Was it the quarantine circle or life circle? Elder Tong couldn't help the niggling sensation. It was like after a moment's reprieve, some minor yet important detail was different. Looking around, the command central was busy as ever, but… Elder Tong's eyes landed on a water cup next to him. He remembered finishing the water but now the cup was full. 'What is this life circle project?' Elder Tong turned to one of the screens. He saw trucks and carts carrying plants like trees and flowers as well as livestock like cows and sheep towards the border of the mutated area. Some of the plants were being planted into the ground, others were abandoned just like that; the animals were chased into the hurriedly built pens.
