Day by day in the infinite game

Chapter 207 207. Travel in the Desert ([-])

Planting trees and greening the environment is a great meritorious deed that can benefit the present generation and benefit the future generations. The trees planted by the predecessors will benefit the future generations.

The state has always invested special funds in environmental protection projects such as desertification prevention and control, soil and water conservation, and desert greening.

The "China Forest Law" also clearly stipulates that citizens have the obligation to plant trees.

Specific to individuals, in areas where conditions are met, each person over 11 years old, as long as they are not in special vulnerable groups such as the elderly, weak, sick or disabled, should plant 3-5 trees every year.

Put it this way, and do some calculations, everyone almost owes a lot of "tree debt". If the people of the whole country are combined, this "debt" can probably circle the earth N times.

The greening projects in most urban areas are already very mature and well done. Wetlands, botanical parks, green belts, etc. not only beautify the environment, but also help reduce exhaust gas pollution and noise pollution caused by urban industrialization.

With the progress of the times and the development of science and technology, many people have fulfilled their tree planting obligations through "Cloud Tree Planting". They collect various life energy on the online platform and exchange it for different tree species, which are planted by local tree planters and rangers on their behalf.

In domestic deserts, wastelands, Gobi and other areas with sparse vegetation and exposed surface, there is a little-known group of people who have been silently contending with the forces of nature for many years, carrying out afforestation, desert greening, wind protection and sand fixation from generation to generation, inheriting the fearlessness of wind and sand. The spirit of "desert sand control people" who work tirelessly and conscientiously.

……

On the long desert with flying yellow sand, a group of people were walking with their heads down, one foot deep and one foot shallow, one foot shallow.

Above the head is a cloudless blue sky, and a fiery sun that is constantly evaporating water vapor on the surface of the earth, making the mouth dry.

They are well armed and wrap their heads and faces tightly with clothes and hats, which can not only protect them from excessive ultraviolet rays, but also prevent wind and sand from hitting their faces and blinding their eyes.

"It's too hot. If I don't find a cool place to rest, I'm afraid my skin will peel off later." Lan Lan used her hands as a fan, trying to find a bit of coolness for herself.

Even though it felt hot, no one exposed their skin, and their sleeves and trousers were tightly tied up.

Tang Qinqin's situation is a bit better. She wears a "normal suit" and has a certain function of temperature regulation.

Everyone has brought enough drinking water in their backpacks, and they are not afraid of thirst, but no one dares to drink in large quantities. They only drink small amounts many times to relieve physical fatigue.

"Qinqin, can you still walk?" Song Yuanze looked at his girlfriend beside him and took a step forward while speaking. As soon as Tang Qinqin said he was tired, he squatted down and carried her on his back.

"I'm fine. It's absolutely fine." Tang Qinqin rolled his eyes.

They appeared in this desert at the beginning of the game. So far, they have been hiking for two hours.

The excitement of arriving in a new environment at the beginning has been unknowingly dried up by the sun above our heads. Now they are all withered and droopy, like salted fish that can't turn over no matter how hard they jump, relying only on a "faith" "Step forward mechanically.

They have a side mission. If they want to start the main planting mission, they need to find the local forest ranger and sand control person first.

Otherwise, in the vast desert, not to mention planting trees, it would be considered good for them to survive well by themselves.

"The desert is so dry and there is a serious water shortage. Will the survival rate of tree planting be very low?"

"It's not high anyway, but it must be very difficult. Otherwise, our generations of predecessors in desertification control would have covered the land of the motherland with green."

"It's not just a matter of water shortage. Desert areas have large temperature differences between day and night, and strong winds and sandstorms, which are prone to sandstorms. Didn't news reports in our Beijing area always say this is the case?"

"I actually really want to see the little tree I claimed on the online platform to see if it has really been planted, taken root, and grown..."

"I heard that there are also dangerous little animals such as scorpion lizards in the desert. They hide under the sand during the day in order to cool down and avoid the sun."

Some of the players who were in good physical condition chatted about one thing or another while walking, in order to divert their attention and prevent themselves from being trapped by anxiety.

The mobile phone signal is very unstable in the desert, sometimes strong and sometimes weak. The compass may be affected by the magnetic field and always swings.

However, there is no end to the road, and Xu felt that these young people who were "ignorant of worldly affairs" and did not know the taste of suffering passed the test, and the desert finally showed mercy to them another desert style.

"Hey! Pinch me, am I dazzled? Why do I see plants?" A player shouted excitedly to the people around him.

"Where is it? You said there, wow, it seems, it seems to be true!"

As everyone looked, in the distance, low creeping vegetation was scattered scatteredly on the ground.

Everyone's eyes are shining with the light of hope.

Seeing vegetation means that you are close to the water, and being close to the water means that you are probably close to the area where humans live!
The target person to be found in the side mission is likely to be ahead. This news is like a carrot in front of the donkey, causing everyone to be filled with endless "fighting spirit" again.

"Let's go over and take a look." Even if we miss, at least we can get a rare shade.

……

Yang, the elder of Huyang Village, was carrying a shovel that he never left behind. He was waiting for the team to gather and continue to inspect the newly planted saplings.

Although he is in his early 40s, he has bronze skin all over the deep hills and valleys. This is the result of inheriting his father's legacy and being rooted here all year round, accompanied by the wind and sand.

A strong black dog followed him, and saw Lao Yang looking back at it and wagging its tail.

"Wang!"

"Old man, you are here to accompany me to inspect my work again." Lao Yang smiled, his grinning mouth revealing teeth that were in sharp contrast with his skin color.

Several men who looked similar to Lao Yang came over one after another, and finally there were two women who were tightly covered with headscarves. Without exception, they all carried shovels in unison and walked to Lao Yang's side. .

"Let's go and have a look at Experiment No. 117. The wind and sand have become stronger recently. I don't know if the seedlings can survive."

When Lao Yang saw that everyone was gathered, he walked in front and took the lead.

The black dog following him suddenly started barking in one direction. The villagers stopped and looked along the dog's line of sight. For a long time, they faintly saw more and more figures moving closer and closer.

"Lao Yang, what's going on?" asked a villager. The climate and environment here are relatively harsh. It's not a scenic tourist attraction, and it's far from a prosperous big city. There are very few outsiders coming here.

Even if there are, it is only occasionally some young people who call themselves "adventure fanatics" come in small groups, come to live for three or two days, go through the motions, and satisfy their desire for adventure.
