Global Flood: I Have a Floating Safehouse

Torrential rains, tsunamis, hurricanes, thunderstorms, hail, aquatic life mutations… The world has become increasingly unstable. Cities are swallowed by floods, water tornadoes rage through river...

Chapter 50 No Lou Yuncheng

Chapter 50 No Lou Yuncheng

First turn, green third prize: one month electricity card.

Shu Fu accepted it with great joy.

Second turn, red third prize: seafood sashimi gift pack x 10.

Shu Fu was so excited that her heart was beating like a deer. It turned out that the third red prize was the material resources of the fourth prize multiplied by 10!

Different from previous gift packs, half of this seafood gift pack can be eaten directly while the other half needs to be processed and cooked.

Especially the part that is eaten directly, there are boxes of sashimi and sushi with a wide variety of options, including salmon slices, sea bream slices, arctic scallops, sea urchin sashimi, lobster sashimi, salmon nigiri, wasabi octopus sushi, sweet shrimp sushi, crab leg sushi, and even special soy sauce and mustard for sashimi.

In addition, there were several boxes of oysters, scallops and abalone, neatly arranged in the boxes. The last box was the largest, and it contained a processed king crab, with its cut body and long legs filling the entire box.

This king crab can be steamed with garlic, but the freshest and easiest way to eat it is actually to steam it. That is, no seasoning is needed. It can be eaten directly after steaming. The crab meat itself will have the salty taste of sea water. Peel off the crab leg shell and pull out the crab leg meat. It tastes fresh and tender in your mouth.

Or you can take some crab meat to make porridge. Crab meat and seafood porridge is also a delicious dish.

Although she has never cooked it, she has eaten it.

Shu Fu used to eat sashimi often in his native world, but after coming to this world, he spent four years as a student. Seafood sashimi was expensive, so he seldom ate it. After the disaster began, he could no longer eat such fresh and safe sashimi.

She looked at the space and immediately stuffed all 10 gift packages into it.

Third turn, green second prize: raft extended use card (one week).

She really didn't expect that such a precious extension card would only be valid for a week!

This one plus the previous one can extend the time by a total of 192 hours. Based on the current daily usage time of the raft, it is conservatively estimated that the raft can be used continuously for 49 to 50 days. Of course, the premise is that the time can be unpaused at any time.

There is no rush for this, you can try it later when you really need it.

Fourth Turn, Blue Fourth Prize: Raft Fence x 5

Shu Fu: ...

Fifth turn, red third prize: 20L bottled pure drinking water x 100.

Shu Fu didn't dare to claim the prize at all, because there were too many of them and they took up too much space, so she could only click "No" when the words "Do you want to claim the prize" appeared, and temporarily leave the prize in the turntable.

But the good news is that she no longer has to worry about not having enough drinking water.

The sixth turn, the third red prize: fried food gift packs x 10.

A fried food gift pack is about the size of a cardboard box, and contains 2 boxes of spicy fried chicken wings, 2 boxes of crispy fried squid tentacles, 2 boxes of crispy pork, 2 boxes of pepper and salt fried spareribs, 2 boxes of mixed fried oyster mushrooms and king oyster mushrooms, 3 boxes of golden fried chicken feet, 3 boxes of cumin palm treasures, 3 boxes of cumin fried wing tips, and 3 boxes of crispy fried duck tongues.

The amount of each gift package is staggering. It feels like she will be able to fry whatever she wants in the future!

Shu Fu silently took out some large and seldom used items from the space, and then stuffed the 10 fried food gift packs in.

Turn 7, Blue Third Prize: Drifting Island House Blueprint.

Shu Fu's eyes lit up. She actually won a blueprint! But this blueprint was a third-place blueprint, not as high as the automatic water fishing rod. She always felt...

As expected, after receiving the blueprint card, it was marked [Congratulations on winning the third prize: Drifting Island House Blueprint (Class C, Original Style Thatched House), (Note: Must be used on a Level 3 raft)]

Shu Fu: ...

The name of this blueprint makes people feel that this house will not be beautiful.

The eighth turn, the third green prize: a one-month electricity card.

Excluding a half-used weekly card, she now has a total of two new weekly cards and two new monthly cards. It feels like she is starting to have more freedom in her electricity usage!

