Main Character:

Shen Yao

The new year was no different from years past.

Shen Yao still did her technician work, Wei Mingyu went to the police station every day, Wei's father and Wei's mother took care of the three little children at home, and Wei Minzhi was more accomplished, becoming a small group leader at the Animal Husbandry Garden thanks to her good performance.

The situation in Rimu City was quite good, but the periphery was stormy and unstable. Those sent out earlier had not returned, and along with them were their silently vanished traces.

Ordinary people did not know that they were well protected by the authorities; on ordinary days they did nothing more than go out to buy groceries or go to work, and everything else had nothing important to do with them.

But Wei Mingyu and those people heard the news early on; the authorities internally wanted to investigate clearly, but because there was no clue about the missing people.

"The authorities are going to send people out again; according to satellite observation, the situation on the periphery of Rimu City is not good, with some places overgrown with wild grass and beasts running rampant, completely not looking like a place where one can move about."

Wei Mingyu frowned, and when he mentioned this matter to Shen Yao, he was very worried.

Although he was no longer on the frontline, now the people on the frontline were all his former colleagues, and going out was very likely to cost their lives.

"This matter is not up to us to decide," Shen Yao comforted the unhappy Wei Mingyu, "the situation on the periphery, after years of erosion by natural disasters, is no longer suitable for human exploration; if the authorities seek stability, they should stay put and not act," rather than urgently wanting to understand the situation on the periphery and push people into this pit of fire.

"The authorities will not stay put; it's just that this time they will be more cautious."

The authorities proceeded from the overall situation; they could not always be passive, and taking the initiative was the correct solution.

"Let's wait and see first; tell Mom and Dad not to go out recently," the situation on the periphery was unclear and might cause turmoil within Rimu City.

And once the news that the periphery was no longer suitable for human exploration was transmitted back, it would mean that the possibility of Rimu City becoming an isolated island was very high.

After all, Rimu City was connected in all directions, and going to other cities could only rely on transportation, and transportation needed to pass through the desolate wilderness; no matter how one thought about it, it was not safe.

After understanding all this, Shen Yao simply nodded with an "en," saying, "Rest assured, Mom and Dad think more comprehensively than we do."

The two people's topic came to an end; next, they stayed in the room to rest their feet for a while, then turned around to come out and take care of the three playing children.

Since Wei Chengyan had younger siblings, one could say his small days were lived happily.

The only pity was that the younger siblings could not speak, only making babbling sounds and waving their hands and feet; according to what Mom said, they had to wait until the new year before they could play with him.

Sigh

"I really hope they grow up quickly," Wei Chengyan supported his chubby little chin, his whole person looking like a glowing glutinous rice ball.

Wei Minzhi brought back the animal cubs from the Animal Husbandry Garden, and the first thing she did was call Wei Chengyan over to admire them.

Wei Chengyan exclaimed, "Auntie, these are" little chicks and little ducks.

Wei Minzhi smiled and touched Wei Chengyan's head, "They are newly hatched; how are they? Do you like them?"

Wei Chengyan made an "en" sound and said loudly, "I like them."

Who doesn't like cute furry little cubs? Not liking them is what makes one an oddball.

"Then you must take good care of them; the chicken eggs and duck eggs we eat in the future will all rely on them."

Wei Minzhi patted Wei Chengyan's little shoulder; the aunt and nephew seemed to have made some major transaction, leaving Shen Yao standing on one side shaking her head helplessly.

"Send them to the storage room to be raised first;" the smell of the chicken and duck cubs was not small; adults might be able to endure it, but children were a bit delicate and would make a big fuss over a little smell.

Previously Shen Yao had brought back several plants; they had been placed in the living room at home for no more than two days when Wei Chengyan, bringing along the two little ones, started making a scene impolitely.

In the end, these plants were all placed in Wei's father and Wei's mother's room, thus avoiding this scene being performed day after day.

"Sister-in-law, the storage room has insufficient light; why not put them in the newly partitioned warm greenhouse balcony?" That side had sufficient light and was even covered with a layer of glass paper, very suitable for raising these chirping little animals.

Wei Minzhi lowered her head to look at the lively and cute cubs, reaching out to touch and pat them.

Wei Chengyan imitated Wei Minzhi's movements, following along to touch and pat the many furry things in the box.

"Warm greenhouse balcony, aren't you worried they will affect you?" Wei Minzhi now lived with them; the warm greenhouse balcony and Wei Minzhi's room were right next to each other.

