Chapter 49 Lou Yuncheng

She seemed to have entered another dimension, a world with nothing but water. The raft inside the protective shield was impacted and began to shake and spin, but fortunately, after the shaking was transmitted to the wooden house through the double protection, it was still within the range that the human body could withstand.

At this time Shu Fu finally remembered that the Drifting Island House had a good shock-absorbing function. She had tried to shake the small raft inside together with the drifting bottle, but after taking out the raft, the things inside the Drifting Island House did not tip over.

At this moment, she felt like she was sitting on a roller coaster with safety devices, spinning and bumping along with the drifting island house, and being hit wildly by the waves. She knew that she should have left the lake area long ago, because huge buildings and trees appeared in the waves from time to time.

The buildings and trees seemed to be made of foam, and they shattered and collapsed wherever the water flowed.

Because of the raft's automatic dodging function, the drifting island house was able to turn in time every time and pass by these solid building and tree fragments. The raft was protected in an oval protective cover, like a floating object in a safety cocoon. After an unknown amount of time, it finally floated to the surface.

The sky and earth above the water were still filled with a lot of water vapor, and the strong winds and heavy rains were still there. Looking through the glass, everything seemed to have disappeared except for the rain and water. The surrounding water flow was still very fast, and the raft seemed to have passed the crest of a tsunami and was in a flat area after the peak.

The situation inside the house on the drifting island was fine. The protective cover relieved most of the impact pressure. The raft was just bumping and rising and falling with the water flow, but it did not flip over, and the furniture and items inside did not move too much.

Shu Fu calmed down a little, turned off the portable protective shield on the bracelet, and then checked the time on the function screen.

The remaining time on the portable protective shield is 50 minutes and 23 seconds. It was such a long time just now, but only six minutes had passed?

She took out her cell phone, but the internet was completely gone. All the news and disaster notices had stopped a dozen minutes ago, as if the whole world had disappeared, leaving only the turbulent waters and her raft between heaven and earth.

The sky was as dark as ink, and the heavy rain was still pouring down, causing waves of splashes on the water. The raft floated aimlessly under the impact of the water.

This was the first time she was in the house on the drifting island without a clear direction, and was just allowed to drift with the current.

When she returned to the small house she rented in Suicheng alone, she had felt the doomsday feeling of loneliness, as if she was the only one left in the world, and at this moment that feeling was magnified tenfold.

Shu Fu sat motionless in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the sky, earth and the vast water outside, trying to find some trace of Lou Yun City in the waters he drifted through, but it was in vain.

After more than ten minutes, the turbulent water surface gradually calmed down, but it was not over yet. On the contrary, everything had just begun.

In the next five or six hours, tsunamis occurred at regular intervals. The heights of the waves varied. None of them were as terrifying as the first world-destroying super tsunami. One tsunami exceeded 100 meters, and the rest were all above 50 meters.

Shu Fu was terrified at first, but she gradually calmed down because the raft and the drifting island house were safe and sound every time the huge waves roared. She first took out her mobile phone to take pictures of the tsunami several times to compare the peak height, and then she thought of something and took out the map panel.

Now the network is down, and there is water all outside, so it is impossible to tell the current location of the raft. However, you can actually check it from the water map, because the location of the raft will be marked with a flashing red light.

Then, by comparing the waterway map with the map of Louyun City that she had downloaded earlier, she could roughly infer the location of the raft.

She had been in Louyun City for so long, and had previously checked the current map on the function screen and map panel. However, at that time, probably because Louyun City was still on land, there was no map of Louyun City on the map, and there was still only a map of Suicheng and the waterway from Suicheng to Louyun City.

The end of the waterway map ends outside Dam No. 1, as if the smooth waterway has reached its end.

But now, this end no longer existed. On the left side of the waterway, like a river flowing into a lake, a new light green shape with irregular edges appeared. The whole shape was roughly trapezoidal, and it was indeed similar to the map of Louyun City that she had downloaded before.

This should be the water map of Louyun City. It finally appeared, but ironically, the premise of its appearance was the same as that of the water map of Suicheng, that is, both were engulfed by the vast flood.

What's even more terrifying is that at this moment on this map of the Louyun City waters, there are only a few dark green dots and blocks in the west, northwest and southwest, and the red dot representing the raft is on the middle right side of the map, at the bottom and left side of the map, and there is a large area around it without any dark green graphics.

She knew that some of these figures were the remaining buildings in Louyun City, and some were the mountainous areas with higher altitudes in the southwest. As for the rest, the large tracts of land and the buildings on the land starting from Dam No. 1 to the west had all disappeared without exception.

The height of the first wave of tsunami waves was conservatively estimated to have exceeded 350 meters. 350 meters is almost equal to the height of more than 100 buildings. Under waves of this height, no matter how solid the building is, it will be easily shattered like a car hitting a cookie house.

At this moment, looking out from the house on the drifting island, there was no sign of any victims on the water. She knew in her heart what this world-destroying super tsunami meant to Lou Yuncheng.

