Chapter 169: Plateau Destruction

Shu Fu looked at the map panel in her hand. This panel would permanently display the current water conditions in real time. Even without an internet connection, it could instantly transmit the latest water conditions on the planet to her.

Several days ago, on her way to the Northland Plateau for rescue, she had looked at a map of the entire Northland Plateau.

The Northland Plateau was originally a horizontal plateau land, narrow from north to south and long from east to west.

But at that time, except for the mountainous areas with higher altitudes in the west, the areas to the east, northeast, north, southeast and south were all shown on the map as island land.

Some of the islands are separated from each other by a distance, some are connected together, each of which is the site of a town, and the rest are all water.

But no matter what, the existence of land can still be seen.

Now, the large dark green land to the west of the Northland Plateau appears as dotted islands, and those island lands that were once shown as dark green icons have disappeared from the map. The entire eastern and central regions of the Northland Plateau from north to south have become a uniform light green.

It was not until she zoomed in on the light green water that she could find occasional dark green icons on it, which meant that these few remaining land areas were very small and were most likely higher mountains near a town.

If the map is stretched further south, two dark green icons of the same shape can be seen in the waters near Xiren Province. They should be two official giant ships. From the scale on the map, it can be seen that the remaining land areas in the central and eastern parts of the Northland Plateau are not as large as these two giant ships.

The northern plateau completely disappeared.

**

In the underwater dining area of ​​the snack bar raft, everyone looked unhappy after hearing Shu Fu's words. Although they couldn't see Shu Fu's map panel, no one would doubt the information Shu Fu provided.

She said that the Northland Plateau disappeared, but it was not submerged by floods like other plains and hilly areas. In those places, if you dive below a certain level of water, you can still see the existence of cities and buildings underneath.

However, the land of the Northern Plateau first fell apart in the terrible earthquake, shattered into pieces, and was finally swallowed up by the multi-directional tsunamis caused by the earthquake.

Since then, Hua's northern plateau has completely disappeared from the planet.

It was dinner time. Ever since the snack bar raft was towed, even though it had not officially opened for business because it had not yet recruited employees, everyone would gather here spontaneously at dinner time.

The main reason is that the fully automatic kitchen is so convenient that you don’t have to cook by yourself, and everyone also wants to see how the machine works.

Therefore, during the lunch and dinner hours of these two days, Hua Qiong would come over to activate the automatic machine. Others would not usually sit at the table and wait, but would gather together at the kitchen outlet, curiously watching the machine serve the food.

The ten dishes of the automatic meal machine cannot be fixed for the time being, because this machine is so easy to use. Hua Qiong basically changes it every day. The dishes in the past few days include: bubble wontons, tomato scrambled eggs, hot and sour cucumber, leek egg pancakes, spicy soup, scallion pancakes, pepper and salt fried chicken steak, green pepper and potato shreds, celery and mushroom fried wontons, spiced braised chicken and duck feet, fish soup seafood noodles, pan-fried fish fillet, typhoon shelter fried prawns, spicy crab, sauce fried squid, scallion and ginger fried clams, salmon sashimi...

They had been living on the raft for so long that the pork and beef stored in their backpacks were almost used up, and in the breeding house, except for the chickens and ducks, the other animals were not yet mature.

Currently, the next batch to mature are rabbits and some species of sheep, but it will take more than 20 days depending on the situation.

So at this stage, apart from chicken, other meat dishes in the snack bar are mainly seafood.

Every household on the raft had plenty of seafood, and even if they didn't fish, Shu Fu would give them a batch every once in a while under various pretexts. At first, they were a little restrained, taking out a basket and sharing it among everyone.

Later on, he could no longer restrain himself and just sent them in baskets.

The main thing is that her automatic water fishing rod can ignore all winds and waves and water conditions, and she can catch three baskets of fish every day. At the beginning, everyone also made various complex dishes such as stir-fried onions and ginger, spicy stir-fried, iron plate barbecue and hot pot.

However, to cook seafood well, not only does it require certain cooking skills, but the process is also complicated and time-consuming. After the excitement of trying new things has passed, people quickly return to the basics, boiling or steaming all seafood, and then adding soy sauce to eat directly.

In this case, it would be great if there was a machine that could skip all the intermediate processes, allowing raw seafood to go in and finished seafood to come out.

Although the automatic meal preparation machine can only learn and record ten dishes at a time, Hua Qiong only needs to prepare one copy of all the different dishes and put them into the backpack. When the menu needs to be replaced or modified, she can delete a recorded dish and take out the one to be replaced to learn again. It basically does not take any time.

In order to ensure that every dish tasted the best, she spent raft points to hire skilled people to make some of the dishes that she was not very good at.

For example, seafood is what Longsheng is best at, and every dish is made by him. Hua Qiong gave him raft points and asked him to help make the finished product. He put it into the backpack and took it out when needed.

For example, leek egg pancakes and spicy soup are the specialties of the newly arrived retired captain Tang Li. It is said that they are made in a special way and are the flavors of his hometown. They are his favorites, so they are made by him.

