Ice Age: I can control plant growth

Chapter 14 Official Shelter
On October 2024, 10, three days had passed since the transformation of the "street light flowers".

Li Mu and the other two sat on the sofa in the living room, drinking hot tea and looking at the scenery outside the window.

"Who came up with this idea of ​​adjusting the day off? What a genius!"

"I don't know. I want to know who it is. I have to let him know why the flowers are so red."

Even though the end of the world has come, Li Mu and the other two are still indignant about the holidays and adjustments, even though they don't have to go to work now.

Since finding a calendar in the villa, the three of them have been drawing a circle every day and counting the days until today's National Day.

"Tell me, if the end of the world hasn't come, what should we be doing now?"

Ah Sao picked up the teacup in his hand, blew away the cool air gently, and a trace of reminiscence appeared on his face.

"What else can I do? I guess my parents are urging me to get up and eat breakfast at home, and then urging me to get married while I eat."

Li Mu smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"Yeah, if the apocalypse hadn't come, I'd probably have to worry about urging people to get married again. Although urging people to get married is annoying, at least the family can sit together and have a meal."

There was a hint of sadness in Cheng Cheng's voice.

"Aren't Ah Sao and I your family too? I will definitely find you two beautiful wives to bring home and make your uncle and aunt proud!"

Li Mu patted their shoulders, trying to comfort them.

"Why, you don't want it yourself?"

"Yes, I want to marry ten!"

Li Mu joked.

"Wait to die for you!"

Seeing how shameless Li Mu was, Cheng Cheng and Asao's sadness instantly disappeared.

"It's National Day after all. We can't stay at home all the time. Let's go out and maybe catch some game."

Li Mu has been staying at the villa these days doing experiments. He is eager to move, and he now has some ability to protect himself.

"go!"

Ah Sao and Cheng Cheng shook their heads, just like when they asked him to go out for the night during evening study.

The three of them dressed neatly and walked down the mountain.

Although the snow had stopped, the sun was no longer as warm as before and the temperature outside was still very low. Without a thermometer, the three of them had no idea how many degrees below zero it was.

"Do you think that's a human?!"

The three of them were walking on the snow when they suddenly saw Cheng Cheng pointing at a place at the foot of the mountain and saying.

Li Mu looked in the direction of Cheng Cheng's finger, and saw a dark area at the foot of the mountain, with many small black dots gathering in one place.

"It's really another survivor!"

"Where are they going?"

Ah Sao was a little confused as to why so many survivors suddenly went out together on such a cold day.

"Go down the mountain and take a look. There should be some reasons we don't know about."

Li Mu led the two of them down the mountain quickly. About an hour later, when they were still a few hundred meters away from the foot of the mountain, they suddenly heard a broadcast voice that they had not heard for a long time:

"The government has set up a shelter at Lingyin Temple. All survivors are welcome to join us. All residents who hear the broadcast are requested to follow the instructions, cooperate with the arrangements of the on-site personnel, and enter the shelter in an orderly manner."

As the three got closer to the foot of the mountain, the broadcast became louder and louder.

Li Mu and the other two stopped and looked at each other. They all knew that the government's rescue had arrived.

"Do we still want to go over there?" Ah Sao asked.

"Let's go and take a look. We'll decide whether to join or not when the time comes!"

Li Mu said after thinking for a while.

They quickened their pace and ran towards the group of survivors at the foot of the mountain.

When they arrived at the foot of the mountain, they found that quite a few people had already gathered there. They were all following the instructions on the radio and moving in an orderly manner towards the Lingyin Temple.

Li Mu and his two companions also joined the team. As they walked, they listened to the voices coming from the radio.

The broadcast gave a detailed introduction to the shelter's conditions and the rules that needed to be followed to enter the shelter.

The Lingyin Temple Shelter is a safe haven created by the Xihu District People's Government to provide safety and shelter to survivors.

Currently, there are more than a thousand staff members and survivors in the shelter, and perfect order and management are maintained here.

At the Lingyin Temple Shelter, all residents will be assigned dormitories to ensure that everyone has a comfortable and private living space.

The shelter is fully equipped with basic living necessities, including heating, ventilation and sanitary facilities.

Two meals will be provided every day. At the same time, items can be exchanged in the shelter. Food, medicine, etc. can be exchanged for other resources.

The Lingyin Temple Shelter is dedicated to providing survivors with a safe and stable environment to help them restart their lives.

The administration and staff are continually working to improve shelter conditions and services to ensure that the needs of survivors are met.
Soon, the three arrived at Lingyin Temple, only to see that the temple gate was open and the staff inside were guiding the survivors in.

Li Mu and his two companions followed the crowd into the temple. The temple was clean and tidy. The survivors were standing in a line with their bags, waiting for the next arrangements of the shelter.

"What! All the food must be handed in!"

"Sir, please don't get excited. The food is not handed over for free. It will be converted into 'Hope Coins' according to its value. You can use it to buy everything else in the shelter."

"Oh, is that so? I'll think about it."

A commotion suddenly came from the front of the team. Li Mu and the other two listened to the conversation, looked at each other, and realized that joining the shelter might not be that easy.

As the crowd continued to disappear, it was soon the turn of Li Mu and his two companions.

What appeared in front of me was a registration counter similar to a bank window. A female staff member in work clothes was writing something down with a pen and paper.

When she finished her work, she looked up and saw Li Mu, and said:
"To join the shelter, you need to exchange all the food you have for 'Hope Coins'. Do you accept?"

Li Mu and his friends had just finished their meal, so they didn't bring any food with them. They immediately asked:

"What if I don't have any food?"

“You can also register to join, but all items in the shelter must be purchased with ‘Hope Coins’, and private barter is not allowed.

Starting from the second day after joining the shelter, 5 "Hope Coins" will be charged every day as accommodation and food expenses, but don't worry, we will arrange suitable jobs for each resident, and the salary will be enough for you to survive."

"Does the shelter allow people to go out?"

"We will not restrict residents from going out. Any other questions?"

"Gone."

The staff then recorded Li Mu's name, age, and skills, and asked him to go to the "management office" nearby to wait for arrangements.

Li Mu waited for a few minutes, and after Cheng Cheng and Asao finished registering, he gave them a look. The three of them gathered together and walked towards a place with fewer people.

"Lao Li, what do you think?"

Cheng Cheng and Asao asked Li Mu at the same time.
