Chapter 432 The Vine Factory
Hearing his words, the leader of the scavengers looked over Kensaku Fujiki and looked at the mountains of garbage on the side of the garbage dump.
It's very tempting, but... wanting more than Lilu.
Ever since he witnessed villagers' houses being crushed by rubbish and countless people dying from complications caused by the pollution, he made it his mission to stay here and get rid of all the rubbish.
Today, he sadly finds that the mountain of garbage has only grown in height. The dozens of villages and hundreds of thousands of households that existed here at the beginning have all disappeared, leaving only the rugged and huge mountains of garbage and the poor scavengers.
This is even more tragic than the story of moving mountains in mythology. The growth rate of garbage mountains is much faster than that of natural mountains. What's more, the mountain movers in mythology can also pin their hopes on infinite descendants, and the only child of the leader of the scavengers is here. Died of leukemia.
Seeing the silent look of the leader of the scavengers, Kensaku Fujiki also shook his head, sighed with his hands behind his back, and left in a luxury shuttle with others.
"Scavenger associations are not qualified to be citizens of Anjiu City." He concluded the report and provided it to the Anjiu City Council as an internal reference. "Their daily job is to wander and dig on the garbage mountain. Ignorant, poor, uneducated, so short-sighted and greedy, common With severe malnutrition and various underlying diseases, it is a huge burden on the entire city."
A few days after the councilor left, the leader of the scavengers continued with his daily routine.
He dejectedly led people to complete the day-to-day sorting, cleaning and excavation work, destroying harmful waste as much as possible, selling valuable waste, and burying useless waste or burning it to generate electricity.
Thirty-six million tons. The leader of the scavengers can vaguely calculate the total amount. The association of scavengers has disposed of so much garbage in the past 30 years. Environmental protection is always the last thing people think about. When a group of them die from various pollution-induced diseases, the garbage mountain will soon flood Anjiu City.
Maybe then people will understand how serious it is.
At night, after burying a deformed child, the leader of the scavengers hunched over his dirty little bed in a mixture of mourning and numbness.
He was in pain all the time, chronic kidney disease and bouts of pneumonia from the sewage and exhaust fumes, but his body was so adept at enduring the pain that he would fall asleep when the pain was mild.
The shorter his sleep, the more dreams he had. He hardly slept a few full long sleeps, so he had endless dreams, most of which were weird dreams. The garbage mountain was blown away by the wind overnight, And the village was rebuilt.
But today's dream is especially special.
He dreamed that the rubbish mountain was covered by huge, strong green plants, their flowers exuded a pale golden light, crushing the rubbish like a python strangling an animal, leaving only endless treasures and raw materials, and the air became fresh , the earth is covered with greenery.
"If you want your dream to become a reality..." The vicissitudes of life echoed in the head of the leader of the scavengers, "...take everyone away and don't look back."
After waking up from the dream, the leader of the scavengers was terrified.
He wandered and lived in a daze for three days, having the same dream every day.
Take them all and don't look back.
"What's wrong?" Shaba Jiro and his sister came to visit the leader of the scavengers one day, and saw his dejected appearance.
"Take them all," muttered the leader of the scavengers, who lacked the courage to do so.
"What do you mean?" Saba Jiro was puzzled.
"Take everyone away, what will happen?" The leader of the scavengers looked up at the sky covered in gray-yellow smoke, "...what will happen?"
"Leave the garbage mountain?" Shaba Jiro was startled, but realized that this was a helpless move, "then... let's go, and leave the garbage mountain behind."
This slightest support also made the leader of the scavengers make up his mind. He asked the healthy-legged Saba Jiro to go to the distance of the garbage mountain to call for people, while he rode a tricycle and went door-to-door to publicize, so that everyone in the scavengers association The members all come out and leave with him.
"let's go!"
"Boss, let us go!"
"It's time to go!" The scavengers greeted their friends, and the scavengers who were looking for "treasures" on the garbage mountain hurried down from the mountain one by one.
They lifted the sick, the disabled, and the bedridden from the houses, roped the mentally ill, and took the homeless, forming a strange, ragged community that gave off the stench of years of dealing with garbage.
The leader of the scavengers watched them silently.
Before the city people dumped their rubbish on this land, there used to be cottages all over the place, and the villagers were healthy, honest and strong, numbering in the tens of thousands. However, only 5,000 people are still living here, clinging to the leftovers left by the city, becoming the hated untouchables.
"Let's go." The leader of the scavengers turned his head and walked out with the five thousand people.
"Where are you going?"
"Where are we going?" they shouted one after another.
where to go The leader of the scavengers knows nothing. At the city's borders they would be stopped and slaughtered by drones sent by the company.
There is no place for the low-level people like them in the whole world.
Why set up a society of scavengers? Just pretend that you haven’t seen all this, and stay far away with books all day long, and keep all your knowledge of environmental pollution prevention and control in your blueprints and plans.