Ninth turn, blue second prize: underwater bedroom. (Note: must be used on a level 3 raft)

Shu Fu looked at the four words and thought she had read them wrongly. What bedroom? What was underwater?

Is that what she thought it meant?

She accepted it immediately. The light and shadow in the house on Drifting Island changed in an instant. She stood up and looked around. Finally, she found a change in the corner of the wall near the dining table on the left side of the front door. An obvious square outline appeared on the originally tightly fitted wooden floor, and a smooth metal button appeared on it.

She reached out and pressed the metal button, and the square piece of wooden floor slowly sank a few centimeters and moved to the side, like an automatic basement door installed on the floor.

After the floor door was removed, the small wooden spiral staircase below was revealed. Shu Fu looked down and saw that it was pitch black with a faint, swaying light coming through. Shu Fu took out her cell phone and turned on the flashlight, shining it downwards. She saw the wooden staircase winding down with handrails on both sides. It was very delicate and small, not very high, about two and a half to three meters.

The flashlight moved, and the floor below reflected a dazzling light. Only then did she realize that the floor at the bottom of the stairs was actually completely transparent glass.

Shu Fu immediately walked down the spiral wooden staircase. As she entered the space little by little, she soon discovered that not only the floor, but the entire space except the ceiling, the four walls and the floor were all made of one-piece transparent glass.

She was standing in this space at the moment, as if she was sinking to the bottom of the water.

Because it was night time, the light underwater was very dim, but thunderstorms were still raging in the clouds, so this space would also be illuminated from time to time by the lightning projected from the water surface along with the thunderstorms.

That's how she saw the light of water just now.

The size of the entire underwater bedroom is different from that of the floating island house. It is only about 20 square meters, without partitions, and is a whole. Probably because it is called a bedroom, there is a bed inside. In the middle of the back side of the space, there is a low, soft, round bed fixed.

The round bed has a matching round mattress, but no pillows or bedding. Apart from that, there is a chaise longue next to the glass wall, and nothing else.

The whole room was empty and it felt very insecure. People with thalassemia phobia couldn't stay there for too long.

Shu Fu looked at the glass floor and was hesitant to take a step at first. It took her a while to adapt. She walked around the room with a flashlight and returned to the upper wooden house with an exclamation of surprise.

She has lived in a pure glass underwater bedroom in the real world, and some famous islands use this as a selling point.

Underwater rooms, underwater restaurants, underwater bathrooms...

However, those are basically fixed buildings, and some of the surrounding waters are oceans, while others are giant aquariums.

There’s something truly stunning about a glass bedroom like this, secured underneath a floating house.

She began to understand the real purpose of this underwater bedroom. It was actually a viewing bedroom, but the prerequisite was that the surrounding waters could not be in the ruins of a newly destroyed city, but should be in a real ocean.

The sea is clear blue or turquoise, with colorful coral reefs and beautiful fish swimming among them.

Shu Fu collected her thoughts and returned to the coffee table. She still had one chance left to draw the lottery. Today's prizes were already very generous, with most of them being third prizes and only one being a fourth prize.

I feel that the probability of winning a high-level prize in this lottery will increase as the raft is upgraded, so will there be a golden reward in this last chance?

Shu Fu clicked the lottery wheel and stared at the pointer, watching it stop little by little, gradually approach the gold, then pass the gold and reach the red, but slowly leave the red, then pass a grid of green and blue, and finally stop on an extremely thin grid of gold.

The gold grid was so thin that she couldn't even tell with her naked eyes whether the pointer was stopped at it or not.

But soon, the text told her.

[Congratulations on winning the first prize: raft towing position × 1 (Note: must be used on a level 5 raft)]

Shu Fu was shocked.

She seemed to have pulled out something extraordinary!

But, it feels like I didn’t win anything…

An extremely dazzling golden card fell into her palm. It was worthy of being the first prize in gold. There was even a beautiful golden relief on the card. This exquisite relief immediately made the whole card look much more impressive than the second prize in gold.

There is also a line of small words on it: Raft towing position × 1, must be used on a level 5 raft.

Shu Fu, who had just upgraded his raft to level 3, was a little speechless.

She made a bold guess: does the so-called towing position mean that after the raft is upgraded to level 5, it will have the function of towing other water vehicles?

She imagined her little cutie towing ten large ships. She wondered who would tow whom...

