Chapter 11: 11
Chapter 11 She brought back a lot of food! (first watch)
"It's back, it's back!"
Can research department, Zhang Heng strangely looked at the deputy director's happy expression, running like in that department that can turn into a duck ability user, in front of him like the wind brushed past.
"What, who is back?"
Truong Hang looked strangely at the deputy director's figure, still holding half a block of cornbread brought out from the dining hall in his hand.
He couldn't eat it right away, mainly because this cornbread was too hard. Even if his teeth were good, it would take him at least an hour to finish it.
Zhang Heng himself still felt relatively satisfied, after all, food resources were becoming increasingly scarce. The fact that he could eat eight-tenths full every day was because he was a researcher.
What he was worried about was his one year old daughter, the child was too young, she could only eat some soft and chewy food, but now where could he find soft and chewy food, he could only feed her the cornbread he ate every day.
If it were a time of peace, this move might have been a real hit. However, corn has long since become extinct. Nowadays, corn is all about science and technology and ruthlessness. Even if machines grind it into powder, that powder will scratch your throat.
A year old child's voice was so loud that he cried out in pain when he ate, the family heads were worried and had no choice but to do so. Zhang Heng was currently calculating, if he didn't bite his lips, the whole family would starve, and he would give the food to his wife to eat. If his wife had nutrition, she might be able to produce breast milk, and the child wouldn't have to suffer such a great sin.
Seeing Zhang Heng's sorrowful expression as he entered, the colleague who was originally bowing his head to check yesterday's records asked with concern:
"Still worrying about your daughter's food?"
"That's right, the child cries after eating something, and cries when not eating anything. One year old, poor nutrition, already looks so big, if I had known earlier, I wouldn't have given birth, so the child wouldn't have been punished along with them."
Zhang Heng sighed, even if the country tried its best to put on a positive front, but no one was blind, now the food distributed every day was getting less and less, everyone could guess, afraid that the last batch of unpolluted seeds would not be able to escape.
"We are all considered middle and upper class, but our daily life is not good, and ordinary people are even more miserable."
The colleague said this and sighed: "I heard that the entertainment department is working overtime again, because the monthly food allowance has been reduced by one level now. In order to stabilize everyone's emotions, they are chasing new games."
Zhang Heng shook his head: "Not enough to eat, and the game is fun to play, but it's useless. I just hope that it doesn't cause a large-scale mental infection event."
The two were talking when they heard a loud rumbling noise, and the ground seemed to be shaking. They were shocked and quickly ran out to see.
Saw again ahead on the road, indeed running through rows of trucks, on the side of the trucks, each with a rice bowl icon sketch.
"Food department car?"
"How long has it been since the food bureau sent a car? What happened?"
Can study in the department quite a few people ran out to stand at the door to watch, from three years ago countdown second list after all seeds were contaminated, the grain bureau immediately empty barrels loudly, this is still the position once in three years see it such a big battle.
Everyone was discussing animatedly. Zhang Heng saw through the car window that the soldiers were all armed and dressed in heavy equipment, obviously carrying out an important mission.
Suddenly an unimaginable guess came to his mind:
"These vehicles seem to be grain transport vehicles, and there are also armed escorts… Are they all used to transport grain?"
As soon as these words were said, the surrounding discussion fell silent. A few seconds later, someone said bitterly: "What a vain dream, in this day and age, where is there any food left?"
"You can find a rice, I have the same last name as you."
***
"Soybeans, 30 tons!"
"Wheat, 200 tons!!"
"Rice, 250 tons!!!"
The staff in charge of recording the weight of these food items became more and more excited as they read: "There are 15 tons of other vegetables such as eggplant, cucumber, green beans, spinach, radish, and pickles!!!"
Not only was he excited, the other people cleaning up around him were also extremely excited, wishing they could replace the machine with themselves.
Even when facing the danger of the apocalypse, the leader still maintained his composure. At this moment, he was standing in front of these food supplies, and his hands trembled uncontrollably as he waved them.
Hurry to the research department and deputy director through the strong defense, just stepped in, was shocked by the wheat in front of the mountain with wide eyes.
"So many, but they are all uncontaminated food??!"
"There is still so much water, so clear and unpolluted water..."
To be honest, even with their current status, they have never seen so many natural food crops, their eyes were all fixed:
"I wouldn't even dare to dream of doing such a thing..."