There is also fish soup seafood noodles, which is Jiang Dai’s specialty and also the taste of her hometown.

Scallion pancakes and braised chicken and duck feet are the crafts of Zheng Feifei's mother. Scallion pancakes are the best dish of Zheng's father. Although the mother and daughter don't always talk about it, Zheng's mother always makes scallion pancakes. She wants to make the taste of Zheng's father, but she always feels that something is missing.

Until recently, probably because she made it so often, Zheng Feifei told her mother that she had succeeded. She could now make scallion pancakes that tasted exactly like her father's.

So this time when Hua Qiong was collecting dishes, she also contributed these two specialties.

It can be said that the current menu of the snack bar is the result of the efforts of all the friends on the raft.

Hua Qiong will randomly change the menu these days, mainly depending on the availability of raw materials. Fried chicken fillets and spiced chicken feet and the like cannot be supplied every day because the output of the breeding house has not yet caught up.

But as for other vegetables and various seafood, basically there is as much as you want. Especially the seafood dishes, Longsheng's cooking is so delicious, with the skills of a restaurant chef in peacetime, so it is extremely popular.

When Shu Fu went over, everyone had just finished dinner. Since the snack bar hadn't hired any employees yet, everyone took care of the garbage and cleaned the table themselves and were talking about the earthquake and tsunami.

Because when the disaster happened, most people stayed indoors as usual, so they didn't know what happened outside. I had heard some of what Chen Fa and Lu Zheng had said before, and now after listening to Shu Fu's description, my heart was heavy.

Chen Fa, who was sitting next to Shu Fu, reached out and patted her shoulder, took out a bowl of fish soup seafood noodles and a plate of spicy and sour cucumber from his backpack, and said that they were reserved for her after he ordered them.

The raft had just been tossed by a tsunami today, so everyone had a simple and plain meal.

There were plenty of ready-made meals in Shufu's space, but she really couldn't eat any more at this time. However, she thought of Liu Shuang who was still in the attic, so she put the two meals into her space and said she planned to go to the shelter behind to take a look.

In the attic monitoring room opposite the shelter, apart from Liu Shuang himself, only Shu Fu can enter.

Although there were some food in Liu Shuang's backpack, they were all stockpiled on land. Most of them were instant foods such as canned food, noodles, and instant noodles. He also stockpiled some rice, noodles, meat and vegetables, but they were all raw food and had to be processed again before they could be eaten.

At the entrance to the cottage, Liu's father and mother, who lived on the first floor, heard the sound, opened the door and came out. When they saw it was her, they immediately smiled and asked her if she had eaten. They said they had made dumplings with cabbage and pork filling two days ago and wanted to keep her for dinner.

Shu Fu smiled and said that she had already eaten, then went upstairs.

These days, their family is tidying up the living space on the first floor and preparing to move back to Liu Shuang's place from the hotel. This is mainly because Liu Shuang has to stay in the attic during the day, checking the surveillance screen at all times, and has basically no time to take care of his three meals a day and his life.

She didn't care at all. She had instant food in her backpack, so she could just open a can when she was hungry. She was too lazy to go downstairs when she was sleepy, so she could just lie down on the sofa in the attic with her clothes on and sleep. For her, the conditions were many times better than when she was on a mission before.

Moreover, Shu Fu would come to the attic several times a day, and each time she would give her various cooked foods and drinks such as coffee to refresh her. Liu Shuang said frankly that she would not feel tired even if she did such a task for a year.

But in the eyes of her parents, this was definitely not an option. Their whole family was on the raft, so how could they let their daughter eat the meals delivered by Shu Fu every day? Anyway, they had lived in the hotel for so long that the novelty had worn off, so they said hello to Han Lan's parents and moved back to Liu Shuang's raft.

The living space on the first floor has two bedrooms and a living room, but the total space is nearly twice as large as their previous residence in Sand City, so it is no problem for two sisters to live in one room.

But Liu Zhen immediately said that she still wanted to stay in the hotel, which had single rooms and was close to the tree house library, making it convenient for her to read. Besides, she was not as busy as her sister, and the hotel had a kitchen so she could cook by herself or go home for meals.

The little daughter has grown up and has her own ideas. In addition, a snack bar appeared on the raft island in those days, right next to the tree house library, making it easier for Liu Zhen to eat.

The main reason is that Liu Shuang has been traveling outside for so many years, and Liu Zhen has always stayed with her parents. In fact, she also yearns for an independent life.

Finally, things were settled. When Liu Shuang knew that his parents were going to move in, he took out all the luggage and belongings he had taken from home from the backpack compartment, as well as some new home furnishings he had bought for their residence on the raft, and let them decorate their home as they liked.

She also put a folding sofa bed in her own room. It was a good thing that her sister wanted to live independently, but she must prepare her bed at home so that she could stay there whenever she wanted to go home.

Liu's father and mother were not in a hurry. They arranged a little bit every day and started to deliver meals to their eldest daughter in the attic three times a day. Although they could not enter the attic, they could still go up the stairs. They just had to knock on the door and Liu Shuang would answer.

