a few pigs, and raise a few chickens and ducks. I will be self-sufficient in the future, and I will never have to worry about food like before."
The young woman's voice was very low, but it couldn't hold back the empty silence of the world, and her words fell into the ears of others.
Listening to the woman's words, everyone fell into a beautiful imagination, "I want to grow some food first, and then I will talk about filling my stomach first."
"I also want to raise two chickens. I haven't eaten them for many years, and I have forgotten what chicken tastes like." The more everyone thought about it, the more they became greedy, and they wished they could fly to their own piece of land and start working.
Lin Ling was no exception. She thought that when she arrived, it would be spring plowing season. At that time, she could plant a few acres of rice first, then half an acre of vegetables, and raise a few chickens and two big fat pigs.
Thinking of waiting for the harvest season in autumn, the fields will slowly turn into a piece of gold, Lin Ling also began to look forward to the future, when the grain is full, chickens and ducks will flock, and they can eat whatever they want. It's exciting just thinking about it.
Because of this imagining, the people who were on guard against each other softened the atmosphere a lot, and the originally dull journey also became a little more relaxed.
After the truck traveled all the way for four days, the people on board got off the truck one after another and went to their own land. In the end, only Lin Ling was left in the truck.
In the early morning of the fifth day, she finally arrived at the land that belonged to her.