Invited in particular, several old and weak botanists held heavy rice grains in their hands, their eyes filled with tears of joy:
"Not only is it not contaminated, but each plant is extremely high yielding and has extremely strong activity, and has a very high probability of being able to survive in the laboratory."
"So good, so good, humanity is saved!!!"
The chief's eyes were already red, but hearing the botanist mumbling, he finally couldn't suppress his agitated emotions.
She looked back at Ha Vong An, her lips trembling:
"Vong An, thank you, you are saving all humanity..."
"So much, you actually brought back so much food."
Her voice was trembling.
Although the chief has always been determined to maintain the [Saving the World] plan, in reality, she doesn't have much confidence in this plan.
Just like the person who opposed this plan said, putting the whole world's safety on one person, this is too risky, and too serious.
But she still chose to maintain it with all her might under pressure, because before destroying the time source, other than carrying out this plan, Xia Kingdom had no other choice.
But who could have thought that Xia Wang An, who was crossing the world for the first time, without any help, traveling alone, could bring back so much food.
Xia Wang An had already washed the rice she was wearing and was sucking on the noodles. The noodles were hard and full of science and technology, completely lacking the soft and hard texture of Ming County, but she was still happy to eat them.
Hearing the thanks, the young girl raised her head, took a sip of the last noodle equivalent to a tooth test, and blinked:
"Actually, there are still many that I cannot bring back, mainly because there are too few people in Minh Huyen. Even if they all help transport, they still cannot transport much."
That world was originally desolate, the descendants of the mutant plants exploded and were even more scarce. This small place in Ming County, counting the surrounding villages, had a population of only one thousand eight, and this still counted the elderly and children.
It was because they had already formed the habit of "gathering to burn the food crops, preventing the seeds from taking root and sprouting", and each of them actively transported the grains that Xia Wangan had destroyed to Gaojia Village, that Xia Wangan was able to bring back so much.
But, there are more than grain corpses, left in the fields!
The chief was really satisfied and smiled, today was probably the moment she smiled the most in recent years:
"Enough, it's been a long time since I've seen so many natural food crops."
Behind her, was the other group leader, who was also smiling like a flower.
"Vong An, do you have anything you want? As long as you open your mouth, the entire Ha nation will be backed by you!"
After finishing the last sip of soup, Ha Vong An put down the bowl. Hearing these words, the black-haired girl's eyes lit up bit by bit.
"Is anything really possible?"
The chief smiled and nodded: "I said, anything is possible."
Fifteen minutes later ——
Just got home from work, Ha Xuan was feeding her daughter broken porridge, but no matter what, she refused to let her in.
Ha Xuan just felt extremely tired, and when her husband Truong Hang returned home, both husband and wife felt extremely tired.
She has a hobby, which is writing novels. Although her results are relatively mediocre, in this era where basic desires cannot be satisfied, at least writing novels can satisfy a part of Xia Chun's spiritual desires.
But, she has been gone for more than half a month.
Because she felt more and more that life was hopeless, she knew that Xia country had become much stronger than other countries, but, every day she couldn't eat enough and the food wasn't tasty, and she still had to watch her children starve. She only felt like she was watching the entire world move towards despair, there was no hope left.
Novels are originally to place all kinds of hopes on humanity for the fantasy world, and now, Xia Chun feels that she has lost this kind of hope.
"Eat something, if you don't eat you will starve to death..."
The couple hung the same dark circles under their eyes, almost as if they were kneeling to beg their daughter.
But the child did not understand what the adults said. He was clearly hungry and refused to eat a mouthful of porridge. Just when the couple was at a loss for words, there was a loud knock on the door.
"Next."
She looked at the child who was being held in her husband's arms, no matter how she tried to coax him, he kept crying and wouldn't stop, and opened the door.
Outside the door, two soldiers carrying wounded soldiers stood up straight and gave him a simple military salute:
"Hello, may I ask if you are the author of "Those Years I Was in the Cultivation World"[Crazy Fantasy Sesame Cake]? Has it been more than half a month since you last updated this book?"
"The country now requires you to continue to innovate, please cooperate."
Ha Xuan: "..."
Behind holding the crying baby Truong Hang: "..."
Ha Xuan silently closed the door, then silently opened it again.
The two soldiers still stood outside the door with serious expressions, completely unlike her imagination.
Her: "..."
Because Mao's country will ask her to renew the novel!