Wei Minzhi smiled and shook her head, "It's fine; it can also make it convenient for me to take care of them daily."

The work at the Animal Husbandry Garden over these years had taught Wei Minzhi quite a few skills; taking care of a few chicken and duck cubs was nothing difficult at all.

If it weren't that the birds at the Animal Husbandry Garden could not be taken out for private keeping, Wei Minzhi would even want to give her own nephew a few cute and obedient little birds as pets.

Sighing with emotion in her heart, Wei Minzhi led Wei Chengyan to the warm greenhouse balcony to place the box's chicken cubs; one big and one small, just looking at their backs was especially harmonious.

Shen Yao shook her head helplessly, stood up, and went to the kitchen to take out the ingredients for dinner.

Although the day-after-day life was ordinary and plain, it was also a dream many people could not hope to reach.

Against the background of frequent natural disasters, their whole family living so easily was already luckier than most people.

…………

When the weather warmed up, those sent out by the authorities slowly returned, but those who returned were in a very sorry state.

Shen Yao heard from Wei Mingyu's words that the situation on the periphery was very poor, just as if plants and animals had grown wildly overnight, while humans still remained in the original place.

Oh, saying it that way is not correct; Wei Chengyan's special trait was visible to the naked eye; there were still quite a few such children within the authorities internally, and even in order to give birth to more such children, the authorities spared no effort in promoting fertility potions with mineral components added.

"Recently the authorities will issue a notice; everyone must not leave Rimu City without authorization."

If someone really wants to seek death, the authorities will not stop them, nor will they send people to rescue them.

Shen Yao touched her smooth chin, "The roads to other cities are cut off; can Rimu City still contact the National Policy?"

Wei Mingyu was not certain, "Satellite communication can still be used; it should be possible."

However, satellite phones were not foolproof; once the satellites in the sky lost function, satellite phones would instantly become broken copper and rotten iron.

Rimu City had not fallen into chaos; even though the news had spread from inside to outside, for ordinary people, not going out was not bad at all; originally they did not have the ability to walk on the periphery.

The two discussed it but had no result; in the end, it still depended on how the authorities handled it.

"Hope it is handled as soon as possible; this matter cannot be delayed," most people had no possibility, but a small portion of people still had the ability; Shen Yao did not want herself living well in Rimu City, only to be forced to buy a ticket because of other people's ambitions.

"Rest assured, the authorities have always intended to maintain stability; this matter will definitely be concluded as soon as possible," and they might even exaggerate, making the masses realize the severity of the situation on the periphery.

Wei Mingyu worked at the police station and had always understood this kind of matter relatively well.

Patting Shen Yao's shoulder soothingly, Wei Mingyu mentioned whether they should leave Rimu City and head to other cities under construction.

Shen Yao:... Huh?

"Where did this idea come from?" Shen Yao looked at the gentle-faced Wei Mingyu, not understanding the origin of this proposal.

"Rimu City is still too close to the coastline; we can migrate to the Southwest Highlands," Wei Mingyu said, his mood disturbed by sudden incidents on the periphery, convinced that this turmoil would not end easily, and that over time, Rimu City would surely be threatened.

"The state has placed most of its military forces in the Southwest Highlands; if we go there, safety will be greater."

Wei Mingyu glanced out the window; he was not indulging in groundless worry. He could have remained unmoved by the earlier migration mobilization because the periphery had been stable and had not undergone mutation.

Now even the officials are not too certain; staying behind is just gambling.

"I'm still considering it; the matter of leaving definitely needs to be discussed with my parents," and for now they couldn't leave, saying more would be nothing but discussion.

The official notification came down very quickly, and even the content of the notification was not much different from what Wei Mingyu had said.

The so-called danger spread through the residential community group, and the big shots panicked, declaring they would not leave Rimu City, for where now was safe? Even the Southwest Highlands was a target of natural disaster erosion.

Watching the content on her phone flash constantly, Shen Yao pressed her hand on the keyboard and tapped it.

"Shen Technician"

It was Wu Yong, rushing over in a hurry, asking Shen Yao to dig up a few plants to send to the laboratory.

"The laboratory's plants are gone?" Shen Yao asked while digging with a shovel.

"They died, said to be unsuitable for survival," Wu Yong was troubled by this, and he still had to run to several other experimental fields.

All the plants in this batch of the laboratory had died from disease, with a scrapping probability of one hundred percent; Wu Yong didn't know what those people in the laboratory were doing.

With much complaining in his words, Wu Yong didn't stay long in front of Shen Yao, leaving while carrying a few packed plants.