After so many draws, she gradually realized that some of the higher-level rewards, such as the electric card, raft shield card, and the towing space at the moment, were carrots hanging in front of the donkey.

Only by giving her some sweetness and hope can this "donkey" continue to work hard to upgrade the raft with happy positive energy.

After all, when she saw the daily usage time of 20 hours just now, she had a sudden thought that even if she didn't upgrade, as long as she survived for 4 hours a day, she could still survive...

After all the draws were over, it was almost eight o'clock in the evening.

Probably because of the stimulation of today's super tsunami, she didn't feel hungry at all. Shu Fu didn't want to force herself to eat at this time. She equipped the power card on the function screen, took out all the devices that needed charging, then reopened the sliding door of the underwater bedroom, and moved the household items that had been moved out of the bracelet space because of the two big gift package prizes to the underwater bedroom.

She had already prepared to turn on the flashlight on her cell phone, but as soon as the door opened, she saw a dim light of light blue from below.

She walked down the stairs and found that the dim blue light was coming from around the round bed. There should be a hidden light strip there that would turn on automatically when there was electricity in the Drifting Island House.

This blue light is not glaring or abrupt, but very dark, which makes the entire underwater bedroom look light blue. This blue makes this place feel like being in the real ocean, beautiful and a little dreamy.

Shu Fu looked around and didn't stay long. He placed the items in the corner and went upstairs.

Even if she was heartless, she couldn't use this underwater bedroom at night for the time being. She could come down here to check the situation under the water when the light was good during the day.

After closing the sliding door, she entered the bathroom and began to fill the tub with water, adding a lavender-scented bath salt ball.

She hasn't taken a bath for several months. Even in the past month since she moved to the staff building of the B&B, she basically took showers in the B&B in order to save water in the wooden house.

Such clean water without any chemical smell, filling a whole wooden barrel, actually made her feel a bit like a luxury.

As more and more water filled the wooden barrel, the bath salt balls gradually melted, producing rich, fine foam, and the entire space was filled with a light, elegant fragrance.

She quickly turned on two washing machines, divided the clothes that had accumulated recently into two parts: home underwear and going-out clothes, and washed them at the same time. Then she took the Bluetooth speaker into the bathroom and placed it on the shelf, selected a playlist of all soothing instrumental music, dimmed the lights in the bathroom, and started taking a bath.

The lattice window next to the wooden tub in the shower room had long been upgraded to a large floor-to-ceiling glass window. She had complained about it when she first drew this reward, but now she realizes that when she has time to enjoy a quiet bath, a large floor-to-ceiling glass through which she can see the scenery outside will upgrade the experience several times.

Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows was still an endless expanse of undulating waters, the heavy rain was still falling, and purple-blue lightning occasionally lit up the night sky, creating colorful cracks.

Not long ago, the same natural scenery made her shiver, but at this moment, she didn't know if it was because of the piano version of "Galaxy Realm" coming from her ears - a healing music, or because of the faint scent of lavender coming from her nose that soothed her mind and relieved her fatigue.

As she looked at this scene again, her mood gradually calmed down.

She leaned back in the tub and let herself close her eyes.

**

That night, after Shu Fu had taken a bath and hung out clothes, she felt very tired. In the end, she just drank a glass of milk and climbed onto the bed on the small compartment, covered with a thin quilt and fell asleep.

The raft was put into mooring mode and would only stay in this deserted area. Plus with the automatic function of the protective shield, she didn't have to worry about a sudden disaster in the middle of the night, so she slept peacefully that night.

There was no signal on her cell phone, so she didn't need to set the alarm and slept soundly until she woke up naturally.

When she woke up the next day, it was already nine o'clock in the morning. She had slept for almost 12 hours. She turned over to the right side of the bed and lifted the curtains of the floor-to-ceiling windows that were specially installed on the upper floor.

It was still raining outside, but it was not the terrible lightning, thunder and heavy rain like yesterday. The visibility was higher than yesterday, but the sky was gloomy and the surrounding waters were still empty and boundless, and no buildings or ships could be seen.

There were no landmarks where she was, so she couldn't tell whether the water level caused by the tsunami had dropped.

Shu Fu lay on the bed for a while and played a single-player game on her mobile phone until she started to feel hungry. Then she lazily got up and washed up.