Half an hour later, the one year old child who had just finished eating the soft and crumbly rice porridge was sleeping soundly in the arms of a national civil servant.
And her mother, was frantically typing on the keyboard in front of the optical brain.
Can see on her brain screen Xia Wang An eating peach while standing behind her looking at the delicious smell.
——in fact, she could have just sat on the sofa and watched it directly on the same screen, but Xia Wang An felt that it would have a more lingering feeling.
Outside the room, Fan Ju was a sharp-witted person who had come from the front lines of the alien battlefield. He first hurriedly went towards the granary and looked at the grain crops inside carefully over and over again before coming over excitedly.
She looked through the window and saw a beautiful young girl chasing after a novel:
"Making such a great contribution, this child just needs to beg the author of her novel to restore and update it?"
"That's right." The chief was also looking at Ha Vong An, his eyes filled with love, respect, and tenderness: "This child is too pure."
"The more so, the more we must protect her."
Perhaps Ha Vong An herself did not feel that she needed protection. She was used to being alone, used to solving problems herself, used to only telling her troubles to 007 in her brain.
But like she was unconsciously aware, she was also used to always following the group of record keepers, used to the restaurant chefs always bringing the most delicious food to her, and used to the friends coming to visit her whenever they had time.
So, standing behind Ha Xuan watching her write the novel turned into four people.
Ha Xuan: "..."
Although this feeling is really strange, but considering that this is a national mission (so why does the country want her to write a novel!) she still dutifully updates a chapter.
After the renovation, we still need to face Xia Wang An's various problems.
For example, at this moment, the young girl's face looked expectant:
"May I ask how you deal with the issue of cultivators who meditate for long periods of time and become demons?"
Ha Xuan:... Whoever writes cultivation novels will consider this kind of strange problem!
But she still seriously wondered for a while, and gave an answer:
"I think that when spiritual energy circulates throughout the body, meditation will not cause demons, because when a cultivator is cultivating, the body may appear motionless, but in reality the spirit is always active."
Ha Vong An immediately clapped his hands: "That's right! I thought so too! I answered correctly!"
She excitedly turned her head to look at her three friends.
Nguyen Ninh smiled and praised: "Vong An, you are really amazing, you can answer all of these questions correctly."
Xia Wang An's face immediately showed a bit of pride.
The more rigorous the hypothesis is, the more likely it is to become true, and the less likely she will be confused, so for her, being able to clearly brush away the little bug [Sitting in Meditation Will Become a Demon] is a very congratulatory thing.
Ha Xuan:... It's just a hypothetical novel, why so happy?
At this moment, she was still in a state of confusion.
But very quickly, after finishing a chapter, Xia Wang An left with satisfaction. Xia Xuan still couldn't understand, then heard a staff member wearing a uniform say with a bit of admiration:
"Your fate is so good, but you were chased by classmate Vong An in the novel."
What's wrong with the novel?
Xia country has fallen to use national resources, calling to the novel author level one young girl scene still continue??
Isn't this funding throwing a brick at the destruction of the country the night before?
Then, Xia Xuan, full of resentment, was taken to a large room.
How big is it, this room holds more than 300 people, each person in front of them either has thick pages of documents, or is filled with brain screens.
Very tall and tall.
But when working, there are either impatient, gritting teeth, or complaining, all kinds of sounds that intersect, no matter how lofty the scene, it also often seems extremely even vulgar.
"The one hundred and seventh edition of the Talisman Encyclopedia, send me a bit, let me see if this background can match."
"I feel like there's a bit of a problem with the "Cultivator Costume Award" going out to wear this. Little Zhao, help me contact the [Clothing Department]. Let's discuss it later."
"Spiritual power logic group, a few people, do some experiments."
"Has Agricultural History Professor Cheng not arrived yet?"
"No, Professor Cheng was invited by the [Immortal Sect Architecture Group] next door, and is expected to return in two hours. How about I go invite Professor Ling? Professor Ling just returned from the [Mythology and Legend Group]."
"Who designed this "Flying Sword Manipulation All Kinds of Hand Pressing and Chanting Incantations" number 37?! What do you think? A cultivator with the bones of an immortal stepping on a flying sword and gesticulating with his hands 666?? Quickly give me another design to erase!"
Xia Xuan stood there in a daze, she understood every word in her ears, but when put together she was completely unable to understand each sentence, her entire body was dumb.
"Hey, what are you guys doing??"