Shen Yao watched Wu Yong walk away, then thought that Wu Yong was about to be promoted recently.

Well, if it weren't for the awkward situation between Wu Yong and Zheng Cheng and the dog-blood plot, this person really wasn't bad, quite suitable for a simple girl like Wei Minzhi.

Now she could only give up on this; they were not suitable, and being together would only breed resentment from grievances.

The excavated experimental field had several empty plots, so Shen Yao had to take seeds and replant.

The seeds were all produced by the laboratory; after being obtained, they were distributed to the people of the Planting Garden, the grown plants were then sent to the laboratory for research, and after forming seeds, they were returned, thus constantly cycling.

Splash splash—

Carrying a kettle full of water to water the land, ensuring the seeds had been planted, Shen Yao patted her palm and used the clear water to wash the dirt off her hands.

Exhale

"System, look at my experimental field; these mineral powders are more useful than those spirit stone powders. Is this planet almost finished evolving?"

Now the plants she grew were far stronger than the ordinary plants at the beginning, whether in fruiting or taste, they were consistently excellent as always.

Rimu City had long promoted these plants; every household relied on their own planting to reduce daily expenses.

"Host, this planet is extraordinary; perhaps humans can truly cultivate immortality."

Wow haha, after evolution the planet's energy is sufficient; over time, spiritual energy can also be nurtured.

"Humans cultivating immortality, how long until it can begin? The energy contained in these minerals is better applied directly to the human genetic level," also amazing, things that originally acted on genes were not very good, but strangely the minerals newly discovered by humans had no side effects at all, including children born carrying special abilities.

The plants in the experimental field were all cultivated using mineral powder; not only avoiding shortcomings and leveraging strengths to give the plants new advantages, but the connected fruits also had new characteristics, some similar to spiritual plants in the Immortal Cultivation World.

"Minerals are products of the planet; if cultivating immortality, wait another hundred or eighty years."

The System did not think a hundred or eighty years was long; for them Taskers, which world did not take decades of time, and catching up with the Immortal Cultivation World would be even longer.

"A hundred or eighty years? Not too hard to endure, just a few generations' effort," as long as humans survived, the gates of the Immortal Cultivation World would open for them.

Speaking to this point, Shen Yao's mind suddenly moved, and she reacted, "If I contribute a few good cultivation arts to the World Consciousness, can I get more rewards?"

By the time she passed away peacefully on this side, the World Consciousness would not be too stingy.

"Host, you can try," this was a line of thought; even if the Host gave it in the previous second and returned to the System Space in the next second, she could still receive the rewards she deserved.

Time was controllable for the World Consciousness; the vicissitudes of life were but a snap of the fingers.

"Hmm, this matter needs good planning," not urgent for now; her children were too young, she had to wait until the children grew up.

As a very mature Tasker, Shen Yao always had a clear positioning regarding offspring; if possible, good things would definitely be left for them.

The System said a hundred or eighty years until immortality cultivation, referring to being able to use arts to cultivate; actually, the appearance of spiritual energy would be earlier than this.

Shen Yao could hand the arts to her own children when spiritual energy appeared, letting them preserve them, and when they could cultivate, they would be one step ahead, creating more value for her.

To put it bluntly, Shen Yao still put interests first; no one else could make Shen Yao trust them, only the children born by Shen Yao; even if the children had selfish motives, but cultivation arts were good things, could it be that someone would bear not to cultivate? That was simply impossible.

System:...

The System did not know that in just a short while, its own Host had already been twisting and turning in her heart, all calculating for her own interests; cold and icy, she really did not look like an emotional person.

Well, although the Host was indeed not human, having long mixed in the human world doing missions, she still had to put on an appearance.

"Go play, I'm fine on this side," Shen Yao had rested enough, stood up and sent the System away.

The storm of the official announcement did not last long; basically just as it began, it was unknowingly drawn to other aspects.

Shen Yao and Wei Mingyu discussed the matter of leaving Rimu City with Wei's father and mother and Wei Minzhi; finally everyone reached an agreement, to find a suitable time to leave.

"Definitely not recently; the periphery is turbulent without rest, without powerful martial strength to protect us on the road, we absolutely cannot walk out of the scope of Rimu City."

Wei Mingyu signaled that they had this idea in their hearts, to wait for good news.

"No rush; as long as we don't hesitate when leaving, we will definitely be able to go to the Southwest Highlands."

Shen Yao soothed with a few words, then changed the subject.
