After walking out of Ziyuan Town, you are almost in the Evergreen Forest.
"Brother Mo, the rain seems to be stopping."
Ah Hui didn't need to remind him, just by the fewer and fewer raindrops on the front window of the car, Chen Mo could tell that the spring rain that had been falling all night was coming to an end.
Ah Hui opened the car window.
The fresh air after the rain in the forest slipped in through the cracks in the car window, refreshing the dull air in the off-road vehicle.
Chen Mo also became more energetic. He glanced at Brother Yi who was sitting in the rearview mirror with no change in his expression. He hesitated and asked.
"Brother Yi, what did you mean before when you said the first new type of city where humans and elves coexist?"
After the words fell, Ah Hui, who was holding the green caterpillar, also looked back. After all, as a native of Anping City, he was also very concerned about this matter.
"It's a city where humans and elves coexist."
"...Can you elaborate?"
Brother Yi didn't hide much from Chen Mo and Ah Hui.
After a joint application by Professor Zhou and some people from the World of Warcraft Research and Countermeasures Bureau, it has been decided that Anping City will be the first pilot city in the country to try to integrate some human-friendly elves into urban life and encourage urban residents. Actively raise elves.
certainly.
Not all residents of Anping City are willing to live with the 'Warcraft' in the same city. The Anping Municipal Government is also arranging manpower to conduct willingness surveys on a household-by-household basis.
Those who are unwilling will receive compensation from the state, just like demolition, and will be ordered to move out of the city, waiting for willing families from across the country to move in.
Those who are willing to stay will also receive some financial subsidies from the national government as rewards and support.
"This...must cost a lot of manpower and material resources..."
Ah Hui secretly smacked his tongue.
Just after briefly listening to Brother Yi's description, Ah Hui could feel the difficulties that this new policy might encounter in its implementation.
Brother Yi's expression showed no emotion, he just said calmly.
"Change is always difficult at first, but the important thing is to try. As long as the possibility can be proven, then all the costs paid in the process will be worth it."
From Brother Yi's words, Chen Mo could faintly sense the official determination to change this chaotic situation.
"Brother Yi, can I ask again, when was this new policy finalized?"
"last night."
"……ha!?"
Seeing the shock and disbelief on their faces, Brother Yi gave a rare smile.
"Of course things are not as simple as you think. The World of Warcraft Research and Countermeasures Bureau has simulated many plans for the problem of elves. This new policy was originally one of them, but its priority was not very high, or even relatively low, until It was recently dug out by Professor Zhou and discussed again."
"And the reason why it happened last night is the same as what you are thinking. The incident between Xiaoyou and the cursed doll made many people who were hesitant finally make up their minds."
Having said this, Brother Yi stopped talking.
He glanced at Chen Mo and said slowly.
"You did a great job yesterday. I have been watching that live broadcast."
Chen Mo smiled. He kept looking at the forest path that continued to extend in front of him, without much intention of taking credit in his expression.
"It doesn't have much to do with me. What I did at that time was just like you, Brother Yi."
Ah Hui and Brother Yi looked at each other, smiled, and said nothing more.
at this time.
The group of people noticed that the visibility of the road ahead was getting lower and lower, and layers of milky white mist drifting from the forest gradually obscured everyone's forward direction.
"It's getting foggy…"
Ah Hui murmured.
It is not uncommon for fog to form after rain. In addition, it is early in the morning, the temperature is low, and the surrounding environment is still on a forest trail, so a sudden fog is not incomprehensible.
Although there was a high probability that there were no vehicles driving on this trail, Chen Mo turned on the fog lights and slowed down again.
Anyway, we are getting closer to our destination, so we are not in a hurry.
No one paid much attention to the sudden appearance of the mist. Ah Hui lowered his head again, took out a leaf from the bottle beside him, and began to feed the green caterpillars in his arms.
"Eat more, Brother Mo said. As for the green caterpillar, you need to eat more in order to evolve quickly."
The green caterpillar happily ate the leaves at the tips of Ah Fai's fingers, but Ah Fai felt a little melancholy in his heart.
Generally speaking, after the green caterpillar has absorbed enough energy, its body will begin to shed its skin. After three to four times, it will spin silk around itself during the molting process, and finally complete its evolution into an armored pupa.
This process does not take long. Usually within a week or two after birth, a green caterpillar can complete all molts, accumulate enough energy, and evolve into an armored pupa.
But.
Ah Hui's green caterpillar eats a lot of leaves, but it has not experienced a single molt since birth.
This makes Ah Hui worried every day.
Sure enough, is it still due to congenital deficiencies...
Looking at the green caterpillar crawling up his arm, standing upright and screaming softly, Ah Hui suddenly came back to his senses.
He smiled and suppressed the negative emotions in his heart.
"Okay, okay, I know you're still hungry, so I'll get you new leaves right away."
Just as Ah Hui turned slightly sideways and was about to take out a few more leaves from the bottle, he suddenly felt that the vehicle was slowing down and soon stopped.
After feeding the leaves to the green caterpillar, Ah Hui raised his head and looked at Chen Mo.
"What's wrong, Brother Mo?"
"There's an elf on the road ahead."
"ha!?"
Ah Hui's spirit was shaken, and he instantly recalled Absolu's previous blockade and the terrifying and oppressive big rock snake. .
"Where? Where!?"
Seeing Ah Hui's nervous look, Chen Mo smiled and waved his hand.
"It's okay, he's just a cute little guy. I didn't expect to meet him on the road. It's quite interesting."
Chen Mo turned his head and looked at the back seat.
"Brother Yi, please turn on the live broadcast first. While the little guy hasn't left yet, let's give the audience some science knowledge. Just treat it as the first serious science education in Evergreen Forest."
Brother Yi, who returned to work mode, nodded and without saying a word, he picked up the camera next to him and started debugging it quickly.
Soon, the live broadcast room opened.
Although it started broadcasting suddenly, there were still many viewers who rushed into the live broadcast room immediately.
[It actually started broadcasting in advance! Is this still the Mo Bao I know? 】
[I knew I couldn’t believe the live broadcast preview posted by Mo Bao on the Xiaopo website. Fortunately, I was prepared, but it was a pity for those who were still sleeping soundly. 】
[Didn’t you say you don’t expect to arrive at your destination after ten o’clock? Why is the live broadcast starting at only nine o'clock now? Did you arrive early, or did you finally realize your conscience, Mo Bao? 】