The new staff member in charge smiled and introduced her:
"Our work content is: Taking protecting Xia Wang An's mental state as the core, within the scope of her understanding and acceptance, design a complete worldview of immortal cultivation."
"This will also be your job, please rest assured, the salary and benefits will far surpass your current job."
Xia Chun's expression was confused. Xia Wang An, the young girl who chased after her in the novel, what did this complete worldview of cultivating immortality mean?
But for some reason, hope arose in my heart.
She took a deep breath and asked, "So, what department are we in?"
The staff smiled and reached out to her:
"Welcome to the 99th group of the Salvation Plan: Hypothetical Background Group."
***
"99 nests?"
Xia Wang An was surprised and his eyes widened slightly: "That many?"
She had only come into contact with the [World Planning Group] before, and this was the first time she knew that, apart from this group, there were still so many people working hard to build the immortal cultivation world.
"That's right, like me and Thu Trang Nguyen Ninh, who will follow you to cross the world together in the future, will be assigned to the [Transmigration Action Group]."
Thai Thai was happily munching on freshly cooked corn while chatting with Ha Vong An:
"You know, anyone who joins this plan will sign a protection document, the content of which is, no matter what happens, we will pay any price, even if it means paying with our own lives, to protect you."
Ha Vong An was also eating corn, hearing this, he was even more surprised: "Me?"
"That's right, so our Wang An is now a worthy national treasure."
Ha Vong An never felt like he needed a protector.
But she really likes this feeling of everyone being willing to protect her, treating her like a treasure, immediately wanting to eat her up, suddenly giving birth to wild and crazy phantom corn.
Thai Thai saw her face full of corns, couldn't help but feel itchy, reached out and rubbed it:
"Don't worry! My arrows are very accurate now! I will protect you well in the future!"
One can beat her ten times Ha Vong An: "Oh, okay."
Two girls leaned in to talk, while two boys quietly munched on corn on the side.
For a moment, the years are peaceful.
Until the manager of the gate, Mr. Niu, shouted loudly:
"What are you four hanging upside down at the door for? You think you can scare me to death!"
Ha Vong An was hanging upside down when he saw him coming, but he didn't feel anything, and was pulled down by Thai Thai:
Run!
She was about to say, "Master Niu can't beat us again," but her legs had already honestly followed and ran together.
The few people who were trained by the speed ability user Zheng Shanhe were too much, not to mention anything else, they ran away so fast that Master Niu couldn't catch up, he could only angrily curse from behind:
"You little bastards! If you have the ability, don't come back!!!"
Four young people laughing and joking kept running to the outskirts of a small area, panting and covering their lungs and mouths to breathe.
Ha Vong An was the most relaxed, only breathing a little faster than usual, but for some reason, looking at her three little friends panting and laughing, she also smiled.
Thai Thai quickly covered her mouth and gasped:
"Vong An, do you still remember, when we were in elementary school we often played like this, we ran, the principal chased behind, but it was fun."
Ha Vong An tried to recall a bit, regretfully shaking his head: "I don't remember clearly."
Xia Wang An once threw away many memories to suppress her mental pollution, but she couldn't quite remember why she wanted to throw them away.
Unable to think of reminiscing with her friends, she felt a little anxious and her fingers twitched, wanting to do the test to ease it a bit.
Nguyen Ninh quickly noticed, he stretched out his slender hand, with thin calluses on the palm, just like when he was young, gently holding Ha Vong An's hand.
Ha Vong An raised his head to look at him, only to see the young man in front of him smiling gently, saying to Thai Thai:
"I don't remember clearly either, who still remembers things when they were young."
Thu Trang's side: "Dua! I went to the same middle school as you guys, you're talking about elementary school, isolating me!"
Thai Thai slapped him away:
"It's okay! We'll play with Mr. Niu more in the future, and it'll be about the same!"
Ha Vong An was stunned, then the corner of his mouth curled up slightly, and he seriously nodded: "Yes!"
She was very happy, Nguyen Ninh saw her smile, also very happy, Thai Thai although did not know why the two suddenly laughed, but also could not help but reveal a smile, Thu Trang was still smiling foolishly.
So in the end everyone was happy, except for Mr. Niu.
Just when Xia Wang An was enjoying playing with his friends, one by one the food trucks arrived. Now these people were already five parts full for several days and now they were not enough to eat.
Carry a bag of food, even bring up although not enough, but still be effort to maintain fresh vegetables, open to the areas.