What's more, the tsunami may hit more than just Louyun City at the same time.

She still remembered the earthquake reports before the tsunami. It was very likely that the entire Muzhou Province and Xiren Province had encountered the same world-destroying wave.

Such speculation made her feel extremely heavy.

Did those reborn people she guessed really cooperate and participate in the preventive measures?

If we say that the construction of water-blocking dams and the large-scale relocation of residents from hilly cities are all due to the official belief in the apocalyptic videos and some reborn people.

So did the authorities foresee this terrible, world-destroying tsunami in advance?

She didn't know the process and specific disaster of the collapse of the entire world because she had not experienced it personally.

But the reborn are different. They were originally from this world. They have experienced all the disasters personally and returned from the future. They know the detailed steps of how the disaster occurred.

If the reborn were willing to cooperate and tell the order of all the disasters, the authorities would take action. They would not have missed such a huge disaster.

If the authorities knew about the tsunami in advance, why didn't they force the evacuation of all cities in the hilly area before the tsunami arrived?

No matter how favorable the treatment offered by collective relocation is, there are still many people who are unwilling to leave. If the flood rises at a normal speed and submerges hilly cities, then there is nothing wrong with this policy.

But now...

It's inevitable that she'll have some conspiracy theories.

Is it to ensure that order does not collapse?

Is it possible?

But initially, wasn’t the Suicheng evacuation also carried out in a forced and orderly manner?

What went wrong here?

**

At seven o'clock in the evening, the water surface, which had been roaring for five or six hours, finally calmed down.

But even without the huge waves, the waters outside were still not peaceful. The heavy rain was still falling, and the dark clouds were hanging very low. Lightning flashed and moved, and spider-web-like patterns appeared from time to time.

It was a thunderstorm, and the entire area of ​​water was covered by it.

At this moment, the planet seemed to have returned to its infancy, when dinosaurs had not yet been born. It rained heavily every day on the planet, and this rain lasted for a million years, almost causing the extinction of animals and plants...

A million years of rain...

Shu Fu shuddered slightly when she thought of this. Even in the house on the drifting island with a constant temperature of 25 degrees Celsius, she actually felt a chill on her spine.

Fortunately, the slight vibration on her wrist immediately brought her back to her senses and calmed her emotions.

[Within two hours, choose one of the three locations: Chu Xiufeng in Louyun City (longitude XX east, latitude XX north), Mufeng Farm (longitude XX east, latitude XX north), and Sun Garden (longitude XX east, latitude XX north) to arrive and place the raft to complete the check-in task, and obtain a 15% progress bar for level 3 rafts; get a turntable lottery: 10 times. (Current progress of level 3 rafts: 100%)]

[Congratulations! The raft has been upgraded to level 3! ]

[You can view the raft level 3 function in the "Unsinkable Drifting Island House". 】

Shu Fu looked at the 10 draws with great joy. She had already expected that after giving out the 15% progress bar reward this time, there would be no additional progress bar. After all, it was the progress of upgrading the raft to level 4, and it was impossible to give it so early.

But these 10 draws still surprised her.

Shu Fu took out the turntable to draw a lottery, and hurried to the function screen behind the door to check the level 3 raft function. During this time, he couldn't help but look back at the interior of the wooden house to see if there were any changes. He was doing three things at once, just like a greedy hamster trying desperately to stuff food into his mouth.

In the end, she was the first to click on the function screen.

Whole house electricity source: No electricity card is equipped. 】

[The maximum distance for placing rafts: within 50 meters]

The first thing Shu Fu saw was that the daily usage limit had been upgraded to 20 hours!

Moreover, it was already past seven o'clock in the evening, but the raft still had about 14 hours of usage time left today. This was the first time she saw the usage time being greater than the remaining time of the day.

This usage time once again exceeded her psychological expectations. The raft usage time increased by another 8 hours per day, which meant that she only needed to go outside to find buildings or land to spend 4 hours a day.

Compared to the 12 hours that she had to spend outside on a level 2 raft, she could completely accept spending these four hours just floating on the inflatable boat and treating it as working time.

She can even drift for 2 hours in the morning and 2 hours in the afternoon, and spend the rest of the time in the safe wooden house.

Shu Fu suddenly felt like she was working hard and rising in the position. Initially, she had to work outside for 19 hours a day in exchange for a pitiful 5 hours of rest time.

Later I was promoted to a higher level. I had to work 12 hours and rest 12 hours a day, but I still had to go out early and come back late, which was very hard work.

Now I have finally made it. I only need to spend 4 hours a day working outside, and I can lie down for the remaining 20 hours.

Shu Fu felt that the upgrade of this one function alone was worth his busyness over the past few months.

What's more, the level 3 raft has some additional features.

She began to check them one by one.

She first tried to click on the "One-click dust removal" and the words "Confirm one-click dust removal?" popped up. Shu Fu was a little curious. Would it be the kind that would clean up even the snack packaging bags she threw on the coffee table?