So, in addition to Shu Fu's feeding, Liu Shuang also received feeding from her parents during these two days. She felt like she had to eat eight meals a day, which made her question her life. When she didn't have to control the opening and closing of the door, she would do push-ups in the attic to digest the food.

At this moment, Liu Shuang was checking the surveillance screen. When he saw Shu Fu coming in, he subconsciously felt that his stomach was a little full, so he quickly stretched out his hand to refuse: "I'm full, don't take it."

Shu Fu, who was about to get some fish soup and seafood noodles: …

Okay, she has a lot of space anyway, so she can keep it first.

Shu Fu also sat down in front of the surveillance screen and asked Liu Shuang about the situation in the shelter.

On the surveillance camera, a dozen people had just settled the three injured people on the corresponding metal bed boards.

Although they have experienced earthquakes, car racing, falling into water...but their backpacks are basically still there, which contain the most important supplies for each of them. The backpacks are not only waterproof, but also reinforced in various ways to ensure that they can be firmly fixed and not easily fall off after being carried on the body.

There were medical supplies for treating wounds and simple drinking water in the backpacks. After they had treated the three wounded, they sat down at the dining table in the hall in two groups and were eating the drinking water from the backpacks. Some people were talking in low voices, discussing not only the terrible earthquake and tsunami disaster not long ago, but also the shelter they were in now.

Even though they didn't know much about the situation inside the other psychics' raft cabins, they knew that even the rafts of the psychics would not be able to survive such a huge tsunami.

But this uniquely shaped house not only survived, but also remained intact.

So, what exactly is this place?

Liu Shuang gestured to the monitoring screen and first talked about what he had observed and monitored: "They are two teams. There should have been some conflicts between them. The smaller team helped the larger team to rescue people - the three injured. Each of their teams has other members, and they should have evacuated to the ship in the afternoon... They were stranded because of the rescue. They were the last group of people in Zhangcheng. They were also very vigilant. They observed the shelter several times but did not use the facilities inside. One of them probably did not dare to use it recklessly for fear of offending the owner of the raft, and the other probably did not know how to use it..."

Normally, once a formal refugee arrives in a shelter, there needs to be an "executive" to patrol the place.

At first, we helped the new refugees get familiar with the environment of the shelter and briefly explained the rules of the shelter, such as no private fighting and no snatching other people's water. Violators would be restricted in their movements, and in more serious cases would be expelled from the shelter.

The food machines in the shelters have both plates and food. As long as the refugees swipe their wristbands on the food machines and select the staple food, the machines will automatically serve the food. After finishing the meal, the tray return port is also on the food machines.

The cups for drinking water are in the cabinets in the bathroom of each room, and each cup has a letter or number corresponding to the bed number.

The room doors are all locked. Only when someone is assigned to a room can the door be opened with a wristband. The beds are all fixed metal beds with fences and ladders, but there are currently no mattresses on them.

In addition, Liu Shuang has also checked and found that this shelter currently has nothing except two basic meals and unlimited drinking water.

There were no mattresses or bedding, no paper towels in the toilet, not to mention toothpaste, toothbrushes, towels, soap, and all the other daily necessities.

However, because they had just escaped the tsunami, they had not had time to discuss the matter of the "executive" and had not had time to discuss these details.

Of course, for outsiders who were originally in a dying state, the current environment of the shelter is good enough. After all, it can shelter them from wind and rain and protect them from disasters. There is a place to rest, water, and toilets. So why would they need a bicycle?

"But if there is, it would definitely be better. After all, there is not even a roll of toilet paper in the bathroom. It's okay for half a day or a day, but it's definitely not okay for more than a few nights..."

Shu Fu nodded. She remembered that she had wanted to try using the red first prize on the shelter before, so she mentioned it directly to Liu Shuang. Both of them were quick-witted, so they decided to use it immediately.

So Shu Fu got up again and prepared to go back to the Drifting Island House.

When she was about to leave, Liu Shuang grabbed her. Shu Fu looked back in surprise, and the other party motioned for her to look at the screen.

Shu Fu looked at the surveillance screen again, and saw a thin and handsome young man silently looking at the camera on the surveillance camera of Room B, which was away from other people. When she looked over, the man seemed to be looking at her through the screen.

"How perceptive! They actually found the surveillance camera." They had checked in the shelter before, and the camera was not completely hidden, but it was also different from ordinary cameras in reality. It was perfectly integrated into every corner of the shelter. If you didn't check it extremely carefully, you wouldn't be able to detect the existence of the camera at all.

The man looked at the screen for a moment, and suddenly took out a small waterproof bag from the inside pocket of his clothes. He opened the waterproof bag and took out something from it - a lollipop.

Liu Shuang was stunned.

The other person raised the lollipop, pointed it in the direction of the camera, and said, "We'll meet again someday - Holy Mini Raft, is that you?"

Liu Shuang: …

Shu Fu: ...