For breakfast, I had potato salad and an egg, ham and cheese sandwich, a cup of matcha milk, and a bowl of washed crispy kumquats as fruit.

While biting into her sandwich, she drew aside the curtains on both sides of the French windows in the living room and checked the water map on the function screen.

Neither the map panel nor the water map on the function screen could leave a visual record in the electronic device, so she could only compare the water maps of the past two days based on her memory of yesterday.

It seemed that there were more dark green dots in the southwest of the water area, but it might just be that she remembered it wrong.

There was still nothing around the raft.

Lou Yuncheng disappeared completely.

In the column for the raft protective cover, the storage time has become 16:20:05. Judging from the accumulated time, the protective cover has not opened automatically since she fell asleep last night, which means that the extreme weather has not worsened.

It was still windy and rainy outside today, so after noon, Shu Fu swiped the 24-hour "raft delay card" on the function screen.

The countdown for the raft's usage time was paused, and a line of words popped up on the screen: Raft delay card equipped (23:59:57).

She tried it and found that this card, like the electric card, could be released at any time.

She breathed a sigh of relief, this way, the delay card would not be wasted at all.

After all, in the current situation, from the starting point Suicheng, to the waterway from Suicheng to Louyuncheng, and then to the waters of Louyuncheng, there are too few dark green icons - which means that there are very few lands and buildings that can be landed.

Several mountainous highlands in the southwest and northwest of Louyun City have now become the land closest to the water. If the nearby residents are lucky, they will escape there before the tsunami arrives. Those places should be crowded at this moment, and some rescue work will also be carried out from there. Rescue stations and temporary resettlement points should also be set up around them.

At this time, she certainly couldn't go west to find a place to temporarily go ashore during the day. Instead, she had better continue drifting eastward, going deep into the water, and completely avoiding waters where rescue ships might exist.

Otherwise, if she was found and brought back by the rescue team, regardless of whether the raft had the protective shield on at the time, whether others would notice anything unusual, when the rescue team took her to transfer, she would probably be forced to perform "barrier jamming" and "resurrection" on land...

But thinking in reverse, the extension card now has a total of 192 hours, which means it provides her with 48 opportunities for extension, and these 48 also represent 48 days.

The prizes awarded by the roulette wheel often fit her current situation. This time, she was given so many opportunities to stay on the raft. Does it mean that she will be trapped in these waters longer this time?

Shu Fu set a four-hour alarm on his mobile phone, ready to remove the delay card when the time came. He then manually opened the protective cover, and finally left the cabin, sat under the eaves, and began to set the drifting route using the map panel.

The destination she set was near the original Dam No. 1. Looking at the water map, the water area east of the raft was a large area of ​​light green. She found the approximate location of the dam after comparing it with Lou Yuncheng's electronic map.

Before, when she was drifting through Suicheng in a protective shield, the tall and short buildings were submerged in the flood. Although the underwater city in the heavy rain was desolate and lonely, at least the appearance of the city could still be seen.

Now, as the raft began to drift, the surrounding water did not change at all.

All the pain and despair of life and death, separation, and separation were buried under this cold water. Although it seemed calm on the surface, she knew that this was the true silence.

A lively and hardworking city has completely withdrawn from the stage of history and turned into an underwater ruin. Hundreds or even thousands of years later, this place may become another legendary Atlantis...

The raft drifted on the water at a speed of 60 kilometers per hour. Shu Fu sat under the eaves of the front door for a while, and then moved to the eaves of the back door, so that he could use a telescope to observe the entire water area from multiple angles.

The water surface is not empty. As the raft drifts, some broken building fragments and tree fragments will appear on the nearby water surface. In fact, there are also some larger debris, but these are meaningless floating objects and will not be marked with dark green icons on the water map.

The raft automatically circled around these floating objects, continued to move eastward, and soon reached its destination.

Shu Fu once again compared the electronic map of Lou Yuncheng with the position of the raft on the water map and confirmed that he had arrived at Dam No. 1. However, like other waters, there was nothing here, and the water surface was even cleaner than the places he had passed before.

The tall, thick, rock-solid safety wall, which was once regarded as a savior by the people of Louyun City, was not only destroyed by the super tsunami, but was also completely submerged under the water.

Shu Fu stood on the raft and looked around. There were only dark clouds, heavy rain, wind and waves, and dark, undulating water. Apart from that, there was nothing else.