She clicked to confirm, and the light and shadow around her changed for a moment. She looked back and saw that the snack packaging bag on the coffee table was still there, but the entire floor, walls, doors and windows that drifted into the house felt as if they had been cleaned, spotlessly clean without a speck of dust.

"It's for dust removal..." Shu Fu touched everywhere. Although it only had the function of dust removal, this function was actually very practical. After all, she had to do all the cleaning work in the Drifting Island House by herself. Now, it can be cleaned in a second and as bright as new.

The emergence of the building mode seemed reasonable. The safe house on the raft could be built according to one's own wishes, but there was also a "one-click house change" mode. She tried to click it, and it showed: No unlocked blueprint was detected, and one-click house change was not possible.

Shu Fu understood that this one-click house-changing function should be able to quickly change the appearance and internal structure of the house on the drifting island. It looks extremely convenient and high-tech, but it requires an unlocked blueprint.

She could roughly guess that this building blueprint might have to be obtained from the lottery wheel.

After clicking "Manual Renovation", a 3D stereogram will appear, which is the current internal structure diagram of the Drifting Island House. The structure diagram can be freely rotated to change direction, stretched and expanded, and the positions of individual doors, windows, walls, bathroom and kitchen compartments and newly added half-floors can be changed as long as the structural proportions are reasonable.

She tried moving the floor-to-ceiling window next to the dining table to another wall and placing it together with the floor-to-ceiling window next to the cushioned bookshelf, then pressed "Confirm".

Suddenly, the light and shadow in the wooden house changed for a moment. When Shu Fu looked back, she found that the window next to the dining table was gone, and next to the bookshelf, the original floor-to-ceiling window and the moved floor-to-ceiling window merged together, becoming a floor-to-ceiling glass window of twice the size.

The wall on this side is now almost all floor-to-ceiling glass, providing a better view. The dark sea outside the wooden house, the flashing thunderstorms, and the heavy rain falling on the undulating sea are becoming clearer and clearer, as if they can be touched by hand.

It was terrifying, but also shocking. She once again realized with great clarity how insignificant humans are living in such a roaring nature.

Human beings must always have awe for nature.

After trying the "manual reconstruction", Shu Fu put the floor-to-ceiling window back to its original position. She did not move other structures in the house because she was quite satisfied with the internal structure of the cottage, especially after adding the staggered space.

Moreover, "manual renovation" consumes too much brain cells, so she plans to save up her luck and wait until she draws the building blueprints before using the "one-click house change" mode.

The driving mode and other small daily household functions have not changed much. The maximum flow rate has been increased, and the capacity of the water tank and waste water tank has increased tenfold. Combined with the 100L of purified water per day and the automatic storage of the daily surplus in the water tank, this means that as long as the raft stops on the water, the water tank will automatically store purified water every day, without any waste, which also simplifies her work.

These are all very subtle changes, but they are the functions she needs.

Finally, in the "Protection Function", the "Drift Bottle Protection Shield" was officially unlocked. The function was the same as the previous trial, and it could be switched between "Automatic" and "Manual" modes. She clicked on them separately and figured out their functions.

Set to "Auto" and the shield will automatically open in extreme weather conditions that the raft cannot currently withstand.

For example, the weather outside was fine before she went to bed, but it suddenly changed in the middle of the night, with a tsunami or a super thunderstorm. After she woke up and turned on the "protective shield" on the function screen, the raft might be damaged during this time.

But after setting it to "automatic", as long as there is extreme weather that the raft and the drifting island house cannot withstand, the "protective shield" will automatically open, and when the extreme weather is over, the "protective shield" will automatically close again.

Shu Fu did not hesitate and immediately set it to "automatic".

In addition to being more intelligent, this function can also help her identify which disasters will cause damage to the raft, and open the "protective shield" only when it is really needed, without wasting any time.

She had anticipated that the protective shield would be used for a limited time each day. Although it was only four hours, these four hours were different from the usage time of the raft because they could be stored and would be automatically stored at 0 o'clock.

As for the 12-hour countdown stored there, it should be the experience card she drew before. The experience card with 5 hours remaining has been used up, and now she is using another one. It is calculated that the remaining time is almost 12 hours.

Not long after she set the "protective shield" to "automatic" mode, the countdown behind the stored time stopped, which meant that the drift bottle protective shield was automatically closed. It was estimated that the current disaster magnitude was judged to have no impact on the raft and the drifting island house.

The "bracelet remote control" function is even more surprising. After activating this function, an eighth icon appears under the seventh icon on the bracelet. The picture is a bottle with a raft in it.

She tried it and found that this was a shortcut function. By long pressing, she could directly open the raft's drifting bottle shield.

This function, combined with the current maximum placement distance of the raft, will save her a lot of trouble in the future as long as it is used properly.

After studying all the new functions of the Level 3 raft, Shu Fu went to the bathroom to wash her hands and used cherry blossom-scented hand soap. Then she took the lottery wheel and sat cross-legged in front of the wooden coffee table in the living room.

She placed the turntable on the coffee table, prayed devoutly, and started to draw ten times in a row.