One area after another is polluted, so what, working hard to move to a better place to live, the countryside is not a place for people to stay, the social law is that human beings must bear industrial pollution, that is, a group of people deserve to give birth to deformed children, drink Radiation waste water.
The leader of the scavengers was filled with various thoughts in his heart, he walked forward silently, and suddenly stopped.
earthquake.
Earthquake... what happened? He couldn't help turning his head back suddenly, and the scavengers also stopped, following the movement and looking towards the garbage mountain behind them.
They froze in shock, unable to move.
boom!
There was a huge gap in the ground, and a funnel seemed to appear at the bottom of the garbage mountain, devouring them frantically. At this time, the huge garbage mountains could not defy the laws of physics, and fell into the abyss one after another.
Immediately afterwards, countless huge vines stabbed out in a staggered manner, and each vine end dragged a flower-shaped predator, but it was not for the purpose of devouring human life, but for constantly wrapping and picking up the garbage. They could clearly see the garbage along the plants. The stalks were swallowed, and the entire mountain of garbage was overwhelmed by wildly growing plants in a few breaths.
"Miracle!"
"A miracle happened!"
"Wow——" the scavengers shouted and fell on the ground one after another, looking at the grand and terrifying scene in front of them in horror. Nature showed its infinite power at this moment.
Flowers emitting golden light bloomed from the tops of these giant plants one after another, and a large number of vines sent the garbage into the flowers, causing the garbage to be decomposed in the phantom light and slime.
Countless novel plants that they have never heard of grow from the garbage mountain, and the size of the garbage mountain has become unprecedentedly reduced after being swallowed and turbulent. It can only be described as a garbage hill.
The blades of grass grow and the plants multiply!
The original rubbish mountain has now turned into a strange and bizarre woodland, as if each plant has its own method to deal with pollution and garbage, and the vines that are speeding and grazing are working like sorting arms in a factory. The garbage is handed over to various alien plants for disposal.
They are in line with botanical laws. The scavengers leader rubbed his eyes. He also remembers what he learned in the past. It's just that they don't belong to this era, they are some super ancient vegetation.
But what is all this about?
After a while, the garbage mountain has turned into a dense forest. Before the scavengers came back to their senses, their homes were already covered with huge fir trees and maple trees. The top of the mountain of garbage rises to illuminate it all with its shining light!
The mountain of garbage - without a trace!
"We're saved," murmured the leader of the scavengers.
He still felt unbelievable, and asked everyone to wait outside for a while, wanting to measure the brand new land with their feet.
Going alone into the great forest, the wasteland and the rotting earth turned into a fresh forest, and he had never felt his home smell so good, he went to the biggest golden tree, and under its shining roots, he again I saw the familiar figure, a man in a mask and a hood.
"It's also convenient to dispose of garbage now." Xu Yang pressed one hand on the golden tree's whiskers,
"You...you did it." The leader of the scavengers staggered forward, holding Xu Yang's hand, his voice choked up.
Dreams can also become reality. He was filled with emotions.
"I want to innovate everything, everything." Xu Yang said with a calm attitude, "But you must also understand that all miracles have a price to pay, and some dedication must be provided in exchange."
The leader of the scavengers heard the sound of a deer, and in a blink of an eye saw the largest and most beautiful stag he had ever seen standing in the forest. The pale fur symbolized supreme holiness.
"It needs followers." Xu Yang said.
"Of course...it saved our lives." The leader of the scavengers took a deep breath, feeling that the lung disease that had plagued him for more than ten years was gradually easing up.
"With the help of these rare plants with unique uses, the garbage will be transformed and the soil will be cleaned up." Xu Yang turned his head and pointed at the transformed ancient dense forest landscape, "But there are still a lot of garbage that needs manpower to help, and a new one will be built nearby. Living quarters, new waste incineration power plants, waste recycling stations and processing plants. Environmental protection is an eternal cause that requires your wisdom.”
"I have knowledge, but we need investment." The leader of the scavengers pondered, "And Anjiu City will not accept us, and we will not forgive them!"
"If you go to Nisto Company, they will probably help you," Xu Yang said.
"Thank you. Thank you," the leader of the scavengers lamented. "You rescued those witch babies from the dump, and now you have wiped out these mountains of garbage. My only question is... who are you?"
"Ordinary people." Xu Yang patted him on the shoulder, "Let's go, a new life has begun."
Yes. A new life begins. The leader of the scavengers sighed secretly, his thoughts endless.
How fickle is fate! First, he was tortured violently, but at this moment, this miracle of unprecedented scale made up for all the sufferings of the first half of his life and saved the future of countless people.
However, moving mountains is not the end, and he has to continue to deal with the huge amount of garbage produced by the company city. Fortunately, this has changed from a hopeless drudgery to a career with little promise.
In any case, an ugly wound in the ground healed.
